Thalia Cathia

CHAPTER TWO

THALIA CATHIA'S POV

"I d-didn't know... I'm sorry..."

I made an illusion when the people outside started to use their magic. Since I don't have time for them, I just did a trance.

"Give me back my grimoire."

She held up her hand and a faint light appeared. My heart pounded on my chest as my grimoire's magic touch my skin.

"H-Here it is..."

The grimoire floated in the air. I held up my hand to reach it and it gladly accepted my hand. When it got fixed in my hand, it glowed and I could feel my power returning to me. The familiar feeling of my magic ran through my veins and I felt much powerful than before.

'But not powerful enough to stop him.'

When the glow faded, I could see Selena catching her breath again. Her heartbeat is slowing down but it didn't bother me at all. She's not going to die. Not today.

"I was planning to kill you earlier, but I changed my mind. Since you gave my grimoire back without hesitation, plus you humbled yourself in my presence, I'm going to lessen your punishment."

She lifted her gaze at me.

"I will let you live, but I will kill anyone from your clan who will go against me. They should surrender their loyalty to me and I will make sure to protect them no matter what happens."

Tears cascaded down her cheek. She nodded slowly and lowered her head.

I stood up and walked outside the classroom. I could still see them but they can't see us because of the trance. They are confused on what's happening.

Time paused, everyone froze. I used it as a chance to remove what they saw. They will never remember what I did to Selena, but Selena will always have it as her nightmare.

And of course, those level 4 mages and above will forever remember my presence.

When I get back to my chair, time resumed. Everyone was confused as to why they are crying. Those who can sense my aura immediately ran away. Others walked away while asking why they stopped at our room.

I smiled at Selena. She stood up and slowly and ran her gaze around the classroom. Her eyes was looking for someone.

Oh, I forgot, I sent her two minions to a trance.

"Viema..."

Two girls appeared in front of Selena. Both of them are confused on what happened. Their brows are frowning at Selena.

"What happened to you? Why are you looking so pale?"

"Yeah... When we entered the door, we were sent to a different place. What exactly happened?"

My smile grew. I can't believe I'm getting my grimoire back that easily. I didn't even sweat a little.

Selena looked at me and gulped. All my other classmates stared at us in confusion.

"What happened? All I know is they're arguing about the chair."

"I don't know. Selena looked so terrified. Isn't she the most bully in our level?"

"I wonder why. Selena's not afraid of anybody. What did that new girl do?"

"Is there a new bully? Worse than Selena?"
