FRIGID

ORIE'S P.O.V

"Good morning astounding students of Exypnos University!" The lady greeted us as the student body greeted back. "The school had finally decided onto what theme the Mid-year prom shall have and that is...Victorian Era!" She announced which made the students excited. I looked at Haily who cheered silently next to Hypo. "There would be no classes starting today until this Friday since we would give the students and everything else to prepare for the said event. The event shall take place in Ventron Hotel and there would be security as well to ensure the safety of all school members, so that's it for now; for further detailed announcement, kindly check the school's official website. Ladies and gentlemen, feel fancy" The lady ended the announcement and I'm quite surprised that it didn't took that long for the announcement.

Just like what we did before; we waited for most of the students to leave first before we stood up from our seats and decided to leave the auditorium since most of the students are already gone. We were walking towards the gate considering that we don't have anything else to do inside the campus. Alcquin, Dwight and Ambrose are still with us when we reached the parking space. "Hey, since we don't have anything else to do today, let's say we hang around at my house?" Ambrose suggested but our attention was directed at Mr. Jax who faked a cough that was standing behind him that made Ambrose turned around to formally greet Mr. Jax. "Good day sir, may I ask permission to let them hang around with us at my residence?" He asked which Jax shook his head. "I'm sorry but they are needed in their house for their preparations for the school's event, perhaps after the event, they might have the luxury to spend some time, would that be alright sir?" Jax asked which Ambrose nodded to, obviously disappointed.

"I understand, well, how about this saturday afternoon? we can have a slumber party since girls enjoy those kind of things right? We'll prepare everything don't worry" Ambrose reassured us. We bid our goodbye from one another and before we knew it we were already at the house and taking turns to get our measurements. Looks like the organization already knew what theme we'll have and sent professionals to take care of our attires.

"Thank you for your service" We thanked them as they are by the doorway, just about to take their leave. The head of their team bowed at us in respect. "Expect that your attires would be delivered by tomorrow after lunch time" She said before she turned her back at me and left. "Mi'lady, I shall pick you all up on Friday at 6 pm since I've already looked up your schedule and the event will start at 8 pm. Heavy traffic is to be expected, if you'll excuse me" Jax excused himself and left as well.

"Finally, I can rest" I heard Marille so I turned around to see her stretching her arms. I looked around to see that everyone is not here already. "Where are they?" I asked. "They're training underground" She said so I suddenly got excited and ran to my room to change into some comfortable clothes and went to the training room and saw that everyone is doing different things.

I went to West who is currently meditating. "Why aren't you practicing with your ability?" I asked as she opens her eyes and looked at me. "Well, I can already pretty much do things with my ability but I need to have a strong mentality in order for it to not lose control" she said as she closed her eyes once again. I stood from my seat and picked a place where no one is near. I examine the room to see Jane and Danny combating one another; a perfect match for me at least, force and gravity. Hypo who is fixing the room with plants to make it refreshing inside I guess? Haily who is being surrounded by water particles. Jameson on the other hand is now targeting dummies with just using daggers.

I inhaled some air before I focus on my surroundings and my palms. I can feel myself floating while a light breeze is surrounding me. Good thing I tied my hair in a bun and the only thing that's going haywire is my bangs that's pretty long but still couldn't be tied. I concentrated and called Haily. She came to me as she returns her water on her mini water jug. "Attack me" I commanded which she smiled in return for. I motioned her hand in a gentle and gradual way as water escapes her jug and are surrounding her now. I focused on making my barrier dense as possible. The room is getting messy and everyone is now watching me and Haily do our thing.

She attacked me using her water manipulation that is like a whip which is doing nothing to my barrier that made me smirk at Haily. Haily condensed her water and are now shards of spiky ice and the motioned her hands towards me and her ice are now being destroyed because of my barrier. As soon as her ice ran out, I canceled the barrier and I landed on my feet, sorta panting since we haven't been practicing like before. I helped Haily stand up since she was having a breather as well, probably exhausted from what we did and her early training.

"Why don't we have some refreshers?" I suggested which she nodded in response and we headed upstairs to go make some fruit milkshakes. "Hand me some berries and you go prepare the blender and the ice cubes as I go get the remaining ingredients after washing those berries" I suggested which she agreed on.

"You seem to mastered your barrier" She commented which I smiled even if I was turning my back against her. "Talk about the person who can turn water into ice quicker now" I replied that made us chuckle.
