Chapter 66 We're In Big Trouble



In G&M class, all students would converge to be taught on how they could use their gifts or magic as one unit when faced with a threat or called upon to the city due to attacks caused by rumics or raenzs.

This had proven to be of great help when it came to coordinating their powers.

Only those of upper rank classes were allowed to go on missions outside the academy, the lower ranks were obliged to participate in the one class all could be present at the same time, so they could have a foreknowledge about what they might be tasked to do once they had qualified to be in the upper rank.

Lumina, an upper rank gift user, had taken it upon herself to get to class extra early.

She flipped through the pages of her books absentmindedly, glancing through it\'s content without necessarily gaining any information off it.

"Ugh!" She groaned, placing her head down on it, her cheeks squished on the book. Her gaze was fixated on the empty seat to the far left of the third row.

"Are you okay?" Fae whispered, leaning to the side, tracing her line of sight to an empty chair.

\'Oh!\' Fae could already guess what seemed to have ruined her day.

\'Does this sound like I\'m okay?\' Her thoughts snapped.

Instead of going with her thoughts, Lumina rose her head, turning to her left. She gave a ruse smile, hoping it would work.

"That\'s so fake, please try again." Fae pointed out.

She realized that Fae was just concerned like any best friend would and an explanation was all she actually needed with that sort of question.

"It\'s because of him, isn\'t it?" She continued, hinting about the fact that she had not seen Nix go in the direction of their dorm the previous day.

But everyone in upper rank A had heard about Nix\'s little detour in lower rank B magic class. On the same day, she wondered why he had gone there.

Curious, she had been present when Ayanami spoke so highly of having first hand information about what had happened from one of the lower rank B, but she wouldn\'t say a word to the others.

\'How spiteful!\' She sneered at the memory. narrowing her eyes as she looked over at Ayanami who looked like she was concentrating on what their teacher was saying.

She had been hoping to bump into him, to know how he was after that incident, but he had always managed to dodge her radar.

Lumina\'s mouth gaped open, she had wanted to outrightly deny that fact, but the more she thought about it, the more it likely was true.

She had stayed up all night, waiting for him to get back so she could apologize for her uncaring attitude after the day at the infirmary.

This reminded her of her mother sitting at the door everyday. Waiting for her brother to get back, even washing and spreading his shirt outside on a daily basis.

Her actions had been driven by her hurtful past and she had mistakenly taken out that frustration on him. After several attempts at cross examining her thoughts, she had made it a goal to apologize to him.

But when he didn\'t return the previous night, her panic level began to rise. Several what if scenarios played in her head.

Slowly she nodded her head to Fae\'s suggestion.

"I knew it!" She nodded her head, "I told you not to mess with him, now look what you\'ve done. You drove him away." she hissed.

\'Drove away? What\'s going on in your head?\' She had a grimace on her face, hitting Fae on the head for thinking about such a ridiculous instance.

There was no way she could drive a blockhead like him away, all she cared about was why he didn\'t return the previous night.

"Ow!" Fae yelped, covering her hair with her hand. "You just ruined my perfect looks." She hissed.

"Oh! Please..." She rolled her eyes.

"Would you two care to tell the class what is so interesting that you wouldn\'t concentrate on the team\'s formation?" A tall woman, in her early thirties, called them out on their disturbance in a loud voice.

Dressed in a red and white plaid short sleeved shirt and black slacks, she wore glasses, and had long, curly orange hair, and a nose that was slightly turned up.

Standing behind the white acrylic lectern, she looked down at the two students with a stern look on her face, adjusting her glasses in the bridge of her nose.

Lumina and Fae\'s head shot up straight ahead, frozen in shock as everyone\'s attention was solely on them. They had a very strong feeling that they would be in trouble for this.

"Funny you should mention that Mrs Neider, we were discussing a strategy that might work." Fae said, trying to sound as innocent as possible while batting her lashes.

"Does anyone buy that story?" Mrs Neider asked the others.

No one dared speak, instead they just stared in silence.

"I thought as much." She nodded her head.

"We are in big trouble, right?" Fae whispered through gritted teeth.

"You think?" Lumina hissed in a like manner.

Mrs Neider was a magic user, and her powers render a person who has low resistance or rank compared to her, trapped in a void of total darkness with the deepest fears realized in the mind.

This makes anyone who falls into her trap go crazy if the time spent in the void is prolonged or vulnerable to whatever she might have up her sleeves.

"The two of you look like you\'re up to some mischief. I\'m starting to get suspicious, so you better make up your mind right now." Mrs Neider raised her left palm up, and began to point at them with her finger.

\'What I do for friendship.\' Lumina thought in a brief moment of regret as she closed her eyes, rapidly thinking of a way out of the situation they were in.

"Please pardon my friend, Mrs. Neider, but she gets a little bit hyperactive when she feels like she\'s being accused of something." Lumina responded, looking directly into Mrs Neider\'s eyes.

"Hey!" Fae hissed with the corner of her mouth, "what the hell are you doing? This is so far away from \'hyperactive\'."

Ignoring Fae for the time being, she had to prove that she was not lying, and more importantly, that she was not guilty of any accusation. She knew that she was going to have to tell a lie, but she just couldn\'t tell Mrs Neider what they had been discussing.
