Chapter 245: Chapter 245:Wonderland [5]
Parrying the incoming rocks with his sword, the miniature Liam relentlessly charged towards the top of the volcano.
On the other hand, Ruby just sat there, pretending to be distracted by the volcano's sudden eruption.
...they are some shit at acting.
To be fair, it's not like they expected to be suddenly shrunk to the size of a smurf and forced to act out a historical event.
Liam, now approaching the top of the volcano, spotted Ruby and increased his pace.
"GO HERO!"
"YEAH BEAT THAT DEMON'S ASS!"
Looking at the crowd of students in front of me, I almost couldn't believe it.
Less than ten minutes ago, they were acting like model students to please the recruiters in the class.

And now?
They were acting like a student section at a college football game!
The recruiters, however, did not seem to care as the students yelled out and cheered as they interestedly watched the sculpture with Liam and Ruby inside.
Professor Robinson, noticing everyone's reactions, wore a smile on his face as he leaned down.
"Look closely now...this is where the humans defeat the demon and reclaim the Hajin Mountain Range!"
Liam, now only meters away from Ruby, dashed forward... and Ruby, playing her part to a tee, just stood still while pretending to act shocked at the volcano's eruption.
And just as Liam's shitty fake and plastic miniature sword was going to touch Ruby... I increased the pressure I was putting on the table with my hands.
*RUMBLE*
The table, leaning to the right from having too much pressure exerted on it, immediately flung Liam and Ruby to the right.
Luckily, Ruby flew over the volcano's opening, tumbling down the volcano and landing at its base... but Liam was not so lucky.
Smiling as Liam flew in the air, I muttered.
"STRIKE!"
Liam got flung to the right, and coincidentally, the volcano's opening was to the right of him.
Not fully used to his body, Liam couldn't adjust his trajectory by moving his legs... so he hopelessly watched as his body entered the opening of the volcano.
*SPLASH*
The next second, Liam plunged into the fake lava within the volcano, causing a massive splash to appear.
The recruiters, seeing this, immediately began taking down notes on the clipboard.
What notes they were taking... I was unsure.
But, from the way their pens furiously danced across the paper without wasting a single second, it had to be important, right?
Professor Robinson, his grin now transformed into one of horror, stood shell-shocked for a moment before regaining his composure.
Using his hand as a fishing rod, Professor Robinson submerged his hand in the lava and desperately moved it around.
Liam didn't need to breathe underwater or under any substance; his divine blue hue allowed him to create a small subspace with air anywhere.
Imaging Liam, standing drenched in a small pocket of air that he had created with his blue hue, I desperately resisted the urge to break into laughter.
Finally finding Liam, Professor Robinson clenched his hands before removing his palm from the fake lava, revealing Liam's miniature figure, who has now colored red from the fake lava.
With his other hand, the professor scooped up Ruby before placing her next to the drenched Liam.
Taking out his wand, Professor Robinson fumbled with it for a second before casting a spell on both Ruby and Liam.
The next second, Liam and Ruby were back to human size, standing on the table where the sculpture was.
Looking up, I grinned upon seeing Liam's entire uniform covered a tomato red with substances dripping from his body.
I guess.. that's enough payback for now.
He had completely disrupted my plans by resisting the sleeping gas, and he made Han and Jin lose the battle royale, making them only get second instead of first.
Of course, I had to get my revenge on him!
Professor Robinson hesitated for a moment and awkwardly said to Liam.
"you're free to use the restroom..."
Then, after a moment of alternating gazing between us and the sculpture, Professor Robinson sighed before announcing.
"Class is dismissed early. Please make sure to do the homework before the next class starts."
"That is all today; you folks may leave."
Clenching my fist in excitement, I caught up to Han and Jin, who were already out the door when the professor said, "Dismissed early."
I had just scored us a free period!
As I was about to say something to the two boys, I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder, causing me to slow down.
Turning around, I was unsurprised to see Ruby staring at me with an amused expression.
Grabbing my right hand's wrist, Ruby sighed and said.
"That's a pretty clumsy hand you have. One wrong move and I could have been just like Liam..."
Shaking my head, I said.
"Don't worry, it was all calculated!"
Chuckling, Ruby glanced around for a second before asking.
"The others are getting a new uniform from our headquarters for Liam, so I'm free. You got any plans?"
Thinking for a moment, I weighed my options.
The first option is to plan for the insane crime that I would have to pull off tomorrow.
Not only would I have to distract the main cast... and the principal, I would have to sneak into the principal's vault and steal, which had never been done before.
It was like robbing Fort Knox, but instead of military soldiers defending, there was a top-ranker who was capable of destroying my entire bloodline and existence in less than a second...
But they do say that the harder it is, the more rewarding the reward is!
Imagining the treasures stored in the vault was all the motivation I needed to keep going.
Needless to say, I needed to plan to make sure everything went right.
And, magically, I had been granted a free period the day before the robbery!
Was this the world's way of telling me that I should plan?
On the other hand... I could walk with Ruby instead of planning.
Closing my eyes, I glanced at Ruby one last time before making the obvious decision.
