The boys looked at the images now on the board. The others found out what happened during the entirety of the meeting, and Isaiah spied on. They were surprised to see how much info Isaiah was able to get from there. The most shocking news that the other boys, apart from Hope, got was that the teachers knew about the hooded figure, but what shocked Hope the most was that other Academies were already taken over by the hooded figures.
"Looking at the video footage again, it seems that only the teachers who are involved with developing magic and transformation are there; the only exception is Prof Gabriel, being the history teacher." Said Marc while replaying and pausing the video to look for any additional bits of info he could get from it.
"From experience, you do not want to be on the other side of his gun," said Isaiah with an annoyed face, seeing how close he was to dying from that one shot.
"Nah, bro, I could tank that hit, no problem your just weak!" boasted Jash proudly, mocking Isaiah even if he didn't know how powerful the blast would actually be. Seeing this, Isaiah got a bit annoyed with Jash. and punched Jash in the side, slightly hurting the dragon boy's body. causing a small fight between the two.
"Guys, come on, stop fighting, guys," said Marv with a tired expression, knowing that he would have to use his magic to hold them down.
"Just let the two tire themselves eventually; the two idiots shall tire themselves and pause the fight to sit down," said Hope, also annoyed at the two. Then Kian tapped on Marv's shoulder before whispering to him, "Just do something if they start using their magic and transformation in the fight," telling Marv what to do just in case the small fight got worse over time. After that, the 3 continued to listen to Marc, letting the two fight it out.
"Now for the most important part of what Isaiah got from his spying," said Marc, pausing for the reveal. Marv and Kian were excited about what they found, while Hope was just calm with his legs crossed in his fancy chair that nearly looked like a throne, and was eating a snack. After Marc continued talking.

"We finally have a name for what the group of hooded figures is called." The others were shocked at what he said.
"Then what is this group called?" asked Kian, getting a bit impatient with waiting.
"They are called The Cult of Dicion," said Marc, pointing at a newly added Label for the hooded figures on the board.
After a few minutes of silence, Marv said, "So that's a bit anti-climactic, isn't it, since none of us know what this group is." Trying to break the ice, Marc responded, "That's true, none of my AI searching bots could find anything on this cult." Looking at a hologram showing the results of Bots search on the net. shocking, even the two boys fighting, causing them to start listening
"But there's one thing we aren't talking about," said Isaiah, still tired and gasping while talking. And stumbling, eventually leaning on a kitchen counter. The others turned their heads, shocked that they didn't have to stop the two from continuing the fight. They also saw Jash sitting down on the floor, leaning on one of the bookshelves in the room.
"And what could that possibly be?" said Hope, having an eyebrow raised. After Isaiah took a bit to recover from his fatigue, he responded, "If the teachers in that room know and are dealing with it, then we can trust them and tell what's been happening," while grabbing a mug and getting a bit of water to try and help with recovering. Hearing that, all the boys wondered if they really could trust the teachers.
"We can't just tell them what if one of them is a spy in the cult!" said Marv, a bit angry.
"Then we get the other teachers to deal with it," said Isaiah. Kian then suggested, "We'll take a vote if we'll tell the teachers." After that, Marc went in front of the group to take the votes
"Now, everyone who wants to tell the teachers, raise their hand," said Marc. Only two raised their arms: it was Isaiah and Hope.
"It seems the rest don't want to tell the teachers, so it looks like we'll still be doing this on our own," said Marc. The others were satisfied with the results, then Hope suggested a compromise.
"Why don't we do this on our own, but if we get found out by the teachers, you guys take the blame?" The others stopped to think. After a few minutes, they agreed, and after a few hours of playing games, they saw it was Friday, and tomorrow they could leave campus. So they made plans to visit Vivian and go to the coffee shop to eat and get a bit of gear that could help them in the investigation.
