Chapter 32: Taking Action
Angel who became shocked and worried softly said "Elizabeth."
What was going on with Elizabeth and her powers?
A lot of people began yelling at Elizabeth to stop but it was useless. Her powers had been used to their extent and with her emotions running wild, her powers were literally out of control even though part of her wanted to extinguish the flames.
The silver-haired boy began yelling "Does anyone have a bottle of water?"
He saw the Asian boy with glasses he patted on the back earlier was holding a steel water bottle.
"Gimme that shit." The silver-haired boy snatched the water bottle out of the other boy's hand.
"Uh... Are you crazy?! My water bottle's not enough to put out that fire!"
The silver-haired boy retorted "Of course not stupid! But it'll help me hold it back."
Before the boy with glasses could reply, the silver-haired boy took a mouthful of water before capping the bottle and holding it out for the owner to take it back.
The boy with glasses held his water bottle and shook it and heard that there was still some water left inside.
The silver-haired boy blew against his two hands, an icy air came from his mouth.
"Aight." He said out loud.
He walked closer to the fire and began shooting freezing blasts of air from his hands which pushed back the fire a bit.
Vanessa widened her eyes in amazement. He really did have ice powers! He was like⦠A male Elsa or Frozone!
The magical cold air clashing against the magical heat created some electrical sparks which made the students more scared.
Even though the silver-haired boy's hands were shaking, he did his best to force out more freezing air which created a thundering noise as the two magically generated temperatures continued to clash.
A teacher ran out onto the scene and said "Stay back! You're forcing out too much power and your body can't keep up! At this rate, your energy will combust along with hers if you keep this up!"
The boy with the dreadlocks yelled "Tai! Stop trying to be a hero and get your ass over here!"
The silver-haired boy flipped his friend off before running back so quickly as if he was used to running for his life.
Vanessa widened her eyes again. Tai? Wasn't that a Vietnamese name? Did that mean the silver-haired boy was Vietnamese? And the boy with the dreadlocks had good pronunciation!
The teacher began making a large force field which surrounded him and the two classes.
A female teacher threw a stick at the back of Elizabeth's head which made Elizabeth fall onto her face, lose consciousness, and the flames disappeared altogether.
A silence took over the entire yard before the male teacher yelled at the Leo teachers for not doing anything. Then, the male teacher turned to the female teacher and asked, "What did you throw at her?!"
The female teacher replied "Um, your wand."
The male teacher narrowed his eyes at her "Precisely. That's my property!"
The male teacher walked over towards the unconscious Elizabeth and inspected his wand. He breathed a sigh of relief before marching back to the three teachers and shaking his wand at the female teacher "I'll let this go for today. But my wand is OFF-LIMITS!"
He glared at the Leo teachers and asked "So? Why didn't any of you do something?"
The Leo teacher of Vanessa's class replied "I wanted to see how my students would react to this situation. It seems only one of them has any reflexes."
"That's not the point! You realize you could've endangered them? You're not the teacher for the arts of defense!"
When he glared at the teacher of Elizabeth's class, she made an excuse that someone needs to take Elizabeth to the nurse so she quickly bridal carried Elizabeth and ran away.
By now, the students from the Leo classes were thinking that they had the most irresponsible or the most laid-back teachers. Vanessa looked at Tai as he was talking to his friend with the dreadlocks. Vanessa admitted that Tai was pretty good looking the first time she laid eyes on him, but now, it was as if she was seeing him in a new light. Miranda assumed that he wasn't tough, but his actions earlier were pretty cool and heroic. He was light-skinned and had three earrings on his right ear. Actually, both boys had three earrings on both their ears.
Miranda noticed Vanessa staring but when she noticed her "real man", she had nothing to say to Vanessa as both girls enjoyed the view. Vanessa stared at Tai while Miranda stared at the boy with the dreadlocks.
Meanwhile, Angel looked somber as she worried about Elizabeth. Agnes couldn't help noticing the atmosphere between her roommates were split into two contrasting moods. She could see a pink background with bubbles surrounding Vanessa and Miranda as they were gazing in another direction while there was a dark aura surrounding Angel.
Suddenly, Tai's knees buckled, and he fell onto his side.
The boy with the dreadlocks knelt down and began yelling "Tai! Tai! Bro wake up! Wake up!" as he shook his friend's shoulders.
The Leo teacher of Vanessa's class told everyone to give Tai some air.
The male teacher checked Tai's pulse and announced "He's got some fatigue. Probably due to the power screening and straining his powers earlier. I'll take him to the nurse."
The male teacher instructed the Leo teacher to take care of both classes. The boy with the dreadlocks looked worried as the teacher took his friend away and Miranda mirrored his expression.
Vanessa was a little scared for Tai but knew that he was in good hands.
The Asian boy with glasses looked back with a worried expression as well.
The Leo teacher clapped his hands and said, "Alright everyone. Let's get back to the meditation exercise. Let's make a big circle."
Many students had unsure expressions on their faces as they were afraid of another incident like Elizabeth's occurring.
Just then the female teacher raised the male teacher's wand and began summoning colorful balls made of magical energy and moved them around as if she were juggling them. That made the students get into a circle so they could watch her.
When she finished her little performance of magic tricks, the students clapped, and she bowed.
The Leo teacher asked, "How did you get his wand?"
"Easy. I took it from him again."
