Chapter 3-10: Getting Rid of Plants

Falling through the trap door, the Night Raven College students continue sliding down and down to who knows where.

"MRAAAH! I'M FALLIIING!" Grim cries out.

"WHERE IS IT TAKING UUUUUUSS!" Sereia cries out.

Soon, Trein says to himself, "I must protect my students!" And calls out, "Everyone, brace for impact!" everyone does as Professor Trein says as he casts his magic, "Hrah!"

Soon, everyone ends up landing somewhere, and it's too dark for them to see where they are.

"Mrah?!" Grim cries out.

"Oof, ow... Yep, landed right on my butt…" Deuce says in pain.

"Is everyone alright?!" Trein calls out.

"I think I'm okay…" Epel says.

"I thought I was a goner!" Jasper says.

"I'm glad everyone's okay,' Briar says.

Then turns to Malleus, "Are you okay?"

Malleus nods in response.

"Looks like those who couldn't handle their own landing are unharmed thanks to Professor Trein," Azul says, "Nicely done, Professor! Naturally, I landed fine on my own by applying a bit of wind magic."

"Is this REALLY the time to be sucking up?" Idia asks.

Soon, the fire lotuses begin blooming in the location where they ended up, revealing to be a kind of tunnel.

"I see the fire lotuses have reached here as well," Malleus says.

"Where are we, anyway? There are way more flowers down here!' Ruggie asks.

"They're covering everything... It's as if the ground is on fire," Riddle says.

"So that was his plan? Drop us into a pit of flowers to drain us quicker?" Jamil says.

Sebek angrily says, "How cowardly can that human be?!"

"We have to do something about the flowers. We cannot let them get Malleus again," Silver says.

"But they grow by absorbing magic. You can't use magic to destroy them," Malleus says, "How will you handle them?"

Rook chuckles, "Heh heh heh. It might not occur to you, considering the abundance of magic you were born with… But non-mages have their own methods for getting rid of plants."

"Getting rid of plants?" Malleus questions, but quickly understands, "Oh, I think I see what you're getting at."

Confused, Grim asks, "Wanna fill in the rest of us?!"

"I think what he means is…" Epel says and whispers.

After hearing it, Grim nods, "Uh-huh, okay... Well, that's simple enough. Even I can do that."

"It's a laborious task, but it needs doing," Malleus says.

"All right. Is everyone ready?" Trein asks.

"If we don't want these plants to suck up all our magic… THEN IT'S TIME TO GET PICKIN'!" Grim says.

And with that, everyone begins picking up the flowers one by one.
