"What are you saying?" I bluffed.
I brightly smiled, forgetting about the iffy spells I could recreate from my light novel. If Luke had one, why couldn't I also create my legendary sword? That sword could obliviate everything out of existence with each slash. Muttering a brief chant, I hoped something would come out. When I opened my eyes, I found ten summoned swords, made out of each element, rotating around me in a circle.
Although they had no certain physical form, the elements created its shape. Precious metals crumbled together to represent earth while the fire sword was simply hot sparkling gases. Pouring in more mana, I tried to increase its size, wanting the impact to be bigger. However, I found myself summoning more swords in exchange, a small force compared to her snowball resembling the size of a small hill.
I sighed as I flicked my finger to initiate my attack. Surprisingly, each sword created an enormous impact, consecutively lining up to rush after the weapon before them. I switched into a grin as one of them sliced through the snowball, making the whole thing collapse towards the ground. Charlotte's jaw almost dropped, the tables turned with my newly created spell. I was no longer merciful, summoning more to continue the attacks.
"You're going to destroy the entire school!" She screamed.
"Isn't everything already destroyed?" I wouldn't let her distract me.
"Would it matter if I add to it?" I raised my arm to summon more meteors.
"I'm not going to let you destroy the school," she surrounded everything below us with a gigantic weak barrier.
Didn't she know most of this mess was her fault? I was stunned by her trying to play the hero. She could waste all the mana she wanted, making my job easier on trying to bring her down. I pretended to yawn, always wanting to do this to imitate the cheat characters who could defeat anything. Unexpectedly, she burned with anger as I made use of this chance to slam more meteors and swords down onto her.
"Do you not have a heart?" Charlotte accused me.
"You're the one who started everything," I shrugged.
Her eyes started to fiercely glow, abandoning the barrier to create a rage of tornados rising in height to grow to where I currently flew. I immediately placed a strong barrier around myself, smirking at her while thinking how nice it was to be overpowered. My eyes widened when she viciously smiled in return, snapping her fingers to show off her true strength. I covered my ears as my impenetrable barrier shattered from the harsh wind, the whole landscape frozen into a winter wonderland.
My spells were all completely erased from the ice swallowing each of them, making them crumble into nothing when she squeezed her hand into a fist. Crushing the frozen spells while instantly destroying the new ones with the wind slashing them apart. I gulped as I could tell I was next after my lines of defense got eliminated.
"I was going easy on you," she drifted closer to me.
"You're definitely not a human being," I couldn't decide on what to do next.
"Maybe, but I can't kill you yet. I need to take more pictures and videos so people will continue to pay attention to me," she revealed she wasn't a true fan.
"In fact, it looks like you're running out of mana," Charlotte pointed out.
Before I could react, Charlotte punched my stomach, making me fall from the sky to crash into the snow below her. Trying to summon more mana to heal myself, I was stunned when I could bȧrėly feel anything. I wondered why I suddenly ran out of mana, finding the restrictions were back. I didn't want to wait until sixteen to experience the same power again, helplessly watching her smile from my defeat.
"Let's go back to the shack," she started to drag me by pulling my arm.
I screamed from her hand trying to freeze my entire body. I twisted and turned to escape from her grip, my teeth uncontrollably chattering. My mind started to go numb, not feeling the snow digging into my clothes. My body internally burned while cold to touch on its surface, painless as if I was already frozen. I wondered why everything was swirling around, dizzily merging in and out. Charlotte dropped my arm, finding myself almost dead from her hand.
"I forgot to put on my gloves," she apologized.
We were interrupted when the hover car suddenly fell from the sky. My vision doubled as I noticed there were no people inside the utterly broken car. At least only one person was sacrificed from this whole mess. My heartbeat slowed down, bȧrėly keeping me alive while I left inside the snow. Charlotte was curious about the car, abandoning me to check it out. With no more mana to heal myself, I was goner in this life.
"You're not going to die on us," someone carried me in his arms.
"How can she be so reckless?" another person frowned.
A warm light filled me up, my heartbeat beating faster from bringing more life into me. My blurry vision began to stabilize as the once coloured shapes were starting to become sharper. I gasped from the sudden pain hitting me, the numbness disappearing. I could feel my stomach failing, some of its interior ripped from her powerful punch. Why couldn't I ever be a cheat character?
