Chapter 7 - PUPPET MASTER

walking into the auditorium she could see different people with different auras but none matched the aura which she was looking for.

 a lot of things contributed to making her view Ling as weird, starting from the fact that he had little to no aura surrounding him which was very weird but if there's one thing she wouldn't do its to ask him what his abilities were, although he intrigued her he was nothing close to what she was looking for and besides she wanted to keep a low profile before anyone actually figured out who she was.

walking up the stairs of the auditorium alongside ling, she took her seat at the very back of the auditorium and from that height she could see every aura coming out of every single person in the room some were like little flames while others were very huge like a furnace with different colors and of all of them the most captivating were of the two people sitting up front they were obviously the strongest and definitely the top of the class.

' lets get to work then' smirking weirdly for a little period of time to avoid anyone noticing her demeanour

looking in the direction of the two students, she snapped her finger inaudibly as an invisible cloud appeared above both of the boys with the strong aura, snapping her finger for the second time, two strings attached themselves to the two boys and almost immediately they engaged in a conversation.

after over ten minutes of the conversation it turned into an altercation and it became a very heated violent argument, observing everything go according to her plans she smiled 

" seems like the spell is working" she had accidentally said it out loud without even realizing she was still seated next to Ling and he seemed to hear her mumbling 

" did you say something ?" looking directly at her as he could've sworn he heard her say something 

" nehh, just observing the entire thing from here " she lied sternly while looking directly into his eyes but nothing happened as he just turned and continued watching what was unfolding 

' there has to be something weird with this boy but I just cant figure it out ' she was troubled as her ability didn't work on him .

earlier when she had tried to use her abilities on Ling , his system had given him a warning that n ability was being used on him and that the ability had been rejected he didn't really think much about it but he knew it was lilith who had attempted to use her abilities on him although he didn't know why she would want to do that he just shifted his attention to the boys fighting upfront.

Among all of her abilities, the puppet master ability was the most reliable in causing altercations she just had to attach her strings to them and picture what she wanted to happen and afterwards her puppets would begin to work according to her manipulation .

the ability which she had attempted to use on Ling was mind invasion to find out if he heard what she said and as well as to look through all that's happened to him in the past few days but sadly it didn't work which was weird considering she was a high level individual undercover with a wide range of abilities and at very close proximity her abilities don't work on him.

the fighting had gone on for a while now and nobody was intervening but rather they just allowed the two of them to fight because no one was up to their power levels. they were both tier 10 users which was quite high. 

during the entire altercation , nobody noticed the teacher walk in, he immediately deactivated the spell holding both of the students and they both went back to their various seating positions , looking directly at where Eden was he frowned .

he had noticed that Eden manipulated her two classmates to fight each other but the reason was what he didn't understand. 

****

after the CA they all left the auditorium one after another but when it got to lilith and ling, they were stopped and the man continued asking her different questions about her behaviour in class which she apologized for and left alongside Ling 

" what was that about " looking at her confusedly because he didn't really understand why the teacher would scold her on the first day .

" its nothing actually, he just talked to me about not introducing myself and all that " she lied as usual .

walking silently alongside her when he remembered his quest and he hadn't completed the spriting quest so he started running 

" I have to get home on time to complete something " he ran off immediately as she walked slowly behind , soon he could no longer see her 

immediately he got to his apartment , the quest dashboard popped up again

" yes sir , so far she hasn't displayed any sign that shes working with any outsider. I'll send you the clips from yesterday's session while I watched her .... yes, shes infiltrated the school ... of course sir Ben everything is going according to plan " 

turning off his camera he immediately transfigured back into his real form , long golden red hair and red eyes smiling weirdly in the darkness 

" what an idiot" she smiled more weirdly
