Back at the hotel he lived in, inside his room, he was lying on his bed, cogitating over what he had just learned."I... don't know what to feel. Ansgar is here... but am I supposed to be happy or sad?"After a short assessment of his own feelings, he got an answer."I feel both.""Why is he here? How did he get here?" he asked himself......."I'll have to ask her when we go back to school..." he figured."One week left before we go back to school... time goes by so fast..."He touched his right chest."My heart... it's pounding. I'm nervous," he perceived.He rose from his bed."No use worrying about it for now. But I sure have a lot of questions for...""Uh, how should I refer Ansgar or Hazel now? Him or her?" he pondered.He smirked maliciously."Maybe I'll tease him about it."Lexia barged into his room."PHIZE!"He had a heart attack."WAH!"He stared at his mom."Oh, it's just you mom. Please don't surprise me like that.""Aw, what a killjoy. But... DID YOU BRING ANY FOOD? SO
Phize went back to class and sat on his chair."Where in the world is she?" he pondered.Hasha arrived back at the classroom. She went in front of the class."Class, I have an announcement to make. Due to arguments among the higher-ups, classes will be dismissed early throughout the whole school. Stay tuned for further announcements. With that, class dismissed, feel free to contact your parents."She left the room.The students stood up from their desks and packed up their bags."You've gotta be kidding me," he thought.He rose from his desk and went outside the classroom. He looked around the hallway."HAZEL?""God, why are you so against me? All I want is to ask her a question," he asked himself.An hour went by, it was now clear, no students were lurking inside the classrooms."She never went back."He went through the hallway and down the stairs. He went to the entrance, but he stopped in his steps in his cognizance."WAIT!"He facepalmed."I should've waited at the entrance inste
Grendall watched from a dark corner. He deeply sighed."This is going to cost us our reputation..."Eauvis continued, "With the knowledge that all of your parents have signed the form. That means they agree to participate in this activity as well as the fact that the activity starts now.""WHAT? MOM REALLY SIGNED SOMETHING THIS CRAZY? MOM, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" Phize panicked."I will be calling the team numbers one by one. The people associated with said group MUST go down the auditorium and Miss Hasha here *he points to Hasha who is beside him* and she will be providing you with the necessary equipment to prepare you for this wondrous event."He cleared his throat and began calling, "TEAM 1!"4 people stood up from the stadium and went down the stairs. This went on for quite a while."TEAM 109!"Phize was silently waiting for his number to be spoken out."TEAM 156!"4 more students went down the stairs. He looked cautiously around his surroundings."This is making me nervous," he
"OKAY! OKAY! Since none of us can decide who's leader, then how about we decide upon it with a game of chance," Hazel proposed. "I say arm wrestling," Trif replied. "Dumbass, you'll win. That's unfair." "ALRIGHT! LET'S JUST POINT AT THE PERSON WE WANT THE MOST TO BE THE LEADER!" Phize yelled. They nodded in agreement since they were already in dire need of a leader. They pointed to whoever they wanted to be a leader. Phize pointed at Hazel, but she pointed at Trif since she realized that Phize may still be suffering from trauma. Trif pointed at himself, but Lili pointed at Phize since she believed Trif was more ill-mannered to his teammates and Hazel as someone she thought was quite dumb because of how easily she was manipulated from the competition. Of course, Hazel herself harbored feelings of anger toward Lili for doing such an act. However, she was still displeased with the results of the proposed way. "AHHH! THIS IS GETTING NOWHERE! LET'S JUST DO THE ARM WRESTLING!" They ju
"We've been avoiding confronting each other for a few days now, I've had it. Hazel, err, Ansgar, how did you get here? What happened back in Germany? Why are you with me right now?" Phize asked her.She didn't answer him, she simply stared at him until she suddenly walked and stood beside him. She sighed."I didn't want to reveal this, but I guess nothing stays secret forever, does it?"She looked at the ceiling then she began speaking, "My name was Angar Wegener, son of Luitpold Wegener and Anika Wegener. When I was a child, I had no particular interest in any activity, this continued on for a few years till I was age 4. I stumbled upon a game, though, I don't remember what exactly it was, it gave me pleasure, and it was the only thing that I could have an interest in."He listened carefully to her backstory.She continued, "Then at age 5, I met you. I saw you being shunned by your hobby and such, but I found it fascinating on my end, I hoped we could've been partners, where you were
"I feel relieved. She came out to me. But now that I know what she went through, I'm not sure what to say. Heck, what is any person supposed to say in a situation like this?" Phize wondered. He thought for a while, then he came up with what to say, or at least, what was safe to say. "Don't worry. They can't hurt you... us... anymore. We live in a different world now. God has given us a second chance to live. What we couldn't have before, He gave to us in this world." "Yeah." ... .. . "CRAP! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY NOW?" he panicked. He scratched his head, Hazel noticed the awkward atmosphere and decided to ease the tension with a laugh. "Eh? Why are you laughing?" he asked. "No particular reason, I simply laughed out of joy." Because of her action, he was able to think of the appropriate thing to say. "Um, Hazel, or err... Ansgar? Which should I call you?" "Hmmm, call me Hazel now, I've been called like that for a few years now and it's not gonna change anytime soon, so
The next day went by. Inside their room, Trif woke up Phize in a quite violent manner, particularly casting a water spell on his face. "BWEH!" "Wake up. It's time to work," Trif told him. "Did you have to drown me in water?" "So the best quest I got today, was..." "He ignored me," Phize thought. He continued, "We're gonna be hunting for the Thysine Rose. It's found near the Trees of Diverse Nature, which is around two cities to our north. According to our client, its contents aim to cure Inmagilation." "Inmagilation? Are you sure you didn't mishear it as "imagination"?" "No, Inmagilation is a case of insufficient mana flowing in a person's body, be it more or less than enough. Its symptoms include headaches, nausea, and extreme fatigue. It's a common thing in those who use magic, yet you don't know even that?" "Okay, okay, Mr. Smartypants, you can take the crown." "Moving on, these are one of the main ingredients of a Mana Potion. So if we manage to bring back more than enou
Spellmaster was furious at them."What do you want from us?" he asked.Tara completely ignored him and commanded her men, "FIRE!"She pointed at him and hordes of bows were shot at him.He showed no fear and stepped forward.He pointed towards the arrows and chanted a spell, "Blast."From his pointer, a large surge of energy blasted the arrows into oblivion. However, the bandits were persistent, the moment the arrows were gone, they charged and ran after him.He sighed, "I will warn you all one last time. If you do not withdraw now, I will kill all of you without remorse."They did not heed his threat and continued to pursue him, closing in their distance by the minute."This is my last warning. Leave now," he told them.Again, they ignored him."I warned you..."He closed his eyes and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes once more.He chanted, "Groundbreaking Madness."His subordinates spaced away from him and then he punched the ground as hard as he can. His punch formed a crack
