245 – Dark Barrier

Ren frowned. "What reflection magic? I didn't cast any," he said. "I learnt my lesson last time, believe me – I won't do it again."

"You probably activated it subconsciously," Pax said with a sigh. "But it's there, it's active, and Sylvia, Smoke, Shadow and Snow have confirmed that it's the same magic as last time."

Ren's eyes widened in shock. "Are you saying that I somehow activated the old reflection magic without knowing? But how… how can that happen?" he asked, looking thoroughly confused.

"We don't know," Uno replied. "But we think that your desire to protect Fang from that Professor Luke must have somehow triggered the reflection magic."

"But I didn't feel its activation at all," Ren murmured. "And I didn't feel my magic losing control either…"

"Anyway, regardless of how it came about, the fact remains that the old reflection magic has somehow been activated, and you need to undo it right away," Fang cut in.

Wolf, Pax and Uno nodded.
