Chapter 9: Witchcrafts | Part 1
Callista stared blankly at the magic book and flinched in fright as she turned behind her to see Ivan had made an explosion.
He noticed that she saw what he did and smiled at her "Hehe. Sorry about that" he said making her shake her head and turn her attention to the book again.
They were currently in Witchcraft Class and were partnered up by the Professor, Professor Wilford, a high-class warlock. She didn't expect that Ivan would really suck at this as he couldn't even mix the ingredients right.
۞MYSTIC FOG ۞
Ingredients:
-Water pearl
-Mist from the fiery clouds
-Tears of Sadness
-Letisian Petal
She scratched her head in frustration as these ingredients are not easy to obtain. The only thing she was lucky about was that her partner is someone she could rely on regarding his agility.
She looked at the other students and some had gone back from obtaining the ingredients so she can't help but sigh.
She walked near Ivan "So? What's the plan?" he asked when he saw her "We have to go to the Hunting Grounds to get the other ingredients" she said and she was taken aback when he slung his arm on her shoulder.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" she was pulled by him that she didn't expect "W-Wait a minute" she tried protesting but he wasn't listening.
Empire Academy built the Hunting Grounds mainly for the students who are assigned to train for survival by their Professors thus why the Survival Class is made.
Callista stared at the deep lake before turning to Ivan who was doing the same "There are big fishes there. Will you be okay?" she asked.
"You're not coming with me?" Ivan asked as he tilts his head "I'm not really fond of big bodies of water. I'm afraid I would just be a nuisance to you when you're hunting underwater" she apologetically smiled.
"Oh, I understand." he said and took off his uniform except for his pants "Then you should just wait here." he said and didn't wait for her reply as he dived straight into the lake.
Callista just stayed there staring at the Lake until Ivan finally came back to land.
"Are you okay?" she asked and gave him a towel that was in her bag "Thanks and here" he said and handed her a white pearl that shined underneath the sun.
"You did a great job, Ivan" she smiled and went near the lake and stared into it "Its nice that you came back without getting injured" she said in astonishment.
"The fish monsters there may be bigger than us but it's also weak" he said "That's- Huh?" Callista didn't know what happened or how but she found herself sinking into the water as the last thing she heard was Ivan shouting her name.
Unable to keep her balance, she slowly sank as she looked around for any danger. Her eyes widened when she spotted nothing but dark blue water in every direction.
This is the scariest part about going underwater, fishes are faster here thus having an advantage. You also won't know when they will attack as the Lake is deep and wide. Just being alone here is already giving her goosebumps.
There is something here.
She was alerted when she sensed a presence around her and turned her body before spreading out her palms to cast a spell.
As she was about to cast a spell, an enormous mouth was about to attack her. The magic circle quickly sent out sharp light arrows towards its mouth as it shrieked making her winced.
She quickly made another spell that would quickly boost her up to shore. She clenched her fists and summoned water waves to propel herself up. Another magic circle appeared in front of her and sent water waves that made her move further up.
Shit!
She can't help but cuss when the fish quickly swam up to follow her, but her attention quickly turned to someone beside her when he held her arm.
She saw that it was Ivan and she looked as he conjured up a big magic circle and blasted numerous light swords towards the fish.
Before she could see what happened, she was quickly sent to shore. She coughed until she was able to breathe and caught her breath as she glanced at Ivan who helped her up.
"Geez, you should really be careful. How come you tripped?" he said and handed her the towel "I... tripped?" she asked between breaths.
"Duh! What else?" he said with an eye roll before studying her face "Don't tell me you don't remember? Did you bump your head underwater or something?" he said and was about to touch her head when she quickly slapped it away.
"Then I'll be unconscious if that happened" she said and sighed "We should return to our dorms first to change our clothes and go back here" she said and Ivan could only nod "Okay" he said before he looked at her walk off.
When Callista went back to the dorm, she quickly caught the attention of the few students that were there.
She quickly changed her clothes when she arrived at her room and glanced outside the window as she buttons up the uniform and properly ties her tie. As she stared out the window, she thought to herself which made her smile.
"This will be more interesting than I thought"
