Knight of Light: Goblins awakening

Chapter 4: The new elite squad

I woke up. I still had the taste of blood in my mouth but it wasn't as bad as before. My leg and torso were wrapped in thick plaster. I looked at Jade, she was okay apart from getting knocked unconscious. Next to Jade was Justin. He had a black burn mark shaped like an illusion swirl on his hand. On his face were burn marks that looked like cuts that circled his face.

Junior was in a cat shape. He didn't seem hurt at all.

'Man, that hurt,' I said

'Agreed,' Jaden said.

'Glad to see you awake,' Mr Robert said. He brushed through his blond beard with his big hand.

'Hey, principal?' Justin asked

'Yes, Justin,' he replied

'Why do I have these dark markings on my hand and face?' Justin asked.

'The monster gave you those markings to kill you but it turns out your body adjusted to the dark mark and fortunately, you have received dark magic which makes you a mage,' he explained.

'So he's a crossbred goblin human now,' I asked.

'Exactly,' Mr Robert said. After we finished speaking, one of the new nurse mages walked in and healed us and removed my plasters.

'Thank you,' Jaden, Justin and me said. Junior was still in cat form snoozing.

'Now that you've healed up, go change your armour to this," Mr Robert told us. He held up three bronze armour outfits with masks attached to them. We went downstairs and changed our outfits. When we went out of the changing rooms, Harry went to us.

'Hey, amateurs,' Harry said. He started chuckling.

'What do you want?' Justin asked with a tone of irritation. This was rare, Justin never gets irritated that quick.

'Nice burn marks amateur three,' Harry said again. This time he chuckled more.

Justin held his neck then smashed him into the nearest wall. Justin's dark marks started to shine green. Harry started to frown. Then started to show that he was in pain.

'Let him go, dude,' Jaden said. Justin let Harry go.

'YOU MONST-,' Harry tried to say

'Leave,' Justin firmly said. He ran away.

I pretended that didn't happen. I put up my mask as Jade did in the changing room and then we sprinted upstairs into the infirmary.

'You look nice,' Mr Robert said 'You are now Squad Robert,'

'Nice,' all three of us said.
