Jongho has been trying to open the door for the past 2 minutes using his spells but no avail. Soonyoung, Jihoon and Wonwoo reached there soon and stared at them all. They slowly made their way to the door and tried to catch any sounds from the other side but no use

"No sound. I tried my best."

Mingi stated as Seungcheol, Felix and Minho nodded in agreement. Even Hyunjin was having a hard time detecting any kind of movement

"We can teleport in there but a spell is restricting it."

Jimin stated as a bell inside Jongho's head ringed

"Why don't we do this? We try to find the user of the spell and I can put a restricting charm on them?"

Jongho suggested as the rest nodded in agreement

"I need Hyunjin, Lix, Lee Know hyung and Mingi hyung. S.Coups hyung and Alpha Chan will stay back here and help in defending in case if something happens."

Jongho stated as Yeosang could clearly feel that something was not right and looked at Jongho, who gave him an acknowledging blink

"Someone has to get through this door now."

Soonyoung stated as Wonwoo turned pale. Jihoon tried to comfort Wonwoo

"Jun is drowning. He can barely breathe due to lack of oxygen."

Soonyoung added with pleading eyes as Jongho kicked the wall behind them. The person groaned and became visible as they were shocked but not shocked to see who it was

"Huangbai. You are so doomed."

Wonwoo mumbled as Li Huangbai, Junhui's ex and a trouble maker, laughed at them

"You will never be able to destroy me or my spells. Restraining charms don't work on me."

Huangbai stated while laughing wickedly but what Mingyu did next took Huangbai and all the magic users aback. He had just touched the door and the spells automatically broke

"Well maybe you need to think more carefully. Your spells had a loophole."

Mingyu deadpanned as he kicked the door open before rushing inside to see that Junhui was barely above the surface. He carefully studied the spells which have blocked paths from both ways to get Junhui out. It only took him a few seconds to find a loophole as he just touched the spells which immediately broke. Mingyu jumped in the water and helped Junhui get out of there. Junhui was basically gasping for air and coughed out the water which had gotten in his lungs. Seungkwan almost collapsed as Jisung stared at Mingyu in disbelief. Even Seungcheol stood there speechless. Hongjoong never expected such a thing from his older brother. Seonghwa, Jeonghan, Joshua and Yeosang couldn't even utter a word as Mingyu really was on another level. Wonwoo was stunned as well but he was more proud of Mingyu because he calmly solved the problem while the others were panicking on what was happening

"And now you are dead."

Bang Chan stated while glaring at Huangbai. He had just reached there with Minghao and Vernon. Minghao immediately rushed to his soulmate and thanked Mingyu for saving Junhui's life while tearing up. Bang Chan kicked the wall opposite to them as a loud groan was heard. Two guys were soon visible in front of them as Mingyu patted Minghao's shoulder gently before standing up and walking out of the grotto. He glared at the three guys who caused this. Soonyoung and Jihoon rushed inside to Junhui followed by the rest, leaving only the magic users and physically strong ones in the hallway to deal with the three of them

"Ha! You can't escape this!"

Huangbai shouted as he casted a spell at them. Mingyu just laughed while Wonwoo broke from the spell easily

"Spotting loopholes in the spells isn't difficult. You guys are just newbies."

Wonwoo stated, insulting the three of them indirectly as Changbin was proud of Wonwoo for speaking up

"Exactly. Even Wooyoung won't be this clumsy to leave such loopholes."

Mingyu mocked as he drew his sword. The three of them were scared but they weren't planning on backing down. They casted different spells but Mingyu and Wonwoo together broke the spells. Jongho smiled as he looked over at Jisung, who smiled sheepishly. Seungkwan already got the hint and whispered it to Jeonghan, Joshua and Seungcheol. Joshua and Jeonghan told Yeosang and Seonghwa about it. Seonghwa chuckled and told Hongjoong about it, who couldn't help but proudly smirk at how smart his brother and his brother's soulmate were. Jungkook overheard from Seonghwa as he smiled widely. The 10 of them closed their eyes and held hands while mumbling a spell. Minho, Bang Chan, Felix, Changbin, Yunho, Wooyoung, Namjoon and Chan backed away a bit as they proudly watched their teammates

"Ay I.N, why don't you join?"

Jeonghan asked suddenly as the other 9 groaned since they could have included Jeongin from the start if Jeonghan had even bothered to tell them. Jeongin nervously made his way there and held hands with Jisung and Jongho which made him relax a bit before they restarted the spell again. Mingyu and Wonwoo were doing a fine job breaking the spells. The 11 of them finished chanting their spell which was ready to be casted

"Jongho, finishing touch."

Yeosang stated as he knew that Jongho was planning to add more. Jongho nodded happily before he closed his eyes and mumbled something underneath his breath before reopening his eyes. Wonwoo looked back a bit to see that they were ready, which made him smile a bit as he looked at Mingyu and nodded, who also nodded back before stepping out of the way. Jongho pointed his wand at the three of them, making them trapped in a ball of spells which they couldn't get out of unless Jongho decided to break it, which wasn't going to happen anytime soon

"We won, you three lost."

Mingyu stated as Wonwoo chuckled and nodded in agreement

"And this is why you don't mess with the Foreigns or the Sunshines especially. In fact you don't mess with any of the 8 main groups in this academy."

Namjoon stated with a sharp glare as the three of them nodded out of fear Hoseok stepped out of the grotto and used his telekinesis to make the three of them float up in the air with the spells still trapping them. Junhui walked out with Minghao as he seemed to have calmed down. Minghao wanted to burn the three of them with his fire breath. Seokmin glared at the trio as he would have loved to make the three of them his target while practicing with his bow and arrow. Soonyoung and Jihoon were so ready to kill them using their powers. All of them were in a killing mood but Mingyu calmed them all down

"Let's get going now. We have a whole day free! Why should we ruin and waste it just because of three amateur spell users? Come on guys! We can do better and enjoy our day!"

Mingyu exclaimed as the rest cheered. They first decided to file a complaint on the trio to the headmaster and hand them to him. Once that was done, Mingyu looked over at Wonwoo and gently held his hand

"What did you want to talk to me about, hyung?"

Mingyu asked while gulping as Wonwoo hugged him tightly. Mingyu felt relieved that things were at least fine for now

"Don't blame yourself for something you never did okay?"

Wonwoo whispered as Mingyu nodded happily. The guilt was no longer eating him up anymore

"Hey Gyu and Won! How did you do two that?"

Seungcheol asked as the two stopped and looked at each other with a smile

"I was the former heir to the throne of hell Cheol hyung. I was taught how to do such things in case if I am trapped in one myself."

Mingyu explained as Wonwoo smiled faintly before patting Mingyu's hand gently

"My mother taught me this before she was killed."

Wonwoo stated as Mingyu's heart clenched in pain. He looked away but Wonwoo grabbed his chin and made Mingyu look at him

"I told you that it's okay mi amor. Let the past remain in the past and enjoy our present while also preparing for the future."

Wonwoo stated as Mingyu smiled and nodded, making a promise to himself that he would listen to Wonwoo
