"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
"Honestly, I'm flabbergasted. I didn't get a single person to agree or understand my concerns at hand. No matter, there is a reason that we were created differently, so we share different views and opinions," Spellmaster stated.He turned to Braille and Leonard."You two, go search around the school and find those grimoires," he instructed them."Roger!" both of them answered.Braille took the left side while Leonard took the right side.Martin shouted, "Braille! I haven't taken care of your broken arm yet!"All of them stood up."Hey! What are you doing?" Hazel yelled."I'm ordering them to find the grimoires," Spellmaster answered."You can't do that! We didn't agree to your cause.""I have to make you all understand. At whatever cost, I will go on and follow what my heart tells me to do.""You jerk!"Hazel ran off to chase Braille."Hazel!" Phize yelled.He was about to chase after her when Trif stopped him. Trif shook his head."We have a bigger problem in our hands," he said to P
Inside a classroom on the third floor, Helix was sleeping on a desk but he was disrupted when he felt violent rumbling.He stood up and looked everywhere."Where is that coming from?"The rumbling stopped. He went outside the classroom and examined his surroundings."Where did the devil dogs go?""I-I don't feel so good. My face feels numb, but the injuries in my leg seem to have stopped bleeding somehow," he thought."Thank goodness, I managed to grasp how to cast a healing spell thanks to Martin."More violent rumblings formed. He fell to the ground."GYAH!"It ended shortly after a few minutes."Ow, ow, ow…""Who's causing all these quakes down below?" he pondered.He managed to stand up and he walked slowly."I-I should go and check it out."A few steps in and he was met with another quake, although, this was stronger in magnitude. He lost his balance again and saw a part of the hallway got shredded through by two unknown objects. He stared in shock.Shortly after, he heard the so
Right off the bat, Spellmaster cast two spells simultaneously, "Kill Phize! Kill Phize! Kill Phize!" Three magic circles formed and were directed at Phize. "The kid must have Spell Intercept and I know very well that every spell has a bit of a cooldown. It prevents spell spamming," Spellmaster surmised. "Cancel," Phize thought. One of the magic circles broke and so did those that came after. "What? How did he-" Spellmaster wondered. Trif and Lili charged at him. He ordered her, "Chant these effect spells with me." She nodded. He chanted, "Strength. Speed." Lili followed his orders, "Strength. Speed." Both glowed red and yellow for a quick second. They charged Spellmaster. "Blowback," Spellmaster chanted. A strong force pushed both of them back. They held their ground. "First and foremost, I have to eliminate Phize Gratham Drestil. He possesses an unknown ability," Spellmaster intellectualized. "Come to me!" Lili yelled. Trif nodded and did what she told him. She grabbed
