Review of last chapter
…Mana looked thoughtfully at the rod held by both her hands.
"But if what Mahaado said was true, maybe I am a spellcaster…"
She twirled the staff in her hand and smiled.
"Cool!" she laughed, running back to her residential building (where she was staying). Her friend Mysti was waiting for her at the ground floor.
"Hiya Mana! So what did Master Mahaado say to you? Hey…cool staff!" she complimented, happy to have some company with her.
"Thanks…and oh…nothing much…just some stuff…" said Mana as she and Mysti walked into a classroom…
Mana stopped to look around at the scene before her. The light clay walls captured the room's adequateness. It was simple and practically half the room was full of rocky furniture.
"Since you're new here, I'd thought I'd show you around!" said Mysti enthusiastically. She looked at her friend's solemn expression.
"Are you alright? You haven't said anything, are you sick?"
Mana snapped from her daze and glanced at Mysti.
"Huh, what?" she said absentmindedly.
"I said, are you sick or not?" Mysti asked again.
"No, why?" asked Mana.
Mysti shrugged off the question and pointed her hand around the room.
"Anyway, this is our 'form' room where we meet and greet everyone every day after classes" explained Mysti. In her direction were many students chatting and performing small magical tricks to one another.
Continuing, she said, "It's lots of fun! But…unfortunately, I don't have a lot of friends I can talk with…I usually go up to my room to study some spells or something…"
Mana looked at Mysti's sad expression with sympathy.
"It's not fair because that popular girl, Lily, has everyone paying attention to her! I mean, she's pretty and ever so cunning…and I'm…well…not as good as her…"
"Why do you say that?" asked Mana, facing Mysti.
"I'm not really good at attacking others…I…just…don't…like…hurting people…" she answered quietly as they sat at an empty rock table.
"Then why are you in this place if you can't handle attack magic?"
"Well actually, I'm much better at defending than attacking, even Master Mahaado said so himself!" laughed Mysti. Mana nodded slowly.
They watched in silence as more and more students piled in, chatting vigorously until two tall guys, a guy with long black hair with a strange looking head accessory and a guy whose face was hidden in his tall beige hat approached the two girls seated there.
"Hey" said the first guy, "Never seen you before, are you new?"
"Well obviously" replied Mana. Mysti, next to her was trembling with fear.
"What's wrong?" whispered Mana.
"Those guys are some of the toughest spellcasters in this school! I wouldn't hang around them if I were you! They could CLOBBER you!" Mysti hissed back.
"Are you afraid of everything?" Mana teased.
"No. Just big tall muscly men who look as though they're about to lunge for you" said Mysti. Mana laughed as the other two stared at them with a hint of curiosity.
"Don't worry about them!" assured Mana. She looked at the two guys.
"So what's your name?" questioned the black-haired guy.
"I'm Mana. Mah-Na. And this is Mysti. Mis-tee" said Mana, teasing them. The other two smirked.
"I'm Chaos. Kay-Ohs. And this is my friend Breaker. Bray-car" said the black-haired Egyptian spellcaster student mockingly.
"Oh very funny. Ha ha" smiled Mana flirtingly.
"Hey, you did the same to me, so I got you back!" said Chaos proudly.
"Anyway, see you later Mana! Catch you later…Elf…"
Mysti screamed in fright and dived under the table. The other guys cackled and left the room. Mana gasped and looked down at her shivering friend.
"They're out to get me, I just know it!" stammered Mysti. Then she curled up and cried.
"I-It's n-n-not my f-f-fault I ca-cannot fight well…J-Just b-b-because I-I-I came l-last…in the t-tournament…"she wailed, teardrops falling.
"Tournament? What tournament?" said Mana eagerly. And boy, did she want to kick some ass! Mysti didn't reply so she thought to herself that it was best not to bother her troubled friend…
Well…how'd you like it so far? Oh, thank you to my very first reviewer, EvilChick87! I'm deciding now that I'm going to write the rest of my story and submit it on so you reviewers out there better start reviewing sooner or later! Nah…only joking…
