Arc: “A true magic item, among the strongest of their kind.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJoMIisq7
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vvuSTFT1K

A magic item huh? I search through my pockets and hope I still have them. Inside I feel two pens and take out the scan one. I need to know what I’m dealing with.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPMk57JbzC
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszU91BVcVp

I point it at Anthony who’s waiting for me to deliver the first blow. Good thing, this gives me time.

*CRACK*446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXqLvro8Jy

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbtpTpeIs9

Purple lightning snakes forwards threatening to cook me but I place a shield up just in time. In spite of the warning, I barely could catch it on the shield. It even pushed me back.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6yaLkuvf6
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmpWMkdstV

Arc: “Idiot, it’s the magic stat you have to be careful of. Even mages who neglect their body can level cities. Close the gap, you can’t win like this.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPcEZn1clt
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxb8ORb1kC

I rush forward towards Anthony while keeping the shield up. Anthony continues to blast lightning at me but it only delays me.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHzuaAErNt
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtg9QYitQX

Anthony: “That shield won’t last forever!”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleFUFdiAEX
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fTE3zyJtP

Ignore it and push forward! I get close enough to lunge at Anthony with my free hand. I reach out for his shoulder, just one touch is enough.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZKJJrPA4G
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVzbcxfoXX

Anthony: “You’re slow compared to the King!”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8cUn940FV
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjecrNFcpMb

Anthony throws a kick to my side but I catch it with ease.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmpvl7B3jV
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcGwrLeTkb

Nao: “Checkmate, paralysis.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcEi8thu7Y
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFdaaKoJXP

An orange burst of lightning erupts from Anthony’s body.

…

Anthony: “What do you know, Artemis was right. I’m immune to shock-based spells now”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoLjwOei2s

Nao: “!!”446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bx9CsReJt

Anthony: “My turn, paralysis.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmeAP9DqVp
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H4P2TjgOV

I let go of Anthony’s leg before it erupts in purple lightning that would’ve knocked me clean out.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6AMVT0ScU
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWk6UIe2Eb

Nao: “Not yet!”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ1Sbq0hXU

I bite my lip and transform my right arm into a gorilla’s. 446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhIHLf1MUw

My powered fist sinks into Anthony’s face and his eyes go white. Did I…win!446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlkJ5KMkgV

*BOOM*446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CBMiGgzoQ

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhoS2M6taI

Nao: “GAAH!”446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9VELp43j

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2sbayy0hM

Lightning engulfs both of us and Anthony’s consciousness returns. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CWdx2N48W
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dwC9bx8Mg

I rip myself away from the raging storm and transform the necklace into book form. I need a new spe-

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZGDFfAQZ

Anthony: “You think I’d let you!”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9q3f5Lff
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjICbid6v

A kick comes rocketing towards my face. At first, I felt little but then a burst of lightning explodes between his leg and my face.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEefJJwZafV

Nao: “Gaah!”446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0L7VIDQRm

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEe84eQFu0

I grip the book for dear life as I tumble across the ground. Smoke sizzles off my skin and the nightmares begin seeping into my mind. The boiling skin, the darkness and…death…

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaH6R4Sgmo
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNvi2a8t1

Anthony: “Get it, we’re not done. And if I see you trying to swap spells I roast the rest of the students.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqJ0S44ejJ

Nao: “!!”446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIskZ0k9ZvW

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULCsizHXV7

I transform the book into necklace form and shake off the nightmares.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WgojWgjlu
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmadGZPzN4

Anthony: “Give up Nao, you can’t be me as I am now. Why even fight me. These people don’t care about you.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rfTLe4cDh
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8iYWYK55d

Nao: “I-I can’t…won’t kill again. I won’t make that mistake again…”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81S2CwBT5
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGxJqbZiGm

Anthony: “Tch, don’t play like you regret killing Anton. You don’t feel regret because you didn’t want to kill those bullies! You’re just scared of killing, of your mom’s disappointment, and of doing the right thing! I saw you! You liked it, you relished in dishing out judgment. Just like me.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ264IclUpKi
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ80RQ8AT5p

Nao: “That’s not who I’m supposed to be. It’s…It’s wrong?”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iGR99Yfvc
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs4dYhPm0Z

I feel a fist sink into my gut. I can hear the crackling of lightning but Anthony holds back from shocking me. But still, my knees buckle from the building pain.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDfj5MsmgP

Anthony: “*Sigh*”446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWun4JMdOV

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgBkS4J4t

Anthony: “I don’t want to kill you Nao, you’re the one who inspired me. Seeing you destroy those bullies before and even fighting the King. You proved that the oppressed can fight back. Be that way again, help me kill the rest off.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFXRA9kpZq
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDHzIJltoK

Nao: “You can’t…be serious.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP1r9xPtWD
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKcD0J1oGG

Anthony: “Deadly, I will kill them either way. Why not free yourself from your delusion and remain among the living.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmQeHH1jJ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZO4Tw4CY

Nao: “What…happened to you.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcCw3XAZZi
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKCtMb4Bs

Anthony: “…I made the choice to fight back. So, what’s your final answer.”446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqJGF0v7Zj

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXixLT9jLyt

Nao: “My answer is…”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQfVqQp264

*Smile*446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzbJZp9gIV

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2iqSetoMT

Nao: “Thanks for giving me time to prepare.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzD98YrQDm
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH0gGrsaoe

Anthony: “What?”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uQgXGI8Z1
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7e1oeaPrP

Nao: “Air bullet!”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xB5QBEvxE
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJOICVCU68

A powerful blast of air blasts out of my hands and into Anthony’s gut. He barely blocks with the lightning but the force was too much to hold. He’s sent flying back and that’s only the beginning.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNiLorJgb0
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p2iKFdRRS

I sense all the water in the sprinklers above and bring them all out. The hallway becomes a maelstrom of water and I drop it all on Anthony. Let’s see if can survive his own shocks!

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm66GIQ0ZT
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn80XQcdvBe

Nao: “Everyone run! I don’t know how long I can hold him!”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JcHxCQGM6
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLloWERsgFG

Instantly, everyone gets up and runs away to various locations around the school. I can see lightning flashing within the water prison I’ve built around him. I have to-

*Drip*446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ODuvsBoeD

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HXPZKyD1b

My vision is…starting to blur and my nose is...bleeding? 446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBh7L7QcF

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurLnpJJ6L3
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyN2CFa2BW

Arc: “Of course, you never used these many different spells at once. Your magic stat is only 24 after all. Should have practiced your offensive more.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmagzcrncf1
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpmq8hCN0Q

Sorry for being suspended and home locked.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEVrAogPJt
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mfut6gE7

I fall to one knee but I keep the prison active. At all I cost I must-

!?446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP3H5GyPqO

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz81VkiJ2L

I start to notice the bursts of lightning within the bubble less over time. Like a dying light, I’m about to snuff it out…

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWZrXMN3SF
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllA4E7HPXO

Anthony…is going to die if I keep him in there.

…

I…hope everyone found somewhere safe. I pray that Anthony’s powers are weakened enough by the water.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDMHgAAMX2
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7WN3C06MM

~~Kid, you’ll regret that.~~

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zvjy1n2UN
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBG9rVOepu

I release the water prison and the hallway floods. I collapse onto my knee in the puddle and watch as my blood drips on its surface.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQV7FXWk5
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzLQ5gfpo

Anthony: *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGZzkE0tlq
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdPjDtzBcz

Anthony: “Damn it, Nao. Why?”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8W11frvLt
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnH3EL6bWP

Anthony drags himself to me and grabs my shirt by the collar.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VEAJjPBdW
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtlNxF1Mhm

Anthony: “Why didn’t you kill me?! Are you retarded?!”

Anthony: “No you idiot, I’m just bewildered that you would spare me when you know what I’ll do now.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57FeEtlCfH
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63XslGxmj9

Nao: “Because…I want to see…a world where…we don’t have to kill each other.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8sxQ0D5Uk
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EmgM5r0vB

Anthony: “…I wish that could happen. But that’s not the world we live in. Change must be bought with the bodies of the corrupt. Otherwise, this will never end.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95vefE8A4
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWTEUoIubK

Anthony looks at the pen remains floating in the water. Hehe, I guess he figured it out.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfsWpESwdD
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgcrRGIg6J

Anthony: “The minor illusion pen…”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIhjCC5GkV
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoQaPNwEzj

Anthony: “You made me think you transformed the book back into a necklace so you could safely swap spells. Clever, but meaningless because of your naivety.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN3bGo8bad
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmwu2BqxyH

Arc: “Na-”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSLF3dxyPh
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KmaNlkSvR

Anthony rips Arc off of me and lets me fall into the water with a heavy splash. It’s…really over. Was I…wrong, mom? The game screen that’s been with me since the start fades away. I’m sure my blue eyes also darken to brown.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85BlmFtAXs
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbQs4UUfws

Anthony: “I’m sorry it had to end like this, but I won’t stop here. I’ll have my vengeance and more. With Artemis and…”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8tlG9IxNm
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSQrsy9DlF

Anthony puts on the necklace and at first, horror paints his face. But he quickly passes that trail and fully accepts Arc. Even I can hear the sound of my defeat.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhLhdi3y3O
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSIToCb0J7

“ArchMage system activated, 98^th user registered. Hello, Anthony.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigQBbXKyRe
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7zBOgHYpJ

Anthony: “….with Arc. Once again you inspire me Nao. I’ll still have our vengeance but I won’t stop there. There are more people like Anton out there and I’ll be sure to kill them all.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpU7lfqleV
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQwcHyoTMS

Nao: “And…after that?”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkqPZxU6La
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa77RSd9oY

Anthony: “….Depends on Artemis but I hope to build a world where people like me will never have to suffer again. Is that so wrong Nao? If you’re allowed to change the world for the better, why can’t I?”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1WpTGDvC
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VJpDaAxUN

Nao: “…”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbl3PRmd3k

I don’t know. My mind blanks and my consciousness begins to fade.

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWocEfGsnlN
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBW9QIEL4U

Anthony: “Goodbye Nao, I hope you survive these wounds to see the new world with me.”

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpTokEbxhV
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ZIhnkijD

I close my enemies and accept my failure. I’m sorry Alyson…Mom…Arc…

I’m back in that same darkness that consumes my being. But this time…it’s not as oppressive as before.

~~Doesn’t matter right now. Tell me, do you want to stop Anthony?~~

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEbDxR61bG
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCyrSFvAF

…I don’t know. Do I even have the right? Do I have to kill him? Won’t mom be disappointed? Won’t I betray the path I’ve chosen? I’m…so confused…

446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfJlajNQTv
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx8cz9uCXx

~~Again, that’s all extra. Let me spell it out this way. Do you want your family to die?~~

Instantly, light fills the void and I’m…enveloped by it’s brilliance.

My body isn’t my own anymore. It shifts and grows into a similar form. It raises from the water reborn, brimming with power beyond reason. My eyes open to reveal a pure white instead of brown or blue.
