"I'll ask Tyrell but right now, we need to get to Mr Walker's class before he gives us another frightening lecture." Fina said
Zo shivered.
They got to Walker's class few minutes earlier but Walker was already in class.
His eyes traced them as they walked to their seat but didn't say a word.
"So, we meet again" He said
He was perched on the edge of a desk with his back to the board. If Mr Walker had been handsome in the last class, he was beyond handsome now. Girls blushed anytime he turned to them. Fina definitely knew he noticed but he didn't say anything to them.
"I assumed you've learnt the thirty spells. Show me"
All jaws dropped.
They all thought he was kidding with the assignment about coming to demonstrate one by one. They all demonstrated in front of him. Seventy percent failed.
Mr Walker didn't even hesitate when he took away their points.
"Guess, no food for sometime." No one said anything and he smirked.
"If you are too lazy to learn easy spells, how will you definitely cope with strong spells? I'm extremely disappointed but it's to be expected." David said "I heard from Winter that you've been giving the symbol disk. Don't let it get to your head. Not even a tiny bit"
Fina could swore his gaze landed on her briefly when he said the last part. It was not too easy to miss.
"I've seen a lot of people who get controlled by powers. It certainly never ends well. Being powerful comes with a lot of consequences. You lose your rational way of thinking. Again, don't let it get to you"
Fina looked down at her fingers.
It was clear that warning was for her and she couldn't handle the smirk of those who have been jealous of her since Mr Winter's class.
"What happens when you get all elements?"
Fina didn't bother to look at the speaker. It was definitely Nancy Miller.
Mr Walker didn't as much glance at Nancy.
"You become powerful" He said
Nancy nodded.
"So… Fina becomes powerful and she gets controlled by her powers and then it destroys her?" Nancy asked
The whole class was still as they couldn't believe that Nancy could ask such a bold question from Mr Walker just like that. The same Mr Walker whom they needed permission before speaking in his class. She just kept breaking more rules.
"Yes. Just like that" Mr Walker replied.
The whole class was extremely surprised Mr Walker answered but Nancy just smirked and flipped her hair like she has won a chess game with the Guardian Queen.
Fina looked at Mr Walker to find him already staring at her.
His cold gaze was extremely frightening but she didn't look away.
She finally broke the staring competition when Zo touched her hand, wrapping it in hers.
She looked at Zora and smiled even if what she was feeling inside was threatening to escape.
Nancy Miller had just sum up her life. Just like that. And Mr Walker had agreed to it.
"Well, I highly doubt that will happen. Highly. One certain hundred percent" Talon said
"Of course it will. Are you calling Mr Walker a liar?" Nancy asked
"Not to be rude but I think we are definitely in spell class not history class. And… Mr David Walker, aren't you missing something?" Shelly asked "Only the weak gets controlled but the strong ones resists. A strong person will never bow to weakness. They hate weakness"
Nancy glared at Shelly while Mr Walker still had his frozen expression on.
"And I don't think you should worry about Fina. It's nice of you though and Nancy… but we will take care of Fina Clark. Thanks. I really do want to learn some spells now. Thank you very much"
Talon winked at Shelly Jefferson and she made a gagging gesture.
Fina almost smiled at Shelly Jefferson's speech. If she had like Jefferson before, she loves Jefferson now. She wanted to give her a hug but Shelly seat is in the Aries side not Capricorns.
"I think you've all said enough. Now, shall we?" Mr Walker asked.
The whole class brought out their writing items.
"Durus. These are called protection spells. They are extremely important. There are potions spells too but this is better if you do not have any potions on you and it's extremely effective. Durus has been used for generations. It's been passed down for ages. Every one has different ways of using it. Different methods."
Zora itched to ask questions but was extremely scared of Mr Walker.
"Questions?" Walker asked, looking directly at Zo.
Fina wondered how he always knew when they needed something. The man was strange in so many ways.
"One, You said different methods. How possibly could it have different methods when it's just a word? Two, can protection spells also be tainted?"
"Yes, it can. Everything is not beyond getting tainted, we repulse it. And this has been a spell that have been used for ages. It will definitely have dirt on it" Mr Walker said, expressionless.
Fina could sense Mr Walker wasn't saying everything. The rest of his word hung in the room.
"Could there be dark magic?" Fina asked
It was definitely too late before she realized she has said it out and now the whole class was giving her a surprised look.
Mr Walker ignored her.
"Elfina teaches good spells. We are not evil. Not at all. And there is no evil here"
Fina could sense another unfinished sentence again. It's like something was whispering in her ear, telling her what Mr Walker wasn't saying completely.
Yes, there is. Light cannot exist without darkness. Darkness brought out light. Evil exists behind good. Both are like the halves of one another. There is evil everywhere. There is evil everywhere.
"Durus." Mr Walker said and shook his head. "Class dismissed.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. But none could question Mr Walker. Whatever reasons he had for ending the class like that, only he knew.
Fina looked up to see him staring at her and she quickly averted her gaze. Shelly rushed to their side and winked at Talon who was helping Serene Berry up her seat like she couldn't stand herself.
