Clapping can be heard from across the room. "Mephesto your talents could practically be called magic."
Suguro had a face of pure shock and excitement, "L-Lightening!" he could hardly get it out.
"That's right. Lewin Light at your service. My friends and colleagues call me Lightening." He looks at the students and then walks up to Rin. "So this is the child of Satan I've been hearing about. I've been waiting to meet you." He eyes him up and down. "A little smaller than I thought he would be. Completely unremarkable he looks just like a normal teen. No matter, it's what we can't see that will show us your worth."
Rin blushes in embarrassment from being called out.
Lewin looks over to Suguro and sizes him up with a smile. Then he looks at Luna. His face turns grave and he looked as if he saw a ghost. "Oh my! Looking at you my dear makes me feel like I've traveled back in time. You look just like Aurora Ward."
"Aurora Ward was my mother." Wilk tells him.
"That explains the likeness. We worked together for a long time, before her death. All of our research funds were pulled when she was proved to be a traitor to the order. Your father served the order to the end and his justice upon your mother was quick. He didn't even give her time to explain herself. Not that it matters. There were no questions of whom his loyalties were to." Lewin watches Wilk's face go into shock and then harden into anger. He then looks at his hand. "It's a shame, your mother was really onto something. Her work would have benefited us a great deal. How old were you when that happened? Eight?" Lewin asks
Luna looks down at the ground ringing her hands at her side. "Nine sir."
"Then that would make you fifteen am I right?"
Luna clenches her fists and nods her head.
"Good, you have your father's wits about you. I hope they serve you well." Lewin looks back at Mephesto. "So sorry we got off topic. We are here to discuss Renzo Shima. We need to know if he is a traitor of the Order. We will start the trial of your peers."
Shima looks around nervously.
"Does anyone think he is still dependable?" Lewin says after a long pause.
"What happens if we find him not to be trustworthy?" asks Konekomaru.
"Then I'll take him back to the Order and we will torture him until he tells us everything about the Illuminati. It's best we don't sic the wolf on him just yet." Lewin looks at Wilk again, she just stares at the floor. He then looks at the rest of the students.
Suguro sets his jaw and glares at Shima. "I trust him. If he says he is a spy working for Mephesto under the guise of an Illuminati agent I believe him."
"So do I!" Says Konekomaru
"Konekomaru has the best judge of character I know." Says Moryama, "If he trust Shima I do too."
"He may be a real idiot but I trust him." Says Kamiki.
"We are friends and I trust him." Says Rin.
Wilk looks up at Shima and stares at him. He won't look her in the eye. "Shima is a Mischief-maker… and if there is anything I've learned about him he loves a good practical joke. So I trust that this is going to be one of his best." Wilk finally says. Shima looks up at Wilk as she looks away. She has a gut wrenching feeling in the pit of her stomach. 'Did I only say that so they wouldn't torture him? I wonder if my father felt something similar when he found out my mother was a traitor. Oh God… Shima, you were my friend.'
"Very well! Renzo Shima you have been found to not be a traitor of the order by your peers." Lewin says with a smile.
"Thank you exwires that will be all." Says Mephesto with a snap.
The entire group is transported to the school's courtyard except for Shima and Mr. Okumara.
"What the hell was that?" Demands Suguro.
"Apparently a trial of peers." Says Konekomaru.
"He better not be an Illuminati agent," Says Wilk, "Or I'll kill him myself." She walks away from the group vexed and steaming. Then she stops for a moment and looks over her shoulder. "Just like my father had to kill my treacherous mother."
"Wilk you don't mean that!" yells Konekomaru
Wilk turns to look at him. Her eyes shine with rage. "I would kill anyone who we know to be a traitor. Any who stands in the way of the Order will atone for their sins. If I'm not willing to do that, what good am I?" She then turns back to go in the direction of the dorms.
"Wilk!" Konekomaru starts to follow her but Suguro stops him by grabbing his shoulder.
"Koneko, she just found out her mother was an Illuminati agent and that her father was the exorcist that was responsible for carrying out her death sentence. Let's give her time to process that and blow off some steam. You know how passionate she is. Her head will clear soon." He looks at Wilk as she walks away. "I remember being like that when the people of the village would pass judgment on the temple and call it cursed. She may never change her mind about Shima but at least now she has a resolve."
"You don't really think she'd kill Shima do you?" Says Rin. "I mean he didn't kill Kamiki's summons but he had the opportunity to. So maybe he is really a spy."
"I don't know how much I trust him but you are right Okumara. He could have easily banished Mike and Ike but he held back." Kamiki squeezes her summoning papers.
