Chapter 5 - Small Attack

"Th-it's Oxara," said someone frightened from a distance when he saw the face of the girl who was hit, he quickly ran from the crowd.

"Nesa, come out quickly, mother has prepared food," my father shouted from outside the room.

I immediately closed my diary, my father shouted again calling me. I chuckled, indeed my father is impatient. I saw my mom and dad joking around at the dinner table, they were waving at me. I ran towards them, but my foot tripped on something.

"Father, what is this stick?" I raised the stick that made me fall.

"Ah, it's father's, it's beautiful, isn't it?" dad took the wand from my hand, he pointed to the greenstone on his wand. He was very proud of his wand.

"Why dad, mom?" I chuckled at my mother. Mother just laughed at my words, she just shook her head at the behavior of the father who was like a child with his favorite toy.

"Nesa!"

A voice called out to me. I turned but there was no one.

"Nesa!"

The voice sounded again, I turned to see a black shadow from behind the door, I walked towards him.

"Nessa where are you going?" Mother's voice stopped me. I pointed at the door but the shadow was gone.

"Nesa!"

I woke up, I saw a white ceiling above me. I turned to the side, there was Rex covering his head and holding my hand. I remember I fainted from being hit while Rex was fighting.

"Nesa are you awake?" said Rex with sleepy eyes.

I nodded, I looked at him. Slightly messy green hair with dazzling green eyes, a sturdy jaw added to his look.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I know I'm handsome," said Rex interrupting my thoughts.

"I didn't notice you," I replied. I quickly looked away, my cheeks felt hot. I wanted to raise my hand but his hand was still holding mine.

"Shut up, I want to hold your hand"

My cheeks are getting hotter, I'm sure they're as red as a tomato by now. Rex chuckled at my expression, this is the first time I've seen him laugh, he wasn't as cold as I thought.

"How are you Nesa?"

The door opened, Ivory and Tuscany entered the room. I immediately let go of Rex's grip.

"It's getting better, Ivory," I said.

Tuscany glared at Rex, her head pointing out of the room. Rex's face turned serious, he followed Tuscany out of the room.

Ivory took my wand which was on the table. "So your stone is green Nesa?" Ivory asked.

I furrowed my brows, what does that mean? I feel like I haven't gotten an order at all.

"The fire that melted Irene's iron, came from you didn't it?"

I was silent trying to remember what happened on the pitch. I just remembered I saw my stone glow green but then dim.

"I don't know Ivory, I don't know if it's from my wand or not," I said.

"Recite the spell for the emerald order, you don't remember," Ivory said as he handed me a wand.

"silabasila"

Green light came out of my wand but it didn't last long, my wand became colorless again. One minute, two minutes, still nothing happened.

"Maybe it was Rex's attack, he was fighting right?" I say.

"Get some rest," said Ivory.

His white eyes looked so empty that it was unpredictable, he walked out of my room. I look at my stick, is it true that my stone is green?

Rex POV on

"You know her, don't you?" said Tuscany looking at me intently.

I didn't answer the question.

"You can't lie to Rex's mother, how do you know her?"

Mom raised her voice, I know my mom doesn't like it when people don't answer her questions.

"Don't let me read your mind," Mom glared at me, her hand on my shoulder.

"Okay," I sighed. At least I can lie to mom because she's from the topaz order, and I hate that.

"Human world,"

My mother's face instantly hardened, her eyes glaring at me.

"You went to the human world again? I warned you not to go there, Rex!" my mother snapped.

"Why do you keep banning me? The human world is completely harmless," I said annoyed.

As long as I have been to the human world, I have never felt danger, many things are unique from the human world, much different from what my mother said all this time.

"What are you doing there, how did you meet her?"

"I saw her sitting on the swing then I sat there after seeing her sleeping in the treehouse," I explained.

"What did you do to her?" mother glared at me.

"I do not do anything,"

"I'm serious Mom," I said annoyed seeing my mother's expression which seemed to be in disbelief. That's what happened, I'm not making this up.

My mother sighed, her gaze turning gentle. "Don't ever go to the human world again, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

She left and left me. "Why did Nesa come to our world?" I ask.

My mother stopped in her tracks. "I don't know, I don't know either"

I looked at my mother who slowly disappeared from view, for some reason it felt like something was wrong. I sighed. For some reason, I feel that Nesa's arrival here has something to do with me.

Rex POV off

"Do you guys know?" a man with white hair came pounding the table.

"What's wrong Pet this time?" Said the girl in front of him annoyed.

The man named Pet earlier took a deep breath. "The rainbow-robed girl is said to be in the emerald order,"

"The girl in the rainbow robe?" the man next to him furrowed his brows in confusion.

"You know the girl who was tied up yesterday," said Petra.

The man nodded his head. "Tell me more clearly Petra,"

His friends immediately stood up. They really like gossip like this.

"When Irene was attacked earlier, someone saw her wand emit a green light and melt the iron that attacked her,"

"And you know what's even more surprising?" Petra looked at her friends one by one.

"Reportedly, Rex likes her"

The girl in front of him immediately slammed the table, her black eyes sparkling. An ominous aura immediately came out.

"Control your power Vasya," said the man beside her.

Vasya sighed, the unpleasant aura slowly dissipating. "That's impossible, Rex is just for me,"

"Haha, it's just your imagination," Petra pouted.

Vasya's eyes bulged, an ominous aura emanating from her again. "How can she get orders, which I hear she is despised by nature," she said nonchalantly.

"But I also saw the stone give off a green light," said the man beside her.

"But it could be the light from Rex's wand, isn't he from the emerald order?" another word.

"Right, it must be from Rex's wand. Girls whose origins are unclear will never get the order, "Vasya said coldly.

"Aren't you the one hated by nature? That's why you have the onyx order."

Vasya turned to the source of the sound, Irene was seen leaning against the wall with a mocking look at Vasya.

"Now you want to act like the hero Irene?" said Vasya. "Weren't you the one who attacked her earlier?" she continued sarcastically.

"Yeah I attacked her, but at least I didn't talk behind his back like you do," Irene said casually.

Vasya's eyes bulged at Irene's answer, an unpleasant aura began to fill the room.

"You want to fight here Vasya?" Irene chuckled. "Fine, if that's what you want,"

Irene mumbled something, the iron around her quickly stuck to her. Vasya didn't stay still, flashes of black light shot out of her wand. Irene started having trouble controlling her emotions.

But before they could attack each other, an explosion was heard from inside the building. Smoke began to rise.

"FIRE, RUN FAST!"

People started pouring out of the building, the fire grew hotter and quickly devoured the building.

Irene quickly darted away, she flew over to see the situation. She saw several higher-ups and guards starting to try to put out the fire, but her eyes stopped when she saw someone in a white robe grinning at the fire and going into the crowd.

Irene quickly switched to disappearing mode and followed the man. But she lost that person, many people blocked her view. She growls in annoyance but she decides to help put out the fire and take care of it later.

"You almost got caught stupid,"

The white-robed man froze, cold sweat dripping from his body.

"Sorry sir, I didn't expect anyone to notice," he said shakily.

"Never mind, finish this, I don't want any more mistakes," someone said firmly.

---

"How did this happen," said Vermilion furiously.

"Calm down, I have told Olaf to find out, the important thing is now it's gone," said Lagoon.

"How can I calm down? What if children get caught in a fire? What should we tell Lagoon's parents!?" Vermilion glared at Lagoon's eyes.

Lagoon sighed, he himself was confused as to how a fire broke out inside the academy that had been shielded. Is it the work of the insiders, thought Lagoon.

"What's wrong Irene?" said Lagoon seeing Irene coming towards them.

"I saw a suspicious person when the fire broke out," said Irene.

"Tell me that Irene," Vermilion said firmly.

"He was wearing a white robe and when I wanted to chase him, he disappeared in the crowd," said Irene.

"That's impossible Irene, the diamond order wouldn't think like that," Lagoon argued.

Vermilion glared at Irene. "Be careful what you say, if the diamond order hears they will be angry,"

"It's up to you to believe it or not, I just wanted to help," Irene said coldly. Irene turned and left.

"Girls have no manners," said Vermilion angrily.

Lagoon sighed, he knew Irene was rude but he never lied. He was sure because he was the one who educated Irene.

"Never mind Vermilion, we'd better talk to the other higher-ups," said Lagoon.

Vermilion turned and left him. Lagoon sighed again, he had to be patient because he had to deal with two temperamental women today

Nesa POV on

I came out of my room because I heard a commotion from outside. I saw some of the buildings had turned to ashes.

"What happened?" I asked a passerby.

"Several buildings caught fire and now we are called to the hall for notification,"

I thank him, I don't know if a fire broke out, did I sleep well, I thought. I walked over to look at the former buildings where almost nothing remained.

Somehow I feel the aura of anger from these burn marks, it makes me uncomfortable. I turned towards the hall but someone bumped into me.

"Are you okay Nesa?"

I looked at the person who bumped into me, I felt the same aura of anger towards him. Selly ran when she saw me fall, she cursed the person who hit me.

"It's okay Sel, I'm fine,"

"Are you sure Ness? You just got hit by Irene's attack during a match and you were hit by an unknown person," Selly said annoyed.

"As you can see Sel," I turned around, indicating that I was fine.

"How about yourself? You were seriously injured against Vendra," I said worriedly.

"It's a normal thing during monthly matches, I've experienced it many times," said Selly casually.

"We'd better hurry to the hall."

Sally grabbed my hand. In the hall already a lot of students gathered, I saw up there the higher-ups gathered, except for Shamrock, I didn't see him.

"Alright, since you've all gathered,"

There was silence as Ivory spoke. "We apologize for this incident, we will rebuild this building and promise that nothing like this will happen,"

"For that, we give you three days off, you can go back to your respective homes. See you in 3 days,"

The atmosphere became chaotic, the students shouted with joy. They immediately rushed out. Selly pulled my hand asking me out.

"You're not off Nesa,"

I turned to the source of the sound, Shamrock leaned against the wall. He walked towards me.

"You will be specially trained," he said.

"Wasn't coach Olaf the one who coached me?" I said confused.

"I heard your wand flashing a green light, follow me."

Shamrock walked in front of me. I furrowed my brows in confusion but I could only follow him, I looked at Selly telling him to leave.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"My private practice room,"

He opened the door, I was flabbergasted when I saw him. Various plants are here, the sea is wide with the sun not too hot, it is very beautiful here. I breathed the cool air.

However the sky suddenly turned black, drops of water started falling from the sky. The seawater turned fierce as if ready to devour anyone who fell into it.

"We're not here to play games," said Shamrock. His wand began to emit a green glow.

I backed away, picking up my wand. I really wish I was from the emerald order.

"silabasila"

Greenlight shot out of my wand. I raised my wand, but nothing happened. The bushes began to attack, the plants began to elongate, I ran but quickly the plants wrapped around me, I immediately slashed them with my stick.

I fell, I picked up the cue. I cast the spell again, a green light came out but didn't last long. I took cover behind a rock. I gasped, my abilities didn't come out at all.

"Never forget who your opponent is," said Shamrock.

The rock in front of me lifted and hit me, I immediately dodged. I dashed forward, stabbing Shamrock with the stick I could. But before I could stab, the ground suddenly stood up to form a wall, I was blown away.

"Isn't this an unfair match," I said breathlessly.

"Put out your power like yesterday Nesa," he said coldly.

I tried to stand up, I repeated the spell but still, nothing happened. Shamrock still attacked me blindly, stones were thrown, I could only dodge but not a few hit my body.

"zanirawela"

I cast another spell hoping for a miracle, black color came out of my wand. I felt anger inside me, but my back was bleeding. A plant with a pointed tip pierced me. I fell down.

My vision is blurry, the pain radiates to my back. I saw Shamrock approaching me, he spoke but my ears couldn't hear at all. The anger inside me is getting stronger, for some reason I hate to see it.

The fire started coming out of his hand slowly, I looked into his eyes intently, I spat on his shoes.

"You think you can kill me?" I said half-consciously, my ears didn't hear what I was saying at all.

Shamrock was getting angrier, his green eyes blazing. He pointed the fire at me, I smiled sarcastically. But as quickly as the flames spread into his own hands, an ominous aura filled the room.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING SHAMROCK!" shouted Ebony. Blacklight radiated from his body.

"You're disturbing Ebony," said Shamrock irritably.

"I just want to practice the skills, you know that the stone is green,"

Shamrock stopped his attack. He stared intently at Ebony.

"Didn't Ivory tell Olaf to train her?" said Ebony. She walked towards Shamrock.

"And also practice your word skills?" Ebony's face turned hard.

"Look! You almost killed her instead of training her Shamrock!"

Ebony's finger pointed at me. The black light on his body grew darker, the aura of anger that I felt grew stronger, making my pain even more intense.

I groaned in pain, Ebony immediately carried me.

"We'll talk about this later," said Ebony coldly.

Ebony left Shamrock alone, with a blur I saw the angry look in his eyes.
