Ceres wounded Agatha on the cheek, and Agatha angrily sped to Raven who's just healing from the slap
She punched his chest this time, and Raven passed out as a result.
"Agatha!!!" Ceres yelled and was about to attack her when Krishna stepped in.
A single slap from him made Agatha bleed from the ear and mouth as she staggered back.
"Toying with my friend is not allowed anytime you're having your silly fights" he said.
"You!" Agatha gritted with her bloody teeth and made to rush to him, but wind from nowhere swept her off her feet immediately she got close, and the wind threw her into the lawn.
Krishna carried unconscious Raven out of the corridor to his room.
All the disciples present began laughing at Agatha who's just standing up, and she wiped her bloody mouth.
"Your ears are bleeding too!" Ceres mocked, and when she touched her ear and felt blood truly, she rushed out of the lawn, and the laughter got louder from the disciples.
"That was entertaining. When is their next fight coming up?" Samara asked.
"You love troubles too much" Echo laughed.
"Don't mind her" Peony laughed too.
"Let's go bath, it's almost evening. The test" Ruthie pulled Samara into her room.
EVENING
All the disciples were already waiting for the superiors for about five minutes before Aragon showed up, and without waiting, he led the way out of the Institute, and his students followed.
"I'll see you when I'm back!" Ruthie waved at Samara.
"Bye boo-boo!" Samara blew her kisses, and Peony waved too till they were all out of sight.
Samara continued waiting for Orion for what looked like forever, till Master Duran arrived.
"Master, my Superior is...
"You're to go alone" Master Duran replied, and her eyes widened.
"What! Alone?"
Without another word, Master Duran sent her out, and she vanished, only to land in the woods.
"It's real! I'm here alone! I'm alone!!!!" She shouted, placing her hands on her head as she looked around.
The leaves are dry, and at each slight move, they rustle noisily, scaring her.
"What do I do? Left or right? Mum where should I go? I think your daughter is about to die" she said, pulling up the flowing floral gown she's wearing.
"I don't even have any weapon, what if I get attacked by a beast? Huh?" she asked herself, but her eyes suddenly brightened when she saw a peach tree ahead.
"What! Peach!" She ran to the tree, and luckily, there are lots of it on top of the tree.
It was so easy for her to climb since it's not her first time.
Back then in school, she once climbed the principal's house fence with Ruthie just to go break his bedroom window cos he punished them for saying dirty words in class.
She climbed the tree and plucked a peach, taking a deep bite.
"Delicious! I guess I'd just sit here and eat as much as I want till Master will return me" she smiled and was about to take another bite when the tree suddenly moved.
She thought it was her imagination at first,but it moved again, and the peach fell from her.
By the time she looked at the ground, it was already so fucking far, and her eyes widened.
"What's this? I'm not in jumanji, right? What's happening!!! Master Duran!!!!! Orion!!!!!" She screamed fearfully as she began sweating.
Slowly, the tree transformed into a cliff, and she began shaking as she struggled to leave the edge, but immediately she took a step, the spot cracked, and she began falling.
"Fine." she said and closed her eyes, but halfway through her fall, she opened her eyes and mouth at the same time.
"I don't want to die!!!!! Somebody help!!!!!!" She screamed as she continued falling down the high cliff.
As if the heavens decided to pity her, a strong arm suddenly grabbed her by the waist, and she gasped loudly, grabbing the person tightly by the shoulders.
Her white hair got blown beautifully by the air as she started looking up to see his face.
Aragon!
"Superior" she called in a soft, gentle voice, focusing only on his handsome face as he held her firmly, and a gentle wind carried them till they landed gently at the base of the cliff which looks like another world with numerous rocks around.
He let go of her, but she kept staring at his face, and he cleared his throat to bring her back.
"Superior Aragon" she smiled.
"Are you really a witch? What witch doesn't even know how to save herself from a cliff? You can't control the wind?" He said, more like a scold, and she bit her lip slightly.
"You see...my powers aren't that active yet outside the bathroom" she said.
"Then you should try all you can to make it work. Screaming out like that was senseless" he said, and this time, he didn't hide the fact that he's scolding her.
"I'm sorry, Superior Aragon" she muttered remorsefully, and he sighed, turning his back on her.
He started leaving, and her eyes widened. She ran to hold his arm.
"Where are you going?"
"You're not my student, I only came cos I heard your scream from the other side of the forest. From now on, you're on your own, and I think your test is happening here" he said.
"B...but..I...
"Excuses are useless. It's your duty. Good luck" he said, and before she could blink, he vanished, and she turned back immediately, gasping out when she saw the scary environment.
The shape of the rocks even looks scary, and the the sand are obviously bigger than normal ones.
"What do I do?" She asked herself, but when she remembered Aragon's words, she took a deep breath and began walking into the middle of the scary looking rocks, taking each step cautiously
She suddenly heard a weird sound behind, like the sound of something cracking, and her eyes widened.
She turned back at once, only to see the rock behind her cracking. It's a really giant one
She quickly shifted back, and her heart jumped into her throat as she watched the cracking process.
It's like when a mother hen hatching her egg, but the only difference is the end product.
Eggs bring forth chicks, but immediately the rock finished cracking into two halves, a mighty snake-like dragon crawled out, spitting out fire.
Samara fell on her butt, shaking so obviously. She nearly started peeing on herself, but she held it back, swallowing emptiness as the dragon roared like a lion before spitting fire again.
The fire landed on the rock behind Samara, and the rock shattered, some of the pieces hitting her badly.
Dark smokes filled the place as a result of the rock blast, and she quickly stood from her spot.
She began running as fast as her legs could carry her, away from the spot , but she barely ran for two minutes when the dragon roared behind her, and by the time he turned back to look, the dragon's mouth was already wide open for her.
"No!!!!!!" She screamed, but it was useless because the dragon swallowed her whole.
ANOTHER PART OF THE WOODS
After leading his students to the entrance of the test as instructed, Aragon left them, so they entered the woods by themselves and split, but according to the rule, friends mustn't pair so it's like this...
Echo left with Peony.
Merlin left with Agatha
Krishna left with Ruthie.
Raven left with Ceres.
"What do you think our challenge is gonna be?" Echo asked as she walked her path with Peony.
"I'd be glad if it was puzzle. I'm quite good" Peony replied.
"OMG! Me too!" Echo replied.
"They should have let us eat dinner before coming, I'm dying" Peony replied.
"Coming with empty stomachs ain't bad, it'd only make us stron...
Echo was still talking when the tree behind them suddenly broke, and it began falling .
"Echo lookout!" Peony shouted, and they both jumped at once, but it wasn't fast enough cos the tree almost crushed them, but they blocked it from themselves, pushing it up with all their strength.
"It's so heavy!" Echo shouted, farting in the process of pushing.
"You know your fart always smells Echo not now! Fuck it!" Peony shouted as the smell penetrated into her nose.
"I'm sorry it's not something I can control" Echo replied, farting again.
"Echo!!!" Peony yelled, and the tree even became heavier, weighing more as they pushed.
"We can't continue pushing like this" Echo replied, sweating so much. Blood began coming out of her nose.
"Do you know the lifting spell?" Peony asked.
