(a week later)" [Hunter who dominates all prey, give your gift to me] " Aella said writing the magic conjuration on herself " {Cheetah speed}A mystical white aura covered Aella's body, and in a single step she moved, shortening the distance between her and her opponent, the surprised man only had time to raise his sword and block the attack, putting strength in his muscles he pushed it away with only this resuming the original distance." Who knew that such a simple magic would make so much difference " praised the man " she's 2nd level, isn't she?" Have you mastered something like this in your first year?"" It's not that good, it only lasts a minute and I get tired afterwards " said Aella removing the magic " the better versions are from higher levels, I'll learn next year." Assuming you go back to the academy next year, right?" commented the other, irritating Aella " well, it's not like you can't learn right here with a private master." We'll go back to the academy, the two of
"Welcome," said Ashera upon hearing the doorbell." Already promoted?" asked a familiar voice.Ashera turned around and saw Isott at the door, she didn't expect to see her friend visit her at work and quickly went to help her, Isott explained that she was passing through the area and decided to visit her." The girl who takes care of the counter had to leave and they asked me to take her place " explained Ashera " I continue to take care of the storage of herbs." That's great, I want to buy some herbs and it will be better to talk to you " said Isott " do you have herbs to relax the mind?"" We have some here, I'll get the samples for you " replied Ashera " here they are, these..."I'm looking for something stronger," said Isott." Stronger?" Stronger than that, just narcotics " said Ashera a bit scared " we don't deal with that here, don't tell me you… use these things?"" You want to know if I do drugs?" Of course not, but I read it in a book about mental magic related to herbs " e
" Master!" shouted Napilla jumping on Onyx." Look who's back!" My little dog!" replied Onyx hugging the feral all happy." You cut her, beat her, burn her... and even so she returns happy to you " said Derek indignantly " poor Napilla, what a cruel destiny to love a monster." Hello, you too " Onyx said when she saw Derek " did you enjoy your vacation well?"" And like, I feel completely renewed " he replied satisfied " I'm ready to face another year, even if I have to put up with you." I'll remember that in the practical tests " she replied with a mean look " but did you bring what I asked for?"Derek took his backpack and took a bag from inside it, in this bag was the earth that Napilla dug and collected from the place where Derek was born." Who do you need it for?" he asked." I told you when you asked, didn't I?" It's for something you'll like, she replied."That's too vague, and you never do anything nice for others," he said." What wrong idea do you have of me, I'm not will
" Come on, it's about to start!" said one of the students hastily." Wait for me!" replied his girlfriend equally excited.These two as well as many others were running in the same direction, all of them eager to watch the duel that would soon unfold.The academy's arena was also used as a classroom for combat magic, in authorized duels so it was the only place where one could fight, always under the supervision of at least one teacher.This time the arena was packed, practically all students from the 2nd year and up came to watch the duel, and those who would participate were even embarrassed by it, there were even crowds and bets going on." How did a simple duel become such a spectacle?" Aella asked herself, rubbing the back of her neck." Sorry about that, when we booked the arena some students found out " replied Derek a little awkwardly " and in an instant the news spread." The only question that remains is to know who they really want to see " said Urick, looking around " if
" I just need to confirm one thing, did you say something about me to that guy?" Derek asked." Not me, why would I say something?" asked Merilda " by the way, what do you think I said to him?"Derek asked her to forget about it, the fact was that the young boy seemed to know his past, something that few within this academy would know, intricate with that Derek was investigating as much as he could, after all Angelo Huo had challenged him to a duel." You have no reason to accept it, do you?" Merilda said next to her " it's not like duels are mandatory." It's a good way to improve your skills, apart from that it's boring to spend the whole year without a practice isn't it?" he justified " but I'm still deciding, I just need to give an answer one day before." Angelo Huo, what a mysterious man " said Merilda thoughtfully " he arrived at the beginning of the year like everyone else, but only now he seems to be showing himself around." Maybe he was getting ready, the bullies I knew a
" Is it okay to leave it like that?" asked the young secretary." What are you referring to?" Androuet asked as he read a report." Angelo Hou, he was sent by an acquaintance of yours, wasn't he?" she said " but the academy does not distinguish between students, even so he continues to cause problems." In his country of origin, the strongest rule and the weakest obey, it would be difficult for him to adapt here " joked Androuet a little " my intention is that he understands how things really work, other points of view." He's going to duel against Derek today, stopping to think about it I realized that Derek is accepting practically two duels a month " she said checking a paper " this could be bad for the classes, everyone misses to attend." I don't see it as a problem, our students would never have the chance to analyze black magic safely " he explained " with Derek here even the teachers are learning something."Are you thinking of giving him a job here, by any chance?" Falma aske
Lightning flew acIsaak the arena making a loud hiss, a beam of light cIsaaked the arena to take position in another corner, arcane words appeared in the air as mages cast their spells.This was another duel in the academy arena, a week after Angelo and Derek had their fight another one was already taking place in the same place, once again Angelo was the protagonist of the fight, but his opponent was someone else, someone who was managing to press him to the maximum and make everyone believe in their defeat." I can't believe it, Angelo is really losing... " said an incredulous student." Merilda was that strong?" I had no idea " said another watching everything in the same state." Damn it, I'm going to lose the bet again!" complained another frustrated.What was happening in the arena was really unexpected, Angelo panting and kneeling on the ground while Merilda was very well and ready to attack him, a luminous aura coated her body while several white spheres floated around her like
" Just to clarify, can you explain better what you said?" Derek asked." I want to get rid of a guy, his name is Bron Freethorne from the creation magic course " replied Aella." That's what I thought, and can you tell me why you want to get rid of him?" Derek continued." He's threatening Merilda, I'd like to avoid giving more details " said the other one, unable to face him." When you say "threatening" it sure isn't something physical, because you could protect her " said Derek " which means he's blackmailing Merilda, in a way that you want to silence him.Aella couldn't hide the shame she felt, after thinking carefully she could only come up with this solution, and on top of that she sought out the Derek who had already helped Merilda so much, she felt ashamed that she thought he might get his hands dirty for his selfish desire. ." It doesn't make sense to ask what he's using against you, because it would be one more person knowing that " he said " but I have to ask, is what he's
