The girl's fluffy white fox ears flicked twitched each time some one spoke, but she suddenly turned round towards the direction of the E ranked students.
"Felicity, is that really you or am I dreaming?", Sitan rubbed his eyes furiously as he called out to her. the Felicity he is seeing now doesn't look like the same person he had just met yesterday, her looks seemed to have changed overnight, her hair which was perfectly jet black yesterday was now snow white.
"are this real?", Sitan still pressed on with his questions as he touched her ears to check if it was real or not but suddenly shriek back when she snapped at him.
"would you stop it already, my ears hurt with fondling with it".
Sitan just nodded as the questions in his mind had gotten answered, Felicity had changed not just in appearance but her aura seem to have changed a lot. yesterday she was just a mediocre beauty with little or no talents but now she looks like an alluring demon fox queen with a domineering aura. Seeing that Sitan was practically useless and foolish in this situation, Vidaz nudge him aside and turned to Eric.
"seems that you have something to say and a question or two to ask"
Eric nodded with a smile as he thought that his shitty teacher knows how to read situations.
"sorry to ask this because everyone need not to aimlessly tell everyone what their enlightened power but we need to know cause we are a team so that I will be able to build a good battle plan for you and Quill to succeed or at least pass the first round" Eric explained carefully so that she will loosen up and answer him truthfully.
"ok, as far it is for the team I'll answer truthfully", she said sincerely as her eyes which was now naturally scarlet in color flickered.
"DAMN! I was right. she certainly a demon fox", Sitan clicked his tongue as he noticed the color of her eyes for the first time but he suddenly felt an attack coming from above his head and unfortunately no matter how fast he tried to evade it the knuckle still connected to his head giving him a hard knock.
"will you stop spewing nonsense with that rotten mouth of yours" Vidaz berated him as he wondered how the heavens was so heartless to give the chairlady such a vile brother. Clipper just shook his head at Sitan's shamelessness but still remain silent as he felt that there is no need to waste his words and would only act when it is necessary, while his presence was the least noticed it as as if he wasn't there. Eric was displeased with Sitan's interruption but was satisfied with the way he was handled so he could only sigh before continuing.
"is your enlightened power about body transformation to certain parts of enlightened beasts"
"nope, am yet to discover my enlightened power. all I know is that I can absorb enlightened energy" she answered plainly.
"did you evolve last night?", Eric asked as little details can't escape him, his next question came as a bombshell to her but she looked quite composed despite being exposed.
"yeah, I can't really remember the finer details but am sure I just woke up like this" she replied honestly as she saw that there was not point of her lying.
"so what did you do that triggered the evolution", Eric asked his final question e felt he has gotten a firm understanding of the whole thing.
"I did nothing as I said before I just slept an woke to find out that I have evolved, and if I had evolved into a demon fox as he said you would have known given you smart brains and you won't resort to asking me this questions", she said having known a little about Eric's personality.
"ok I understand" Eric smiled bitterly as he knew that no one can just sleep then boom when they wake up they have evolved but he is just staring at one now.
"ok are done asking your questions cause I have mine, where in f**k name is Quill!", Sitan asked with annoyance as the pain on his head refused to ease down. as his name was the key to presence, Quill appeared with a slight blur beside Sitan before materializing.
"I wonder when I will get used to this excessive speed", Quill murmured quietly to himself before profusely apologizing to the group for his lateness.
"sir Vidaz I sincerely apologize for my blatant lateness, I promise it won't happen again", Quill said remorsefully
"yeah, we have heard but you owe us lunch" Sitan quickly chipped in before Vidaz could say anything. Vidaz just sighed at Sitan's shamelessness, he realized that he doesn't care one bit about face at all. seeing that the group was finally complete he brought a briefcase and opened it, inside was five ordinary looking wrist bands.
"what's this?" Sitan ask in disdain at the sight of the plain wrist band.
"just put it on and you see its usefulness", he replied back with a smirk on his face, seeing that they all had worn it he quickly explained what it was.
"this wrist bands all have connection to me, it will alert me when you are in danger and it can act as a little amplifier to your powers".
"but I feel nothing I just a scam any way" Sitan snorted as he proceeded to pull it off but realized he couldn't take it off.
"oh I forgot to add that it can't be taken off", Vidaz said with a large grin much to Sitan's annoyance. Eric quickly examined the band and realized that the material used to make the band was anything but ordinary, it will take a life fortune to get enough of the material to produce one but he easily whipped out five which made him ,more curious on who Vidaz really is.
"Felicity your ears, eyes and hair it's..." Quill exclaimed noticing her for the first time he came.
"it's what?" she asked curiously as if she was waiting of his approval on her new appearance.
"it looks pretty and will keep people drooling with their jaw hang low" Quill said with total innocence not knowing he had made a lot of enemies at that moment with those fan boys that was actually drooling for her beauty and attention and to ingrain their hatred for him was when they saw that she looked all smiley by his remark.
"if you guys are done flirting with each other let's get in now and show them what we are made of" Sitan remarked as they entered into the arena.
*********
the combat arena was massive as it was filled to the brim as they came to watch the massive humiliation of the first E ranked on the school. the group walked to their stand as a group of misfits, the competition battle was divided into two group A and group B. Felicity name was in group A, while Quill fond himself in the latter which was deemed the group from hell, which meant that Quill was just a pesky fly in that group. the arena finally quiet down when Wayne entered the ring.
"seems you all are eager to test your new strength and also find new allies, but don't forget that the winner will represent the school along side the A ranked and B ranked at the upcoming inter enlightened school national challenge. so if you deem yourself fit to wear the crown are you sure you are able to bear the weight, if yes prove it here in this ring right now not never", after saying his piece he left the ring as he assistant led him to the VIP stand.
"you seem to be a hype lord" his assistant couldn't help but comment.
"it's just part of the job" he said thoughtlessly as he walked calmly towards his seat.
And truly the arena was hyped with excitement as this benefit of winning was like eating a sacred fruit reserved for gods.
to quell their excite mind the first match was revealed on the screen,
FELICITY OF RANK E VS GARY OF RANK D
their excitement died down as booing took over, they all expect a one sided beat down as the pure E members looked worse than weaklings in their eyes but this just made Quill burn with determination as his eyes changed silvery white before reverting back to its original color. but it didn't escape Eric notice as one thought pierce his mind
'did he also evolve' the thought alone scared Eric to his wits as he realized maybe the E rank are breeding monsters.
Felicity walked into the ring as Quill cheered her on, while Gary on the other hand waited for her in the ring as a wolf waiting to devour his prey. he looked bulky in nature with toned muscles which easily gave away that his enlightened power was super strength, seeing her beauty mesmerized him.
"surrender now and I'll make you my slave, if you refuse I will humble you and break your pride", he said as he pinned his feet to the ground before using the momentum he had gather to rush forward throwing a punch towards her belly. seeing his brazen act, her eyes narrowed into slits as she raised her hand and gave him a flick on the fore head which sent him crashing outside the ring unconscious with blood staining his lips.
"are all the upper ranked perverts in nature" she asked no one in particular.
the whole arena was dead silent, they were expecting a one sided beat down but not like this and especially not this fast.
