Inhuman Warlock

589 Chapter 589: Call your teacher

"What is this place?" Lucifer asked the man before him. "Where are we?"

"Y-you don't know? You entered this place. Are you seriously trying to say you don't know where you are?" Gwan asked, frowning.

Lucifer tightened his grip. "I don't like waiting for answers."

"You... Fine! You're in Atlantis, inside the Royal Northern Academy examination grounds!" Gwan responded.

"Atlantis?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "So that was the name of a place?"

"Why are you talking like that? You don't even know Atlantis? Where exactly are you from?"

"Are we in Continent of Triton?" Lucifer asked. "How do we get out of Atlantis? And in which direction is Triton?"

"Triton? I heard that name before. It's a continent on land. So you're from Triton. How did you get here?" Gwan asked. "The way you talk, I think you might actually be here because of an accident. I can take you to our teacher. She would be able to help you?"

"That is right. If it were actually an accident, our teacher would be able to help you out. Let us take you to them. In fact, the incharge of the examination is his father. He can also get you an audience with him!" Aaron agreed.

Since these people weren't here to harm them, he also eased up. He added. "But first, you'll have to free him."

"Something doesn't make sense. If this is an exam hall, why isn't there an exit? No doors here. How do you leave? And what kind of exam is it? Who is overseeing it? And if someone is actually overseeing it, why aren't they here yet?" Salazar asked.

"It's an automated exam. The AI will observe our battle and grade us accordingly," Gwan replied.

"AI?" Salazar muttered. "You mean artificial intelligence?"

"Yeah." Aaron touched his gloves, calling the same lady's hologram as before. "Introduce yourself to the guests."

The hologram lady looked at Salazar. "Greetings. I am Ai, you can call me by any name you prefer. I am the guardian, guide, and observer of the students here."

She didn't stop there. "After scanning you, it appears that you aren't calm. Your heartbeat is slightly faster than ordinary. Should I arrange a medical room for you?"

"Hmm? You could even see that?" Salazar asked, surprised.

This was always the case with him. When he slowed down time or used his ability, his heartbeat grew fast. It wasn't something new. It wasn't harmful to him either. Still, he was surprised to see the lady notice him.

Ai turned to Lucifer and observed him as well. "After scanning you, it seems that you are angry and sad. Should I play calming music for you?"

"A holographic AI that can scan us? Automated examination hall? This place... Just what is it?" Salazar muttered, rubbing his chin. "Looks pretty advanced."

"Call your teacher here," Lucifer commanded the youngster in his grasp. "Since this is such an advanced place, I don't think it'll be hard for you to bring her here."

"Can you put me down first? I'm having trouble breathing."

"Not before you bring your teacher here and lead me out of this place," Lucifer responded.

"So you're taking me hostage?" Gwan asked.

"You can think of it that way," Lucifer lazily stated.

"You have ten minutes to call your teacher here. If she doesn't come, I'll twist your neck and leave this place myself. So avoid all the damage and invite her here."

"I'll call her here!" Gwan didn't resist for long. For him, Lucifer looked like a crazy person. Moreover, he was a Summoner. He couldn't hurt Lucifer without calling his beast.

On the contrary, Aaron was a warrior, but he was stopped by Salazar. Moreover, there was another lady here on the side of enemies. He knew they weren't safe here. He decided to listen. Furthermore, he had faith that after his teacher got here, she could help them more.

Unlike them, the teacher was stronger and more capable.

"Good kid. Don't tell her about us. We want her to come alone." Salazar chimed in.

"That won't be possible. Everything that happens in this room is being recorded. As soon as I contact her, she'll check the footage of this room. It can't be kept a secret," Gwan responded.

Lucifer let out a mouthful of breath, shaking his head. "Whatever, just get her here! I don't care anymore."

Moreover, he actually freed the boy this time, getting tired of holding him. The boy wasn't entirely free, though.

Some Lightning bolts came around him, trapping him in the prison of black lightning. Unlike the prison of the Phoenix, this prison did have some openings so Lucifer could see Gwan and talk to him.

In any case, he was sure that Gwan couldn't become smaller to escape.

He turned to look at Aaron, who was standing at the edge of Salazar's swords. Some Lightning bolts also appeared around him, trapping him in a similar prison.

Salazar also lowered his Sword.

Aaron observed the prison, frowning. He wasn't sure how strong Prison was, but he didn't try to break it. Even though he could break it, he still had to face these two men. It was better to wait for their teachers to get here. They could teach with them alone.

Gwan called Ai through his gloves. "Ai, contact teacher."

"Establishing Contact. Contact rejected. Your teacher is in an important meeting with the other teachers."

"Ai, inform the teacher that it's something really important! Tell her to contact me fast!" Gwan commanded.

"Sending a message..."

"Message sent successfully."

...

Inside the massive academy that covered a long area, there existed a meeting room. Inside the meeting room, all the teachers were sitting, talking about the upcoming examinations.

Amongst the twenty teachers, there was one lady who was sitting on the left side.

She was also dressed in white. There were two white gloves in her hand. One of them was vibrating intentionally as someone was calling her.

She tapped the glove twice, rejecting the call. The gloves, however, vibrated once again, but this time it also revealed a message on its surface.

The lady looked down, reading the message on some gloves.

"Jane, am I boring you?" A middle-aged man asked, observing the lady looking down.

"Ah, N-not at all. I just got a message from a student. There seems to be a problem. I need to excuse myself for a bit. I am really sorry." The violet-haired lady responded.

"It's alright. We're almost done with the important matters anyway." The white-haired man in the main chair answered. "You can leave."

"Thank you, sir." The lady stood up and left the room.

After leaving the room, she tapped the glove. "Ai, contact Gwan."
