Chapter 9: The Test for Ice
Time sped through those classes and lunch, as well as break. It was at that point time for some combat preparing, and that was the part I was generally frightened of.
Now, it’s more straightforward to plunk down and tune in and get together data about a specific subject and afterward go on your way. In any case, you need to learn combat by making it happen, and being that was unpracticed, I was preparing to assimilate high measures of humiliation.
Me and Tisiah went into one room, and the room began with a lift. Going down to the genuine class, we wound up in an off-kilter region.
There were no work areas or tables or anything. There were these stands with books on them, and others having their wands firm in their grasp.
The room seemed to be a library, with the finished wooden tables and retires.
There was a chandelier at the top that lit up the room, and the smell of the room was very reviving on the off chance that I really do say so myself. The room had a smell of lavender or like the breeze that flew through the room, every single corner.
What I was frightened of was the educator. The instructor was an uncovered lady with a tattoo of a mythical serpent painted on top of it. She was wearing an orange robe that was clasped by a brown belt. We were unable to see her feet as a result of the length of her robe.
.....
“So you must be the new kid I believe?” she asked me. I nodded. There was a different set of students this time. Fortunately, no Malachi. Unfortunately, no September.
“Oh, hey Tisiah!” a female said. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming my way, and I whirled my head back to see who it was.
It was a young lady, without a doubt shorter than me, however she had exceptionally smooth hair. She was by all accounts mixed, in light of the fact that her mocha shaded skin coordinated with her hair that appeared to be gotten together and afterward positioned into a solitary group that was twisted right down, despite the fact that it was more obscure than her skin.
She had small hoop earrings and a quite lip-full of lip gloss. She was wearing a brown disguise shirt, and very – exceptionally thin pants.
“Hey, sis,” he said, making me a bit less surprised. I guess that’s his younger sister or something. Then Tisiah looked up at me and said, “Nikki, Connor, Connor, Nikki.”
I found myself with almost nothing to say. She looked at me and smiled. “Hello,” I said. “Well, first time to see you.”
“First time I guess to you, will this be the only time?”
“Well from the looks of it, not really,” I said. I could feel the sweat building up in my armpit hair. “Also I didn’t know you were Tisiah’s friend. He also said you saved him from being beat up by Malachi,” she said. “Thank you.”
“Ahh, no problem,” I said. “I help friends, they help me, we help each other. It ain’t no big deal at all, he’s a good friend, and I’m sure you are too.”
I don’t have the foggiest idea how on earth I had the option to talk for that long, I must’ve been pausing my breathing.
“Alright, I think class is beginning, better prepare your wand,” Tisiah said. I nodded, and sorted out, I have no clue about how to get my wand.
“Oh, wait,” Tisiah laughed. “You don’t have any idea how to. Simply click the button that is on your yellow utility belt okay?”
I did, and some way or another the button stretched out to a yellow wand, with its head cut into some kind of dragon that appeared to pull back to breathe out a surging flood of fire. I gazed in stunningness at its construction before the teacher started talking.
“Now, just to present myself I’m Sensei Waine, and I have dominated every one of the components of what the wand can do. Be that as it may, not every person can make it happen, as a matter of fact – most can’t,” she said as she strolled between the understudy sections.
She in the long run strolled in the path where I was at.
“Each power requires an alternate measure of energy. One represents considerable authority in one component since they can deal with it well, and today could be that day for some of you. As a matter of fact yesterday we found out about a typical component we know of, fire.”
The manner in which she articulated it made it a lot more frightening than it previously was.
“Be that as it may, today, we found out about another component, might anybody at any point think about what it is?”
“Water?”
“Close, however no.”
“Ice,” Nikki replied.
Sensei Waine nodded and she got out her wand. I think everybody has a dragon as their wand, however I actually like mine.
“Now someone, explain to me what ice is,” she said. Many raised their hands quicker than she could blink. “Jeremy,” she said, which I had no idea who that person was.
“It’s the solid form of water,” he said. Sensei Waine nodded. “Indeed, and the mages from the fifteenth century knew this, as us all do. At the point when one of the EMO organizations-the SMS – was battling against one of the MSTO organizations, they found themselves in a specific circumstance where they were constantly pushed or some way or another withdrew back to their beginning stage. Their advancement was constantly restricted. Now they were for the most part, made of mages that could utilize water with their wands, however they realized they required something more grounded, and that was ice. Today, we are figuring out how to control ice.”
Everybody mumbled as though it was a shock of some kind or another. Be that as it may, I was energized, I was siphoned. I just conversed with a charming young lady, and now I was going to begin shooting out ice solid shapes from my wand.
Tell me this class isn’t bomb.
“Now, I need you folks to sit down and attempt to consider yourself being in an ice world,” she said. “With your wand, it will assist you with moving into that universe.”
Everybody shut their eyes and sat down. “When you do,” she said. “You’ll need to go after an ice precious stone this time, last for fire, you need to catch well-fire. But in any case, this one is a precious stone, and when you go after it, you’ll need to overcome the ice beast that is in front of you.”
“So, what if we defeat him, but what if it’s too much energy for us to handle and we can’t control it?”
“On the off chance that you can’t overcome the beast for longer than thirty minutes, well it’s not so much for you. Furthermore, for the most part it wouldn’t be ideal to utilize different powers without a moment’s delay. You ought to pick the one your best at utilizing,” she said. “Okay, now you ought to initially feel the temperature, and afterward the world will uncover itself.”
She was right as a matter of fact about that.
I could feel the temperature bringing down at a quick rate, and the chills started to shake inside my body. Then, at that point, out of nowhere when I opened my eyes I saw the sky dark, with snow pouring down from it.
The breeze yelled and influenced through the area, and there was a major kind of incline that appeared to isolate me and the thing over the slope.
I took a gander at myself, and I was still in my equivalent dress. White coat, highly contrasting shirt, a yellow utility belt and white shoes which now I believe was a bad idea to wear at the present time.
Where could the beast be?
I kept my wand steady and firm inside my head, but the sweat felt like it was releasing my grip on it. I tried to overcome my fear, knowing this was some sort of dream, an alternate reality of some sort.
I proceeded to walk, and I chose to go on the slope. But I chose to slither, in the event it was there.
The snow fell on top of my body, however I moved. I, in the long run, arrived at the end, and my jaw dropped in shock.
It was a beast, a sasquatch or some likeness thereof however with a wolf head and sharp teeth that could appear to break into my spirit.
Its eyes were dark red, homicidal for triumph. I kept my wand set and prepared, however at that point soon sufficient, it saw me.
I swallowed, however attempted to keep my dauntlessness taken care of.
The beast started speeding towards me, its thunder vanquishing the air and reverberating out of sight. I attempted to consider something and I immediately pulled up an ice wall to obstruct it.
Perfect.
Then, at that point, I manifested ice blocks to help me on the way towards it, while still keeping up with a strategic position. Then, at that point, I jumped up, and gathered I could expect more than 1,000 spikes made of ice, and requested them towards the beast.
They hit – but broke. The monster’s skin was way too strong and armored to be affected by my attack. Then, at that point, the beast sped towards me and dread strengthened in my heart, beating increasingly hard as it sped towards me. I couldn’t regard myself as moving or naturally suspecting what to do, and soon enough its mouth opened, as I set myself up to meet the sharp finishes of the tooth to penetrate my skin.
However at that point, I found myself awakening to the world by and by, while everybody was all the while shutting their eyes.
“Well, you’re back quite early,” she said. “I guess you beat him. What happened to your arms?”
I stammered, looking down to see my arms. And they were glowing red, just like two days before.
