Elements: Illusions of Revenge (Book 2)

Doesn't Stop Us From Enjoying Ourselves (Chapter 25)

"Magic Council just sent me something," Scott's eyes widen in surprise as he scrolls through the hologram sent to him.

"What's it say?" Quill asks, peering over his shoulder. The only way they could get messages from the Magic World is to be in a Magic Space, right now they are in Ku's.

"Probably not anything good," Red guesses, looking bored as he flips through a book. "And this book I've gotta read for work is absolute trash."

"Ha. Any book for work or school is trash," Amy shudders. "Remember that book every kid has to read as a first year?"

"Oh gosh, of course I do," Scott scoffs. "It was so stupid. Every kid knows to run from Bologos! Only an idiot wou-no, not even an idiot would run towards one!

"Have you met half the mages in my class? You have, so you know some kids are a little," Quill pretends a cough. "A little...too enthusiastic to become what we are now."

"That wasn't even the worst of it. Don't you remember the part where they talked about being nice to everyone?" Red questions. "Don't get me wrong, being nice to everyone is important but you don't have to make everyone practice it."

"Oh, that was always fun," Amy snickers. "I remember mages in my class wouldn't be able to do it so the teacher would make them say why they couldn't and those were always funny."

"Only you would get a thrill out of that," Scott rolls his eyes. "I bet Rohan remembers how you had to explain why you couldn't be nice to your rival."

"Don't bring that idiot up," Amy sighs. "She calls me out in magazines and always loses in the games we have. She's just embarrassing herself."

"I still think she likes you," Quill claims.

"Ew," the three siblings say in unison.

"She has a weird way of showing it," Scott rolls his eyes. "She nearly got Amy killed with those sport games she challenges them to."

"Besides, I don't think she suits Amy at all," Red adds with a shrug. "Of course, that's just what I think."

"No, you're right, I hate her," Amy agrees. "You don't think she still hates me because of me ending up with her mate in school right?"

"Pfft, she totally still thinks that you stole her mate," Quill answers with a laugh. "You're doomed for the rest of your life Amy."

"Ughhhh," Amy sighs and her siblings laugh. "It's not my fault! I didn't mean to!"

"No one said it was," Red gets up from the couch and pats Amy's shoulder. "You've just got a charm."

"Amy Burns Powers Yanogi, Femme Fatale," Scott jokes, causing everyone to laugh.

"So what's the message saying Scott?" Quill questions, looking at Scott.

"It says Wysteria seems to planning some big thing to get us to her before her time runs out. Like a big finale or something. Obviously she's trying to kill us then. Also, I'm pretty sure Sasha tipped them off with those cards again," Scott answers, joining Red on the couch.

"Yet that doesn't stop work from sending stupid booklets to read," Red tosses aside the book and sighs. "I wish I could just be a masked hero. Not working."

"Gotta protect yourself somehow," Amy shrugs. "Also, since Sensei probably already got the message, let's go back to my place."

"That means walking from Sensei's to your place," Quill whines. "And we can't just 'teleport' there either." The boys agree with a nod of their head.
