The Sun shined upon the Earth, its rays glistening off of the windows of the large Academy below. Annika hovered above the school with a large, silver, sword placed infront of her body with its blade facing the ground. She placed both hands on the round pommel of its hilt. The Firsts had been ordered to protect the Academy from outsiders such as Amaris' Ward, or Anonas and Lin. Agatha felt her presence the moment she stepped into the Abandoned realm, which Anonas purposefully released out of spite. Agatha glanced at Iria, who remained by her side despite knowing her real identity. She followed Iria's intent gaze to Amaris sitting on a bench next to Alice in the courtyard below. Iria frowned slightly at the sight, she glanced at Agatha from the corner of her eye. She had sensed the imposter's eyes piercing through the side of her head. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAixXY05HXqr
278Please respect copyright.PENANA7XFAwfIF1Z
278Please respect copyright.PENANAIdxVMs6FnO
"Why are you watching Amaris?" Agatha unintentionally wondered aloud before covering her mouth. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAA8tdKg2ADj
278Please respect copyright.PENANAgoDDwSBbuQ
278Please respect copyright.PENANA1aHZNtTwkQ
Iria looked her up and down in disgust, "I must be going, Agatha," she walked towards the door, "I have important matters to attend to." 278Please respect copyright.PENANAHpzjIxopIS
278Please respect copyright.PENANAyq2ctTpHK7
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4KaXjTwMyc
Agatha rolled her eyes when she turned her back to her, "Yes, of course, have a nice day." She looked through the window.278Please respect copyright.PENANACGatZQA6la
278Please respect copyright.PENANA19FzFEHoeO
278Please respect copyright.PENANAh6CBIS5TXa
Her eyes traveled from Amaris to Alice then to Hanako, she couldn't help but pity the poor girls. For they had to experience an unimagineable suffering of fates that only benefitted the Gods of Time.278Please respect copyright.PENANA7OabDUXABM
278Please respect copyright.PENANAkYcAJi7x1r
278Please respect copyright.PENANAfs4C0W2KJk
Alice glanced at Amaris, "Why are you sitting by me?" She questioned in annoyance with an unopened leather book placed in her lap.278Please respect copyright.PENANA1PX8RxvvBJ
278Please respect copyright.PENANAcADWWjNoPl
278Please respect copyright.PENANAtkb17dcj1Y
"I am waiting for Iria." Amaris chimed as her eyes scanned the courtyard for the Goddess of Spite. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAzRiAL5V972
278Please respect copyright.PENANAa8rcsxxqCQ
278Please respect copyright.PENANAJbyT4VdTio
Amaris noticed the book in her lap, what an odd development in Tempus' schemes she thought to herself. The book came from deep within Tartaros, but how did Agatha retrieve it from its depths? Why did Alice now have the Anonas Book of a Thousand Creations?278Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Gin4DMsf
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYagmQpig65
278Please respect copyright.PENANANsY4Dg7cQL
Alice scoffed, "Please, she does not like you. She most likely believes that you are a complete and utter idiot." She mused.278Please respect copyright.PENANAdIq4CKDQNY
278Please respect copyright.PENANAVVD0LgdTJ3
278Please respect copyright.PENANAIOBv741ZyP
Amaris hummed to herself, focusing her attention back to finding Iria, "I heard she needed an extra member for her little science club." She stated happily with a mischevious grin.278Please respect copyright.PENANAMM5Zg3Ega8
278Please respect copyright.PENANAoTYwHfxlyd
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHGaPwMlQLo
"Why are you joining? I did not know the almighty Amaris liked advanced chemistry." Alice retorted as she looked up at Annika floating above the courtyard.278Please respect copyright.PENANAqptaebBovB
278Please respect copyright.PENANAtWY9snqJ6n
278Please respect copyright.PENANAlhqkiFe6wQ
"I do not have to take a normal science class if I join Iria's physics club." Amaris smirked.278Please respect copyright.PENANARcQEkdWKDV
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzA4JJrvElw
278Please respect copyright.PENANAEvJvFdbF3C
Alice pinched the bridge of her nose, "Chemistry, Amaris." She groaned in annoyance.278Please respect copyright.PENANAKh3q9nzw5G
278Please respect copyright.PENANAm5qeT4oxFh
278Please respect copyright.PENANABzGnOoKUIU
Amaris immediately turned her head to the direction Iria was in, "Well, then I'm off, Tempus child. Do not get caught staring too much, I hear humans are easily angered by such actions." She patted her on the shoulder before disappearing and appearing inches away from Iria.278Please respect copyright.PENANA5fMzfRDgCm
278Please respect copyright.PENANAiQM13pfzY4
278Please respect copyright.PENANALxVcL5Ym95
Iria turned on her heel to walk in the different direction, "No." She stated firmly.278Please respect copyright.PENANACmc1jAs3PA
278Please respect copyright.PENANAqINcIQkbIZ
278Please respect copyright.PENANA8rXos52xQb
Amaris grabbed the back of her collar to stop her from walking further, "I want to join your geometry club, Goddess of Spite." She replied with an innocent expression.278Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ0A6mi1JE
278Please respect copyright.PENANAhNQQhGPHEX
278Please respect copyright.PENANAM49lVVkFQH
Iria slowly glanced over her shoulder, "Chemistry, Amaris." She corrected her.278Please respect copyright.PENANAsaVrxmQoJZ
278Please respect copyright.PENANAD743rOzgyx
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHrK2NW90Y3
Amaris laughed as she released her, "Please, I will listen to you for 30 days." She suggested.278Please respect copyright.PENANAQEoSGui8n5
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZhmFrjvwk
278Please respect copyright.PENANAEb7zsHbSti
Iria rolled her eyes, "Are you going to attend our meetings?" She questioned with a blank expression as she folded her arms over her chest.278Please respect copyright.PENANARIxy9DrK75
278Please respect copyright.PENANA55cY7GysEN
278Please respect copyright.PENANAdLTcGlvvcg
Amaris smiled, "No, probably not. I am unfamiliar with biology. On Andros, such a thing never existed." She watched Iria stand silently for a few moments.278Please respect copyright.PENANALPAebfuht0
278Please respect copyright.PENANAL04F9ZYP6U
278Please respect copyright.PENANAwLz3DmaqoN
"I am sure you need credits from this, correct?" Iria looked her up and down in annoyance.278Please respect copyright.PENANATZK5xJQ2vO
278Please respect copyright.PENANA7B2ANn6l28
278Please respect copyright.PENANA610EQ9uh3F

278Please respect copyright.PENANAoupwFM7zey
278Please respect copyright.PENANAuj1bG3XHng
Iria sighed, "100 years of obeying my commands." She ordered.278Please respect copyright.PENANApdR2gAhla1
278Please respect copyright.PENANArcEwBbmtiU
278Please respect copyright.PENANAB6pN35sOAP
Amaris stared at her blankly, "I think I would rather take the science class, I heard it is an exceptionally knowledgeable course taught by a renowned genius from the Normal realm." She declared before walking back to the bench Alice sat on, who looked up from the book she had just begun reading.278Please respect copyright.PENANAyBXbqjWmW1
278Please respect copyright.PENANAEkcFrhc638
278Please respect copyright.PENANAoYALY0EkTK
Iria's face fell when Amaris and Alice started bickering amongst each other about personal space. When did they become close? Like friends? 278Please respect copyright.PENANAovmMDmPPZX
278Please respect copyright.PENANAujcL6R8csx
278Please respect copyright.PENANAqIR3CZSGkt
Alice stood up from the bench, "You are infuriating me, Amaris." She declared with a scowl.278Please respect copyright.PENANAdI5jjVV1JY
278Please respect copyright.PENANADd84RGS5OU
278Please respect copyright.PENANAlEm5r1NEY3
Amaris leaned back with her legs spread and her arms resting on the back of the bench, "I did nothing!" She refuted loudly, catching Annika's attention for a split second before she was knocked out of the sky by an unknown source.278Please respect copyright.PENANAyE8lxnUCXg
278Please respect copyright.PENANAtXeaI1xTwU
278Please respect copyright.PENANAxRLSy0UIeW
Her body crashed into the courtyard, creating a large crater, she slammed her sword into the ground as she stood on her feet. Amaris looked at the circle of golden flames coming forth before her while Wani came crashing down from the sky. Beatrice and Chanmi stepped out from the portal leading to the Normal realm. Amaris waved her hand in front of her face to clear the dust particles floating around her. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAUNAueTaHck
278Please respect copyright.PENANASzMm9VgCSa
278Please respect copyright.PENANAIS7F6KTtJ2
"Your Majesty, sorry to bother you, but Elam has requested your presence in the Normal realm." Chanmi explained as Alice coughed loudly from all the dust stirred up by Amaris' Ward.278Please respect copyright.PENANAg9HLog1Qqs
278Please respect copyright.PENANAFYaLBEgbv7
278Please respect copyright.PENANAwqfjJi02pj
"Do I kill this one?!" Wani suddenly yelled while holding up Annika in her right hand with the silver sword she once held pressed against her throat.278Please respect copyright.PENANA3HETIF768F
278Please respect copyright.PENANA0q4gr1REFj
278Please respect copyright.PENANAKBHiNDlSUZ
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice after briefly glaring at Alice, "No, not today!" She yelled back, which made Beatrice hit her. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAVwN4jtAwId
278Please respect copyright.PENANATGnbCxpzXi
278Please respect copyright.PENANAo0zxmL8s7K

278Please respect copyright.PENANA2kwN0sl4c1
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4IGcLaOEkW
"You are not allowed here." Gik appeared with an annoyed expression as he stood in between Wani and the others.278Please respect copyright.PENANA3U1Oew4YQh
278Please respect copyright.PENANAxW7R8mbfle
278Please respect copyright.PENANAmbKMlDL8XD
"Little boy," Wani's eyes glowed bright with a golden rage, "are you threatening me?" She sneered venomously.278Please respect copyright.PENANAL5YbXzi4du
278Please respect copyright.PENANAejldbLDA3A
278Please respect copyright.PENANABbDFs59VJT
"I am." A tall male with a large, muscular, body struck Wani in the back with a powerful kick. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ1soOOiJC

278Please respect copyright.PENANAO2B9iMLJgO
He had built a reputation in the Academy for being a great martial artist, his name was Lee Qiqiang. Agatha brought him to her school to use his unlimited power and speed for handling matters such as these. When Wani and Beatrice had their first unannounced appearance, Qiqiang had been on a mission in the Sahara. Agatha was certain he would not lose to Amaris' Ward during their second attack, although Chanmi posed a threat.278Please respect copyright.PENANAuwGPrTptqo
278Please respect copyright.PENANAUjL9hw05WR
278Please respect copyright.PENANApF7unGlx3C
Wani crashed through one of the many pillars in the halls of the courtyard, she slammed into a wall of lockers. Chanmi pulled a silver flask from the air and finished the liqour inside in one gulp. She crushed the flask into a ball before throwing it at Qiqiang's head. He caught it with his right hand before returning it to her at full strength.278Please respect copyright.PENANAo7ZG5OXD4z
278Please respect copyright.PENANAxNy50pVOpM
278Please respect copyright.PENANAz7V1AJLGBi
"I have been waiting to slaughter you, miss Goddess of Spite and the Earth's lover." Chanmi growled as they appeared one by one beside Qiqiang.278Please respect copyright.PENANAfS8sSTAkyT

278Please respect copyright.PENANAjT3hz7T6Tb
278Please respect copyright.PENANAy0RIA9uebi
"Out of respect for Amaris' mercy, I will allow this disobedience once, Chanmi. Go home." Hanako boomed in a firm voice.278Please respect copyright.PENANAPy0t9Ilki0
278Please respect copyright.PENANAp7WmbuPHFY
278Please respect copyright.PENANAGhvqYKuKLR
Chanmi scoffed, "Mate, you're hurting my feelings. My parents only taught me the basics in Japanese not your dialect." 278Please respect copyright.PENANABpRFIHoFJU
278Please respect copyright.PENANACrWAhXsbCm
278Please respect copyright.PENANA3pg8loNTOl
Iria sighed, "Let us end this quickly." She raised her right hand, facing her palm towards Chanmi before lowering her ring finger.278Please respect copyright.PENANAaBLkJ8dH4E
278Please respect copyright.PENANAv6P8T7zTXq
278Please respect copyright.PENANAMqcHbqXGMh
Amaris appeared before her, intertwining their fingers to cancel Iria's attack, "Leave the fighting to the kids," she put both Hanako and Iria in head locks under her arms whilst holding Iria's hands," "let us sit back and enjoy the show." 278Please respect copyright.PENANANVddZBfFOp
278Please respect copyright.PENANAwO2yzv3t2N
278Please respect copyright.PENANAeTOMdyprjX
Beatrice sighed, "Amaris, do not decide so one-sidedly. I would love nothing more than to gift you Iria's head." She declared with a smirk as she eyed Iria.278Please respect copyright.PENANADA9U8Xn0P2
278Please respect copyright.PENANAi94BylVizR
278Please respect copyright.PENANADyQCgrjOg2
"Is that so," Amaris glanced at the shorter being, "I must disagree with you, all who are fated alongside me are off limits...Wani, Chanmi." She ordered.278Please respect copyright.PENANAocdtENgAzC
278Please respect copyright.PENANALZDzAdtLHw
278Please respect copyright.PENANARpILNW1AJD
Hanako scoffed, "Lau—" She began to speak, but Amaris placed her hand over her mouth to silence.278Please respect copyright.PENANAZBUoFVtVTg
278Please respect copyright.PENANAy80FtCSb0l
278Please respect copyright.PENANACj3iJYfWrc
Amaris did not want Iria's failed creation to interfere with the little spat going on before them. It would ruin her entertainment for the day.278Please respect copyright.PENANATeQy9gLI9X
278Please respect copyright.PENANAZLkgW3ThaM
278Please respect copyright.PENANApoApe9kuOl

278Please respect copyright.PENANAsOmZCcyPjw
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYtYa0kndDc
She could not contain the excitement flowing through her veins, who was stronger, her Ward or Agatha's Council of Firsts? A battle worth watching on the sidelines; one she could not partake in, simply because it would not be as amusing.278Please respect copyright.PENANA7a6XhF4UMh
278Please respect copyright.PENANAPa9L5emIxR
278Please respect copyright.PENANAcoLgvKaDEl
Beatrice unsheathed her whip of golden flames from within her chest, she struck near Gik's head. The thunderous sound of her whip cracking could be heard throughout the forest. A low rumbling ensued once the whip returned to her hands before being released once more. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAIYzNbgZ546
278Please respect copyright.PENANAQuozCqVPdP
278Please respect copyright.PENANAeSceHIEMag
"You are unworthy to wield this power." Gik boomed loudly, causing Amaris to watch him closely.278Please respect copyright.PENANAqSYbKaIkH0
278Please respect copyright.PENANA8HD7DeMdVv
278Please respect copyright.PENANAXFpbN5NmXC
Wani appeared behind him, "You know nothing of what you speak, little boy. Allow me to bless you with a demonstration of this power." She seethed venomously.278Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ0OvmXKQI
278Please respect copyright.PENANAKCq5ZTuDwC
278Please respect copyright.PENANACnj2JPXuUZ
A wave of black flames suddenly appeared pushing Wani away from him to put distance between them. Gik commanded his flames to engulf Wani, but the golden flames from Beatrice's whip repelled his. Chanmi appeared before him, stumbling in a drunken state. Qiqiang moved to throw a punch that she caught in her left hand while finishing the malibu sunrise in her right. She broke the tall glass over Qiqiang's head before using a large shard of glass to slice his throat.278Please respect copyright.PENANAbqk313yjMW

278Please respect copyright.PENANAhezX1moqjn
278Please respect copyright.PENANAMbAAwLicV9
Gik grabbed Beatrice's whip before it could strike him, "I prefer weakness over strength, Chanmi. For your strength blinds you from the reality of serving your Queen, you are just a pawn in her schemes." He remarked as he corrupted Beatrice's whip with his own flames. 278Please respect copyright.PENANAvbnmkE9UvX
278Please respect copyright.PENANA7HJRjyLFw5
278Please respect copyright.PENANA7YAIfXlZw7
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice, "Pawn...," she grumbled to herself, "more like the King." She retorted with a dark chuckle before kicking him backwards.278Please respect copyright.PENANAiMc1pi36GW
278Please respect copyright.PENANADKbCht7wFn
278Please respect copyright.PENANAsLHjFFzgUP
Beatrice chuckled as she appeared beside her, "I must be the knight then?" She wondered aloud as her whip's flames reverted to their original state after a brief increase in their oxygen levels, which caused them to turn white for a moment.278Please respect copyright.PENANAoBx7j51Mtg
278Please respect copyright.PENANAEHUBwhzWLq

Annika raised her sword, "No, you are mistaken," she swung at them, "you are the barely used rook from long ago, so now you must be thrown away." 278Please respect copyright.PENANA3DXnc7aP4y
278Please respect copyright.PENANAiIc0sPMwqP
278Please respect copyright.PENANAvpwFIk9qFQ
Chanmi winced as the air from her missed strikes cut into her skin, "Wani, stop fucking around and kill this bitch!" She yelled while also dodging Gik's horrendous smelling flames that he seemed to be losing control of. 278Please respect copyright.PENANABX4NAoPOUa
278Please respect copyright.PENANANucVuAkYgp
278Please respect copyright.PENANA9gdsAttWEA
Beatrice wrapped her whip around Annika's neck, "Wani, send her to the Death realm." She ordered with a scowl as she tightened her grip around her neck. 278Please respect copyright.PENANARWJf0JpQkB
278Please respect copyright.PENANAykKqk7iXR0
278Please respect copyright.PENANAferce0nci9
Wani rose to her feet with a blank expression before appearing behind Annika with her fists raised. She summoned her spiked, golden, knuckles to do as Beatrice ordered, but Qiqiang fist collided with the side of her head. His attack sent her flying through the destroyed wall of lockers and into the classroom behind.278Please respect copyright.PENANAMFjzK659S1
278Please respect copyright.PENANAC4q8Gnbb92
278Please respect copyright.PENANAr8tFjQE9IE

278Please respect copyright.PENANATSYtArZT3W
278Please respect copyright.PENANAJSbYHoVhUH
Amaris hummed while releasing Iria and Hanako, "No, not all. How unkind of you Agatha to keep secrets from me." She looked up at the window Agatha had been watching from.278Please respect copyright.PENANAqkmgtfJakQ
278Please respect copyright.PENANAasFx67RIwU

278Please respect copyright.PENANA8xSvxnyROZ
278Please respect copyright.PENANA2mID4maSAt
"Take a good look in the mirror Agatha's Firsts, we seem to be in awfully similar positions as pawns. Perhaps, we should form a union together." Beatrice feigned a sorrowful expression, which caused Chanmi to chortle.278Please respect copyright.PENANAngwUeV7AZJ
278Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cj1lSsp8f
278Please respect copyright.PENANARKB7kVShoe
Amaris patted Hanako on the back, "Laura would have destroyed my Ward, well except for Chanmi, but nonetheless I have deemed you all worthy adviseries. I will return momentarily!" She released a horrific heat to subdue them all.278Please respect copyright.PENANANMqecCJF9c
278Please respect copyright.PENANA71m44se374
278Please respect copyright.PENANAJDIzsVj7V3
Wani fanned herself with her right hand, "Must we endure the same suffering as them?" She questioned when the Firsts and students began to drop like flies.278Please respect copyright.PENANANg622wou8e
