Chapter 294 - King Max (2/2)

It carried on moving until it eventually reached Van. it started to sniff and look at him for a second and everyone watching gulped.

”Hey hey, calm down he's not food,” Max said standing in between the two.

Noir then looked at the uniform of both of them and realised it was the same one Ray had told her to protect. Making sure to follow her masters order. She left the student alone and went to lie down away from the well but still inside the village.

”Oh, Springett I missed you so much!” Flynn said with tears running down his face as he came over to hug her.

”Hey, where are the rest of the students?” a student asked, ”Shouldn't there be more.”

As Springett pushed Flynn away from her she looked around to assess the situation, only two had died on their side while eight on hers.

”I'm afraid we ran into some trouble and they have been killed,” Springett answered.

Some of the students once again broke down in tears. They were either close friends, while others were just afraid for their lives.

As Bliss, Kaito, Van and Max regrouped as a team together, they realised one person was missing.

”Was Nes one of the student's that died then?” Bliss asked.

”No, we thought he might have been with your group.” Max replied,” But I guess not.”

”Do you think he could be out there on his own?” Kaito added.

”Possibly, I mean we don't even know if he was transported here in the first place.” Bliss said, ”How did you manage to find us?”

Max then pointed at Noir who was now peacefully sleeping to the side.

”That wolf saved us when we were in trouble, it seems to understand human language. I don't know why but it asked us to get on its back and that's when it suddenly changed direction. Maybe it got the scent off one of the students.” Max said.

But what Max was saying didn't make any sense Bliss thought. Why would the wolf suddenly help them and how would it know what their scent was like? It had never met them before so it had to be something else that took them here.

Although Bliss didn't think too hard about it, in the situation they were in they needed all the help they could get.

That's when Springett came over to Bliss and her group, along with professor Flynn. ”Bliss, Kaito,” Springett said. ”We came over here to ask you if you have any ideas on how to get back. You two are our top students after all and sometimes even impress us.”

”I have a way we can get back.” Kaito replied, ”The circle that brought us here, before we left I looked at it in detail, I remember everything about it and I'm pretty confident I can reverse it.”

The group's eyes had lit up and the new information that had been revealed to them.

”Hey, you're not so useless after all,” Max said as he punched Kaito on the shoulder.

”There's a problem though,” Kaito said.

”It's the power source, right?” Bliss asked.

Kaito nodded.

”To transport us all back we need something of equal power to the crystal back at Roland.”
