"What's going on, guys????"
Audrey asked when she saw the duo shooting hostile gazes at one another.
"I don't know with your girl, Andrew. She just started shouting all of a sudden."
"Andrew, your friend was trying to flirt on me!"
When the group heard Nika's claim, they all look dumbstruck.
Seriously???
At a time like this, you guys even find time to start flirting around?!
Can't that wait???
This is especially so to Nike. He looked at his dear young brother to seek his side. He really can't imagine Niccoli being daring as that.
"Nonsense! Did you just hit your head somewhere? Stop spouting lies? Why would I even flirt with you??? You're not my type! For your information!"
I'd rather hang myself in a tomato tree than to flirt with a girl like you!
Narcissist!
"Shut up!!!!! Hold your tongue. Let's talk about it later, after the competition."<
Gathering all her courage, she stops resisting and let the vines to make its way all over her body. Soon, the vines block her view as it also covered her face. Nika just closed her eyes and surrender to her fate.'Andrew is right, I trust his words... It is not the time for me to panic. He cares for me. I should not make him worry.'She keeps on repeating this same thought in her mind. Like an audio cassette played in a loop, Nika let Andrew's words to keep running on her mind. On the other hand, watching how Nika's body becomes completely swallowed by the tree, the group stood unmoving on the spot. They, as well, held their breath as they wish Nika can make it. They do want to help, but they know that there is nothing they can do. They will just worsen the situation if they will try to forcefully barge in and interfere. Only Nika could save herself."The school management is supervising this game right?
Right now, the group was standing on another lush greenery littered by flora and peonies of varying sizes. The place was full of different colors giving it a festive vibe stretching up unto the horizon. It creates a great contrast from the other places that the group had been ever since they arrived in the arena. It looks like they had been teleported again to another place without them knowing. Somehow, Audrey had a feeling that the surroundings of the place that they were teleported to resemble the entrance to Iridos. Such lush greenery littered by colorful flowers that looks like tiny jelly beans from a distance is just like the first place that greeted her when she first set her foot on the Iridos. It definitely had a striking resemblance to the place that they were currently located.The wind blows from the east and a light fragrance of flowers drifted in the tranquil and vast greenery. Not too far from where they are, another group of sorceresses was obser
"Nika, it seems that we are on opposing sides right now. I hope that you won't take it personally later once we defeated you."Selene was obviously part of this group. In fact, she seems to be the de facto leader of this school belles. It was she who spoke those provoking words."I bet Nika was having fun since she was able to join the best warlock group."Another sorceress butted in as she simpered. Her smile was too forced that it was not hard to notice how fake her smile was. The corner of the other sorceresses' mouth quirked up as they listened on the sidelines. Normally, if this was on the other occasions Nika will have her head held high with her nose sticking on the air. Her disposition will not pale in comparison even when placed next to this school belles. But due to her sorry appearance because of being trapped by the strangler vines in the cursed forest, her usual bewitching posture matched with her disposition of a femme fatale seems aw
On the other hand, Jace and the others were not sure how they should react to the situation. They seem to be cast out in the sidelines.The group of sorceresses seems to forget about their presence. Or it could be that they just don't see them worthy of their notice.It was like their world revolve around their own girl group as they continue to lash at one another spraying salt in each other injuries with their words laced with sarcasm.It took quite some time before Audrey and her friends managed to recover from their daze. They looked at the young ladies in front of them with a look that was even more shocked than they would have been if they had seen a ghost instead.It did not take long for a catfight to broke among them. The sorceresses fight within themselves and this left Audrey and her friends flabbergasted.How the hell did they end up fighting with their own team members?! Who in their right mind will lose their cool just a
However, just as when Audrey was about to reach out to Selene to take its token, Selene did a sudden somersault and attack Audrey. This caught the other party off guard for a second. Nonetheless, Audrey still managed to dodge the sneak attack coming from Selene.It seems that Selene has still a remaining strength within her and she was just feigning weakness and was bidding her time to get close to Audrey to launch her attack. Audrey was dragged into a fight and from the looks of it, it seems that Selene had the upper hand. Compare to Audrey who was just moving by her instinct, Selene appears to be more adept when it comes to fighting.This shows how properly trained she was in this aspect. Despite having a sword in hand, Selene was still able to overpower Audrey. As Audrey was not well versed in using a sword, Selene was able to make use of this to her advantage. She managed to snatch Audrey's sword and use the same sword to harm Audrey. She made h
'Gosh! Is my luck really that bad??? Can't it be a student please??!!!'Audrey was shouting inside her brain as she feels someone poking her in her side."Is he dead already?"A frightened voice of a girl sounded."Gosh! Thankfully! It is a human not, a beast."Since Audrey had her eyes close, she was not able to see the young lady standing on her side. The other party was holding a long stick and she was using it to poke at Audrey's sides lightly. Trying to gauge if the person lying in her front was dead or alive."Help me... please.."Audrey said weakly as she tried her best to utter those words."What happen???!"When the girl realized that the other party was still alive, she hurriedly helped him."You had a wound on your chest. Let me attend to it first."As the young lady thought that she was dealing with a man, she did not hesitate to rip its tattered clothes
"Everything?!!!!"Audrey asked in bewilderment. When she heard the other party saying 'everything', she feels like she had been struck by lightning."Err.. NO! I don't exactly mean everything, as in everything. Trust me... I'm only referring on your upper half, your bare chest. I don't go further down to it. Don't let your imagination run wild!"Realizing that she somehow misspoke, Fiona face flushed crimson from embarrassment. She was waving her hand and doing exaggerated hand gestures as she tries to explain herself in a hurry. On the other hand, hearing the other party's explanation, Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. Having a first good impression towards the other party, Audrey believed the credibility of Fiona's word without any hesitation.'Ohh.. At least, I was still fully chaste all throughout.'This thought cross Audrey's mind at that time. She feels like her chastity will be compromised if someone will managed to get
"Your friend had a deep wound across his chest. You better attend to it now before it gets infected."Fiona butted in when she noticed that the group was starting to change the topic. She purposely mentioned the matter about the wound in Audrey's body; hoping that the other guys will get the hint that all she was doing just a while ago was out of her goodwill and she was just helping out the other party to attend to his wound. She doesn't want to get her actions misunderstood so she tried to explain herself in a roundabout manner. Besides base from how they talked to each other, it was obvious that the group that arrived as well as the warlock beside her knew each other. Since that is the case, she believed that there is no longer a need for her to personally attend to the other party's injury anymore."Andrew, are you alright??? Let me help you..'Nika immediately volunteered. Since it was relatively dark inside the cave, Nika and the rest of the
