BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77 Great Debuff
Nicole was the only teacher who was seriously involved in Luis\' missing case because she was the one that reported the case.
The first search group was mobilized by Van according to Kelvin\'s orders but one wouldn\'t be bluffing if they said they didn\'t do anything even though it looked like they did.
Van was watching from his two-storey quarter as Nicole rallied the few soldiers that they had in the school.
"Foolish girl, I was thinking of keeping you beside me but it turns out you will be trouble." He muttered.
\'Good luck finding two dead bodies.\'
Van wasn\'t really sure himself of the whereabouts of the two who had suddenly gone missing, but he believed that the demon messenger had dealt with them and probably their corpses were lying in the woods.
"Alright, I think that\'s the rest of you," Nicole said, looking at the army of about two dozen soldiers standing in front of her.
Nicole went on to explain what they were going to do today but as she was speaking she was interrupted by a group of four students who had just shown up from nowhere.
"What do you want?" Nicole said, turning to the students who happened to be her own students.
The group of four students comprised Ella along with Silvia as always and then Dylan and Ace.
Their reason for being there was just as Ella was going to state it.
"We want to help, ma," Ella said.
"Help with what?" Nicole asked, pretending not to know what she was talking about.
While Ella was talking with her teacher the two boys just couldn\'t keep their eyes off their teacher as their thoughts run wild.
\'I\'ve never seen her dressed like this before.\' Ace thought.
\'She looks wonderful like this.\' Dylan thought.
Nicole had always appeared with a black suit and skirt before the students but today she wasn\'t going to teach any class and was going for serious business.
She wore a black coat that seemed to hug her body a bit beneath that she had black trousers and a red shirt and instead of having her hair in a bun like she always did she had let it loose showing how truly golden her hair was.
Another thing that stood out about her was the pair of boots she had on which was black with a red line running through the sides and then she had her Katana blade sheathed around her waist something the students had never seen before.
\'I\'m just glad she\'s taking it seriously.\' Ace thought.
"I don\'t think you guys should come, things might get a bit dangerous," Nicole said immediately Ella stated that they wanted to help with the search.
"We talked about that before coming here ma but Luis is our friend and we just can\'t sit around doing nothing while he\'s in trouble," Ella said. "If a threat shows up we have a wonder warrior here to help us." Ella touched Silvia\'s hands and she turned away shy.
Nicole looked at her student\'s faces and it seemed like they were all seriously begging even though they weren\'t saying anything.
"Ok, but you have to stay close to the group." She said and the students nodded.
"Let\'s proceed." Nicole turned to the soldiers with a serious voice.
She led the way along with her students as the soldiers followed behind but in the course of moving to the forest one soldier had stayed behind.
"We are heading out now boss." He spoke into the tiny phone device he had in his hand.
"Ok," Van\'s voice responded through the speaker. "Just update me when they get close to the area."
"Ok boss." The soldier quickly put the device back in his pocket and then hurried to catch up with his mates.
"And then they will be in for a surprise," Van said and then took a sip from the liquor inside the cup on his table.

Luis thought that he would be able to get rid of this spider with his fire ability just as he did with the hounds but this fight was proving more difficult than he thought, every single one of his attempts in the effort to get rid of the spider had failed.
"Why don\'t you just die!" Luis screamed in frustration as he threw a fireball towards the spider which is easily avoided by crawling to the other side.
[ Fire points: 10/100 ]
Luis was already low on fire points but he still hadn\'t done anything to the spider yet.
A ball of webs was shot towards him which he quickly rolled out of the way to avoid.
This was the way it had been going for a while now, the spider wasn\'t strong physically so its main threat was its web which weakens its prey and makes them an easy target for it to get close.
Luis on the other hand didn\'t want to get close to the spider, he wanted to keep the distance between both of them while dealing with it but things weren\'t exactly going his way.
[ Fire points: 10/100 ]
\'It\'s going to be a while before I can use that with full power again.\'
Maybe if he was resting it would have been a few minutes but now that he was fighting it was going to take quite a while.
"How do you like a water blast?"
Luis shot out a jet stream of water towards the spider he expected it to dodge it but to his greatest surprise, the water hit the spider on target giving him the motivation to add more water pressure.
\'I don\'t think it will survive this.\'
[ Water points: 0/50 ]
Luis had used all his water points but he could say it was worth it because he could no longer see the spider.
\'That\'s strange, I should have gotten the quest complete message if the spider was dead.\'
A web shot out from below the strange terrain catching Luis off guard and hitting him on his leg.
[ Stats debuff ]
[ All stats has been reduced by (-10) ]
[ Debuff will last for 20 minutes ]
"No, no, no!"
[ Strength: 23(-10) ]
[ Stamina: 16(-10) ]
[ Agility 14(-10) ]
Luis could swear he could see the spider smiling as it revealed itself now.
With his reduced stat Luis felt like a large amount of power had left him, the only thing that still looked good was his strength but the other two were stats belonging to a baby.
Reduced stamina meant that Luis could easily get hit now and the spider could easily take care of him now but before the spider could get close an idea clicked in his head.
Putting the flaming sword back into its sheath Luis pulled out the demonic sword out from his inventory, he felt like falling just by holding the sword, the effects of the sword were packing quite a punch with his reduced stats.
[ (+2) stat points in Agility ]
Placing two stat points in his agility Luis got ready for his plan.
Immediately the spider shot another web at him; he raised the sword and blocked it.
\'I just pray this works.\'
Looking at the sword nothing was happening but then a white fluid began to grow on the sword, without wasting time Luis pointed it at the spider, the web of the spider was now doubled on the sword and was now heading towards the spider.
The spider couldn\'t do anything as the web hit it, covering it entirely.
Luis quickly rushed to the spider before it could get up.
"I need a little more strength to finish this quickly."
He found a part of the spider\'s leg that wasn\'t covered in the web and placed his hand on it.
[ 59/100 extra energy consumed ]
[ 100/100 extra energy consumed ]
Taking energy from the spider wasn\'t to gain more strength only but also to debuff the spider.
With the little boost, Luis got to work, reducing the spider into tiny bits before it could get up.
On destroying the spider Luis expected to see a quest Complete message first but that wasn\'t it.
[ Power drain has leveled up ]
[ User will now get 10% HP from each drain ]
[ 50/50 HP ]
\'My hp is back to max doesn\'t that mean…\'
[ Long term command has expired ]
"What the?"
The system was always there to confirm his thoughts.
