68 Chapter 68: Escaped??
Appearing on the other side of the room which was on the basketball court, Jeri looked around her and saw lots of elves laying on the ground. Some were dead, some were injured and others were barely identifiable.
“What the hell happened here?” Jeri wondered. It was obvious that no one noticed her arrival. Oh well, she forgot that she’s still in the shadow.
That was when she spotted Ratten making his way toward a direction with a knife in his hand.
“What’s he planning to do?” she asked as she swiftly traced where Ratten was heading and saw that Kevin was the person he was going after.
“Don’t tell me he’s trying to... No! not on my watch.” Jumping out of the shadows, Jeri ran as swiftly as she could with the hope of stopping whatever Ratten was planning to do with Kevin.
Luckily she was able to stop Ratten on time. She grabbed the knife that was in his hands and kicked him in the stomach. Ratten was sent crashing onto the wall.
Jeri turned to look at Kevin, “Why can’t you do anything, I’m sure you saw him come..” Jeri paused as she saw that the Kevin she once saw was nowhere to be found.
“Where.., where did he go?” She asked.
Jeri did not realize that her presence in the court was a discomfort to Kevin.
.....
She touched her chest to feel the connection between her and Kevin but she realized that the connection was fading slowly. At that moment, her mind suddenly recalled that Kevin would be unable to do anything once she have him charmed.
“Holy Heavens, so that’s why he was unable to do anything.” Jeri finally realized her mistake and immediately canceled the spell she placed on Kevin.
“Shit, I can’t believe I used my stupidity to endanger someone else’s life,” Jeri said, slapping herself. She looked around her and saw that she was being surrounded. The elves that were injured by Kevin had healed themselves with a healing spell and were as strong as before.
But as they prepared to fight the one who put them in the situation, they suddenly saw him disappear and the person they found standing in his place was a dark fairy. Their greatest enemy.
“Oh, Hi guys.” Jeri chuckled nervously.
“What’s a dark fairy doing here?” One of the gangs asked.
“Yeah, I thought they were exiled from our land.”
“Maybe the kid also has transformation Magic and he transformed into this dark fairy.” another said.
“If that’s true, this will be the third magic he’ll be using.”
“But how the hell is he able to learn three Magics? I’d that not be strange?”
“You guys should shut up and listen!” Ratten shouted as he approached the circle. Jeri was standing in the middle of all of them, wondering what to do next. She didn’t know where Kevin is, fighting all these elves will be a waste of time for her. But she can’t leave without fighting at least two of them. That way she won’t look like a coward dark fairy if she escapes.
“This girl is a dark fairy, a real dark fairy. She and the other dark fairies are in the academy presently fighting our students. Now that this one is here, let’s give her as an example to the others.” Ratten said and the elves agreed.
He pointed at Jeri. “I don’t know how you came here but this is your punishment for letting Kevin go away. Boys, get rid of the girl!”
Although he was still wondering where Kevin was, Ratten could only conclude that Kevin ran away.
‘Did that brat run away?’ Ratten said before walking away, leaving the elves to take care of Jeri.
Matt was worried. He couldn’t believe his eyes. How could Kevin escape when they were about to kill him? The more he thought and realise that they are yet to get rid of Kevin despite the men Graham gave him, the more he got angry to kill him.
“I need to kill him, I need to kill him. Only then can I have patience.” Matt said, waking back and forth until he hit his leg on a chair.
“Arghh!” he groaned in pain.
“You need to take it easy Matt.” one of his men said. “You may die before you could even kill that kid.”
“I’m taking it easy, I’m not taking this fucking shit easy.” Matt slammed his fist on one of the chairs in the court. “Do you know what we might face if we’re unable to defeat this so-called kid? Graham will take his men back and the four of us will have to use the last of our powers which is so risky to do in a close place like this.”
“You mean we’ll have to summon the dragon to defeat that small kid?” Ratten said as he finally reached where the three students were standing, having a discussion.
“Ratten, he’s not a small kid. He has two Magics compared to us. We’ll be defeated if he’s to fight us with his full magic. That’s why we need to summon a dragon the next time we fight him.”
“Then we rather shouldn’t call him to this place then. We will have to ask Graham for a teleporter. That way we’ll be able to summon the dragon in an open field where no teacher or student would see what we did.” Matt planned.
“Like always, that’s a good idea.” The one who hadn’t spoken since immediately agreed to Matt’s plan.
The others also agreed with him but while discussing this, they could hear a groan coming from the elves that were fighting the fairy.
“Help us! This lady fairy is really strong.” One of the elves said before his mouth was smashed by Jeri’s fists. Her eyes glowed green as he glared at Matt and the others. She smiled devilishly as she slew the last elf with a shadow-made Sword.
“Nice work Jeri, you just made my quest easier.”
