The Food Sage 12 The Evidence Is Clear, Resistance Is Futile

Afraid to be caught in the act, the duo immediately retreats further into the darkness. Swaying left and right between the chairs, they slowly increase their speed, truly afraid of getting caught.

At the end of every row, the armrest connected to the chair has a built-in scanner. This scanner is purely for recording purposes. To mark the number of people going in and out of the seats, and to match the receiving data with previous sessions of use. Unfortunately, the duo doesn't know their purpose or even there existence, for that matter.

With every turn, Jacob shudders slightly in response, but he doesn't make any noise, in fear of any possible repercussions that may be induced.

Behind Jacob, Amelia had grown bored of the same response from him and asked with a subtle look of interest, "Are you afraid?"

Every time they had turned onto the central pathway then turned back toward a receding row, Jacob would cautiously look both left and right.

Before they had finished their last turn, Jacob's body shook in agitation, still picturing the scene that had just unfolded. When Amelia had said those words, Jacob mentally broke down, like a lighter to oil fuel, not being able to react to what was told to him entirely, he combusts internally.

Falling, Jacob crashes onto the last armrest of the back-row.

Thud!

"Who's there?? If you don't come out right now, then I will personally deal with this matter and shut the entire Sage Sect down!"

"Yea, what he said!"

"Shut up."

"Sorry... Not sorry."

Caught in the act, Grandpa Galen's face whitens in fear and body shudders violently in anger. Not caring about the possible repercussions, Grandpa Galen thrusts out his palm, aiming at the source of the sound.

As soon as Grandpa Galen hand stretches out, a glowing white substance secretes from his palm and launches toward the intended around. As soon as the light touches the chairs and the surrounding area comes in contact with it, they catch on fire. However, the fire wasn't the color that you would expect, it was an otherworldly green. A green fire that seems to peer any other existence as submissive, not viewing anything on the same level as it.

Watching the fire surround them, the duo becomes scared witless. Huddling, the duo tries to steer clear of the aboriginal fire, afraid of the consequences, if they were to touch it.

Watching the fire surround them, they realize that the green fire seems to be alive. Only surrounding them and not harming them in any way. Not even the heat that emanates from the fire appear to come into contact with them.

Staring at the fire with fear clearly written on her face, Amelia tightens her grip on Jacob and cries with a tinge of guilt in her eyes.

Looking at Jacob, Amelia gives him a heartwarming smile, a smile full of unwillingness and a will to live longer, "Jacob, I'm sorry. This was my fault, to begin with, and I don't even know where to start. I fell in love with you at first-sight, trying to hide it; unfortunately, I still failed in the end."

Around the duo, the fire continues to rise and transform. As it surrounds them, the fire begins to form a cage. Looking more realistic, the fire congeals and takes shape, until it finally turns into a giant fiery-green cage.
