PHANTOMENOUS ACADEMY: UNRAVEL S2 (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

"What?" The all said in chorus. Ives was shocked to the point that the coldness in his eyes disappeared. "Are you sure about this information, Ivanna?" Ivan asked while still can't find a way to believe her daughter. She just almost destroyed the Empire.

"Yes Dad. Please believe me." Ivanna pleaded. "The forest does not only nullifies our cores, but it can also erase our existence when we entered the forest. The fact that no one knew where we are, proves that the Forest has another ability besides Nullification." Ivanna added.

"Your Imperial Majesty, delikado ito kapag nalaman ng iba. We must keep this secret, who knows kapag nalaman nila ito, they will try to create rooms and can be our enemy's based. If they succeed—"

"I know Lienna. We must keep this fact and add more security inside the Forest. The gate should be guarded enough to take some higher Hollowsian." Ives ordered after cutting Lienna.

"Ivan, send some elites. Tighten the securities, we can't rely this information, even if it's Shin." Ives ordered again. The couple bowed and looked at Ivanna lastly before walking away.

"Now, let's continue. Where did we stop?" Ives asked and walked to the back. He pulled the chair and sat down with it without taking his eyes on Ivanna.

"After we discovered about the Forest's new ability, Meteora and Shiro locked Shane and continued to torture her for six months. They would leave Shane beaten and full of bruised. Her body was full of open cuts and wound, swollen body and puffed eyes. Her skin were burned, her back was full of long cuts because of Meteora's whipping, her bones were clearly broken, her neck was even affected to the point that she stutter because of the pain when she speak. Her nails were removed from the tips of her toenails and fingernails." Ivanna said.

She remembered how Shane shouts every seconds because of the torture. She remembered how bloody Shane was, only surviving because of her will and Ivanna's little healing ability.

"What the... F*CK!" Ives shouted as the arms of the chair cracked down, crumbing like a dust because of Ives' tight grip. "Y-your Majesty! P-please..." Natatakot na usal ni Ivanna.

"S-since we knew the ability, Meteora and Shiro didn't stop torturing Shane. They didn't leave Shane alone unless I interfere or make an excuse. Shane would always look at me, confused why I'm helping her. She thought I'm also part of the plan they created, but I was the victim and was threatened." Ivanna quickly explained her side.

"Why didn't Shane fought back? The forest can't nullify her since her core shattered years ago, making her mana stroll around every veins she had." Ives asked, confusion was within his voice. He believed that her daughter can't be easily defeated with such mere Paper Mage and a Hollowsian.

"Shane had the restraining collar, same with Eclipso's collar. What you call it again? Nullification? Unlike the forest who based on Core, the Nullification collar was based of one's mana. The collar can sense the mana everywhere in it's attached body. Shiro managed to get one while infiltrating the Headmaster's office. They attached it to Shane's neck, making her weak to the point that she can't fight and walk well." Ivanna said while looking down. She was afraid to the point that she can already feel the time she currently has left.

"I made plans to help Shane escaped hell, I secretly strolled the tree, looking for an exit for her to used as an escape route. Luckily, I found one. That was connected to the Hollowsian's territory." Ivanna said.

Before she could talk, she felt Ives aura releases immense dark mana making Ivanna suffocate even though the air wasn't block. "You sent her, to the enemy's territory?" Ives asked, he was not happy. Halata sa boses nito dahil sa nakakatakot na tonong ginamit nito.

"I-I can explain! There's no other way! If I went back here, Shiro's shadow will know that I confessed something. They will be alarmed and will send someone to kill me, or they will kill me. I'm so sorry Your Imperial Majesty but I really didn't knew what to do back then. So without doubt, I sent Shane to the enemy's territory, hoping for her safety." Ivanna said as she was shivering like a cat fell from an iced water. She was scared, so scared that she ceased the urge to pee.

"HOPING FOR SAFETY?! WHERE THE H*LL IS YOUR BRAIN?! DO YOU THINK AFTER SENDING HER TO THE ENEMY'S TERRITORY, WITH SERIOUS INJURIES PLUS THE NULLIFICATION COLLAR, WILL LET HER SURVIVE WITHOUT A SINGLE SCRATCH?!" Ives flipped. His attitude change after hearing Ivanna's statement. He was throwing glares at Ivanna who's whimpering like a dog and crying.

Ives left out an irritated sigh and smash the chair, making the chair break into pieces. "HNNGG.." Ivanna left out a whimper, she was seriously scared at the time. She pissed in her pants due to Ives' lashing out.

"I-Im sorry. Hnngg I'm sorry." She apologized again and again while kneeling down, head on the floor. "I'm sorry." She said crying like crazy.

"F*CK." Ives muttered and sighed. He lost his temper while listening to Ivanna's confession. His heart was thorn into pieces listening to Shane's hardship. Just imagining those things makes him loathe himself for not trying to look for her harder.

"I'm sorry, Ivanna. I should have controlled my temper." Ives apologized to her. Napahilamos si Ives at napaupo sa sahig habang walang wala sa sarili. He was dumbstruck. He lived his life forgetting about his own daughter, only to find out how his daughter survived those hell years.

"Why did I forget her?" Ives blurted out his thoughts. Ivanna looked at him and blinked twice before confessing again. "It's because of Shiro's spell." Ivanna confessed to Ives.

"Shiro? Again?"

"Yes Your Imperial Majesty. Shiro made a plan through this spell. She used the spell to bait Meteora and eventually, Meteora bit well. The spell was about forgetting someone's existence." Ivanna said. 'I can't confess the part that Shane asked me to mispoke that one word. But I can atleast change that part.' Ivanna thought.

"After my escaped plan worked, we waited for months until Shiro appeared again. She was instructing Meteora and me to do the spell that only works out during the Red Moon." Ivanna shared her memories.

"Wait, are you talking about..."

"Yes Your Majesty. I am talking about Frégrancia Remémbrato spell." Ivanna blurted making Ives shocked again. "The spell that would erased someone's existence in everyone's memory." She added.
