Chat Group For Magicians 144 The Awakened Third Par

Since class for the afternoon is suspended, students were all sent home without any exception. Of course, I am one of the people left inside since I have the special privilege to check out what was going on and find traces of who is the real culprit. With the school grounds empty, no one will hinder our investigations."Alright, let's get to our job," Asuza said as she gathered all the undercover magicians in the field.I am surprised because even the Janitors and the security guards are undercover magicians too. I only found out that they were precisely there to check anyone who can be the awakened one in the students and staff."Aren't we in a very open space? Won't the others find us in case there are still a few students lurking around?" I said to Asuza."No worries, that is why we are here so that I can perform the magic ritual to allow us to move into a separate space where normal people can't see and detect our presence."Well, that is to be expected. With all the secrecy the magicians have with their activities, these kinds of magic are normal for us. I have yet to learn any of them but I already have the noise and vision barrier already so I guess it is enough for me.Asuza took out a coin from her breast pocket and toss it in the air. While the coin is still spinning in the air, Asuza bit her thumb and blood flowed out of her skin. Before the coin lands, she flicks her bleeding thumb and whisks the blood away into the coin's direction. A few droplets dropped into the coin and when it landed into the ground, the coin suddenly expanded and we are engulfed into the light."Coin Transfer Magic: Spatial Movement!"FUUUUU~Then, our environment changed and everything else became different. It looked the same as in the real one, however, everything is an inverted color like the black on the other side is white on this other side and vice versa. Still, it is the same world."This must be your first time here right Kazuma? Welcome to the D-world also known for its long name, Dimensional World. This is another dimension mirroring our real world. No ordinary human will detect our movements and no awakened ones can detect us while here.""Does this cost mana to maintain?" I asked."No. I used a coin as a catalyst this time so from my guess, this space would last us for two hours. Once the timer runs out, we are immediately sent back to the real world and kicked out from this dimension.""So how does this place works?""We should discuss this while we are surveying the place shall we?"Everyone nodded. I also nodded since we shouldn't waste our precious time talking for now. While walking, Asuza started talking about the function of this place to me."As I said earlier, this place is the spatial counterpart of the real world. We might be able to detect and interact with the people and objects on the other side but they can't see and hear us in this place unless they can bend spatial space easily which is what I would say to be one of the hardest to do. Since we are basically a secret, we can easily check out the crime scene without tampering the original place but we can get info in the real world if we managed to get one out.""So in other words, this is something to use whenever we are trying to infiltrate a place to check out advance infiltration without getting the risk of being discovered, correct?" I said."Not bad Kazuma. This is something many magicians working undercover in the police department uses to solve problems and to check whether some intel are real or bogus before they can barge into a room or a house like an FBI. I happen to know one because I was made an undercover once from  a certain quest so this ability was very necessary and now it gets handy."Before we can continue to discuss, one of the guards stopped us."Shh, someone is in the corridor."Every one of us started to get serious. It is rather rare for someone to be in this place after everyone is sent home. The clubs were also prohibited to do the practices today so it was impossible to be the club members. There is one thing to say, these people might be someone just hanging out in this school or one of the people responsible for this awakening phenomenon.We started looking at who was this person and we saw a student wearing a uniform and carrying a bamboo sword on his hands. Nothing seems ordinary at first but because I am now more vigilant, I activated Mana Scan and suddenly realized it"That guy is the awakened one! The mana spill found in the club room is similar to the mana flowing in his body!"Everyone nodded and they quickly move towards the young man to make sure we can see who he was. The guards also encircled him. Of course, since we are in the other dimension, he didn't notice us in a slight bit. I also approached him and realized that he was one of those new faces I saw inside my classroom. I never expected him to be an awakened one since he just looked normal except that he looked always gloomy. From what I can remember, his name is Kamui Sasami.It was pretty obvious which is his weapon of choice, the bamboo sword he is carrying is the murder weapon. Besides, the tip on the sword is filled on a bit of blood so this was immediately the murder weapon."From the looks of it, he already managed to stabilize his mana and can now properly use his mana whenever he likes. However, what is this guy doing here? Isn't he going to the art club room?" I said as I pointed into the end of the hallway which is the club room for the art club.Ryoji made his move and quickly run towards the club room. I also did the same and dashed with the help of [Agility] magic.As soon as Ryoji opened the door, we saw two people tied up in the ceiling. One of them is a girl with a few of her clothes torn and a guy who seemed to be injured. He is gasping and he looks like he was in pain. The two are tied up in a rope but they are not tied in a simple pillar. They are hanging in their arms from the ceiling. It was liked they are used for decorations. Luckily, they are still alive."Sh*t, the new awakened is a crazed student! We need to apprehend him immediately before we can see a casualty in the civilians!" Ryoji said.The others quickly peeked in and saw the two hanging students."Quick! We need to deal with the awakened one! We can't let civilian lives get in danger!" Ryoji shouted as he pulls out his gun and started chanting. Asuza snaps her fingers and quickly shouted."Terminate!"As soon as she shouted that, the whole place started to darken and everything returned to normal. Still, we didn't return to the classroom but we returned to the field."Everyone, let's before he can do something that we might get to see too late!"
