UNDER THE MASK - EPISODE 7

★★★★★

Venus screams woke Min up and his eyes took over his face when he saw the scene

Yeontan won’t let go of her hand, he quickly rushed to them and took the pet away from her

“Tan calm down” he said, patting the dog’s head

Venus is still struggling with her wounded hand

“What did you try to do?” Min asked

“I don’t understand that question” Venus replied

” Yeontan won’t bite without a reason, either someone tries to hurt me or do something improper” he replied

Venus cleared her throat. ” I wasn’t doing anything illegal, and I have to go treat my hand” she replied and left the library

Yeontan licked Min’s face all-round and he kept smiling

“Thanks for protecting me once again though I dunno what exactly she tried to do but thanks” he said and the pet waggled it’s tail

” The training! ” He said suddenly and rushed out of the library

He got to the training ground and put Yeontan down

Kaitlyn carried it immediately

“Thanks Lynn” he smiled

“He likes me” Kaitlyn smiled as the dog tried licking her face but the mask is being an hindrance

“Yeah, he likes nice people” Min replied and joined the others

“I can’t wait to see what the test will be this time around” Athena said beside Kaitlyn

“Test?”

” Yes, every time a power training happens, the dean poses a test to everyone, the last time, it was walking on a rope without falling”. Athena said

” Hard” Kaitlyn said surprisingly

“I know right?, Damon won that time” Athena replied

Venus joined the others with a bandaged hand and the dean appeared

The students sat in a circle and the dean stood between them

“Dark demons are always betrayers, never believe in them, jealousy is a deadly disease, never allow it to eat too deep into you, bitterness is not ok, it makes you lose a lot” he said slowly and they all closed their eyes

” Try to concentrate your inner powers and make me fly out of this circle roughly” dean said

” Hard task, the dean’s power is not something to toy with” Athena said

” Will anyone be able to make him fly out of the circle?” Kaitlyn asked

” Maybe” Athena replied

Rainbow tried first but she was the one who flew out of the circle instead, bleeding from the mouth

Venus tried next but same thing happened to her

Eden only made the dean’s robe flow but didn’t succeed in making him flow out

Depp never succeeded too, he was the one who flew out of the circle with a bleeding nose and mouth

Dean Asher still stood gallantly when Mercury tried it, shouting loudly as if she’ll really do it but her inner powers aren’t enough to make him fly off so she fainted shortly

Damon made the dean’s feet leave the ground and let him float in the air but wasn’t able to make him fly off

Min did a finger formation and opened his eyes

He widened his two palms and pointed it at the dean who flew out of the circle to land far away

The others gasped as Min stood smiling

“You rock” Damon said beside him

“I really wasn’t expecting myself to be able to do it too” he replied

Mercury woke up at that time and jealousy took over her again

“That was great…I can’t believe your cultivation is much more than that of any of the other students despite the fact that you joined just yesterday” Dean Asher said after standing up

” It all deals with the ability to summon much inner concentration… jealousy, hatred, bitterness won’t make you perfect” Min replied

” I know, how smart” Asher pat his shoulder and faced Damon

” You almost succeeded, you just need to try more” he said

“Yes master” he bowed

“To the rest, I know you have the spirit in you but try hard to concentrate fully without any hindrance, only then you can be perfect” Asher said

“yes master” they all bowed

“The next power training will be tougher, train yourself and make sure you attain the level to be attained before then…with pure means though” he said before leaving

Damon hugged Min. ” I want your type of powers” he pouted

“Silly you* Min laughed

“That was awesome” Kaitlyn said

“Thanks masked girl, Tan really seems to like you” Min replied, looking at Yeontan who kept playing with Kaitlyn

“Yes, he’s playful but cute” Kaitlyn replied

” You don’t mind him staying with you for tonight?” Min asked

“At all, thanks for letting him stay” Kaitlyn replied

Min pat the Pet’s head. ” Be a good boy” he smiled and the dog stick out his tongue

“I need to go play the keyboard” Damon said

“You played it throughout yesterday and even played the violin last night even this morning, and now you wanna play it again?’ Kaitlyn said

“I love it like that, by the way, your classes starts tomorrow morning don’t forget” Damon replied and left with Athena

” So….. I’ll see you Lynn, take care of Yeontan” Min waved and left

” Ok Tan, let’s go to my room” she said and took him away

Night**

Mercury walked round the academy hallway angrily, talking to herself..

“He made the dean fly and land far away?, What kind of a guy is he?, Why does he seem untouchable?, He’s even always smiling and happy, how do I make that happiness leave him?, I hate him!, He’s making me feel inferior and weak!, Now he’ll be the one to be adored, I hate myself!” She ranted for long, hitting her fist on one of the pillars

“Kill yourself if you feel tired of this world” Depp’s voice said behind her

” Son of the devil, leave gently” she replied without looking up

“You know I like poking my nose around, especially when it comes to you” he replied

Mercury stood and faced him

” You’re just one incompetent twat and I won’t mind pulling out your tongue right now, fool!” She said hatefully

” Did you just call me incompetent?”

” Of course and I can say that again, I once caught you meeting with Cyclops, if I report you that you’re meeting with demons, do you think the Dean will take it lightly?” She smiled

” Shut up” Depp replied, pulling out his sword

” You should have told me you wanna fight, but I’m not ready for swords fight right now” she said and her eyes shone multicolored lights

Depp threw down his sword and his supernatural sign appeared on his forehead in form of a key

Mercury pushed him and he hit his back hard on the pillar, spiting out blood in the process

He slapped Mercury on her cheek and she spit out blood too

They both grabbed each other and held unto each other’s necks tightly, shinning their eyes lights on each other

“You just need to die and I’ll be fine!” Mercury spat

” You need to stop existing and I’ll start doing well” Depp replied and Mercury sank her nails into his stomach

He quickly let go of her and she fell as his stomach started bleeding

Mercury stood and tried to attack with her nails again but he threw her away with one hand like a doll

He landed down the hallway stairs, hitting her head on a stone

Depp left the hallway immediately.

****

Rainbow tiptoed to Kaitlin’s room that night and entered stealthily

Yeontan got suspicious from his sleep and woke up but she made herself invisible

The dog sensed a presence but can’t see anyone

Rainbow held out her hand and her sword appeared on it

She smiled wickedly before pouring the poison on the blade of the sword

Once slashed with the poisoned sword as a supernatural being, she’ll fall sick for days and when she finally wakes up, she’d have lost a lot of powers

She stepped closer and made to stab her but Kaitlyn grabbed her sword beside her and wield it in every direction before sitting up swiftly but Rainbow vanished already

She breathed heavily and adjusted her mask

“Who was that?” She wondered

Tan jumped on the bed with her and she stroked it’s head

****

Rainbow looked at her wounded arm when she got to her room

Kaitlyn wounded her unknowingly the other time with the sword

“That girl” Rainbow scowled as if she’s here

“I’m the queen of deception anyways, I’ll just pretend to be her friend for now” she thought

****

Next morning***

” He slept well, I can see it in his eyes” Min said Immediately Kaitlyn returned the pet to him

” Yes, he protected me throughout the night, thanks for letting him stay once again” she replied

Min looked at her and sighed. “Ion like poking my nose but if I may ask, why is your face masked?” He asked

” It’s a secret” she replied

” Oh, ok, Damon will be waiting, you should go for your training” he replied

“Ok, what about you, you’ll be in the library all day again?” She said

” I can’t help it” he smiled and she returned it before leaving

Damon is really waiting already when he got there

“One minute late” he smiled

“I’m sorry I…

” Just kidding, let’s get started” he interrupted

She sat on the mat that has been placed on the field ..

“While using your powers, always have in mind; the purpose for which you’re using it and the inner formation you used” he said

” Like the day bees invaded this place,you must have forgotten the formation and made us run like athletes” he said, giggling silently

” I called them out with my eyes” she replied.

“Eyes?, Strange, well why can’t you take them away when it’s time?” He asked

” I forgot how to do it” she replied

” Part of what we’re talking about, you just have to be concentrated on it that period, put the reversal method at the back of your mind” he said

” Yes master” she replied

” That again” he complained

” Let’s move on master” she smiled

” Now you need to stand, make the leaves on this tree fall and then make them go back to the tree” he said, pointing at a tree

She stood and used mind control on the tree, making the leaves fall without remaining one, then she used same mind control to make them stick back

“Fast learner, I like fast learners”
He said

“I’m really a fast learner” she replied

” Make various snakes come and send them back” he said

She did that and various types of snakes crawled to them, she sent them away with same method

“Good, do you know the Moon and earth formation?” He asked

” Moon?, No I don’t want to do anything involving the moon” she replied fast

” Oh, should we do the water and fire formation then?” He asked

“Sure” she replied

He did a headstand and pointed out his arms

“Whoa!” She said as fire started burning down their path from nowhere

“Now you need to call water to quench it” he said

She made to do a headstand too but he stopped her

“that won’t be necessary, just summon with your mind or eyes, you can use your fingers too” he said

” Ok” she replied and decided to use her pointer finger

She pointed it at the other side and as blood ran through her veins, water came rushing down the path

“It came!, I did it!” She said and stayed between the water and fire

She boldly stepped into the fire and Damon can’t help but be shocked

“Kaitlyn!” He screamed when he can’t find her again

“Kaitlyn!” He screamed again

He tried to quench the fire with the water but the water refused to move closer to the fire

“What do I do?” He wondered fearfully

“Here I am!” Kaitlyn said , coming out of the fire through the other side, nothing happened to her, she’s fine

“Kaitlyn?” Damon called, too shocked

“It’s me” she replied and almost immediately, her mask fell off, it has lost its hold on her face due to the training struggles

She quickly covered her face with her palm before Damon will see her face though he has swiftly saw it

She started running into the woods with her palm on her face

“I’m so careless!” She thought as she ran

Damon picked her mask and ran after her, calling her name.
