A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

"Oh really?" Helena asked.

While the girls behind her got ready.

While all these were taking place, Teanna who secretly followed them saw what Helena and her colleagues were doing and became totally dumbfounded.

"What is going on in that girl's head?" She asked with perplexity in her tone.

She then looked into her artifact storage sack to bring out a Magical Recording crystal. This was an enchanted, orb-shaped crystalline object that the Magical Enforcers from the Law Enforcement And Punishment faculty used to record things as evidences.

A bright smile appeared in her eyes when she recorded how Lydia struck a guard to the ground using her powers, and how Deborah used her bloodline power to unleash a ravaging wind that caused a lot of damage to the structure of the organization.

"You will surely explain why you did this, Chosen One. Haha!" Teanna said and grinned.

She then continued to record the scenes going on in the organization.

***

Sensing Helena's determination which stemmed off the chart, the crystal ball on her scepter dimmed.

Then the woman who wielded the scepter looked at Helena and her colleagues and said "Why did you girls did this in the first place?"

"Huh?!" Helena who had prepared herself for a great battle questioned with shock in her tone.

Then noticing that the battle intent erupting from the woman had surprisingly ceased, Helena calmed too. She however didn't lower her guard. As doing so might result in her doom if the woman abruptly unleashed a magical attack at her if she wasn't ready for it.

"Well, I wanted a massive map to go see a friend that I wanted to meet really bad." Helena answered.

"Hmm. So, that was why you girls came here, to steal the map from us?" The woman asked.

Helena nodded her head.

Aii!

The woman sighed.

"I guess you didn't really use your brains there right?" She asked, causing Helena's eyes to widen with shock. 

"What do you mean by that, if I may ask?" Helena asked with a furrowed brow. She absolutely wouldn't accept insult from anyone. 

"Well, there are many ways to request for such a map instead of resorting to stealing, which is a really bad thing." The woman replied.

"Oh. Well, I was using my brain. It is just that I have no idea of how to go about that. This is my first time on a mission into the world to acquire contribution points to get something for myself and for my colleagues. So, I really don't have idea about a great lot of things in the world" Helena answered.

"I see." The woman said.

Then with her brows furrowing due to what Helena said, she asked "Where are you girls from?"

Helena looked at her and answered "For a lot of reasons, I can't answer that question. Sorry."

The woman broke a smile across her face.

She then said in the next moment with that smile still hung on her lips "You girls are from the training camp run by the Great Sisterhood society."

"What?" Helena asked with shock in her tone. Same with her friends who looked at the woman with shock in their eyes.

"I know about contribution points. They are points given to students who complete particular missions that they requested for or were given by the Mission House. And since no other place uses contribution points, therefore you girls are from the training camp operated by the Great Sisterhood society." The woman said.

"Wow!" Helena exclaimed with intense astonishment in her eyes.

"You are right." Helena admitted to the woman, since she had basically said things that only them should know about. 

She then asked in the next moment "But how did you know about this?"

"Well, I was an instructor there before I left to accomplish certain tasks." The woman answered.

Helena's eyes shone. Same with that of the girls behind her. They couldn't help but be shocked by what the woman said.

So, the woman that they wanted to battle with was actually an instructor?

Huuuu!

The girls except Helena inhaled deeply. And this was because they understood that if she actually meant them harm because of the terrible things that they had done, there would be absolutely nothing that they could do or use to escape from her wrath. 

Then they looked at Helena to see if she had the same facial expression as them. But they became highly disappointed to see that she didn't even gawk. 

Actually, Helena too was slightly horrified by that thought that flashed in their minds that if the woman was bent on totally destroying them, there would be no way out of the ruination intent that will engulf them. 

She however wasn't that terrified, since she could rely on unleashing the infinite and vastly destructive power of her Hrithika bloodline. Also, she had the Heaven-Burying scepter which she could pump Aetha energy into to unleash massive destructive claws that could cast it immense shadow over a large portion of the earth. 

When the girls looked at Helena and became disappointed that she didn't even have fear engulf her like they were, they could however notice a glow of astoundment in her eyes, which actually surfaced because of the woman before them was actually an instructor. 

"So, why didn't you return?" Helena questioned.

"Well, let's just say I became tired of teaching." The woman answered.

Helena nodded her head.

She then said with a sincere apologetic look in her face "I am sorry for the unbridled destruction that I and my colleagues caused to this place."

The woman then nodded her head with a smile in her face, showing that she had accepted Helena's apology.

She then said with a solemn expression appearing in her face "Well, as long as you all can fix this place, I am good with you girls. Otherwise, I will go to the Great Sisterhood society to report to Olivia and her deputy that the girls they are training are using the numerous magical spells being taught to them to wreak havoc wherever they go."

As soon the woman said this, Helena's brows wrinkled. Same with Lydia and the rest of the girls who then developed expressions of forlornness in their faces.

Then they quickly walked forward to discuss with Helena on how they were going to repair the damaged building of the organization.

"Helena, see what your stubbornness and crazy plan has brought us? Are you happy now?" Lydia asked with slight anger in her tone.

She didn't want to be sent back home to her parent who would be extremely vexed at her. She just couldn't take the anger that she imagined they would unleash at her, especially her mother. 

Helena looked at the girls in her cult and said with a regretful look in her face "I am sorry that I tried to use you guys for my own selfish reasons. I am extremely sorry. And now, I promise that it won't ever happen again."

"Senior Helena, no need to apologize. I will do whatever you say, as it is right to me" Lauren said with a smile while Deborah groaned out loud with a sense of wrath in her tone. 

"It's okay, Helena. We knew why you wanted us to help you steal the map. It wasn't really selfish or self-centered of you. Look, if I were in your shoes, I would have also done the same. So, no need to apologize." 

Helena smiled. 

"I know that you girls are saying this to make not me feel bad of myself for the horrendous action that I compelled you guys to participate in with me. Thank you very much. I am really glad that I came across you pretty, lovable girls. However, I still am sorry. And this would never happen again." She said with a sincere tone in her voice, while the girls around her nodded their heads.

Lydia then said with a smile "It's okay, Helena. You have apologized already. And I am glad that you have decided not to make us to do this again in future." 

She then asked "So, how do we fix this? It would be impossible to fix without giving recompense to that woman for the damage that we caused." 

Helena shook her head. 

"No, we don't need to pay her for reparation of the damage that we caused. However, I think we can magically fix this." She said. 

She then said further with a deeply pondering gaze in her eyes before any of the girls could ask her questions "There is this incomplete Temporal Reversion spell that I learnt when we were still at the Training Camp. If I am able to successfully cast it, it would produce a reversion effect on the flow of time affecting a particular object that I unleashed the spell on." 

"So, once I cast the time-reversing spell on the tiled ground, the innumerous cracks made into the ground by the destructive power possessed by the ravaging wind that Deborah unleashed, will heal up since time for it will be reversed." 

"Therefore, the ground might be restored to it previous state, the pristine state that it was in before the battle that occurred between us and the guards started."

"Hmm. But do you think that would work?" Lucretia asked.

"I hope so. Or we are doomed." Helena said.

"So, you mentioned 'We'. Are we going to help you in magically fixing the tiled ground? If so, how are we going to do that?" Lydia asked.

"Yea, you girls are going to help me in magically fixing the ruined floor." Helena answered. 

She then said further "Now, to do that, I need all your Aetha energy, as in everything flowing in your Aetha veins, s ince only mine definitely wouldn't be enough to maintain the time-reversing effect of the Temporal Reversion spell that I would cast."
