Chapter 103
With Remillia, Rex, and Josh finally joining the fray, the tide of the battle quickly turned. The remaining students, already worn down from their relentless assault on Whitney and Ezekiel, were no match for the fresh reinforcements. The clash of magic and steel was short-lived as the three swiftly subdued their opponents.
Whitney and Ezekiel, utterly spent from the earlier fight, slumped down on the ground, catching their breath as they watched the chaos unfold. The students who had attacked them now lay scattered around the area, groaning in pain and unable to continue the fight.
The leader of the group, however, remained standing, though just barely. His eyes darted around in desperation, realizing that his plan had backfired spectacularly. He was visibly trembling, sweat dripping down his forehead as he faced the three who had effortlessly taken down his group.
Remillia stepped forward, her gaze cold and calculating. "Our leader tried to warn you," she said, her voice calm but laced with a hint of menace, "but you just wouldn’t listen huh?"
The leader swallowed hard, trying to muster some semblance of bravado. "This... this isn’t over!" he stammered, though his voice lacked conviction.
He tried to run but Rex quickly blocked his way causing him to stumble down. Rex smiled creepily at him, "What should we do to him, Remillia?"
The leader’s ears ringed as he heard the name, "R-Remillia? The Wicked Witch?" He quickly looked at Remillia who was coldly staring down at him. "I-I’m sorry if I had known you were Remillia, we wouldn’t have attacked you carelessly. P-please spare me and my g-group, I swear we won’t come here again."
Remillia thought for a moment while playing with her dagger, "Hmmm, I’ll spare you and your team if by the count of 10, you’re already out of my sight. Ready?"
The leader nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes! Thank you very much!"
As soon as Remillia counted "1-" the leader started to move but froze again when he heard the next number. "10, time’s up. Rex and Josh, grab their badges."
As soon as the final number left Remillia’s lips, the leader’s face drained of all color. He had barely taken a step when he realized his time was already up. Panic seized him as Rex and Josh moved in with predatory grins, their intentions clear.
