Child from the Dungeon-Chapter 127: Draven’s Official Debut To Society Aftermath

(Hours later.)

[ Prodigal Academy Lobby. ]

" How are you so late, knights!? "

" How can you be so late!? " the students and teachers angrily comment on the late-arriving knights.

" We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we must attend to more important things to do... "

" After all, we must inform you all that this academy, wasn't the only one attacked by the Elven Onslaught. " the Knights explain which shocks the people as many of them were cut out from the news outside.

Only some of them who know like those who were watching the Academy's TV or scrolling their phones during classes who're able to realize what was going on, before the giant flash of light from the Star Elves.

Right after they were told that they immediately check their phones, opening them up to see the news, which shocks them all as they see it now.

As they all are explained what happened, the medics begin to help those who need to recover.

" Medic, sir Medic, please help my friend too... " Goriath says as he carries Donovan.

" Is that, Donovan!? " Aero asks Goriath, asking him where he found him.

" I found him inside the library...! " Goriath says which confuses Aero.

" Wait wasn't Donovan with us in the- "

" Shut up, Aero!!! "

" Who cares where we found him!? the matter now is to let this medic treat him! "

" After all, the Elves or the black monsters may be the ones who put him there, or whatever happens! " Goriath tells Aero about this.

" Right... " Carol says as she realizes that where the people were found is not important right now since the important thing is that there's no one they know that was gone or taken by the Elves or the Black Monsters.

" Black Monsters..., Elves... " the knights ask the students, teachers, and janitors more about this case, even the principal then take them to the camera operating room to check the record of everything that happens.

" Who is this guy...? " the knights ask as they see Draven on the record.

" He calls himself 'Draven', Mr. Knight!!! " Principal Axel tells them, asking the knights if they know who it is.

The knights go silent as they see the record, they shake their heads, showing that they didn't know who is this 'Draven' guy.

" Do you have more records regarding this...? " the knights ask the forensics they bring to the scene.

" No sir, this was the least we could recover... "

" Most of the records are gone, this 'Draven' guy must've discarded it, whatever he does... "

" But the most disturbing things I've realized... " the forensic says and shows to the principal.

" What is this? huh? " Principal Axel sees the record where he sees Draven is alone, without the Black Monsters that the whole people in the academy could see. In the record, there's no trace of the Black Shadows, not one.

"( How is this possible? )"

"( I swear we all saw it!? )" Principal Axel says as he sees the records that should've shown the Black Monsters, but instead, the Black Monsters were invisible to the camera, making them, the people of the academy, looked like that they were abducted by some 'unseen' force.

Even during the record where the Star Elves still exist, the record shows them being killed either by Draven or something out of thin air. This really made Principal Axel confused so much.

...

Meanwhile, as the medics evacuate the ones whose been hurt, they then take Donovan into one of the ambulances where Aero and Goriath, including Carol, had to follow as Donovan and Carlos were taken together.

" This is the last step you could follow us, kids... " the medic says as they put the two inside the ambulance.

As they put them, Carol suddenly felt something, something weird from Donovan, for a bit.

" Hmmm? " Carol sensed it from Donovan, but couldn't tell what it is...

" What is it, Carol? " Aero asks her Carol then stay silent as the back of the ambulance door is closed as it leaves.

" It's nothing... " Carol says as the chills in her body are gone.

"( What is that? )" Carol wonders to herself, sensing something out of ordinary at times like this.

...

( At the same time... )

"( She's sharp as ever... )" Donovan says as he acts asleep while his mind and ears are active, listening to what the medic says in the ambulance.

" Why did the Elves attack us? didn't we still uphold the treaty between us and them? "

" I don't know for sure, but I thought the elves were our greatest ally... "

" Really? Do you really trust those pointy ear beings!? "

" Do you never heard the phrase 'never trust an elf'!? this is the reason why we should've just attacked them first before this shit happened!? "

" But... "

" Why are you but-'ing'...? "

" Do you have an elf as part of your family or... "

" Oh, it's your aunt..., sorry that I forget," said the medic to the other medic while Donovan actively hears their eyes closed.

" Yeah, right... "

" Aside from that, do you also hear what happened to the Royal Houses? " the medic asks, suddenly changing the topic, and reviewing what happened to the Royal Houses who were also attacked by the Elves.

"( The Royal Houses are attacked too...? )" Donovan hears it carefully, as he hears that the House of Alan, Calibur, Dragunov, Equatior, Florental, Howlex, Illumina, Jaeger, Kaslan, Nostram, Prowl, and also... )"

"( The one who gets the most damage, is House Richter! )" the medic says which shocks Donovan in his mind.

"( WHAT!!!? HOW COME!!!? )" Donovan says as he hears it.

" Oh yeah, that was so hard... "

" I've heard the reports, it is said that House Richter was taken of its leader, Hector Richter. " the medic says which shocks Donovan even more as he hears it.

"( Grandpa!!!? )" Donovan hears this while trying to maintain his act.

" Yeah, I heard it... "

" It is said that the Elves had taken him back to their realm... "

" Because of that, I heard his daughter, Irina Richter-Grimshaw, and her husband immediately was enraged after hearing this... "

" I also heard that they are now gathering numbers from both Knights and Hunters... "

" Yeah, I know that... "

" It must be hard for the two..., after all, they were still in the spotlight for this year, you know... "

" Yeah, they're the first who made an adopted child an official member in their house. "

" The Child From the Dungeon, yeah... "

" I know... "

" Those other royals still mock them for the House's decision after all... "

" You know those Royals politics stuff, those guys had no heart at all... "

" Even during these times, the Richter House still gets many shits from the other House that receives lesser damage. "

" I feel bad for them, for the couple, and their children too... "

" I hope the children are alright in these times... " the medic says.

" Since in times of crisis, some assholes usually took this as an opportunity. " the medic tells the other medic which Donovan hears while still acting.

Clenching his other fist, unseen by the medic...

After hearing all of this...

"( Dammit! )"

...

...

...

" We already get the records..., do you want to see them? "

" Oh, the records of that new vigilante... " said a person in good clothes as he receives the report from the Knights, from the forensic. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵

" Hmmm... interesting... "

" At times like this... " the person in good clothes says as he sees this in his office.

" 'Draven' huh? "

" It seems I just get another cover in midst of this chaos, hehehe... " the person laughs about this.
