       As the smoke cleared and black flames surrounded the field, the other students and even my homeroom teacher just stared in disbelief. Even Merlin was lost for words, his eyes filled with what looked like shock and even a hint of terror. It was like he had just witnessed god descend infront of him and grant someone a miracle. Turning slowly around, I looked at them all with slightly glowing eyes, before finally snapping out of my trans like state — shaking my head lightly and finally feeling like I was in control of my body.

'What the hell was that...?'

I thought, before looking around. Seeing the others so scared and even Merlin shocked confused me a bit, before I turned around and saw the reason behind their terror and shock — looks like when I lost control of my body, something decided to take things into its own hands...

I immediately turned to Merlin and hit my hands together, before bowing towards the sorcerer slightly.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do this, I don't know what came over me!"

I quickly apologised, trying to salvage this situation as much as possible. I mean, it will still raise questions on how a 13 year old was able to do what I did, but I can at least try to minimise the damage this will do to my reputation and possibly avoid getting placed under the observation of a official from the Evelia castle. Merlin exhaled before getting himself together and walking up to me, smiling warmly before patting me on the back.

Merlin: "No need to apologise! I shouldn't have expected there to not be someone as powerful as you at your age."

He stated, before patting my head lightly and telling me to go back to the others, which I promptly did. Merlin then looked towards the chaos that I had left behind before diving into his thoughts for a moment and staring at the black flames with a curious and thinking stare.

Then, our homeroom teacher approached him a bit hesitantly and still very obviously scared of what he had just seen.

Mr. Hedlestone: "Grand Sorcerer Merlin? What should we do now? There is still Alis left, but I don't think the targets will be able to be rebuilt..."

Merlin: "No, no they won't."

Merlin replied before exhaling and looking at our Headroom teacher and then throwing a gaze at us, the students. After a moment of silence, the human sorcerer exhaled.

Merlin: "For today that will be it. Miss Alis will have to wait till tomorrow to do her test, since I will need some time to get new dummies back from the royal palace. For now, just have the students head back to the dorms and you yourself take it easy."

Merlin stated, placing his right hand onto Hedlestones left shoulder. Mr. Hedlestone looked a bit hesitant to agree, however after a single reassuring stare from Merlin, he nodded and turned to look at us all with a slightly enthusiastic expression.

Mr. Hedlestone: "Alright students, you heard the Grand Sorcerer. Please head back to your dorm rooms for today and then we'll all meet here tomorrow in the morning."

He stated, before encouraging us all to leave, which we did. Everyone, one my one, left the arena, with the other students whispering among themselves and even throwing gazes towards me — some were stares of terror, others were glares of anger, almost like they were envious of what I managed to do. However the one individuals gaze that I noticed the most was none other than Alis' gaze — she was already for some reason very cautious and even downright nervous whenever she saw me, however now due to my display just now...

Alis had a pure look of distress and I would even say, a look of horror across her face — it was the face of someone whose fears had just been justified in one fell sweep. Alis and her friends left the arena just before me and Fritz, who couldn't shut up about how cool that move I pulled off was and how I was for sure going to become Merlins pupil in the future.
