✔️My Magical Stranger// GeminiFourth, FirstKhaotung

*46* Heroes

P'Zee called Phuwin, Dunk, Kaownah, Cooper and Fluke right after breakfast. Colleagues wondered aloud what it could be about.  They were dressed in uniforms typical of students of the Academy of the Knights of Light, this time navy blue, with their nicknames, names, surnames and magical rank, depending on whether they were fully magical, hybrids or came from completely non-magical, in which only they, thanks to gifts from angels and archangels, became the chosen ones embroidered with gold threads near the heart.

“Maybe they will announce the day of the rune ceremony?”  Kaownah wondered aloud.   “Because we have already passed all the exams and endurance tests, I expect that they will set a date any day now.”

“But then wouldn't they have announced it at the morning meeting?  Besides, they would have summoned all of us because we all passed the exams”. Cooper had serious doubts, and Phuwin shared his opinion.

“I don't know, maybe there is some new mission we should take part in?  Or this is an additional test to check if  we are really ready?” Fluke suggested his thought, walking at the front of this small procession.

“That would explain why P'Zee didn't call Gemini and Fourth, they don't have enough experience, or at least that's what I think, but I don't know, something doesn't feel right”. Dunk wrinkled his nose as if it had reached him  some bad smell.  A moment later, the others grimaced as well.

“Yuck!  What's that smell?”  Kaownah plugged his nose with his fingers, trying not to inhale the disgusting fumes that seemed to be coming from behind Dr. Jimmy's office door.

“It... It smells like burning human corpses,” Dunk replied after a short moment of thought.  The young men exchanged horrified glances and Cooper grabbed the door handle to open the door, but even though he pressed on it with all the strength he had, the door remained closed.

“Step aside”. He asked the others and positioned himself at a slight angle to force the door open with his shoulder.  Before anyone could protest, Cooper pushed against the door and it swung open with a loud bang as it hit something behind it.  The boys looked inside and saw clouds of gray smoke surrounding one of the beds, with Dr. Jimmy standing next to it.  Just outside the door, someone had placed a not very tall cabinet with a glass door, which broke when Cooper literally broke the front door off its hinges.

“HELP!”Dr. Jimmy only managed to scream before he was knocked to the floor by some unseen force.  The boys didn't talk to each other about it, they didn't establish any action plan, there was no time for it.  Cooper, being the strongest of them, decided to stay and fight what attacked the doctor.  Phuwin just shouted to the others: "I'm coming!" and ran out.

In the corridor he came across Gemini and Fourth, who were just returning from breakfast.  Gem and Fourth had classes scheduled later with Mixxiw and Off Jumpol.

“G, Fourth, help!  Someone attacked Dr. Jimmy!” Phuwin blurted out in one breath.

“WHAT?!” GemFourth asked in unison.

“Dr. Jimmy was attacked.  I'm running for P'Zee” Phu said a little slower, but not calmer at all.

“We're going to the doctor”. Gemini decided and together with Fourth they started running towards the doctor's office.  The bad luck was that Dr. Jimmy's office and P'Zee's office were on completely opposite sides of the same 250-meter-long corridor.  When they were very close, they heard the crack of cracking wood, as if someone had hit a wooden board against something very hard.  You could also hear someone's desperate scream for help and another, slightly quieter one, calling for his mother.

When they got there, they found real chaos there.

The white furniture that had previously stood against the walls in the doctor's office was completely destroyed, fragments of glass were strewn across the floor, and various substances and colorful pills of various sizes were visible.  Dr. Jimmy was lying unconscious next to a still smoking bed, on which they saw a dead body.
