If Chunji is able to distract the guards that is escorting him, can he hide somewhere for a brief moment? Also where are the stairs located?

Iris Ascendis

Ciara is not beating the allegations.

Iris Ascendis

Well, according to the thread date, we haave officially hit our 1 year Anniversary. Congratulations everyone.

Iris Ascendis

Man. Maybe Chunji should've been explicit about his warning.

Iris Ascendis

So, that was the Guard's conclusion. Chunji acknowledged and refused the Guard's suggestion in his mind. He had hoped that the Guard would allow him in a little further, but Chunji wasn't hopeful for this outcome. "I understand. Regardless, I feel it is necessary as both a student and a peer to my classmates to see the duel. It is other disrespectful-" Then the commotion became loud and diverted Chunji's attention away from the scene.

The guard answered Chunji's confusion. "Ventura..." Chunji dropped any respectful honorific when Ciara's name came up. His already low opinion of her had dropped her below the requirement needed to look at her in a neutral light. A rare sigh escaped from Chunji. He made a mistake in trusting his peers. Bonds weren't forged in days, after all. "I see. In that case, allow me to participate in her arrest." Chunji petitioned the Guard. "She was my classmate, and I feel responsible for her irrational decisions." At first, it seemed like an appeal to emotion.

"It is also my duty as a student of Wingram Academy to extinguish those of dark who threaten the peace of the Vaalin Union. Even if I am not a hero now, allow me to bear witness to the subjugation of an Umbralist. It will be one of many steps I will take in my tenure as a student." With his plea finished, Chunji looked at the Guard to confirm his response.

In all honesty, he couldn't care less about what happened to Ciara. While he did find responsibility for his part of actions, her every action up until now did nothing but label her as nothing more than a boar. He would take personal accountability when his message came to light. "My Ethos allows me to track down whoever I see. It would no doubt pierce the veils of darkness that would arise in the coming fight." Chunji gave a reason why he should participate. This stenography on his Ethos was needed. Chunji had revealed the full extent of his powers, but the Guard wouldn't have allowed them to be utilized.

If he was allowed, Chunji would immediately activate his Ethos. He'd immediately focus on Ciara and especially on Davil. Anything else was obscured to his sight. The last thing he wanted was to get involved in more trouble. Chunji would follow the Guard to where Ciara was at.

Chunji when he arrives on the scene without context:


Hmmmm, maybe I shouldn't have contacted them after all.

Edit:
@Nanaya

Also what would happen if Dayin tracked Davil's Adapa again while inside the Iris Record? Would it only go through the ground floor?

Iris Ascendis

Chunji nodded before looking back at his Adapa. Someone had responded to his message. Anticipation soon turned into disappointment when he realized only one of the five recipients responded to his message. What made things worse was that only Hildegrunde answered to him. Were Ciara, Iraleth, and Otis not concerned? Especially the latter two? A frown graced Chunji’s features before smoothing out as he looked back to his escort.

Be careful would be the message Chunji would emphasize in his reply to Hildegrunde.

"In truth, I had no interest in spectating a clash between my teammates." Not that anyone notified Chunji that it was happening in the first place. "After the Attunement Ceremony, I headed to the infirmary to check on my classmates." Chunji needed to be careful. If Chunji says one wrong word, he might be placed in a disadvantageous position. "While I couldn't visit one of them, I did visit the other. Davil Wund. However, once I entered his room, he was gone. The only trace of his being would be several empty potions that contained no prescription. What was more concerning was the receptionist didn't even realize he was gone, nor was he logged as leaving the infirmary." Chunji gauged the escort's reaction.

"So, I investigated his whereabouts. All I could find was that he went into an alley far from here and some signs of leyline activity. Which lead me to some fears." The subtle movements of Chunji's eyes gave off an emotion of frustration. "You see, the reason why Davil Wund was injured was because of our Professor's lack of safety measures; not only was my peer hurt when he was teleported inside the Overcharged Leyline, but he was transferred into a different leyline when the Professor dispelled it." There was a curiosity about whether his words managed to hit home with Alto.

There was a pause in Chunji's next words. "My fear then was that my classmate had been caught in another leyline accident and had been spirited away elsewhere." While he was uncertain about the implications of his next actions, Chunji needed to ensure Davil was safe, even if it meant that it would result in expulsion. "With no lead, I decided to track Davil's Adapa with my own. Which led me here, to the Iris Record." Now, he wanted to ask the guard the main question. "Tell me, did Davil Wund go pass you to enter inside. And if so, where is he now? I am concerned for his health."

Was this a mistake? Chunji didn't know. He could hear some commotion off in the distance, but Chunji ignored it. Surely, his classmates were rational and didn't decide to rush up the stairs themselves.

@Erode @Sifr

Are either of your characters going to reply back to Chunji's message? I'm considering of making a post soon.

Iris Ascendis

Damn, that's rough. Hope your situation gets better.

Iris Ascendis

Say is @Sifr still alive? I know they've haven't posted in a while due to personal obligations, but they were on when he got @'d around two times.
