The Witch's Revenge Chapter 15
Damon gives a single clap of his hands, making everyone go quiet for the fourth time. "Now, since there are so many teams, it will be impossible for you to do this two teams at a time. We will have five battles happen simultaneously, the opposing teams decided at random. Each teacher will oversee one battle."He nods toward the others Nen, Quinn, Erin, Ling and Marissa. It's Marissa who steps forward, dressed in the same outfit as always. Each battle will take place in an area we've prepared. Each area is different, but they are all very wide. You will need to find the opposing team first. You win by destroying these." She holds up some sort of armband, a small wooden plaque attached to it. "Each of you will wear this. Each of you will aim to destroy this, Knocking your opponent out is fine, The areas have been enchanted to prevent kill shots from being lethal, so anything goes."Of course it does, We're all way too inexperienced for them to further limit us. Yes, each of us probably

The front door to the post office breaks inward, a tall, blonde young man standing on the other side. Just like the rest of us, he's got his school uniform on, but he's already discarded the vest and tie."Hey, Hotaru. Sorry about this"Rather than aiming for Rosa or Yan, as predicted, he throws himself at me, aiming a punch at my head. Flames burst into life between us, cutting him off and forcing him to move back. It's not a lot of fire maybe enough to consume a watermelon whole but Mac happens to be wary of it.Maria starts throwing small, orb-shaped flames at him, with each one getting swatted away by lan's forearms. Not a single bum appears on him, however, the protective spell Borg already in place. True witches can use that one all the time, without even trying. With Mac, it definitely takes some focus, which he's free to do since he knows he can't go making flowers sprout in a place like this.I throw a basic projectile at him, the green light flying around his head. Since thi

Mac runs up to the floor just above us, stopping to stare. Maria throws a small fireball at him, but he has no trouble punching through it.He's using the same spell as Rosa. Must mean she's our B. Good. She should be able to handle herself up on the rooftop, then, if the two enemies attack.Mac comes running toward me, Yan still his target. I get between them, letting my attack magic show. Mac holds a hand up above his eyes to stop himself from being blinded again as if I could pull it off now. With Haywire in effect, I'm nothing when it comes to magic.So instead, I latch onto him, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling us both toward the hole in the wall lam's trap made. Maria keeps hitting him with fireballs, each one sending us deeper into the apartment. He struggles and thrashes, and as soon as he manages to grab my arm, easily pries it off of himself."It's a magic fight!""No rule says that." I grin at him, but it's all just bravado. In a physical fight, I wouldn't be su

An ord of light springs to life between his palms, which lan throws forward. Rocks break out of the ground and rise toward the light, wrapping around it in drones, soon forming a boulder. Rosa stops running, only staring at the spell in horror."GET DOWN!"Rosa throws herself on the ground, covering her head. I thrust my arms out, releasing the spell I prepared. This time, my timing is right, and lar's eyes widen as he realizes it.Haywire hits it directly, scattering the rocks in every direction. One of them hits his plaque, shattering it and ending the match. The light from his spell goes unstable and vanishes, the rest of the rocks and stones harmlessly falling down.As Resa stands back up, she has a nervous look on her face. "I screwed up."What? She didn't. She got it right; Her timing was perfect. We won! "What are you"Her armband falls off her upper arm, the plaque on it split in two,"It hit the ground when I did."The city vanishes, all eight of us back at the school lobby,

"I-I can't he help it" stutters the tall, blonde giant. He must be in tears to sound like that. I can barely understand him. The following words he says, I miss completely.I give the bathroom door a few knocks"Busy," lan tells me, tone tough and composed. Huh, Must not have been that close to Maya."She's alive""We're busy What?"As the door opens, I'm faced with lan's scowl. "What did you just say?"Mac is behind him, on the ground, hugging the toilet. His face is an absolute mess red eyes, dishevelled hair, snot around his mouth. Yikes."Maya is alive""Bullshit. I was there. I saw""She died, but the doctor can revive her"Mac starts breathing hard, looking at something behind me or maybe nothing at all."You've gotta be shitting me, grumbles lan, le

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. I'm sure you've heard the song before. Comes from an old trading festival, which I will be invoking right now to get a bit of symbolism going."I'll be buying something of yours off of you now, lan, using these." I hold the coins up, looking at him. "It can be whatever you have on you. Then you do it with Erik, he can do it with Mac, and he can do it with me. Once we've all done business, we'll trade a few of the item son us, until each of us is also a trader, Clear enough?"With each of them giving me a nod, I take my seat, then toss the coins at lan. "I'd like your shoe, please" He tosses it back at me, turning to Erik. "Give me your tie With a roll of his eyes, the blonde mutters something, but throws the tie forward anyway. "Give me your watch." Of course the rich kid would go for the expensive thing. Mac almost drops the money due to how hard Erik throws it, but manages to grab it all, hitting the aristocrat in the forehead with the watch "Sorry

HOTARUA few mornings after, it's tense in our room, with neither lan nor I looking at the other. Mac does the opposite, repeatedly looking from one of us to the other"Are you guys fighting?"Instead of looking at him, I meet larr's sulky gaze. "Of course not"Wouldn't dream of it. We just pressed pause""Yes. No need to be bitter about the situation in the least"Standing up, lan puts a hand on his hip. "People could have gotten hurt."If he thinks giving me attitude is enough to make me back down, he's misjudged our relationship. "It was an accident Let it go.""If it was an accident, tell the teachers. They'll understand. It won't affect your points with them.""I'm sure they will right after they give each of us a critical warning. Do you want that?"Saying nothing, he crosses his arms and just stands there. Stubborn bastard."I don't have time for this Spirituality is about to start."And I spend it doing the same thing as always - mindlessly glaring at my crystal orb. Everyone

"I wanted to cast a spell, and wanted something to help me with it." I go on to describe just what happened, what was intended, and the fact that I began the Rule of Three anyway. Once I'm done, Erin's jaw is clenched tight."Hecate? You used a circle to summon Hecate?""Yes." I already said this. What's wrong?"From one of my books?""Yes..?""Hotaru, there was no such circle in any of my books""What? What is she talking about? "I'm not lying-""I'm not saying you are," she cuts in. "I'm saying somebody messed with the books-somebody who wanted the summoning of Hecate to be attempted. I just want to know how they knew which book to do it to. I checked them all and only yours is missing the page. The others are all normal. Who have you told your plans to?""Nobody" Which is true. Absolutely all my plans for revenge are mine alone. There's no need to involve others in it."Think. Somebody must have known. That's the only explanation""Nobody knew.""This isn't a game!" she screams, a
