"What do you mean of knocking them off? It's hard to do that, Mira! They will stand up and attack us again! These orcs are under the spell. They like a dead supernatural walking!" Freddy said before releasing the arrow that pierced the creature's chest. The thick vines grow from the arrow and restrain the raging creature. It lets out the roar, resulting in half of its pack attacking Mira and her friends with wilderness.
"See?!" Freddy shoots the arrow and kicked another orc on its face. Mattheo dodges the battle-ax coming in his direction then tackles the sword that supposedly hit his shoulder. His eyes flashed into threatening yellow after another orc held both of his arms. His sword fell into the ground and turned into a moth again. Afoot landed on the orc's knees before the shifter hoped and used the orc's body in front of him as a path then used the dagger in his pocket to knock the orc on its knees.
"Just help me! Do what I said!" Mira yelled while clashing with the three orcs and Ellistal is defending her from behind, "They have a great number." Mira nodded at Ellistal as a sign that she understands what he says. She started to run in his direction and Ellistal lowers himself. Her hand landed on his shoulder before she hopped, successfully changing their position and opponent.
Mira shoots the arrow on the three orcs that pierce on their knees and feet. Another explosion disturbed the whole place but this time it comes from the forest behind the dorm of the vampires.
Kellion looked down at the orcs with disgust as they shoot him down. Another net flew in his direction and it got followed by another one it got ricochet when he glides towards them.
"What is this?!" He asked annoyance before throwing the rope with metal balls on the group of orcs on his left.
"I don't know either!" Julius replied while holding his sword in his hands tightly. The harpy looked at him in disgust.
"You despised everyone like Salem," That adds the fuel to the fire. Kellion glared at Julius before kicking the log in the orcs' direction. Julius wounded his thumb and wiped the blood on his sword. The sword whirled as it turns into a whip.
Kellion raised his brow.
"I don't care who you are. Don't bring that girl's name here." Julius finds it more entertaining seeing how the harpy reacts after he mentioned her name, "That girl is the one you don't want to mess with. By the way, I missed talking to you."
"And? Who cares? Are you satisfied with that vampire?" Julius furrowed his brows before holding the hollow of his cheeks to make the harpy looked upon him. Kellion meet his crimson-colored piercing eyes in shock yet it doesn't last long when he snapped and his expression turned bitter.
"Oh well, long time no talk like this. Are you still mad? Your sister almost killed me."
"Then that's good news. Salem making things good nicely and are you that desperate? What a shame then so what if we're siblings? Do you have any problems with that vampire?" Kellion said then removed the vampire's hand from his cheeks before using his left foot on taking the bow and arrow on the ground by shoving it. The harpy shoots the orc on its shoulder to prevent it from throwing a net on them.
"If you want to settle your mess, don't expect that I'm cooperating on your idea, Mister," Kellion smirked then flew towards Mira's direction but the peace he got without Julius doesn't last long when the vampire used his superhuman speed and went to the floor where they are.
"Hey, brats!" Kellion called their attention from the window. Mira and the two males exchanged looks, not expecting that he'll approach them. That expression is not new anymore for him, Kellion rolled his eyes in annoyance then open the window and enters the hallway.
"I'm not a brat!" Freddy defended himself.
"Yes, you are. I'm not surprised anymore if Salem kicked one of you from the roof and pulled that elf brat's leg." He deadpans.
"You and your attitude again." Julius earned a glare.
"Why don't you shut up b*stard?" Freddy whistled after that clap back.
"Show what you have since their eyes are on us." He said. Mira looked at him before nodding, knowing what he meant.
"Where are the others?" Mira asked.
"Only the seven of us," Salem replied as she jumps inside before Zachary followed her inside.
"Where did the both of you go?" Julius asked.
"I accidentally create a mess on my room that's it explodes. I picked Salem on her dorm." Zachary smiled.
"What are those?" Mira asked again.
"Orcs that Lady Marionette creates. Those are just clay puppets. But they are far more dangerous than ordinary orcs." Kellion removed the face armor from the orc's head and scanned it.
"Lady Marionette's magic." Mira glanced at the orc before Zachary, "Am I right?"
"How did you know?"
"It's just my mere judgment without anything to get based." She shrugged, "It's also obvious to her name. I can say that she's really strong."
"But not close to me or Salem."
Meanwhile,
Jairus groaned in pain after he woke up. Marionette sit on another couch and crossed her legs. She snapped her fingers and a book appears in the mid-air then slammed on Jairus' lap.
"Read that. I only show you about Mira on my memory since it's very dangerous to spill it verbally. However, the remaining students who count the dorm leaders are listed there. I'm also pre-occupied since I'm testing if they can join Lutheran." She explains. Even still in pain, Jairus opens the first page. The wind blows and carries away the sands from the first page makes Jairus glanced at the blank page then at the lady in utter confusion. He looks at the page that surprisingly now has contents. It’s all written by the delicate hands using the rarest and expensive ink.

Gender: Male
Classification: Alpha shifter
Skills: Unknown

After reading the last part, Jairus led into disappointment knowing the last part where every teacher will know what they can do is still unknown. Yet, he knows these students become Marionette's apple on an eye without any reason.
