112 Hobby 2

I closed my dorm room door as lightly as possible while I made sure that Luke was still sleeping.

Luke's constant breathing patterns observed from one of my mana spells made me relieved as it meant that he was sleeping deeply.

I tried to calm myself down as I walked towards the high school section of the school campus. All four levels of the school were separated by a faint mana barrier that could determine who could pass through for security reasons.

I carefully manipulated the mana barrier with my powerful, but precisely controlled enchantments to let me inside.

I slipped into the other side of the barrier as if I was entering a new world through a transparent bubble.

I turned the brightness in my marble to minimally low as I had the map projected to help me find the high school classroom indicated in the note.

I never entered the high school section of the campus before as the only things I knew about it was from rumors I heard from the hallways.

The high school section of the school was truly different than all the other levels. Everything was futuristic and didn't contain any ancient artifacts like the ones in the other sections.

There was a prominent number of robots working around the school as they served the needs of the students. Multiple teleportation gates were busily being used as high school students went on difficult frequent missions to get graded on. Mana was being freely used as students accurately made illuminations to practice for their exams.

Maybe this would be a fitting picture for what the first district was renowned for.

I pulled on the hood of my long robe as I discreetly walked in the long glass hallways.

"Rika?" Ben took a closer glance at my face with great curiosity when we crossed paths on my route to the classroom.

Ugh! This was one of the people that I was hoping that I wouldn't meet. Out of all the places in the wide high school section, why did he have to be here?

"I think you have the wrong person," I politely denied as I pulled my hood down as much as I could to hide my face.

My bright red hair stumbled out my hood as Ben used wind magic to unexpectedly pull my hood off.

"Couldn't you have pretended not to know me?" I asked with great annoyance while I pulled my hood back up.

It wasn't like I was close with Ben. I just stayed in his summer villa a little bit and went to different districts together. Other than that, we didn't stay in contact as we were both busy with school.

It was rare to meet someone in another level in school as the barrier tightly separated any interactions between the very young to mature students.

"Why are you in the high school section?" Ben unintentionally gathered a crowd of curious people who eavesdropped into our conversation with their good hearing.

However, I didn't expect that Ben would curiously look over my shoulder as I compared the map and where I was right now.

I needed to somehow get Ben off my back before I arrived at my destination.

[Small Tornado] I visualized a small tornado that would serve as a shield to prevent Ben from following me as I escaped his line of vision.

A great wisp of wind escalated into a large hurricane. The wind swept the trees to be bare from the leaves forming a great wall that towered metres into the sky with the circular air flow.

The students instantly formed barriers around themselves to cover from the powerful twirling storm that resembled a drill piecing a hole wherever it went.

The gust of a normally pleasant spring breeze became more powerful as it gobbled up more oxygen and a faint hint of mana present in the air. Was I originally thinking of this when I composed it up from thin air?

I sighed as all I wished for was a small tornado. I guessed this was the problem with possessing almost an infinite amount of mana.

I admitted that I poured too much mana from a bit of panic as I ignored the small cracks being formed in the newly built structure.

'The strong foundations that made up the building wouldn't likely crumble from a small spell,' my thoughts were wavering when loud rumbles from flashing lightening came from the sky to contribute to the hurricane.

I didn't dare to look back to take a glance at Ben as I ran away from the scene while the hurricane increasingly became larger as it fed off more energy from its surroundings.

Everyone knew that high school students were highly proficient with mana. Someone would fix this mess in no time, compared the middle school students who majority practiced with perfecting their spells with mana.

I jogged until I looked up to find the sign [2-3] before I would run into anyone else.

There was a thick mana barrier as I expected to keep others way near the doorway. I quickly waved through all its familiar defensive measures that were the same as the one in elementary school.

"Welcome Rika," a soft voice greeted me inside.
