The four of them had left the room, and there were more guards that belonged to the academy escorting them. It seed like they were staying by their side to make sure that they left the main building of the academy and didn't wander anywhere else.
When they finally exited the building and were on the large courtyard, the whole place felt quieter than usual. There was next to no talking, and the sound of the wind could be heard cutting through the air.
"I guess it's true there is a break going on. Did most people decide to go ho?" Simyon asked. "Well, I guess until the break is over, we're still Blue headbands, so we should just head back to the sleeping quarters and stay there."
Just as Simyon was about to turn and make his way through, he crashed his head into sothing solid. Usually, it was others who would crash into him and feel like they had walked into a wall, but now it was his turn.
"Pink?" Simyon said, rubbing his head.
"Hey, those two people that are eting with Raze right now, who are they? How does he know them? You've been with him for a while, right?" Da asked.
He would have asked the sister, but since she wasn't really able to speak, he thought he would ask soone else who would be able to get answers more clearly.
"Oh, that. I've never really seen them before. Maybe they were impressed by Raze's skills and want to ask him about how he learned his skills and such," Simyon smiled and was about to head toward the sleeping quarters.
That was until he felt a hand grab his shoulder. Imdiately, Da started to dig his fingers into the wound that was created, causing Simyon to scream out in pain.
"Arghh!" Simyon yelled. He wanted to curl up and fall onto the floor, but Da's grip was so strong that he was being lifted into the air.
'Ah crap, I knew there was sothing up with this guy that Raze t. He seems nice, but the entire ti, he's scared even more than those damn disciple leaders! Is he going to kill ?' Simyon thought.
Imdiately seeing this, Safa had gone to strike, but before she could, Da had lifted up his foot and slamd it onto the ground. A wave of Qi went out and had practically pushed Safa backwards, causing her to fall on the ground and her backside to skid across the floor.
'Freaking hell!' Liam thought seeing it. 'Isn't that… isn't that the sa move that Raze used as well, with the stomp, but look how strong it was. How much Qi does this guy have, and what is going on? I thought we were all friends and on the sa side.'
Simyon continued to scream in pain, and as he did, he decided to say at least sothing. Otherwise, he was afraid this person would go for Safa next, and while Raze was injured, he couldn't do much either.
"They're from Alter!" Simyon answered. "That's all I know. They're a group that visited us once before from Alter, and they are here as well."
Having gotten an answer, Da let go of Simyon, dropping him to the floor.
"Who is Alter?" Da asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Wait, what?" Liam said, surprised. "You don't know who Alter is? Even I know who they are."
It was strange, even Simyon thought so. This person, although he didn't know his background, was soone who was strong and from the Dark Faction. Surely their clan would have known about Alter. They were an organization nearly all the top clans knew about in the Dark Faction. So why didn't Pink know about them?

Back inside the room, Himmy and Charlotte had both greeted Raze with a polite little bow toward him.
"It hasn't been too long since we last saw you, kid," Himmy comnted. "You managed to put on quite the show for us. I have to admit it was quite entertaining."
"Yeah! You managed to catch onto this Pagna stuff really well. Everyone is calling you the star of the Dark Faction. You could actually really beco sothing!" Charlotte said with a smile.
Raze wasn't flattered by the comnts at all. Instead, he had an extrely uninterested look on his face. He desperately wanted to unlock the seal on the soldier statue, but just like last ti, if it was a high-level item, there was a good chance that it would unlock a portal. If that was the case, he would rather do it when these guys weren't here.
"So why have you visited? Does Alter have a task for ?" Raze asked.
"No, don't be silly," Charlotte said, waving her hand about like it was a stupid question to ask. "We had a job that was not too far from here, and I rembered you said you were going to join the Pagna Academy, so I wanted to see your progress here, that's all, and see if you had any problems settling into this new world. It can be hard after all, especially learning the language and words."
Raze didn't reply straight away because he thought of sothing that happened during his ti at the academy that was strange. If they weren't here to give him a job and were just here to see him, then what about that ti?
"Would you happen to know if Alter tried to contact ?" Raze asked.
"Contact you?" Himmy replied. "That shouldn't be the case. I haven't been inford of us needing any field agents in the academy itself. Usually, only then, a squad leader like myself would make contact, asking for the field agent's help. Or, as I said before, if you felt there was the need to report sothing, you could try to seek us out in certain ways. Co to think of it, I didn't even tell you how."
Himmy started to laugh, but Raze felt like it was no laughing matter.
"So are you saying that it's impossible for soone to know that I was in Alter, other than you two?" Raze asked.
"Well, not impossible," Himmy replied. "But other field agents wouldn't know about you. As far as I know, there isn't anyone that is squad leader level in the academy. Although if soone was even above , then I wouldn't know either, and they possibly would know."
Although that could be the reason behind the letter, Raze just didn't feel like it was the case. Why leave a letter to et up, and then never make contact again? The person was clearly trying to hide their identity from him, and would a person in such a high position do that?
"I see. Well, is there anything else you need from ?" Raze asked, leaving it at that. He didn't want Alter to get involved and wanted them to leave as soon as possible.
"No, that's it," Himmy replied.
Shortly after Raze had left the room, when he did, Charlotte had imdiately turned around.
"I thought you were going to ask him to be promoted from a field agent to an official mber?" Charlotte asked.
"Couldn't you tell?" Himmy replied. "Soone knows about him here, and there's a good chance that it isn't Alter... maybe we should have told him about that group.
Maybe we should stay in the academy for a few days. Who knows, the kid might be good bait."
