"Taya... maybe now is the best time for you to give me an actual job instead of being a support," Qi requested."Fine, do whatever you want, just don't get in our way," Taya responded."Alright! Let's do this!" he cheered.Qi stepped from the side and confronted Leonard."Stop right there," he ordered him."Oh? What do we have here?" Leonard asked."Might possibly be accomplices of the children, don’t go easy on them, I’ve learned my lesson," Braille answered."Braille telling me not to go easy on these pipsqueaks? Then you people must be the real deal," Leonard commented.Qi took out his sword from its scabbard."I'm warning you.""I'll take you in your challenge," Leonard answered.On the other hand, Taya was slowly walking toward Braille."What is this girl's ability?" she wondered.Taya came to a halt then she noticed of those behind Braille."Hang on… Hazel? Lili? Is that you two?""Taya? Taya Vise?" Hazel asked."Taya? Who's that person?" Lili questioned."This is no time for a
Horka and Trod were inside the school. They were on the bottom floor, in their arms; they held the principal and his board director."Hey, Horka, where do you think we should drop the two?" Trod asked."We should ask them the situation first," Horka responded.He looked everywhere."Over there," he pointed to the third classroom from the entrance.Both headed to the door of the room and they entered inside. They made the principal and the board director sit on two vacant seats."Wh-Why?" Eauvis questioned.Horka and Trod noticed him speak."Why what?" Horka asked."Why did you bring us here? You two should've made a run for it. This is no place to be. Why did you two even come here?" Eauvis wondered."We'll answer your questions one at a time. We brought you here because we wanted to see what was going on with the school and figured that it was a safe haven," Horka answered."We came here because we felt like visiting. We also wondered when the Adventure Semester or if you can even ca
The dogs were approaching the girls as Qi ran back to them."Uhh, Lili, now what do we do? They're gonna crush us!" Hazel panicked."Less talk, more haste!" Taya replied.She cast two spells, "Swiftness. Strength."She grabbed her sledgehammer and ran at the number of devil dogs headed their way."Take this!" she yelled.She swung her sledgehammer gracefully and crushed the skulls of the dogs one by one. Lili felt adrenaline; she wanted to treat it like a killing competition."That's right! We can't let her beat us, Hazel!" she cheered.Crack.She grasped the neck of a devil dog and broke it."Th-This is brutal!" Hazel panicked."No use in worrying about that. Take your weapon or spell of choice and kill away!" Lili replied."U-Uh…""Hey, Taya, can you do me a short favor and create an iron sword for Hazel here?""What?" she asked.Three dogs jumped at her but she hit them all with a single strike. Their bodies fled to the left."Fine," she grunted.She chanted, "Create Iron Sword."A
"You got past my devil dogs? With so few scratches too, impressive… Braille's advice to not underestimate you were spot on," Leonard said."You people are still underestimating us, if you truly didn't, you would have attacked us while your dogs are attacking," Lili answered."Child, I'm afraid you've read me all wrong. Observation is essential to a fight and that's exactly what I've been doing. I keep a calm head at all times.""Leonard, I'll help you beat up this brat," Braille insisted."Braille, don't," Leonard refused."Why?""You'd only hold me back.""But-""Look at that girl."Braille did what she was told."What about her?" she asked."Can you see her expressions?" he questioned."Of course, I can! Why are you asking me these questions at this time?""You didn't look clearly, so I'll tell you what I see. What I see before me is a child who's intent on killing you.""Is that supposed to scare m-""I am a great judge of character, her expressions tell me that this is not the fir
Phize and Trif sat on the platform of the highest floor. They were resting. "Sheesh, when are the dogs gonna leave?" Phize grunted. "They'll get tired soon. They are still living things and as such they need to rest too," Trif answered. "Why don't we see what's happening down below and try to be aerial support?" "I'm not too sure of that idea; we don't know where Helix went. He may try to use our spells against them or us instead, so it's best not to do anything in the meanwhile." "Can't you do the thing where you cast an elemental spell before landing?" "Sorry, I can't, I've tried already. Only you can do it." "Guess we're stuck here, I wouldn't want to go solo. Speaking of which, I've gotten pretty low on mana, so I'm gonna pot up. How about you?" "Likewise. Magilation indeed does provide inhumane strength and elemental resistance but it chews away your mana bit by bit." "Yup." Phize chanted, "Storage Magic." A portal opened and he put his hand in it. He grabbed a flask wi
"M-Master, we're sorry," Braille weakly apologized."No need, Braille. I put too much load on your hands.""PUT YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR!" the soldier repeated.Spellmaster turned around."Who is he?" Hazel wondered.Spellmaster walked towards the army of 20 soldiers."We'll shoot you!" the leader of the soldiers warned as he stepped forward."You don't want this fight," Spellmaster said."Prepare your crossbows!"The rest of the soldiers did what they were told and aimed their crossbows at him.Suddenly, Spellmaster directed his hand to the hordes of devil dogs gathering at Leonard.He cast a spell, "Ultrasonic End."Although at first glance, nothing had happened, the dogs were whimpering and closed their ears until they all fell unconscious. From the gathering of dogs, Leonard climbed out."Shoot!" the leader ordered.They did what they were told and all shot arrows at him. Upon entering his magic radius, the arrows simply bounced off."Prepare second formation! Fire Squad! Ice Squa
Everyone went inside. The students, Eauvis and Grendall, as well as the soldiers. For the soldiers, from the 5 remaining, the 3 of them with few scratches decided to aid the 2 who had missing limbs. They wrapped some cloth around the affected area. Once they were all inside, Spellmaster stepped forward. Naturally, all of his enemies were furious with him. "Before we start this discussion, I'd like it if all of you stopped looking at me with such eyes. I want everyone as of this moment, to stop being enemies in the meanwhile." "Easy for him to say," Lili thought. He continued, "Martin, sorry, but can you fetch us some chairs? I want them to be comfortabl-" "We don't need your hospitality," Trif grunted. "Can you say that to the soldiers who were injured in battle?" "You were the one who inflicted them!" "This is war, child. All I'm proposing right now is a temporary truce." Trif refused to speak more. … .. . 3:03 PM There were chairs for every person in the hallway. Once t
"I apologize," Spellmaster said. He continued, "Let me explain this clearly. The Magic Network is one of Haydel's proposed theories, it is described as an untouchable place where any form of magic, evil and good, is defined." "Defined?" Phize pondered. "Simply said, it is where magic does what it does. Why magic works the way it does." He paused for a bit then went on. "Haydel. The most infamous person in the history of man. A grand master magic practitioner and might possibly be one of the strongest beings in the universe. I've read multiple texts about her and there was barely any new info about her. However, a few years back, I raided one of the Alganists' bases." "Hold on, what are Alganists?" Taya questioned. Spellmaster sighed, "You people barely know anything of this world. Fine." He elaborated further, "Alganists, one of Altrew's minority cults. They worship beings named as Algans. Supposed beings grant them powers. Now, back to the topic at hand. I raided one of their
