I opened my mouth wide, condensing a Golden Beam of mana in my mouth before unleashing the condensed mana blast from my mouth. 

BOOM!

A large detonation exploded killing several of the A rank beasts but they still rushed forward. 

‘Guess I’ll let off some steam.’

I descended from the sky, landing in front of them and growing in size. I was now the size of a dragon, towering over the small A rank beasts under me. The strongest ones came up to my shoulders as I was now as tall as the trees surrounding us.

I roared, releasing a menacing killing intent and a bone chilling mana pressure. A Golden aura surrounded my body, strengthening me like armour and 9 tails that flowed beautifully from behind me. 

Starting slow, I broke into a sprint gnashing a few small beasts with my teeth to pieces. Several A rank Fox type beasts smaller than me in size surrounded me with people in black figures riding on top of them.

They all growled circling me, before also attacking me in unison. I swiftly danced around ripping several of them apart with my sharp fangs whilst smacking several of them away with my tails.

“Kill that thing!”

“Charge!”

They all pushed towards me, throwing fireballs and spells towards me. Their sheer numbers made it impossible to keep track of who was where, as I gritted my fangs and blocked the onslaught of spells and attacks of the mages. My tails whipped the spells away like a tennis racket, not letting them get too close to me.

I opened my mouth releasing several Golden condensed, mana bombs from my mouth flattening the trees and killing hundreds of the figures shrouded in Black robes.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp and powerful blow of Wind mana contact with my side, making me wince as I was pushed back taking down and flattening several large 20 Metre trees under me.

“Where did this beast even come from?”

My eyes started to glow red as I hesitantly turned my fire mana on. I got up, puffing my chest out and roaring, fire spitting out of my mouth like a flame thrower.

Suddenly, a familiar figure ran to the front of the crowd, shielding them from my strong magic. The figure screamed, falling back to the intensity of my fury but still managed to distinguish the blow. He looked up at me as mages helped him up.

It was Ranveer.

I growled, baring my bloody teeth at him and growling.

They backed off slowly before Ranveer let out a small hand gesture. With that, everyone sprinted past me. I roared, stomping my paw onto the ground and causing a line of gold fire to erupt but I was too late. They leaped over it, sprinting away from the camp. I turned my head, about to chase them when an agonising burn set alight on my stomach.

I whimpered, flinching back to see Ranveer on fire like a human torch. He latched onto my fur as I howled in pain. I tried to shake him off but failed so instead, I wrapped my fire proof tails around him like a snake, tightening my grip on him as I brung him to my face. I let out a mighty roar but he conjured a fireball without his arms and shot it into my mouth.

I screamed, dropping him as he flew away propelling himself with his flames blasting out from his palms. I shook my head, my throat aching as he called his army to retreat. 

Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind woosh past me as Soyeon and Taejun ran past me on beasts. They looked at me in horror, not knowing I was Malia. I turned back to the camp, looking at the chaos they had wreaked and decided to sprint back too before one of them decided to ‘tame’ me.

**

The camp was in complete chaos and word spread quickly about the two teens who planned it all. Miss Elena was on hot fire as everyone started pointing fingers at her. She was the easiest to blame for this because she was the new leader. Zeref proceeded to lend her his protection, sending out leaflets of what really happened and making sure Miss Elena was in the royal’s good graces so they could also defend her name.

A lot of children were injured. Soyeon warned me but not them of the dangers. The underground safe place was protected by mana laced doors but somehow, Taejun and Soyeon managed to unlock it from the inside which was how many evil mages entered.

Luckily, there were no deaths but unfortunately, there were around 44 injured people. The camp was criticised for its weak security system but we all knew that wasn’t true. It’s just no one saw the attack coming from the kids.

The Park siblings had wanted posters plastered all around the Kingdom’s for them and Miss Elena made sure to keep Zeref and I updated about the situations. Zeref was crowned hero of the day, attracting much unwanted attention as he stacked up fans from across the kingdoms. 

News papers praising him were everywhere and witnesses came forward with stories of his heroic activities. Xanxus academy was soon the most talked about academy seeing as the attackers and the hero came from the same school. Somehow, Xanxus managed to avoid the matter of how two of his students attacked the camp but instead, he managed to gain face for the school through praising Zeref.

After a long two weeks of debating while the kids were all sent home, Miss Elena had finally come to the decision to continue the course. No year had ever missed this training and she was determined to restart the show again.

Kids were forced back but this time, everything was much darker and tense. The instructors were strict and every trip to the toilet or journey off trail was carefully monitored. The lessons were much harder and even the injured were expected to participate. The security around the place was on high alert both inside and out since the strongest guards hand picked by Miss Elena were placed around it with the finest weaponry.

I had no time to tell Zeref about Ranveer because every time I tried, he was either swarmed by people or knocked out from exhaustion.
