Chapter 176 Messing Around With Sirius
After speaking with Aurora. The drowsiness finally got to him as his tired soul begged for rest. Hence, the moment he finished talking to Aurora, his eyelids got heavy as he fell into a deep sleep.
Next Day,
Morning,
"Yawwn…" Ray woke up with a slight smile on his face. Rubbing his eyes, he exhaled stale air and looked around him. Half expecting to see goblins running around with his teammates protecting him.
Ray sighed in relief when he saw the curtains, the window, and Sirius who lay on his bed and scored without care of the world.
"I wonder why he is so cold and detached when interacting with others. Just looking at him right now, he looks like your normal, everyday jolly teenager," Ray thought to himself, "Still, at this age. One can't judge them based on their appearances or habits. No one knows what demons one might face in his head. Thankfully, the teammates I got, are all same and don't have any degenerative qualities that I should be wary of,"
Finishing his train of thought, Ray sighed in lightly as and stood up from his bed.
After freshening himself up, he walked out of the room. Only to find everyone in the dining room with smiles on their faces as they chatted with each other.
"Wow, looks like the whole team decided to gather for breakfast," A smile bloomed upon his face as he saw all his teammates gathered in one place.
"Hey Ray, Come join us. Tim should be back soon, we sent him to fetch some breakfast," Elina waved at her and spoke.
"Tim? He got better?" Ray asked in confusion as the last he remembered was that Tim was yet to heal due to some strange energy invading his body.
"Well, last night. The head nurse called me and informed me that she had cleansed the foreign energy from his system and with the wound having healed previously. He was free to go. Therefore, I picked him up yesterday, and this morning, he was as good as he could be. Instead, he looked much better than before," Elina explained the situation.
"Well, then it seems everything got even better. By the way, wanna wake Sirius up?" Ray smiled as he got an idea. With a wink, he suggested disturbing Sirius's sleep.
"Do it on your own accord but let me warn you beforehand that it's a safety hazard. Hence, it's advisable to wear protective gear when trying to wake him up against his will," Emma spoke from her chair as she cautioned Ray.
But sadly, her words had little effect as not only was Noah ready to have some fun with Sirius while he was asleep but even Kid, Aliya, and Aella were down for it.
With that, the four of them slowly made their way to Ray and Sirius's room.
Opening the door with extreme care, Ray motioned them to stay silent. With that, the four of them entered the room and approached Sirius.
Signaling Noah. He asked the man to use his spirit needles to create a formation while Ray himself accessed his system storage and took out a small crystal from within.
[Illusion Crystal]
[Description:- A crystal that casts a minor illusion for a few minutes. Used to trick people and temporarily change the scenery of a place]
Using the crystal, Ray set it to show an illusion of the boss floor of the dungeon.
Then, with the illusion set, the scenery changed as the ceiling turned rocky while the walls also changed. In just a few seconds, everything changed as the room turned into the boss floor of the dungeon.
With the illusion in place, Ray signaled Aliya as everyone started acting.
"Sirius wake up. We need your help. The goblins are attacking," Aliya shouted at the top of her lungs and shook Sirius with all her power but to her surprise, the werewolf refused to bulge as he continued to snore without care.
Seeing the man show no response, Aliya shook her head as Noah took over and tried to wake up the wolf.
"Sirius, save me. Arghhhh… Sirius, Arghhh…. My leg..," Noah shouted as his spirit formation magnified his voice and made it so that he sounded to be more in pain.
Coupled with his flawless acting, it seemed that Noah was actually being attacked in real life and his leg was truly being cut by the goblins.
"Bang…" A loud bang sounded. Looking at Noah, Ray saw him flying into the distance and hitting the room's wall. Looking down, he saw Sirius still sleeping soundly. Though, the only difference being his right hand clenched into a fist as it had hit Noah square on his chest.
"Guess… It's his bad luck," Ray muttered as he decided to heed Emma's warning and left the werewolf alone.
Walking out of the room, everyone had a slight smile on their faces as they giggled at Noah and made fun of him while Noah hugged his chest in pain.
"I guess it didn't end well," Emma looked at them and spoke.
"Well, for Noah it didn't. Apart from failing to wake him up, we had some fun for sure," Aella said as she stood by Ray's side and occasionally glanced at him with a smile on her face.
"By the way, when will Tim arrive," Ray asked.
"He is here. He is in the kitchen with Elina, they are setting the breakfast," Emma replied.
"Then we should go and help them out," Ray said as he moved.
With that, the whole team had a joyful breakfast as they had fun with each other. Though, Sirius didn't wake up the whole time no one disturbed him. After all, they had learned their lesson the hard way.
After breakfast,
As they were picking up the dishes, Ray and the others got a notification on their Academy badge, asking them to head to the dean's office in ten minutes.
Hence, leaving the dishes as they were. The whole team walked out while Emma stayed behind to wake Sirius up.
"Don't worry. I will be there on time. After all, I can't leave him sleeping. He needs to attend the meeting," Emma said, deciding to stay behind to wake Sirius up.
No one objected to her decision as they walked to the dean's office. While they walked through the Academy, they saw all the students in a state of panic. Some ran from one place to another while the others just roamed around the academy haphazardly.
"I guess the news of the merge was made public," Ray guessed upon seeing the state everyone was in.
"It's a good thing they did. At least they have some time to prepare for it," Elina spoke up as they all finally reached the dean's office.
