It was Alexi's responsibility this time to take that person to the nurse and to see why he had to use his gifts.
...
"Y-you can fly?' Dash exclaimed in shock.
"I can do many more things as well," Lucifer answered as he grabbed Dash by his throat and raised him in the air.
His decay started acting, bringing the same intense screams as before. It was only now that Dash understood why they were screaming.
"Stop! Free me! I didn't do anything!" Dash kept pleading, but the pain didn't stop. What stopped was his screams as he turned to ash as well.
"I didn't do anything either," Lucifer muttered as he glanced at the ash.
As Lucifer finished with everything, he walked back to Cassius. Bending forward, he picked up his gloves and kept them in his pocket.
"What is happening here? Tell me everything. I'll make sure nothing happens to you. They started it first, after all!" Cassius told Lucifer, knowing that Lucifer was in trouble now. He had killed so many students here.
Lucifer glanced at his bracelet as he noticed three red lights. "I doubt you can help me."
Lucifer touched the bracelet, making it also decay. Soon, the Limiter was completely destroyed, and Lucifer's hands were freed.
"I can! I'll make sure you don't get any big punishment! I went through something similar! It's self defense. Don't give up and tell me what happened?" Cassius asked.
Lucifer opened his lips to say something when the door opened again.
"Alright, who broke the rules this time?" Alexi said, barging inside.
"Alex, you?" He soon noticed Alex and Cassius standing near each other.
But he also noticed that Lucifer didn't have a limiter. Moreover, he was flying above the ground.
But what truly shocked him were the other limiters that were lying on the ground, near what seemed like ashes.
"Goodbye, Cassius," Lucifer said softly as he noticed Alexi.
"Teacher Alexi, tell the other teachers thanks from me. I'll never forget their help!" Lucifer told Alexi before he flew up.
Alexi was left confused. What was happening here?
"Cassius, tell me what happened here!" Alexi asked Cassius.
"Nothing happened. Some people got what they deserved. That's all," Cassius answered as he glanced at the ash before he started leaving the arena, wondering where Lucifer would be now.
Just what was his story? Why did he look like he was sad? His eyes were filled with pain and grief, completely unlike the eyes of Lucifer he knew.
' I need to meet him again. I need to understand. He's my friend, and I need to be with him in the time of need. That's what he would have done too,' Cassius thought.
...
In a faraway place from the city, Grandpa Chi was standing, staring at the rising sun. It was a new day, and he had just come here. He was going to take another long trip inside the vast sea.
"It looks so peaceful today. I've never seen the sea this silent," the old man muttered as he started stepping towards the sea.
He didn't know that a young man had just landed behind him.
There was even some blood on his uniform, clearly visible.
Lucifer stood in complete silence as he watched the old man advance towards the sea. His fists were clenched as his expressions seemed unreadable.
After a long silence, just when the old man was one step away from the sea, Lucifer opened his lips as he spoke his first few words.
"You lied to me!" he said.
"Huh?"
Hearing the familiar voice, the old man was surprised.
"Alex, how did you come here?" The old man asked, surprised as he turned back. "The academy let you leave?"
"Lucifer!' Lucifer answered, yelling.
"What?" The old man asked, not understanding.
"My name! It's Lucifer, not Alex! The life you gave me! That happiness you gave me, the family you gave me, it was all fake!" Lucifer said, almost at the edge of screaming.
"So you remembered," the old man said as he sighed.
"Alex, oh sorry. It's Lucifer now," The old man said.
"I'm sure you will also understand that I had no other choice. You weren't in any condition to hear the truth. I did what I thought was best for everyone. Because any alternative would have been worse for your mind."
"But I also want to say one more thing. That happiness I gave you, the family I gave you, it wasn't fake at all. It was all real because I never saw you as a fake family."
"In fact, after all this time, I had even forgotten that you weren't my real grandson," Grandpa Chi told Lucifer, sighing.
The old man soon noticed the blood on the clothes of Lucifer. He couldn't help but ask, "Whose blood is that on your clothes?"
He wondered if Lucifer had killed someone because he really looked angry but not hurt at all.
"You have no right to know that now," Lucifer replied.
"I have no right? Am I not your grandfather anymore? You're lying. You and I will always be family," the old man said. "So tell me, whose blood is that!"
"You're wrong. I have no family!" Lucifer retorted.
"Then prove it! If you really feel nothing, then kill me for lying to you," the old man said, spreading his arms as if he was waiting. "Kill me and finish this story. I'm sure you can do that easily with your hands."
He had already noticed that Lucifer wasn't wearing his gloves either.
"If that's what you want," Lucifer let out as he started walking towards the old man.
Within seconds, he was standing just a single step away from the old man.
"Your eyes... They are filled with sadness. You know, I'll always be your Grandfather just like you'll always be my Grandson! Tell me your past! What had happened to you?" Grandpa Chi said, seemingly concerned for Lucifer.
"Who had hurt you? You either let me in, or you kill me. You only have two choices, young man," he continued.
"You're overestimating yourself. I'm nothing but a monster. I can kill anyone," Lucifer said as he reached out his hand towards the old man's face.
The old man didn't look scared even though he knew that he'd die if Lucifer touched him. But it seemed like he had faith in his grandson and the bond.
It was Alexi's responsibility this time to take that person to the nurse and to see why he had to use his gifts.
