Chapter 436 Escape the Academy (Part 1)

?Inside the Red Headband base on the second floor, all of the students were gathered in a single room. They had somewhat formed a plan for what was to happen next after finding out that the portal was closed.

A contingency plan was needed if Raze never returned. Otherwise, all of them would be in major trouble.

In their minds, they were thinking things would be okay. They were the ones that were attacked by the Lethal Bite Clan. They hadn't done anything wrong.

Staying in the room though, Cronker had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the group again. He then looked out of the window.

There was a group of those with masks on their faces coming toward them, and they appeared to be talking to the current guards that were looking after them inside.

"It appears we have a problem, from the way they are acting they have found something out," Cronker said.

"This isn't good, it's as I thought," Dame said as he headed to the door in front of him.

"Listen up everyone, remember what I said, the best place to head to is the forest. Right by the edge of the furthest side there is the fog, if you head down there, there should be a cave and from there we can decide what to do," Dame stated.

"It seems that something must have happened to Raze, and this whole situation might have blown before it even started.

"It's up to you what you want to do, you can either follow me now out of this place, or stay here. You guys should be fine.

"If you stay, you don't have a lot to worry about. Even if the Academy runs an investigation, nothing that happened was your fault in the first place.

"And if they need a person to blame, then you can blame me. Say that Dame Narfous, from the Demonic Faction, the Neverfall Clan was the one that forced you."

At that moment, Dame removed the mask from his face revealing to all in that room who he was. Many had seen his face before, but they had no clue about that name.

Hearing it though, Mada and Ricktor couldn't help but click their tongues. Now they realized why this student was so young.

"That family name, are you related to the head of the Neverfall Clan?" Ricktor asked.

"I am, but I am no longer aligned with them and just with Raze, anyway, I have given you a scapegoat, the rest is up to you."

Out of all of them there, Dame was the only one if he was caught it would cause a lot of trouble. So no matter what, right now he had to make a move.

Lifting his arm up, the black gauntlet started to slowly appear. Then, gathering his Qi, he took a step forward, and burst into the door.

Dame's entire hand had gone through the door, and when he pulled it forward, the door was ripped off its hinge and on the other side was one of the guards that was covering the door.

Dame's hand had gone through his body as well. Swinging his hand, the door and the man were chucked to the side, and he was quick to move into the hallway, getting rid of the others as well.

Safa was ready to move, and went ahead, so did Liam, but Simyon quickly grabbed Safa's hand.

"Hey, he's giving us a chance to just carry on at the academy, I'm not so sure, if we should just follow him," Simyon whispered.

The sound of fighting was going on outside, Dame was clearly making a mess, and Tinson and his group had decided to follow Dame.

They had a hatred for the academy to the point they couldn't even live normal lives. They were scared with every assessment something would happen to them since at two of the assessments that very thing had occurred.

Following along was Ricktor and Liam, and Mada had hesitated for a few moments but had decided to follow Ricktor as well.

It was to the point that the only two that were in the room were Safa and Simyon.

"What are you talking about Simyon, Dame has been with us for a while now, he's helped us out time and time again, and we need to help him out now as well, if Raze was here he would do the same thing," Safa stated.

Simyon had let go of Safa's hand, but he couldn't stop thinking about what he had seen. He was sure of it, Dame was the one responsible for the student's death that had started the whole infighting below.

Sure, Raze had done some Dark things before, but there was always a reason behind it. He would never just act out like so for no reason.

It made him wonder if Raze knew the truth would he still be working with Dame.

"Look it's hard to explain but…"

Just then, straight from the window, a masked warrior had come crashing through.

"It looks like the students are trying to escape!" The man drew his sword, but at the same time coming from the side with a dagger was Cronker.

It had sliced right under his neck, killing the other warrior in one blow.

"I understand your concerns, but the world of Pagna warriors is more complex than you could imagine. As you get older you see certain things more and more," Cronker explained. "But I can tell you one thing.

"Out of those from the Neverfall Clan, Dame is not one of the bad ones. He may do things that seem like they are a little too far, but trust me, he sees you as on his side.

"If he wanted to escape this place on his own, he could have done it long ago, but he knows the position some of you are in.

"So he is taking responsibility. Now decide, as I promised I would protect you."

Safa looked into Simyon's eyes. After hearing these words, he was a bit more convinced and nodded and the two of them were off.

The entire group was traveling but it felt strange to them because they were traveling right toward the main academy. Where their attacks were coming from.

With Cronker, Dame, and Ricktor, the three of them had managed to get rid of most of the guards that had been sent. So there would be a delay in the reports.

They had a small window before the principal found out. They needed to get out of the area as quickly as they could.

When they were just about in front of the academy, they were getting ready to jump up on the walls, and head to the back of it as quickly as possible, but the walls were high.

Dame could scale them quickly and so could Cronker, but not the rest of them with their skills.

That was until there was one person standing in front of the academy.

"What are you doing here," Mada said, gritting his teeth as the entire group stopped.

"What do you think I'm doing, I'm helping my brother get out of here, before he gets himself killed. All of you, follow me," Gunther ordered.
