Re: Love & Magic

“P-please, let us g-go… Argh!”

“N-no, no! Not there!”

Zevien’s claw hit the crotch of the man, causing blood to gush out.

“Aaarghhhh-“

After screaming for a bit, he fainted while his two mates looked at Zevien and Vernisia with fear evident in their eyes.

“You are not escaping!” Vernisia uttered as she used Shadow Hex binding on them while Zevien used Blackout Bubbles before attacking.

“Stop!”

Zevien stopped his claws just a few centimeters away before looking at a middle-aged man floating outside the barrier. However, after glancing at him, Zevien continued and slashed the crotches of both men.

The students outside felt a chill crawling up their spine; the male students even touched their crotches involuntarily. How ruthless! They all thought.

“Why did this fight break out?” the middle-aged man asked with slight dissatisfaction towards Zevien since he didn’t stop his action despite him saying so.

Vernisia told him the situation and after hearing it, the middle-aged man looked at the three 4th class students lying in a pool of blood. “But isn’t this a bit excessive?”

“No,” Zevien said before he put his hand over Vernisia’s shoulder. “We are new students and I heard that there are not many rules here. If senior students take advantage of this, then isn’t it unfair for weaker students? Can they do whatever they want as long as they don’t kill?”

“Of course not,” the middle-aged man shook his head, “sexual harassment is punishable. After all, self-respect and honor are as important as one’s life or even more. Fights are allowed, but not crimes. Whenever a fight breaks out or if you are in trouble, you can infuse mana into your badge. Even if you don’t, our Eye Tower can see everything on the island, and we can instantly know whenever a fight breaks out because of mana fluctuations resulting from the clash of two spells.”

“Well, they picked a fight with us, and this is the result; they are not dead, so it’s fine,” Zevien said with a plain smile as he took out his flying boat and sat down on it with Vernisia. “If there’s nothing more, then we shall leave.”

“Wait, what is your name?” the middle-aged man asked as he looked at Zevien.

“Zevien.”

“And you?” the middle-aged man looked at Vernisia.

“Vernisia,” Vernisia replied.

“If someone tried to harass you again, what would you do?” the middle-aged man asked with narrowed eyes.

“I will call Zevien, and the result will be the same as those three,” Vernisia replied with a smile.

“Yep,” Zevien nodded with a grin before moving the mini-boat and leaving.

The middle-aged man was speechless. He expected to hear that they would infuse mana in their badge and call enforcers. Shaking his head, he called medics with his Digi-watch to take these three students.

Afterward, he went to a medium-sized palace and went in a room where ten people were working on computers and holograms.

But he was surprised to see Headmaster Noril there and bowed towards him.

“What are you here for, Rishin?” Headmaster Noril asked the middle-aged man.

“I came here to know about a new student. His name is Zevien,” Rishin answered with a wry smile.

“Oh? Why?”

“He seems to be a bit abnormal,” Rishin said as he remembered Zevien’s aura. “Despite being a new student, he defeated three 4th class students. I sensed that his magic power was above 3000 before the fight finished.”

“Interesting,” Noril nodded before smiling. “But you don’t need to fret over it. There are many ways to boost one’s magic power, and he may have had a fortuitous encounter with something that got him his power. It’s not our role to pry upon that.”

“Understood,” Rishin nodded with an obedient expression.

Headmaster Noril nodded as he passed by Rishin and put his hand on the shoulder before saying, “nothing is more important than breaking past the first boundary and becoming a True Magician in the path of magic. Anything below 1st class rank is worthless. You are just a short step away from breaking past that boundary and becoming a True Magician.”

“Yes, headmaster. I will go to Astral Land soon since I will be ready to step on the true magic path after a few days,” Rishin said.

“Mmm, focus on that,” Headmaster Noril nodded before leaving.

…

“Alright, the mountain structure for the Gaia continent is finally ready,” Baishen said as a miniature mountain hovered over his palm.

“Tsk, when will those bastards take a rest? We wasted a lot of time cause of them. Otherwise, the people of Gaia continent would’ve gotten this spell early,” Euclion said with a pout.

“They will get now, so it’s fine,” Baishen said with a smile as he waved his other hand over the mountain, and it disappeared. “Anyway, we really need more people here. Let’s see how those unique people from Lunet’s experiment are doing.”

“You go. I will come after meeting my little friend,” Euclion said with a grin. “It’s been a while since I talked to him, and I also have to tell him he doesn’t need to enter that mountain as he and Vernisia are already spirit bound.”

“Alright,” Baishen nodded before he disappeared.

…

After Zevien and Vernisia returned to their abode, they were going to enter their magic labyrinth, but suddenly, a tremendous commotion occurred with mystical magic pulses passing through the atmosphere.

They quickly came out and were shocked to see a giant floating mountain in the sky, far away from their location.

“Yo, Zevien!”

Zevien suddenly heard a familiar voice that he hadn’t heard for a long time behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Euclion floating there while grinning.

Vernisia also turned around and was startled to see a little boy wearing pajamas floating in the air.

“You-” Zevien opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted.

“Let’s go on a ride,” Euclion grinned as he waved his hand, and a bubble appeared as it covered the three of them before they disappeared.

However, nobody noticed them as all of them had their face toward the silhouette of the floating mountain.
