The green-eyed suspects were all brought to the auditorium, the general was already there waiting for them and Kelvin was just sitting on the bench in the stands while looking away to avoid making eye contact with any of the students.
They were all lined up in rows as the general began his usual matching in front of them, one thing that Luis immediately took notice of was that the general had none of his demonic equipment on.
'At least fighting him now won't be a problem.' Luis thought as he envisioned a scenario where that would be the only thing he had to do.
"I am giving you one last chance to give in yourself, I promise that your punishment will only be light." General Freelyn said as he matched up and down in front of them with his hands folded behind his back.
"But if I start what I intend to do today and you are found guilty of being with my sword." He stopped to take a deep breath. "Let's just say I hate thieves and those that I hate do not last." He said with a smirk.
There was no response from the students but the scared first-year students could feel their legs trembling even though they knew they were not the ones with the sword.
General Freelyn turned to the soldier on his right and gestured to him to bring something, the soldier walked outside and later came back carrying a thin but wide device in his hands.
He walked to General Freelyn and dropped it on the table in front of him.
General Freelyn looked at the faces of all the students but his gaze seemed to have lingered more on Luis who in turn tried not to make eye contact with him until he turned his gaze to the machine in front of him.
"I am aware that all of you do not know what this is the world as a whole does not know what this is."
Those words had caught Kelvin's attention as he stood up to check what the general was talking about.
"This here is a lie detector and by lie detector, I do not mean the ordinary lie detector everywhere that just detects the change in heartbeat and pulse changes that may not mean the person is lying and was just nervous.
"But here is a true lie detector, why do I call it a true lie detector? Because it is made with an ability stone that grants one the ability to tell if someone was lying or not.
"The last person that held the ability was very accurate in doing that but since he passed away, I think it would be useful in using it to do this."
'Instead of giving it to someone without an ability.' Kelvin thought as he observed everything from up the stands.
The general turned the machine over to show them the white ability stone which was glowing brightly inside the device.
"I am giving you one last chance to give in yourself before we start our lie-detecting session."
For the first time since the beginning of this case, Luis felt his heartbeat increase out of fear as he knew things had just gotten serious.

Outside the school just where the general had landed his helicopter, his copter pilot could be seen enjoying his little nap on the pilot's seat but he wasn't alone as three students were watching him from behind the trees in the forest.
"Are you sure this is what the sword looks like?" Dylan asked as he lifted the sword in his hand which was a replica of the general's sword.
"Yes, now bring it down," Orah said.
'He has been here for only a few days, how does he know what the sword looks like?' Ace thought.
Those were the exact thoughts in his mind when the new student-led them to a blacksmith outside the school, they had told the blacksmith there that they were blacksmiths and needed to borrow his place for a few hours to make something.
Ace had been the one to pay the blacksmith from his savings.
Immediately the blacksmith left after collecting his payment, Orah dropped his bag on top of the table there and brought out something the two roommates had never seen before.
It was a ball of dark red metal and the most surprising part was that it was in the form of a thick ball.
"What's that?" Ace asked.
"No time to answer questions, we need to hurry," Orah said as he immediately grabbed the metal ball and threw it into the furnace.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Dylan asked.
"Yes," Orah said. "But I'm not sure you guys will want to be here."
They didn't understand what he meant by that until the room started to get uncomfortably hot for them forcing them to leave, it was as if the red metal had made the flames more intense, and in truth that was what it had done.
The duo returned after a while to see Orah holding onto a red sword.
"Let's go," He said immediately he saw them and without waiting for them rushed out through the door.
"So what's your plan now?" Dylan asked as they kept looking at the man in the helicopter.
"Just follow me with the sword," Orah said as he moved closer to the helicopter and after looking around for a while and seeing that no one was coming he began approaching the helicopter with Dylan following behind. Ace didn't follow them because he didn't see the point of him following them there.
They got to the helicopter where the pilot was sleeping and luckily for them the window was open.
"Drop it in there as hard as you can." Orah said.
"Won't that wake him up?" Dylan asked.
"That's the point of everything."
"Ok, but what if he sees us?"
"That's why I'm here."
Dylan looked at the sword and took a deep breath before throwing it into the helicopter. It landed on the floor and made a loud clang that was enough to do the job.
"What was that!" The pilot immediately sprang up but now has his mouth wide open because of what he was seeing on the floor now.
"How did that get here?"
He scooted to the open window to look outside but when he did he couldn't find anything or anyone.
The pilot got off from the helicopter and began heading toward the school.
Orah had a smile on his face as he held onto Dylan, they were hanging under the helicopter.
'Mission accomplished.'
