Himuro, Jonathan, and Yun Zhe were smiling with their awkward smiles as they walked out of the closet. The cat was let out of the bag and they sheepishly walked with Jane Watts.
Holding their hands above their head the group walked out of the room as if they were criminals being walked into their cell. Jane Watts lightly tapped her finger on her forearm as she let out a 'hmph'.
"It's already lights out, were you not aware of it? Also, inviting boys into your room? The two of you have a lot of explaining to do to your Managers." Jane Watts delicately reprimanded them. She didn't even bother raising her own voice since she knew that it was the Manager's job to discipline their Disciples.
She was just a foreman of sorts who happened to be assigned to uphold the rules of the dorms. Besides, she didn't catch them doing something unsightly so she didn't have the leverage to scold them.
While she led the three boys out of there, she noticed that Nanako and Mitsuka didn't bother getting out of their sheets to see her off. Furrowing her brows, she found it rather suspicious that they remained in their bed and she just had to go back inside to recheck the area.
Who knows, there may be another boy on the loose!
Once again, she checked the restroom. This time, she was mindful enough to check behind the curtain of the bathtub. To her relief, she didn't see anyone there. If she saw anything, her soul would've jumped out of her body and she'd have punched whatever it was on the other side.
Jane Watts doesn't deal well with surprises, and surprises don't deal well with her either. One time another guard tried to catch him off-guard and she punched him before she screamed her heart out. The punch immediately broke the guard's nose.
That's why after this, she had to roam around the boys' dorms as well. The other guard was taking a break due to a broken nose... which was well-deserved since he brought it upon himself in the first place.
In any case, now that Jane Watts had checked the restroom, she opted to check under the bed. There were no monsters under there, much to her relief, nor were there signs of people.
When she stood up, that's when she noticed that Mitsuka actually pulled her blanket over until it reached her eyes. It was obvious that she was covering something. Once again, Jane Watts gave her the look and she suspiciously held onto the hems of the blanket as if her life depended on it.
Nanako also did the same, but there were no figures under Nanako's blanket, just her own.
However, as for Mitsuka, there was a figure of a man right beside her. Of course, it was only normal for Jane Watts to question what was behind the blanket. As far as she knows, it could be a boy or someone else.
"Um, lady," Jane Watts called out since she had no idea what Mitsuka's name was. "Would you mind if you pull down your blanket? I need to see what's that beside you." She asked.
"N-nothing! Just air," Mitsuka called out, shaking her head as she held down the blanket even tighter. The blanket squirmed, and Jane Watts was pretty sure that there really was a person beside her. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Meanwhile, Satoshi was really beside Mitsuka. For a moment, he thought that he'd be safe since the other three were already caught. There was no way Jane Watts would check under the blankets since she didn't notice that something was amiss.
Then again, Mitsuka just had to act guilty. That's why Jane Watts grew suspicious of her, retracing her footsteps as she confirmed what was under the blanket.
"Blanket? Wait, I just got an idea." Satoshi said to himself. It was a totally different idea for when he thought of using Ghast.
With this, no one would even detect his presence... or so that's what Satoshi said to himself.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Satoshi summoned his familiar, Cloak of Invisibility, commanding it to cover his whole body as he jumped out of there.
"Please, can you just put the blanket up? I don't have time for this." Jane Watts pleaded. And she was telling the truth. She still had to check the entire right wing where the boys' dorms were located. Now she was beginning to regret ever punching the other guard when he played her for a fool.
Mitsuka adamanatly refused, violently shaking her head as she rejected Jane Watts's offer. Meanwhile, Jane Watts was already sure that there was really someone under the blanket.
"Please, young lady, just show it to me and I'll be on my way. Otherwise, I'd have to bring this straight to your Manager and we can settle things from there." She lightly threatened. But she never raised her voice towards her.
"All right, all right!" Mitsuka said. She was fairly certain that the fiasco would end with a punishment for her so she decided to just come clean with it.
Besides, Satoshi didn't signal anything to her so he was probably okay with it,
Now that Jane Watts got her cooperation, she crossed her arms and waited for Mitsuka to come clean. From the gap in the doorway, Himuro, Jonathan, and Yun Zhe peeked in since they were sure that Satoshi would get caught this time.
Inwardly, they celebrated since they'd all be caught. It would be unfair if only three of them were caught and punished, right?
Then again, they won't sell out Satoshi because they upheld their brotherhood. No one would rat each other out, even if their lives depended on it... well, not really. It depends.
Closing her eyes and hoping that Satoshi would concoct some sort of invisible potion and drink it, Mitsuka slowly pulled the blanket down, revealing...
... nothing! There was nothing under the blanket!
"What?!" Jane Watts exclaimed. She's also a superhuman so her enhanced senses should've detected someone once she focused as hard as she could.
But to her surprise, there really was no one! Impossible!
On the other side, Nanako started chuckling. Soon, Mitsuka played along with the chuckle. For a moment back there, she was also shocked that Satoshi couldn't be found anywhere. And yet she could still feel his weight on the bed.
"I told you, ma'am, it's just my superpower hehhe~ I got you~ teehee~" Mitsuka teased , causing Jane Watts to redden as she turned away. She couldn't believe that Mitsuka really did her like that.
Then again, it was a good joke so she wasn't at all offended by it. Well, more than anything, she felt embarrassed.
"All right. The two of you, just go back to sleep." She instructed after clearing her throat and regaining her composure. The moment she faced the door, she noticed that the three boys were actually peering through the gap, and she felt even more embarrassed.
'Don't tell me... they saw all that?!' She exclaimed in her mind. At this point, she just wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it due to how ashamed she was.
Stomping her foot, she stormed out the room and pointed at the three to follow her. She'd lead them straight into the boys' dorm and then do her rounds over there. She'd had enough patroling on the left wing.
...
Creak~
When the doors closed, Nanako and Mitsuka jumped out of their bed and they started looking around. There was no way Satoshi just disappeared out of thin air! Moreover, they didn't even sense anything. He never activated any skill, nor did he use any superpower.
His presence was right there, and then it disappeared in a snap of finger, gone with the wind as if he was spirited away to another dimension.
"Satoshi, Satoshi, pspsps~" Mitsuka called out as she checked under the bed, and then on the bed. Satoshi's weight was still there.
She then touched the empty space where Satoshi was. To her surprise, he was still there. It's just that they couldn't see or sense him at all.
"Satoshi? What happened to you? Oh, no~ are you all right?" Mitsuka asked, touching Satoshi everywhere as he started squirming.
"Ah! He might be using a technique which would erase his presence. Still... it's pretty cool, even us Disciples couldn't even detect you, Satoshi." Nanako commented, complimenting his ability.
"How did you do that, Satoshi?" Mitsuka asked.
As if on cue, Satoshi reappeared on the bed as he recalled his Cloak of Invisibility. To their surprise, he really was still there, just undetectable.
"It's a trade secret." Satoshi responded as he hopped out of the bed.
"Whoa, to think that there's a skill like that. How did you learn that, Satoshi? Is that your superpower?" Mitsuka asked. "By the way, my superpower is really air. Just air."
"And mine's... well, you'll figure it out by tomorrow." Nanako chimed in.
"Thank you for the good time, I hope we can have another get-together like this soon." Satoshi said. He was trying too hard to maintain his poker face after that accidental lip touch with Mitsuka.
It was his time to exit, and to their surprise, a dimensional portal appeared in front of Satoshi. They didn't even detect him use any ability, nor did he expend any energy to summon a dimensional portal.
"What?!" Mitsuka and Nanako exclaimed as Satoshi waved his hand before he jumped into the dimensional portal.
(The dimensional portal was thanks to Ghast who summoned it for him.)
...
As soon as Satoshi hopped out of the dimensional portal, he was in their room. Fortunately, he checked their room number before they headed to the girls' room.
And just in time, Himuro, Jonathan, and Yun Zhe walked into the room. Their eyes bulged out of their sockets when they saw Satoshi in the room waiting for them.
"Guys, where have you been? I've been waiting for all of you." Satoshi excitedly greeted, welcoming them into their room.
