A tall green hedge quickly appeared before me, blocking Katarou. I had to think of something quick, and I noticed the hedges that stood on either side of the dirt path. I extended their leaves and tiny branches to make a tall and thick hedge. Katarou bumped right into it on the other end. I should have added thorns as payback.81Please respect copyright.PENANA6vVdIyaE34
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyDXUf19jfj
81Please respect copyright.PENANAG7OKelCIWu
I quickly ran up the corridor, heading to the east side. The hedge isn't going to keep Katarou for long, and I had to think of something quickly.81Please respect copyright.PENANAOI4txfnIoX
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzlnkxfFuiM
81Please respect copyright.PENANA3vEkpXP3xk
At the end of the hall, I made a turn to the left and found part of the silk ropes of the spider web at the center of the dorm area that stuck onto the roof, poles, and walls for support. A loud noise behind me was a warning that he was fast approaching.81Please respect copyright.PENANAF7laoDqPSt
81Please respect copyright.PENANAZhxLsDt0Kk
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyq0e4IQaF1
I jumped off the corridor and hid behind the hedges on the lawn. Katarou was much quicker than I had anticipated, as he came around the corner where I had been seconds ago. If he had caught me, I don't know what he would’ve done. I can't run away from him forever. As much as playing defense looked favorable, I still had to find a way to knock him out.81Please respect copyright.PENANAa1kY8OUcR5
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzIHbIRV7u9
81Please respect copyright.PENANA3H1Z2La6Uk
As I continued to hide, I saw him turn his head, looking around. He started to chuckle.81Please respect copyright.PENANAfCRLRn9nbb
81Please respect copyright.PENANA09jqg7YinV
81Please respect copyright.PENANArXByZPLyqH
"Playing defense, aren't you, Diana?" he asked as he took a few steps on the corridor. "That's no fun. How are you going to free your friends if you can't fight me?"81Please respect copyright.PENANAxnWLtAzplo
81Please respect copyright.PENANAG4GdkIWKSo
81Please respect copyright.PENANAEzgv3LnDCl
The sudden ache in my head almost knocked me out with dizziness. Moreover, from where I hid, I felt like my knees would give in. I felt like falling, which I didn’t. This isn't good; I have to think of something fast.81Please respect copyright.PENANAWMgmiDCCkf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAI5bAHrMw7k
81Please respect copyright.PENANACdMPTIPH3y
The pain slowly subsided, and I focused on Katarou as he looked around the corridor. Then he drew out his left hand, and quickly I moved away from the hedge, standing out in the open. He had cast something on the hedges I was using for cover, and looking at them now, I noticed the green leaves and branches start to wither, and they died in an instant. Who is this guy?81Please respect copyright.PENANA4yp9moGodF
81Please respect copyright.PENANAYhpCakougP
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2I73zl6viK
"You can't do whatever you like, like you own the place," I said to him.81Please respect copyright.PENANAY20OLJMJ4a
81Please respect copyright.PENANAJoCdJgAYae
81Please respect copyright.PENANAv8L5WZigW9
"And how do you expect me to fight then?" he asked with a crooked smile on his face.81Please respect copyright.PENANAJp1MyG9JVe
81Please respect copyright.PENANAA40r0mbbKO
81Please respect copyright.PENANALGQkyCO65f
I looked at his left hand, which he used to cast the spell, and noticed the black swirling cloud of aura around it. There's something about his aura that doesn't seem right at all. It's strong, yet there's some malice in it. Why didn't I detect it sooner when we met? Moreover, how can he focus a massive amount of aura around one part of his body? There must be a trick to it.81Please respect copyright.PENANACDqqeOWp5H
81Please respect copyright.PENANANKhmAQOMt8
81Please respect copyright.PENANAX4dIkddoMP

81Please respect copyright.PENANASCys95um0h
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyjt1Go7i8x
Katarou soon came at me, jumping over the hedge with his leg extended out like he was about to kick me. I moved out of the way just in time. As soon as he landed on the ground, he threw another spell at me. The swirling black aura came at me like a small fireball. This reminded me of the fight I had with Pug when he threw fireballs at me.81Please respect copyright.PENANAMtoxzzxHg9
81Please respect copyright.PENANAaWuMvPE678
81Please respect copyright.PENANADRwztNWrxN
He threw another dark spell, and then another. I dodged each one, even when I was sloppy. However, I noticed that each spell he threw at me came faster than the last.81Please respect copyright.PENANAtPrYK49Y2R
81Please respect copyright.PENANAUoO4JAMSFF
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5pRNmfLcSg
Knowing that I couldn’t keep up with his speed, I summoned a green vine from the ground to try and defend myself from the spells. Just as the vine came into contact with it, the vine quickly rotted from the point of contact and fell apart. Damn! I should have learned from what he did to the hedge earlier that natural things like vines aren't immune to his spells.81Please respect copyright.PENANAtrLgDJKeQK
81Please respect copyright.PENANAROHcFY4dlx
81Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ihKhWcjd
Katarou smiled at me after reading my face, leaving me wide open for a second. I was a little quicker when he threw another spell at me. I dove and went for cover by the tree on the lawn that had the metal rod hanging from it. That was close. I breathed so hard, relieved to get away from him for a while.81Please respect copyright.PENANAuSFw737GRE
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7cWQYIOtTU
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5tpEPEDL3h

81Please respect copyright.PENANAOi8hZDGu9m
81Please respect copyright.PENANAPZES3D3Gsf
I sucked my teeth. I know that I’m not; he didn’t have to tell me. Likewise, I had to think of a way to attack him, or else I might rot to death.81Please respect copyright.PENANAa1UURZ3Xm5
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMWtEzYtwRX

I didn’t realize at first that I was now on my knees with a sharp pain in my head. My ears almost felt like they were ringing. The pain is only getting worse.81Please respect copyright.PENANA8dCmygnuQ2
81Please respect copyright.PENANADBsDy3t3tx
81Please respect copyright.PENANAZwAUeutLof
"Mmm, judging by the looks of things," said Katarou as he stopped approaching. "You aren’t so experienced with using all elements yet. I shouldn’t have expected much from you."81Please respect copyright.PENANAI66iD6P1Y2
81Please respect copyright.PENANAfwvGdq5ibs
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMhlpM6yxCK
I leaned my back onto the tree for support as the pain in my head subsided. "Something tells me you knew about it but still decided to fight me anyway," I said.81Please respect copyright.PENANApW8AGJuRiY

I quickly stood the moment I felt him ready to fire. Strange. Even when I couldn’t see him, it’s like I knew what he was about to do.81Please respect copyright.PENANA7G6GtmTlCC
81Please respect copyright.PENANANLcop8zs4w
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0BnEhoLBvP
Before he could fire his spell, a large wall of water sprouted from the ground like a fountain, forming a circle around me and the tree. Before that, I had fallen to my knees again to summon the water underground. I hadn’t been taught how to do that yet, especially with the green nature and earth in the way of things. To have pulled this off was impressive when I had a moment to think about it.81Please respect copyright.PENANAWFPfK0vIB9
81Please respect copyright.PENANApNokzS1Kxt
81Please respect copyright.PENANALEm4eLPL0I
Katarou had thrown his spell at me seconds after I put up the wall, and I realized that his spell dissipated as soon as it touched the water. I think I found what I could use as a weapon and a shield.81Please respect copyright.PENANARR7GoSkWTr
81Please respect copyright.PENANAoIE9n3XGEv
81Please respect copyright.PENANA19zZT3Z4VV
"Impressive," said Katarou. "But don’t forget that you’re open."81Please respect copyright.PENANAPi1CBo4J9d
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqBCoxAkTN1
81Please respect copyright.PENANAL9oxloGmfi
I knew what he meant. The wall might have covered my sides, but there was wide-open space above me, and he quickly came into view, flying in. I moved aside before his feet touched the ground. As soon as he landed, I drew back, flying out of the water barrier. He saw me moving away, and just as he was about to raise his left hand, a vine from the ground wrapped around his arm, drawing it back and stopping him from throwing a spell. Before he could do anything with his right hand, another vine sprouted from the ground to wrap around his right arm as well. As long as the vines don’t come into contact with his hands, then I should be fine.81Please respect copyright.PENANArRplEeKna2
81Please respect copyright.PENANApbSkMsruc5
81Please respect copyright.PENANANLjw4eIpoJ
The water barrier fell as I had been standing outside it, summoning the vines. I realized that using two elements at the same time was taking a toll, hence dropping the water barrier. As Katarou struggled to get out of the vine’s grasp, I pulled out more vines to tie up his waist and legs.81Please respect copyright.PENANAftAiEKu31a

81Please respect copyright.PENANAtVX0qimGj2
He looked annoyed at first, yet he couldn’t help but smile. "You were ready for this, weren’t you, Diana?" he asked, with a hint of irritation in his voice. I bet he is the type who doesn’t like to lose.81Please respect copyright.PENANAHDt0Ht2uVv

81Please respect copyright.PENANA8gPZ1WgKID
81Please respect copyright.PENANAsI7IPTwcaW
He struggled a little. "You know this isn’t how it's supposed to work. You’re supposed to knock me out if you want the poison to dissipate. And also, I can just attack when I feel like it."81Please respect copyright.PENANARXWHbijOyb
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5qf0AUnB4H

The feeling I felt at the back of my neck made me realize there was danger behind me. I turn around and find two black spiders, the size of small cars, appear up the roof of one of the dorms. This is what he meant. I needed to knock him out completely for him to stop using his spiders. Is there more to it than I realize?81Please respect copyright.PENANAgkxLCHZEG6
81Please respect copyright.PENANAbGRjGROBud
81Please respect copyright.PENANAJUeTcXlPid
I need a weapon. I’m not sure if water will help ward off the spiders, but I found myself forming a weapon in my right hand using water in the air and shaping it. Furthermore, I solidified the water, turning it into ice. I recently learned this from Stella. Likewise, I created a sword with a very sharp edge. A sword made of either earth or fire would have sufficed. However, I have a long way to go in controlling those elements.81Please respect copyright.PENANAEoWCaAGjYR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWNmK35XNIY
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQbVI9Sv6Yq
A sharp jolt of pain shot through the back of my head, almost causing me to lose focus. I fought the urge to fall to the ground. Katarou scoffed behind me.81Please respect copyright.PENANA6ctpUMSvrD
81Please respect copyright.PENANAlk35CNWZ2J

81Please respect copyright.PENANADff9FTV07M
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMAxgHaDiAD
He didn’t say anything afterwards, and that’s when I knew I was right. I have to think of something other than knocking him out before the effects of the poison get worse.81Please respect copyright.PENANAAerjrAgt54

The two black spiders were hairy and sort of terrifying as their black, beady eyes stared back at me. Not to mention their claw-like mouths that would tear me in half if I wasn’t careful. They started to make their way down the roof, and I backed away a bit, sword in hand. I could hear Katarou chuckle behind me.81Please respect copyright.PENANAeqlFVY3xSR

The spiders were now edging closer as they soon reached the ground. One of them had already gone over the hedge. I couldn’t help but notice their long, black, hairy legs as they approached.81Please respect copyright.PENANAJWQIA0dsdc
81Please respect copyright.PENANApVUz5MT4AX
81Please respect copyright.PENANAq8B9CgwtAE
I suddenly put up a water barrier around Katarou. One of them is likely to go after him to set him free. I don’t know for how long I would fight them off, because I can’t hold up the barrier for long either.81Please respect copyright.PENANAuOUEc7P8QQ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAysK7psl8Qc
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhja3dS3fDF
One of the spiders quickly charged at me, but I was quick enough to slash my sword at it, slashing at one of its legs. It gave out a painful squeal, then it came at me again, this time attacking with another leg. I backed away quickly to avoid it. I should be careful. Not only that, but I didn’t want to back away too much from the lawn, for I might find myself far away from Katarou or might get caught in the huge spider web with my friends on it.81Please respect copyright.PENANAtFBHPWqlxD
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqETG5J3LzU
81Please respect copyright.PENANA13SZSBMmTU
As the spider approached, I also came running at it. Before it could catch me with its mouth, I made a big leap into the air and landed on the spider’s back. The spider partly lifted his front legs off the ground to try and shake me off, but I plunged my sword deep into its back to hold on. It let out an ear-splitting scream.81Please respect copyright.PENANAHAWXB4bTo1
81Please respect copyright.PENANADYZbVtSSNq
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXRbukmGT73
I turn my head to see the other spider approach the water barrier. With its large claw-like leg, it would easily break it. While the spider I was on shook itself to get me off it, I went on one knee to balance and keep myself from falling over. As I held on to the sword’s hilt, my left hand started to form another weapon using water. When the water hardened, I held the weapon steadily. It was difficult to balance on top of the spider moving to and fro. Still holding on to the sword, I now stood with my other weapon, which was slightly bigger and heavier than my sword in hand, and steadied myself to throw. Apparently, timing also mattered.81Please respect copyright.PENANAZqDaphbhXR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAoymhCc6SXv
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXVN2jXKcqI
As the other spider was a few feet away from reaching Katarou, I threw the large spear I had formed in my hand with all my strength. I strained the muscles of my left arm, as it was my weaker side, and the spear was heavy. I got lucky, as the spear pierced through one of the back legs of the spider, and its sharp end went straight into the ground, pinning the spider in its place. It let out a shriek.81Please respect copyright.PENANA5DEuujB0cM
81Please respect copyright.PENANAAT5JR48k4O
81Please respect copyright.PENANApbu6xBAxof
I now turn my attention to the spider I’m on, as it soon lifted its front legs again. This time, I was sure to fall off. But I hold on to the sword etched on the spider’s back. As soon as its legs touched the ground again, I pulled out the sword from its body and started to make my way towards its head. All of a sudden, I got pushed aside and off of the spider’s back. I crashed into the hedges. I quickly had to catch my breath as I looked around to see what might have knocked me over. Before I could even get the chance to move, I found myself stuck in the hedges. It was then that I realized that half of my body going downward had been wrapped in a white, thick form. It was a spider web. How?81Please respect copyright.PENANAg5gOPwsQ8N
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0QUur1WDov
81Please respect copyright.PENANAG8VFyBE2MN
I turned to see the spider I had struck the spear at. It had squirted out the spider web as it had its back facing me. Even with its legs pinned down, it could still move. Now I see it trying to move towards Katarou. It’s attempting to tear its leg from its body. I've got to stop it.81Please respect copyright.PENANAaB0htwWnMs
81Please respect copyright.PENANADLFgnPGVKi
81Please respect copyright.PENANACbbUXSJfkH
I tried to move my feet, but they stuck like glue under the web. The other spider I had climbed on came towards me. This is bad. I could hear a silent growl from it, as if ready to attack me for what I did.81Please respect copyright.PENANAojlMB1aBeB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAutZz3VckVG
81Please respect copyright.PENANAblWuWsmTDC
I see the other spider finally tear out its pinned leg, and white ghoulish liquid ran down its detached leg as it slowly made its way towards Katarou. Likewise, I quickly started to look around for my sword and found it lying far away from the spider that was approaching. It’s too far for me to reach. And if there’s even a summoning spell out there to bring it closer, it's sad to say that I don’t know one. If I’m going to get out of this mess, I’ll need to act like a spider.81Please respect copyright.PENANAxnAAogzkyR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAp75o5gYLhm
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0IEf6bTaJ1
When the spider got close, it raised one of its legs to strike. My arms were still free, so I quickly stretched out my right arm upwards and summoned a vine that quickly shot up from the hedge, and it quickly wrapped around the pole up the roof. I quickly grabbed the vine and pulled myself upward, releasing myself from the clutches of the web just in time before the raised leg of the spider hit the spot where I had been earlier.81Please respect copyright.PENANAPz9wQCHyl4
81Please respect copyright.PENANAHPTY9Tk9eQ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAoYEi3uXGeK
As I flew in the air, I quickly did a backflip to land myself on top of the roof. Wow, I didn't think I'd actually pull it off. Using the vine to pull me up worked like a charm. But I had a more pressing issue to sort out.81Please respect copyright.PENANAFLsmgnzGFs
81Please respect copyright.PENANAKEpBPyxqI5
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXKmsEIvzMy
The spider with a detached leg was etching its way ever closer to Katarou. I thought of creating another spear, but I was stopped short when I found myself on my knees close to the edge of the roof, holding the side of my head. I had to be careful because I was close to slipping off. When I looked below, the other spider was looking at me, ready for my fall. Luckily enough, I still had my hand wrapped around the vine. I wasn’t going to give Katarou the pleasure of seeing me fall to my doom. He could see me from up here, and I could only imagine the smirk on his face.81Please respect copyright.PENANAfXFUXWY84I
81Please respect copyright.PENANAstvVMXxVm5
81Please respect copyright.PENANAv3AKpOsgn2
I slowly stood, catching my breath after the pain and weakness in my knees subsided. Time is of the essence. I need to finish this quickly. But how?81Please respect copyright.PENANAzSxZowRFoB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzt7xi6FbNx
81Please respect copyright.PENANAjZgRnu58r8
The spider below was starting to make its way up the roof, and the other spider was almost reaching Katarou. I have decided, but I don’t know if what I have in mind will work.81Please respect copyright.PENANAkZX0RMioRz
81Please respect copyright.PENANARtnbe3FuEI
81Please respect copyright.PENANAIOiLYxJFb6

81Please respect copyright.PENANAsFIgk8o3DX
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzSOzMjMH0S
After taking a deep breath, I started to run down the roof. Everything happened so fast afterwards. I jumped off the roof just before one of the spider’s legs reached the top. I jumped over, avoiding the spider. The distance between the roof and the ground wasn’t so big. But I had to be careful with the way I landed. I did so with both feet lightly pressed onto the ground, and in a squatting position, I rolled over so fast that later I was up on my own two feet.81Please respect copyright.PENANAG0WNn6H3eM
81Please respect copyright.PENANAjWGcby0q5R
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2TtiA5IUX0
I first ran for the sword on the ground and made my way towards the spider, trying to free Katarou. Not only that, but I had to be quick, for I could hear the other spider behind me quickly land back on the ground and start to follow me.81Please respect copyright.PENANAKKhNzvueiJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAximkFpeQC3
81Please respect copyright.PENANAYCnbVfT60B
The spider ahead knew I was coming. Before I could get close, it lifted its large abdomen to a certain height, ready to fire another web at me. This time I was prepared, as I quickly went down on my knees, sliding on the green grass to avoid it as the web flew above my head. Still sliding on the grass, I quickly reached the spider and went straight for its other two legs at the back with a quick swing of my sword. It screamed in pain, and the noise echoed all around the school.81Please respect copyright.PENANA9Le3ciZ3nk
81Please respect copyright.PENANA1TO28wDbqL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAtEpEt5eHvr
Still on my knees, I went underneath the large spider to cut off its last remaining legs. I had to hurry though, as the other spider was close, and if I’m not careful, the spider above me might try and attack with its remaining legs.81Please respect copyright.PENANAXwavWcW5j9
81Please respect copyright.PENANA4gBbdtNqS5
81Please respect copyright.PENANATiMW7tqeXu
As I slashed one leg at a time, ghoulish liquid splattered all over me, and the spider continued to scream in agony. It turned around trying to find me, but with me underneath, I had the upper hand. The spider’s abdomen hit the ground first, as most of the legs had been cut off. I made my way to the front, and I had to be careful to stay away from its mouth. I slashed the last remaining leg and ran off to prevent the now-legless, screeching spider from falling on top of me. It landed on the ground with a thud. It should be grateful. If I wanted, I would’ve plunged the sword straight into its head. With the way it's bleeding profusely, it would probably die anyway.81Please respect copyright.PENANANy6FTRC03P

I started to make my way towards the water barrier. The other spider, seeing what I had done to its comrade, let out an angry roar. It’s really pissed.81Please respect copyright.PENANAfXuWWpGlXh

I drop the water barrier and turn to look at Katarou, who is still tied up with vines. He looked at me as I got a little closer to him.81Please respect copyright.PENANA60W3k2a2j0

Before he could protest, I put up the barrier again, this time made of ice, surrounding him in a closed sphere. I was getting so used to using water that I could now harden it to form ice instantly. Katarou looked at me, confused that I had refused his offer and imprisoned him in a much stronger barrier.81Please respect copyright.PENANAuTLOijn3K8

I turn my back on him. If I wanted to, I would have shut his mouth up with vines. I brushed the thought away as I turned to look at the spider in front of me.81Please respect copyright.PENANAeVFNsaDkE0
81Please respect copyright.PENANANsNtWnfvMU
81Please respect copyright.PENANACNPt0CZeKK
The spider soon charged, and I knew this was it. I've got to end this once and for all.81Please respect copyright.PENANAh5Eg00MUDD
81Please respect copyright.PENANAJcKurQxsdS
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWniXWk08Ff
I knelt and placed both my hands on the ground to summon the water from underground, but then a sharp jolt of pain shot through my head, throwing me off guard and breaking the flow.81Please respect copyright.PENANAHNePp21OZj
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMGR8pynvEN
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMGYg1urxoj
The thumping sound of the spider's feet made me aware of its presence, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself getting out of the way just in time. And that gave the spider an advantage.81Please respect copyright.PENANAq1sbSH93y8
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7WFhB4thS9
81Please respect copyright.PENANAPdDD6Y2JQp
With me out of the way, the spider easily reached the ice barrier. With its legs, it started to hit the barrier, trying to crack it open.81Please respect copyright.PENANAk6KH3pQlgL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWKajL5roSu
81Please respect copyright.PENANAODSrCCmTcl
I stood to get my stance straight, and with the spider's back facing me, I started to summon vines from underground, first wrapping themselves around the leg that was hitting upon the ice barrier.81Please respect copyright.PENANAdAVSIJCgs5
81Please respect copyright.PENANAH9R0x3i5W5
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7tkbyTmBp7
Just as it was about to raise its other front leg, I brought out another set of vines to wrap around it. It did all it could to pull away at the vines, but I kept it at bay. It wouldn’t be too long till I felt weak in the knees and lost my guard, knowing that the spider would soon have the advantage. I have to be quick.81Please respect copyright.PENANASO8I2TQuDw
81Please respect copyright.PENANA3BIYbVJL2r
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXvMXxankh8
I pulled at the vines, bending the legs of the spider outward. It screamed in pain, and I bet it knew what I was planning to do. Either break or rip its front legs apart.81Please respect copyright.PENANAmyE7CGEqSb
81Please respect copyright.PENANAe7fBbiUHGa
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyO630jj4Xz
The spider soon settled itself on the ground as it adjusted its abdomen to fire a ball of web at me. But I was quick, as vines from right underneath it shot up from the ground, wrapping themselves around the spider. The spider struggled as it tried to keep itself up, but the vines wrapped around it started to pull it downward. Doing this was taking up a lot of my energy, and somehow it didn’t surprise me how many vines I was able to control at the same time to trap the spider.81Please respect copyright.PENANAp9hjgcLl64
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQcGwPfLEir
81Please respect copyright.PENANAptmf40V6OW
Finally, the legs of the spider gave in, and it soon found itself tied down to the ground. It tried to pull itself up a little more, but found it useless. It soon stood still, realizing that it wasn’t going to go free any time soon.81Please respect copyright.PENANAYjiRG4CgPB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvNbfK75biB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAeJbwIOOzfJ
I wiped the beads of sweat on my forehead, glad that the trouble was over. But not quite yet.81Please respect copyright.PENANAzdB1LD5HXO
81Please respect copyright.PENANAfmFKGJc6Fb
81Please respect copyright.PENANADbnVaGwUXq
I walked around the spider, making my way to Katarou. It growled at me a little, and I turned to look at its big, black, beady eyes. It fell silent. The expression on my face that reflected in its eyes was one that didn't want to mess with its impudence at the moment. As I looked at myself briefly, I also came to the same conclusion: I wouldn’t like to mess with myself right now.81Please respect copyright.PENANAR5oQhxPu7Y
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2K8Y6bkhwf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhZYZInmeV9
I reached the ice-dome-shaped prison and raised my hand. I slowly started to bring the ice down, revealing Katarou.81Please respect copyright.PENANAsrq6koj5jG
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqMAMhpKnTW
81Please respect copyright.PENANAuJeLilnPQd
“Well,” he started to say, still trapped in the hold of the vines. “That was impressive.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAnoqw5nKV61
81Please respect copyright.PENANAdD9GNgewcc
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGrARU81Kxa
“The antidote, Katarou,” I said. I wasn’t in the mood for praise.81Please respect copyright.PENANAvUWJ7x9YGb
81Please respect copyright.PENANA599CADKNu4
81Please respect copyright.PENANAS4TMN2tXUB
“I will give it to you. But you have to let me go first.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAFYI3Kvh9Pz
81Please respect copyright.PENANA94eCcACJOw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAFjOpXyMbPb
“I knew you would say that.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAd2XnfzY14r
81Please respect copyright.PENANA4bjIxbD0UZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7JCJxGR1tv
My fingers clenched into a fist, and the ice that happened to be going down slowly and quickly changed shape into pointed ice shards, aiming at Katarou from all sides. He gulped, and I noticed that he was slowly starting to sweat a little.81Please respect copyright.PENANAkzJDgy9B6a
81Please respect copyright.PENANAP2jXpaPTRf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAYUExrSvGz2
“Are you trying to scare me, Diana?” He asked as he raised his voice a little to sound confident. “I know you can’t even kill me.”81Please respect copyright.PENANApJZPa5GN3M
81Please respect copyright.PENANATe6TguwrO0
81Please respect copyright.PENANAidfs4xN4g9
“I know, but I can torture you if I have to.” I made sure I meant it as I edged the pointed tips of the ice slowly towards him.81Please respect copyright.PENANAI1EB56uV40
81Please respect copyright.PENANAgKMwAvYp8G
81Please respect copyright.PENANAOBBMVQRMPi
"Okay, okay, you win," said Katarou as one sharp shard of ice almost reached his throat.81Please respect copyright.PENANAAPpj7ACmlV
81Please respect copyright.PENANACmYWsBWy5b
81Please respect copyright.PENANARtoOnfwqHI
All of a sudden, the shiny, purple spider appeared out of his sleeve. It started to make its way down the ice shards toward me. I stretched out my left hand, and it bit me. The sting was just the same as before, hurting like hell. But soon enough, I felt a sudden sensation run through my body like cool, fresh water.81Please respect copyright.PENANAL6OMD5OJhF
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQDuY3TX7nP
81Please respect copyright.PENANAn2hy0Zfc3z
"There, I did as you asked," said Katarou. I watched the purple spider walk away, back to its master. "Now let me go."81Please respect copyright.PENANAmtgzUnzWas
81Please respect copyright.PENANASxz8JWbKNB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAawRjodp3fA
"Not yet," I told him. "I've got to be sure that the antidote you gave me is genuine."81Please respect copyright.PENANAXgzazJU1Jl
81Please respect copyright.PENANA1YuRPiDtYM
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVEX6Og1hv4
Katarou rolled his eyes at me as he scoffed. "Seriously?" he asked. "It's like I mentioned before. When you win, I give you the antidote. And if you hadn't noticed, time is almost up. The entire school will be awake. You don't want them to see this mess."81Please respect copyright.PENANAYGKYXOMkZw
81Please respect copyright.PENANA8iToUtjcNw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGnfa2oWQaW
He's right. Thirty minutes were almost up, and the dorm area was covered with a huge spider web with my friends on it—an almost dead spider and one trapped in vines. Luckily enough, there was no damage to any of the buildings. That would raise concern. But the mess in the middle of the dorm area would also be a huge talk, as there isn't enough time to clear it all up.81Please respect copyright.PENANApXsDHlgiYu
81Please respect copyright.PENANAAwp7qqYQDg
81Please respect copyright.PENANAoj479MjsDA
"But you're sure that you've given me the antidote?" I asked.81Please respect copyright.PENANAQEOnnniPGe
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvui5RCg9le
81Please respect copyright.PENANAsFLb26096y
"You haven't had a headache, have you?" Katarou asked. "I've kept my word, Diana. Now let me -"81Please respect copyright.PENANA9GY3YBYe2o
81Please respect copyright.PENANA9rVyLTC6ii
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhR0eMzLN97
Before he could say the last word, the sharp ice shards disappeared, and so did the vines wrapped around him. Strange. I don't think I did that. I noticed that the vines wrapped around one of the spiders also vanished.81Please respect copyright.PENANA6r8ITCFk1N
81Please respect copyright.PENANABcBWafB95D
81Please respect copyright.PENANAYHwodqPBhK
"Well, you really know how to cause drama, Katarou," came the voice of a male behind me.81Please respect copyright.PENANAm8EgRspEmL
81Please respect copyright.PENANACejIe88VZE
81Please respect copyright.PENANAgOXORHLa5i
Without hesitation, I turned around with a sword of ice already in my hand to face this newcomer. Standing there was a man of dark skin, also wearing a similar outfit to Katarou’s, but it was a dark blue and white robe. There was something about him that felt familiar, but I couldn’t point it out. Standing on either side of him were Stella and Bob. I lowered my weapon. It seems he isn’t a threat after all.81Please respect copyright.PENANAaApgFFMj0K
81Please respect copyright.PENANAC78inyCMh0
81Please respect copyright.PENANAc54XZEF9AS
“Who are you?” I asked.81Please respect copyright.PENANAlXf4GwljBt
81Please respect copyright.PENANAHzOEqzNdjL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXu70WpCHPo
“An acquaintance of the Butterfly Sect,” the man answered so calmly. “My name is Kasonde."81Please respect copyright.PENANAjKBDfgNxTC
81Please respect copyright.PENANA1pnj7rSuwi
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWVkKh3vLUf
It's no wonder he felt familiar. He’s Zambian. I never thought fellow citizens could be involved with other sects. Well, there was that one girl back at Butterfly Island whom I also felt was my fellow compatriot. Siphiwe. I might be mistaken, and she probably could be South African.81Please respect copyright.PENANAhU2D7gRRnR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWzJpjiH7EY
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvMAq0aWD9U
“I’m guessing you know Katarou here,” I said.81Please respect copyright.PENANA4NutNaTFtx
81Please respect copyright.PENANAS45PzHnVRZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANA20v13SJjKb
Kasonde gave a nod of his bald head. “I’m sorry for the trouble he has caused, but..."81Please respect copyright.PENANAP2KPU9gVPR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqaQTyP2uSf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAozTSb1u2oE
“You couldn’t help but watch everything from a distance.” I interrupted him by finishing his sentence.81Please respect copyright.PENANAYjh7lRqXXR
81Please respect copyright.PENANAOuIh1NdwAH
81Please respect copyright.PENANALO7Q6QRN3R
Stella and Bob shared a look. They clearly know that I’m not happy with how all this played out. Kasonde, on the other hand, looked surprised that I was spot on with what he wanted to say.81Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZBaKaOjX6
81Please respect copyright.PENANAuAFcozEcmt
81Please respect copyright.PENANAJczkm1x2CN
“Uh, yes,” he replied. “Rest assured that we were going to intervene if things went a little too far.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHeXpkU7c
81Please respect copyright.PENANAn8NagvafZ9
81Please respect copyright.PENANAjwrIBBYY8j
I scoffed, then muttered, “That’s what you all say.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6vy9hHpIQ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzdpbPViQcg
81Please respect copyright.PENANAMgABa7L9cd
Stella stepped in. “We only got to know all this was going on when Kasonde paid us a visit, warning us that Katarou was interested in meeting you. Everyone knows how crafty he could be, and when Kasonde couldn’t find him at their headquarters, he came to the Butterfly Sect looking for you. But that was after you had already left.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAdcQ8Ep5d7C
81Please respect copyright.PENANAn9ZblDkoPw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAEvMuk4cXxY
I didn’t say anything. In fact, I didn’t want to.81Please respect copyright.PENANATs3DIVIbWi
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXKAvD1Q0P7
81Please respect copyright.PENANAenBto9jeIy
“For someone who has only managed to learn water and earth elements, she’s excellent," said Katarou. “Mei wasn’t lying when she said she has good fighting abilities too.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAm9TQuEmU4S
81Please respect copyright.PENANAlhO35KnH8W
81Please respect copyright.PENANAtWTBX9lZgP
I turned to look at Katarou, who now stood beside me. He was in contact with Mei. Are the two of them friends?81Please respect copyright.PENANAbF2gLUSv4k
81Please respect copyright.PENANAuiFayITRxq
81Please respect copyright.PENANASRRpScJ502
“All the more reason why you shouldn’t have come to test her in the first place,” said Kasonde, sounding upset. “You can’t be where you aren’t supposed to be to do whatever you want.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAkpuFvznUUv
81Please respect copyright.PENANAreyb3kfqxE
81Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wmbqck2Ll
“But it was worth it.” Katarou gave out a devilish smile. “The girl has potential, as you all saw. She’s unlike any of the other rookies I’ve seen. The Butterfly Sect is quite lucky to have her, especially for someone who can control all six elements.”81Please respect copyright.PENANA5uDDQDO1jt
81Please respect copyright.PENANAieG4al7K3E
81Please respect copyright.PENANAagIwNiXqzk
“We know,” Bob said. “Next time, please give us a heads-up. We don’t want other sects to know about Diana just yet. It’s already too early for her to be receiving so much attention.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ7APcC6zf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAUZxR9zZ3L0
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7gCsDH1Ons
“Oh, I don’t think they will be hearing about Diana from me,” said Katarou as he playfully scratched the back of his head. “The same way we got to know about her existence, I bet many supernaturals already know if they were paying attention.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAAFt2hOaghg
81Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbGzMWwFf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAcB8ttJMwrl
I raise an eyebrow at Katarou. What does he mean by that? Does that mean there was some sort of sign that showed that there's someone who can control all six elements?81Please respect copyright.PENANAMUlhlerU4B
81Please respect copyright.PENANA317MR1il83
81Please respect copyright.PENANAsgYDK6Swzs
Before I could open my mouth to ask him, Stella soon said, “Now is not the time to discuss this. I hope you’re satisfied with your fight with Diana.”81Please respect copyright.PENANA3QFnbuvdlC
81Please respect copyright.PENANASRQQRylHIa
81Please respect copyright.PENANANdghnDk04D
“More than satisfied,” Katarou said, turning to look at me with a smile on his face. “She fought like her life depended on it, which was impressive. Who has been teaching you combat skills?”81Please respect copyright.PENANAk3sAKqvAGi
81Please respect copyright.PENANAkq4FzLbPst
81Please respect copyright.PENANA8tOuxnFEnv
“No one,” Bob answered. “The first time she was tested, she fought like she knew what she was doing. And it was the first time using the stones for a boost, so she was sharp enough to know what they were used for.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAY09uB5yZ4P
81Please respect copyright.PENANAezuU3WyacE
81Please respect copyright.PENANAlPElHfxclv
I almost gave Bob a glare. I can answer the questions meant for me, thank you very much. My eyes were still fixed on Katarou, though. If I let my guard down for one second, he might let another spider bite me again.81Please respect copyright.PENANAESrjro3sLJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5J7RwIDrHH
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVSAtrZyQLx
“Impressive, indeed,” said Kasonde. “Have you checked if she had any ties to the supernatural in the family?”81Please respect copyright.PENANAdHGOXFchIo
81Please respect copyright.PENANA0sXkL7QVzf
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5L2U0XBiW3
“We’re yet to find that out,” Stella answered. "Now, if you don’t mind, you and Kasonde better clean up this mess and leave. We don’t want to wipe away a lot of girls’ memories upon seeing giant spiders around here.”81Please respect copyright.PENANA5qipL1gd1h
81Please respect copyright.PENANAnJyeyfbddH
81Please respect copyright.PENANAngfBFMIvJH
“Ah, yes, I almost forgot about that," said Katarou. “I’m glad you’re here to help, Kasonde.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAZEXoVHXtKa
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzJdphVn5Oi
81Please respect copyright.PENANAmIcBuNxuSV
“Don’t look at me,” said Kasonde, throwing an annoyed look at him. “This is your mess, so you clean it up. Our superior is going to be furious with you after all you’ve done.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAF4JctiCAF6
81Please respect copyright.PENANA92gkF1kkXZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAi5XylZ0mGO
“I know. I’ll face any punishment that comes my way.” I noticed that Katarou didn’t seem to care. It’s like he’s been through it before, so he’s already used to it.81Please respect copyright.PENANAPfdAY6XMy2
81Please respect copyright.PENANAo2ygu83qvQ
81Please respect copyright.PENANABMgfPNvSmT
Bob came over to me. “Let’s go, Diana,” he said. “Let them clean up while we wait outside. You need a little clean-up as well.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAbpeFbAqWkw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAUlBpquGOCS
81Please respect copyright.PENANAcsMyZWAOO9
“That’s fine with me,” I said. I was eager to get away from Katarou. Not forgetting that I needed to get this ghoul off of me after the messy fight with the spiders.81Please respect copyright.PENANAW6tIitaNbu
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGkuKYvNbyA
81Please respect copyright.PENANAaPxffftkar
“Oh, Diana,” Katarou called out to me.81Please respect copyright.PENANAKo0T0YE9I2
81Please respect copyright.PENANAejjHNK8gqk
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqJoD5LyiFf
I turned to look at him.81Please respect copyright.PENANAwXIvIkYLrj
81Please respect copyright.PENANAqfo8bk5cOB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAY5ejJJuIO7
“No hard feelings, okay?” He said this with a smile. “I just wanted to see what you were made of. Hopefully, the next time we meet, you’ll be a lot stronger than you are now.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Y2QAiseL
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q7Uhg9TeA
81Please respect copyright.PENANAZITKYB3e9v
I don’t know how to respond to him, but I said, “The next time we meet, I’ll behead you.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAaoHsNiagKL
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2L9YRy6CGL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGkdi5lcros
Katarou gave me that mocking smile. “Oh, I’ll be waiting. And just know that I’ll be watching you.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAEuczO6WxrM
81Please respect copyright.PENANAaVM1zP4p9h
81Please respect copyright.PENANAAkmI8GH89K
I gave him a nod of my head and followed Bob out of the dorm area. Stella followed slowly behind us after we passed her. I had to admit that I was now less angry than I was at first.81Please respect copyright.PENANApHUlTK6u0a
81Please respect copyright.PENANARKLkg339eF
81Please respect copyright.PENANAe3yhbeflAi
As I waited outside the wall of the dorm area, after Stella cleaned me up with her water magic, I started to hear the sound of a few students' talking and footsteps. Good, they were awake. And I hope Katarou and Kasonde have done a good job clearing up the place.81Please respect copyright.PENANAHk6aLTutTL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAux0Z8jEZWn
81Please respect copyright.PENANAOTNQU1M6XF
“We better be going now,” said Stella. “Don’t forget that you've got training tomorrow.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAOhjsLuvtL5
81Please respect copyright.PENANArhEgf0VbvW
81Please respect copyright.PENANAEpkJugsoDa
“Okay,” I said. I started to turn around and head towards the dorm area when I felt Stella place her hand on my shoulder, stopping me. I turn to look at her.81Please respect copyright.PENANAvoi4F9iHa8
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5qdtfrQCrT
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2J98RXcKwN
“We’re sorry for what happened today,” said Stella. “We should have taken extra precaution when it came to your safety.”81Please respect copyright.PENANA6f0tvxRdbl
81Please respect copyright.PENANAN2Ue5SG81F
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvI67xcJDU6
"So what Katarou said about other sects knowing I exist is true?” I asked.81Please respect copyright.PENANAuPTohll4RM
81Please respect copyright.PENANA7V3FuZ66Ji
81Please respect copyright.PENANAX69KuRHjk8
Bob answered this time. “Yes. And we overlooked the fact that, just like Lord Vandell came after you, something similar would occur, like we’ve seen with Katarou. Though, unlike Lord Vandell, Katarou had good intentions. It’s also clear to see that you’ve improved so well with the elements. At some point, you even managed to use two of them at the same time.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAM57YhBMo89
81Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ6qNCGLCs
81Please respect copyright.PENANALJAf8I6EJY
“But you still have a long way to go,” said Stella. “We’ll set up a barrier around the school to inform us of any supernatural beings that might come here with the intention of meeting you.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAoI21BQlXmn
81Please respect copyright.PENANAOYSM2iQa52
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhqbP1PYMon
“Why can’t I just summon you guys for help when I need it?” I asked.81Please respect copyright.PENANApTqffq2RnC
81Please respect copyright.PENANAuyJzwT8aWY
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5WZhLaxQWs
“You’re not quite there yet with learning the summoning spell. With the barrier, we would be alerted if any danger happens. We’ll see you later, Diana.”81Please respect copyright.PENANA6iucgxyPdh
81Please respect copyright.PENANAIZGFlcPdkb
81Please respect copyright.PENANAH7TBYsehPf
I wanted to mention that the next time we meet, they are going to have a lot of explaining to do. But I kept my mouth shut, telling myself that it was best not to tell them. They would hear from me soon enough.81Please respect copyright.PENANAV7P036yJFw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVMjrHhFSUE
81Please respect copyright.PENANA2W6yv62pTV
Stella and Bob started to make their way towards the garage area, and I made my way to the gate. When I turned around for a moment, they were gone.81Please respect copyright.PENANADpNNJz8wD6
81Please respect copyright.PENANAad0HE9rtAo
81Please respect copyright.PENANA9GucTsUHZl
As I entered the dorm area, I found a few girls walking around. There were some with confused looks on their faces. It was best not to ask and continue on my way to the dorm. It’s almost supper time, and someone would ring the bell any minute.81Please respect copyright.PENANAdeePLVEMs4
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQUzHom5sVO
81Please respect copyright.PENANAd2jqosPmx2
When I entered the heart and center of the dorm area, I realized that the lawn that I had been fighting Katarou and the spiders on was back to normal. No loose vines and spider webs; no ghoulish liquid and spider legs everywhere. The hedge that Katarou destroyed was whole and green again. It was like the fight had never happened.81Please respect copyright.PENANAIrxsHDItFd
81Please respect copyright.PENANAIZwNVaBk1d
81Please respect copyright.PENANANZyICKj965
As I continued to look at the perfectly made lawn, two students came my way, one asking the other if they had somehow fallen into a sudden sleep and then woke up. The other girl didn’t seem bothered, as she mentioned that she had been tired and deserved the sleep. It seems there is nothing to worry about.81Please respect copyright.PENANAE3z3ABMRtJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAbboLN9hZYH
81Please respect copyright.PENANAtrMSgOIYtf
I start to make my way to the dorm when I meet Christine and Amanda, who are walking out with plates in their hands. Christine apparently had mine.81Please respect copyright.PENANA4np9CGlpjw
81Please respect copyright.PENANAfmUIUBohjH
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5yk0UrDdOi
“Here you go,” she said as she handed it to me. “We better get going before the bell rings.”81Please respect copyright.PENANAuGUsSTjocT
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQbS2iqVmlx
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyK115oT0Cy
“Sure,” I said, and the three of us walked down the hall, heading out of the dorm area, talking about what happened during class like everything was alright with the world.81Please respect copyright.PENANAkpRvuJsTfQ
