The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 119

The next morning the Salian college woke up with a wild gossip spreading like the fire inside the campus.

The new combat skill master Neshag had an ambiguous relationship with his student Emmettina and they had even spotted entering his study alone.

Talsha and her friends thought that this gossip might make things difficult for Emmy and their master Neshag. They were gloating over while coming to the morning class and unfortunately, it was again their combating class.

” Hey, how come the schedule changed, today’s morning session was supposed to be about Life Science right? How can master Rotrigues change his schedule?”

Talsha heard her friends discussing the schedule change but she could never imagine that both the masters had planned to teach her a lesson on behalf of the only goddaughter of the great Esbertrazian clan.

Alex and Emmy didn’t join the fun as they were absent for today’s session. While Talsha had her eyes searching for Alex amongst Jordan and Mike, soon she was disappointed. Slowly, master Neshag entered the arena with his two disciples.

Talsha felt weird to have a piercing gaze from someone. She scanned the whole students and even observed her master but didn’t find anyone suspicious. The person who was glaring at her viciously was none other than Kiara.

Yesterday during the shuffle up of selecting the fighting pair, she had felt Talsha was scheming against Emmy but she didn’t think such an aristocrat lady would end up using a cheap trick against her enemies.

While Kiara was glaring at Talsha, Houlson laughed, ” Why? Are your hands itching to beat her?”

“Yes, I wanted to make her run with her filthy mouth closed yesterday itself but Emmy warned me. She said something about Talsha’s aura having resemblance so she has asked Janet to check her background. This is my chance to teach her a lesson, if Emmy hadn’t gone to visit her house today, she won’t allow me to pick a fight unnecessarily. ”

Houlson looked at the woman named Talsha and then sighed as this woman who was known to be the queen of sparring would today meet her first opponent of real power.

“Attention students, those who all had passed the fight yesterday are requested to have another round. All of you will have to fight with the winners of yesterday. This is the chart of students, please acknowledge it. ”

Witnessing a sudden change in the schedule and now the competition, Talsha had a bad premonition in her mind but never in her life would she think that she was going to fight against a woman who had taken basics of the devilish training.

” Hey, Tals… your name is being matched with master’s Neshag assistant.”

” What?”

The students gasped when they saw the Talsha was set to fight against Kiara who had kicked the hell out of the male assistant yesterday. Although Talsha was known as the Sparring princess and queen of sparring, all knew if she met with Kiara on the arena, the clear winner will be undoubted, Ms Kiara.

Watching her fellow mates’ reaction, Talsha thought that it was not bad for master Neshag to put her against his assistant as this was the time to showcase her talent.

“Master Neshag, thank you for giving me the chance to showcase my talent but aren’t you worried that your disciple will get injured.”

Master Neshag sneered, this young lady was arrogant to the bones

” Miss Talsha, rest assured, my disciple will not disappoint me.”

Talsha took this as a withdrawal and openly challenged Kiara in the arena. She wanted Mike and Jordan to tell how powerful she was in the arena.

” Hey Miss, do not think that just because I am coming from the Ludacros family, you need to stay put. Please, I don’t want such a childish encounter. Yesterday with my classmate Emmettina, it was so boring to fight with such a child. So, please show your vigour and attack with all your might.”

Kiara didn’t say a word and nodded her head. Only Houlson knew, as silent, she is, her power will be more deadly.

Standing face to face, Kiara bowed her head as respect before the fight but Talsha didn’t bother that courtesy. This action made her classmates feel ashamed of such a woman studying with them. All the students were from well off families, so they were brought up with the poise and elegance of the respected families. However, today Talsha was behaving like a proud peacock totally opposite of a poised lady.

” I won’t be gentle and do not bother me if you get injured.”

” Same here.”

Kiara’s confidence made Talsha go mad and even before the master signalled for the match to start, Talsha started attacking Kiara viciously. But who was Kiara, for her to fight Talsha was a child’s play, First she thought that this woman would be formidable but soon Kiara felt bored to fight an opponent like Talsha.

Kiara hasn’t even taken one-fourth of her power but Talsha was getting exhausted quickly. It was purely because for the past ten minutes, it was her who was continuously attacking while Kiara was simply dodging or defending herself.

Finally, Talsha snapped and began attacking Kiara in unprofessional manners. Watching that, Houlson wanted to stop the fight but master Neshag stopped him.

Even the students who were watching felt that Talsha was performing the wrong moves which were highly unacceptable.

” Hey, do you see that Talsha is attacking with unscrupulous moves? This is unfair.”

” I am wondering if she became the sparring princess by these underhanded methods?”

Hearing the various comments by her own classmates, Talsha felt more embarrassed and turned more brutal in her attacks. Just as she wanted to hit Kiara’s stomach, her sparring stick came to a halt.

” You slut, do you dare to attack, huh!”

Yes, Kiara had Talsha’s sparring stick with her one hand and she mercilessly attacked the latter with the sparring stick.

Never from her childhood, did Talsha get such a big blow. The force applied by Kiara was any less and when it kissed Talsha calf muscle, the stick broke into two and the latter screamed with utmost pain.

Kiara pulled the other stick from her opponent’s hands swiftly making Talsha fall to rough ground. As the force was a bit more, Talsha had bruised her both knees and even some skin from her face had been scratched by the ground.

Master Neshag raised the flag in his hands and said. ” Talsha has lost the game and now the next two persons.”

No one except her friends pitied her state. Talsha was rolling over the ground and she was even cursing and yelling at those who asked her whether she needed their help or not.

One of Talsha’s lackeys went and bowed to the master but still, she had a foul mouth.

” Master Neshag, don’t you feel what your assistant did was brutal against a student. It isn’t morally correct.”

Master Neshaged sneered at this student, ” Now, are you in a position to teach me what is morally correct and wrong. If that is the case, I should have punished all four of you morally for spreading fake news in the campus. Talking about the fight, who fought in an unprincipled manner, we all know. So please don’t behave as a white flower in front of experienced elders.”

” Take her to the infirmary and ask her to wait for the letter from the dean to continue her classes.”

The four friends knew that this was a plan to teach Talsha a lesson and they decided to keep quiet for the time being. They took Talsha who had already fainted from the immense pain.

Meanwhile, Alex, Emmy and Juliet were riding a sedan to the clifftop manor. Emmy was sure that last time they had missed something here. Also, Juliet was here to find the other end of the pathway which Alex and herself had explored previously.

Alex was observing Emmy as he was feeling that Emmy had slowly started to hide things from him. Last time she even asked whether after reviving her memories, what will happen if they split up. As Alex knew that Emmy had some connections with the black enchantress and he wasn’t sure whether Emmy and Lady Vilmon had any connections or not. If they had, it would be sure that before Emmy lost her memories, she would have hated Alex for inflicting pain and cancelling the arranged marriage with Lady Vilmon.

” Emmy, we had looked almost all corners of your house but apart from Lamia’s trunk, we didn’t find anything helpful. Now, what’s your plan?”

” I have to start from the place where I lost everything. Alex, you have to help Juliet in exploring the different caverns there on the beachside. I bet you are also connected to these incidents or else how you could probably see those visions.”

Alex nodded and didn’t say anything. As they reached the manor, it was almost evening, and the sun was kissing the skies goodbye.

Watching Emmy walk in the front followed by Alex, Juliet had already started missing Mike.

” Hmm, I am so head over heels for that man.”
