Chapter Seven: The Investigation Continues
Regina looked at the students in front of her. "Alright I think you all know why you're here by now. On August 27th what happened when Alana hit Mr. Wastaken with that spell?" The ODRR representative asked the students that were gathered in the office.
Thea, the class president went first. "Well, I was speaking to one of my upper classmen members, Kelly Oakwoods, in the student council about the last meeting since I had to miss it for a number of reasons, when I saw Alana and her two friends enter the courtyard. She didn't seem to be up to anything at the time, so I had one of my student officers Jaida Castillo, and two other students who were friends with her keep an eye out while me and Kelly finished up our briefing. That's when I heard a blast and scream and saw a flash of reddish purple light. That's when I saw Mr. Wastaken on the ground unconscious and Drista trying to wake him. Jaida and her friends were blocking Alana and her friends from fleeing the courtyard and I joined Drista in trying to figure out what was wrong. Upperclassmen Kelly and her sister Carly came over to help us and said it might be a draemon type spell because they sensed some draemon energy around the area, but they weren't able to verify."
Regina nodded satisfied by what she heard from Thea. Turning to Jaida a dark brown haired girl with pink eyes she begins questioning her next. "Is everything Thea said true? If so, what happened when you tried to stop Alana and her friends from fleeing the courtyard?"
Jaida nods and begins to confirm Thea's story. "Me, Bria Rayn and Lucretia Martinez were just going about our business talking about a group assignment for class when I saw Alana and her two cronies, Keighley Sanders and Rosay Hawkins, making there away into the courtyard we didn't know why but we knew they were planning something. So, we kept an eye on them since Thea was in the middle of catching up on what she missed during the last student council meeting with upper class student Kelly. Next thing we knew she was getting ready to cast a spell so I was about to signal to Thea and the teachers but before I could the spell had been cast and Mr. Wastaken got hit trying to protect Drista from the blast. After the blast hit, she and Keighley Sanders and Rosay Hawkins tried to flee the courtyard but me and my friends stopped her with the help of the nearby students who got the teachers who were just entering the courtyard that day because they saw the light from the blast."
Bair and Lucretia nod to show that Jaida had told the truth and allowed the ODRR representative to ask any more questions she had for them. One such question was for Thea. "Thea, why did you miss the student council meeting and why didn't your vice president attend in your place, or one of your officers?"
"I was dealing with a family emergency ma'am. Has for my vice president it was a matter sickness, and my class officers and representatives were dealing with complaints from the other classes about Alana." Thea explained to the ODRR representative the rest of the student council members nod in agreement.
"It's true ma'am I was sick, and the rest were dealing with Alana trying to get other classmates to do her homework for them. They almost had to take the matter to Mr. Moody." Ayden replied with a frown. The other members of the student council nodded verifying the matter.
"I see, thank you for explaining what happened there. You all have done well in testifying today. It's possible that you may have to testify in court, but you will be made aware in advanced if you are needed at the trial. You may go back, and I will call you back here if I have additional questions." Regina smiled.
The students left and Regina called in the class of Scott Turtleson. They were the second year's most popular class, but they held the title for a reason. For one, they were popular for the fact that they had three royals in the class, secondly that the class had worked together to expose scandals that were going on in their royal families.
"Thank you for all for coming in here. I'm sure that your underclassmen told you what this is about yes?" Regina asked the students with a reassuring smile. The students nodded with in understanding. "Good then let's get started, Kelly, Thea claimed that you were filling her in on the events that occurred during your school's last student council meeting, is that correct?"
"Yes, that correct, her mother had ended up in the hospital, she wouldn't tell us more then that when we asked." Kelly replied with a nod. Carly verified this with a nod of her own.
"I see, Mr. Moody's class claimed that you and your sister were able to sense some draemon energy after the blast. How were you able to do this?" ODRR representative asked the sisters. They looked at each other before nodding.
"Are you familiar with the Magiclica royal family scandal of last year? Well, when we were looking into the scandal for mother, we learned that when we were born the man that tried to blackmail our mother into making him and his wife king and queen. He managed to sneak our "aunt" Remona into the hospital room our mother and father were and knocked out the nurse on duty and forced fed us a potion that turned out to be draemon summoning potion. Me and my sister here survived but we lost two of our own has a result." Kelly started to explained with a frown.
"While we were being treated the doctors discovered that the potion was made incorrectly and has a result turned into a draemon sensing potion with a few more side effects. A few of these being permanently having a stronger connection to draemons, a permanent connection to one for each of us, and the ability to sense when dreamon magic is being performed nearby." Carly continued with a frown mirroring Kelly's.
"I see, so that's how you two knew. Makes since, with that being said how familiar are you with Alana Hightstown?" Regina asked the class. This time it was Ryan who answered the question.
"Who in school hasn't heard about her? She's the most infamous person here at school! She's caused the most trouble for the student council alone this year. I heard from the staff that they were close to expelling her and asking her parents to send her to a reform school and the student council is getting closer to partitioning the staff to expel her has well!" Ryan stated firmly.
"I can see why Ryan, and do all agree with the staff and the rest of the students?" The ODRR representative asked with a frown. The students nodded in agreement. Regina made a note to investigate what kind of trouble Alana had caused and the validity of these statements.
With that she asked the students a few more questions before calling in a few more staff members and the ones that were already present. Those staff members were Ronin Okita, Verra Ishikawa and Kaleida Vehement the draemon safety teacher for the second years, school nurse and counselor respectively.
"So, Mr. Okita, tell me, you're the draemon safety teacher here at Everston academy, correct?" ODRR representative asked the draemon safety teacher with a smile. draemon safety was one of the "must teach and pass" subjects taught in schools. All students were required to take this subject at one point though out their time in high school.
In draemon safety students learned about the different types of draemons and how to safely interact with them, it also taught what procedures there were to reporting a draemon possession. Of course, a few lessons on how to tell if someone was possessed were also provided in the course.
Ronin looked at the ODRR representative. "Yes, I'm the teacher for that class. I also teach remedial lessons to those who need them." The purple haired teacher replied with a frown.
"How would you describe her performance in your class? I remember Mr. Moody saying that she that she failed your class is that correct?" Regina asked calmly. Ronin nodded and started talking about when Alana was in his class.
"She was… a difficult student, to say the least. She more often than not tried to blackmail other classmates into doing the homework assignments for her and more often than not wouldn't pay attention in class. She often would cause a lot of problems working in a group for any group projects that I gave out and a lot of times the students in the group would mention that it seemed that she believed that the subject was unnecessary. Despite taking the knowledge already acquired test to see if she could be put down has already studied and master the required material and failing with a grade of about 15%" Mr. Okita recalled with a frown.
With that in mind Regina decided on her next question. "Did you send her to remedial lessons after the course was completed in occurrence with failure to pass protocols for required classes? If so, then did she attend these lessons and pass?" ODRR representative asked the draemon safety teacher.
Ronin nodded in the affirmative. "Yes, I did, however even after we contacted her mother, she refused to attend the remedial lessons that were needed. In fact, she kept insisting that we were the ones who were wrong. I sent her to Kaleida in hopes that it would set her straight but that didn't help either."
Regina nodded in understanding and turned to Kaleida. "Mrs. Vehement how did your sessions with Alana go when you were working with her?" Kaleida thought for a moment before answering the question.
"They didn't go so well unfortunately, you see she tended to try and lie about a lot of things. I contacted her mother to refer her to a psychiatrist that I know outside the school who specializes in children like her. Her mother did agree to send her, but Alana refused to go. Last I talked to Mrs. Hightstown said that she was considering sending her daughter to a reformatory school due to the increasing number of incidents she's caused here." Kaleida replied with a frown.
"Why did you decide to send her to a psychiatrist?" Regina asked Kaleida has she continued to take notes on the matter her boss watched the interaction with intrigue a has he had a secret that would be a welcome surprise for her is she continued to keep up the high job performance.
"I noticed that she displays some sociopathic tendencies and under our educational laws if a school affiliated mental health professional notices signs of a mental illness in a student their guardian must be notified and provided with resources to assist the student in question." Kaleida replied with a frown. Regina nodded and continued with her next questions.
"I see, did any other teachers notice these signs?" Regina asked the counselor with a frown. Kaleida nodded and named some of the teachers and students who saw the signs. Regina nodded once again turning to Scott.
"Mr. Turtleson your class seems to have a close connection with Mr. Moody's. I understand that Thea's class is the one that is under yours, but they seem to have a closer relationship with one another then the rest of the classes here. Why is this and is it related to Alana in any way?"
"Actually yes, you see when Alana first started causing trouble here at the academy Thea had tried her best to keep it under control with the help of Malcom and the other teachers involved with the issue. However, with the increasing number of complaints about her from other classes she felt that she needed advice on how to handle it. So, she when to my class president Kelly for advice and the two of them became friends and soon enough our classes were close with one another." Scott replied with a smile remembering how proud he was of Kelly for helping out a younger student.
"I see, Kelly says that she and her sister were exposed to a draemon summoning potion when they were born and that because of it, they have the ability to sense a draemon or dreamon magic being used. How accurate would you say these abilities are? Mr. Okita I'd like for you to answer this question has well.
"I'd say that they are extremely accurate. Whenever a draemon safety lesson was on going they can tell when they were practicing draemon detection spells. Even though all the classrooms for draemon safety are across the school from ours." Scott replied with a smile.
"That's true, they were always able to tell if a spell is about to go wrong before they signs show up. They were also able to answer on how to correct it and immediately tell if a draemon got into the classroom because of the spell going wrong. They passed the class with the highest score out of all of the student in that class with them." Ronin recalled from the previous semester when they had the class with him.
The ODRR representative in understanding showing that she believed them on the matter. After a few more questions she decided that it was time that she begin asking Verra Ishikawa a few questions that she had for her.
"Nurse Ishikawa, Drista told me that after the incident she brought her brother to your office, is this correct?" The ODRR representative asked the school nurse. Verra nodded and brought out her report on the situation. Haruto had texted her earlier say that an ODRR representative was here to investigate what happened that day and he thought it would be a good idea to tell them ahead of time so they could bring it with them.
"Yes that's correct. Drista brought her brother to my office when he started to complain of a headache after he got hit with that spell. I gave him a normal check up and found nothing out of the ordinary at that time. However, I did ask that he stayed the night for observation. However, after it appeared that there were no side effects from the spell, I released him has I didn't notice anything at that time." Verra replied with a smile.
Regina nodded in understanding before continuing. "What other symptoms, if any did, he experience during that time?" ODRR representative asked the nurse with a smile.
"No aside from some slight paranoia he was fine. Drista did comment that he seemed a bit off at the time and sensing some slight draemon energy from him, but it disappeared after about an hour. It was slightly declining before that point, so we thought it was some sort of residue from the spell." Verra explained with a frown.
Regina nodded in understanding has she looked over the report that Verra had given her upon entry into the office. After verifying that that everything was true and interviewing a few more people than they left the school and made there way back to the headquarters of the Office of Draemon Records and Regulations.
