Wings & Mages (Version 2)

Chapter 18: Dealing With Binaries

(A/n: Hey guys! I brought up another lesson! This will be beneficial to those who are interested in taking computer as a major. It is mentioned in the title. The topic is a good one ^-^ but if you don't like, you can ignore it. Also, if it gets really messy, don't hesitate to ignore it.)

Recap:

Cana gave him the card she was holding and he looked at it. It flashed an image of a white king with raging black aura. Gray took a step back when he saw it. "What is this?"

"It is a bad omen," Cana told him, "Something bad is going to happen to Juvia."

"Can we do anything to stop that from happening?" asked demandingly on Levy.

"We have to wait for the Eclipse so that we can open the portal to their dimension," Levy replied, "That's the only way can do."

"I can't wait that long when Juvia can be put in grave danger," he thought desperately before sitting down on a chair and entering a sulking mode.

"Juvia, please... keep yourself safe..." he begged, "I'll come and get you out of there... So, wait for me."

"So Daisuke, I'm glad you recovered fast," Takeshi said cheerfully, "It didn't look like you got sick recently."

"Yeah," Daisuke agreed, "Seems like it..."

It's Monday, just an ordinary day perhaps. The phantom thief was sleeping soundlessly inside Daisuke. All about the latest heist became off topic to the common people.

The last break time for the day was about to end. After that, there's three more subjects to work on before the class will be dismissed. And tomorrow, the same routine goes for everyone.

"Of course Daisuke healed fast," Riku intervened.

"He was almost healed when we last visited him," added Satoshi.

"Oh... I see," said Saehara, looking blankly at Daisuke.

Daisuke nodded and smiled momentarily. "You guys don't really need to worry about me."

"We're not worried about you." Takeshi scoffed.

"How rude..." Daisuke muttered, trying to hide his annoyance.

"We just find it a bit suspicious that you were sick the day after Dark's heist and the flood," Riku told Daisuke a bit worriedly.

Riku knew about the fact that Daisuke and Dark are the same person. But even if that's the case, she still worries about Daisuke being involved and getting sick after heists. But she never intended to make the innocent be knowledgeable about it, especially Takeshi Saehara – the reporter wannabe.

"Yeah... Now that you mention it..." Takeshi said, rubbing his chin, "What were you up to that time?"

"Nothing," Daisuke, Riku and Satoshi said in unison, "It's just a coincidence."

"Huh?" Takeshi blinked several times. The three smiled awkwardly.

Just then, the bell rang. Takeshi wanted to further ask them what was with the unison. Those three seemed suspicious as if they were hiding something from him. But then, the bell rang, so the matter at hand was postponed. Takeshi decided to reserve the question for later, but he's the type who forgets things so easily. Eventually, he could no longer bring it up by dismissal.

Everyone cleared their tables and prepared themselves for next class. Just three more subjects and the day would be over.
