Journey In A Fantasy World
Trapped

The three of us steadied our hearts to jump into the portal. With the weapons tightly grasped, we knew what was going to be waiting for us up ahead.

Let's hope the Win portal appears in a deserted place. So that we can move stealthily without having to invite the attention of everyone.

Neo jumped first, me and Rui followed. At first glance, we only saw a bright light that hurt the eyes, so we had to close it so as not to feel pain.

When the bright light began to dim, we landed at our destination.

Looks like our hope is fulfilled. We showed up in Neo's room. Neo heaved a sigh of relief. Then ask us to get out of the room.

"It seems like they were all gathered in the Great Hall," Neo whispered, "I remember Win once told me about the recorder's spell. I'll activate it and contact Win from afar."

Neo fixed his standing position and began to concentrate, his eyes closed and his hands clenched, Neo took a deep breath.

"Win, did you hear my voice?" Neo muttered softly, "If you hear that, come to my room in five minutes, Win. I want to convey our plan, it will change all the plans you have made. We wait for you to come, if it doesn't come in five minutes, we're forced to go out and look for you. This plan really needs to be changed."

Neo looked at the two of us, "If Win heard it, he should have come five minutes later. If not, let's go out alone looking for him."

We don't know if Win actually heard Neo's voice. We waited a few minutes in Neo's room as he said.

Five minutes later, we found no sign of anyone opening the door of the room, let alone the appearance of the teleportation portal.

"Neo, did Win hear a message from you?" Rui started to ask worriedly.

Neo shrugged, "Wait a minute. Being late is natural for anyone. But if five more minutes they haven't shown up yet, we need to get out of here and act."

I held my breath, the situation was very stressful. We are now fugitives of Dixia Academy and cannot move freely like before.

Plup!

Holy hooch! I think someone knows where we are. Apparently it was Win and his friends. They heaved a sigh of relief seeing the three of us arrive safely.

"Hows it? Has your card changed?" Win asked us. The three of us nodded in unison.

"Win, we have to change the plan," Neo immediately uttered our main goal of asking them to meet.

"What plan, Neo?" Win asked curiously.

Neo waved his hand, the hourglass floating above his hand.

The faces of the three of them changed instantly, "Here, how could this possibly be on you? Neo, why is this on you? Could—"

"Silence, Win. I haven't explained anything yet," Neo put it on the table, "This is a fake heirloom. I made it with a magic pen and illusion magic. This is the plan I want to discuss with you guys" Neo looked at the doorkeepers one by one seriously.

"Alright, Neo. I'm sorry we were so prejudiced against you. Tell me what are you planning?" The Yets pat Win on the shoulder, staring at Neo more gently.

"I want you to bring this false heirloom into the midst of all people. Then saying that the real heirloom was not stolen, but that the stolen one was fake, in this way, Ruu would come out in a panic and check if the heirloom she stole was really fake. On this occasion, we will pursue him and snatch the original heirloom from him" Neo explained.

The three of them discussed for a moment, then without waiting for long, they agreed to what Neo had planned. They took out a fake hourglass, then brought it to the Great Hall.

Before leaving, the Yets activated a disappearing spell on our bodies, "You watch around up close, with my spell, there will be no one to see you. We trust Rux's business to you."

The three of them disappeared again, we let out a long sigh. It seems like it will end without a hitch.

We get out of Neo's room, and find everyone's excited about the magical heirloom that's still safe in the guards' hands.

"It's good that if the stolen heirlooms are fake, they can't do anything with fake heirlooms."

"Thankfully, the Doorkeepers had guessed what would happen on the eve of a lunar eclipse."

"But, Win. If you knew what they stole was a fake, why not go on trial and let them go to jail for a few days?" June is a little suspicious of the sudden appearance of this heirloom.

Win scratched his nape, "Giving them a small lesson alone won't make matters big, will it?"

The three of us looked at each other, we were less than approving of the plain answer from Win!

"Just calm down, he won't notice. I want to take revenge on that pack of wolves personally. They've hit me in the head and bled, damn it," Neo looks really hateful when he stares into June, Paw and Kie's faces.

Rui chuckled, "Do it now, Neo. After all, they can't see you. Aren't you used to throw marbles if you're upset with someone?"

I chuckled, Rui's right. Neo seemed annoyed with our jokes, threatening to take revenge on us as well.

It was time for us to search for Rux's whereabouts, he didn't seem to be gathering with his flock. Whether he was where, we had already surrounded everyone, gazing from above, inspecting the entire academy building, as well as still nowhere to be seen.

"Jian, what if Rux has escaped?" Rui whispered worriedly.

To be honest, I'm worried about the same thing. Because the Rux is not visible anywhere until hours after the fake heirloom is stored and re-sealed.

"Despite escaping, he will definitely return," Neo looked still curious, where did Ruu go?

Win contacted us, asking what they were going to do when Ruu did not come, Neo asked them to ask the ghosts to re-seal the heirloom.

"Neo, is this going to go well? What if the heirloom was found to be fake when the seal was installed?" Rui again expressed her concern.

Neo again shook his head, "Are you not tired of worrying all the time? Take it easy, my plan is guaranteed to work. You don't have to worry too much, Rui. It's no use." he grumbled in annoyance.

I patted Rui's shoulder so that her anxiety subsided. Rui smiled at me, "Thank you, Jian."

"That's it!" Neo exclaimed while pointing upwards.

Our heads immediately looked up. It really is a Rux!

"But why doesn't everyone realize it?" Rui narrowed her eyes looking at Rux who was floating up there.

"Because he also used the disappearing spell, Rui. Only people wearing the same spell can see it, like us," Neo helped explain.

"Will he steal the sealed heirloom?" I noticed his movements that were like waiting for the right time to act.

"of course. I slightly misjudged, it turned out that he was a really deft man, throwing out the fake and stealing back the one that was believed to be the real one," Neo chuckled, "Wait what else? Let's go forward!" Neo took out his magic level, Pru turned into a long, pointed spear. It was covered in ice and let out a cold wind.

Neo jumped up, we caught up. Ruu instantly realized there were three people charging at her, her disappearing spell came off, as well as our disappearing spell.

We were clearly fighting boxing right on top of a sealed fake heirloom. Win looked up at the commotion above.

"The thief is coming again!" the ghosts exclaimed at the commotion above the hall.

Win rushed to speed up the sealing process. As if to know what Win was doing, Ruu darted towards the seal and broke it, no matter what else.

Win immediately attacked him, Rux managed to get the heirloom, but now he is surrounded by everyone, including us.

"Rus! We know you've framed us and made everyone think of us as thieves. Huh, that's really not our habit. We prefer to ask for good rather than take such a path. Take your punishment, Rux, give her back!" Neo raised his hand, the heirloom in Rux's hand turned into paper back.

"Actually, you've been framed! Like you used to trap these innocent children!" Win exclaimed and pointed his hand forward, unhesitatingly attacking Rux with his greatest magic energy, "Receive your punishment, Rux!"

Sroom!!

Rux briefly pointed his hand at Neo before disappearing.

The splash!

Ruu's body suddenly turned into a black talisman paper.

"Wine! We're the ones who've been framed!" Yets called seriously.

"What?" Neo was shocked, he fell down a split second after Ruu launched a sudden attack against him.

"Neo, are you okay?" I helped Neo stabilize the attack on his body.

"She, she's already learned forbidden magic!"
