Gia bit down on her bottom lip as she tried to stifle a laugh. The scene before her only made her enjoy the thrill that came with seeing higher ranks banter or go against one another.
"Didn't you hear her words? She said you should all leave!" Her voice boomed.
The whole classroom went silent at that point. None wanting a confrontation for the time being.
Immediately the lower ranks began to disperse in groups, murmuring among one another.
The higher ranks however, sat back for a while and watched with curious gaze, they never intended to cause any discord among themselves, especially with Lumina.
"We do hope you know what you are doing?" One of the higher rank A of the magic users spoke on behalf of the others.
They all nodded in unison, and with that, slowly they too began to leave in the order of their department.
"I would let this rest, for now." Arion sneered, focusing his glare at Lank. "See you at the sparring hall, tomorrow."
"Whatever, fart face." He said with a mocking tone.
Cross popping veins appeared on the side of his forehead, gritting his teeth. Confrontation that involved Lumina, as she watched, wasn't an option at the moment.
"Have fun for today. You'd need all the help you can get." He said through gritted teeth, he glanced at Gia, leaving with the rest.
Fae let out a breath of relief she hadn't known she held.
"What the hell was that?!" She hissed at Lumina.
Lumina closed her eyes momentarily, exhaling. Opening them, her eyes had reverted to normal, "what part do you mean?" She batted her lashes like nothing had ever happened.
"Thank you, Lank." Gia spoke softly, playing with her fingers.
Lank looked back at her, his smile broadened at the acknowledgement.
"Are you two alright?" Lumina cut in.
"Yes!"
"No!"
Gia and Lank replied respectively. They stared at each other with a questioning look.
"Senior Lumina, you were awesome!" Gia's eyes sparkled in awe, with her hands clasped in front of her and her teeth showing.

Ayanami clapped her hands, to get their attention. "I must say, I need to thank you both for getting rid of those nosy people. I had actually needed you to hear this also, Lumina."
With a raise of her brow, she kept quiet knowing answering the likes of Ayanami would be a waste of brain cells.
"I had told you, f*ck off!!" Lank snarled at her, he knew where she was heading if allowed to keep on talking.
"I'm sure you're wondering where Nix was the previous night?" Ayanami rolled her eyes at Lank's words.
Lumina's attention was caught with merely that statement, "what do you know about Nix?" She narrowed her eyes, giving Ayanami a look.
"I guess we are going to find out now, isn't that right, Lank?" She said with a mischievous grin.
"I owe no explanation to you or anyone else. I have no plans to tell you where I was, when I was, or who I was with. I will not be a plaything for you, Ayanami." He was silent for a moment, but then his words came out, "If you really are curious, Lumina, how about you ask why she had waited and met with Nix this morning?" He glanced at Gia, who nodded to him.
Ayanami's eyes widened as she looked at him in utter shock. "That isn't important, Lank!"
"It did seem to be important when you were bragging about it earlier, Ayanami." Lank scoffed at her.
"I was just wondering why he would be able to resist a female, if it isn't that he has a thing for you." She grinned at him.
Feeling irritated, Lank growled at her. "Try not to act like an idiot all the time. You've had more than you can chew."
Sszzz!
Ayanami felt a hand grip her neck, causing her to gasp for air. In a second, she found herself on the ground, Lumina pinning her to the floor with a strong hold.
She struggled but could not break free from her. Gasping for air and she was still being held down.
"You talk too much, Ayanami. Lank was right, you are an idiot." Lumina laughed, her eyes glowing in it's distinctive jade green.
She let out a deranged laughter, finally getting to vent out a bit of her anger and frustration on someone, with the unlucky participant being Ayanami below her.
Refusing to acknowledge the insult, she simply struggled harder to no avail.
'Shit! What has gotten into her?' Ayanami was left with no choice than to shapeshift into a snake to escape her.
Lumina was quicker to react. She tightened her grip around Ayanami's neck, and quickly channeled enough current through her fingertips before she could shapeshift.
"That was a slippery trick you almost pulled off, Ayanami!" She scolded.
"Let me go!" Ayanami protested, "you're hurting me."
"I don't know what you might have done to think he has special preferences," Lumina whispered in her ear, "but if you did try to seduce him, I'm sorry to say but his special preferences don't accommodate animals."
Ayanami's eyes widened in shock and pain. "I never..."
"If you ever refer to Nix in such a manner anymore, consider your wings, tail, hind legs or whatever animal you chose to be, to be gone." Lumina's hand remained on Ayanami's neck.
"Lumina, please that's enough!" Fae appealed.
"You know it is funny that this is the height of a higher rank magic user," she chuckled, "Fae I'm deeply sorry for ever doubting your abilities, you're better off to hold your ground a bit with me." She said, as she released her grip around Ayanami.
'Why the hell did she go psycho mode?' Fae screamed in her head. Putting up a smile as she was indirectly complimented by her friend nonetheless.
Coughing as she was able to inhale again, Ayanami gasped for air.
"If I could remember, the order given earlier was also applicable to you." Lumina sneered, walking up to the window, "but since you're late, your exit is this way."
Immediately, Ayanami shapeshifted into a quetzal, ready for her to escape from Lumina's range. Flying out of the window, she soared off into the sky.
'You'll pay for the humiliation you just brought to me.' Ayanami vowed in her heart.
Gia and Lank's mouth had gaped open at what they had just witnessed. Neither of them said anything as they watched the scene play out before them.
He could clearly see why she had been a top student in the whole academy. She was rarely seen in action due to the higher ups preventing her participation.
He had to admit, he was quite fond of her for she was the first student he had ever seen with such power, currently with the exception of Nix. She was also quite beautiful, with a pair of beautiful jade green eyes.
"Thankyou for what you did there." Lank mumbled, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I wouldn't do that if I were..."
Crrrk!
"Ahhh!" Lank yelled, as she twisted his hand off her shoulder, forcing him to his knees. Lank winced as she held his hand. Her grip was surprisingly strong.
Gia and Fae let out a collective wince for Lank who was in an unimaginable pain.
"...you!" Fae completed as she looked down in despair.
She had forgotten to put up a warning about Lumina's behavior once she goes into this mode in which she merely refers to as psycho mode. It wasn't because she had such unpredictable ability that the higher ups prevented her from participating in the sparring sessions, but due to the fact that they couldn't pinpoint her trigger into a violent and dangerous individual.
This would be dangerous to the students who would be paired against her, if she ever went psycho mode, so it was best she was kept from such issues.
Fae on the other hand, had been able to navigate her way through this mode, and this had been one of the reasons she had been the only one to establish a close bond with Lumina.
"Where is Nix?!" Lumina's face was now completely white with rage as she stared down at Lank.
