Chapter 19: Fighting A Noble!

When Villin saw a person bashing on his door he frowned as he observed the situation for a bit. There were four guys in total. The guy bashing on the door was rather skinny and seemed frail while the three guys around him were burly and muscular.

After a moment's hesitation, Villin walked forward "That's my door you're knocking on right now, how can I help you?"

He decided to be nice just in case he misread the situation. He didn't.

"Oh? Look over here boys, this must be the first year who got room thirteen huh."

The scrawny guy turned toward him. He could now see a purple wand in his wand-holder, something that seemed to be very high quality. He had black hair and a very pale complexion. Yet his blue eyes were vibrant and seemed to be changing constantly allowing one to get lost in them if they let themselves.

"I'm Roland Heartgrieve, a second year. I have room a hundred. Let's switch now shall we?"

Hearing the kid introduce himself caused Villin to frown once more, he had read Heartgrieve somewhere before, he was sure of it. For a moment Villin lamented before realizing where it was.

One of the twelve councilmembers had the Heartgrieve family names. Furthermore, it was one of the two only councilmembers without a bloodline. Despite that, the Heartgrieve name had a long and glorious past. It was one of the rather few noble families without a bloodline. The central continent's magical society was governed by the twelve councilmembers and four high-councilmembers and so it was a great position.

"Thank you for the offer but I rather like my room Roland, I'll think about it some more though!" Villin faked a casual and happy expression while knowing things were about to go down.

Roland's expression instantly changed into one of rage, showing how temperamental he was.

"You dare ridicule me? You must be tired of living at this school!"

Roland then grabbed his wand followed by the three brawny kids around him. Villin naturally also grabbed his wand but there wasn't much he could do with it.

Roland sneered as he saw through Villin's bluff "Lashamen!"

Once he said this word he pointed his wand toward Villin, a red streak of lightning seemed to come out of the wand but luckily since Villin heard Roland's casting he managed to dodge to the left in time.

Coincidentally when Villin dodged to the side another student was passing by without paying attention to the group that was arguing and so the spell hit her right in the side.

When hit by the spell, the student squealed before an electric shock enveloped her entirely, the robe, near the place she was hit, was burnt through and a large burn could be seen on her side, caused by the electricity.

The fact that he hit someone else on accident caused Roland and his goons to be shocked for a moment, something Villin saw as an opportunity. He immediately sprinted toward the scrawny boy, and he was already about to grab him when the boy finally got out of his stupor.

Seeing how aggressive and fast Villin had approached him he stumbled back before pointing the wand at him, said wand was now nearly touching Villin's forehead. Villin was about to move his hand up to disarm the boy but he was too late. In a panic, Roland used the most powerful spell he had stored inside of his wand.

Time seemed to slow down as the spell came out of the wand. Villin saw the blue for a moment until it hit him in the head. Following this he shot backward well over five meters all the way until the wall where his head smacked against the stones harshly, blood splattered everywhere as Villin crumpled to the ground, seemingly lifeless.

Villin saw Roland standing in his original location frozen, a look of shock on his face as he dropped his wand. Then both men fainted.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY, OUT OF THE WAY!"

A girl with brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses screamed as she ran toward the place where Villin had fallen to the ground. Amelia was just heading back to her room from the library when she saw the first spell get shot off, hitting a female student. Before she could even react to what happened there a body shot toward the wall. Furthermore, this body was one she knew pretty well, it was Villin who she saw less than an hour ago.

She ran toward the boy before immediately using one of her two stored spells. She felt incredibly lucky that one of her stored spells was a healing one at this point as it took a long time for her to cast normally.

Both the back and front of Villin's head was bleeding heavily, she was sure there were even cracks in his skull and there was a very real chance he would die. Tears started falling out of her eyes as she started casting her healing spell for a second time, but that would take time and she didn't know how much time she had.

"SOMEONE GET A TEACHER HERE NOW!"

She screamed but just as her sentence was finished a man appeared behind her. It was the kind professor Messen. He looked at the kid on the ground with a serious expression as he put one of his hands on his head. Amelia was about to yell at him as for why he wasn't grabbing his wand but then she noticed that the open wounds on Villin's head had already started closing and a dozen seconds later the pool of blood beneath them was the only proof that the attack had ever happened.

Professor Messen had nearly finished healing the other wounded girl when a second teacher arrived at the scene, this time it was the dwarf who taught 'rune magic'. He looked around for a moment before pointing his wand toward Roland who had, at this point, stood up again.

"Two charges of assault against fellow students is a thousand magic stones and two weeks in the 'chamber of horrors'. One attempted murder is five-thousand magic stones and a month in the 'chamber of horrors'. If you do not have enough magic stones you will be expelled and brought to trial after spending your time in the chamber.

Roland was shaking now as he grabbed his crystal holder. The holder only had a bit over five-thousand magic stones in it. In horror, Roland grabbed the three burly guys around them and convinced them to pool together to get the last thousand, in return he would pay them back in two-fold.

When Roland turned the magic crystals over to professor Crumb he still didn't look any better off.

Professor crumb then grabbed Roland's leg and they disappeared into thin air.

After this, professor Messen grabbed the unconscious Villin before they disappeared as well.
