Head summoner Zalith shifted through the reports, his eyes scanned each report thoroughly making sure not to overlook any important details.
Suddenly a dimmed purple orb appeared before him, Zalith raised an eyebrow and set down the papers, he waved a hand over the orb causing a small window to appear above It.
It held information of another summoner, a watchmen summoner to be exact, with a sigh he grabbed the orb with his hand and expanded It, till it was the size of a window, he was expecting the watchmen to list off the summoners that had been reported.
Surprisingly the first thing he saw was a distressed male, appearing to be 22, most of the time the watchmen would just looked bored as they have to state which summoner committed a ban worthy action, maybe this time the summoners actually did something horrible.
"Head Summoner Zalith, do you copy?" the male asked as he peered into the orb, Zalith nodded and replied "Yes I copy, watchmen summoner Braig, are you here to report the unruly summoners again?" Braig shook his head, much to the head's confusion.
Braig pulled on the collar of his summoner robes "Actually, there's more of a problem with the battlefield, rather than the contestants" he stated, the watchmen's hand started to glow and with a swipe of both his hands, a translucent board, or the 'leader-board' as the summoners wish to call it, appeared.
There were two columns, each had five champions It displayed the kills, deaths and assist of each one, oddly though each champion had zero of each, the one of the left was the blue team, while the one on the right was the purple team, Zalith looked at the board questionably "I do not see the problem, each team has the appropriate amount of champions and I don't seem to sense any trace of a hacker's orb influence" Zalith stated.
Braig then shrunk the board with his right hand "Yes, this the leader-board during the start of the match, which was going fine until half way" he told the head summoner, with a clench of his fist the leader-board disappeared and with a swipe from his other hand, another one appeared.
While similar, Zalith noticed the difference immediately, the first one was the champion Vayne, her kill and assist count were rather high, but what caught the attention of Zalith was her death count, It kept switching from 4 to 5, like the the field of justice was denying the kill, while the summoner's rift was insisting, or vice versa.
Another thing was the lone silhouetted photo of a champion right in between the columns, next to it's picture were a garble or words, the only words that were readable were Killer.
Zalith stroked his chin "Hmmm, an unauthorized summon, that's never happen since the incident with Fiddlesticks" he said to himself, Braig nodded "Yeah, and the odd thing is we can't find the summoner responsible, there is no trace of him in either the field of justice or the institute" he informed.
Zalith raised an eyebrow "So that means the only possible is, the summoner is not in the institute" Braig's eyes widened "B-but that is near impossible, a regular summon from the summoning room already uses a huge amount of mana, even that the runes in the room help direct the summoned champions to their destination, are you implying that someone is skilled enough to summon a random champion wherever he likes?" he asked.
The Head summoner nodded "It's never been unheard of, there have been... cases of skilled summoners, summoning champions for their own gain, besides the master summoners are able to use this skill quite easily" he stated, Braig sighed "Very well sir, but what about Vayne's death count, I'm afraid that this might alarmed the other summoners" he informed, Zalith stared at shifting numbers and sighed "Just tell them that It's a glitch, they'll believe It, they always do" Zalith told the watchman.
Braig nodded, he closed his eyes and glowed, after a few seconds he opened his eyes and stopped glowing "I've informed the match examiner, so what should we do about this guy?" Braig asked, Zalith stared at the silhouette and asked "Do you have a screenshot of this 'Killer' summon" Braig thought for a moment and nodded.
He clasped his hands together, and dismissed the leader-board, he then swung them opened summoning translucent images of the field of justice, he then swiped his hands causing multiple pictures of the battles in said field to pass by with a blur.
Until it stops at an image of a man in his mid-twenties laying on the ground, wearing a bloodstained white hoodie, blue denim jeans and red sneakers, a rather pathetic looking kitchen knife was beside the body, unfortunately the shot was from the side and was unable to get a clear shot of his face, the only distinguishable feature was his raven-black hair and his white skin.
Zalith gestured with his hands signalling Braig to continue, with a nod he swiped his hand the picture passed and revealed another more gruesome one, the man had already stood up and had plunged a knife into Vayne's chin, one of the Night Hunter's bolt was lodged in his right shoulder, the shot showed a bit more of his face, his skin was definitely white, and his eyes were black and were dilated, but no unique features were present.
Zalith raised an eyebrow, so Vayne was killed by this 'Killer' "Braig" Zalith started, the watchman turned to the Head summoner "When did this happen?" Braig pressed a finger on his temple "About six minutes after he was summoned" Zalith's eyebrows rose in surprised, within just a few minutes he had easily taken down a champion, Braig then continued "It shocked me, he seems so human and... uhh regular, I didn't think he could dispatched Vayne that quickly" he finished.
Zalith looked at the watchman confused "What do you mean by 'seems'" he asked, Braig winced and rubbed the back of his neck nervously "Wellll, we captured another shot and, let's just say his um, facial features are, wrong" he stammered out "Wrong?" said Zalith questionable.
Braig gulped "I'll just show you then" With a swipe of his hand the next picture appeared It was an overhead shot and the summon just so happen to be laughing, though It was very blurry.
Braig cursed and kept swiping his hand, causing the picture to either zoom or shrink, while Zalith leaned in to examined the picture, from the constant zooming and shrinking he could find some feature about his face, his face was unmistakably white, black eyes and a red line stretched over his cheeks.
"I don't see the pr-" his sentence was cut short when the image cleared, while it was zoomed in, needless to say Zalith had never leaned back in shock that far in his life, Braig apologized and shrunk the image and revealed the image of the man standing over Vayne's corpse.
"By the gods" Zalith muttered under his breath as he stared at the horrifying face of the man, the bleached white skin, the burnt eyelids and the carved smile, normally this type of pain inflicted would be the norm in the league, If the victim wasn't inflicted by It before entering the league.
This man wasn't in the league, and he was summoned just recently, so there was no way he could these scars in any league battles, and the most disturbing part, he was human, he wasn't a beast, nor a voidling, from his attire he didn't even seem to be part of any military forces, he was a civilian, a regular human.
Zalith breathing hitched as he imagine what this man went through to received this kind of pain, Braig looked at the head worriedly "Sir are you okay?" he asked, Zalith shook his head and nodded.
He turned the watchman "Keep him alive, If he dies the revival would not recognize him but will try to revive him, because of his lack of connection to the league that would break the game" he informed darkly, Braig nodded "Yes sir I'll try and not cause any trouble" With a salute he waved his hand over the window shrinking It to It's original size, and then 'poofed' out of existence.
Zalith resting his head on his fist, and smiled just a little bit.
