Modern World Warlock-Chapter 88: High School Students

On an average school day, a group of three teenagers met at the rooftop of the building to discuss the events they had witnessed the previous night.

Lina, the blonde girl, was fawning over Megan as she thought the woman was "badass." Jake, on the other hand, believed that Dante was even more badass after seeing him destroying a monster with his bare hands.

Tommy, the redhead of the group, didn’t see the faces of his saviors. However, he remembered seeing Zac momentarily after waking up inside the sewers before falling unconscious.

"Man, they were so cool…" Jake muttered, slightly excited about their encounter.

"Do you think we’ll see them again?" Lina pondered.

Jake shrugged, saying that he doubted it as the mysterious woman who called them in the car was very clear when she asked the teenagers to keep everything a secret.

"Maybe they were like… A group of secret spies or something," said the girl, prompting the group to chuckle for a bit before looking down apprehensively.

"I’m so glad they were there…" Lina continued, her voice slightly breaking.

"We… We were really going to die," Jake replied, reminiscing of the horrible sights he witnessed inside the sewers.

Tommy clenched his chest in the area where he had been impaled, wondering how it was possible for the strangers to heal his wounds so quickly.

Even after Jake explained that the redhead man used a stone to cure his injuries, the whole idea of it was too hard to imagine for Tommy.

When the bell rang, the students returned to their classrooms for their final lessons of the day.

A few hours later, the trio met at the building’s exit and went into the courtyard together, seeing a small commotion happening around the gates.

"What’s happening there?" Lina pondered aloud.

Students were gathering around someone next to the gate as if a movie star had arrived at their school, piquing the teenagers’ curiosity.

After getting a bit closer, they were surprised to see Dante and his group standing in the center of the commotion, with a bunch of teenage girls asking them questions.

"Are you looking for someone?" A random girl asked.

"I can help out!" Another one interjected.

At that moment, Dante spotted the three teenagers staring at him in the distance with perplexed faces.

"Ah, Jake!" Dante exclaimed, waving at his group in the back.

As Jake and his friends approached the warlock, the rest of the female students started to spread out, voicing their disappointment about being unable to guide the handsome stranger.

"Hey, Lina. Do you know those guys? Who are they?" A girl asked the blonde.

"Umm, yes. They are… uhh… our tutors!" Lina replied with uncertainty while stammering her words.

"Ehh? You are so lucky!" the girl continued, prompting Lina to quicken her pace towards the warlock to escape from the conversation.

"Wh-what are you guys doing here?" Jake asked the Omega Team with a hint of nervousness.

"We were just checking in on you guys…" Megan replied before Dante.

Lina praised the trio for being so thoughtful and said that they felt perfectly fine, making Dante smile slightly with satisfaction, knowing that the girl wasn’t lying.

’It doesn’t seem like they’ve been targeted yet… That’s good,’ the warlock thought.

The teenagers guided the Omega Team to a park near their school, with a few swings and a slide that looked a bit old.

"Not many people come here…" Jake said after arriving.

However, Dante mentioned that the area was too open and that they should go somewhere more private.

The teenagers were a little nervous about the warlock’s request, which Dante instantly noticed and clarified, saying he would leave and come back so the kids wouldn’t be nervous around him.

Dante was used to people avoiding him in his past world, so he didn’t overthink it or get offended whenever someone didn’t want to be around him.

Still, once the teenagers realized that their presence wasn’t needed for whatever the warlock wanted to do, they changed their minds and said they would accompany him.

After guiding the group to a construction site, Lina said that it had been abandoned for a few months so nobody would know they were there.

During the entire time that the teenagers spent with the Omega Team, Tommy didn’t say a word.

He could only recognize Zac as the man who supposedly healed his injuries, but the other two were complete strangers to him.

When the group stopped in an expansive area surrounded by construction materials, Dante politely introduced himself to the teenagers as a "Specialist Warlock," followed by his two friends, who simply gave their names.

"I’m Jake, but you guys already knew that…" the teenager said.

"I’m Lina! I don’t think I ever got the chance to properly introduce myself," the girl followed up.

"I’m… Tommy," the redhead teenager said with apprehension.

"Thanks for saving us…" he whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear.

As the group was starting to feel more comfortable around the Omega Team, Dante began casting his spell to produce a Shadow Well, alerting the teenagers when they spotted the black column rising from the ground.

"Don’t worry, it’s not dangerous… Probably," Zac said to the teenagers to calm them down.

After the column with the obsidian bowl on top was fully erected, Dante raised his arm and squeezed his palm with force, drawing a bit of blood into the basin.

The teenagers widened their eyes with fear, but the lack of reaction from Megan and Zac made them slightly more accepting of the situation.

The warlock sensed the teenagers’ unease and apologized for showing them the process without asking if they were comfortable looking at blood.

"N-no worries! We are just a little surprised…" Jake replied.

Once Dante was finished pouring the blood from his hand into the bowl, a purple aura manifested on his arm and twirled around the shadow well, fusing with the blood and creating three tiny black crystals.

’All that blood is gone…!’ Tommy thought, inspecting the shadow well.

"What are those crystals?" Megan asked, noticing it was the first time she saw the warlock create them.

"It’s a ’soul shard,’" Dante replied.

As the warlock gave one of the black crystals to each of the teenagers, he explained that if they were ever in trouble, all they had to do was throw the crystal on the ground with force to shatter it.

It was a vague explanation, and none of them understood how a small crystal could protect them.

Nevertheless, they had already seen too many things that were hard to believe, so they didn’t have the mental capacity or the guts to keep questioning Dante about it.
