Chapter 31 - Death of the trio and events

At the site where the Odin factory used to be, the drone-like device continued scanning the area for a while; however, after a while, as if it had found nothing, it suddenly stopped and departed the location.

Eventually, a month passed, and Ragna was at home preparing for school. He couldn't help but think about the events that occurred during the previous month.

After the incident at the Odin factory, Ragna was naturally considered to be a suspect by everyone; the news of the death of the trio had sent the whole academy into shock.

It was like a wild storm, as it was barely twenty four hours before the media outlet announced the death of a famous billionaire blacksmith only son.

Appearing on the lips of every media outlet.

However, that was what had been sold to the media and public; in reality, no one had been able to confirm the death of the trio. It was even more shocking because, besides the uniforms and gear they wore out that day, no one could find a trace of their corpses. 

Hansen's father had vowed to destroy whoever was responsible for the death of his only child.

According to the press, there were rumors of special awakeneedinvestigative members currently searching for the whereabouts of their killers. The normal authorities came for Ragna while the special team followed the trail of a popular criminal organization, Crimson, who were said to use teenagers as a sacrifice to their demonic gods.

They asked if he had shown up on that. He told them yes, but when he arrived, the place was already destroyed, and he didn't see anyone, so he left.

Ragna was taken to the station and then a special lab, to check if he was telling the truth. Of course, during those events, no one bothered to give a damn about him, as everyone thought he was the culprit.

Eventually, the test result was proven to be true, and it was truly proven that he was innocent. The incident at the cafeteria also came up, and he was asked another round of questions, and he was asked how he was able to show such a level of strength, given that he was a failed awakener, which he admitted to later reawakening his ability after he tested.

While he was being questioned, Hansen father also gave a statement that confirmed he wasn't the culprit, as for what the statement was, it was that he had granted Hansen and his friends a body suit that only a rank 4 awakener could damage, so there was no way Ragna would have been able to harm them except he was a rank 5 awakener.

The normal authorities had also admitted to using a technological device that could scan the surroundings of a crime scene, and the clothes of a deceased person, to display the vents that occurred within the last twenty-four hours, but for some reason not only did it not work but the device began to malfunction the moment it scanned the clothes they last wore.

This made them believe it was the handiwork of Crimson, a professional criminal organization.

Eventually, he was allowed to go back, with a last sentence.

"Be thankful someone had attested to your innocence!"

"Who was it?"

Ragna, for a few moments, was silent. After he heard what the officer said, he couldn't help but ask. Since his family had abandoned him, he obviously couldn't say it was them.

Just as he was wondering who the person was, a calm voice resounded behind him.

"I did."

Miss Levy said, as she walked over calmly. Her testifying for him made Ragna quite surprised, the officer nodded respectfully at the sight of her.

For some reason, Miss Levy's presence seemed to dissolve the whole issue of him having any link to the incident. After she vouched for him, he was immediately allowed to go, after a written statement.

He was also considered to be a rank 1 awakener after he was tested, so logic said there was no way he could have harmed Hansen who was already rank 2 with a body gear of rank 4.

After leaving the interrogation room, Miss Levy immediately left, leaving behind a few words.

"Come to my office tomorrow after class."

She stuttered a bit, as she stole a glance at him with a slight flush expression, before walking into an all black car.

Ragna simply nodded. He didn't know why she was helping him, but he appreciated it. As for why she was helping him, he thought he would get to know by tomorrow.

At the same time, his mind couldn't help but go back to what happened after he killed the trio. The events that transpired that evening when he absorbed their abilities, brought a new discovery.

Just as he was done killing them, he immediately got several notification messages from the system. The moment he said yes, almost as if their corpses were being absorbed, Ragna watched as their corpses disintegrated into a sickly green ball of souls and entered his mouth.

Which was the reason why the technological device malfunctioned when it tried to scan the clothes they last wore that day, because it was simply the system interfering with it.

After thinking for a while, Ragna soon remember that he was still under punishment so he needed to hurry up to school, and began to run, as for who Miss levy was, he could only come up with a few guess, one of them was that that she was definitely part of some powerful organization of awakeners based on the rumors he had heard before.

Seeing how her presence alone had dissolved the entire situation, it confirmed his guesses.
