Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Chapter 49

When class ended, Ezekiel was the first one to go outside and hurriedly went inside an empty classroom.

He excitedly opened his notebook on a table and read the contents but his brows furrowed when he read the last two words.

Macaron?

Imacopycat?

Ima-copy-cat?

I’m a copy cat?!

How dare she mock me like this!

On another thought, she’s a worthy opponent. She has seen my tricks to copy her notes. I must make another plan!

But in reality, it was so obvious that he’s copying Remillia’s notes.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Since I don’t have a class anymore, might as well as hit the training center again.

Combat Exam is coming soon so the training center is packed today.

I went to a locker, placed all my items, changed my outfit then I went to grab a gym equipment and started to exercise after 5 minutes or so, I stopped and looked around.

’Why do I feel so uncomfortable today?’

I didn’t forgot anything right? I went inside the locker room and checked all my belongings. My things are complete, so what did I forget?

I went outside again, I checked if all the important characters are here. Cypher, Angela, Edge....

’Wait, where’s Whitney?’

My eyes widened as I frantically walked in circles.

’Sh!t don’t tell me-’

Whitney’s the next victim. But why is it early? Whitney should have been kidnapped after the combat exam ended. So why now?

I immediately went to Cypher.

"Cypher! Gather up the members quickly, Whitney’s missing!"

"Since when was she gone?"

"I haven’t seen her this morning."

"How sure are you? Who knows maybe she doesn’t have class today or she’s just in her dorm sleeping or at her friend’s place?"

"Just gather them up! Meet me at Room 201 now!"

For the record, Room 201 is where our so called ’club room’ is located. It’s a room that was assigned to us in charge of the ’missing students case’.

I went to my locker room to get changed into my high collared jumpsuit and wore my drop leg sheath on both thighs. I always carry this in my bag in case of an emergency like the recent battles I’ve fought and I didn’t expect it to wear it sooner.

She immediately went to Room 201, there she met all of the members.

Edge annoyingly said to me,"Why did you gather us here?"

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Whitney’s missing, we need to find her quickly, she must have been kidnapped by Sylvester."

Christian asked her next.

"And why would Sylvester kidnap her?"

I answered them frustratedly, "Because he’s the one I’m telling you about! He’s a rogue and his last victim will be Whitney!"

They all just stared at me then laughed. Only Cypher and Angela were the ones who didn’t laugh. In annoyance, I stab the table with my dagger. They all looked at me seriously. Cypher was the one who broke the coldness inside the room.

"Remillia’s right, let’s check if Whitney and Sylvester has gone missing for the past five hours."

Angela talked, "So Remillia, care to tell us what your plan is?"

’Thank goodness, I earned their trust.’

Remillia talked, "So here’s the plan, Edge look at the basement rooms, Angela will look at storage rooms Rex you’ll be in charge of looking witnesses that has seen Whitney and Sylvester together. Christian look for empty class and club rooms, Cypher will be looking for them at each dorm and I’ll be checking them at the cctv cameras."

After confirming what they will do, I gave each one of them walkie talkies.

Christian curiously asked me, "Where did you get so many of these?"

I frustratedly sighed, he sure acts like a parrot.

"Why do you need to ask every little thing? I borrowed them from Elara, does that answer your question?"

Christian wants to ask more questions on who Elara is but decided to shut his mouth when he saw Remillia glaring at her.

Before I went here, I first went at the Field Sports Club Room and borrowed some of their walkie talkies.

"Okay, is everyone ready? Let’s go."

As Remillia gave the final instructions, the group of friends nodded in agreement, hesitation etched on their faces. Although they were having second thoughts about Remillia’s sudden thought and actions, they had no choice since Cypher, their leader, agreed to it.

Rex questioned every student who might have seen Whitney or Sylvester together

Angela and Edge split up, Angela heading to the storage rooms and Rex to the witness interviews. Angela’s keen eyes scanned the shelves and crates, searching for any clue that might lead them to Whitney. Edge, on the other hand, made his way to each of the basement rooms, checking every nook and cranny for any sign of Whitney.

Cypher took charge of searching the dorms, room by room, calling out Whitney’s name and asking if anyone had seen her. Christian, with his curious nature, was tasked with checking the empty classrooms and club rooms, searching for any sign.

The group worked tirelessly, their walkie-talkies crackling with Remillia called out the updates from each team member.

Meanwhile, Remillia went to an empty room and summoned Noblesee Codex. The checking of CCTV is only an alibi so she needs to act fast before someone could discover her.

After finding the information I needed, the marks already left my body as I stood up. My eyes sparkled with determination as I thought of Whitney.

’I promise I won’t let her die, I need to rewrite this d@mn novel.’

Remillia called out to all of them thru the walkie-talkies.

"Grab I already know where she is! Let’s go!"

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Meanwhile, before Whitney was kidnapped.

Whitney was on her way to her dormitory to rest after a long discussion of what to take on the written exam. The halls to the dorm were silent since most of the students were still in class while others went to train.

As she turned a corner, she noticed a figure lurking in the shadows. It was Sylvester.

Sylvester stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling intensity.

"Whitney, you’re coming with me," he said, his voice low and menacing.

"No, why would I?"

Whitney noticed that something is different about him. As she was about to take out her whip, he suddenly went behind her and covered her mouth using a handkerchief.

"Hmmmphf! Hmpff!"

She tried to resist but her eyes were droppy as she was slowly losing consciousness.

"What... Did you do to... Me?"

Sylvester gave her a wicked grin.

"Don’t worry, I was given orders not to kill you."

"You.. bastard."

When she woke up, she was in an unfamiliar place that looked like a warehouse, she was surrounded by tons of big boxes. She tried to move but she was tied up in a chair.

"Finally, the princess is awake now, considering that you’re planning to become a Hero, you’re quite weak you know?"

She angrily screamed but only a muffled voice came out as she struggled to get free. In the end, she was sweating with tears as she glared at him menacingly.

"Are you done? Haha, I would love to hear you scream and struggle if only we were in a different place..."

He looked at her with lust. Whitney looked away, disgusted with the look he’s giving.

"...But its the Lord’s order, I was told not to touch you since she also wants you but for a different reason so get ready to meet her."

Sylvester looked at his wrist watch.

"Hmmm.. She’s not here yet, what if we have a little bit of fun huh?"

He approached her as his hand grabbed her thigh and slowly rubbed it, Whitney tried to fling his hand away but he’s too strong.

"Hmphf! Mmph!"

"It’s okay, we would surely enjoy -"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A loud explosion can be heard from the distance.

He annoyingly sighed as he looked at where the explosion came from.

"Way to ruin the mood, guys."

Sylvester looked at the group who was standing in front of the door, especially the one at the center. He smiled deviously.

"Ah... Remillia! You were supposed to be the next person I was ordered to capture. I’m glad you came here, it saved me enough time to kidna- Sh!t!"

A dagger as fast as lightning was aimed at his face. Luckily he dodged it but he got a light scratch causing him to bleed a little.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

"If I hadn’t thrown the dagger, you should have killed us all with that boring talk of yours."

"You b!tch!"

Whitney was crying while trying to say something while Sylvester looked at them with rage.

"I’m hurt, I’m just saving you the trouble from wasting your saliva. Also, can you come down? It hurts my neck to look at you from the second floor, it’s so annoying."

"I’m a follower of Mistress Lyraxy! How dare you make fun of me!"

"You mean slave."

"Why you!"

His eyes glowed red including the mark on his wrist as he raised his hand and shouted, "Arise!"

Remillia grimaced in disgust.

"Ugh! How dare you copy the MC from Dual Leveling? How cheap of you!"

"I have no other catchphrase to think of, so don’t be a killjoy!"
