It was Monday, and Dad was supposed to have gone with his elf friend to complete the paperwork to become an Imperial citizen.
When I got home with my sisters I hoped that Dad was there, but he didn't come, at first I didn't worry, in fact, I thought he was having fun healthy, but.
What I did not expect was that he would arrive drunk and smelling of liquor, nor that the collar of his shirt had lipstick marks, as well as his lips. The woman who kissed him seems to enjoy it (damn)
According to the elf, it was a young woman from the guild.
Talk to my friends the next day.
The three of us were sitting on the steps near the library.
Isabel couldn't stop laughing.
Juliana put one of her hands on my shoulder, "let your dad have fun, after all he almost never goes out" she told me "doing adult things is not the end of the world"
I know! I say "but Dad was drunk when he entered that stupid contest"
"How sad your father must have been, to be kissed by a beautiful woman" adds Isabel, while she kisses me "however I hope my mother does not find out and something else, did your aunt answer the letter?
I look at the sky and I see that it is getting cloudy "no" I say and add "I doubt that I would have read it"
At the end of our break we go to class.
as we headed to the classroom again, but we ran into the "empress", she was wearing a student council sash on her right arm, she was fulfilling her duties
"Look, we have here the sorceresses and the rumi" exclaims the "empress" or for me the "cliché" "they are late to go to class"
We ignored her and continued on our way, while we talked about multiple things.
That made him upset.
I'm talking to you! She exclaims furiously.
Her name is Natalia Sidorova, she is from the north (she must have stayed there) and like all northern humans she has fair skin, pink cheeks, green eyes and blonde hair, she has a braid in her right bangs, she wears glasses, she belongs to the other Class usually goes with her friends (or guardians as she says) but now she goes alone, she is also part of the student council and now she is fulfilling her duties.
What do you want walking cliche? (In the novels that my younger sister Antonia reads, Natalia looks a lot like the main character)
Walking cliche? She doesn't understand what I said.
"Seee" he exclaimed lazily.
"Listen sorceress, the physical exams are coming and I'm going to do shit to you," she says annoyed.
OHHHH! really? I reply, "I'd like to see you make it cliche" "Besides, isn't someone from the student council supposed to threaten the students?
She adjusts her glasses "You believe yourself a lot just because you are one of the sorceresses of the empire, but I will be the next empress and when I am the first thing I will do is kick you out" Ha! "And also to you another sorceress" she points to Isabel, who points to herself and then lifts her shoulders nonchalantly as she continues eating.
"If you make him stupid, the empire loses one of its weapons, it would only be to go to Liare to enlist with them"
"It would be the perfect excuse to start a war"
"Terrible empress, terrible ruler, stop joking Natalia, I know you're not that stupid"
"Let's stop playing games" he says while, "I hate you since elementary school and now that we are in the first year of high school is when I can take advantage and destroy you"
And how will you do it, asshole?
"I already told you, in the next physical exam I will destroy you and have you expelled for being useless"
"Let's go Maki, stop wasting time with the little girl," Juliana tells me.
"Wait Natalia I have something for you" I make him take something out of my pocket and give him a bad signal with my finger while I laugh.
My behavior in the academy and in front of dad is different that is more than clear.
Also, I love to see Natalia get angry.
At the academy few things matter to me outside of my studies in alchemy or history, sometimes I am rude or bad class just like my "dear aunt" (although she is elegant, but has a terrible temperament).
Wretched! Natalia says furiously as she comes out of her role as the perfect girl.
That was what I wanted to see her upset.
Her reaction amuses me, she always behaves like the best of all and perfect, secretary in the student council, excellent grades and all the teachers love her, but when she is close to me she brings out her true self, a rude brat.
I imagine the same thing happened to Dad when he studied here.
"Fuck you idiot, we'll see that day what will happen" I say and continue my way with my friends.
I know it's going to be nothing since he has a reputation to protect, but I don't have a reputation to protect so I'm not interested.
I still don't understand why Juliana talks to you, a rumi of her reputation shouldn't mess with you! Shouts.
Juliana stops and replies "because she's my best friend, do I need more?"
Why is nobody talking about me? Isabel wonders.
"Because nobody cares about you," I tell him.
Isabel reacts by pushing me and I laugh at her.
"Natalia is just another idiot, she would not dare to such stupid things. I have had to put up with it since elementary school and it has never done anything "
Isabel is not bothered as much as I am, that is due to the power of her family.
Many times the two of them have told me to say that I am also a witch and that my parents were adventurers of high rank, but it does not seem right to live under the shadow of my parents, I want my own way, also the identities of my parents are maintained secretly by imperial order.
Natalia remains grumbling alone for a while until her companions arrive and she comes to herself.
We were in class and the three of us were doing a group activity.
I've been reviewing my last few months since Mom left and Dad's reappearance which is very different from what it once was. Sometimes I doubt that I can use sorcery again. Although I like that Dad does not risk his life, he is now a man of the home and some may mistake him for a housewife.
"By the way, how is your father doing?" Isabel asks me, while reading the guide that we had to solve.
"Much better, it is dedicated to the home" I answer while writing the answers for the other part of the guide.
And when does a woman take it away from you? Is he going to be the wife? Isabel laughs, as she hands me the guide.
"You're a bitch Isabel" he exclaimed in a low voice.
Juliana puts her arm over my shoulder "Cheer up Maki, your father will always be at home looking after you with your sisters and his wife. After all, she is a fabulous housewife, any woman with a job will love it "
"Wretch" I push her to get rid of her.
As always in classes, the teacher scolds us, I don't pay attention in magic classes, I cheat in evaluations (with my sorcery it is impossible for them to detect me). I am intelligent, but I do not like to stand out, I like to be in the middle zone, I go to the academy only for the certificate and the entrance tests to the imperial university in the last year.
In the future, after obtaining my university degree, I want to open my own alchemy business in the southern capital, since most of the ships with raw materials arrive there and, most importantly, with many potential clients.
When I leave class I do the typical thing, I pick up my sisters and then we go home, Dad waits for us with cookies, along with his cute smile, although I don't like to admit it Dad if he looks like a housewife, but that is his charm, is young man, he knows how to cook and many other things, he takes care of us all three, he helps us in whatever way he can, he tells stories to my sisters, I can calmly tell him many things, he always asks us how our day was. It makes us forget that we lost mom to illness, he keeps referring to mom as his saving angel.
When he tells fables to my sisters I like to listen to him. From his favorite author Rafael Pombo or also the stories of Hans Andersen and the Brothers Grim or something that tells him Russian stories and my goodness how I love his stories of what he calls Star Wars by George Lucas, the last time we combed our hair like the characters feminine in her history, I did Padme's hairstyle, while Anna did Rey's and Antonia did Leia's.
Sometimes I would like to ask him about his past life, but I'm scared to hear what he would say.
His friend the elf always accompanies him and actually helps him around the house, I think that as an imperial guard he has a lot of free time.
Although I like him to some extent, but I like his troll friend more as he is an educated man and a great merchant (and he does not intoxicate dad to make him a prize in a contest)
Dad keeps talking about wanting to get a job, he wants to get money for himself and not depend on his funds.
It was Wednesday and history classes have just started.
The teacher was telling us through a very detailed magical illusion how the war against pirates in the South Seas had been 30 years ago.
History is interesting, history is my second stronghold, after all part of my sorcery skills I owe to history.
There was something that kept me restless, I feel as if something bad was going to happen, since I had arrived at the academy I felt my head spinning.
From the first class I feel that someone was watching me, they have also started scratching my eyes, as if I were sleepy.
I wrote something on a sheet of paper, I turned it into a ball and waited for the teacher to distract himself to throw it at Isabel, he threw it at her because it seemed that it was something that related us both.
She read it and then wrote something on another sheet, detached it from her notebook.
I transport her to my post.
"Why are you throwing that in my face if you can carry it at my post? And if I also feel that something is watching us "
I am writing to you again telling you to make up an excuse to go to the bathroom and talk about it, we would not say anything to Juliana since this was something for wizards, we are unfortunate, but we do not want our friend to be hurt.
I raise my hand and tell the teacher that I must go to the bathroom for women's things and I want Isabel to accompany me.
The teacher adjusts his glasses and allows us to go out.
Juliana observes us doubtfully, she knows that we are going to do something.
Outside the living room, near the bathrooms.
There weren't many students out of class.
"You also felt that something is observing us," Isabel tells me.
We both feel the same, it seems that something is looking for us.
"Yeah, what the hell is going on?"
"No idea, but it makes me uneasy"
Something takes us from the back of the collars of our shirts.
Hey you two! They plan to leave me out true?
It was Juliana who, grimacing with her mouth, was annoyed.
"It is not your business, you idiot" answers Isabel, getting away.
Hum!
The two cross their arms and turn their backs.
"Enough both" I say trying to calm them down, "we just don't want you to get involved and how did you get out?
"I told the teacher that I should do women's things too, you know that he lets himself talk not like another teacher" he says and continues, get involved in what?
"Well you see it is ..."
A magic blade flies straight at Isabel, but I quickly create a shield and get between the magic blade and my friend.
The blade bounces and disappears.
Get your hand off my idiot bust!
"This is how you thank the person who saved you, you also don't have much"
"Ohhh, what a beautiful sword" Juliana says surprised, where did you get it from? I thought you only knew how to fight at a distance?
"You should know that I lie a lot, but that's not the important thing" I look at Juliana and she nods.
"I already have the trace of mana" she tells me confidently.
Then I look at Isabel.
"We may face something, can you use your sorcery to defend us?" in the academy facilities we cannot use our skills at 100% at most we can use them at 15%
Are you kidding right? "Do you think I'm useless without my fairies?"
"The truth is," I answer.
"You're a bitch, plus aren't you supposed to only know how to use ranged sorcery?" she exclaims annoyed.
"I don't have to reveal all my spells to the other sorceress in the country" we both looked at each other suspiciously "you haven't taught them either"
She makes a small face.
"You're right"
I make my shield disappear and for some strange reason there is no one around, it is as if everything was manipulated, it seems that he wants us to find it. How long has it been since we left the classroom? About 5 or 10 minutes? More than 15 minutes? I doubt that the teacher will not notice that 3 students are missing, while we walk through the corridors of the academy I feel that the tension increases, the corridors are continually lengthening, I do not remember that the academy was like that.
No matter how much we run, we don't get anywhere, we always go through the same corridors, or we cross the laboratories and fields.
Juliana stops she is tired of running and not getting anywhere, she rests her hands on her knees.
Shit how could we be so stupid! She exclaims annoyed.
Isabel places her hands behind her head and looks to the right.
"We fell round into an illusion" he adds, "we have been running aimlessly for more than 20 minutes"
Was it before or after he deflected the dagger? I say confused, my head hurts just thinking about it. A damn illusionist magician screwed us up at three o'clock and why at three o'clock? He must hate us a lot.
Juliana can you still track it? Ask Isabel and your Maki, can you use your spells at a distance?
He hadn't thought about it carefully. I move my fingers trying something and yes, there are my spells, I also see the mana flows. I look at my friend and shake my head.
Do you see them too? I ask him.
She crosses her arms "yes, although it is very little mana that is in this place, then I doubt that we have moved from the academy"
Illusory magic is extremely dangerous, we will pay dearly for any mistake we make. For this reason, we must be cautious, whoever did it created an almost perfect illusion of the academy and plans to trap us in it,
Juliana is looking for the magic trail, we have not moved from our point yet, wonderful! She exclaims in rumi.
We run until we reach the old facilities, one of the areas that we were prohibited from entering because they were being demolished, and it was planned to build new science and magic laboratories.
As expected everything was in rubble, dark classrooms and rusty stalls, a gloomy setting perfect for an ambush, although nothing happens to us, we just continue our way until we reach the wizard, sometimes the corridors narrow, others widen, too they distort and even change colors.
Inside a room there is a stranger sitting on top of the teacher's old desk, the subject is juggling two magic daggers, he doesn't even pay attention to us.
It is impossible to recognize him since he wears a strange owl mask, judging by his size I would say that he is older than us by 2 years.
The stranger stops and turns his head like a royal owl, wearing a dark hood, black pants and high boots.
It is impossible for me to identify if it is a man or a woman, it does not seem to have breasts, but that can be disguised with illusory magic or as it happens to me and Isabel that we have nothing, not like Juliana. Sometimes I envy her body.
"I did not expect the two sorceresses to come" said the stranger with an irregular voice "and unless they brought a magician" the stranger dusts the magic daggers with which he played and gracefully descends from the desk, wipes the dust from his clothes and makes a bow to us.
His presentation is as false as himself.
"They have saved me the work" he exclaims while adjusting the hood "I think the magician must die, they only told me to take the two sorceresses"
I create my gladius.
Isabel prepares to create defensive earth sorcery.
Juliana uses reinforcement magic on herself.
Are you a student of the academy right?
"Who knows" he answers lazily. The stranger raises his arms while raising his shoulders, do you really think you can face me?
"But first I have another question," he pointed out.
Which one?
"You may have physically replicated my friends perfectly, but you forgot details about them. His behavior was extremely erratic "I use my gladius and go through the illusions of my friends, suddenly everything collapses, the stage changes to an old empty stadium.
"Very insightful sorceress" congratulates the enemy and takes a fighting pose.
I prepare to fight against the stranger, but something bothers me and that is to fight with the gardener uniform, I hate that, but I have no choice and thank heaven I always wear shorts under my skirt, who would be so stupid to fight with a skirt and that the panties are seen?
Who will be the first to attack? Will it be him or me?
"We will fight like the ancients" exclaims the subject and suddenly the empty stadium is filled with people screaming and crying out for blood.
I congratulate the stranger for creating such a thing.
Are you not afraid? He asks me when he sees my reaction.
"Only a fool would say that he is not afraid, but my parents taught me that this is no reason to give up"
I throw myself at the masked man, but he dodges my attack with ease and tries to return it, but I block him with my short sword and try to kick him, the masked man leaps back and throws one of his daggers against my chest.
I pull out another of my gladius and deflect it, creating lightsabers and throwing them at him.
"Fantastic sorceress" applauds the subject as he jumps until he reaches the main box, where a throne awaits him, in which he sits while two women serve him wine, due to the distance it is impossible for me to see his face.
"I will not be your first enemy sorceress" he comments while eating, then gets up and shouts at the top of his lungs "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WITH YOU MACKENSIE ONE OF THE TWO IMPERIAL WIZARDS" the people created by the illusion shout and clap with emotion, the subject follows his speech "OUR FAVORITE WIZARD WILL FACE THE TERRORS OF THE PAST"
Several metal doors open throughout the colosseum, growls and howls of great creatures are heard. The ground begins to shake as the monsters jostle to get out.
In total there were 6, 2 were chimeras, another was a salamander, a giant fire-breathing lizard, and the other 3 were griffons, those strange birds with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle.
To their bad luck, before they can make any movement, the 3 taps are pierced by my light swords, one of those monsters explodes, the other is stuck to a wall of the coliseum and the last one is thrown at the entrance of the door, my swords had split open his skull and his brains were popping out.
Eliminating those who can fly is the highest priority.
The other beasts are undeterred and decide to attack me.
I change one of my gladius for a pilum and throw it with all my might against the chimera, I don't want a repeat of what happened last time.
The pilum goes at such speed that it hits the lion's head straight, causing its ram and snake head to shriek in pain.
(The sorceress is very skilled) the stranger says to himself as he watches as Maki destroys his monsters created by illusion, they are certainly not as strong as the real ones, but the young sorceress kills them before they approach her.
The salamander does not move from its place, as it prepares to shoot a blast of fire, its tail begins to glow and that glow spreads throughout its body until it reaches its mouth where all the heat accumulates and shoots a great ball of fire.
As the chimera screams in pain I make my weapons disappear and make a cross with my arms, then I open my palms and prepare to fire my burst of light. Small particles are formed until they shoot at high speed from my palms.
Bursts of light slice the chimera in half like butter, wreaking destruction throughout the coliseum.
The fireball is also destroyed and the salamander is smashed to pieces.
He's laughing! "Are you enjoying it? Exclaims the subject. "A normal human shouldn't have that kind of reaction, that girl is more than just a sorceress"
Maki had been carried away by her emotions, characteristic of her witch heritage, the smile she showed when killing the monsters and destroying the coliseum along with the illusions of the spectators who shouted and tried to flee from the bursts of light that came out of the palms of the young witch and sorceress, who had intentionally pointed them at them.
Onlookers were either disintegrated or cut in half, literally Maki was doing a massacre while enjoying it.
My hands are shaking, but I can't stop myself. It is impossible for me to stop. I feel pleasure to see all those bastards created by an illusion cry, scream, moan and suffer just like a real human does, killing monsters is not compared to this, aiming for the stands was the best. But I must stop, I must stop smiling as I do so. I have let out the worst of my witch heritage, if I continue like this I will be like her. With each passing year I feel like I look more and more like her. But the pleasure, the joy to see the destruction is immeasurable, to see how the bodies explode, the blood that stains the stands, the organs and parts that fly when hit by my spell, I use the light to kill. If my sisters were with me they would enjoy it too, but Dad wouldn't… maybe he would say I'm wrong?
Just that little instant makes me stop, the pupils of my eyes return to their normal size and his evil smile disappears.
I have not shown my true being to Dad (the current clearing) we have been living for almost a year the four of us and he has not shown a trace of being a sorcerer, he is just an ordinary father who gives everything of himself for three girls, he simply tells us We dedicate ourselves to living as an ordinary family, although he is aware of what we can do, he treats us like normal girls, even without his sorcery he worries about us, what we eat, our grades in the study, if we sleep well. Every morning she wakes us up with her beautiful smile, I can't help but see her golden eyes and wonder why her gaze is so sad? I have never seen hatred in his eyes, many times they show joy and other times they are sad, was I wrong not to let the demihuman approach him? She seems like a good woman.
I close the palms of my hands, the bursts of light are cut short and dispersed into small particles, although my hands are closed the spell seems to be unable to be contained as they come out through my fingers.
Dad told us, he only loved mom, "no woman could reach my heart like my beloved wife, there has not been or will be a woman who I love more than Alexandra, the angel gave me another chance and I will do everything. what I can to fulfill your request "
Why does dad call mom an angel? Why do you also refer to your wife as Alexandra? I shouldn't be thinking about all this while in the middle of a fight. Maybe it's time to ask Dad about his past.
It is impressive sorceress! The subject applauds, his box was still intact "now I see why they love you"
Some lightsabers hit his box, killing his companions and destroying him.
The box falls to pieces and the only survivor falls to the sand.
Are you from the cult? I ask irritated.
He just raises his arms and answers "who knows" the subject snaps his fingers and rebuilds the coliseum, everything that was recently destroyed is restored, people and others return as if nothing had happened "I don't want to fight in the middle of rubble"
The owl-masked guy draws his magic daggers.
I make my two gladius reappear. I used a lot of ether recently and I have to be careful.
My enemy throws his daggers, but deflected them with my weapons, what he did was only a distraction to move at high speed and almost land a direct hit on my chest with other daggers, if not because I jump back, it is possible that not still alive.
I create lightsabers and throw them at the masked man, who turns to dodge them. That doesn't stop the masked man, who starts creating magic daggers which he throws while dodging my lightsabers.
I exchange one of my short swords for my escutum, with which I block magic attacks as I advance.
(She is not supposed to be good at close combat) thinks the subject while dodging and attacking. Based on what she had been informed and what she saw, the sorceress Maki only knew how to fight from a distance, but now she attacks from a distance, hand-to-hand combat, and can use different weapons to block magic while moving forward. (It's like fighting someone experienced)
My enemy may not understand it, but mom was in charge of training us, in my short 15 years of life, mom spent 10 years training me in combat, she always said that I should learn to defend myself just like her sister did with her, "maybe my Sister Velvet may not be the best example to follow, but she is good at something and that is fighting "
I must not trust myself, the amount of mana I can collect is limited and the amount I used recently was too much, if the combat lasts I may not be victorious.
The enemy changes strategy, jumps and tries to fall on top of me, but I use my shield to block it, that little moment the enemy uses my shield as a springboard to jump and get behind me, which he takes advantage of to throw his daggers, but they bounce with my scaled lorica narrowly saving me.
How many tricks does this girl have? The annoying subject asks himself. Attack after attack Maki uses parts of his armor to defend himself against his rival, first his strange short swords, then a shield and now an armor with an ancient design, to his surprise all those things are real, not like his magic weapons.
The enemy who seems impressed is distracted long enough for one of my lightsabers to appear behind him and pierce his chest.
"I could kill a chimera with my light swords, I doubt that a human or whatever you are can support it"
But what had passed through was not the stranger, in a small fraction of a second it was exchanged with a substitute and not a normal one, but an explosive one.
"Hell" I use my shield to block some of the damage.
The explosion is such that it leaves a hole where the substitute was.
The illusions cheer for how impressive it was, they scream and jump from the stands, some support the unknown subject, while others support me.
"Awesome sorceress, don't expect you to be so harsh"
I get up a bit dizzy, my right arm is numb due to the impact, it also manages to slightly injure my right leg, also part of the planter's skirt was burned, and the worst the shield is made shit, if this were in the world I really doubt that my shield could be destroyed.
The subject throws his magic knives at me, but I turn and dodge them with difficulty, my right arm is still numb from the impact, one of the magic daggers accidentally hits my shoulder causing me to bleed.
You are finished! He screams, as he lunges at me.
"You shouldn't be distracted," I exclaim.
The subject does not seem to understand it until it is very late, I shoot a burst of light at his clothes, which sends him flying.
The crowd cheers with joy as the illusionist hits the wall of the arena, creating a large cloud of dust.
Damn sorceress! The subject says furious as he leaves the cloud of dust and tries to get up. His hands are covered in blood, his clothes are in tatters, but his mask is intact.
I remove the magic dagger from my shoulder and a stream of blood comes out, I use a little of my healing sorcery to close the wound "Come on get up, this is not over yet" I say defiantly.
The wound caused by the magic dagger was deep, I practically lost the mobility of my right arm, but I must not show it, is that all you can do magician?
The angry subject stands up with effort.
The damage that is caused in an illusion is real, the body of who is inside it will receive all the wounds and more. When I get out of this damn illusion I have to visit the infirmary or maybe the professor has already noticed the blood coming out of my shoulder.
The subject creates a sphere of magic in the palm of his left hand and throws it with all his might against me, I use one of my light swords to destroy his magic.
The stranger doesn't seem to have very strong attack magics, apparently he believed that he could kill me just using the illusion.
If I were a good attack mage I would be forced to wear all my armor.
I take advantage of the explosion formed by the shock of my light sword spell against the magic sphere to approach my enemy and try to stab him in the chest, his movements are slower, but by a few millimeters he dodges my attack and I only tear a part of his clothes, he tries to fight back with one of his daggers.
The two of us clash our weapons, but mine destroys his magic weapon which leaves him open for an attack, which I take advantage of by kicking him in the chest and separating a little, I prepare to fire another burst of light, along with some swords of light.
But this time it does not fall and instead uses a substitute which receives the full beam of light, it explodes with greater force, blowing half of the sand into pieces.
I use my teleportation spell to escape the damage.
Suddenly the whole stadium begins to collapse, the spectators begin to disappear little by little, until everything is blank.
Then a large white room is formed where only my enemy and I remain.
The subject does not seem to have escaped without receiving damage, some of my swords reached to pierce him in his legs, in the right shoulder and his left rib, he can barely stand.
YOU WILL PAY IT BITCH! Scream with all his might, while spitting blood.
YOUR SISTERS AND THAT SUBJECT WHO IS IN YOUR MUGROSY HOUSE ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT!
The blood rises to my head when I hear it. IF YOU TOUCH MY SISTERS OR HE WILL KILL YOU! By letting myself be carried away by hatred, I use a spell of darkness.
DARK PULSE! My eyes are bloodshot and a terrible black pulse shoots out of my body.
WORSHIP IS ETERNAL AND WE WILL USE YOUR BLOOD TO REVIVE OUR MASTER! WE WILL KILL EVERYONE YOU LOVE! IF WE CANNOT TAKE YOU, WE WILL TAKE THE OTHER WIZARD! The subject lets out a laugh and receives the full impact, disintegrating him.
From one moment to another I begin to float, the illusion disappears.
I take a great breath of air, my shirt is covered in blood and one of my colleagues is applying white magic to close the wound that I have on my shoulder, the amount of blood was such that I lost that a small pool formed under my position . I can't breathe, I can't hear anything Juliana yells at me, I'm lost, my mind is somewhere else, away from everything, I'm looking her directly in the eye, but I don't understand her, what is she saying to me? Why are you yelling at me? Why is she worried? The other students had come out and called the teachers, only a few stayed.
Then my heart beats fast, my lungs stretch, I get a great breath of air, adrenaline runs through my body, I don't feel any pain.
Juliana holds me.
Calm down Maki, you have a deep wound on your shoulder, let Alexei heal you!
My partner named Alexei is applying magic and using surgical tools on my wound.
What did the damn guy say after threatening my sisters and dad? Who would they go for? I want to kill him, I want to destroy him, I won't let him get near any of them, then I remember what he said. My body freezes with fear.
I use my good hand and hold Juliana's hand tightly. Don't let Isabel speak her name! I tell her upset, my heart races.
What are you talking about? He asks me confused. She was more worried about my injury than I was, when she holds me she feels like I tremble, not because of the injuries but because of fear, fear of her.
"They also attacked her with an illusion, and you know what happens if Isabel suffers damage"
Isabel was there, wide-eyed. He did not move from his post, he did not blink, he barely breathed. It looked like a doll, until it begins to move its lips slowly.
"Mo-Mor-Morg" he recites slowly, blood pouring from his nostrils.
Stop her, Juliana! Shouted him.
"If she finishes saying her name we are all dead"
Juliana begins to shake, her legs cannot support her toned body.
The other classmates pale, some begin to leave the room, others scream in fear.
Many know what it means.
If we compare the destructive power I possess against Isabel's, however pale I am against "that" if she sees Isabel injured, we are all going to die.
Someone snaps their fingers and puts Isabel to sleep, who falls, luckily for us it was the teacher, who had returned with the nurse and teacher Zenobia.
"That won't stop her for long," says the concerned professor, then he looks at us. What does Isabel like? Asks us.
Sweets and be with us! We respond quickly, (was the first thing that came to mind)
"Good" the teacher extends his arm and opens the palm of his hand a small beam shoots out and hits Isabel's head, making her fall on the table at her place.
Teacher Zenobia creates a dark energy field on Isabel, while the nurse helps my partner restore my shoulder.
"Bedevere" whispers Isabel. Even being unconscious he was able to call one of his fairies. Thank goodness it was that fairy and not the other one, although that doesn't mean we're safe.
Out of nowhere a small rose petal is formed, which bursts into a beautiful rainbow of multicolored roses, which come together to form a door from which Bedevere, Isabel's most faithful fairy, comes out.
The beautiful fairy wears a radiant light armor, her features make her look like a maiden, rosy cheeks, white skin and greenish eyes, her golden hair falls on her shoulders, her wings are transparent, but when the light touches them they shine and take all the possible colors of a rainbow, he appears to have a body so frail that it is deceptive, delicate hands, firm hips, and slender legs. Of the 4 fairies that Isabel owns, she is the tallest, almost reaching the size of an adult human. (supposed to be the most beautiful of all)
She only observes her mistress who is fainted and covered by a barrier, with a gentle movement of her hand she destroys her and carries her mistress as if it were something so precious that, if she fell silent, she would break, when seeing them I remember the ancient paintings where a brave prince carries the princess he just saved from a dragon.
"Maki, who did this to my mistress?" Bedevere asks, without letting go of her mistress, she only limits herself to moving Isabel's bangs, looking for a wound, then she takes out a handkerchief and wipes the blood from her mistress's nose.
Bedevere may be a bit more tolerant, but that doesn't take away from her how dangerous she is, our teachers and the nurse notice.
Master Zenobia does not seem very happy to see that a fairy destroyed her magic without problems.
My partner continues to treat my shoulder, Alexei does not stop at his work, he seems not to pay attention to what is happening, he just continues with his work.
Bedevere observes the surroundings.
"Isabel and I were attacked by an illusion" I get up from my seat before the complaints of the nurse and my partner who did not finish healing my shoulder "please Bedevere do not go to do anything" I try to calm her down. Although it is not the other, Bedevere is just as dangerous if it is not contained.
Do you really think I'm going to stay put? A bluish aura surrounds the fairy, you think I can bear to see my precious mistress in these conditions!
"Calm down Bere" comments a weak voice. It was Isabel who was beginning to wake up "I too was able to get out of the illusion" her condition was also serious, she had multiple cuts on her body.
My mistress! Bedevere squeezes Isabel against his chest.
Don't do that at the academy! His mistress scolds him, blushing because of what his pact has just made, "I can also walk by myself, you don't need to carry me", put me down now!
"Pe-pe-but loves" the dangerous fairy behaves like a girl throwing tantrums in front of her mistress, what could be a risky situation ends.
His fairy agrees and lets Isabel walk by herself.
"It's good that you're fine" he exclaimed.
"Yes well, it was obvious that it was going to leave there intact"
"Please take care of my sisters"
Maki?
Maki!
The last thing I remember is that I fell.
My sisters! Dad! I cry out in anguish, when I look around I see that I am in the infirmary on a bed, on the other side is Isabel.
"Don't make so much noise," he says, trying to cover himself with a pillow.
How are my sisters!
"The young mistresses are fine" a young woman dressed as a maid bows to me and then continues "I have come from mistress Velvet"
After listening to the young woman dressed as a maid, I guessed what would happen next.
My heart raced, the nurse, Isabel and even the maid worried about my condition.
In a week everything would go to shit.
