Transmigrated With A Resolution System

Obsidian looked to his left and then to his right. It felt uncomfortable speaking to him under such circumstances. There was a slight chance that they could be watched or caught.

Nodding his head towards Lank's room, he signaled it was best to go in there.

With Gia present, they could put it up as males talk and needed to be excused.

"In there?" Nix asked for confirmation.

Obsidian nodded and walked over to door 2.

This forced Nix to deactivate his passive gift and inevitably follow him to the door.

Knock!

"You've got to be kidding me." Nix facepalmed and pulled on his hair lightly.

What was supposed to be a one-on-one discussion had turned into a group meeting.

Obsidian's lips raised as he heard a click from the door.

Lank took a peek and lowered his head, "what do you want?"

Obsidian grabbed a hold of Nix and pulled him into view. "It isn't what I want but what we need to know."

Lank slammed the door in their faces.

Nix turned back his head stiffly as he shot a glare at Obsidian.

Obsidian let go of Nix and took several steps back. "I'm sure he had a reasonable explanation for this..."

Lowering his voice, he placed the back of his palm at the corner of his lips so he could tactfully whisper. "He had been curious when you went ballistic in the arena. It's better if I know, he knows–he already has a faint idea of your other gift."

Folding his hands, he rolled his eyes to the words that slipped out of Obsidian's lips. "Even if what you say is true, I needed time to do so myself, he's my friend and I'm sure he must have been a bit shocked as to what had happened then."

Obsidian shook his head, he had been with Lank when things unfolded, "shocked is an understatement, you should have seen his–"

Click!

"Do come in," Lank said with a grin, pushing out Gia.

Gia stared at the two and bowed her head and dashed towards Nix's room. "Lumina, please open up!"

Click!

Yawning, Lumina scratched her eyes and smacked her lips. "What is it?" She questioned with sleep in her eyes.

Pushing her in, Gia closed the door behind them.

Obsidian and Nix had their mouths gaped open at what had just happened.

Turning their attention back to Lank, Nix couldn't help but speak first.

"What did you say to her? No... No... What transpired between you two since Sid knocked." Nix pointed in the direction in which Gia was.

Lank had a big plastered smile all the while and sweat dropped at the question directed at him. He had been trying to act normal since they came back from the arena, but seeing Nix brought all those hidden feelings to light.

Pulling them in, he locked the door. "What the hell do you two think you're doing?!" He hissed and folded his arms.

Obsidian and Nix shared a confused look at Lank's question. They were the ones who had wanted to see him–especially forced by Obsidian to meet with Lank.

Nix frowned and glared at Obsidian. "I never wanted this anyway, it was better to take things slow."

"Take what slow?" Lank cut in with a raise of his brows.

The corner of Nix's lips raised to the question, he had wanted to ask a specific question at the onset when he had seen Obsidian trying to sneak back and the only thought that crossed his mind was payback.

"Sid, would you like to explain to the two of us why you were sneaking back? You seemed to have accomplished a bit of whatever you were planning."

"What?!" Obsidian gasped, taken aback by such an upfront question.

"W-who said anything about sneaking anywhere?" He tried to defend.

Lank facepalmed, "you suck at lying, for some cool feral your ears flatten when you are caught."

Obsidian sweat dropped, he had thought this sort of discussion would be more of Nix related and not focused on him.

"Since we are all here, why don't we discuss all that needs answers, starting with yours," Nix said as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Letting out a sigh, "fine..."

Lowering his voice as he spoke, he deepened his voice to set the mood.

"Have you ever felt like you're out of place?" He began vaguely, expecting some sort of reply.

He wasn't going to narrate without having some sort of discussion.

'I am out of place, not meant to be here in fact.' Nix reminisced on all that had happened to him over just a few months.

Lank on the other hand had always felt out of place ever since the moment he couldn't place a pin on his origin or family. His abilities also couldn't allow him to pinpoint his roots.

"Yes?" Nix and Lank chorused in a bit of confusion on where he was headed.

Obsidian nodded with a smile, he could already guess their response, but what he was driving at was much more complicated than he thought it would be.

"I had been here longer than most members but there was one thing I had always thought to be true–when the time was right, I would be duly chosen to become one of the core members just like my teacher–Mr. Zhao." He explained, feeling downhearted by how stupid he was.

"After the recent death of one of the core members and student under my teacher, things started to go downhill. She had been so precious to him that I was considered second to her–"

Nix felt as though he knew who Obsidian was talking about and had to ask. "Her name and cause of death?"

Obsidian raised a brow to the impatient attitude displayed by Nix, "Aer, but her cause of death was disclosed to only the core members."

A flash of memory coursed through Lank and Nix's thoughts. It was yet another piece of information that Mr. Gaviel had gathered as he spoke with Mr. Zhao.

It was vivid like they were there at the scene when it had happened, it had traumatized Mr. Zhao so much that he had tried to push the blame onto Mr. Gaviel.

"Are you two alright?" Obsidian asked in worry as he witnessed their faces pale as they shared a look.

Shaking their heads, they brought back their thoughts from wandering, and were graced with the information at its peak.

There was no denying it, it was the very person Obsidian was talking about. Nix's heart thumped in guilt at being there and witnessing her death personally.

He couldn't pull his thoughts away from remembering what had transpired between them, how he had almost gotten the needed information from her before her pendant gave way like a ticking time bomb.

This was the only good thing he could get that Obsidian wasn't considered a core member of the organization.

"We're good," Nix spoke up for both of them and gave subtle signals to Lank to be quiet about the little details they would get if it were connected to Mr. Gaviel.

"It turns out that they had found a quick replacement for her like she meant nothing to any of them," Obsidian recalled through gritted teeth.

Raising his head, "I had heard she was from your academy and was specially selected by Mr. Zhao."

Nix and Lank's brows furrowed, it was one thing to say the person was from their academy, but it was another to be vague about it when there were tens of thousands of students in the academy.

"You would have to be more specific." Nix folded his hands.

"She had her black wavy hair that ombres into a faded blue and had pale purple eyes–"

Nix and Lank's eyes widened in shock of disbelief, if they could somehow guess the remaining, only then could they be sure.

"Wears traditional clothing like she's preparing for some sort of ceremony?" Lank cut in with a hiss.

Obsidian nodded his head, surprised by the detail of what he had wanted to recount, "yes, how did you–"

"Can shape shift into various animals that make you want to kill her for the fun of it?" Nix added with his eyes hooded and antipathy seething off him as he remembered the one female he could never show sympathy for.

The room fell silent, Nix was so lost in thought that he had failed to realize the look he was given by the others.

Lank had his mouth gaped open, he had remembered when he was ordered by Nix to teach Ayanami a lesson, but the murderous intent displayed had taken him by surprise.

"Uhhh..." Obsidian stressed the word to break the silence. "Why do I feel like you two vividly know this female?"

Lank had wanted to speak up before Nix could say something stupid but was too late.

"She's a snake that needs her limbs cut slowly in sections and thrown in the ever-burning flames!" Nix hissed and his eyes glowed with his flames reflecting in his eyes.
