Chapter 4
And I always wanted world domination
When he arrived at the scene, the fight had already started. The girls had transformed and were taking care of a yellow ogre. The pig tailed girl was using her music powers to disorient the big oaf. Suddenly out of nowhere ginormous plants wrapped around his legs and torso. He ended up resembling a big ugly looking burrito.
But what really caught the teacher's attention was the creator of those plants, the same girl he had ran into two hours ago. This girl was able to face off an ogre in a fight but she was too shy to speak with her good-looking teacher. Was he really more terrifying than a big fat angry monster? He really hoped not.
He watched the plants toss their prisoner away. But after that things didn't roll as well for the fairies. They were immediately hit by two attacks from the witches. It appeared that this was his cue.
"And now prepare for the worst!" The white haired one yelled. All the girls were sprawled on the ground, disoriented. None had the power to counter act her ice curse. But weirdly the ice never hit them. It was stopped by a red force shield created by numerous ancient blood-red runes and ancient writings intertwined together.
"Sorry, as a teacher of Alfea, I cannot let you hurt one of my students. So watching you freeze five of them without interfering is out of the question." He could easily see the witches' shock after witnessing their spell's failure. Wow, these girls were really big headed. Did they really think their puny spell was a match to a magic teacher? Especially a black mage. Ridiculous.
"Be certain, that I'll personally make sure that your little stunt tonight will be reported to my superiors, and that includes your principal." he made sure to stare them down before teleporting the young fairies and him in a flash of red. The witches were still staring astonished their way even after the group had disappeared.
The students and their teacher all reappeared safe and sound in the middle of Alfea's courtyard. Except the red head who was still trapped in ice. Darkell turned to the girls who were slowly but surely getting up and taking in their surroundings. They all had powerful but completely different auras. The Solaria princess appeared to be the only one with heat magic. She will have to do.
"You, could you please melt the ice around your school mate." Her friend in distress and the teacher's charming smile was enough to make her run to her friend and work her magic.
A few minutes later, most of the ice had melted away and the shivering girl was coming back to her senses. Stella was telling comforting words.
"Bloom, it's okay, you're safe now. You know for an earthling I must admit you did very well. You were really brave..."
But she was cut off by her three angry friends.
"STELLA!" She turned around and looked sheepishly at her frowning roommates and curious teacher. The nature fairy was the one to speak up for the whole group her hands placed on her hips looking down sternly at the blond. "Is there anything we should know about Bloom of Callisto?"
She sighed loudly, she was going to have to tell the truth, no point in lying anymore.
"Don't worry, I'll explain everything later."
"I think that the explanations will be needed now." Professor Darkell calmly informed the two girls, since Bloom had woken up during the conversation while he pointed a finger at something behind her. The headmistress and her head of discipline were heading their way. Probably searching for answers.
"Do you have any idea what time it is!?" asked a furious Griselda.
"Ladies we were worried sick. I'm just happy that Professor Darkell was able to get you back home. His report will help us decide on your punishment. Now go to bed immediately. We will discuss this tomorrow."
But before they could enter the building, Griselda stopped Bloom.
"Wait Princess Verenda, isn't there something you forgot to tell us?"
"Alright, my name is Bloom and I'm from Earth..."
"Hah, I knew you were an impostor all along!" Griselda declared loudly.
But Faragonda came to stand next to Bloom. "You're from Earth but you must be a magical creature if the barrier let you through. Now Bloom, why didn't you tell us your real name?" And that is when Stella added herself to the conversation.
"Mam it was all my idea you see..." But her red friend didn't let her finish and take the blame.
"I beg you, please don't send me away, I always wanted to be a fairy and my dream can finally come true!" she pleaded to the older woman. While that was happening professor Darkell was standing a few feet away from the conversation, on the four other girls' left. He couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes at the girl's dramatics and muttered under his breath. "And I always wanted world domination but instead I'm stuck teaching in this hell whole. You don't see me complaining about it."However he immediately felt a hostile tension emitting from the aura of the fairy next to him. It was that caramel skin one. She was trying to make him believe she hadn't heard a thing but she was failing miserably. How could he be so stupid and let his perfect disguise slip.
The only way he was getting out of here was if the Headmistress thought he had changed, but for that he needed the trust of the staff and the students. Every one of them. But this was not the old times anymore, he couldn't kill off every pesky fairy in his way. No now he could only depend on his good acting and manipulation skills. How was he going to get rid of this problem?
However, his thoughts were put to a stop by the sudden absence of the nature fairy's aura, they had been sent to their rooms. He hoped that she would keep what she heard to herself until he could talk to her tomorrow. He went to join his colleagues' discussion.
"I don't understand, I thought there weren't anymore fairies left on Earth" Faragonda asked herself.
"Me too." Agreed Griselda.
They both turned to the only male of the group.
"Oh I can assure you. If Bloom was an earth fairy I would have known. I did hunt them down in my early days."
"Well then who is Bloom?"
