Dawn? Is that my family name? Who is this person? Do they know me?’ Grey pondered inwardly, his brows knitting tightly in confusion and suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly rose upright, taking a measured breath, keeping his composure as his gaze shifted to the two thin bracelets tightly fastened around his wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you all? What do you want from me?\" he demanded, his voice steady yet laced with restrained intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man paused, his eyes twinkling beneath the mask as he surveyed the room... eventually settling on the young warrior mage below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? I thought the mask would have made it obvious by now,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey lifted an eyebrow in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mask? What mask? And why can’t I summon my magic?\" he thundered, glaring down at his hands, flexing his fingers desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard he concentrated, not a spark of lightning appeared. Even the wind refused to answer his command, refusing to bend along his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only solace was that his Ki remained unaffected; he could still gather it effortlessly, his breathing steady as he considered his options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh? I thought he encountered a lower zodiac the other time and he wore a mask like mine. So why can’t he recall the mask?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it...’ the man’s eyes widened behind the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, his expression darkened, teeth grinding together in restrained fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So he lost his memories? He doesn’t even recall what he did?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sigh escaped him, low and ominous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will be quick work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s lips twisted into a cold smirk before he turned his attention back to Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as those bracelets remain on your wrists, you will not be able to summon magic. There is a mage outside who is locked onto those bracelets, actively disabling your ability to conjure any spells,\" he explained with a tone of finality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey blinked once, his frown deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will simply tear them off!\" he growled, coiling his fingers tightly around the bracelet and tugging with immense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden jolt of electricity surged through his arms, coursing into his very core and lashing at his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey yelped loudly, his wrist ablaze with burning pain as he stared in disbelief at the bracelets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kek, Kek, Kek! Did I forget to mention that those are mythical-grade bracelets? You cannot simply pull them off. The harder you struggle, the more excruciating the pain becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, you could even die from it. Escape is impossible, and I will ensure you are buried here today for all you have done,\" the masked figure said with chilling amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey raised an eyebrow, incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All I have done? What did I ever do to you? Why did you summon me here? Who the hell are you?!\" he shouted, the tension in his voice vibrating with frustration and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping across the room, landing on Vanessa lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ankle still bled from an earth shrapnel lodged deep within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millie stood protectively a few metres in front of her sister as more mages surrounded them, their hands glowing ominously, ready to obliterate anyone who dared interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clarice struggled on the floor, huffing and gasping for breath as about a dozen mages towered above her, preparing to unleash devastating magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you have lost your memories,\" the man observed, turning his attention back to Grey with a measured, almost predatory gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are the Otherworlders, a powerful organisation that has struck fear into countless races. An organisation with roots in every corner of the universe, even reaching this pitiful world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An organisation so feared that even the celestials dare not interfere. We are the same organisation that you—Grey Dawn refused to join when we offered you a place among us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s brows furrowed sharply as a sudden wave of headache slammed into him, pressure building behind his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blurry images flashed in his mind: himself panting heavily, glaring at someone while his face was concealed behind a mask—the same mask that the ominous figure above now wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the next second, the images stopped abruptly, fading as if they had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Do...he just called my family name, a name I had long forgotten? So does that mean they know who I am? Are they truly from my world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, then is there a way I can capture him and extract information about my identity? Could that actually work? They seem to possess a few items, and maybe one of them could help me regain... wait a moment.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened in horror as he slowly lifted his head, the realization sinking in like a heavy stone in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...you said your organisation has roots in every corner of the universe, including this world? Is that how you found me? Wh...who betrayed me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The letter that summoned me here was delivered by Gunther. I couldn’t even ask him where he obtained it or how it reached me. Could it be...? Did instructor Gunther betray me? Is he somehow connected to these people...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose I can tell you,\" the man sighed, his voice calm yet laced with dark amusement, snapping Grey out of his spiraling thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by the circumstances, you will soon meet your end anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Grey muttered, lifting his head to focus fully on the man, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know,\" the man began, a smirk hidden behind the black mask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"in our organisation, after our leader, there exists an entire hierarchy that functions as his lieutenants. We are called the twelve zodiacs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After our leader, we are the next most powerful beings, and trust me, the higher our rank, the stronger and deadlier we become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world alone, two zodiacs have been strategically placed, each occupying high positions that nobody would ever suspect or notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man paused, letting his words hang in the air as he studied Grey’s reaction carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You made a critical mistake by revealing your identity during the tournament because one of the twelve zodiacs spotted you then and immediately reported it to the central table.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey froze, his mind reeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Revealed myself at the tournament? One of the twelve was there? But who could it have been? It definitely can’t be Gunther—he wasn’t even present during the event, so wh...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And his name is... Orion Stormvale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name hit Grey like a sledgehammer to the chest. His eyes widened to near impossible limits, his heart hammering so violently it felt as though it would explode out of his ribcage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Principal of Aetherian Academy,\" Grey cut the man off sharply, the words escaping his lips before he could contain himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Clarice’s eyes bulged, her mouth frozen in utter shock, unable to process the revelation that had just been thrown into her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN: Castle anyone? I suppose it’s about time I receive one, right?
