Chapter 273- Festival 4- Incident at the Academy Portal Gate

"Raph….enough" 

Jane said, his tone laced with urgency as Raph glanced at him. A cold shiver ran through his body as they met gazes, a creeping sensation of ice growing within him. 

He turned his gaze away in an instant, breathing quickly as Raph cancelled out the force. 

Raph sighed, slumping back on his seat and folded his hands in annoyance. 

A scowl was etched on his peerless white face, and his eyes exuded a cold malevolence. 

"You will participate, right?" 

Ciara breathed slowly, her hand around her neck as the crippling sensation exuded her. She looked up from her knees, beyond Jane and at Raph. 

Something else began to brew within her, Something palpable and suffocating. 

'How…How is he so much stronger than me now?' She wondered, confusion laced in her thoughts when she scoffed and suddenly ran down the stairs.
