Well hopefully Sifr is able to posts on the Weekend.
Bro... I hope you're physically okay and that they didn't steal anything too valuable from you. Take your time as always, Sifr.
The unpleasant sounds of pain and agony echoed from the halls. For a person who didn't want to be labeled as an Umbralist, Ventura was certainly good at inspiring fear amongst the masses. The soldiers nearby were even quivering in their boots as they recovered from their initial skirmish. It is odd to see how they were struggling against Ventaura, but it could also be said that was how strong Ventaura was. Or perhaps it was the fear of an umbralist that weakened their hearts.

"It is nothing to be sad about. My former classmate chose this course of action, and what is happening now are the consequences of it." It wasn't atypical since he doubted Ventaura had any real friends or support in this facility. The only personal Chunji saw around Ventura was Otis, and he could hardly be called the bastion of friendship. "Even if we are told not to engage the enemy, we can still evacuate everyone to a safer place. From what I could see, Ventaura's last attack was quite devastating. It would not surprise me if someone was severely injured in the attack." Chunji looked over and opened the nearest door.

It was a room filled with alchemical equipment. Chunji entered and dipped his head back out. "You should gather yourself and a few others to rescue anyone in trouble. If I recall correctly, a hero not only fights evil but saves lives. I'll prepare a suitable space for the injured in this room." With that, Chunji closed the door and took a deep breath. Ideally, Chunji hoped that Ciara would head up to the next floor, but the superficial woman decided to flee for her own life.

"Dayin, I need your help." Once more, Chunji summoned his Adapa in front of him. "Prepare this room for the injured." Chunji flipped through a couple of hand signs and cast a spell.

"方向 八德 十六个目的 三十二种武器 六十四星" (One Path. Two Hands. Four Directions. Eight Virtues. Sixteen Purposes. Thirty-Two Weapons. Sixty-Four Stars.)

"九诈 蜕变" (Nine Deceptions: Transformation)

Finishing the sign at Monkey, Dayin transformed in front of him. From the faded smoke emerged a figure reminiscent of Chunji's own. Dayin stood before him as his carbon copy. A copy who could replicate even his own voice, judging by how Dayin tested its voice. A perfect doppelganger that Chunji needed. "Try to maintain the illusion, Dayin." Now, it was time to perform the spell on himself.

Chunji transformed himself into a rat. Dayin opened the door slightly to let him out. With due haste, Chunji made his way to the nearest staircase to his west. The chaos should have averted any eyes that would've gotten him caught in the halls. If Chunji were to ascend the stairs by himself, he would've peered onto the second floor with his Ethos.

He needed to get to Davil. Chunji needed to confirm his suspicions. The words that plagued his mind echoed in Chunji's head.

"The world cannot advance in this direction; this whole thing is a sham and a disgrace. Heroics will not win the day, nor will the trampled we know be redeemed. Meer was right - fury is our strength. We must abide by the old, for it is our only path."

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?
Ciara is not beating the allegations.
Well, according to the thread date, we haave officially hit our 1 year Anniversary. Congratulations everyone.
Man. Maybe Chunji should've been explicit about his warning.
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?
