Footsteps sounded as the others finally reached Sirius. Seeing the destruction in the hallway, Aella and Tim looked at each other and nodded. They understood what had happened over here and seeing Sirius standing at the other end of the hallway, they knew that something had gone wrong for sure.

They ran up to him and asked, "What happened?"

"That as*hole ran away," Sirius spat in anger as he turned around and canceled his transformation. The fur receded and the bones sticking out of his elbows also receded.

"What happened?" Asked Aella. She was quite surprised by the fact that the assassin had gotten away from Sirius. After all, Sirius was strong, and even if the assassin was stronger than Sirius; she had enough trust in him to hold back the assassin for a long time.

"That person can also use dark powers. However, his powers are a little strange. They are more oriented towards hiding and a bushing," Answered Sirius. The frown on his face remained while he tried to figure out ways to deal with the assassin when they met later.

"Okay," Aella nodded.

"Hey Sirius, why stand here? Let\'s go after the assassin," Tim hopped in and suggested.

"Leave it, Tim. Let\'s take a rest," Sirius just shook his head and denied. Walking back to the area where the battle took place, Sirius squatted down and looked for the assassin\'s blood that had fallen earlier.

While Sirius did that, Aella and Tim instructed the rest of the team to stay vigilant. The periphery was guarded as the entrance to the hallway was also blocked by them.

Right now, they understood from Sirius\'s reaction that he was not to be disturbed.

A few minutes later,

Sirius finally stood up with a smile on his face. He had grasped something from the blood and now, he was ready for round two.

He transformed yet again as his vision changed. He looked into the corridor and raised his hands. Shadows surged around him as the shadow wolves were called back to him.

He contained the shadows as the shadow armor formed over him again. Walking to the end of the hallway, his claws grew as Sirius disappeared.

He appeared a few meters away and slashed at the roof, "Spurtt,"

Blood spilled as the wind blew by and the assassin appeared behind Sirius. The dagger in his hand gleamed with a dangerous light as it slashed in an arc and pierced through Sirius\'s back.

"Awoooo!!" Sirius howled in pain and turned to look at the assassin. He saw the assassin grinning at him with a cunning light in his eyes.

That was when Sirius realized. It was the assassin\'s plan all along. The assassin played weak and ran away on purpose. All just so he could fool Sirius and then seize the chance to attack him.

Well, one attack couldn\'t do much to Sirius as the wound regenerated at the speed visible to the naked eye but the assassin didn\'t care.

He had grasped the way Sirius fought and was sure to defeat the wolf. Also, since both of them used darkness magic, most of their spells and abilities didn\'t work on each other.

On the other hand,

Tim and Aella activated their abilities right away. They had been alert ever since and seeing the battle start, they had gotten ready to attack at any moment. They just waited for Sirius to signal them and that happened when Sirius just howled.

Sirius had previously informed them using the mental transference technique that he would howl as a way to signal them. Therefore, when the assassin thought that Sirius merely howled in pain and anguish, well he was not entirely correct.

Although Sirius felt pain, it was nothing to him. He had felt much more pain from much deeper and threatening wounds. Therefore, he just howled to call some backup.

After all, Sirius wasn\'t arrogant enough to believe that he would be able to defeat the assassin himself. The gap between them was too great and he wasn\'t Ray who could transform himself using some strange ability to harness greater strength from his bloodline.

Not only that, but Sirius was sure that even those present over here couldn\'t handle the situation. He had to call the big gun and it was Ray.

He had to inform Ray of everything and for that, he needed the others to keep the assassin busy.

"Swooshh," Tim and Aella appeared like the wind as they stood in front of Sirius. They knew what they had to do and they started to do so right away.

Along with them, the rest of the team appeared as well. John stood behind Sirius and protected him from any sort of ambush.

"John, join both of them and keep the assassin busy. Don\'t worry about me," Sirius said.

John just nodded. He knew that Sirius was the leader and that the leader\'s words were law.

Sirius raised his hands. Along with his hands, the shadows around them surged as Sirius used his ability,

[Shadow Travel],

This allowed him to use the shadows and move anywhere he needed through the shadows. Though it consumed a lot of energy and if the shadow he traveled in was attacked or dismissed, Sirius would suffer a great setback.

The shadows engulfed him as he disappeared. Appearing a few meter back, Sirius accessed his spatial storage and took out his academy badge.

He tapped the badge thrice as a small hologram popped out of it. He scored through the hologram and pressed on a small icon similar to a dialer. He called Ray through it.

The academy badge; after being modified by Noah had changed a lot. New functions were unlocked and it acted more like a cell phone now. Though, it didn\'t need electrical energy to operate as it worked on the user\'s mana.

Meanwhile,

Ray had just returned from the long and exciting speech he just gave.

"I wonder how Sirius and the rest are doing. They must have found the assassin by now," Ray wondered as he walked to his room.

Suddenly, his consciousness was stirred as he felt something calling out to him. Knowing that it was the modified academy badge, he accessed his spatial storage and saw the badge beeping lightly.

It was Sirius\'s call.

"Finally," He thought in excitement and accepted the call.

"What happened?" Asked Ray.

"Well, nothing much. Turns out that the assassin is stronger than us. He is in the pseudo-calamity realm and seems to have a lot of tricks up his sleeve," Sirius told him rather unhurriedly. The way he talked and the calmness of his voice suggested that he called from his couch in his home rather than doing so while in the middle of a battle.

"So you need my help?" Asked Ray.

"Is that a question or are you telling me that?" Sirius asked rather seriously.

"Okay.. okay. Don\'t get angry. I was just kidding, I will be there right away," Ray laughed and cut the call.

He was trying to ease the mood but it seemed that Sirius took it to heart. Well, he knew that even Sirius wasn\'t serious.

He looked at his badge and saw Sirius\'s coordinates. Sirius was only a few minutes away from him if he hurried.

"Well, let\'s have some fun. It has been some time since I had any action," He grinned and cracked his knuckles in excitement.

The wind was stirred as Ray disappeared from where he stood. He knew that it would take only a few minutes for him to settle everything. Therefore, he didn\'t inform anyone and just went on.

While Ray went on to the location,

In the corridor where Hailey had stopped previously. She was still in her place and the only difference was that instead of the usual nonchalant and proud expression, her face was livid.

There was a small piece of glass in her hand and through it, she observed the whole fight that had occurred between Sirius and the assassin.

"Just how did he find him?" She thought. She was sure that Sirius wouldn\'t be able to find the assassin anytime soon. After all, she was the one who had tipped the assassin with all the information.

"Seems like the wolf is not just brute strength," She muttered and stood up.

She had to participate in the battle along with Sirius. After all, if the assassin was caught and spilled everything while she was not even there. Suspicions might pile up on her and she might even get interrogated.

Therefore, she knew that she had to do one thing for sure and it was to silence the assassin forever. As for how she would do it, she had an idea about it.

She stood up gracefully and turned to look at those who had stayed behind with her.

"Let\'s go. The assassin has been found. They need our help," She spoke. Lifting her feet in the air, her clothes fluttered as she disappeared into thin air.

The others looked at the place she stood previously in a trance. It seemed as if she was nothing but an illusion that had vanished into thin air.

In their hearts, a small seed was placed as they heard someone whisper in their ears. The whisper was alluring as it plucked the strings of their heart. They felt compelled to do everything it told them to and right now, it told them to follow a route and join the rest of the team in battle.

It also told them to keep quiet and pledge loyalty to the woman they just saw disappear. They still retained their thoughts and interests but it was just that they were now influenced greatly by the whisper.

As for what the whisper was, it was Hailey\'s ability. It was called The Seed Of Mind And Heart. It allowed her to plant seeds into people\'s hearts and minds and influence them greatly to do her bidding.
