"Finished!"

Raghnall's voice was like their salvation. When they knew that the magic circle was complete, they felt their eyesight improving as they looked around.

But no matter how hard they looked, they were only able to see Inna's teammates looking at them in fear.

"Alana, what should we do?! Arie and Brielle are gone!"

The infatuated girl was no longer looking infatuated, instead, she had pure terror in her eyes.

"Nira, relax! Aren't you a witch? Shouldn't you be able to do some damage to her?"

Alana girl replied in an annoyed tone. Since she was a priestess, all she can do was heal and possibly nullify spells. But she can't nullify whatever spell Inna had because she can't even see her!

"My spells need a target to lock on! I'm not good with magic circles or wide range spells!"

Suddenly, they looked at Raghnall for help again.

Raghnall looked at them in surprise.

"Really? You're all relying on me now? Aren't you afraid that you'll get demoted at this rate?"

"Just hurry and do something about it! We won't get demoted unless we win!"

Raghnall shrugged helplessly as he used up his final spell. He really didn't want to help them but what he simply wanted was to drag everything out until the two moments were up.

Since there was only half a moment left, he decided to try and make things more interesting.

He casted a barrier around them and trapped the moving Inna in it together with them.

Inna stopped momentarily in shock as she tried breaking the walls of the barrier.

When Alana suddenly saw Inna a few meters opposite to them, her heart almost leaped up in joy.

"Nira! Ready!"

Nira nodded at her as she tried casting a blinding spell.

But Inna was almost marked by the magic so she ran around in panic.

SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT

She felt herself slowing down and she looked behind her to talk to her teammates.

"Buffers, what's happening?!"

The scrawny guy and May looked at her with panic in their eyes.

"Someone's nullifying the magic we're casting!"

Inna noticed that her teammates no longer had the barrier around them as well so the opponent must have nullified it too.

While running blindly, she tried to find the source of the nullification spell.

Then, she met with Alana's eyes and her moving mouth.

Her! It must be her!

Inna's speed enhancement and strengthening had completely faded and now, they were able to clearly see her movements.

The only spell on her was the original spell she made so she decided to jump around to maximize its effectiveness.

I need to get rid of that pin cushion girl!

Inna clenched her fists as she used Raghnall's barrier as a trampoline to maneuver around the area.

She decided to build momentum as she jumped around.

But just as she was about to launch herself in full force, she suddenly felt that same piercing pain in her heart.

The pain was starting to get unbearable and she fell on the floor clutching her chest.

Then, she felt a burning feeling in her throat as though there was something stuck in it.

The burning pain, along with the stabbing pain in her heart made her knees go weak and her face to give off cold sweat.

She felt her body turning ice cold and uncomfortable that was partnered with a dizzy sensation.

When she dropped to her knees clutching her chest in pain, Raghnall's eyes widened as he realized that her body was pale and trembling.

He was about to go to her side when Nira glared at him.

"What are you doing? Let me handle it! We need to finish this fast!"

Nira started casting while Alana decided to approach her.

Alana wanted to restrain her with what little mage magic she can make while she was still visible.

After a few excruciating seconds, Inna looked up when she felt someone approach her.

Her eyes locked with Alana's mocking eyes as she started casting some spell. As soon as Alana finished, Inna felt small shackles made of stone on her ankles and wrists that was bound to the ground.

Alana, feeling mighty confident of her restrains, decided to squat down to look at Inna square in the eyes.

"You know, I truly despise those who try too hard. Why don't you just learn your place? Or much better.. leave this place. Knowing you're here tarnishes the school reputation, and might even tarnish mind. After all, I can only attend the best of the best academies. With you here, you lower this academy's worth."

Inna wanted to reply but she felt something uncomfortably stuck in her throat.

"What? You can't even reply now? Where's your loud mouth? Where's that overconfident attitude? Where's tha—"

Before Alana could finish, she felt a sudden surge of wet gooey things being smacked towards her face. It flowed from her face down towards her neck then her robes. There was so much that the hem of her robe was completely drenched in the thick gooey mess.

And it didn't seem like it was stopping so she stood up and screamed in disgust.

The students on the bleachers couldn't believe what was happening as well. Their eyes almost popped out of its sockets as they all stood up in surprise and disbelief.

In fact, Inna was in disbelief as well.

Holy fuck.

Did I just vomit on her?!
