"Well then, we have decided." Zero was sweating and Zeta with a smile declared, "Acid will take care of Mistress and cover this area until we all would be absent here."
The plan was to keep Mistress alive and not let her run away and keep an eye on her. But there was a small problem, if anyone of them, whether it's Zero, Alpha, Eta, Beta, Epsilon, Delta, Eclipse or Zeta, tries to look at her, they would be absent in the Academy which can make Rehi suspicious, because he knows all of them very well and if Zero's assumption would be right, then if he feels suspicious and also finds Mistress missing then the game would be the over, so at the end it was decided that Acid will be there because nor Rehi knows because he hadn't saw him in this life ever before and it will be actually the best plan, because no one else could afford to show their absence. That was all fine but Zero was a little bit surprised, because he was still doubting on Acid, he knows Acid but he just can't digest the trust between his team and Acid...but Eta was the Leader for him, and if she has accepted the plan then he won't say anything about it. He had no problem if no one of his team has any so he just accepted and didn't say anything.
Acid looked at Zero and mumbled, "I guess.. he actually doubts on me..." But Zero just turned away and wore his glasses and started leaving. Alpha also followed him and started walking away and the Lotds looked at Acid with a smile and said, "You what you need to do, Acid, right?"
Acid smiled and nodded his head, "If I feel or listen like someone is coming, then I will call you all and manage until you all enter. I know that very well and I won't actually quickly and follow the orders."
Acid was one of the most loyal companion of the team in their previous life, and everyone believed in him and he believed in himself more than anything that he won't break his loyalty and friendship and will always follow them, even if they become wrong. That was the loyalty Acid had and the Lords actually feel like there's no one as loyal as Acid and they know that he won't break their promises and orders.
Zeta walked to Acid and they both exchanged their numbers and they both took their phones back and Zeta patted on Acid's shoulder and with a smile said, "We are relying on you, Acid...and be yourself and do what you have kept on doing. I will come to see you at night or whenever I get the chance, you also take chill and enjoy and keep on calling me if you ever feel bored. I will be there." And Acid smiled creepily and Zeta also smiled and Zeta finally started leaving and the Lords left.
"Hey...I will give you everything whatever you want...free me right now..." The Mistress said, trying to put butter and take Acid on her side but Acid just took his seat anywhere in the room and started looking at his phone and said, "I am already telling you, I won't reply to any word of you, try anything but I won't care or say anything about. You can continue now."
And the Mistress was frozen..."Huh...? You... will ignore me...?" And actually, Acid didn't say anything after that to her and just kept on looking her crush's photo and his cheeks turned red..."She is cute... she's my wife at the end...but not sure whether it will happen in this life or not."
Zero was walking with Alpha and the Lords and Alpha looked at his eyes, a smile bloomed on her face and she asked with curiosity, "By the way, Zero...what was in your eyes when your glasses were off... are your eyes weak or was it just...?"
Zero remembered, Alpha had slapped him and The Lords started sweating, by the glasses they could also only remember that. But thinking about it, they were also curious about it and looked at Zero and asked, "Yes, we are also curious...your eye color changed when the glasses get out."
Zero looked at them and replied, "Well...I don't think I can tell you all about that, but it was something Head Rem knows and promised to not tell about anything about it. I can't answer that...but I can answer that one thing, no, my eyes are fine and these are just fake to hide my real eye color."
"So the change in your color is related to it?" And Zero nodded his head, "Yes, kind of..."
They all were surprised but evil mind came in their heads and they all thought, "Rem will answer it if we ask her about that--"
"And don't think about asking Head Rem about it, I made a 50-50 Promise with her on the condition that she can't tell about it anything to anyone. Even if she wanted to tell, she can't because of the promise."
Everyone was left stunned, and majority doesn't know what even the 50-50 Promise is but Delta and Eclipse started sweating, they couldn't believe...
"50...50 Promise...? Then you mean, if she tried to say or tell about it...her voice would be silent or something will resist her to say?" Eclipse said and everyone started sweating and looked at Zero, and Zero nodded his head. "Yes, that only, the 50-50 Promise."
And everyone realised, that they will never know about it, the Promise must be broken somehow but no one knows the way how to even break. Delta looked back at Zero with curiosity and asked, "...Do you know how to break that Promise?"
And Zero actually nodded his head, "Yes, I know."
And everyone was shocked--
"What are you all doing here and at this moment, at dawn?"
And everyone looked in front, and Rem was standing in front on her own and holding asleep Kin on her arms and looking confused.
