Returner's Revenge

Flora's Fury

After the end of Edmond’s match, the people that are calling him names fell silent after he unleash a spell that would counter almost all of the spells that all the students can use. [If it was the old me then I would probably be defeated as well, but the Anti-magic spell is just another spell that cancels out other spells. It has a limit that only a veteran or someone who had faced it and survived. The anti-magic spell is just as strong as it’s user, it will only be effective to those who are on the same level or lower spells but not on a higher level.]

Kris thought to himself as Edmond stares at him like saying that he is ready to face Kris whenever their names are called by the teacher. “The winner is Edmond from the lower class! It looks like the low class are dominating the arena. Will the high classes redeem themselves?” the teacher that is in charge of the matches have seen enough, he wants the high class students to make a stand after seeing so many high class students getting beaten by the low class students that did not even have the best teachers.

               [If this continues, the nobles will misunderstand what is happening they will think that we are incompetent in our classes and it will reflect upon the academy and the headmaster that is overseeing everything that is being taught in the academy. The image of the entire academy as a whole will be tarnished in their eyes.] the teacher thought to himself as he turns to the headmaster who nods at what he said. He then announce the next contestants for the next match.

               “Flora from a high class please proceed to the platform.” He calls out Flora who gloomily walks out o her class, oozing with negative energies while wearing her fancy clothes. “James- James! Will her opponent be alright? She doesn’t look like she is in the right mind!” Ophir grab James’ back to ask him about Flora but the latter doesn’t have an idea about it either and just shrug his shoulders. “I don’t know. Will her opponent survive? I don’t know. Will she overdo it by miles? That’s for certain. I think that will likely happen. We have seen her angry for too many times now. It would be utter foolish to even think of the possibilities of what could happen when she is in that state don’t you agree?”

Ophir just stare at him blankly and then realize that Ophir went back to his usual self. [I’m an i***t for even thinking that you would catch all of that.] he thinks to himself and at the same time he hides his face under his palm. “Flora is facing another high class student. Will she be alright?” Johannes ask the two who immediately turns to the arena and were surprised to see  face that they have not seen in a a long time. “Oh- look at that. When was the last time we saw that face?” James asked with a nervous tone while the sight of her opponent made Ophir swallow his spit.

“Oh- that guy is surely dead. Is the spell that the teacher use to select the contestants playing with us? That guy is someone that made fun of Flora for almost her entire life. He’s in big trouble.” Ophir mutters when the fear of the two finally reach Johannes. “I guess we’ll have to see then.” He said with a very nervous tone.

“Nice dress you got there Flora, I have not seen you in a while. Did you miss me?” her opponent said with a charming smile but Flora did not react and just continue to stare at him which made him a little uncomfortable. “Hey, Flora. You are looking at me like a creep. Speak a few words, are you a zombie?” he added after not responding to his words.  “You can both start whenever you are ready.” The teacher then walks out of the platform after saying that and the two continues to stare at each other, with the man being afraid of her as time pass by.

With her prolong idling, her opponent decided to attack first. “If you are not going to attack then I will attack first.” Magic circles starts to appear around him as the air slowly pushes her away but Flora did not still react. Seeing that, he continues to unleash his spell completely. “Wind bullet.” A spherical wind fly towards Flora who is still idle even after all that. [What is she doing? Why is she remaining idle?] he thought to himself. [well, I guess that is beneficial for me. Thanks Flora, I will use this opportunity well.] he adds with a smile but then the hair on his entire arm stood like needles as he felt chills running on his entire arm.

He moved his eyes and saw that his spell stopped just in front of Flora and made it seem like it was stopped by an unknown force but in reality, Flora’s gravity spell is hindering the wind form moving forward. “Did you forget my base? Looks like I made you thought that you can defeat me when you are a few year too early. I’m sorry about that.” She mutters with a cold tone.

He unleash another spell in panic but none of them were able to be deployed because of the same reason. “Wow- I have never seen a gravity spell that can stop another spell just like that. It doesn’t even look like she put her everything into it.” One of the heroes said with an interested tone after seeing Flora’s spell. “She is one of them. Her mana is on another level. I’m afraid that young man is going to be defeated.” The female hero says with certainty. “If you say so.”

“Do you know how irritated I was when you pester me like what you did in the past? I really want to bash your head in you know? But I can’t because I have to show my feminine side all the time I almost forgot all of that anger and moved on, but right after seeing your face, the memories came flushing back in, the wanting to beat you up pretty good came back. And now that I got the chance, I will not let this slip.” She said with a cold one while holding out her fist.

“Hey Flora, you of all people know that I was just playing around right? Hey come one!” her opponent pleads while trying to walk back but then even his feet are restricted to move an inch away from her. “GULP!” Flora looks don on him as his figure shrink under her authority. Their match ends up being a bully finally getting back what he did in the past which made everyone excited of what is about to happen next.

“That’s called bullying, I think she is stepping out of line.” Kris said with an uninterested tone. “Yeah- no matter how I look at it, that guys is about to piss himself. Though he is still fortunate enough to face Flora, if it was Luna. I don’t think it will end well for him. I heard that that certain student is quite the playboy and have made other female students cry by breaking their heart and toying with them.” Richard says with calm tone but felt pity for Flora’s opponent.

“You are all making me look bad with those words.” Luna protests after hearing enough of it. But her protest is not taken seriously as the boys stare at her blankly and unconvinced. “You are Luna- you are dangerous. He was indeed fortunate enough to have matched with Flora, not that he had it easy but I guess its better to be beaten up and get to keep his ‘balls’ than getting beaten up and losing his ‘balls’ as well.”

Richard and Jhonas nod their head at first, agreeing to what Kris just said in certainty but when they saw Luna slowly getting beat red and teary eyes, they felt guilty. “I guess you went over the top there Kris.” Jhonas told Kris after seeing her reaction. “Yeah- Luna is still a girl and she has feelings too.” Richard added. While the two state their guilt by trying to defend Luna this time. Kris stares at them for their shamefulness.

“These traitors. They blatantly did that right in front of me. What a bunch of backstabbing bastard- front-stabbing rather.” He mutters to himself and turns to Luna and saw how she can be vulnerable as well. [Well, I guess you really are a girl after all.] he thought when all of the sudden his feet are unable to move when he is going to apologize to her. Kris looks down and saw that his legs are held down by ice. “you brat.”

Flora releases the restriction on her enemy and then tells him to take this seriously and that the spells that he used are subpar and are not even worth using in the match because it would only make them look bad as higher nobles of the society. “Use your best spells. I don’t want to go all out when you are not even trying your best.” Flora said with a stern tone with her opponent getting confused as she could have won if she just land him a single spell and incapacitate him immediately. “Are you sure to let me go just like that? I can still turn this around you know?” he said but Flora is determined to win that way. “Suit yourself.” He said as Flora backs away and returns to the place where she was standing a few minutes ago. ”Lets do this again.”

He immediately chants a spell right after she gave the signal. “Marionette.” Multiple shadow figures appear in the platform and attacks Flora from all directions while he is busy channeling his next spell. [My Marionette are mana creatures that I have made myself. It will take an expert in hand to hand combat at least a few minutes to defeat them but that will be more than enough for me to get my next spell ready.] he thought to himself with a smile but when then his eyes shot up when he saw his shadowy figure minions are getting stomped on the ground by Flora.

               “What in the world- how is she doing that graciously?” he mutters, getting him distracted for his next spell and cancels it altogether.

               BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! FWOOSH!

               “I was thinking that you might have a plan in using these laughing stock of a spell but it turns out these are nothing. Even my doppelganger can easily deal with them.” Flora said as she walks from behind her doppelganger. “A spell can only harm another spell. That goes for your shadowy figures if I use a doppelganger. They are essentially the same beings., the manifestation of our mana to bid our wills but its just that my doppelganger seem to be the superior one.” She added as her doppelganger disperse his shadowy figure with a single choke.

               “That’s quick thinking of her. Using a doppelganger to counter the enemy’s spell that is fundamentally the same to his spell. She is quite good.” Kris says with admiration for her as the ice slowly swallows him whole. “But before that, Luna. Can you please do something about this? My balls are actually getting cold. I’d get infertile if this goes on.” Kris said as Luna continues her ice to wrap around his body. “Sorry, I did not catch that. Did you say something?” she said while covering her ears. “Haha! Really funny. Now free me from this prison.” Luna still acts like a deaf and continues to enjoy the match.

               Flora beats her opponent after her doppelganger restrict his movements while she beats his face to a pulp and the match is called when he no longer moves. “I can fight graciously even with this clothes!” she yells after they grabs him away to the medical team. “Did she really have to scream like that?” Kris mutters with only his lips moving. “Luna! My balls! My balls are getting cold! I’m sorry now free me from this prison!” Kris pleaded for forgiveness. While Luna is enjoying tormenting him from the cold but unbeknownst to her, the system is controlling his temperature from the inside to keep him from dying from the cold.

               “And the next contestant is Kris from the low class, from Mr. Inrad’s class. Please step inside the platform.” The teacher said but Kris is not entirely covered in ice. “Kris Grindall, are you here? Please come inside the platform.” The teacher said but none responds to his call. Then when they are about to pick a new contestant, Richard calls out to the teacher. “Uhm! Sir! He is here, its just that he is currently- frozen in ice.” Jhonas slid Kris in front of their class for the teacher to see.

               Luna turns her head away when the teacher is asking for an answer as to what happened to him.
