Arion's eyes widened in fear, he couldn't move his body no matter how he tried, the only conclusion on why this was happening, would be it had something to do with the current she channeled into his body with her hand still on his neck, slowly blocking his airflow.

Gasp!

Gasp!

In her defense, she could use her gift now since she had proved she didn't need it to win in her first duel. The rules of sparring didn't apply to this anymore.

She had a sadistic smile as she proceeded to augment her punches with electricity, then in one quick succession, she pulled him up by his neck.

Gasp!

His legs dangled in the air, his hands limply to his side.

Throwing him at a good distance, he tumbled until he had his back on the wall, letting out a groan in pain.

"Lumina!" Fae called out in alarm and worry.

Nix leaned forward, his eyes widened at the change in aura that Lumina gave off. There was no denying, if this were to continue, she was going to kill the Christmas tree.

'What the hell are you all doing, watching?!' He clenched his fists, forcing himself to keep calm while he watched things play out, interfering wasn't in his plans.

'Mune!'

[Yawn!]

Mune stretched out her arms as she floated in front of his face, opening then squinting her eyes, she wondered why he had a frown on his face the moment she had materialized.

Looking around her surroundings, she was shocked to see they had changed to a new area.

Pulling her by her little feet, he made sure she wasn't obstructing his view.

[Hey! That's rude!] She complained in a high pitched voice, steam coming out from her ears.

Rolling his eyes, he pointed ahead, "Watch."

Following where he pointed, Mune let off a squeak, dashing behind his ear, her little fingers held his helix.

'Let go of my ear!' He scolded, her little fingers were holding on a little too tightly.

Ignoring his complaint, she had her wide green eyes on the battle.

[Why is she seething off with a strange aura?]

Nix raised a brow at her question, this was the first time she looked very confused and worried.

'You don't know about this?' He picked her up by the straps of her dress, finally free and relieved from her grasp on his ear.

Shaking her head, she looked over at Lumina one more time, [it's almost like she's a different person]

'You think?' Nix laid her on his palm, closing his eyes momentarily, disappointed that she had no answers to this strange behavior.

[There could be a number of reasons but I think one could be of interest!] She raised her hand.

'Mhmmm' He nodded his head, curious as to what she was going to say.

[There is a magic that could cha.../@#<×>~]

Opening his eyes, he frowned at the break in her words, this was clearly some glitch again. He caught a glimpse of her whole body glitch, causing him to worry.

Irritation set in this time, there was no way she would want to give out valuable information and then something goes wrong with her speech and her body construction.

'What the hell is wrong with you?! What's doing this?' He pulled her closer to examine her.

Just like last time, she merely just blinked several times, and had her eyes on his palm this time. No words spoken for the moment.

Zzzznnnn!

This time, he was determined to watch what would happen as the familiar sound graced his ears.

Mune cringed and let out a sneeze. [What just happened?]

'Really? You're asking me that?' He deadpanned with a straight face. 'You are my guide, it should be the other way around.' He poked her on her stomach to lighten the mood.

She giggled at his action, rolling on his palm.

'I would definitely find out what's wrong with your make up!'

He had expected his user interface to pop up with another mission to suit his resolution, yet nothing?!

He furrowed his brows at the unreal development. This didn't feel right at all. The strange thought of the system not wanting him to investigate further into this phenomenon, by not conforming to his resolution greatly shocked him.

Rubbing his chin, he looked over at Mune, worried about any future occurrence, it couldn't be allowed to continue in this manner. This was some vital information getting masked to his detriment.

Feeling his wrists ache, he slipped her into his front pockets of his long sleeve heavyweight henley shirt, which had two of its buttons opened.

'Stay nice and cozy, okay?' He lightly tapped his pocket. To which she nodded submissively.

With determination in his eyes, he had made it one of his goals to find a solution to, but in all she had said, there was still something that had proven useful.

Whatever that might be happening to Lumina was all related to an unknown individual's magic, but who?

From his guesses, the system didn't want him to know who the mysterious person was.

"Fae, step away from the area this instant." Mr Gaviel ordered. "Now isn't the time to jump into a raging fire."

His ears pricked up at the warning Mr Gaviel called out to a student if she didn't listen to his order.

Nix let out a slight chuckle, already knowing what option this blondie was going to take.

Looking over, he could see Fae cautiously approaching Lumina from behind.

'What the hell is she doing?' He shook his head, wiping down his face.

"Lumina, it's me, Fae." She said softly, "as much as he is an assh*le in life and class. He isn't someone you should waste your abilities on."

As much as she wanted Arion to be taught a lesson, she couldn't bear to let her friend be stigmatized as having killed one of the students in front of the whole academy.

If it were those going rogue, she wouldn't have been this considerate to Arion as she is now.

Lumina turned around, her hands covered in fast moving currents, she had been distracted by Fae from dealing a final blow on him.

Tilting her head, Fae could finally get a clear glimpse of an out cold Arion. Grimacing at his condition, she turned her attention back to Lumina.

"Rest!" She mouthed the words to Lumina.
