“It sounds easy, but I doubt sir Reinhardt would give an easy task…”

  Rasmond looked at Ric’s fallen body, and decided “Alright, I shall give it my all!” He gave his glasses a nudge and chanted

  “Barrier.”

  Three more barriers conjured around Ric, trapping him in a box, covered from all sides, “Only the ceiling and the ground is left, just in case I should cover them up too and…” Rasmond chanted

  “Barrier.”

  And barriers conjured above and beneath Ric’s body, completing the barrier cube and trapping the wild mist inside. He raised his hand and chanted again

  “Compress!”

  The cube barrier suddenly became smaller like a box, but unbeknownst to Rasmond, the mist; which had not much space to mov, became denser too. “And just to be careful another layer of barriers is necessary.” He chanted again

  “Barrier!”

  And once again 6 barriers conjured into a cube shaped prison, “Now, for some space bending magic as the final defense.” Rasmond started chanting the spell, but before he could completely chant it, his focus got diverted… the mist slithered around as it ate the barriers and escaped the first cube prison, it then busted out aggressively and filled the outer cube prison too, slithering around and slowly devouring the barriers with its materialized sharp teeth.

  “What? What is that thing?!” Rasmond became flustered, it was the first time he ever saw something like that, even though he was taken aback, he calmed himself instantly and asked Reinhardt

  “Sir, am I allowed to use offensive magic?”

  Reinhardt just kept doing his work and nonchalantly replied

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  “Do as you wish, but make sure no harm reaches the office room.”

  Rasmond nodded and agreed

  “As you command.”

  He raised his hand towards the mist which was starting to break through the cube prison, and chanted

  “Spatial subjugation.”

  In a fraction of a second, the space around the mist started to bend, absorbing the mist with it, and shattering the cube prison instantly, the mist disappeared and only Ric’s body laid there, as if nothing ever happened, a moment of silence swept through the air, Rasmond looked at Ric, and stepped forward to approach him, but a thought occurred in his mind “Wait a second” He glanced at Reinhardt, who was still just doing his work, “Sir Reinhardt haven’t said anything, that means its not over yet!”

  He stepped back, fully alerted and ready to use magic, a moment of silence swept through the room, “Am I being paranoid?” Rasmond doubted his actions, but suddenly, that doubt was shattered by the reality, an eerie chilling voice, its tone deep, dripping with malice and hate, it started to laugh, the sadistic laughter echoed through the room.

  “Hehehahaha…”

  “What? Who’s that?”

  Rasmond was on high alert, he glanced around and spread out his mana to observe the surroundings before concluding

  “That’s not sir Reinhardt’s voice, there is no one else hiding either, That means... it is coming from student Ric!

  “Just one more step… and you would have been mine.”

  Rasmond was flustered, a drop of sweat flowing through his face, ”What the hell is that? A demon? No I don’t sense any demonic energy… what is going on!” the air became heavy, the mist once again started to appear, and the tension in the room increased.

  “Who are you! Identify yourself!”

  Rasmond yelled, his voice full of determination as he kept chanting his spatial magic, stopping the mist from spreading, and the voice replied as Ric’s body started to get up.

  “This is the first time…”

  As it was speaking, Reinhardt stood up and ordered Rasmond, his tone turned serious.

  “Retreat Rasmond, you pass, I will check those submissions later.”

  Rasmond was confused but still obeyed the order, he stopped his magic and stood behind the office table, Reinhardt himself stepped forward, in front of him stood Ric, or rather, Ric’s body, his eyes crimson, his hair faintly red, and his voice deep, filled with rage, it yelled out

  “The first time in a while! I finally got my body back! hehahahaha”

  It laughed, the voice echoed through the room, and the mist busted out in all directions, engulfing the office room completely, no corner was left untouched and the mist slithered around everywhere and the malicious laughter echoed.

  “I will slaughter every single one of those pieces of ####! All of them will die by my hands!!”
