Celestial University: A Bully Romance

Chapter 28: Easing Swirls

After Calypsa's Coach Catfishing Adventures came to a coastful conclusion, she opened the office and woke up the real Tychonis.

He opened the door to find everyone getting ready to leave while a ball rolled out from his office, transforming into Calypsa behind Sehki.

"Oh class is over already? Alright, dismissed."

Surviving a test through Delta's class, Calypsa brought Sehki back to her room.

Concern dripped down his face. "Before class, you didn't, you know, he didn't force you to do anything, did he?"

"No, I can tease, but who I do it with is extremely limited. I took back the memories he stole from you while also giving him a few to dry him out."

"Your magic power can rival a professor?"

"We~ll more like skill. But I can't use Chameleon as long as you're your parent's aide. He could make transformations last for days on end."

"His magic control must be insane!"

"Well he did teach me how to converse better. Anyway, I'm guessing it didn't work out with the other professors. So what do you say?"

"I forgot," his cheeks grew. "I'm sorry." She deflated them, forgiving him, but remembered he was trying to tell her something earlier.

"A night out with the six of us? To where?"

"I don't know, something where we can all just relax."

"Hmm, Xia might, Rigal definitely would, Taylor could, if Ainsley doesn't drink anything too weird. I know the perfect place," texting all of them. "Okay, we'll go to a Bistro at Cusp Central next week. Do you drink?"

"No."
"Perfect...don't touch any of the workers though unless they tell you to."

"Yeah, consent, duh."

"Even if they give you permission."

Is she jealous? "Don't be so possessive."

"I'll give you something special if you don't. Maybe we could turn it into something more," watching his face tighten up. "Awnh, your curious face. You'll find out when we go."

Over the course of the week, he came to Professor Tidal's office hours, attempting to practice using water. The best he could do was at least wave sweat off his face and weave water.

"You seem more compatible with Fixed and Cardinal than anything else. Not much for generating an aura for Mutable skills, huh. Do you tend to keep yourself off?"

"I, well no. I had to take care of someone close and I just kept a close friend. A lot of people weren't exactly kind to me, here or there, so I just stuck with someone there. How strong can Mutable be?"

"That would explain a lot. With enough skill, you could create a miniature biome around you that expands the range and reach of either the StellArts or elemental power you possess, but it exerts a lot of magic energy. If you improve the other two skills, you can make that easier."

He showed it off, creating a damp field of cold air around the two, even manipulating the pores and sweat dripping off both their bodies.

"Wow."

"Try stirring water or cooking in your free time. That might help."

Sehki took the option to heart, practicing on water cups. Throughout the week, snapshots of the day only made him more worrisome:

Ainsley was using their powers to trap people in rubbles of earth, and when they were done, the victims would mostly be drained of energy.

He checked Rigal's podcast, where his fellow heir demanded of his hosts suck him off as they asked him who he considered the strongest heir.

"It ain't Ainsley, they're so weak they could barely throw a fist in a fight. Yeah baby, that's it, suck that," as Sehki lowered the volume before turning it up. "Taylor's second, man's too busy hating on movies that his own people don't be making but he got the strength to pack of anyone and have them down on his knees."

"He's not gonna admit Xia can beat him, is he?"

"Oh Xia? We like fifty-fifty, wait until the Mightatholon."

"Yup, called it."

Another time, he was doing his best to avoid the heirs and the Inner Circle when he spotted Candy attempting to contact someone important, only for friends behind Sven to start attacking and assaulting her with fists and kicks, yelling at her to stand down.

Sehki rushed to her aid, pouring fire and water in his arms to smack them across and trying to use earth to shake the away, but Sven caught him in the air, intending to send him crashing into the library. However, he bit down long enough for Sven to fly them into a tree.

The fly boy's friends bombarded Sehki with blasts of dust and mud as he tried to get up, and he noticed several professors, including Lumin watching briefly, but not doing anything about it as others were recording.

Pissed, his mind thought of making a geyser, punching the earth with the merged sweat and water vapor to blast up mud and kick it in their faces. He told Candy to run while he hid back in his dorm.

Thinking back to when he had to fend off kids that were chasing him and Flint in the park, Sehki grabbed a straw, building up magic in his throat to see if he could use it as a spitball in case and opened the window, opening fire before they retreated.

"Phew."

The weekend finally came and Sehki's outfit he debated on whether it was stealing from the store was as close to the designer clothes of the heirs and Calypsa's party clothes. Though the other four were dismissive at best, an Aurgia taxi heading them to Benjin's Bistro.

Inside were several tables, a stripper pole, several round couches with tables in between, a bar section, several stripper poles, a crystal ball light, and a slew of attractive individuals welcoming them in.

Though none of the workers seemed particularly fond of the group. A woman in her mid-thirties approached the group, frightening Sehki as the expansion of heat surrounded and burned their very bodies.
