Come forth

Huff!

Huff!

Nix exerted himself while running, the gate to the academy within his range of sight as he skidded to a stop.

Hiding behind a tree, he had his back resting on it as he tried to catch his breath, hyperventilating.

The timer suddenly popped up in front of him.

'Sh*t! Was I really too slow?' His hands shot up to his face, feeling a glitch in the customisation.

It would be a matter of minutes before he reverts to his original form. From what he had experienced when he had tried to escape the academy, the guards had some sort of mental radar which could securely identify who was going in and out.

If it weren't for his speed, identity change and the fact that he had blocked a guard's precise beam with his field, he was sure to have been caught.

To his credit, they couldn't identify his passive gift and merely thought it was magic, therefore, it was safe to assume that they thought it was one of the magic users who had escaped.
