Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 44: Two Rings: Lay Low

The southern part of the Greater Forest of Aiz

Suneeta stares at the boy who just revealed himself to her. She looks at him from head to toe. "He's kinda handsome not that bad at all."

After removing the hood Jonathan adjusts it a begins to speak"Alright the plan is that we going to lay low and not draw any attention to ourselves and-" a slight pause to make sure one was listening. He waves his hands in front of Suneeta who stares at his face. "Hey were u listening to what I just said" Jonathan asks in her serious tone of voice.

Suneeta shakes her head as if she were in a trance "Oh uh yeah something about laying low. Yeah, I got it."

"Yeah, that's it. The key to this plan is to watch the time" as he points to the sphere above them.

[30 minutes 50 duos]

Boom Boom

"Explosions but they sounded pretty far away" Suneeta remarks.

"Yeah"

Issac's message gets relayed as care packages appear.

[30 minutes 49 duos]

"One less duo to worry about," Jonathan remarks. "Yeah," Suneeta agrees. "Hey, why haven't I seen you around the academy before? Whose Homeroom are you in?"

With his hands in his pockets "Well all my life I stayed low and in the background the whole time. I let everyone else take the main character position but after seeing the Twelve Stars, and the other students. It made me realize how much of my talents am wasting just sitting in the back"

"Oh"

"My homeroom is A1 with Albeck Reigns and Jericho Pearson"

"I see I haven't really seen or heard your name before until the partners for this part of the exam got chosen"

"Speaking of the exam what happened during the test moments ago?" Jonathan asks calmly. Sunneta looks in confusion "W-what do you mean?"

"Ah your face looks in confusion and you stuttering while you speak. I saw some students feeling uneasy during the test-taking portion. I wondered if it was because we were in the air and elevation. Then I soon realized it was a mage's ability"

Suneeta's expression grew of guilt.

"It's as off someone was trying to sabotage the whole class"

"Y-yeah who would do such-"

"I know it was you girls" Jonathan's tone changes to a much more serious one. "doing that to mess up your classmates is not fair. So I had to return to favor back to you guys"

"So that's what happened to Lily's ability," Suneeta thinks to herself as the situation there turns into an interrogation of some sort.

Jonathan steps closer and closer to Suneeta as she braces for the worst. As closes her eyes and awaits her punishment the footsteps then stop.

"What are you doing?" he asks. "Y-your going to punish me right?" "What where did you get that idea? Jonathan says with an off-put expression. "Well the tone of your voice and the way you approached me seemed like it"

Jonathan then gets up close to Suneeta's face "If I had done that we both would've been eliminated remember what the rules just stated The designated partner may only be replaced if an opponent team's attack prevents one partner from competing. That is to say, you cannot attack your partner or else you would also be eliminated."

"Right so what ARE you going to do to me"

"Nothing just follow my orders and just stay hidden and wait for the numbers to go down"
