Chapter 1043: Not a Ghost, a Phantom (1/2)

After the security system dealt with the hackers, there was once again peace and quiet in the Computer Department but it didn't last long. Iris Long's security system suddenly started acting weird. Then a pop-up message appeared on all of the department's computer screens.

”Initiating Power Flood….”

The staff members were alarmed.

”What's happening?! Is there another attack?”

”Is this a virus? Did we get breached?”

”What the heck is a power flood?!”

They attempted to control the situation but to no avail. They had no idea at all of what was happening. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

The department head was about to alert Headmaster Dupont of the situation when another message popped up on their screens.

”Please don't be alarmed. I mean no harm. I just want to borrow power from Cross Academy. Please let the headmaster know that I'll compensate the academy at a later date. Thanks. Sincerely, Drakon.”

Everyone in the unit knew Drakon. After all, the surveillance and security system that they had been using since last year had been designed by her. Even though not all of them knew that she was the disciple of the legendary hacker, Fantom, everyone in the department admired and respected her skills especially the department head.

”So it's you,” the department head sighed while shaking his head. He might sound annoyed but the small, amused curl of his mouth showed that he was already accepting the current situation.

Then the lights started flickering.

”Whoa! Ghost?!”

”Mama!”

”Shut up. It's just Drakon.”

”Drakon is a ghost?!”

”I want my Mama! Too scary!”

”Hahaha! Your mama will beat you up for acting like a grown-ass chicken.”

Laughter filled the room even as the lights continued flickering like a scene out of a horror movie. Now that they knew who was causing the anomaly, all of them relaxed and took the opportunity to entertain themselves with what was happening.

The department head joined them, chuckling but murmured, ”Not a ghost, a phantom.”

Nobody heard his soft voice amidst the laughter, however.
