Not there!
I ran across the dark streets of campus, trampling the lovely flower petals that danced with the night breeze.
Not there either!
Impatience swelled within me as I rapidly moved my eyes and became one with all my senses.
Spellcraft was constantly turned onwithout it, this would be a fools charade.
My speed was phenomenal, and that was because I knew the value of time.
My comrades were all fighting out there; risking their lives because they trusted my plan.
I needed it to be executed perfectly.
No doubt, the tides were currently in our favor.
If I joined in on the battle, perhaps our victory would be assured.
However
Anything can happen! I cant render a judgment based on the current circumstances
Sure, things were going well now, but what would happen if the tables were to turn on us? Would the exhausted students be able to handle it?
This question rang in my head as I desperately sought the only thing that could guarantee our victory and cement the eradication of the enemiesthe Lecturers.
If we could locate them, then it mattered not what the enemy threw at us.
Once we secured those with authority and power, this elaborate charade would be finished.
Still, the solution was easier thought of than executed..
In the first place, the hall where the Lecturers were supposedly holed up prevented any external interference.
It was surrounded by a barrier that practically made it appear as though they didnt exist on the campus.
Normally, no one would be able to find them unless they were me!
Using Spellcraft, I was basically one with the world around me.
The Mana around gave me access to the surroundings.
I could extend my senses, perceiving everything beyond the normal scope.
Now, what would happen if I were to utilize my technique where the hall was situated?
Interference!
I wouldnt be able to tap into the Mana within the premises of the hall thanks to the special Magic around it.
Since that was the case, all I had to do was scour the campus to detect anomalies and figure out where they would be holed up in.
Ive narrowed down the search to some places, so its not a blind hunt!
Still, it was incredibly annoyingworrying about everyone else when I had my mission ahead of me.
Jared, focus! Youll be facing the leader of the Shadows, you know?
With my thoughts chastising me, I shrugged off distracting thoughts and dashed toward my designated spots
Until
I found it!
I could use Spellcraft with a range of a hundred meters currently.
Though, since going so far strained me, I limited myself to seventy meters.
It would be pointless if I found the enemy and was worn out when our confrontation ensued.
FOUND YOU!
With anticipation gleaming in my eyes, caution raised high, and at an even greater speed than earlier, I dashed in the direction of the anomaly.
