Despite being almost sure that Gabriel had the letter, Aira still looked in the direction of the young man who was the witness as if asking him if he was actually sure.
"He is trying to scare us! He is bluffing!" Yoan responded, clenching his fist. "This idiot thinks we'll fall for it!"
Even though the young man was slightly scared of the consequences that Gabriel laid out before them, he knew that it was a scaring tactic. He was sure that Gabriel had the letter! He watched it with his own eyes!
Aira nodded. "Before I go on my mission, it's only fair I teach an arrogant youngster a lesson."
She raised her left hand gracefully as if gesturing to her Snow Wolf. "Pin him down! Make sure to go easy on him."
She needed to take off Gabriel's gloves. If he wasn't going to take them off himself, she decided to help herself. As long as her wolf could pin him down, she could take off his gloves without having to seriously hurt him.
As soon as the Wolf received the command, it dashed to Gabriel.
Seeing the wolf run toward him, Gabriel also reacted. If they could use magic to attack him, then he could also use magic to protect himself.
"Strengthening," Gabriel muttered under his breath, casting a spell.
Even though he was only using a low-tier spell of light, the spell was even stronger now that he was a mid-tier mage. The Spell of Light filled Gabriel's body with strength.
Aira was a mid-tier mage, being a Fourth Year student, but it was the same for Gabriel after last night. He was also in the same realm at Aira, despite being in the First Year.
Moreover, the strengthening spell wasn't that rare. It was one of the most basic spells that almost every mage of light knew, at times even novice mages.
"Body of Light." He cast another spell as well, increasing his body's speed and agility. The spell also made his body a lot lighter since that was what he needed at the moment. He didn't want to show off his mid-tier strength for now, yet he didn't want to be beaten.
He found a perfect compromise! He was going to use the spells that even Beginner Mages could use to fight.
The Snow Wolf leaped at Gabriel, but it didn't call out its sharp claws to attack. It just needed to pin Gabriel down. The Snow Wolf could also feel that Aira didn't want Gabriel to be hurt either.
The Snow Wolf jumped in his direction, but at the same time, Gabriel also jumped, using his strength and his light body. Thanks to the combination, he had managed to achieve even greater height than the Snow Wolf.
"What?"
The spectators watched Gabriel jump even higher than the Snow Wolf. It wasn't half bad for a Mage of a Light, but when that mage was a first-year student, it was quite a good display of skills.
Gabriel landed behind the Snow Wolf, which was also taken aback.
The Snow Wolf landed on the ground, but before it could turn around, Gabriel grabbed its tail, pulling him back instead.
Gabriel swung the snow wolf like a hammer, using his tail. Being in the air, the Snow Wolf couldn't even stop Gabriel.
Gabriel only released the Snow Wolf only after gaining enough momentum, and that too in a very specific direction.
The Snow Wolf flew toward Yoan like a wrecking ball.
Yoan couldn't even react in what little time window he had. He couldn't even move, let alone use a spell in such a short time. He brought his hands together, protecting him from the heavy Wolf's body as much as he could.
The heavy wolf clashed with Yoan. The Snow Wolf was supposed to pin Gabriel to the ground, but he pinned the young man instead.
As if enraged at being treated this way, the Snow Wolf got back on his feet, freeing Yoan from under its weight.
Yoan stood up as well, holding his chest. The wolf was so heavy that his chest was still hurting.
The Snow Wolf was engaged and didn't want to go easy! He wanted to teach Gabriel a lesson! This time, Aira also didn't ask it to go easy.
She was also angry. She was going easy on the kid so far, and he decided to show off instead? If he wanted to show off, then so be it! He wanted a fight; she was going to give him a fight!
She stood with her hands behind her back, coldly looking at Gabriel. Now it had come to her self respect. It was going to look really bad if she didn't even get a newbie to fall on his knees before her.
The Snow Wolf roared, attracting even more attention to him. The roar was so loud that even more people started arriving here to check what was happening. Amongst the people that came, there were quite a few that Gabriel would've recognized as well.
On one side, there was Maya. She had just arrived and was asking others about what was happening here.
In the crowd, there was also Yann, who was laughing. "This idiot, he never learns. I thought he was arrogant when he went against me, but no. He wasn't arrogant. He was just an idiot! Only an idiot can go against a Fourth Year Mage.
In the distance, Caen could also see a crowd and hear some roaring noise coming. He was recently freed from his room as well, and he came out for a walk after being informed that there were no classes.
The commotion attracted his attention instantly, making him run to the crowd, wondering what was happening.
Another person arrived there, being the same man who was saved by Gabriel from Yann's bullying. Seeing Gabriel in conflict with a Fourth Year Mage, Zale was taken aback. He looked around, wondering why no one was stopping this!
"It's him..." Alexai also recognized Gabriel. He could only shake his head, wondering why this guy was always involved in every conflict.
He met Gabriel outside the city when they were waiting in line to enter the city. Even in the city, he saw Gabriel getting in conflict with Yann, and now here.
"Still, it's quite bizarre that no one is going to help him. A First Year Mage is being bullied inside the Academy, and everyone is just watching?"
The Snow Wolf opened his mouth wide, firing a freezing beam at Gabriel.
Seeing the attack, Alexai couldn't control himself! This was too much!
Gabriel was also prepared. He could easily avoid the attack, but before he could even do anything, he saw a thick wall coming out of the ground, protecting him.
The Beam of blue light hit the stone wall, instantly turning the wall into a thick block of ice. The beam was capable of turning whatever it touched into ice, freezing them. It wasn't a weak attack.
"Who dares interfere?" Yoan roared, seeing a wall appear, which blocked the attack. The wall couldn't be conjured by Gabriel as this seemed to be the work of a Mage of Earth!
Alexai stepped out of the crowd. "I think it's enough. Things are going too far at this point."
"Senior Aira is teaching a criminal a lesson! It's not too far! Instead, it was him who hurt her wolf first! Moreover, it's a matter between these two! You had no right to interfere! Also, you used Magic on academy grounds, even though you had no reason being a First Year Mage! It seems you've broken a rule as well."
"So?" Alexai frowned. "Seniors are supposed to protect Juniors, not bully them. You should look at what you were doing."
Even though Alexai didn't make friends or tried to get close to anyone, he also couldn't stay back and watch someone being bullied like that.
"You used magic, so you broke the laws. As your Senior, I should punish you as well!" Yoan spoke.
He was a Senior to Alexai in the Academy, so he could also interfere here, now that Alexai used magic which he wasn't allowed to! He could teach him a lesson!
"Lady Aira, you focus on the Kid. I'll handle this interruption!" He told Aira. He wanted to teach another arrogant kid a lesson who dared call them bullies.
Just like Alexai, he was also a Mage of Earth, but he was a Third Year Mage of Earth which made him Alexai's senior!
He was quite eager to teach this new mage of Earth what actual strength looked like, while Aira taught Gabriel a lesson.
He raised his hand. "Earthly Pri-"
Boom~
Yoan was about to cast a spell, but before he could finish, a sphere of light came out of nowhere, hitting him. The sphere was like a heavy punch that hit him straight in the gut, sending him flying back.
The spell of light wasn't used by Gabriel either! Everyone looked in the crowd, wondering who had used the spell. Quite a few looked at Cain, who stood in the direction where the attack came from!
