The city guard captain looked at the rest of the room and said.

"A few more students are attacked in the Norse region. From various academies. However, once again there are two people from Thor Academy.

The attack pattern is extremely similar to the one before.

"

This cause everyone to frown. They looked at Sam who is right in front of them. And one call clearly made them be sure of the other four suspects. Then how could an attack of the same pattern happen?

"We need more details.

"

Bloody Chariot stood up and spoke. He gave a courtesy goodbye before leaving the room. He went straight to the City guard office and for the first time, he flew. The city guard captain and the Elders from the Norse also followed. They arrived at the city guard. The deputy of the city guard is still in a call with the City guard branch of the Norse. They are gathering more details.

"What is the status?

"

"Four murders and four different people. All of them wore masks just like the case before. Apparently, the metal puppets came back and destroyed the dorm area once again.

"

After getting that answer, the group started feeling a bit troubled. They could sense that something big is happening and they are unclear of things.

Bloody Chariot looked at Gungnir.

"Use the space gate and get your people to bring those videos over. These bird puppets… I wonder why they are pulling such an act after their hosts are dead…

"

He then turned to the Elder from his own academy and said.

"I want the status on all the Grade 1 students. I am pretty sure, you have a record of people who went into the pocket dimensions. I want you to locate every student that didn't go to the pocket dimension.

I want the report this instant.

"

He walked out.

For the first time, he had a truly serious expression on his face.

After around half an hour later, a few people from the Norse Academies came with the video copies. They were presented in front of Bloody Chariot.

He started examining the videos and his gaze became a bit peculiar. Just like the first batch of crimes, these second batch of crimes also happened to showcase the same similarities. The four suspects of this second batch, also have different elements, different fighting styles and different levels of strength.

However, he could sense that similarity. It is almost like the same person did all four murders once again.

The only point is that he felt like the person that did the first four murders is not the same as the person who did the second four.

This made it much more complicated.

By the time he ended the examination of the videos, someone came with the details regarding the location of the students.

There are a lot of people in the pocket dimensions, however there is no short of people who stayed back. However, most of their locations are unknown. They don't know exactly where these people went.

This is actually a pretty normal practice.

Bloody Chariot sorted the list of the students that are in unknown locations. He called for the instructors in the Academy and arranged a meeting.

"I want you to find out when was the last time these people are spotted and where is their possible destination after they left the Zeus academy. I want these answers as soon as possible.

"

The instructors didn't even reply anything and left to do the task in hurry.

Bloody chariot's attention once again went back to Sam. But he didn't go back there to question him. He knew that he cannot push on Sam's side too much without proper evidence.

And anyway, the second incident happen right when Sam is in front of them. There is no proper reason to even suspect him.

Bloody Chariot felt a bit exasperated.

He then asked a few more questions and finally found where the suspended Dean is currently staying at.

The Dean is still in the Olympian region. In the same inn. He is just staying there. The reason for it… it is to act as a deterrence for the other academies. He knew that he is the only thing that is keeping other academies to target Dayus and snatching the legacy inheritance that they acquired.

That is why he stayed behind.

He also believed that the coin shortage would have shown a much more adverse effect on the Zeus Academy if not for his presence. They will just become an open target.

Even now the students of Zeus Academy are open targets to other academies, however the moves made on them are being done with trickery and treachery. However, if there is no deterrence, others will open devour the students and their resources.

The Dean of Zeus Academy knew that he couldn't openly interfere, he will be subjected to the Academy realm's laws. The stronger you are, the stricter the laws are and he is already under the scrutiny of the Judicial system.

That is why, he is staying put waiting for his 12 labors to end.

He already did one of them and now he is waiting for the second.

When Bloody Chariot arrived at his room, the Dean welcomed him inside with a warm smile.

"Long time no see, Senior.

" He bowed deeply while greeting Bloody Chariot.

"Stop it kiddo. You are the Dean of the Zeus Academy. You shouldn't bow just like that. I am just a Grand elder.

" Bloody Chariot smiled and hugged the Dean.

They sat down and Bloody Chariot asked.

"So, what brought you out, Senior? It must have been a big trouble since you came out.

"

"It is indeed a big trouble, kiddo. The academy is being targeted.

"

"I know that, it is just that I am not clear of the details. Do you think all these things are related to each other?

" Bloody Chariot asked.

"I don't know, if they are related. However, I have a hard time believing that they are not connected. The Hub, the flaming skulls and the youngster named Sam… particularly that Youngster, ever since he came the whole Academy realm is in a mess.

He stirred up trouble in every academy possible. You could say, he is the starting point of the troubles. And he is linked to the guy named Ivar in the Norse region. And Ivar and Icarus are friends. Also, there is my case…

If the flaming skulls, the hub and the managers of the hub, and all the other troubles are not related together, then that guy named Sam might just be the converging point.

He might just be the factor that is making all these move together. Otherwise, there is no way, we are pushed to this extent.

"

"So, this guy named Sam… does he have a grudge against the Zeus Academy?

"

Dean hesitated. Because, he doesn't have the permission to share the information regarding the game of gods. Only the deans have the authority to know. He pursed his lips and said.

"There is a probable reason for him to hate not just the Zeus Academy, but all of the Olympian academies. I can only reveal you that much.

"

"Seems like Zeus has interfered. What is it this time? Did he lose control and have another child? Did this kid happen to be Zeus' kid that started hating his father?

" Bloody Chariot asked with a serious expression. It seems like he is indeed serious about the question.

"No, certainly not. I am sure of it. He should be a human by birth. However, he does seem to have some special blessing from Gambler. That is all I can say.

" Dean spoke carefully. Making sure that he doesn't reveal anything that he shouldn't.

"Alright, just tell me what happened, ever since he came. Also, what is up with the hub? I heard there is a coin shortage because of it. This is the second time I have seen the exchange center being closed.

The first time it was during the Academy war and the second time is now.

What is the deal?

"

"Well…

" Dean started narrating the whole tale. Bloody Chariot sighed in exhaustion just for listening to this.

"There is no doubt, there is certainly a hand behind all these elements. Someone with a deep grudge against the Zeus Academy is running the show and guiding it behind. We need to be careful. I will try to settle it down.

As for the situation with Theron… how do you want to handle it? Even I can't do much when it comes to him. It will most definitely end in battle and it won't be good for anyone.

"

"I don't know. I do have a way to make the case a bit diverted. After all, Theron doesn't have any relations with the Academy realm now, so, I can just pin the blame a bit on him and finish the twelve labors.

I just need to make sure that it doesn't piss him off.

"
