Investigations and Revelations

Two weeks had passed since the day of the duel. Alex was attending his usual daily classes.

As Alex was walking towards his next class, he noticed some of the professors whispering and casting glances in his direction. He couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. It wasn't the first time he had experienced such behavior from the staff, but after the duel with Tyler, the tension seemed to be more palpable.

He tried to shake off his unease and focus on his studies. However, he couldn't help but notice the tension among the students as well. He overheard some of them talking about Tyler and how he had been absent from classes since the duel. Alex couldn't help but wonder if the professors had taken any action against Tyler, given his use of dark magic during the duel.

Despite the distractions, Alex tried his best to concentrate on his classes. Elemental magic was his favorite, and he was determined to excel in it. He listened intently as the professor explained the intricacies of controlling the elements, taking mental notes to practice later.

After class, Alex decided to pay a visit to the library to do some research on dark magic. He needed to understand it better, especially since he suspected Tyler had used it during their duel. As he perused the books, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched.

Just as he was about to leave, one of the professors approached him. "Alex, may I have a word with you?" the professor asked in a serious tone. Alex felt a lump form in his throat. Was this about the duel or his suspicions about Tyler?

As they stepped into an empty classroom, the professor got straight to the point. "We need to talk about your powers, Alex. They are quite impressive for a student of your age and level. We need to investigate if there's anything unusual about them." Alex felt a chill run down his spine. Was he being accused of something?

The professor must have seen the look of shock on Alex's face, as he quickly added, "Please don't be alarmed, Alex. We just want to ensure the safety of all our students. You have nothing to worry about if everything is as it should be." Alex nodded, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease as he left the classroom.

It seemed like the aftermath of the duel was far from over, and Alex couldn't help but wonder what other surprises awaited him.

After Alex had a conversation with the professor about an upcoming investigation, he proceeded to his next class on runes.

As Alex walked into the Runes classroom, he noticed that Tyler was already seated at the back of the room. The tension between them was palpable, and Alex tried his best to ignore Tyler's presence. He took his seat in the front row and opened his notebook to take notes.

The runes professor, a stern-looking woman with short gray hair, began her lecture on ancient rune inscriptions. Alex tried his best to focus on the lesson, but his mind kept wandering to the upcoming investigation. He wondered what evidence they had against him and if he would be able to clear his name.

During the rune class, the professor began a new lecture on a type of rune that has a powerful effect on the space element. She explained that the space element is one of the most difficult elements to control because it involves the manipulation of time and distance. However, with the use of this rune, it would be easier to control space magic.

The rune was called "Chronorune," and it has the ability to manipulate time and space around the user. With the use of this rune, the user can teleport themselves or objects to any location they desire, regardless of distance. It can also slow down or speed up time within a certain area.

The professor warned the students that the Chronorune was a very valuable and rare rune, and it should only be used by experienced mages. She also explained that the rune was heavily regulated by the Academy and was only given to students who had demonstrated mastery over space magic.

Alex listened intently to the lecture, fascinated by the possibilities of the chronorune. He knew that mastering the space element was essential for his future plans, and he was determined to learn everything he could about it.

As the class progressed, Alex noticed that Tyler kept looking at him with a smug grin on his face. It was as if Tyler knew something that Alex didn't. Alex couldn't shake off the feeling that Tyler was somehow involved in his father's murder and the investigation against him.

After the class ended, Tyler approached Alex with a sly smile on his face. "I hear you're under investigation," he said.

Alex glared at him. "So are you. What do you want, Tyler?"

"I just thought I'd let you know that I'll be keeping an eye on you," Tyler said. "You're not as innocent as you seem."

Alex clenched his fists. "Stay away from me, Tyler, and stay out of my way."

Tyler chuckled. "We'll see about that."

Alex watched as Tyler walked away, a sense of unease washing over him. He knew that he had to be careful around Tyler, but he also couldn't shake off the feeling that Tyler knew something about his father's murder. Alex made a mental note to keep a close eye on Tyler and to gather as much information as he could.

In the office of the headmaster, the esteemed leader of the academy, Master Darian, sat at his desk reading through some documents related to the ongoing investigation of Tyler. The investigation had taken a surprising turn, revealing that Tyler's family was incredibly wealthy and powerful, with deep roots in the world of dark magic.

As Master Darian read through the report, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew all too well the dangers that came with dabbling in the dark arts, and the fact that Tyler's family was involved only added to his concern.

According to the report, Tyler had been using a forbidden spell during the duel with Alex, a spell that could only be learned through dark magic. The investigation also revealed that Tyler's family had a long history of involvement with dark magic and that they had been connected to a number of unsavory incidents in the past.

Master Darian knew that he had to act quickly to ensure the safety of his students and the academy as a whole. He ordered a thorough investigation of Tyler's family and their connections to the world of dark magic and vowed to do everything in his power to prevent any further harm from coming to his students.

The headmaster leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the pages of the report on Alex's investigation. The report detailed the interviews with his professors, classmates, and even some of the academy's staff. All of them reported similar observations: Alex's magical abilities were far beyond what they would expect from a student of his age and experience.

The headmaster shook his head in disbelief. He had never seen such a rapid improvement in a student's abilities before. There were even rumors circulating that Alex had somehow acquired forbidden knowledge or made a deal with dark forces to gain his power.

But as the headmaster read on, he began to see a different picture. The report mentioned that Alex had been practicing magic day and night, pushing himself to the limits and beyond. His dedication and hard work had paid off, allowing him to master the intricacies of rune magic and other difficult disciplines in a short amount of time.

The headmaster couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in Alex's achievements, despite the rumors and suspicions surrounding him. He knew that the academy had a duty to ensure that its students were not dabbling in dangerous magic, but he also recognized the value of dedication and hard work.

He made a mental note to meet with Alex and discuss his progress, to offer guidance and support in his magical studies. The headmaster closed the report and leaned forward, ready to tackle the rest of his duties as head of the academy.
