Plan A

"Equipment magic Storm of Daggers. Heed my call." Breath steady, hand steady. I drew a circle and daggers came out. This time, they were more steady. Storm of Daggers requires more, this wasn't enough. I summoned more daggers and fired, all of them wobbling and barely sticking to a surface. I held onto my knees as I panted hard.

"This must be perfected before anything..." I wiped my sweat off before continuing to practice. Out of my eye, I saw Walton and Lara standing next to each other, closer than normal. Eh, that's fine. I waited for all of the daggers to fade off before doing it again. This time, everything was much more steadier. But it wasn't enough.

Walton came over and placed a towel on my head. He said it was enough and time for me to rest. I nodded and sat on the ground, giving him a small smile. Something about his expression was weird, as if something was disturbing him.

"What's wrong Walton?" I sipped from my water bottle as I waited for him to answer.

"N-nothing Milady. It's just that you have been practicing lots, you might get hurt again." I stood up and turned around.

"I won't get hurt!" I said in a childish vocie and went ahead. Walton and Lara stayed behind for a while, chatting about something before catching up to me.

Walking through the corridors were a problem. It's like we're back at square one again. I rubbed my temples together and using my authority as Queen, I commanded them all to leave. Maybe it has some perks to being Queen.

Lessons went on as per normal as the teacher went through the materials for the theory exam coming along. For the first time, I was diligently making notes and listening to the teacher.

After school, the good number of students came to my table, asking for extra classes. I sighed and stood on the teacher's stand. I picked up the chalk and started writing my notes on the blackboard.

"Thank you so much for your lesson!" The number bowed down to me and I waved them off. I looked at the clock, oh no it's my shift. Snapping my fingers, my broom immediately came into my hand. I jumped out of the window and headed off to the cafe.

"Make sure you remember everything!" Was the last thing I said before I went off. Whilst flying, there was this unease in my heart as if something big is about to happen. Eh, it's going to be fine I hope.

Right before school started, two figures came up to Serachiel and gave her a bow.

"Lady Serachiel, we have initiated Plan A. What are your orders?" The older one spoke in a prestiged voice.

"Crush her when the time comes. When the Supreme One purges her, he will purge everything. Including himself! Then I will become the Supreme One!" Both smaller figures laughed, knowing they will be second at power if their lady gets the power.

"Yes Lady Serachiel. Lydia here is getting close to her servant. We have learnt from Lady Serachiel when a servant is close to a master's heart and breaks off that chain, the master will go through tremendous pain." Serachiel nodded and gave them advice.

"If you want her servant to break it off, break it off during an important event." Which sparked an idea between the two figures. Of course, she was aiming for the competition spot.

"That's a brilliant idea Lady Serachiel. We will inform you when more information comes around. We will be taking our leave now." The two figures left and descended back into their house. Hiding their white wings, they went around the school for their different duties. Layla, to inform Raymond that he could destroy the Alphonse and Lara, to convince Walton that she was the murderer of her parents.

Lara managed to spot Walton looking at his master. She was practicing in secret again. Lara came uo to Walton, putting up her shy look.

"W-Walton.. I have something to tell you..." Walton turned over, his attention now focusing on her.

"M-My sister told me... That she was the murderer of the Alphonse..." Walton clearly had a confused look on his face, she really did kill her parents? She's an Alphonse too, why would she? Sensing his unease, Lara brought out a document. It was the same document that Raymond is going to use to blackmail her later on. He read it and had a shocked face.

"M-my sister t-told me... I-If you want to b-break the chain... It's best to do it during the final match of the competition.." Walton still couldn't believe it, his master killing her own parents? He looked back at the figure, now panting and holding her knees. Would she really do such thing? He walked over to thr figure and did what he needed to do as per normal.

On Layla's side of things, she went into the office to see Raymond looking at papers. She sat in the chair next to him and talked.

"Hey Raymond, do you know the devil that disrupted the Balance a few years ago?" Raymond immediately looked at her. Nobody would mention the incident where the whole world was almost out of existence if not for 2 wizards. His family was almost wiped out too due to the aura that creature had.

"It seems like you know, well it's your dearest Queen. Remember she almost killed your whole family?" Raymond was seemingly furious. That little girl almost killed his whole family! Preposterous! She almost killed the enitrety of the Havilliard family!

"It seems like you're furious, well I have a plan for you to crush the entirety remaining of the Alphonse. First of all, you get her back and everything will be under control." It was that simple? Raymond almost didn't believe that the idea was that simple. He wasn't an idiot, he knew fully well that plans like this tends to be longer. But in the end, he agreed. The plan was set in motion, now it's time for the ticking time bomb to explode.

Serachiel smiled at the progress those two were doing.

"Make sure to crush the Alphonse family once and for all."
