He swiftly jumped back up onto his feet and moved at such speed that it would appear like he just vanished from a normal person's eyes. He appeared above me and he plunged down with both of his knives pointed toward my skull.I moved back a bit as he landed in front of me and kicked him with much force to the ribs, as he went flying a few meters away from me. Looking at this opportunity, I rushed toward him.Standing up instantly, he thrusts the knife towards my face. Evading it, I catch hold of his arm and with my front foot; I turn around swiftly to deliver a sidekick to his chest, but he also catches my leg and kicks me hard in the gut and I stagger back a few steps.Looking at his bloodthirsty eyes, I rush toward him at full speed. Ducking down under his arm as he swings both of his knives at me, I deliver an uppercut to his jaw as he steps back and spits out blood.He lunged at me again and started attacking with the knives without giving me any break. I had no other choice than

Opening my eyes, there was nothing but darkness and serene silence. I tried to move around but it seemed like my body wasn't in any plan to listen to me. I tried to lift my arm up but all was in vain as my eyes kept staring into the dark.Though, I could still hear that voice. It felt much closer than it was before and I could make it out into the voice of a woman. A soft and gentle voice, which somehow gave me this warm feeling of comfort.Suddenly, a creaking noise of the door opening ringed in my ear as I sat up to stare at the narrow slit of light coming through the half-opened door. The handle seemed to tilt as if the other person on the other side was still holding it right in that position.A strange feeling washed over my body as a woman emerged from the other side of the door. From her silhouette in the dark, I could make out a petite figure. It was dark in the room till she snapped her fingers and flames sparked between them.This woman before me had mana surging through her

With a sudden jolt of limbs and muffled screams which tried to escape his mouth, the young man moved violently on the bed he was sleeping on. His panicked demeanour was loud enough to wake up the young lady who was sleeping beside him.His fists clenched tight on the blanket, while cold sweat ran down his forehead. Eyes shut tight as if trying to hide from something which was hovering right before his eyes. Lips trembling and legs shaking, while he kept struggling to escape this nightmare.The young lady was terrified, even though it wasn't the first time she was seeing it happen. But still, watching a person scuffle for their life while only whimpers left their throat was terrifying. With not even a tiny clue of what to do, she stared at him with her eyes wide open."Ma… please… I'm…", a few unclear words escaped the young man's mouth. He was in pain and she could see it clearly on his constricted face.Despite her confusion and inability to comfort him, she wanted to help him. There

Today is my first day at our new senior academy. I wouldn't say I'm nervous but I can definitely say that I'm not as excited as the energy ball walking beside me. We left our room an hour before as Laeratia didn't want to be late for the orientation program.I was waiting with her on the sidewalk waiting for a cab as we weren't not going to walk to the academy. It was situated on the outskirts of the main town because the campus is literally vast enough to be declared a town on its own.Standing on the sidewalk, the early sun rays were piercing my eyes. I lifted my left hand to cover my eyes from it. The sky was clear and it was a pleasant day with a gentle cold breeze brushing past us. Neither was it too humid nor too dry.My eyes turned towards the road as I heard the sound of wheels coming to a halt with a screeching noise. It was a white cart with two doors painted in black which meant it could fit 4 people legally. Even though I have seen 6-7 people travelling in these wagons co

"So boring!!!" Krisia complained, sitting next to me in the auditorium. Yes, the name of the girl with the brown ponytail was Krisia. The girls were sitting together and I was sitting at the farmost edge next to Krisia. For the last half an hour, we were waiting for the orientation to start so Laeratia decided it would be a good idea to introduce each other.Very interesting indeed.I wasn't in favour of that idea completely because introducing yourself to random people you just met on your way towards a common destination seems a bit too meticulous. But I also hated socializing. Not because I was terrible at it but because it used to discharge my social battery quickly.And that's how we got to know each other's names. And somehow it turns out that Krisia, Laeratua and I were in the same class. But the other two girls, Jaswyn and Cleoa were in a different class than their friend Krisia.I wish I was in a different class."You don't talk much, do you?" Krisia asked, as I looked towar
