"Tringg, Tringg, Tringg", Ray pressed the bell thrice as everyone stood before the door.

"Maybe no one is home", Elina suggested.

"No, I can sense three people in there", Ray spoke as he placed his hand on the door and used his perception to sense the people inside.

"So why aren't they opening, they could at least respond", Aliya asked impatiently.

"That, I have no clue of. Why don't you try something", Ray suggested with a hint of sarcasm.

"Just shout out the name of the person you are looking for. I am sure someone will respond", Aliya retorted with a sneer.

"Not that I want to bicker with you any further, the rooms and everything here are soundproof", Ray answered as he rang the bell once again.

"Why don't we break down the door", Tim suggested with an expecting look on his face. It seemed that he wanted to vent somewhere.

"No Tim, we can't. It's academy property and doing so would only land us in trouble", Ray sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, Tim dejectedly stepped back and leaned onto the wall behind him.

"So what to do? We can't just turn back after going through so much to find her", Noah spoke up, frustrated that all he went through would be for naught.

However, all he got was a contemptuous gaze from Aliya while no one else paid heed to his words.

A few seconds later,

"Noah, did you copy all the details or just the crucial ones when copying the information related to Sirius's sister?", Ray asked calmly.

"Uhm, I am not sure. I just copy-pasted the whole page", Noah replied in embarrassment.

"Okay, forward it to me", Ray said as he took his phone out and motioned for Noah to send him all the information.

Noah did as asked and forwarded all the information to Ray.

On the other hand, after receiving the information. Ray opened the file and searched for the contact number of Sirius's sister.

"Found it", Ray exclaimed lightly as he found just what he was looking for.

Afterward, Ray dialed the number in hopes for the call to go through,

"Hello, who is it?", a female voice answered the call.

"Hi, Is it Emma speaking?", Ray asked politely

"Yes it is, do you need something? I am a bit busy, so it would be best if you hurry. Also, who are you?", Emma asked while also making it clear that Ray had to come clear of his agenda for the call.

"Nothing much, I am your brother's roommate, and also his team captain, Ray Xanders. I have a very important matter to speak of", Ray spoke as he made it clear that he meant business.

"Okay, I am listening", Emma replied.

"The matter is very important and it concerns the well-being of a lot of people, including your brother", Ray spoke with urgency.

"What happened to my brother, is Sirius okay? Did he get hurt? Where is he now?", Emma upon listening that the matter concerned Sirius's well-being didn't bother with anything and bombarded Ray with a lot of questions.

"As of now, Sirius is okay. He is in the infirmary", Ray spoke calmly trying to calm down Emma.

"Why is he in the infirmary", Emma asked with a more concerned tone than before.

"He is there to be safe from the side effects caused by the moon", Ray told Emma hoping that it would calm her down a bit.

"Oh! So that's why he is in the infirmary, you scared me for nothing", Emma spoke in relief.

"Now, back to the reason I called you for. Could we have a chat in person? The reason is a bit hard to explain on the phone",

"Well, it will be okay if you are near. If not, you might have to wait for tomorrow", Emma told Ray.

"Actually, the matter is very important and the whole team is here too. At the moment, we are right outside your dorm floor waiting for someone to open the door", Ray said as he told her that they were standing right outside.

"Wait, you are outside? Why didn't you say that before? I will open the door, just give me a minute", Emma spoke in relief that she didn't have to do much.

"Okay, we are waiting", Ray replied and hung up.

"So what did she say?", Aliya asked in expectation as she had heard most of the conversation and had an idea of what happened but still asked to confirm.

"Nothing much, she will be opening the door in a minute", Ray replied to her, satiating her curiosity a bit while also allowing the other members to heave a sigh of relief.

A minute and 25 seconds later,

"Beep, click",

"Hi, come on in", The door opened with a click as Emma greeted them and invited them inside.

A few minutes later,

Ray and the other sat on a sofa as they looked at Emma who sat opposite them. She was still processing everything they told her,

"So you all are saying that a certain group of people is intentionally causing trouble in the academy and that Sirius was also one of the victims due to all this. Today, on the night of the full moon, they are actively seeking out and provoking those with wolf-based systems within the Academy", she asked as she provided a summary of what she was told.

"Yes, you could say it like that. Though there are still some crucial points you are missing out on. Still, that's the gist of it", Ray spoke on affirmation.

"Okay, but I have to ask. Why do you need my help, there isn't much I could help you with anyway. I have no actual fighting prowess to speak of", Emma asked as she was puzzled that why they would require her help.

"You are wrong there. We need your help but not to fight. We need your help in searching the aura of the other wolves in the vicinity so we could reach them and help before the others do and cause trouble", Ray explained to her why they required her assistance in their mission.

"Ohh, so you need my help in for searching them. Yeah, I could help with that but there is an issue. You all would most probably be searching for wolves in a larger radius and also that a lot of auras would be there to search for", she said and continued,

"As you guys might know, using system abilities causes a lot of energy consumption and that's the issue here. I can not use my abilities for a longer duration while increasing the radius of the search would increase my energy consumption even more. Therefore, unless you have an external source of energy to provide me with spirit energy, I won't be able to help much", she said as she stated the issues she would face.

"I understand, and I have asked the head nurse for that too. She said that we could help you by providing you with spirit energy crystals to replenish your energy. Also, don't worry about where we will get the crystals from, the head nurse has it covered", Ray said as he assured her that she wouldn't run out of spirit energy anytime soon.

"Also, what will I get for helping you? Don't get me wrong, but I can't help you for nothing", She did not hesitate to ask for her cut as that was how the world worked.

"100 Academy credits", Ray replied as said only three words but these words worked wonders as Emma replied almost instantly.

"Done, count me in".
