Into the Night: The abrupt beginning of my turbulent times

From Lancelot Winey's Point of View (Ayanokoji Kiyotaka)

ten o'clock at night

Kathlyn and I walked side by side across the Xyrus Academy campus in silence, but it wasn't an awkward or awkward silence, we were just enjoying each other's company.

Thanks to the bright moonlight that the full moon provided, even at night it was very clear, a soft spring breeze kissed our bodies, the pleasant breeze made several petals of the cherry trees come off the branches and began to dance in the sky.

"This view is simply wonderful." Kathlyn speaks in genuine wonder.

"I agree," I said, as I looked at my patrol partner, my feelings about the woman beside me began to flood my mind.

If I had to choose between liking and disliking, of course I liked Kathlyn, but what does that mean? Do I just hang out with her? There's also the fact that we were both young. I mean, it wasn't uncommon for kids, especially royals, to get married at 13-14, but it wasn't exactly normal where I came from. Sigh... what's the point of being so experienced in fighting and politics when I don't even know where to start when it comes to something as basic as love.

I realized that since our meeting this was the first moment we were alone, that is, the perfect time to discuss our relationship, I organized my thoughts before speaking.

Just as I was about to speak, all the hairs on my body stood on end, when I felt a strange presence, I expanded the area of ​​my Magic detection area.

I studied the surrounding areas of the ground...

On the outskirts of the lot, I found a burly student looking this way.

Sai's appearance caught my attention, as he was very reminiscent of the titan bear I had faced, his skin had a bumpy tone, the sclera of his eyes had a red color instead of the traditional white.

When he seemed to have finished a chant, he shot out, a blast of wind. I ran and stood in front of Kathlyn, this attack was something I could easily handle, but I didn't know if she could.

I moved my right hand up and conjured up a barrier of earth, with a snap of my fingers the barrier was destroyed, thus widening my field of vision again.

The student in front of me was in the light red stage, but the strength of his attacks and his mana pool could rival a solid yellow core mage.

"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

He let out a scream as if he had gone mad, and he began to release an extraordinary amount of mana.

Air spears formed around him, he continued to grin madly as his body visibly withered, it was here that I realized his spells were eating away at his life force and turning it into mana.

'This is the top of the blessing.' Fluger's voice rang in my mind, in my peripheral vision I could watch my partner land on top of the bell tower.

'The leftover blessing?'

'Yes, that's what the djin called this elixir, for it is a brainwash that pushes the sense of exaltation to the limit, and removes any fear, creating perfect puppets.'

"Hey Kathyln, do you think he can be controlled, in dialogue?"

"I think not."

I sighed, "Kathlyn don't let anyone near, I'll somehow try to stop you."

"But all the students should be asleep by now."

"Look around you."

By the rules all students should already be in their dormitories, but the abnormal amount of mana that the student in front of me was emanating must have been able to draw everyone's attention even to those less sensitive with mana, this was evident by the number of people curious people approaching us.
