Chapter 3

why ...? "Zoey asked incredulously

"Because I know." it gently says, "Now, can we make this friendly duel more exciting?" and she gripped her weapon tightly.

A pair of wooden arnis stick.

"Don't insult me, Nicolette!" one shout at once rushed at Niknik.

While running, one by one its body was covered with ice and in both hands there was a sword made of ice. But I was amazed when the princess blocked it using her weapon causing her to retreat slightly. Zoey smirked and she jumped backward and while in the air, the sword she was using disappeared and she raised both of her hands, it started to snow, louder and louder and even we who were outside were almost carried away.

When I realized what it wanted to do, my eyes widened. Don't tell me .... damn!

The flying snow slowly goes behind it that made a huge amount of snow. And with a wave of his hand, it all overflowed resulting for an avalanche.

I immediately turned my gaze to Niknik, her smile was still there but I could see in her eyes the determination to overcome that. I clinched my fists and prayed that he would win. But win lose, I'm so proud of you, Niknik!

She crossed her weapon and was ready to greet the furious avalanche, and I suddenly stood up when she didn't blink when she greeted it.

I'm looking at mom, I really don't get it, in a situation like this how–

"You lose ..."

At the voice I heard, I quickly turned my gaze forward. And there! Behind Zoey is Niknik, where ...?

"If I am using a real blade, you should be bleeding really hard right now."

Zoey looked at Niknik in disbelief while holding her wounded arm.

"The winner is Miss Luxamber!" our teacher just woke up in shock.

Upon hearing it, my classmates complained. But she, madly just sat next to us and Zoey was left in the middle.

"Miss, that was cheating !!" shout one of them.

"Right!"

That was followed by another ... and another ... another until the four of us just didn't move.

"Princess, what happened?"

He looked at me and raised his index finger, "Proper concentration, that's all I need and one more thing, Zoey was destructed and clouded by jealousy so it was easy for me."

I'm just dumbfounded at the explanation of it, no matter what I do, I don't really get it.

My attention, as well as that of my classmates who were still moaning, went to Headmistress G when she suddenly stood up.

"Since Ms. Luxamber doesn't want to explain what just happened, I think, I should demonstrate it to you all." and she walked in front of us all.

"Have you heard of a technique called 'Vanish'?" he continued

Vanish? Don't tell me ...

"A technique that suits best a mahou holder who is in defensive form and battling against an offensive opponent. In order to master this technique, you should have massive concentration and massive amount of energy. And in order to have those two, you should be gone in countless battles or training. Vanish is a decisive technique and it was made easier since Ms. Chardon was distracted. "

He bowed down to what he was referring to.

"First is concentrate and collect your energy throughout your body .." while mom is talking, she is doing the same, "..if you collected enough energy, release it, and that released energy can be your other self. In other words, you are duplicating yourself using energy. " and slowly another came out of its own.

I was silenced by what mom said,

"But in Miss Luxamber's case, she used both of her mahou and vanish. Is everything clear to everyone?"

"Y-yes, headmistress" they said and averted their gaze.

But after my mom left, almost all of Zoey’s alipores looked badly at Niknik. I was about to moan when he held my hand and then he shook.

"Don't"

"They need to stop, princess"

"Cy, you should stop calling me that. My name is Nicolette Luxamber"

"Prin– Fine! Niknik"

He just smiled at me, the smile was too wide. My little innocent princess.

He was about to hug me when suddenly there was a fire between us, he stretched his snout and turned his gaze to the man who did that.

"Jarred !! It's you again !!" he shouted so I just laughed.

But the madman just turned around and left.

'What are you going to do now, Jarred?'

"Zoey, are you leaving?" I asked my roommate.

Yes, Zoey is my roommate. We're not crazy anymore.

"Don't think of yourself so highly, Nicolette. I'll defeat you next time" and he left forever.

I was just left sighing. Next I went out and smiled at what I had reached, the three of them were already there waiting.

"Niknik! You're late!" maktol ni Cy-cy

"Niiiikniiiiiiiiiiiik !!" Tyler shouted and then defeated me but before he could get close to me, Brother Xander's fist stopped him.

From my side, took me on his shoulders followed by Tyler on the other side.

"Why don't you just look for your girlfriends, and when you've stopped and I'm living a comfortable life here at the academy?"

"Niknik, we are good looking, we don't need to find girlfriends, they lined up and with a single wink and killer smile, I can instantly have them" Tyler winked at the two women who passed by, almost shivering with excitement .

"You know what Ty, your mahou really suits you!" I complained that I entered the room first.

"Niknik, eh me?" shout another idiot.

"No! You're an old man !!" back I shout that became a bunch of temptation from the two.

When I finally sat on my designated chair, I just looked down dejectedly. From where I was, I could clearly see the magical garden that was shining because of the pixie dust from the garden gnomes and fairies who took care of it.

While staring at it, the longer it lasts, the more you are drawn closer and closer to that garden. It's like you're drowning that whatever you go up you can't do not when he suddenly appeared.

"What– Jarred? Did you go there?"

"It was fun, and seeing your face with that expression, booom, priceless." and he smirked.

Because I was on the side of the window that he had unfortunately made the door, I had the opportunity to stare at its face closely.

"You're handsome, aren't you Jarred?" I said, almost a whisper, besides I was staring at his face with pride "Your face is innocent, the type that can't make a fuss, your green eyes are a nice look. What's in the hoodie and you always wear it even when the celebrity is vibrating of the day? "

The madman, immediately looked away. I even wondered why. And his ear is already red.

And the guy who was about to open my mouth again when suddenly my face caught fire, I got away from him.

"Jarred !!" I choked after I extinguished the fire he used on my hair, again.

"Tsk!" he just said and jumped up and went to his own seat that was just behind me. He was next to me in case he was choosy and I didn't want to be next to him, he said, he was just there in the back.

Psh! Stuck again!

To my annoyance, I just looked down and looked outside. But I'm not really upset. Ihhhhh?

I turned my chair in front of him. He bent down again and looked like he was going to sleep again. I poked, but nothing really.

"Woooy .... Jarred! Pssst! Hooy! Are you mad? I'm sorry! Did I do that to you?"

But still nothing. I was so pissed, I took my bag and hit him.

"What–! H-hey! Why are you crying?"

I said, "It's you !!!"

He sighed and twisted my cheek, "Don't cry, you're even uglier. Tsk!" that's all and he slept again.

If the three tukmols are what you are looking for, the headmistress called, it looks like they will be given a mission.

From time to time, the mission is given to students based on their mahou and capacities. But it still depends on you if you accept or not. But the strange thing is, why was this one left out? Psh! That's it, he's alive.

"Good Morning, class!" buti ni ma'am history. Mrs. Brooklyn is our history teacher, she has a mahou to remember everything with a single glance. In short, photographic memory.

"Good morning, Mrs. Brooklyn." we greet.

Mrs. just smiled. Brooklyn, he knows that almost everyone will be sleepy again. I also don't like our teacher sometimes, so what should you be happy about if you know that your student in your class is sleepy? Labo eh!

"To start our formal lesson, I have a question for all of you. What do you think is the strongest mahou?" si ma'am.

Upon hearing her question, my heart skipped a bit. I was feeling the smallness of the classroom and all my classmates were staring at me.

"Ma'am, is that still being asked? Of course! Jarred's fire!" one of my classmates was the one they all followed.

N-no! No !! There is more .. there is more!

Images started to flash in my head, a memory of the past that I've been trying to forget. Why do they need to ...

"Ssshhh, relax." I heard Jarred whisper and he held my shaking hand. Tumabi na he to me.

"Jarred, I'm ... s-scared." I whispered.

"Do you want to take a rest? Clinic will do." he who tightened his grip on my hand.

"N-no. I'll stay just ... just stay behind me."

He didn't say a word and just hugged me and put his jacket on me. I clinched my teeth and closed my eyes tightly.

"Fire mahou isn't the answer." raining kong sabi ni ma'am.

Of course, that's not it. I know, I know I know.

"If not that, eh what ma'am? Water? Wind? Land?"

"Neither"

With what he said, that's where my classmates got the attention. Because of my empathy, I can feel the feelings of my classmates.

But being in his arms, it feels like I am secured and there's nothing to be afraid of. Weird. So I squeezed myself even harder on him, the tightness I feel, is slowly decreasing.

"Death. That's the mahou and the reality that we are all afraid of." and Mrs. Brooklyn, "A myth about that mahou started thousand years ago and most of the historians believed that the powerful mahou holder have that kind of mahou. Some believed that she's a goddess, some thought that she's evil to have that kind of mahou."
