“You are late.”“Yeah, did I make you wait for long?”Lanlan shook her head.“Nope. I also got here a few moments ago.”Sandhya noticed that lanlan was less energetic than usual.“What happened? You look drained.”Lanlan sighed, “Yeah, so much  for coming first in the entrance exam. Everyone’s eyes were kind of glued on to me. They were waiting like vultures for me to make a mistake so that they could tear me up. But thanks to Lola’s tuition it saved me a lot.”After a momentary silence, she asked, “What about you? You also look worn out.”Sandhya looked at the sky, there was some time before evening. “Nothing much. It seems like we faced the same storm but our places were different?”Lanlan laughed, “I see.”As they were walking towards Sandhya noticed Serena near the entrance gate talking

She walked towards her desk. There was still some distance between her and the desk when she sensed danger and instinctively leaped two steps back.Several wooden swords hit the place where Sandhya was a moment ago. “What the…” She looked at the front to see what was going on. Two thick branches came into her view moving towards her with tremendous speed. She ducked. A deep frown etched on her face.‘Swoosh.’Another thick branch hit her from one side. Sandhya knocked on to a desk and toppled. She activated her mana layer and blocked it but it was late. Her hands started to bleed due to the cuts made by the branches.‘Fwish…’Another wave of wooden arrows swarmed on her from various directions. She rolled away. The swords pierced into the hardwood desk. Thankfully no one was sitting in that area. Sandhya heard crackling sounds beneath her. Getting up she stepped far aw

Ren had a weird expression on her face when Sandhya showed her the medicine she was holding, “The wound looked deep so went to bring medicine. While returning I came across this stall who was selling these so I bought them.” Ren looked at Sandhya’s calm face as if it’s her daily job buying medicine and sweet potatoes. She internally facepalmed herself. “Well, come in.” Sandhya nodded and entered the house. The house was nicely furnished with just the daily necessities. The front door opens directly to the living area. She put the baked potatoes on the table and her bag on a chair while Ren went into the kitchen to wash her wound. Some time passed and Sandhya entered the kitchen. Ren was standing in front of the faucet with her eyes closed while trying to put her hand underwater. She looked like a reluctant kid who doesn’t want to take her injection. ‘It will take forever.’ She sighed and took a small cloth to clean the wound. Since Ren was busy deciding she didn’t notice Sandhy

She said this loudly so that each and everyone present in the classroom could hear her. The student's jaws dropped after hearing this. They indeed had noticed it and they also knew the real incident but who could tell these mind-sick girls that are way head over heels about Kane.Some boys couldn’t stop their laughs so muffled sounds of laughter echoed in the room. Those girls glared at Sandhya and those boys who dared to laugh.‘Did she just call them crazy?’ Thought those girls in their mind.Those boys also stopped laughing instantly knowing that if they didn’t then it might become their last laugh.Sandhya waited for Kane to speak.‘Say something. At least say a word so that I can clean this mess up.’ Sandhya yelled at Kane in her mind. But when she didn’t even see a shift in Kane’s face, she decided to initiate it herself.“Is there anything between us, Kane?”She asked and slammed the desk to get his attention. Kane finally looked at her. He stared at her deep brown eyes who wer

The impact was great. Sandhya’s eyes blurred and her head was dizzy. She slumped on the ground while holding onto the net. “Are you alright?”She shook her head and tried to get up. “Why didn’t you use your mana layer? I’m amazed you are still standing.” Demi said.A while later her dizziness subsided and her eyes cleared. She saw Demi resting near the post. “How much time did I take?”“10 minutes. Much faster than a normal person.”He gave her water to drink and replenish her energy. “There are 20 minutes left. Do you want to continue or want to get some rest?”“I will continue.”“Then you better use mana layer or else you won’t last.”Demi prepared himself to kick the ball. He gave a quick look to confirm Sandhya is alright and gathered all his energy on his foot. With a swing, his foot touched the ball sending it towards her. Sandhya took a deep calm breath and replayed all the moments where she had practiced with her magic. Regaining her strength and confidence she poured all
