Run!! ..... Part 1

17 minutes ago

"Look, let me tell you something. You wield great power you know nothing about, which can come in handy for us here at the academy." What nonsense? The principal is doing this to me for power? Is this something I shouldn't have expected?

"Me? Great power? Quit joking and tell me the truth. Now that you are keeping me here, can you at least tell me why I am actually here? It must be a lie. Now, what you should tell me is the truth, so what is it?"

"No, I can't. I can't imagine if what I tell you will give you your memories back, so the only thing you get is this jail."

"People will notice I am missing, and when they find out where I am, they..."

The conversation between me and the so-called shitty principal went on.

"I have to stop you there. Nobody will find out that you are here because all they will know is that you dropped out, and that's all." All I know now is the principal knows something about me, but I don't know what it is.

"You are evil! I will get you when I am out of here."

"You can keep your hopes up, but I assure you, you're not getting out."

"I didn't come here to chat with you. Now tell me, where is your second grimoire? I went to your room, but they said you've never come to the room."

"I don't know, and if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

"Oh, really? That's how you want to play the game."

"We got you. We just need Serena."

"So you do know what my dream was about?"

"Of course, why do you think you're here—for a cup of tea?"

"Hmm. Then who is Serena?"

"Okay, let me just tell you this. A boy was known nine months ago in this realm, and he was feared because he had a great and immensely powerful ability. He called himself 'The Death Inhabitance' and allied with a woman named Serena, who wielded magic and matter manipulation. No one has seen him use his abilities, but his brute strength alone could stop a thousand-strong army."

"Huh, and what does this have to do with me?"

"You will see."

"If I am not useful to you now, you can go to your office. I thought you didn't come here to chat."

That pissed off the principal, and he left.

"You will regret what you said, Anon, if that's your real name."

"If that's my real name? What does that maggot-brain mean?"

CURRENTLY

"Well, that explains it all, and I could have sworn I saw your grimoire in his office. How will I get you out of here?" All we needed now was a way for me to escape.

"Well, the key to this lock is with one of the guards."

"Which of the guards?"

"It's with the guard that..."

"Who is over there?"

Jump scare! Looks like the guard found out.

"You need to find a way out of here. It wouldn't help if we were both locked up in here."

"That's true. Oh, Laura could help you out. Take."

She gave me the creation grimoire, which I hid behind my back as I quickly sat against the wall facing the bars. She ran in the opposite direction from where the guard was coming, and luckily for her, there was a gate leading out with no guard nearby.

"Who were you talking to?"

"A young man isn't allowed to talk to himself?"

"I heard a female voice."

"Looks like someone is going to visit the psychiatric hospital."

"Who were you talking to?"

"I told you, no one. You can check for yourself."

The guard checked the dungeon quickly and returned to the cell within three minutes.

"I couldn't find anyone."

"Like I said, no one is here. As for the female voice you heard, I think it's a sign that you should get married." laughs out loud

"Stop that right now! A prisoner should know his place."

"And a guard shouldn't have mental issues. Hahahaha! I'm so funny, right?"

"No, you aren't, but you are surely annoying. That is why I will never leave this post again unless my shift is over."

"Well, no one asked you."

"Grrr... well, no one asked for your reply, either."

I laughed that off.

Well, this is a big problem. Now that I have a grimoire, the problem is how and when to use it. Everything sucks. He said he wouldn't go away, but let's see about that. What if there's an event or a disaster where all guards are needed? How will he handle that? All I have to do is find a way to interact with Angel.

27 minutes later

Stomach groans

Anon: "Looks like someone wants to feed the toilet."

"Don't get your hopes up. This is not my first groan on..."

stomach groans harder

"Sorry, excuse me. I'll be back. Don't try anything mischievous." The guard ran towards the exit.

"So, communicating with Angel would have been unnecessary."

"LET US MAKE CREATION, AND ALL THINGS SHALL KNOW LUCIUS AND LAURA."

Laura appeared.

"Why did you summon Laura?" she asked.

"I am in danger."

"And how does that concern... concern Laura?"

"It concerns you a lot because you need me to find Lucius."

"No, Laura doesn't need your help."

"As far as I see it, you need to be awakened to track down Julius, the person who knows where Lucius is. I assume that because you mentioned his name the first time we met. And for you to be awakened, you need someone to say your magic word, which is me. Without me, you are just a mere book, useless. So, therefore, you have to listen to my every command."

"Hmm! What do you want Laura to do then?" Laura was getting furious.

"I want to get out of here."

"Open your grimoire. Laura has granted you a spell. You just have to cast it."

"Hope you're not trying to trick me because you know if I'm gone, it means bye-bye to Lucius."

"Laura knows. Now, do as she says."

I opened it, and as I did, the spell started appearing word by word. When done, it was fascinating, but the words were different compared to my other spells in the light grimoire, and I couldn't read them.

"Why are the words different from other grimoires, but still understandable? It's like an old-gen English."

"You are so pathetic. How do you expect the language used during creation and new languages to be the same? Just repeat after Laura."

The spell: Freedom

"Okay, repeat now," Laura instructed.

"Thou Unbounded Loosen Freeth Shalam!!"

"Now you know the words and pronunciation. Say them all together."

"THOU UNBOUNDED LOOSEN FREETH SHALAM!!"

In an instant, the lock on the bars came off.

"That is a freedom spell used when someone is trapped," Laura revealed. This made me glad.

Minutes after my escape, I met Angel at the sick bay.

"Angel, I have to get out of here." I was desperate.

"How did you get..."

"Get him!!!!" A guard had noticed my presence.
