Arc: “A true magic item, among the strongest of their kind.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTcYLJNUIx
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulUV3fAn62

A magic item huh? I search through my pockets and hope I still have them. Inside I feel two pens and take out the scan one. I need to know what I’m dealing with.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVri7h7G8B
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuhaM2oXgK

I point it at Anthony who’s waiting for me to deliver the first blow. Good thing, this gives me time.

*CRACK*582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4pDsIRaq6

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5XrqcrvMt

Purple lightning snakes forwards threatening to cook me but I place a shield up just in time. In spite of the warning, I barely could catch it on the shield. It even pushed me back.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOKgFendd
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwa5N4tqoq

Arc: “Idiot, it’s the magic stat you have to be careful of. Even mages who neglect their body can level cities. Close the gap, you can’t win like this.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXOy3Sb3Jo
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRFpLEeK6D

I rush forward towards Anthony while keeping the shield up. Anthony continues to blast lightning at me but it only delays me.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAfu8yCUVy
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiFXt1D9rf

Anthony: “That shield won’t last forever!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszukGIrVws
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop38fcszdL

Ignore it and push forward! I get close enough to lunge at Anthony with my free hand. I reach out for his shoulder, just one touch is enough.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxORH3T4Zf
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pquWxC1l1

Anthony: “You’re slow compared to the King!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWngGfFTIg
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte56DcfYCy

Anthony throws a kick to my side but I catch it with ease.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvB9jPua3
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy32WMmXqa

Nao: “Checkmate, paralysis.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmI0qfaFVu
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorqFWo9yCm

An orange burst of lightning erupts from Anthony’s body.

…

Anthony: “What do you know, Artemis was right. I’m immune to shock-based spells now”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lz5fwoxhO

Nao: “!!”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ygwWowB8

Anthony: “My turn, paralysis.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88MUcdQl21
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y2yuV5hlM

I let go of Anthony’s leg before it erupts in purple lightning that would’ve knocked me clean out.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnnYjQpqYO
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei1E238IHz

Nao: “Not yet!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaO1ToHuKI

I bite my lip and transform my right arm into a gorilla’s. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycpVASMCsV

My powered fist sinks into Anthony’s face and his eyes go white. Did I…win!582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJJZpQhQr

*BOOM*582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImjeaiKZfg

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMPkEZmWm8

Nao: “GAAH!”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJIOTJ2HyG

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbx9DXsvAN

Lightning engulfs both of us and Anthony’s consciousness returns. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkiTSRKyUq
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBqfhPTsqM

I rip myself away from the raging storm and transform the necklace into book form. I need a new spe-

Anthony: “You think I’d let you!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8tcPOTjYh
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCeyJ2a9Wn

A kick comes rocketing towards my face. At first, I felt little but then a burst of lightning explodes between his leg and my face.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQAMx9iq9V

Nao: “Gaah!”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9WQVTB5KM

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr9DMeeLV4

I grip the book for dear life as I tumble across the ground. Smoke sizzles off my skin and the nightmares begin seeping into my mind. The boiling skin, the darkness and…death…

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhbBGncsOi
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvvPa3Psqx

Anthony: “Get it, we’re not done. And if I see you trying to swap spells I roast the rest of the students.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qlQjSqk9d

Nao: “!!”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghCSqnUXJ9

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvUlmDsyJE

I transform the book into necklace form and shake off the nightmares.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzB88LCe69
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWKGXiyIVo

Anthony: “Give up Nao, you can’t be me as I am now. Why even fight me. These people don’t care about you.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYnVK45tdR
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9IHwt2RRA

Nao: “I-I can’t…won’t kill again. I won’t make that mistake again…”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79r79pfbw4
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mz5GsyYPw

Anthony: “Tch, don’t play like you regret killing Anton. You don’t feel regret because you didn’t want to kill those bullies! You’re just scared of killing, of your mom’s disappointment, and of doing the right thing! I saw you! You liked it, you relished in dishing out judgment. Just like me.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTclMTZlDg
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjssvw1yin

Nao: “That’s not who I’m supposed to be. It’s…It’s wrong?”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2MzSnUyVl
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcga0SkJZq3

I feel a fist sink into my gut. I can hear the crackling of lightning but Anthony holds back from shocking me. But still, my knees buckle from the building pain.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ8bpx3biB

Anthony: “*Sigh*”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPnnEgul9p

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKt1z1AIvK

Anthony: “I don’t want to kill you Nao, you’re the one who inspired me. Seeing you destroy those bullies before and even fighting the King. You proved that the oppressed can fight back. Be that way again, help me kill the rest off.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B9jCzZxu5
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyoCSx3YLa

Nao: “You can’t…be serious.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cJmrZMgAb
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71VgNyGpxm

Anthony: “Deadly, I will kill them either way. Why not free yourself from your delusion and remain among the living.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlW56feP5M
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrFBsdZVET

Nao: “What…happened to you.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrJGBgmgmk
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSaeJt2kNF

Anthony: “…I made the choice to fight back. So, what’s your final answer.”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9O59GmEBn

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmthepTH3f

Nao: “My answer is…”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvccNktqYBf
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJyMZPR1oh

Anthony: “What?”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkSDlgPSWX
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk5iDhQtji

Nao: “Air bullet!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVno12SZLV
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKfC2PpEWG

A powerful blast of air blasts out of my hands and into Anthony’s gut. He barely blocks with the lightning but the force was too much to hold. He’s sent flying back and that’s only the beginning.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpP5h29QH0
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4DboHPvEy

I sense all the water in the sprinklers above and bring them all out. The hallway becomes a maelstrom of water and I drop it all on Anthony. Let’s see if can survive his own shocks!

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ZE5cI9JY
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQQRTsFEDc

Nao: “Everyone run! I don’t know how long I can hold him!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXacVpBI5gZ
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw5VGOi6rS

Instantly, everyone gets up and runs away to various locations around the school. I can see lightning flashing within the water prison I’ve built around him. I have to-

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk0IuRWwle
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCTaHMgzmF

Arc: “Of course, you never used these many different spells at once. Your magic stat is only 24 after all. Should have practiced your offensive more.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU8nuvhVOg
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg42Bm6GDa5

Sorry for being suspended and home locked.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA5hCY61bg
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqKdJQshOr

I fall to one knee but I keep the prison active. At all I cost I must-

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ8OUcGAsr

!?582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ESWA9ndOB

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3khWK404gM

I start to notice the bursts of lightning within the bubble less over time. Like a dying light, I’m about to snuff it out…

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuEFxmPTsb
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0duBTX6M0

Anthony…is going to die if I keep him in there.

…

I…hope everyone found somewhere safe. I pray that Anthony’s powers are weakened enough by the water.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqupdORIMN
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fIMv64oPj

~~Kid, you’ll regret that.~~

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBxMvkJIkJ
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QQU4HJVl9

I release the water prison and the hallway floods. I collapse onto my knee in the puddle and watch as my blood drips on its surface.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQderqR5DK
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtupUAdw2W

Anthony: *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbGmr81oxs

Anthony: “Damn it, Nao. Why?”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6uK0XlnI1
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zxrbmyyv2

Anthony drags himself to me and grabs my shirt by the collar.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L09yCeEbm
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rEZfnn30

Anthony: “Why didn’t you kill me?! Are you retarded?!”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGjcgKcZh7
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlXrtBsfmN

Nao: “Because…I want to see…a world where…we don’t have to kill each other.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlr0JB34CW
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq7puH3T9w

Anthony: “…I wish that could happen. But that’s not the world we live in. Change must be bought with the bodies of the corrupt. Otherwise, this will never end.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheI7tUnS57
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0foC0zPE0q

Anthony looks at the pen remains floating in the water. Hehe, I guess he figured it out.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREZnkY8REZ
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgSwOau6Fi

Anthony: “The minor illusion pen…”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eONyIx7VN
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhCGApIvNx

Anthony: “You made me think you transformed the book back into a necklace so you could safely swap spells. Clever, but meaningless because of your naivety.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswVrot4792
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rcZt4z6a6

Arc: “Na-”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slIQ9rnFk
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuQ6YMHZhc

Anthony rips Arc off of me and lets me fall into the water with a heavy splash. It’s…really over. Was I…wrong, mom? The game screen that’s been with me since the start fades away. I’m sure my blue eyes also darken to brown.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0k24L95pK
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCg4ii0Kv

Anthony: “I’m sorry it had to end like this, but I won’t stop here. I’ll have my vengeance and more. With Artemis and…”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ862QsEfRU7
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydpw26U4sw

Anthony puts on the necklace and at first, horror paints his face. But he quickly passes that trail and fully accepts Arc. Even I can hear the sound of my defeat.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIlI6Rz5h8
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRyXvp53xe

“ArchMage system activated, 98^th user registered. Hello, Anthony.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTTZ9QrKBG
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjAWhIyQ9n

Anthony: “….with Arc. Once again you inspire me Nao. I’ll still have our vengeance but I won’t stop there. There are more people like Anton out there and I’ll be sure to kill them all.”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EkPmtDKXF
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKS063wUd5

Nao: “And…after that?”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC3LsPsZPc
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqLTnO50du

Anthony: “….Depends on Artemis but I hope to build a world where people like me will never have to suffer again. Is that so wrong Nao? If you’re allowed to change the world for the better, why can’t I?”

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHZXXMCH5h

Nao: “…”

I don’t know. My mind blanks and my consciousness begins to fade.

582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTx1GSo3f8

Anthony: “Goodbye Nao, I hope you survive these wounds to see the new world with me.”

I close my enemies and accept my failure. I’m sorry Alyson…Mom…Arc…

I’m back in that same darkness that consumes my being. But this time…it’s not as oppressive as before.

My body isn’t my own anymore. It shifts and grows into a similar form. It raises from the water reborn, brimming with power beyond reason. My eyes open to reveal a pure white instead of brown or blue.
