Mage Kings Rise

The g**g up

Bela

I never expected anybody to sit next to me of their own free accord but now an entire group had chosen to sit next to me. They were my classmates and it was a group composed of both nobles and commoners. I would have thought I was dreaming if not for the fact that I could tell what their intentions were.

"We’re sorry for what had happened to you yesterday." Elrick the leader of the class noble said.

"I wish we would have known, we would have come to help you," Aisha said and this was the last straw for me.

They had all seen what had been happening to me and yet they all ignored it. Elrick was most likely the one who had ordered it and now was seated next to me. If it wasn't for Aldin I would still be getting bullied by these very people.

'You think that being nice to me now will change what happened to me.'

"You have no tact," I said to them loudly. "Get away from me."

"Is there anything wrong?" A voice from me said. It was Natalie. The second-best first year.

"Nothing is wrong here." Aisha rushed to say.

"I wasn't asking you," Natalie answered Aisha. "I was talking to Bela so shut that trap of yours."

Aisha went beet red at those words.

And looking at me, "Would you mind eating with us?" She asked with a warm smile on her face.

Tired of staying close to my other classmates, "No I wouldn't." I said picking up my tray and leaving with her.

Aldin and some other students were there as well.

"Bela, is everything alright?"Aldin asked with a smile.

"Yes," I answered

As we ate I could vividly see the gloomy Aldin that took down giants chatting with everyone like any normal student would.

"Is this how Aldin is?" I asked Natalie in a whisper. Every time we saw Aldin he was stone faced but now I could see him smile.

"Yes, he is. Although he portrays himself as emotionless, he's a pretty nice guy if you get to know him." She answered.

We parted ways after breakfast but I was summoned by the principal shortly after.

"Welcome Bela, have a seat." He said when I got in.

"I apologise for what happened to you last night."

"Thank you for your concern Principal,” I said.

"And we would like to prevent that from ever happening again and because of that Professor Bloom made a little something for you." He said.

From his desk, he took out a small box and handed it over. In it was a small ring with a small blue crystal on its sides.

"This is a magical item that will help you in the time of need and all you need to do is pour in some mana to activate it."

"Thank you for your concern," I said as I left the office.

'I can't wait for them to try something now.' I thought to myself..

The night prior after handing off the two students to the guards Professor Bloom had headed off to the principal's office and narrated to him what had happened.

The assaulters were placed in the dungeon awaiting their judgment.

"The most shocking thing is that Aldin seemed furious about it. The fourth year was beaten to a pulp and that's not how he usually takes down his opponents." Professor Bloom said.

'I might have something to do with that.' The professor thought to himself but he was quite far from the truth than he thought. Aldin had beaten up the boy that way because it reminded him of his past encounter with Luke who had almost killed him and the anger from that day had been pent up in him was now released on the student.

"You have a point." The principal said.

Fast forward to the following day in the evening in one of the rooms, a large explosion had occurred in one of the dorms and moments later Professor Bloom could be seen walking on with guards behind her.

Bela

After leaving the library I met Aldin there after picking the books I wanted to read I sat next to him. I was expecting him to be going through some gigantic book about magic but he seemed to be reading a novel instead but after a certain point stood up and left and from the looks of it he seemed agitated. After reading all I had come to I decided to head back to get some rest before dinner.

After the great humiliation Aisha had been caused by Natalie, anger bubbled in her.

"How dare those ignorant fools ignore me, they should be grovelling at me feet," Aisha complained to her minions. "Ask somebody to tie her in and beat her but do it discretely. Even if she was saved once, that was just dumb luck. It won't be so lucky this time." She said and kicked them out of her room.

Shortly after the minions met up with some members of the griffin dorm.

"She wants you to beat her up nicely because but discretely, she doesn't want the professor to get news of any of this." One of them said.

"She won't know what hit her." She said and the minions left.

"I can't believe they would stab each other just for some recognition, these fools are so easy to manipulate, no wonder they are all being used like trash , I will never get used to seeing them do this to each other," One of the minions said as the were headed back to their dorm.

The group that had been asked to take care of Bela followed her as she went into the dorm. As she was getting into her room they forced themselves in before she could close the door behind her self.

They were just about to grab her when a strong force pushed them back an they hit the wall. And the windows to break outwards with a loud explosion. When professor Bloom walked in she could see Bela encased in a blue orb and three bodies on one side of the room.

Looking at them Penelope Bloom laughed out loud.

"I can't believe they had to do it the next day." She said.
