It's been raining for about three days, I feel like the atmosphere is trying to give me a warning or a message, but with the exams in mind I can't focus. Yesterday a woman came out of the forest, I could not see her face due to the umbrella so I do not know who it could have been, but of something I am sure I know that she does not belong to the institution since she did not wear a student uniform or of any employee.
When she arrived immediately she was heard through the loudspeakers that required Kevin's presence at the address, perhaps it is a relative although I doubt it, no one can enter like that from outside without permission; Unless he is a ruler? It's safe. Where will he be from? Well, it is not his that I am convinced, the ruler of Afriz is already dead and it is known that a replacement has not yet been chosen nor will elections be held at the moment, as is the case in the territories of Antirda and Irop. It only remains then that he must be the ruler of Ocania or Esia, since the one of North Amira is a man.
— * Sigh * she should be more attentive to the news. Everything is going so fast that I can't process much information.
When I leave my room I find a note nailed to the door that says "I hope you are ready, I will go for you"; I'm more than sure this note belongs to Norilex. Without hurry I go down and I meet Esteban when a boy approaches him giving him a note addressed to me, when you open it you can read —I'm watching you.
—What is this?— Esteban looks at me showing me the content of the note.
—Pay no attention to her, the crazy roommate I have is after me like a flying cockroach. I still don't understand how she hasn't attacked me in the room. You should look for a repellent.
—It's safe not to create a big fuss. Don't you think this is very obsessive? He is clearly threatening you.
—I won't keep running from her anymore, if she wants to fight for her to come from her. She got me tired of the same old stuff.
—If you say so, you better be careful.

Esteban is walking towards the video game room after leaving Marinep to change after sports class and on his way he sees Norilex, he stands behind her and touches her right shoulder causing her to jump a little exclaiming in surprise at the fright.
—That? Who you are? No, I already know who you are, the friend of the South Amira leader.
—You're a freshman, because of how you're bothering my friend I thought you'd be in senior years, but you're just a stupid and greedy brat.
—I'm not a brat, I'm 13 years old, besides, don't you know who I am? I assume you don't know from the way you're talking to me— Esteban can't see if he's serious because his emotionless face doesn't match the boisterous tone with which he speaks at all.
— ... Don't tell me that you too ...
—So you realized, I'm a ...
—A Marinep fan," he answers before the girl finishes her sentence.
—Excuse me?
—Sure, I should have seen it before.
—No, you are not understanding.
—Of course I do, although if you're a fan of hers you shouldn't be so toxic.
—I'm not a fan of hers, listen to me!
—Sure, sure, let me tell you something I'm a Marinep fan too so let's be proud of her without hurting her.
—You're an Idiot.
—I'll tell Marinep right away. See ya!
Ignoring her he withdraws from her with a big smile but when he turns around she disappears completely leaving only a serious face and a great repressed anger. Holding back so as not to hurt a silly girl who plays with fire without knowing that she can get burned.

A whole week Norilex was after Marinep's steps, even so he could not approach successfully since Esteban did not get rid of her at any time, except that if he wanted to approach her it should be in the only places that he could not access, such as the ladies' locker room in the court area, women's bedrooms, and women's restroom.
Marinep enjoyed the delicious food in the cafeteria with Esteban but she excused herself with him to go to the nearest bathroom, the one in her bedroom, it is evident that there will be people in it, what she did not notice was the type of people. Norilex was already inside her with five other girls, they were carrying bats from the sports area to fight and one of them, when she saw Marinep enter, hit her on the back, throwing her to the ground with immense pain.
—Norilex! Have you gone completely crazy?
—I told you I'd go after you, that she was watching you.
— ... You've lost your mind.
—Since you don't know how serious your lack of clarity about being alert has been, I'll teach you to learn the true work of a leader, well girls… her.
The girls rush at Marinep, she gets up and starts to dodge her attacks, but one of the girls successfully hits one of her sides this causes Marinep to start coughing and her face distorts in pain . Seeing that the girls are directed against her again as she can activate her power, her force field; With the power of repulsion of this the attackers go flying crashing against the walls and doors of the bathroom creating a great scandal. A passing teacher knocks on the door without entering and saying that they shouldn't make a fuss.
—Don't worry, teacher, it's just that my makeup has fallen off and I made a scene as a result. Norilex excuses herself so that the teacher doesn't come in. —That was close, ladies let's get this over with.
—But we can't attack with that active power of yours— one of the girls claims.
—Well, well, well, I'll take care of that— Norilex with a displeased expression on her face takes out her scythe, her appearance is that of a large fairy wand with a small blade connected to the handle by a flower just like the end of this but its base ends in an ornament in the form of a leaf, at the same time the ground begins to sprout small vines.— You should have kept your identity a secret if you knew that you were very weak, playing strong does not benefit you at all, now it will be your end and your power will be mine.
Where Marinep was on the ground, the vines begin to hold her, she tries to get up but the pain in her side becomes stabbing causing her to be unable to sit up.

Esteban is still waiting for Marinep to come back, while he waits he sees Kevin dressed in a green uniform with a lab coat coming out of the forest and heading towards him.
—Hey you!— Esteban raises his voice so that Kevin notices her presence.
—Oh, friend of the princess!… Eh, what was your name?… Oh yes, my memory is bad, Esteban, what brings you here?
—There are things you and I should talk about— As Esteban spoke, Kevin's cell phone would not stop ringing.
—I must answer, maybe it's urgent, wait a moment— Esteban reluctantly gives him the signal to do so. —Hello? ... what do you say? Which bathroom? ... * hangs up * our conversation will be for later, one of my followers has notified me that Marinep is in danger.
The two of them ran without saying anything. Esteban begins to climb the stairs like a madman to the ladies' dormitory building, starting to push aside the girls who were on the road, they shouted because of the male presence and whispered among themselves that they should look for someone to get him out; This one does not care, only he wants to get to the bathrooms located on the third floor.
The dormitories consist of a common area on the ground floor in the front part because in the back part is the area where students can wash their clothes, on the first floor the cafeteria, the second floor is more like a passage, because the place is as a bridge between the bedrooms and used as a study area. The bedrooms also have external entrances that are accessible to enter, both the second floor and the bathrooms located from the third floor and the exterior entrances are heavily guarded so that no one outside the premises enters and unwanted events occur.
Esteban had to jump through the strong security but something was strange, there was no one, so his entrance went smoothly but it generated a strong concern inside him, completely forgetting that he had been with Kevin and that now he was not with him, like this that without caring about the whispers, complaints and others, he begins to shout to attract the attention of the guards and teachers who are hanging around the cafeteria.
Kevin, unlike Esteban, was running outside the enclosure when he heard the noise in the bathroom, when he glimpsed the window that gives access to it, he creates a sand staircase to reach it and finds Marinep on the ground with the vines on it. Norilex without noticing her lifts her up with her vines causing Marinep's pain to run through her entire body causing her to lose focus and withdraw her shield, when approaching her she can hear Esteban's screams coming from her.
—They seem to be coming for her, her leader must finish her off now— one of the girls notifies.
When trying to nail a sharp vine to kill Marinep, a wall of sand gets in the way, stopping her attack.
—Don't even think about hurting my princess— Kevin says, standing at the window.
—Don't meddle, I'm just following my ruler's orders!
—I still won't let you do it, Esteban! Here! Here it is!— Esteban breaks down the door and it can be seen that he is surrounded by teachers, guards and nosy students thirsty for gossip. —Take Marinep and get her to the infirmary as soon as possible.
—Don't tell me the obvious idiot— Esteban takes Marinep, climbs her onto her back and runs off with her followed by some guards and teachers. While those who remained come closer and take control of the matter.
—Ladies, all of you go immediately to the principal's office, what you did cannot go without a punishment— a teacher says.
The girls begin to come out of the bathroom handing the bats to the guards, before Norilex left her Kevin grabs her by one of her arms, squeezing it with such force that she complains about her calling the attention of a teacher.
—Young man, you must accompany us too, your intention was good and you saved the girl, but breaking into the ladies' room deserves a wake-up call.
—Of course I'll go teacher— he says with a smile on her face, then wipes it from her mouth to get closer to Norilex. —I know there are teachers who know you because they are from your territory but that is not why you have to save yourself, I hope this does not happen again Norilex leader of Esia, with your face that you do not do anything you are not going to deceive me and do not try to claim that because you are a minor you should be excluded, you will be the savior of your people, a girl in high school but for me you are an enemy leader. If you touch a single hair of my princess again, if you even look at her the wrong way or put her under threat again and I realize it, keep in mind that you will be the one who is going to regret it very much— she lets go of her and leaves. from the bathroom, when she sees his arm, she notices the fingerprints on his skin.
—We will see that, leader of Afriz.
