Merlin stood dazed at Nora’s words. One would think he had not heard her, but he had, and the look on her face showed that she really meant what she’d said. In fact, she showed her zeal by immediately reaching for her Grimoire in her backpack. “You should go somewhere else, sir,” Nora said as she loosened her tie and unbuttoned her blazers. “We’ll find you when things are under control.” She spoke with such confidence that if she had not been dressed in Prestige Academy’s uniform, one could be forced to think that she was actually battle trained. “You really need to work on your sense of danger, young lady. Please stay alive so I can get my pay.” The driver instantly reversed his car until he had a chance to turn its wheels and zoomed off. Merlin snapped back then, realizing that he was now stuck with her. “Are you sure about this?” Merlin asked, his attention fully anchored on his sister’s intentions. He was not even worried that they might not see that driver again, despite the fact that their things were in the car. They were registered Mages in the Consortium’s system, even if under the ‘Academy’ tag. All they had to do was file a report, and even if the driver lived in the underworld, he would be pulled out of it. His main concern was with Nora’s determined gaze. “Huh? What are you saying now?” Nora glared at him. “What is there to be sure about? People are risking their lives up ahead. We’re registered Mages. If we can help, then we should.” Merlin sighed. She was right. And if he was being honest with himself, it was foolish of him to have placed importance on getting to the Academy over making sure that none of the people around were caught up in the crossfire. He had been rereading Singularity Mage for the past month and most of it was now fresh in his head. He recalled that the Troll and Caster were D-Rank monsters, so they shouldn’t be that hard to defeat. Him and Nora could just focus on leading those who were being caught in the damage away. The problem now was with the Classes of the Consortium Mages present. They were D-Class Mages, all three of them, evident from the way the accentuations on their battle wear was lined and their black colored Grimoires. And a single D-Rank monster possessed the strength of two D-Class Mages. And this monster was being enhanced by the Caster that had come with it. This was definitely the real reason why Nora had not wanted to leave the Mages to the monsters alone. It would be exceptionally tough for them. He had been selfish. “Fine!” Merlin decided, unbuttoning his blazers and loosening his tie as well. “Let’s do this!” As soon as he’d said those words, the battle leaned in the favor of the monsters, as one of the Mages engaging it was sent flying into a car, the Troll having slammed a mace into the side of his stomach. Merlin’s forehead creased as he froze, immediately rethinking his choices. But he was way past that point now. There was no going back. And he knew the exact way to turn the battle their way. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Nora?” he said, readying himself as he watched the two Consortium Mages left to fight the Troll doing their very best to hold it back. But it was only a matter of time before they too were beaten down like their mate. “Yeah,” replied Nora as her Grimoire flipped open and the wind around her shimmered with a luxurious blue luster, before gathering at her feet in a pair of small swirls like little tornadoes, and lifting her up. She had modified Air Vortex into a flight spell. She was one crazy lady. “I’ll join them and hold the Troll back. How long do you need to deconstruct the Caster’s spell?” “It’s a D-Rank monster, so not very long,” he replied. “But I’ll need to get in close. I cannot deconstruct spells I’m more than thirty feet away from. Can you cover me as well in the case that I’m noticed?” Nora smiled. “What do you take me for? Of course I can do something so simple. Let’s go.” Merlin dashed forward as Nora propelled herself throu
