Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 39: Two Rings: The Dragonclad and the Kind Flower

AHHH

Azalea falls out of the classroom holding her hands to where her skirt is. "Oh no what am i going to do"

A loud commotion is heard next to her the voice of a familiar friend.

"Why are you constantly hitting me?!"

"Because you're staring at my-"

"I can't help it were all falling!! Plus partners must stick together. If you want to win"

"Sunneta!" Azalea says.

"Azalea" turns around and attempts to head towards her friend.

SWOOP

The mysterious student grabs hold of Sunneta.

"Am your partner the hooded mage says as they dash away"

"Sunneta" Azalea calls out as she continues to fall.

SWOOSH

"I got you," Jericho says as he catches her out of mid-air as they slowly make a safe landing in the field of mushrooms.

JIGGLE JIGGLE

The two bounce off.

Jericho lands first on the hard ground.

"It wasn't so bad in the beginning but-"

AH

"Huh"

CRASH

Azalea lands on Jericho.

Dazed and confused "Why do I get knocked out" Jericho remarks as he carefully puts the pink-haired girl leaning on a giant mushroom.

With the cape of his uniform ruffled up he stands to dust himself off and fix it. He notices his gloves are slightly coming off so he stands and observes the area while fixing it. He rubs his cheeks as he still feels the slaps that Suneeta gave him.

"This forest. The gigantic trees. The oversized mushrooms. This vast space could only be one forest. The Greater Forest of Aiz" Jericho thought to myself. This was the forest I saw
when I was arriving here.

"Huh, what" Azalea comes to consciousness.

"Ah you are awake," Jericho says.

Azalea then realizes that her coat was scuffed up a little a little bit of her bra.

"Ah!" Azalea screams.

"Wait it's all just a mere misunderstanding. I saved your life" Jericho relays.

"You were looking at Sunneta ones too" Azalea fires back.

"No, it was indeed gravity"

"Where else could I have looked there were girls everywhere. Anyways I must go find my partner."

"Wait you are hurt."

Jericho didn't realize but he had a bruise and cut on the top right of his face near the hairline.

He reaches for his head with his right hand "Blood guess I didn't realize it." Ah, it must have happened when we were falling through the trees the branches and such must've hit me.

"Stay still"

A pink glow resonates with Azalea as Jericho's injury gets healed instantly.

"Wow thank you. Your magic is amazing. Id say it rivals our nurse" Jericho remarks.

"Thank you. I dont really use it on in public plus the others dont see that much use of it"

"Really I say dont believe them. I can also sense a large mana source from within you. What kind of mage are you?"
