Chereads / James Hook And The Mirror Of Darkness / Chapter 18 - Chapter # 18

Chapter 18 - Chapter # 18

The crowd went wild. James became the first person with all the basic elements being

compatible with him. They all surrounded James and started to ask him all sorts of

questions. Ms. Karen fought through the crowd and grabbed James's hand. "JAMES! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE JUST SHOWN AND ACHIEVED!!!", said Ms. Karen while jumping. James placed his hand behind his head and said, "Mam... I still have more". Ms. Karen and the crowd went silent. Ms. Karen had a serious expression on her face and moved the crowd away from him. James thought that he shouldn't have said that. What if Ms. Karen finds out that he is a void user. "Well, it's no use crying over spilt milk. Let's show them what I'm made of".

Four down, two more to go. James casted, "Lightning magic First Verse, Electoball". James placed both hands together with a gap between them. In the gab a ball made up of electricity appeared and he gestured it in the direction of the target. As soon as it made contact with the target, shocks surrounded it and burnt it into a crisp.

Now for the last one, James looked around and picked up a rock and threw it in the air. It was now falling downwards where the target was. James casted, "Gravity magic First Verse, Heavy Blast". A purple magic circle appeared between the roc and the target. As soon as the rock passed through the circle, its speed multiplied and it shattered the target and created a small crater where the rock landed.

All the targets were destroyed, obliterated, TERMINATED. James now turned towards the crowd.

Everybody was silent. Then a thought came in his mind, "Maybe I have shown too much. Now they all know that I am a void user, they will become afraid of me, would not want to become friends with me, would exile me. But I don't want to lose them. Ryan... Angelina"

But the result was entirely opposite to his thoughts everybody went wild. They all surrounded him and Ryan hit him on his back and gave him a thumbs up.

Angelina was amazed that how the heck was James still standing after using that much mana. Good thing there is no way to measure another person's mana. Ms. Karen was standing still, away from the crowd, with her head facing the ground.

Then when she lifted her head there was only confusion on her face. "H-How is t-this possible... J-James...", she said while fainting on the spot.

All the students surrounded her and after a moment, Angelina came from the academy with Mr. Stern and 2 nurses holding a stretcher. "What have you done to her kids?", Mr. Stern said while smoking a cigar. The nurses picked up her, placed her on a stretcher and took her to the mansion. Mr. Stern said, "Had that fool finally proposed to her? Because her condition is probably

because of a mental breakdown". Then all the students bombarded him with answers. He yelled, "QUIET!!!". His voice was still the same, cold and demanding. All the students were silent.

Mr. Stern said while pointing at Angelina, "You, with some brains, what happened here?". Angelina then explained what happened.

Mr. Stern said, "Oh! You have just entered the academy and you started the journey with such a show, Mr. Hook. And the other students are also not bad. She must have realized that this is the best chance for

Red Raven to win the house cup", "House cup?", asked Angelina.

Mr. Stern said, "Guess you also don't have a brain, a house cup is awarded to the house at the end of the year to the house with the better results in academics, practical, weaponry, crafting, alchemy, and magic. It's a really big deal and if you win it, your house will get special privileges".

Then Mr. Stern sent all the students to their dorms while after requesting for a while James was allowed to go to the infirmary of the academy.

The infirmary was pretty normal like. But instead of normal medicines and liquids, there were many different types of potions. Some were dull, some were glowing. Ms. Karen was lying on a bed and was covered with a blanket and for some reason, Mr. Gon was sitting next to her. He

was sweating a little and had a worried expression on his face. Mr. Gon on noticing him starting muttering, "J-James, W-What are y-you doing here?". James said, "Just came to check the condition of our teacher, but what are you doing here Mr. Gon?". Mr. Gon started muttering even harder, "W-Well I-I was j-just...".

Then James remembered something; Mr. Gon and James's grandmother conversation, and Mr. Stern's first sentence after seeing her condition. Both involving the word 'propose. James had an evil grin on his face, he said, "Mr. Gon, by any chance, is she your

crush....?"
