"What's this? . . " I asked everyone as the spell finished itself, forming into an envelope .
"No idea . . . . " they all replied picking it up .
"Interesting . . . . " Jay said opening it .
"It seems as if we've been challenged . " Helen said reading the letter inside .
"What?!" I said in shock opening the letter reading through it . 'Emilia Patel - Current Rank:N/A you have been Challenged by Princess Calista - Rank: N/A, Term 1- 2nd Fredas - Position 10 . Good Luck . ' My hands dropped on the table as I kept reading it over and over as an immense sinking feeling filled every part of my soul, 'of course the first chance she gets she will challenge me . . . . '
"Ohhhh crap . . . . . We've all been Challened? . . . " Jay said in shock after reading his .
"Why the hell are we challenged, being unranked does nothing to their standing . . . . " Helen said in disbelief .
"Someone's gonna get destroyed!" Daisy squealed in excitement holding the paper close to her face reading it carefully .
"This must be some sort of mistake or error? . . Who did you guys get challenged by?" Grace asked also reading her letter in disbelief .
"No idea . . . . some C ranked Student . " Daisy answered unfazed by her challenger or rank .
"A girl called Lanah Stiz a D ranked student . " Jay answered .
"A guy D ranked student named Basam Possul . . . . . " Helen replied .
"Well I've got an unranked student who goes but the name Min Xai . . . . . " Grace replied .
"How about you? . . . Emilia" Jay asked sounding extremely worried at my unresponsive silence .
" . . . . . Calista . . . " I answered, causing Jay and Daisy to lean over taking a read of my letter .
"That bitch . . . . . I swear I'm gonna get her back!" Daisy cursed .
"So this kinda makes sense now… . !" Jay said leaning back thinking .
"Well . . . there goes the idea of trying to lay low . . . I just don't understand why she has such a vendetta with me . . . . " I replied the feeling of hopelessness just swallowing me whole .
"Yeah . . . . I think she has a vendetta with everyone . . . . there is literally no reason to challenge unranked students . . . " Helen said .
"Who gives a damn . . . . we're gonna serve their asses on a platter . . . . . They're gonna get destroyed, every one of them and WE'RE GONNA MAKE THEM regret challenging us!" Daisy yelled angrily causing quit the commotion causing many students to look in our direction .
"Yup firstly we need to research who we are up against . . . and devise the best way to defeat them . " Jay strategized learning forward speaking quietly .
"Yeah but how do we go about doing that? . . . . " Helen asked .
"No idea . . . maybe ask around . . . this should defiantly be our first step . " Jay suggested .
"Then we need to train and focus honing our abilities to best defeat them . " Jay explained .
"Sounds like a good idea . " Grace said .
"So it will be more difficult to gain information on Calista and Graces opponent being unranked students, but everyone else there must be some information out there . " Jay summarized .
"I'm sure I can handle my opponent!" Daisy said full of confidence, "Don't worry Emilia! we are gonna be okay!" Daisy tried to reassure me .
"I'm so sorry guys . . . This is all probably because of me . . . if you wasn't my friends you defiantly wouldn't have been challenged . . . . " I apologized to everyone my eyes welling up with tears, blaming only myself .
"Emilia it's not your fault! You can't blame yourself . " Helen replied .
"Yup . . . . Calista is just a bitch! And we're gonna show her we aren't no push overs" Grace cursed her .
"Yeah! There's nothing to worry about!!" Helen added trying to reassure me .
Angrily I scrumpled up the paper tossing it over shoulder, causing one of the patrolling robots to stop, turning to look at me and back at the paper and proceeded to pick it off the floor for me and placing it beside me on the table before going back to walking around the dining hall . Frustrated I began thumping it crushing it flat under my balled fist .
"It's gonna be okay!" Jay tried to reassure me .
"Is it okay if I take a walk and clear my head ?? . . . . " I asked .
"Sure let's go!" Daisy replied with a giant smile oblivious of my intensions to be alone for a little while, causing everyone to cough and swivelling their head side to side .
"What?? . . . " she said looking at them confused . Still swivelling their head Jay motioned with his hand for her to sit down .
"It's okay Emilia take your time . . . . . Come meet us back at our room when you're done" Helen smiled smiled .
"Thanks guys . " I replied waving goodbye and making my way out the Dining hall to clear my head .
Starring up into the starry sky, I wondered what space and the universe was like in this world . . . or were we on a distant planet far far away from earth?? . . . . . What other planets are there in the solar system ? . . . .
In the distance Scarlets striking red hair still visible in the darkened school wearing her full set of armour with a bright smile, "Yeah I'm okay . . . . This is all just abit overwhelming . . . . " I replied to her .
"I get it . . . . " she replied with a small frown, looking unsure if she should closer to comfort me or stay far enough back not to scare me .
" . . . . you do? . . . . " I replied my voice still a little cracked and wiping away the tears with my sleeve .
Gesturing me to come and follow she began walking to the Dorm building, "of course . . . . when Paul first took me back form where you and him was from it was crazy overwhelming!!! . " she answered with a giant smil .
"… . . It was?? . . . " I replied in total shock… . Unable to even fathom how she would be overwhelmed . 1
"Of course everything was so different!!!! And it was so hard to act 'normal'!!" she replied doing air quotations for normal making me laugh a little at her response . "It's true!!!! like how I need to wait for the green man to appear before I'm allowed to cross the pathway where only the small metal boxes carrying people are allowed to go in! I don't get why I should wait for them!" she added noticing my small laugh . "and and you know what's worse??!!! I can't beat up idiotic people! And I need to walk SO SLOWLY!!! And DO THINGS SO SLOWLY!" she said in a sarcastic voice obviously annoyed a little .
"Thanks I needed that . . . . " I thanked her for making me feel a little better .
"Nothing . . . . . so what brings you out here ?? . . . " I asked .
"Nothing special, after dinner there's not much to do . . . . " she said with a pout .
"What's the daily life as an S ranked student anyways . . . " I asked feeling curious .
"hmmmm . . . nothing special . . . . help teaching . . . responding to things . . . . . Training and fighting, that I enjoy the most and ohhhh on occasions some bounties and missions . . . " she answered .
"Ohhh my God I heard about the sorry when you saved Daisy!" I replied to her in shock and excitement .
"Daisy?? . . . . " she asked looking confused not knowing who she is .
"Yeah my friend with the blue skin and horns with golden tattoos . . . . she told me you Ashley and Paul saved her from a cult . " I reminded her .
"Ohhh yeah I remember now . . . but she had black tattoos when we first met her . . . " she said with a smile looking a little puzzled .
"They told me you're immune to spells and you can even cut spells with your sword!!! How is that possible???!!" I asked in excitement eager to find out the truth from her .
"Yes my armour protects me from spells . . . . similar to my sword it was forged with meteorite and dragon fire and enchanted with ancient magical enchantments . " she explained .
"How did you get such awesome armour??? Can I get one??" I asked in the hopes I might get something to help me versus Calista .
"No I'm afraid not sorry… . . . Dragons are extinct and so is the ancient magical enchantments placed on my weapon and armour . " she answered me apologizing .
"Is it true you can't use magic??? . . . Everyone told me you cant . . . . but I remember you doing scorch ray when we first met . . . " I carried on questioning her .
"I generally hide my ability to cast spells . . . . because Paul told me I should always have a secret weapon . . . . so I don't let anyone know that I'm also very proficient at spell casting . " she answered .
"Ohhh I see . . . . . " nodding in understanding, "what about Ashley??? . . . . . What does he specialise in? . . . . he doesn't seem to use magic . . " I asked feeling curious .
"He's an artificer . . . . unique individuals that's merge technology and Arcanum together . We have quite alot in school but Ashley is defiantly the smartest out of all of them . " she explained .
"I see . . . . did he make all the robots that roam the Dining hall?? . . . " I asked .
"Nope those are extremely basic his golems are far more superior to ordinary ones . " She smiled . "But generally on ops Ashley tends to prefer being support instead of getting his hands dirty, so it's rare to see him in action . " She explained .
"How did you and Paul become friends? . . . . " I asked .
"He saved me from a very dark path . . . " her reply faded into silence starring up into the night sky . " Anyways, I came here because Paul said he needed you for something . . . . " she said after a small pause of silence .
"Really? . . Why would he need me? . . " I asked in total surprise .
"No idea . . . he wouldn't tell us either . . " Scarlet replied shrugging her shoulders showing no ounce of suspicion or intrigue . "But he was thinking of ways to solve your issue back home . " She added after a little bit of thinking .
"REALLY?!!" I replied in complete disbelief almost jumping in glee and excitement totally forgetting about my upcoming dilemma next week… .
