TBATE | Fix it all

Life without her. Part 2

- "Well, in the end, almost everyone refused to fight me, too bad. Apparently they're afraid I'll hurt them badly. The only ones left are. Okay, Malfoy, Hermione, Harry and Ron. All that's left is Dumbledore and Voldemort. Well, the Headmaster will do for Dumbledore, but I don't know who'd be good enough for 'The One Who Can't Be Named' " - Grey thought as he looked at Arthur, Elijah, Tessia, and Lucas.

- Since there are fewer competitors, I'll be as strict with them as possible - said Grey - The rest don't relax! 10 laps around the field, but don't forget to keep an eye on the fight, maybe you'll emphasize something for yourself! Now let's get to you...

Hearing Grey's words, the quartet flinched a little. Why Arthur and Lucas flinched is understandable, but Tessia and Elijah flinched just subconsciously. Grey decided to give them time to discuss. It didn't go well at first, since Lucas didn't want to participate and was generally aggressive towards the trio.

- Let's make a bet. If I lose, I will grant one wish from each of you, but if I win, each of you will have to grant one of my wishes - after Grey's words, Lucas' eyes lit up, because he could wish that bastard anything. And now he was eager to discuss strategy.

* 5 minutes of discussion later *

- So, are you finally ready to start the fight? - Grey asked, to which he received affirmative nods - Then let's begin.

After that, nothing happened for a second. Lucas conjured up the fire cage he had used against Arthur earlier. Only now Arthur was on his side. After casting the fire cage, Arthur and Tessia rushed towards Grey. He, still unmoving looked behind their backs as if searching for something.

- Where are the wooden swords? - Grey's question took the boys by surprise. But then he just disappeared and appeared behind the dome. Smiling and taking the wooden sword, he reappeared inside the dome.

During this action, Arthur and Tessia stopped as they thought his question was just a distraction and prepared to attack, but they saw their teacher pick up the wooden sword from outside the dome and then reappeared next to them. Lucas, although it didn't look like it, was no fool and put the Fire Cage away immediately because he realized it was useless against Grey. Arthur was the first to react to Grey's appearance and lunged forward and struck from above. Grey, despite having a wooden sword, easily parried Arthur's blow and attacked Elijah.

- "Yo, what are you doing?" - rang out in Grey's head and he stopped abruptly. Arthur, who was about to lunge for a punch, stopped. Everyone stopped. This was the second time this had happened. But even that was enough for them. Tessia used the vines to restrain Grey, but he didn't even move to dodge. They were surprised, but they were careful, who knows, maybe he was caught on purpose. As they started to approach, preparing all the spells and techniques they knew, they saw Grey's face expressing emotion, as if he was talking to someone.

- I didn't know you had familiar, Professor - Arthur said. The faces of the other three calmed down, for after those words, the situation became clearer.

- Yeah, and he's an asshole - Grey said - He'll be here in five minutes.

- Is that by rule? Then there'll be two of you - Lucas said with a sly smile, hoping that Grey would automatically lose.

- You didn't play fair either - Grey said with a smirk as he used the God Step to get out of the vines. He then reached behind his back and pulled out Sylvie, who was looking at Arthur and smiling guiltily - I don't think we agreed that the familiars would participate too. Since that's what happened, I think it's only fair that I wish her something too.

- "We're almost there, Sylvie's got the amulet, so you can't see the horns" - Regis said.

- "Well good, you can come right in, though what am I, you were going to come without asking anyway" - Grey replied with a roll of his eyes.
