Vivian walked out of Gavin's office and went straight back to her dorm instead of going for her last lesson since there were only 20 minutes left of class and she didn't want to waste time there.

𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’Œ π‘±π’†π’π’π’Šπ’†'𝒔 π’‰π’π’Žπ’† 𝒔𝒐 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 π’‡π’Šπ’π’†, 𝑰 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆...Vivian always got caught by Jennie for skipping her lessons or not being present for them.

When she got back to her dorm, she quietly got in and checked around the place. π‘»π’‰π’‚π’π’Œ π’ˆπ’π’… 𝒔𝒉𝒆 π’Šπ’”π’'𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆...she heaved out a sigh of relief as she walked over to the couch and laid down on it.

Suddenly, there was a heavyweight that jumped onto the couch and laid on her lap. She looked down and it was the puppy, it happily wagged its tail and cuddled up against her.

"Awww, what are you doing~ You miss me hmm~?" Vivian stroked the puppy and smiled like an idiot at it. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 π’π’π’˜...π’‰π’Žπ’Žπ’Ž, Vivian didn't have anything much to do since she didn't want to go out venturing into the town this early.

Then a thought came into her mind, making her spring up from the couch, scaring the puppy that fell onto the floor with a thud. "Oh my, I'm sorry!" She gasped as she bent down and checked up on the puppy, making sure that it didn't get hurt from that fall.

π‘Άπ’Œπ’‚π’š, π’•π’‰π’‚π’π’Œ π’ˆπ’π’… π’Šπ’• π’…π’Šπ’…π’'𝒕 π’ˆπ’†π’• 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕. π‘΅π’π’˜, 𝒍𝒆𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕! She let go of the puppy and stood in the center of their dorms living room, closing her eyes and focused on herself instead.

Vivian wanted to practice some of her powers and maybe if there's a chance she could even improve on them. Though she shouldn't be using magic in the dorm but she also didn't want to waste her time just to go to the testing lab to practice.

"Okay, focus..." She mumbled out, her eyes still closed before creating a magical barrier around herself so that her magic power, stays within the barrier and does not go berserk and destroy things in the dorm.

The puppy sat down by one side and watched as Vivian made use of her powers to create a magical illusion of herself, which duplicated her into 3. After doing that she created double dark purple orbs that floated on both her hands and so did the clone illusions of hers too, they all had the same purple orb in their hands which makes it a total of 6.

Vivian shot the orbs at her barrier and it burst into black sparkles after hitting it. She absorbed back her illusion of clones and created vines that came out all over the barrier, indicating that if the vines were used, they would grow out in all directions.

There are also different types of vine spells, some are poisonous which injects a poisonous substance into the victim's body when they come in touch with it. Some have thorns all over the vines which shreds the victim's flesh into pieces and they will die in the process as they will lose a huge amount of blood in them.

Some are normal vines that grab the victim and strangles them to death or to hold them in place, nothing much happens with the normal ones compared to the other two.

Vivian's type of vines are none of those above, hers are considered special...She knows that she had it as a power but she doesn't use it often since she didn't think that there is a need to use it.

One thing about her vines is that instead of harming the victim slowly, it will grab its victim and tear them apart with no mercy shown...

One way to get away from the vines is to either teleport away or burn it down with a certain fire type of magic that doesn't allow the user to reuse the vine spell.

Vivian opened her eyes and it was glowing in a dark shade of purple, darker than it was before...π’˜π’‰π’‚π’•'𝒔 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’”...π’–π’“π’ˆπ’‰. She coughed and black liquid was spat out from her mouth and her mind was starting to lose consciousness as if something was trying to devour and take over her body.

She tried stopping herself but the unknown force in her was stronger than her own self and then dark figures like shadows were emerging out from behind Vivian, all looked alike except their oddly different glowing eye colors.

Not knowing anything, she created a magical reddish-black orb that was never seen before by anyone in the world. It had a black aura to it and there were even black particles flowing around the orb.

Vivian didn't aim the orb anywhere but it went flying straight into her created barrier. The impact of the orb colliding against the barrier was strong that there was a strong gust of wind blowing her back but she didn't budge one bit.

Then the barrier was starting to get small cracks on it and when it finally broke down, the magical orb, went flying straight into Jennie's room, taking the door and her window with it as the orb flew into a far distance and exploded. There were small cracks on the walls to it.

When everything was over, Vivian fell onto the floor with her legs feeling weak like jelly. She shook her head as she came back to her senses and scanned the dorm. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅...? π‘Ύπ’‰π’š π’‚π’Ž 𝑰 π’‡π’†π’†π’π’Šπ’π’ˆ 𝒔𝒐 π’˜π’†π’‚π’Œ...

She looked down on the floor to see the black liquid from before that made her raise an eyebrow at it. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 π’Šπ’” π’•π’‰π’Šπ’”? π‘©π’π’‚π’„π’Œ π’Šπ’π’Œ?

She tried standing up slowly and gasped when she saw that Jennie's room was wrecked like never before. 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 π’Šπ’•'𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂 π’Žπ’Šπ’”π’”π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’˜π’Šπ’π’…π’π’˜ 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 π’Žπ’–π’„π’‰ 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 π’ƒπ’Šπ’ˆ 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍...𝒃𝒖𝒕 π’”π’†π’“π’Šπ’π’–π’”π’π’š π’˜π’‰π’‚π’• 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅 π’•π’‰π’π’–π’ˆπ’‰?

She couldn't remember what else happened other than her just practicing her magic abilities in peace.

The puppy was still sitting in place, not moving making it seem like a puppy statue. π‘΅π’π’˜, π’˜π’‰π’• π’‚π’Ž 𝑰 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 π’˜π’Šπ’•π’‰ π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’Žπ’†π’”π’” 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’Œ 𝑰 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅? She sighed, staring at the broken room of Jennie's, 𝒔𝒉𝒆'𝒔 π’‘π’“π’π’ƒπ’‚π’ƒπ’π’š π’ˆπ’π’π’π’‚ π’Œπ’Šπ’π’ π’Žπ’† 𝒇𝒐𝒓 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’”...

Then a solution flew into Vivian's mind, π’Žπ’‚π’šπ’ƒπ’† π’Šπ’• 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 π’˜π’π’“π’Œ. She used some simple magic to create a temporary door and window for Jennie, which seemed like nothing ever happened.

Vivian went to wash her hands in the toilet and got a mop to wipe away the 'ink' away from the floor. Though she couldn't remember what exactly happened but there was an odd feeling of something burning inside of her, it was urging to come out of her...

π‘Ύπ’†π’Šπ’“π’… π’…π’‚π’š 𝒐𝒏 𝒂 π’•π’Šπ’“π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’…π’‚π’š...She shook her head and ignored whatever happened but it still had her curious, π’”π’π’Žπ’†π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’…π’†π’‡π’Šπ’π’Šπ’•π’†π’π’š π’…π’Šπ’… 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 π’”π’†π’†π’Ž 𝒕𝒐 π’“π’†π’Žπ’†π’Žπ’ƒπ’†π’“ π’˜π’‰π’‚π’•.

She went into her room, leaving the puppy still sitting out in the living room but somehow...the collar was brightly flickering with its silvery shine.

Vivian went to get her purse and checked whether if she had any money in there, she even wore the ring the couple previously gave her and smiled at it before heading out of her room again.

𝑰 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’Œ 𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 π’π’π’˜ 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 π’”π’•π’‚π’š π’‚π’π’š π’π’π’π’ˆπ’†π’“ π’Šπ’ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π’…π’π’“π’Ž 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑰 π’‘π’π’”π’”π’Šπ’ƒπ’π’š π’ƒπ’“π’†π’‚π’Œ π’”π’π’Žπ’†π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆ 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆 π’–π’π’Šπ’π’•π’†π’π’•π’Šπ’π’π’‚π’π’π’š...she shook her head and walked over counter where she had left the dorm keys at.

"Let's go out for a walk puppy~!" She happily took the dorm keys and opened the door as the puppy came back alive and followed her out the door like nothing happened.

Vivian went out of school and took the same route to the pet shop. She walked down the park and took a look around the place and noticed that there was a queue of people at a certain shop near the walkways.

She got curious and went over, placing the puppy down on the floor, and tried to tiptoe to peek over all the people that were standing in front of her. 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’…π’‚π’šπ’” 𝒂𝒓𝒆 π’“π’†π’‚π’π’π’š 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒖𝒉...π’˜π’‰π’‚π’• π’Œπ’Šπ’π’… 𝒐𝒇 π’Žπ’Šπ’π’Œ π’…π’Šπ’… π’•π’‰π’†π’š π’…π’“π’Šπ’π’Œ 𝒕𝒐 π’ƒπ’†π’„π’π’Žπ’† 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒍 π’‘π’‚π’π’Ž 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔-

"Wah!" Vivian yelped out a little as she felt someone carry her from the waist up into the air and now she could see what the other people were looking at. The shop had cute little-looking crepes with various designs and flavors.

"Woahh~" she exclaimed out with her eyes shimmering as she saw the crepes that the stall owner was making, it looked deliciously nice. Totally forgetting that someone unknown was lifting her off the ground, π’˜π’‚π’Šπ’•-

She looked down and saw that yellow cabbage guy from earlier in Gavin's office, π’˜π’‰π’‚π’•'𝒔 π’‰π’Šπ’” π’π’‚π’Žπ’† π’‚π’ˆπ’‚π’Šπ’...? He smiled at her and put her gently down back onto the ground as she stared at him with a straight face.

"Nice to see you here again Vivian~ What are you doing out here for?"

"Roaming? Like taking a walk?" She answered but the way she answered made it sound like a question instead of a legit reply.

"What is Mr cabbage doing here...?"

"Cabbage..."

"I'm sorry but what's your name again? Hahah~" Vivian chuckled as she didn't want to make him feel awkward or make him feel sad that she doesn't remember his name at all.

"It's Victor, my lady~" Victor smiled kindly at Vivian as she stared at him with no expression whatsoever, π’”π’†π’†π’Žπ’” π’π’Šπ’Œπ’† 𝒂 π’„π’‚π’ƒπ’ƒπ’‚π’ˆπ’† 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒑 π’Šπ’π’…π’†π’†π’…. She ignored him and turned back to the shop and waited in line.

"You like crepes?"

"I've never tried one before..." She replied and waited patiently until it was her turn. When it was her turn, she ordered a strawberry bear crepe. When she got her crepe, it had strawberry in it and two marshmallows with a bear-like design on it with some cream to top it off.

"Here-" Vivian took out her purse and was ready to pay but Victor pushed her hand back and paid for her instead. She looked at him as he smiled at the stall owner and pushed her along with him as they walked away with the puppy following along.

"Why did you pay for it! Here take the money." She tried giving her own money as a compensation for the crepe but he declined the money and pushed her hand back.

"It's my treat for our first meeting." She thought for a second and eyed him curiously, 𝑰 π’ˆπ’–π’†π’”π’” 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 π’•π’‚π’Œπ’† π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏, 𝒇𝒐𝒓 π’π’π’˜. 𝑨𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑰 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 π’Žπ’šπ’”π’†π’π’‡ 𝒂 π’”π’π’‚π’„π’Œ 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕...

"Thank you Victor~!" Vivian thanked him happily as she started eating up her crepe. π‘΄π’‰π’Žπ’Ž! π‘»π’‰π’Šπ’” 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒔 π’‰π’†π’‚π’—π’†π’ƒπ’π’š! The crepe had its nice fine texture and the toppings are just what it needs to be perfect.

Vivian started making her way into the town while eating her crepe and Victor was following silently beside her. 𝑯𝒆'𝒔 π’”π’•π’Šπ’π’ π’‡π’π’π’π’˜π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’Žπ’†?

"Are you not busy?"

"It's my free time so it's fine."

"Okay...then why are you following me?" She asked, she didn't mind the company but for someone like him, 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 π’ƒπ’–π’”π’š π’Šπ’π’”π’•π’†π’‚π’… 𝒐𝒇 π’ˆπ’π’Šπ’π’ˆ 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅, π’˜π’‚π’π’Œπ’Šπ’π’ˆ.

"Why can't I accompany you? It's kinda boring just staying in Gavin's office"

"I know right, he's just cold out dead on the outside." Without second thoughts, Vivian replied, making Victor chuckle at her statement.

"What do you think of him?"
