Chapter 40 Symbols On The Feet
As long as her attention was drawn away from the others, he didn't mind. He couldn't afford any casualties for what he had caused.
"Bring it on." He brought his hand forward, with a quick flick of his fingers.

His eyes captured the view of its left arm.
Straightening her back, she advanced towards him with an improved speed.

He took in the intricate designs on its legs, there several symbols which had been inscribed on its ankles. They glowed with each huge step it took.
There were some symbols that caught his attention, the numerous symbols that showed magic circles and weird runic symbols. But one in particular was eye catching, it showed fangs, with a drip of what could only be assumed as blood trailing from the fang.
'Lank! That's definitely Lank's symbol.'
Nix's eyes widened in realization, that would explain how it could have easily defeated his mates. It had drained them of their gifts, leaving them frail and without a means of defending themselves.
'It really is possible.'
The truth found in the scroll were all starting to make some sense to him.
There was no way he would allow his gift to be taken.
Nix did a backflip, jumping onto the fallen metal statues.
"I assume you know what you have to do!" He yelled enough for Lumina to catch on. "I wouldn't want more people witnessing this."
[Gift: Fire deactivated]
She furrowed her brows at his words, she didn't still quite get what he meant. Then it clicked.
Looking to her side and to those who had their concentration on the battle. They were distracted enough for her to use her gift on them.
She had a smirk, seeing them interlock their hands and forming a chain in front of the building, only made her motive easier.
'This isn't the first time I've broken academy rule number one.' She shrugged.
Rubbing her palms together, she tapped one of them on the shoulder, "hello!" She flashed a bright smile.
The person in question felt the sensation piercing every bit of his body from his shoulder.
The other students experienced violent spasms as the wave of the current flowed through their interlocked fingers. Falling to the ground with a thud, they groaned in pain before their bodies went numb.
The barrier surrounding the school crumbled.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, casting a regretful look at them. "You would recover from this in a few hours."
Lumina gave a thumbs up towards Nix, she had fulfilled her end of the bargain.
Nodding his head, he could finally level the playing field in his favor.
[Passive gift: Telekinesis in effect]
This gift was the only one which had made a form of effect on it. Switching was the best option at the moment.
Agatha let out a screech in anger and frustration, all she wanted was a way of taking his gift, he was the one who had a great deal of use to her.
The inability to get to him only made her conscious of how slow she was in comparison to the little prey who kept slipping out of her hands.
'An aesthetic, maybe?' Nix had noticed it couldn't make use of the wings. He was glad he had little to worry about when it came to things of this sort, unlike Raiken who gave him a hard time
In place of its speed, it made up for it with its lazers.
Zzzzzzznnnn!
He couldn't afford to be hit by the lazers. Judging from what was going on, it didn't hurt when a person was hit by the lasers, but rather they were stripped of something much more valuable to them– their gift or power.
[Passive gift: Telekinetic field in effect]
Deflecting the rays, he simply walked away from it, buying himself enough time to complete the quest.
[Passive gift: Telekinetic binding in effect]
There was a thrill that came with this particular skill of the gift.
"Kneel!" He commanded, raising his hand and bringing it down. He brought it to its knees.

[Walking: 3/5km]
The notification popped up in front of him. He had to search about its body on those tiny little details, that way he could successfully complete his visualization.
He could only assume it would retaliate with the very thing he couldn't control at the moment– it's lazers.
[Passive gift: Telekinetic Object call in effect]
His gaze was directed at the spears in the metal statues' hands. They shook slightly before it got ripped out of their hands.
They were suspended into the air, concentrating their aim at Agatha's eyes, they shot through the air with a hissing sound.
They lunged into its eyeballs, deactivating the red glow in it's eyes. Screeching in pain, it couldn't move it's body to pull it out.
Lumina watched with wide eyes at what she was witnessing. He wasn't the usual flirty and warm person she had come to believe.
He had a cold look in his eyes, but what she didn't understand was why he kept on walking in circles around it.
'What are you doing, Nix? It's already at your mercy.' Lumina gritted her teeth in frustration at what she was witnessing.

Nix looked up at the statue, he noticed it had another inscription on its stomach. He dared not read it out loud, better kept in his memory with the aim of asking Mune later on.
"You are a tough one." He placed his hand on her thighs, feeling the cool texture of its body, running his hands he felt tiny bumps on it. Looking closely, he could see wavy marks on it.
"That's new." He observed with a nod.

Lumina's mouth gaped open at what he was doing, to her, it looked like he was rubbing it's thighs pervertedly.
"What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled out in rage. "That's a goddamn statue that's trying to kill us, remember?"
