Chapter 52: Classes and Professors II (1/2)

"Kathlyn Glayder I must say that it is an honor to have your presence in erated bow "Please do not hold whatever the results ainston a pitiful face

Her cold expression unwavering, Kathlyn just nodded, drawing her staff out froood! Let us proceed!" The Professor clapped, fire igniting from between his palms

Without a word, she lifted her sky blue staff Before Professor Geist had a chance to unleash his fireball, two javelins of ice formed around Kathlyn

"Shoot" I heard my fellow disciplinary committee officer mutter before the javelins fired towards our professor

So she decided to go the offensive route to keep Professor Geist fro her

A faint smirk crept up on our professor's face as he lifted his hands that were still aflame, ready to block the ice spears

As soon as the ice javelins touched the fire on his pal slowly as a sharp hiss resounded

"Ice Javelin," shejavelins formed near Kathlyn

"Shoot" Her expression re

"Haha! Irinned, the class leaning forward to get a better view of this intense battle Since most of the students were first-years, they weren't at the level where they'd be able to conjure so like this, let alone almost instantly

Our professor concentrated as the five spears shooting toward hih if not countered

"Ember Wisps!" The spell he prepared finished in ti orbs of blue fla his rank examination?

"Break," Kathlyn muttered, and she willed her five ice javelins to shatter into an uncountable amount of small, sharp shards of ice

"Fire!" Professor Geist, his face not nearly so s as before, willed hisob of blue fire to shoot at his opponent Kathlyn, on the other hand, was so focused on finishi+ng her final spell that she ignored the inco streams of blue fire about to hit her

"Ice Tornado!" Her voice filled with a faint panic as she realized upon finishi+ng her spell that she was about to receive the brunt of Geist's attack

PROFESSOR GEIST'S POV:

That idiot! Why didn't she defend herself instead of trying to finish the last spell?

As the tornado of ice shards began to whirl around me, I became nervous I wasn't scared of this fancy spell; I was scared that she ravely injured from my attack

Wasn't it common sense for a conjurer to have a layer of defense in battles? I chose a relatively easy spell to counter and the fact that she was a deviant specializing in ice made it all the more easy for her Did she want to win so o that?

I cancelled the spell but only the ember wisps disappeared The streams of blue fire that they shot at the stupid princess was still heading her way

damn it I'm screwed

Scorch Field

I willed a layer of heat aroundht scratches but I didn't care What happened to the princess? I didn't hear any screams from the other students Maybe she was okay?

da a fool of the elf

After the layer of ice shards that were blocking my view melted, I immediately tried to find the princess but instead, I found the last member of the three DC officers in my class, Arthur Leywin, in front of Kathlyn, as still covering her face with her arms in panic His palm was out in front of him while his other arm wrapped protectively around the princess

His eyes… I couldn't help but involuntarily treh me It felt even sharper than those ice spears that the princess threw at one on long enough, don't you think?" His expression stayed icy, the innocent façade that I no he usually kept nowhere in sight as his doaze looked at me without remorse Was this his true face?

"While I am thankful for your concern over the princess, it was unnecessary, as I had it all under control" No as I going to lose face right here, on the first day, in front of all of htly twitched and I could sense his annoyance Was I the only one feeling this pressure? This wasn't normal AA class mana beasts didn't even exude this much pressure

"Yes Do you think that I, a professor at this esteemed academy, would actually put one of my students in harm's way?" I said calmly There was no proof! Today was all just a little rate really planned on insisting that he had this all under control I already knew fro Lucas that once the remote spell froain, there was no proof since I'd blocked it

"I see… then in that case, allow ue in this 'demonstration'"

"Haha…well, if you insist I seem to have scared the princess a little too much with my last spell I should've cancelled it earlier if I knew you were going to interrupt Now, so to actually hurt her"

Even now, this pathetic excuse of an instructor was trying to defend his position I could already tell from the various murmurs around the class that

I turned back to Kathlyn "You're okay Do you think you can ently stirred her from her stupor

"Y-Yes… I'e in Kathlyn's expression She looked really eht red as she turned away to go back to her seat

"Then please guide me well" I turned back to Professor Geist and dren's Ballad The translucent teal blade triggered gasps and mutters of amaze
