Chapter 313: Chapter 313

“Okay, let’s take a look at your containers.” after drawing some blood samples from Caroline and Jason, Professor Kapur nodded and said: “I gotta say, your blood samples are pretty full of life force. This is mostly seen from some of the top students from the Hellbruck House, those who are on the paths of knights, assassins and other close quarter combat focused fighting styles.”

 

“Thank you - we did some pretty intense body tempering during our training.” Caroline smiled and said: “So the blood samples - what would they do?”

 

“If I’m right, they’re going to serve as proof that you are not subject to the exposure to the toxic material, and that you have not taken antidotes to them.” Professor Kapur answered: “The academy administration is suspecting that you brought the toxic material contaminants in here. And if that were true, you would very likely have substances from your body indicating prolonged exposure to them. And since you’ve never shown any symptoms of exposure, the lack of residual antidote to those toxins in your blood would serve as evidence for your innocence.”

 

“So, there is the presumption of guilt huh?” Jason asked and handed his clay bottle to Professor Kapur.

 

“Well, it’s not that bad, but it’s not totally based on the presumption of innocence either.” Professor Kapur sighed: “I know what you’re thinking, the legal system is a bit different from that of the civilian world. It’s much harder to track down criminals when magic’s in play. And you could also thank the serial killer you wrote that thesis on, the hunt for that killer, or THOSE KILLERS, since no one really caught them, really contributed to how things like this kind of hearings and inquiries work.”

 

“Yeesh.” Jason shook his head, while Caroline shrugged.

 

“I remember Thomas mentioning that. ” Caroline sighed and said: “So… do you know what we will need to prepare? Ms. Wong might have told you that we’re from a civilian background. And even in the civilian world, we’ve never - well, I believe Jason’s never dealt with this kind of proceedings.”

 

Jason jokingly looked at Caroline with a side eye, insinuating that he had some questions for her. But Caroline just wagged her finger at her with a warning look on her face.

 

“It would be prudent that you consult with a defender, or what the civilians call a lawyer. I think Josephine would be helping you with that. It will be up to you if you want to bring a defender to the hearing. On one hand you would have someone that answers the questions for you and defends you against tricky and unfair questions; but on the other hand, your bringing a defender will show that you may have something to hide.” Professor Kapur used a long metal needle to scrape some residual material from inside Jason and Caroline’s clay bottles: “Oh, you still have something inside.”

 

“Shit, I’m sorry, looks like we forgot to mention that. Yeah, there’s still some medicine inside - our last sips.” Caroline immediately apologized.

 

“No worries, but if you don’t mind I would need to do and do analysis on them.” Professor Kapur poured the last sips from both bottles into two separate testing tubes, and marked Jason and Caroline’s names on the respective tubes: “Interesting - they’re like jelly.”

 

“Yeah, do all the analysis you want. We don’t need it - at least for now.” Jason said.

 

“Alright, anything you need from us?” Caroline asked.

 

“No, not now.” Professor Kapur smiled and said: “Why don’t you leave me your contact information, I’ll let you know when things are ready. Now, you should go and prepare.”

 

“Thank you so much Professor Kapur. We can’t thank you enough for this.” Jason bowed gently to Professor Kapur.

 

“Happy to help. And, good luck.”

 

Time flew when Professor Kapur went into the zone of her work - when she was done with her first round of analysis on Caroline and Jason’s blood samples and was about to start on the analysis of the little traces of the residual medicine from the two clay bottles, her stomach growled and begged her to head out for some food. After stretching for a few seconds and organizing her notes, she rolled out the front door of her office and went to the canteen.

But when she came back to the back of her office through the simple short distance teleportation device on her wheelchair, she sensed that someone was in her office rummaging through things.

 

Professor Kapur took a look at a special magical device from her robe that looked like some sort of pocket watch. On the screen of the device, she saw that there were two figures in robes in her office. They seemed to be looking for something, while paying absolutely no attention to anything that could be valuable in her office.

 

Having very little experience with this kind of things in the academy, she just rolled out from the back of the door and asked the two figures: “Hey! What are you doing in my office?”

 

The two figures got startled and turned to Professor Kapur - they were both wearing some kind of enchanted glasses that gave off some kind of blue shine.

 

“You’re not from the academy, who are you?” Professor Kapur finally became alerted: “Maykor’s Sight - those are for licensed secret investigators only. What do you think you’re doing? Do you even have a warrant?!”

 

“No. And we don’t need one.” the male figure said: “Professor Kapur, we are here to conduct a search and investigation on Principal Hawke’s authority. Yous shall submit to our search and provide us with full and honest answers to all of our questions.”

 

“No. That’s not how things work.” Professor Kapur narrowed her eyes: “Even with the order from the principal, I as a professor don’t have to submit to that.”

 

And without having to say anything, the male figure extended his hand at Professor Kapur, and at the same time, Professor Kapur also extended her hand forward. Two waves of energy clashed in the air, and the male figure instantly fell to a position of disadvantage though he had the element of surprise. The two energy waves were instantly pushed towards him and struck him on the chest, thrusting him onto the wall behind him with a loud bang.

 

The female figure in a robe pointed her finger at Professor Kapur, a psychic spell landed on Professor Kapur’s forehead, putting her in a very short moment of confusion. And taking advantage of this, the female figure threw a silvery blue needle at Professor Kapur, hitting her on the shoulder.

 

“Bitch!” the male figure coughed out some blood and locked Professor Kapur on the wall behind her while the paralyzing poison from the needle inconpacitated her with his magical power, and also completely crushed her wheelchair into a ball.

 

“You shouldn’t have done that.” Professor Kapur coughed and spit at the two figures: “You practically sent the distress signal out in my stead.”

 

“... the tubes. Give me that.” the female figure thought for a short moment and said.

 

“But they’re...”

 

“Give them to me NOW!”

 

The male figure handed the two tubes containing the last sips of Caroline and Jason’s medicine to the female figure.

 

“Now, too bad. The civilian born audit students under investigation asked you for help, you refused, so they resorted to force and poisoned you.” the female figure forced open Professor Kapur’s mouth and fed her both sips of the medicine, along with a small vial of poison she brought with her: “Enjoy bleeding through your pores to death, professor.”

 

Professor Kapur felt an intense pain coursing through her whole body and almost passed out. The two figures just took the two empty tubes and left her office in a hurry.
