Angel of Luck - Guardianhold - Research Results - Mansion Meeting (V) - 5th Sect

'What's happening?!'

Philip voiced out in his head because not only he was confused, but also slightly alarmed at the alerts that are being displayed. Error messages are numerous compared to the details of the Omega System

It was then that the system showed a display that can give Philip answers

「 The Omega System has detected another unprecedented exception within the host 」

「 Due to the ability to control fate and seek the future, Luck doesn't affect the ultimate outcome or flow of the events 」

「 Another secret ability is also interfering with the Luck Attribute and cannot be changed 」

「 [REDACTED] cannot be interfered and won't interfere 」

「 As a separate compensation, the Embodiment of Good Luck's bestowment of good luck shall be spread to the Messengers of Fate 」

「 Proceed? 」

「 Yes/No 」

Philip paused for a while and pondered for a decision. He gazed at Tenshi and she returned back a gaze, slightly tilting her head to the right to show that she noticed him

'Yes'

「 Transferring Luck Points to Tenshi Hikaru... 」

「 Success! 」

「 Tenshi Hikaru has unlocked the Angel of Luck Transformation 」

"!!!"

Philip frowned and immediately knew what this means. Usually, when Tenshi has a new form, an attribute or an aspect has been absorbed by her. In this case, it's the concept of good luck

So, Tenshi transformed into her Good Luck Angel form and everyone was surprised and confused

Her appearance changed from her blue hue turning into a green hue. A floating crown of green clovers appeared around her head and started to spin. Her eyes turned green and her iris are shaped in a four-leaf clover. Particles of sparkling green light hovered around her that occasionally twinkle

"Tenshi? What happened?"

Sheena asked

"Tenshi? Is something wrong?"

Sai asked in concern. She thought that if Tenshi transformed, there might be danger looming around them

On the other hand, after Tenshi examined herself, she slowly turned her gaze back at Philip, showing surprise in her eyes, as well as gratitude and care

"It's nothing... I just feel lucky, that's all"

Tenshi diverted the attention towards her and smiled warmly. She stayed in this form a little longer to feel the warmth and power of the transformation

It was then that a thought lingered in Tenshi's mind. In the past, before she could transform, a catalyst was needed to be absorbed by her to assimilate an angel variation of that aspect. But in this case, nothing was absorbed and she just suddenly transformed

'How did he gave me a catalyst without contact or me absorbing it? Well... It doesn't matter anyway, as long as he's trying to make sure I'm strong and powerful enough'

"Huh... Interesting, we also need to talk about your ability and your true identity. Justine and Sheena wete refusing to tell anything unless I consult you first. So, is okay to tell us?"

Sai respectfully asked Tenshi and Tenshi didn't answer immediately. She turned to Philip first because she knows that Philip knew the best to tell about her ability

"Hmmm... Yeah, sure. I'll tell everyone. We will be together for a long time anyway... Also, if I tell you this, we may be in a bigger danger, especially if her true identity is leaked"

"I think that's fine... We have a powerful force in this mansion"

Sai was talking about herself, the Old Man, Ken, Alucard, Mathilda, Jude, the fire sisters, Mei'er, and many more

"Not to mention, you"

Sai then pointed at Philip

"I guess so, that's why she's also under my protection. I have to do everything to keep her safe and alive"

"Really?"

"Yup. Also, even with our combined powers, she has the potential to overpower all of us and I might not be able to handle her"

"Oh, is her identity really that complicated?"

"Yes..."

At this point, Yozu resumed speaking

"The Guardianhold, one of our pride and one of the most important place in the Mystical Academy. Home to the Guardians and the pedestal to the Guardian Sword. A place where myths are born and the strong grows"

"..."

Everyone was on the edge of their seats since Yozu is hyping the Guardianhold too much. It sounded like the Guardianhold is like a legendary keep for legendary heroes

"This is the very first artificial island that was created. The Guardianhold floats around the Core Academy and revolves in a circle"

"..."

"How's it special you ask? Well... It's a floating island that's full of myths. As to how you will be able to enter the Guardianhold... You have to find it out yourself. Ah! There are 10 Guardians in total and each of them are powerful in their own rights"

"Interesting..."

Everyone became interested in the Guardianhold. They thought that their lives will turn around if they discover the myths themselves, just like some special quest in a game

"Hm, I guess that's everything in the Mystical Academy"

"What?! What about the Core Academy itself?"

Some people voice out in front of their screens

"You won't be able to see anything inside the Core Academy. It's off limits to the eyes of the world and it's only exclusive to the chosen one who are able to enter it"

Yozu answered as if he heard everyone's question

"Well, remember what I said earlier? We nurture ability users and unlock their potential. We already have someone who has fixed her ability due to our guide"

Everyone waited in anticipation, while Philip raised his right eyebrow as he seemed he knew what Yozu was talking about

"There was a beautiful girl that has the ability of the Songstress... Her voice was supposed yo be majestic but it turned out that it was hurtful on the ears. We tried to help her and nurture her ability. After one year, her ability was amplified and a hidden power awakened inside of her. This, in turn, fixed her voice and she has the most beautiful sounding voice"

Everyone was excited about the girl's story. They were expecting to see or hear the girl and Yozu granted them their wish

"The girl's name is Lyre"

The camera then turned towards the door to Yozu's office and the door slammed open

"Headmaster!!!!"

A pink haired girl came barging in as her hair and white dress fluttered from the wind. Her pink jacket bounced for every step she took

Seeing and hearing the Lyre made everyone's heart thump as they stayed silent. Their cheeks blushed, not only the men, but also women as they were envious of how Lyre looked

Meanwhile, the internet was also in a roll. They started to compare Lyre to the most beautiful women in the world, specifically Tenshi, because she has the looks of an actual angel

On the other hand, Philip only widened his eyes from surprise. Not because he missed Lyre or anything, but because of her appearance

'Did she cut her hair? Is it because her heart was broken when the fake news spread that I died?'

That could only be the explanation as Lyre's hair wasn't the same as before. Her hair was reaching to her waist, but now, it's shorter that it only reached her shoulders, almost similar to Yuze

"Is it true that Philip is alive?!!"

Lyre shouted, which made Yozu taken aback. He forget that everyone in the Genesis Class knows that Philip died from the incident about seven months ago. This will be the first time that they will be hearing that Philip is alive

Following Lyre, Yuze also barged in the office with a gust of wind from her Shift ability. Alex and Nana also ran in because they wanted to confirm Philip's survival

"Students! This isn't what we talked about!"

Yozu began to panic because everyone in the world is seeing this

"We don't care! We want to know if Philip is alive!"

Lyre voiced out

"Why didn't you tell us before?!"

Yuze cried out

"..."

Alex and Nana just stood by

Meanwhile, everyone in the world was confused at the identity of these individuals and their relation to Philip

"A lady's man, huh?"

Sai commented, which made Justine, Natsume, Tenshi, and surprisingly, Sheena and Clara blush and twitch in place

Philip glared towards Sai's direction and told her to stop with his eyes

'It's not like I chose to!'

Philip wanted to say, but rejected the idea

"Headmaster..."

Lyre called out to Yozu as her eyes were shadowed by her cross bangs. Her hair started to hover in the air and her aura grew behind her. A silhouette of a humanoid also slowly appeared behind her. Music started to faintly play as her aura grew

"Father..."

This was the first time that Yuze called Yozu father in a while, but in a worse way. Her eyes were also shadowed by her bangs but red light could be seen glinting on her eyes. Her hair slowly hovered in the air and her cat ear hair also slowly propped up. Yellow coloring slowly filled the ends of her dark blue hair and yellow lightning and sparks appeared around her

"Guh..."

Yozu exclaimed in panic as cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Lyre being angry is scary im her own right, especially with Sonar backing her up, but Yuze calling her father is what dealt the massive blow. He knew that something bad is going to happen

Smash

He abruptly ended the broadcast and only a black screen was shown to the world

"Huh... I guess, we're early in the schedule..."

Sai commented, then a voiceover echoed in the broadcast

"Please hold until we start the next segment"

Commercials about magic and mana started to play in the broadcast to entertain everyone in the world

"The Headmaster was supposed to introduce Lyre and show the Genesis Class, but it seemed that it won't happen because of those brats"

Sai wasn't annoyed but curious. She wanted to mess with Philip but it's not the right time since there are important matters to attend to

"Alright, while we're waiting... Where do we start? Do you want to know what the 5th sect is, or tell us Tenshi's ability and true identity?"

Sai asked Philip

"5th sect first, please"

"Alright..."

Everyone listened closely, especially Justine because she was the first one who will bear witness to Philip's accurate vision of the future

"Old Man? Can you start?"

"Sure..."

The Old Man fixed his sitting position and breathed deeply

"Six months ago, the Atlantis has resurfaced..."

"I already know that"

"I figured"

The Old Man and Philip were having a casual conversation while Sai and Ken just listened closely. The residents of Saykrandae doesn't know what they're talking about, but they still listened

Meanwhile, everyone else were surprised that the mythical Atlantis has resurfaced. They tought that it was only a myth, a legend, yet here it is. Alucard, on the other hand, was slightly surprised because he heard stories about it. There were also proof of the existence of Atlantis in the memories of the inheritors, which made him less surprised

"The reason that it resurfaced is because of Zxhst, after he annihilated all life at the bottom of Mariana Trench"

"Hm... I don't think Atlantis would resurface just because of him. What's the other reason?"

"You're right. The second reason is because of Zxhst's release of massive amounts of mana, it was absorbed by the Bermuda Triangle in the Carribean Sea"

"A dimensional tear"

"Yes, it was caused by a failed experiment around 175 million years ago. Mana made the tear activate, which awakened Atlantis because the seal was impending to be released"

"If the Bermuda Triangle is above Carribean Sea, how did it went towards the middle of the Pacific?"

"So, you know about that to, huh?"

"I saw it the night before the catastrophe. The night where Celine and I talked"

Celine very slightly blushed and looked away after she earned the stare of several girls

"Right. After the Atlantis detected that there's a continent above it, it pulled the dimensional tear away from any land. The tear also tore the space in front of it, but the seal of Atlantis made it so that it repaired the torn trail"

"Yes, what's beyond the dimensional tear? I guess that's where the 5th sect will come into play?"

"Yup, Sai?"

"Yes, the Demon Lord of Mars, the third terrestrial planet of the Solar System, Barsoom, had made contact to Earth"

"!!!"

Everyone was then shocked by Sai's words, except for the residents of Saykrandae. Though, Corleona seemed to be getting angry

Sai then continued to tell the story to Philip what the Old Man told to her. His, Atlan, and Diagonnaer's conversation with Barsoom, the agreement, the contract, wish and desire, and gifts

"We accepted to receive his gift of these disaster beasts and creatures to also help him in his world to minimize casualties"

"So, this is the 5th sect?"

"Yes, the 5th sect is called Magical Beast Sect. This sect allows the students to hunt magical beasts as collect their materials as a reward..."

"These materials are also used in the Alchemy Brewing Institution and Forge Masters Institution, right?"

"Yes! How'd you know?"

Sai seemed to have an idea on how Philip knew, but it wouldn't hurt to ask

Meanwhile, a display appeared in Philip's vision

「 Task Complete!!! 」

「 Learn the nature of the 5th sect in the Mystical Academy: Complete 」

「 Reward received! Reward has been placed along with the other item possessions in your room 」

Philip gave a smile and his excitement rose. He then answered Sai with confidence

"Around six months ago, my research regarding magic items..."

"Wait... You predicted this?"

"Yes, ask Justine"

"He did! He called it! This is his exact word, as far as I can remember... 'Three to ten years from now... Atlantis will rise and Magical Beasts and Monsters will be born, or more accurately, will come to our world and the Atlantians will manage them'. Well, the time was inaccurate, but the rest is plenty accurate"

"Interesting..."

The Old Man and Sai slightly widened their eyes while the other are actually surprised

"How'd you even come to that conclusion??"

Vanessa asked, confused about Philip's thought process

"It was just a hunch. Also, it's because of my abilities, right?"

"That makes sense... It's just wild because it's like you already know what will happen"

"Well... The time was off and it happened 3 weeks after I told that to Justine, not 3 years... It was because of the catastrophe"

"It seems so... Time is not absolute and every concepts and aspects are bound to each other"

Sai commented

"You're right and wrong"

"How am I wrong?"

Philip gaze straight into Sai's eyes and into her soul

"I can't say"

Philip's words contained weight that everyone felt it. Their hearts sunk and they became extremely confused at what Philip meant

"Anyway... I will now tell you about Tenshi's ability and true identity"

Philip didn't gave enough time for anyone to ask him any further
