Chereads / Magique / Chapter 39 - How Come...?

Chapter 39 - How Come...?

Snow stood tall, high horse on the peak of the Lizard's head. As their eyes had not yet deceived them, Zero and the rest of his group saw quite a drastic change from their own professor. His reformed clothes had been torn apart, hair mushed up upwards, and deep scarlet hues glowing in his eyes; thirst in violence and bloodlust. Various magic particles twists around him, even producing a whirlwind barrier, making the students stare in awe in spite of what their future awaits. Even the reliable adult, professor Zync, could be seen trembling from his hands, shaken from the power that Mr.Snow holds.

"So this is the power of the representatives" Zero murmurs. Miraculously, he was the only person to be immune right before these two monstrous sight. Each of these individual pose a large threat to mankind. Having a pair for it to appear spells 'doom' in the back of the students mind.

"No, Snow isn't the representative. He wasn't fit to be, as far as I remembered" Zync meddles in, hearing the thoughts of his students. "He is indeed powerful...but" his words was cut off by the hellish roar that both Snow and the Behemoth produced. Anyone who was present in the vicinity quickly covered their ears, minimising the horrible audio that can render them deaf. The loud screech lasted for 5 seconds, making everyone fazed from terror.

"Tch" Professor Zync clicks his tongue. He shifts his sight, glancing over to the teenagers who are awfully lying around, clenching in pain.

"AARGH"

"MAKE IT STOP!"

Like instruments played in a vile tune, echoes from these students had reappeared from the previous scene they had went to. The people who could stand and yet again forcefully escaped the sound wrath helped the students regain their composure, telling themselves that everything will be somehow alright. Trust your professor, they said. But how could they? Zooming closely on the figure standing at the pinnacle of the monster was Snow, the principal himself.

"HEY HEY, DON'T LOSE HOPE!" Zync's voice, despite the clouded atmosphere, builds in a strong foundation of trust from the students, avoiding their landfall

"Light, take Jane and Rey to a safer place farther from here. And Rey…" Zero opens his menu and grabs the potion he currently has in his inventory.

Inventory

Do you wish to receive 2 mana potions?

Yes

Flickering light envelopes Zero's hand, slowly taking of a form of a standard jar of water, just a little bit antique in design. Zero tosses him an azure coloured bottle (potion), unique from its kind. "Drink this. Don't worry, it ain't poison. This will help you feel rejuvenate well, got it?"

Rey catches the bottle thrown in mid-air by Zero, landing perfectly from his hands. Rey stares back and forth from the rare item that he gave. Unsure on what to do, he at least should follow his saviour's instructions. He knew Zero's intentions are pure. Disregarding him on these kind of situation would be dangerous for them to continue, thus so obliged.

"Got it" Rey responds, making his injured leg followed the figure of Light carrying Jane on his arms. As he ran towards their unknown and distant destination, he opens the neck of the bottle and swiftly gobbled the 100 millilitre liquid. As soon as the mana potion had been fully consumed and absorbed in his body, his dry mana reservoir slowly fills fit, making him regaining his strength at a rapid state.

"Zero…just what is this thing you gave me?" an answer that had yet again left untouched from his brain

Zero feels relieved on the trust Rey had shown unto him, making him more confident on the path he should take. Currently, he was the assistant of Professor Zync leading his whole class to safety.

"Lilith, drink this too. It may somehow help you regenerate your drenched mana pool" handing her over the unique bottle once more.

"Okay…" she unbottles the cup, drinking it whole. As though clenching her thirst, her mana began to strengthen and regroups from the reaction of the bottle. Nobody knows how does the potion works its magic. One theory that a researcher claimed from the historical books that Zero had read from the library said that the azure fluid fills the vessel, soothing the flow of the blood and oxygen towards the heart and brain. Magic, as they all know, resides on the atmosphere and its user or mages. Hence, drinking the mana potion that Zero had given was the most effective way to deal with a soaked mana capacity. But little did he knew that these mana potions were incredible rare to near extinction, and a mere 12 year old kid had fantastically produced one in thin air.
