Unleashed Power
Chapter 22

Gerald and Lacy were still surrounding the spacious school hall. They both breathed tired. They did not think the hall was very large. Look carefully, very broad. In fact, they were almost desperate to think of a way for his protector to survive to such a degree.

"Are we giving up?" lacy's advice.

Gerald shook his head for sure. Although he was almost frustrated, but he did not want to give up just like that.

Lacy looked at the young man. They are not not trying, but looking for the best solution they can not find it. Annoyed, the girl said, "Don't be stubborn. This is not the time to show off strength. For one person to protect this hall with a protector requires an enormous amount of magic energy."

"Not to mention the possibility of other groups trying to attack. Did you forget that the protector is connected to the body of the wearer?" continued.

Gerald fell silent. It's not a matter of stubbornness or wanting to show off. He just wanted to prove that he was capable and that no one would underestimate him anymore.

But Lacy's words have a point, too. He could not give up his life for that ambition. The young man breathed in frustration. He moved his foot to the nearest chair. His head was down to think of another way that was more fitting for him.

"I don't know what else to do" complained Gerald.

Lacy looked at the young man pityingly. In fact, he also had the ambition to prove himself. During the division of the group, many sneered at their group because most of their members were witches with the weakest type of magic and a nulla.

The girl was very upset because of this discrimination. However, he was again struck by reality. Instead of wanting to prove his ability, he was slumped for not being able to do anything about group work.

"What if we ask the Mage to change our location?" lacy's advice.

Gerald was silent for a moment. He was a bit doubtful that the young man would listen to his request. But what can he do? He just had to bury his ambition slowly.

"Ehem~what are you doing here, my adorable underclassmen?"

A voice distracts Gerald and Lacy. Simultaneously, they turned towards the source of the sound. There, they found Fred with the other members of the sausage standing at the door of the hall. It looks like they're on patrol.

"We're surveying a place for Levy's bu assignment" explains Lacy.

Gerald could only be silent. He was still upset with that senior who had feelings for Lacy. It felt like he ignored all the questions that were thrown from the senior's mouth.

Fred approached them both. In a happy tone of voice, he said, "Oh~tasks bu Levy. Do you guys need any help?"

Fred stood right in front of Lacy. The young man seemed to be casting charm on her. But, for some reason Lacy felt an uneasy feeling from the senior. An awkward feeling like hearing someone you don't know express their feelings for you.

Lacy laughed awkwardly. He immediately pulled Gerald out of there. However, his path was blocked by several members of the sausage who were with Fred earlier. He was forcibly separated from Gerald. Both of his arms were locked by the other members of the osis.

Laughing softly, Fred walked over to Lacy. He watched the girl from head to toe. She raised her hand, trying to hold onto Lacy's pretty face. However, he was stopped because of Gerald's scream.

"Never try to touch Lacy."

Fred turned his gaze toward Gerald. He raised his eyebrows. Meanwhile, Gerald looked at the senior full of anger. Either because of Fred's statement, or because he felt something was wrong from the senior.

"Oh, come on~ why can't I touch her? Are you guys dating? Hm? Are you jealous?"

Fred sees Gerald and Lacy alternating. There's no answer. Quickly, Fred held onto Lacy's chin. Confidently, he said, "I could have helped you create a protector in this vast place. No one will know if you didn't make it."

"Mom Levy wouldn't dare to punish me either, but-"

Fred pulled the girl closer to his face. She continued, "Originally you want to be my lover. If you're willing, there won't be anyone who dares insult you because you're just a nulla."

Lacy swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Instantly, the handsome face of Fred turned sinister. Every word that came from his lips sounded like a threat.

The girl's body trembled in fear. He has no protection now. He did not have his sword, his body became stiff, and his tongue was muddled.

Fred took a deep breath and closed his eyes. It was obvious that the young man was upset by Gerald's words. However, he could not ruin his image as a good and handsome head of the osis.

Finally, Fred tells his friends to let Lacy go. With an annoyed feeling, he left the hall. However, before he actually left the hall, he left a message, "It is still not too late to change his mind. I'll always be waiting for you in the sausage room."

Gerald stared at the senior's cynic. Rage mounting. He no longer cared about his pride or people's recognition of his abilities. He only cares about Lacy's misdeeds.

The young man did not want Lacy to make sacrifices by accepting the bastard's offer for the sake of his group. He only needed to ask the Mage to choose a place smaller than the hall so that he and Lacy would not have to drain a lot of magic energy.

...****************...

"Sorry Gerald, I've submitted the documents to Levy's mom. Besides, other areas have also been claimed by other groups. Would you like to change places with me?"

Gerald and Lacy were silent. All the places taken by his group were of a wide scale. Everything eleven-twelve is almost the same as the hall. Wanting to be exchanged for anyone, would only cause harm to them.

Both took a long breath. They began to despair again. All the effort that is thought of by them cannot be realized.

"No need for Mage. I'll think of another way."

Chief Gerald bowed. His body is getting very tired. He felt unable to take afternoon classes.

"Owhh~my poor little squirrel. I've advised you to exchange groups with me only. Nulla is always difficult for people, there is no point," said Kannon while looking down on Lacy who can only keep quiet.

Gerald whose anger had already peaked, looked at the girl with a very sinister gaze. He said, "Whispering. Shut the fuck up before I kill you."

Everyone there was shocked, including Lacy. Just this time they saw that angry Gerald. Kannon became speechless and speechless.

The atmosphere became quiet. Gerald went away and left those who remained silent.

Gerald set foot into the woods behind the school. His body was heating up because of the anger he was craving. A thin, yellow magic light began to envelop his body.

"Ehem, ahem~ didn't you know that witches can't just show their magic light?"

A familiar voice disturbed Gerald's calm. He became even more upset that seeing the blindfold sucks the man.

"Ho~ you look so angry? Is it because of me? Seems not. What was? You can talk to your uncle here" said Arnold.

However, Gerald ignored the man's words and returned to his feet to the forest behind the school. But unfortunately, Arnold still followed him.

"Do you have nothing to do but follow me?" gerald Protest.

"Oh, you're my job, son. My job is to make sure the students at this school are safe, and you're a student here."

Gerald narrowed his eyes. He could not reply to the man's words. The young man sighed, trying to calm his mind. He realized that he had acted recklessly by now. She can't think rationally because she thinks of Lacy.

Arnold looked at Gerald. Calmly, he said, "Follow me, don't go into the forest to calm down. The area is being isolated. You can go to my office if you want, if you don't want to, you can."

Gerald cring. She never saw Arnold speak softly to her. However, inevitably he followed the man's footsteps away towards his office.

Leaving behind a mysterious person in a robe, standing among the trees grumbled in annoyance at Gerald passing away with Arnold.

"Damn it, a little bit more" he said as he passed away leaving the forest.
