Quietly following everyone out, once again Helen was staring intently into the distance looking for Dryads and Treants . "Stop trying to look for them Helen . . . . you know they only show themselves when they want to be seen . . . . . " Grace said pulling her away .
"I know . . . but I can still hope . . . " She said reluctantly getting pulled away .
"They are there . . . . . I've met one Dryad . . . her name was Messelise and a Treant called Tenderfoot . . . " I said to Helen .
"Really???!!!" she turned to me in surprise with a giant smile .
"Yeah they were super friendly and even gave me a gift . . . . . " I replied taking out my Treant wand from my bag .
Helen gasped in shock, causing grace to investigate the commotion . "Ohh wow . . . you got a Treant wand . . . " Grace said in shock and surprise .
Helen still in shock and awe, hesitantly reaching out her hands to touch it . "It's okay . . . you can hold it if you want . . . " I smiled handing it to her .
Still completely silent she accepted it carefully her hands quivering in excitement . As her hand held the end of the wand I felt an immense amount of energy channel through her side to my end of the wand . I instinctively let go as if it was a loaded gun ready to fire .
"Emilia . . . . why don't you use this wand? . . . it's certainly stronger than your current one . . " Helen asked mesmerized by it .
"I don't really know if I'm ready . . . " I hesitantly answered her .
"You have nothing to worry about, it really likes you . " She said passing it back to me with a giant smile .
"It talks to you? . . . " I asked . . . . in confusion .
"Kinda . . . it's hard to explain, it's more like a feeling then words . . . " Helen explained .
"Ahh I see . . " I replied .
"So we have couple hours to burn before Dinner . . . . . What you guys want to do? . . " Grace asked .
"Ohh Ohh had your pearl changed yet? . . . " Jay asked me suddenly remembering that I had one .
"Ohhh lemme check!" I replied in excitement surprised that I even forgot about it myself .
Everyone watched me as I reached into my robe pocket to pick it out . "Anyone want to guess what her affinity is? . . " Jay asked .
"No reaction!" Helen replied with confidence with a big smile and a wink at me .
"Nah I heard she punched a crater into a wall . . . either Fire or Earth . " Grace bet .
"Nah she's cool and caring I'd put my bets on Water or Divine . " Daisy answered .
"Hmmmmm . . . I'd say fire . . . . she was able to easily cast her first firebolt during the Wyvern attack at the city . " Jay bet .
"You guys tell me what it is!" I said closing my eyes and holding it in my hand showing them eager for their reply .
They all fell silent with no reply . . . making me feel uneasy . . . . . "Guys? . . . " I asked the silence making me feel extremely worried . . . . .
"Well . . . . . Maybe we just need to give it more time . . " I heard Jay say .
"Yeah . . . . some more time will do it . . . " Grace agreed .
Slowing opening one eye, dread and depression washed over me as it looked like it had no reaction . It looked exactly the same as when I received it . . . . . "Yeah . . . . I'm sure I just need more time . . . quickly stuffing it back into my pocket a little embarrassed .
Daisy noticing me looking a little saddened gave me a giant hug, "Nothing to worry about! You're awesome!" she said attempting to cheer me up .
"HAHAHHA not only if she a Rank F . . . . . She doesn't even have an affinity . . . you really are the lowest of the low!!!" The familiar dreaded voice laughed at me from the side .
Daisy recognising her voice, turned in anger as she drew her maul from her back and walked towards her with purpose and resolve . "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" she shouted at Calista .
"Little demon girl you better watch what you say or I'll send your kind back underground!" Calista warned her, her face looking serious . As two tall students walked in front of Calista . Calista pushed one of the boys forward issuing him to do something . "Step back . " he warned daisy with a firm voice but his hands were physically shaking .
"Step aside . " Daisy warned him still advancing the tattoos on her body began to illuminate a faint yellow glow .
The male student noticing Daisy's refusal to back down in a panic he pulled out his wand and whispered something sending a small bolt of lightning screaming towards Daisy striking her directly in her breast plate letting out a blinding flash .
Jay and I instinctively pulled out our wands ready for a fight . "You're goanna need stronger lackeys" Daisy shouted to Calista and with a sudden burst of speed dashed towards the student and with a large arcing swing slammed her maul at his exposed rib, his body warped with the impact letting out a huge wail of pain as his body was sent flying a meter or two to the side, without warning and remorse she went for the 2nd student .
Caught off guard he fell back trying to draw his wand . "Too slow!" Daisy shouted as she was in the process of slamming her maul down on his chest .
Out of nowhere a barrage of lights were sent flying from the side, several impaling Daisy all through her body, leaving her standing there with thick white rods protruding out from her body .
"Daisy!" I yelled to her worried for her safety, but she remains silent unresponsive holding her maul high in the air .
"What is going on here??!!!" a much older man shouted running towards us .
"Professor they provokingly attacked us!!!" Calista shouted back sounding and acting terrified with a very noticeable quiver in her voice .
"First years already breaking the most important rules of Atlantis??!!! The professor shouted as he arrived on the scene . Noticing the downed student writhing in pain he quickly went to attend to him .
"We are so screwed . . . . . " I heard Jay whisper . . .
"Is Daisy okay?? . . . " I whispered to him .
"Yeah that is just one of many binding spells . . . . it's just to restrain people . . . totally harmless . " Jay answered .
"Thank God . " I Whispered .
The professor stood up and with a wave of his wand the rods of light impaling Daisy lowly dissipated allowing her to move again . "Would someone care to explain what happened? . . . . . " the professor asked .
"She attacked us" Calista accused Daisy .
"SHE! Insulted my friend!!!" Daisy yelled back .
"Yeah she insulted Emilia first!" Jay joined in on the argument .
"Shut up!!!! You guys wanted to attack us the moment you saw us" the other student shouted .
"They are lying!" Helen and Grace both shouted joining the argument .
"How dare you accuse me of lying?" Calista shouted back acting shocked and innocent .
"Silence!" the professor shouted, magically silencing us .
"Calista and Douglas take your friend to the infirmary now!" the professor ordered .
Both acting innocently, nodded and went to help their friend and then popped the biggest shit eating grin and sneer the moment the professor wasn't watching .
"Helen and Grace Leave now!" he ordered both them .
Helen and Grace stood their ground "Your eagerness to defend and stick up for your friends is admirable but raising a weapon against a fellow students is grounds for expulsions so if you want to be added on the list be my guest . " He threatened them forcing them to begrudgingly leave .
"As for you three!" Detention all my office now!" He ordered us .
"But . . . . " We all tried to explain but we couldn't get out a word .
"Enough! Follow me . " the professor shouted and led the way into the main building the three of us quietly following him, all the students looking and gossiping about what could possibly have happened .
Entering the main building going up the maze of stairs we eventually arrived at his office, it was rather cramped room, seemingly a bit large but filled with many many trinkets books and things, in the centre laid a large wooden table and draped over it a table cloth with what seemed to be a red winged bird at the centre, with one large chair on one side and four smaller chairs on the other .
"Please take a seat . . . . " He said to use taking his seat at the other side of the table . . . . . . . . . . "Now it's a lot quieter please explain the situation . " The professor asked .
We both looked at Jay wanting him to explain the story . . . . "Well . . . . we just came out of Class not too long ago and was talking about how to spend the evening when, Calista overheard us and began berating Emilia for no real reason . Then she insulted Daisy calling her little Demon girl making her take matters into her own hands and teach her a lesson . " Jay explained .
"Hmmm . . . . " The professor nodded in understanding and began thinking . . . . . . . . . "Hmmmm . . . . . well if anyone asks say I have given you Midnight patrols as punishments but please don't raise a weapon on another student outside of duels there's a proper process to knock people down a peg or two . " He said with a smile on his face .
