"Okay... this is either a trap or a joke." Alex fumed under his breath as he walked across the snow covered campus. Earlier that day he had gotten an email on his scroll that he was to attend a parent/teacher conference in one of the observatories that the castle-like academy had, located on the top of one of the smaller towers. Now if the conference had to do with Averia then he wouldn't of been so apprehensive about the situation. The meeting would've been a simple one too; please look after my daughter, make sure she trains hard, tweak her tests so she'll always ace them, take my bribe money, blah blah blah. In truth if a meeting with Averia's parents had gone like that he would've banged his head against the nearest wall, told them Averia was already doing stellar and didn't need any help, and would've sent them on their way. Heck that's how it would've most likely gone for any student's parents he'd have to meet.
However this wasn't a normal parent teacher conference, because of one big difference; Alex wasn't attending as the teacher but as the parent! This meant the situation had to do with Lucy, and he hadn't been told anything that she had done wrong. Sure he was with her almost all the time so when things went wrong he was normally there. Did this have to do with the situation at the library where she knocked over the book case? He investigated that and found that she had gotten pushed into it and her mass did the rest. Not her fault. So what in the world could be the problem? It wasn't until Alex did a little investigating and found out there wasn't any official meeting scheduled, which meant this was either a joke, or a trap. Either way he had to trigger it to find out what was going on. So, with an agreement from the owner of the pet palace so Lucy could stay there the whole day with Silvana at the ready in case someone tried to take the girl, Alex left for the 'conference wearing his best uniform... and with Oblivinator strapped to his back. If it was a trap, he was fighting his way out, getting to Lucy, and making sure she was safe.
Sure he might be getting black mailed to protect her, but that was the blackmailer's mistake in making it a black mail in the first place. If the guy, or gal, had simply asked Alex to watch over Lucy he would've done so. However since he knew someone had something evil planned, Alex was constantly at the ready. So once he reached the observatory, he had one hand his weapon, only for his jaw to drop once he saw who the 'teacher' was. "Parent teacher Conference... was that supposed to be a bad joke?" Alex asked with is teeth grinding slightly.
