Chapter 78: The intruder

"What will you be doing Ed? Will you go train again?" Ellie was curious about what Ed was going to do. They had just won the tournament, making them the strongest of the academy. But there was always room to improve.

"No, I'm going to be meeting with my family in the capital." Ed had other plans. He was going to spend this time with Eri and the children, before taking them back to his kingdom.

"Your family will be visiting you?" His friends were rather curious about this. Usually, no one would cross such a distance just to meet with someone. It hasn't been that long either.

"Not exactly" Ed didn't explain himself, nor did he need to do that. Everyone had their privacy, and the ones present knew exactly what that meant.

Before Ed could leave, he was surrounded by other students. They all wanted to have a chat with him, especially some girls, while some of them wanted to fight him, or train with him. It took Ed a while to get away from them, mainly thanks to the help of Hayato, and the others who made it seems like he already had plans to be with them.

As Ed was making his way to the teleportation circle to get back to the castle, he was stopped by an ear piercing scream. Everyone present was surprised by the sudden scream. Even the king and general, who still had not left, turned around to check the situation. Ed looked to the back to see a girl clutching her head while screaming. She looked as if she was losing her mind as the seconds' pass. Not a minute later, another scream sounded that freaked out the students.

This time it was another student, an Oni to be precise. 'Two of them?! Could it be a sickness? No that's too much of a coincidence'. Ed who was surprised by the sudden change of events activated his Sharingan to check the two students that were in a weird situation. After checking out the QI of the two students, his worst fear had come true. Both of them were in the same situation as Eric from before. In fact, they were much worse, their QI seemed as if it was exploding inside their body.

Before Ed could inform someone about the situation, someone spoke. "Well then, I won't be needing this anymore" Ed looked at the source of the voice to find that it is Class C's teacher. His face looked as if it was melting, anyone who looked at his felt nauseous. "T-Teacher?" Leon and Charlie, who were rather familiar with their teacher, looked surprised at what was happening to him.

"I had to avoid you two since you were much stronger than the rest. But now, everyone will be dying!" The teacher released his QI and immediately, the students felt fear. 'This isn't Earth Establishment! This is even further It can't be an Immortal Establishment.!' The QI released by the fake teacher made Ed lose some hope. If the enemy was truly this strong, they had no hopes of leaving.

"What have you done to my teacher?" A voice broke Ed out of his whirlpool of despair. The king and general seemed to have gotten an idea about what was happening. Both of them seemed ready to fight, no to kill the man in front of them.

"Oh, I haven't done anything. I took the teaching test and you people accepted me." The man was speaking with a smile stuck on his face at all times. Instead of making people feel that he was friendly, they wanted nothing but to get away from him.

"What do you want here?" The king remained calm even while everything was going south. More and more students were falling on their knees screaming. There were now more than 20 students in such a state.

"I'm here to announce the return of my sect." The man stopped for a while, adding a dramatic feeling to his words. "The blood sect!" The king and general's eyes both opened up wide. It seemed that they couldn't believe what they heard.

"That can't be true! That abomination of a sect was destroyed a long time ago!" The general who was silent until now couldn't stop himself from speaking.

"That's why I said, we have returned! And we prepared a festival to celebrate!" The disgusting smile never parted with the man. "What did you do to the students?!" The king seemed to be losing his patience as he screamed. Ed who was listening to them all this time finally had the courage to speak. "They are being controlled!"

"How did you know?" Hayato who was next to him thought that the students were poisoned. No one thought about the possibility of them being controlled.

"I encountered this situation before." Ed didn't tell them about the incident with Eric, but they believed him. Even the king and general had no doubts about it.

"Oh yes, the illusionist was sent to Avalon. I guess you were the reason why he failed to do his job." The man switched his attention to Ed. His look alone made him shiver uncontrollably. The killing intent being released was too much for anyone to handle. His friends who were next to him weren't the target, yet they could feel helpless.

"You can die now." Before Ed could register what he was told, a palm was descending, aiming for him. 'I can't block it. Should I dodge?' In a split second, Ed studied all the possible situations that were presented to him. He knew he was doomed if nothing was done. Suddenly a sword slash made the palm dissipate.

"Don't think you can push my students around." Harry had appeared to help Ed and the others. They were all relieved to see him. Then, another person stood next to him. IT was class A's teacher. "All bets are off Harry. The students were being controlled, which means that they weren't at their best!" He seemed to be trying to make Harry forget about their bet. "No way" Harry didn't seem to back away either.

"You two get the other teachers and try to save the students. You can't handle this man anyway" The king was preparing to fight himself, while the general was going to support him.
