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. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAlgJAlnwkTo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAIj3TRarI3G
329Please respect copyright.PENANAXfoRDBMT1O
"Why are you watching Amaris?" Agatha unintentionally wondered aloud before covering her mouth. 329Please respect copyright.PENANA5u5xdmD89k
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGssO45PBwx
329Please respect copyright.PENANAW0TpvZwKrG
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." 329Please respect copyright.PENANAHQobyI4ag2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAw43mYuUZgk
329Please respect copyright.PENANAliilEbJYT7
Agatha rolled her eyes when she turned her back to her, "Yes, of course, have a nice day." She looked through the window.329Please respect copyright.PENANAfPUfnfiIC6
329Please respect copyright.PENANAq0VFX8sW5E
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtT15gHVSPl
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAsdYJrQBmBG
329Please respect copyright.PENANARzI3Xoy0RJ
329Please respect copyright.PENANApKLCFDexyF
Alice glanced at Amaris, "Why are you sitting by me?" She questioned in annoyance with an unopened leather book placed in her lap.329Please respect copyright.PENANAg6PncuRjUX
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtMeXYJmwoM
329Please respect copyright.PENANAsFVAoIlJ3d
"I am waiting for Iria." Amaris chimed as her eyes scanned the courtyard for the Goddess of Spite. 329Please respect copyright.PENANADViHELrTXg
329Please respect copyright.PENANAaERemn2rIb
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7vzUT3rWES
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?329Please respect copyright.PENANA1JwafG10kx
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2CilE4bZ0l
329Please respect copyright.PENANA3EYQy7x1iR
Alice scoffed, "Please, she does not like you. She most likely believes that you are a complete and utter idiot." She mused.329Please respect copyright.PENANABiLdE5EIle
329Please respect copyright.PENANAApmgel6KJ5
329Please respect copyright.PENANANuVzmEnBbw
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAxpalna1orw
329Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Ek0yLsEF
329Please respect copyright.PENANAUMcOpXThMJ
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANATBpp8ykn1U
329Please respect copyright.PENANAoGQdLZq2Nq
329Please respect copyright.PENANAIJVTh6MJjn
"I do not have to take a normal science class if I join Iria's physics club." Amaris smirked.329Please respect copyright.PENANA46arstKhlB
329Please respect copyright.PENANApoZT6VJtig
329Please respect copyright.PENANALhyHo81gTN
Alice pinched the bridge of her nose, "Chemistry, Amaris." She groaned in annoyance.329Please respect copyright.PENANAktHJZPJzku
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ8elniZap
329Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ8nSgx5d6
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAD6vghf4Ub3
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHMgpRarRhb
329Please respect copyright.PENANAVNcn0hPmAj
Iria turned on her heel to walk in the different direction, "No." She stated firmly.329Please respect copyright.PENANA5NkC5JDKjL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGNWrjxa9vo
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6O06NZX1CV
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAYMZtmB00ZJ
329Please respect copyright.PENANASQPqWV9fyS
329Please respect copyright.PENANAone1Va4ZGc
Iria slowly glanced over her shoulder, "Chemistry, Amaris." She corrected her.329Please respect copyright.PENANA1cn6js7aof
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJmqPBrLGpT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAVIEsTY9aNf
Amaris laughed as she released her, "Please, I will listen to you for 30 days." She suggested.329Please respect copyright.PENANAFqFOV3DMQt
329Please respect copyright.PENANAFiK54jlidR
329Please respect copyright.PENANAl3REEk65pf
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZ03TDPyg5F
329Please respect copyright.PENANALcsnnVbmeC
329Please respect copyright.PENANAKmMAqMFiW5
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAGoxySj6IlG
329Please respect copyright.PENANAk9Fn35rgTF
329Please respect copyright.PENANAbCv2sMGMpx
"I am sure you need credits from this, correct?" Iria looked her up and down in annoyance.329Please respect copyright.PENANAiRe4AUaalH
329Please respect copyright.PENANANDCejHtQP8
329Please respect copyright.PENANA3JTcvbXNsH
Amaris nodded her head with a innocent smile.329Please respect copyright.PENANAnWjeDF8Y77
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkKRvPcuqhx
329Please respect copyright.PENANA56otNfJh2G
Iria sighed, "100 years of obeying my commands." She ordered.329Please respect copyright.PENANAAoJKZOsnym
329Please respect copyright.PENANACKPQkFYhpM
329Please respect copyright.PENANAqSc8bunYVQ
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAU7QRRO3lo4
329Please respect copyright.PENANATG82In9snE
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5c9MfSFQz3
Iria's face fell when Amaris and Alice started bickering amongst each other about personal space. When did they become close? Like friends? 329Please respect copyright.PENANAuZk0YhaHYd
329Please respect copyright.PENANAyQCEkOp2wf
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYLBoIgqs1x

329Please respect copyright.PENANAfoQHg5v2lJ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGFhHZRH4os
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAxksn07YInc
329Please respect copyright.PENANAWukHhcg30d
329Please respect copyright.PENANASle3vsAHmE
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. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAHOkISgvVk5
329Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Fav8N4Rt
329Please respect copyright.PENANA4zSOTo2LXB
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAYERQymSmhS
329Please respect copyright.PENANAyvlK4EAVaI
329Please respect copyright.PENANAFShszoOgTm
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAXMJKevC94n
329Please respect copyright.PENANA713mQtQHk4
329Please respect copyright.PENANACrAInw1nJN
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice after briefly glaring at Alice, "No, not today!" She yelled back, which made Beatrice hit her. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAKgkprp3bRb
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwkumxZP1YU
329Please respect copyright.PENANAo4t2PFKxIT

329Please respect copyright.PENANAMHgtlAK4fH
329Please respect copyright.PENANA43li7f6Nqi
"You are not allowed here." Gik appeared with an annoyed expression as he stood in between Wani and the others.329Please respect copyright.PENANAe8P8E9kaEF
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1Hk5r5lagS
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzfLel5FOlz
"Little boy," Wani's eyes glowed bright with a golden rage, "are you threatening me?" She sneered venomously.329Please respect copyright.PENANAhSI36X7mYo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAmMIFVpR9yv
329Please respect copyright.PENANAIWzodcTBt7
"I am." A tall male with a large, muscular, body struck Wani in the back with a powerful kick. 329Please respect copyright.PENANA3wPVb9zjly

329Please respect copyright.PENANAqPitD0mdwR
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAHo05SKvMOQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfSG7lWVJeL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtoKGl0DGrj
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAvoxAiKOVBi
329Please respect copyright.PENANAq4rbl9F2ol
329Please respect copyright.PENANAVTQZe7WGEg
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAfADWGj51OY

329Please respect copyright.PENANAcbkrV2opkP
329Please respect copyright.PENANAA5hQspaBUB
"Out of respect for Amaris' mercy, I will allow this disobedience once, Chanmi. Go home." Hanako boomed in a firm voice.329Please respect copyright.PENANAFqyZpcJrLb
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkMDJ9UWuBB
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfG56bqBfg2
Chanmi scoffed, "Mate, you're hurting my feelings. My parents only taught me the basics in Japanese not your dialect." 329Please respect copyright.PENANAas1wVZkZko
329Please respect copyright.PENANA41I4LrNcBf
329Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsCpt4zdT
Iria sighed, "Let us end this quickly." She raised her right hand, facing her palm towards Chanmi before lowering her ring finger.329Please respect copyright.PENANAwY0ntZZj4X
329Please respect copyright.PENANArNNgxvKoES
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr0JLDWxGLg
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." 329Please respect copyright.PENANAdsv2S7Fuh6
329Please respect copyright.PENANA67BJ3PYM4h
329Please respect copyright.PENANA8k55EUPlZd
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAfydfWUXHPe
329Please respect copyright.PENANApD6MH9DtqJ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAa0PkIGujC5
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAJjMOwKJoEP
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtxDCZVIqc8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkPQXqTZiSL
Hanako scoffed, "Lau—" She began to speak, but Amaris placed her hand over her mouth to silence.329Please respect copyright.PENANANWiaSEOw0g
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZlwxncWzZk
329Please respect copyright.PENANAuT5N1UCnKD
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANArCVgm1mi0i
329Please respect copyright.PENANApjj59MOsyX
329Please respect copyright.PENANAXbefrLGo2p

329Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ9L6bPass
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2pToOu9rAz
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAXq9Fgwz7Fu
329Please respect copyright.PENANAyI8s6KAPqH
329Please respect copyright.PENANAbU3lngdMRB
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. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAKD90pwATLo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHRivuhLlyn
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdCwxEbGYxb
"You are unworthy to wield this power." Gik boomed loudly, causing Amaris to watch him closely.329Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ2vseuK9C
329Please respect copyright.PENANAl4NFlqo23A
329Please respect copyright.PENANATEqQU5eLeR
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAYhXmEKKqVd
329Please respect copyright.PENANA96OoX80Q1O
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr0WXSMUSkM
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAgYwc02Y4bf
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7OvWZOOmZI

329Please respect copyright.PENANA46jrdDmlsr
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Rn5Efxl1
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. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAvktKshv1b9
329Please respect copyright.PENANAXyJMAR702F
329Please respect copyright.PENANAWeQqXGLTIr
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice, "Pawn...," she grumbled to herself, "more like the King." She retorted with a dark chuckle before kicking him backwards.329Please respect copyright.PENANABJreWtJV2i
329Please respect copyright.PENANAED7haIc2MB
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPqEvkxQL8f
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAtevfkkusDo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAnaygHe00Uo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAxiD719y3m0
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." 329Please respect copyright.PENANAzDuHBSofLI
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZ67HGSgYfS
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJz8z6OMgOO
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. 329Please respect copyright.PENANA1TvjxgAX2s
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5WQjVK8RKx
329Please respect copyright.PENANATNqFmqYoM6
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. 329Please respect copyright.PENANALVXLRrKme2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHlXKQW8Y3r
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5DT78byWMd
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANA0E7NJ7ciSb
329Please respect copyright.PENANAWTNMJQ8xEM
329Please respect copyright.PENANAV4EtspV21O

329Please respect copyright.PENANAhUNndEzuyW
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAca4IrBzU3j

329Please respect copyright.PENANAm7kuDUwQXA

329Please respect copyright.PENANAisCE3Vvn8c
329Please respect copyright.PENANAf2m8Zv8iLo
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAMAQTqEMFUb
329Please respect copyright.PENANAivcbbaFB5a
329Please respect copyright.PENANApF80FCkaLg
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANA2zUy3QPakT
329Please respect copyright.PENANATspKgYLL5O
329Please respect copyright.PENANAMgYZkCYkjX
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAcvaVXVSeuU
