I smash his face into an indescribable mess, worse than what the bullies went through. After every bloody knuckle I sink into his skull, I can feel his life fade. He’s…dying. That realization snaps me out of it a bit.

I take off and run to school at top speed. I’m even tempted to pump all points into speed but I suppress the urge. Whatever this is, it’s more dangerous than anything I encountered so far. I might need the extra points for a new spell or some sudden stat increase.

Better swap out spells too. I hover over magic missile but decide against it. I can’t surrender my new principles just because it gets hard. I decide to swap invisibility for magic shield instead.

I got to the school to see some type of lightning cage over the school. Police surround the building but can’t get through. But that’s not what I care about the most. I see mom sitting next to the outer walls, head on her knees bawling her eyes out.
