- I train for revenge. he says in a glacial tone. To find and kill the bastard that killed my mother! And I need to be strong. Strong so I can kill him, so strong so that no matter what his rank in society is nobody would stop me. Revenge is why I seek strength.
- I see...
They arrive at the library. When they enter Noah heads to the second floor and Juliana tries to follow him but is pushed back by the mental barrier.
- Are you ok?
- Yeah. I guess I am gonna read on this floor. she says while walking down the stairs.
Noah starts reading the books
[An hour later]
Noah read half of what was left to read on the second floor and he still hasn't found what he is searching for. He looks at a window
{Noah}
" It's late."
- Time to go, huh?
Noah leaves the second floor and enters the first one. He sees Juliana sleeping on a chair. He wakes her up and they leave. After dropping her off, he heads to the forest.
- Here we are. There is no strange noise though
A bush starts to rustle and something jumps out of it.
- A rabbit? says, Noah
The thing that jumped out of the bush was a rabbit. Noah approaches the rabbit and starts petting it, however, while he is doing that he noticed that a huge amount of shadows had started covering his. Noah turns around and sees a pack of Dire Wolfs. One of them jumps at Noah but Noah manages to dodge side way, however, because Noah dodged the wolf that had tried to attack him, the wolf kills the rabbit and starts eating it while the others start approaching Noah.
- What the hell are Dire Wolfs doing in the Academy? And it's a whole pack of them too.
Noah takes out his sword from its sheath and starts attacking the wolves. A wolf jumps at him, he slashes him in two. He jumps in the air and uses a spell
- Lightning Magic! Lightning Bolt!
*BOOOOMM*
Noah lands and as soon as he does a Dire wolf bite his legs. Two others jump out of the dust that was lifted because of Noah's spell. Noah punches the one biting his leg and he backs off.
{Noah}
" Damn it! That didn't kill all of them?"
- Body of speed! Electricity!
Noah activates Body of speed; Electricity and starts running. he reaches the forest entry but something blocks it
{Noah}
" This is! This is a Field Of Mana!"
Field Of Mana is a special ability that magicians acquire when they forge their fifth mana heart. Normally, a magician can only cast spells from their body but if they are able to use Field Of Mana they gain the ability to project all of the mana stored in their mana hearts outside their body creating a field of mana and since it is their own mana that is spread they can use spells from anywhere within the Field Of Mana. The problem in this current situation is that when a Field Of Mana is deployed it becomes a sort of prison for those that are inside and there are only two ways to break and escape it. The first is to unleash a higher amount of mana, in other words, you need to have more mana than the one that deployed the Field Of Mana. The second is to knock out the one that deployed the Field Of Mana.
{Noah}
" You are ready to take it this far, Andre! Does he not realize that deploying this, leaves your mana in the air so it is easy to find who deployed the Field Of Mana? But I am sure that Andre was a four-mana heart magician so how did he manage to do something only magicians with five mana hearts can do?"
A wolf jumps out of nowhere. Noah blocks with his hand, however, he had to pay the price for doing that, and the wolf bit his hand.
- Lightning Bolt!
Noah shoots the lightning bolt at the wolf and starts moving again.
[Somewhere in the forest]
- Can you see clearly brother? The internet connection is not that good in the forest.
- I can and what I am seeing is a child that used quick casting twice. says a voice
- Apparently, he also used remote casting without a Field Of Mana on the teachers yesterday.
- Is that true?
- Yes. I will send you the footage of it, later brother.
- Good. How many Dire Wolfs are left?
- Twelve of them.
- He already killed 8 of them?
- Yes and out of the twelve 5 are wounded from the spell he used at the beginning.
- HAHAHAHAHAHA, IMPRESSIVE! TRULY IMPRESSIVE!
[Back with Noah that is still runing]
{Bright}
- Use the sword, Noah!
- I can't. If I use the sword now Andre will be interested in it and will do anything he can do to take it from me.
{Bright}
- Damn it! You are right.... How many Wolfs are there left?
- There are 12 left. And I am not in a good condition. I can't run at my best because of my leg and I am low on Aura.
{Bright}
- What are you gonna do now?
- I... I don't know...
{Dull}
- There is still a way, Noah
- What is it?
{Dull}
- Use your Curse.
- What!? I don't even know what is the power of my Curse and I don't know how to control it! What if I transform into my demon form?
{Bright}
- You don't need to worry about that! You don't have enough Aura left to transform and even if you had all your Aura you still wouldn't be able to transform.
- For real?
{Dull}
- Not true, Bright. When the Curse cannot be controlled it will consume the demon's life force in exchange for energy.
{Bright}
- Really? I guess I forgot about that.
- WHAT THE HELL!? THEN I REALLY CAN'T DO THAT!
{Dull}
- It's a gamble and it is also your last chance. Take it and you might survive don't and you will die.
- DAMN IT! How do I use it?
{Dull}
- Direct some Aura toward your Curse Sigil until it lights up and when it does you will know what to do but be careful activating your Curse will flood you with all of the negative emotions in the vicinity.
- And my Demonic Instinct will start acting up. Noah sighs
- Just great. he says after sighing
Noah sends some Aura to his Curse Sigil and it starts slowly lighting up. When it completely lit up, Information flows inside of Noah's mind.
- So this is how you use it. Noah smiles. I guess it really was worth taking the risk.
Just as he finishes his phrase, a huge wave of negative emotions flows into him.
{Demonic Instinct}
" KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"
- Damn it! This is the first time the voice is that loud, clear, and powerful! says Noah
Noah runs back to where the Dire Wolfs are
*GRRRR*
- Time to end this, you bastards. says Noah with difficulty
Noah runs toward the wolfs and gets bit by all of them, however, Noah's Curse Sigil appears on all of the Dire Wolfs.
[The next day in the Blue dorm class]
The door opens in the middle of class hours, and two people walk in.
- Who is that? asks Andre
The two runs toward Juliana
- WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE!?
-SIS! *huff* *huff* *huff* It's master!
- Where is he by the way?
- That's the problem! Nobody knows! We can't find him anywhere
- What?
The whole class starts whispering
- What about his watch? We can locate him with that, right? asks Juliana
- Boss, left his watch in his room! answers Abel
- What about his brothers? asks Juliana
- They thought he was with us and that he was sleeping in one of our rooms, so they are currently searching for him
{Andre}
" You won't find him since he is dead. All I need to do now is to find a way to retrieve the body."
- Let's just go look for him. she says
The three of them rush out of class and start searching the whole school.
[30 minutes later]
The trio regroups with the two brothers.
- Did you find him? asks Yoan
- No, we couldn't find Boss. answers Abel while looking down in regret
- What about clues? Do you got any clues? asks Yoan
A fire starts in Jynn's hand
- It's simple, Yoan. Let's burn the school to the ground and then we will find him
- WHAT!? yells Juliana
- Calm down, Jynn.
Juliana sigh
- We could hurt him too
{Juliana}
" SO YOU ALSO WANT TO DO IT!"
- HOLD ON! Let's calm down! says Juliana
- Oh. I am very calm and rational. says Jynn with his fire burning stronger than earlier
- Put that out. says Yoan. I will use my Dark magic to destroy everything.
- Ok you two really need to calm down. says Juliana
Jynn looks at Gancelot.
- What are you thinking about?
- Huh? It's just that...
- What is it? asks Yoan
- Master took a quest yesterday with a reward of 5000 points.
Yoan and Jynn look at each other and nod
- Were was the quest? asks Yoan
- In the forest.
Jynn turns and immediately runs toward the forest.
- Go bring the nurse! says Yoan
And he turns and starts running too
[In front of the forest with Yoan and Jynn]
- Do you feel this, Yoan? asks Jynn
- Residue of mana that was spread in the air... Someone used their Field Of Mana.
Rustling starts in the forest and a silhouette, and a hideous silhouette appears and is walking toward the forest entrance.
- Get ready, Jynn!
- I already am!
Steps resonate in the forest to the entrance of the forest and students that were simply passing by on their way to their class stopped to see what was the monster that was coming out of the forest. The closer the hideous silhouette got the less monster it looked. At first, those that were looking at the scene thought that the monster was getting smaller or that he was shedding fur but they came to realize that whatever that thing was it was carrying something or something was stuck on him whatever it was, those things were starting to fall off of him. The nurse and the young trio arrive at the scene and also see the weird silhouette.
- Wha... WHAT IS THAT? asks Juliana
- Everyone! Stay calm. says Lexie
The student calms down and gulps. Because the silhouette was finally gonna reveal itself. But as soon as the silhouette is revealed everyone present gasps in horror and shock.
- *huff* *huff* What is going on*huff* *huff*?
The one that walks out of the forest is Noah and along with Noah two Dire Wolfs that were dead but their fangs were still stuck in Noah's body which Noah didn't pull out. The things that were falling off of him were the dead body of the Dire Wolfs.
- *huff* *huff* I will *huff* make this *huff* bastard pay *huff* *huff* for this. whisper Noah before falling unconscious.
