Shooting lightning from her fingers in a gun-like manner. She aid at the switch.
Tzzz!
The office went dark at the action.
"Great! Now that's spoiled." Mr. Gaviel said bitterly.
"Watch!" She whispered in the darkness.
Slowly the pendant began to glow, tiny sparks twitched on the thunderbolt.
"Oh my!" Mr. Gaviel held onto the desk behind him.
Snapping her fingers, a wave of electricity spread out.
The flickering lights continued in that way until they stabilized.
"Who needs a switch when I'm present?!" Lumina prided in her gift, raising her chin.
Nix cleared his throat, shaking his head at the quick switch in conversation Lumina presented.
"Where did you get that?!" Mr. Gaviel persisted, his eyes glued to the pendant.
'Talk about persistence.' Lumina pushed her lips to the right in a pout.
The hypocrisy was sickening. Although he couldn't answer her questions the main ti because of that pendant, she could answer him without any limitations.
"I was given," she looked at the pendant fondly. "After what you had said, now I don't know if this was a gift."
"What do you an?" Nix pulled on her shoulder, snatching the pendant from her fingers.
Needing answers, he wasn't going to release it until she answered him to the littlest details.
"Mr. Zhao had given that pendant as a gift, saying it reminded him of my gift." She laughed at how stupid that sounded to her now.
Nix stared at the pendant, his anger climbing up levels as he pieced the information together.
"He tried to use this to get to you!" Nix deduced with a growl.
"I loved the design, it reminded of my gift." Lumina laughed at her view on the pendant.
Considering its true capabilities of it, she was glad she had the mindset of wearing it only when she had gotten to the organization.
She had always loved the teardrop design on Mr. Zhao's pendant.
"I had not expected Zhao to be so fast and cunning." Mr. Gaviel facepald.
Even though Fegan had not been present for years, there was a way of getting another way to make more of the cursed pendants?
This thought shook the perfect balance he had created in his head. He had originally thought that if Fegan wasn't present anymore, there would be no way of recruiting more to do their bidding.
This had made him think that was why it was harder to recruit more from the academy.
Before Fegan's defection, they were with a restricted number of cursed pendants and he had rembered clearly the one Lumina had shown wasn't one of the limited ones.
'How?! Just how is this possible?' He wondered, confused by the secrets that the organization branched on.
"Have you worn it?" Mr. Gaviel queried.
Shaking her head to his question, she grinned widely at the close shave she had with falling for such a trap.
"As much as I love jewelry, the pendant wouldn't go well with my choices,"
"Good, good!" Mr. Gaviel nodded his head, letting out a sigh of relief.
Nix gritted his teeth, feeling he had been of no help when this had happened.
"When was this given?" Nix interjected.
"The day after you had dealt a blow on that creepy statue."
'It's been that long?' He looked down sadly at the pendant.
"Never wear this, if you want to be in control of your life." Mr. Gaviel warned.
Pacing around in the enclosed field, he rubbed his chin as he thought about what was the next line of action.
"Nix," he said, finally thinking of one.
When he was sure he had gotten the attention of Nix, he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Rember when I said you should promise to protect those dear to you. Things are about to change and I hope you maintain what you have currently."
Nix furrowed his brows, his words almost sounded like he was about to do sothing he would regret.
"Sothing tells whatever you are about to do involves so of us and the organization."
Mr. Gaviel nodded his head, "I was right, you are smart."
Eyes locked on the piece of paper in Mr. Gaviel's hand, he began to understand what was going to happen.
"When is it?" Nix asked, pointing at the paper in Mr. Gaviel's hand.
"In two days was all I was given. I had not wanted this for any of you, but it's out of my control." He replied, looking away from the hard glare of Nix.
'A straight-up ticket to the organization?!' Nix's brow twitched, trying to contain his emotions.
"Hahaha!" Nix burst out in a peal of laughter.
This reaction was unexpected by Mr. Gaviel, wondering if the overwhelming emotion had gotten the best of his mind.
"Nix, are you alright?!" Mr. Gaviel called out to him, "this is an unpredictable organization we are talking about, filled with lots of secrets and not for the faint-hearted."
Nix's jolly mood was ruined by those words and a frown imdiately replaced.
"Do you think that's not what I want all along?" He pointed out.
"Who would have thought this opportunity would present itself so quickly." He muttered to himself but enough for the others to hear.
"You've been waiting for this opportunity?!" Mr. Gaviel's mouth gaped open in shock.
This would be the first ti soone would be so enthusiastic about getting into the organization even knowing the vile practices going on there.
"Well, that makes the two of us." Lumina timidly cut in, coughing and scratching the back of her head.
Nix looked at her with a smile, he understood what prompted her to desire to join the organization.
"What the hell?" Mr. Gaviel exclaid, his eyes darting from Nix to Lumina in disbelief.
"You two can't be serious! Even after what I had said?!" He tried to appeal to reason.
All it took was refusing to join the organization when their nas were called. That would make his conscience at peace with himself.
"As you have your secrets, I have mine that's best not known to you," Nix said with a smirk.
"What are the other nas on the list?" He nodded in the direction of the paper.
