Chapter 298: The Song
"Oooh," I smiled as I looked at the ball of lightning in my hand. It was sparking furiously as if it was connected to my teammate’s feelings. "So pretty. Thank you for the gift!"
Clenching my open hand into a fist, I continued to stare the woman down as I obliterated the sphere. "Want me to tell you a secret?" I joked, leaning forward enough to be able to smell the perfume coming off her.
"That’s impossible," grunted one of the men, looking at me in fear as he retreated away from the snake in front of him. "Lightning is one of the strongest, next to spirit. No one, not even another lightning user, can do that."
"Look at you," I purred at him, taking my attention away from my prey for a second as I addressed him. "You get a gold star for being so smart. Why don’t you tell the rest of the class why you are looking at me like I am a monster?"
"You’re not a dud," he whispered, his voice trembling. "You are immune to powers. The reader couldn’t read you, so he said you were a dud. Evelyn’s powers couldn’t hurt you because they can’t. You held lightning, and it didn’t hurt you at all."
"You know," I paused for a moment, looking at my teammate. "You are actually smart. That’s good. You should be able to live a long and happy life."
"Miles," blushed the man. "I’m Miles, she is Evelyn, that’s Logan, and he’s David. We’ve all been here for a few years now. You are the first newcomer that has been placed on our team."
Happy that someone finally told me some names, I couldn’t help but smile. "I’m Lucy," I said, introducing myself.
"Yeah, we got that," sneered Evelyn as she looked me up and down. "We are going to have to report your behavior to Jonas. You will be deducted your meal for tonight... just to let you know."
