The Devil WithInn 67 This B*Tch Better Be Prepared 3

"Where'd you been? Did you run? You're panting so hard."

Raghnall collected himself and tried to even out his breathing.

"I've been... looking… every.... where… for you! I thought… you were… in the Lily dorms! Why… are you… here?!"

Raghnall hissed as he bent and leaned on the wall for support.

"Oh? Am I not supposed to be here? Dear G.o.d, does everyone not want me here?!"

Inna raised her voice, her earlier fury still didn't die down completely.

Hearing her angry tone, Raghnall was greatly startled.

Why's she so touchy now?

What did he do wrong this time?

"No, no. I thought that you didn't know how to check the time and where the place was. So, I figured to go to your dorm to guide you."

He actually waited for an hour for her in the Lily dorms. He tried calling out for her and throwing stones in her window. But after an hour where she didn't respond, he felt worried that she might've been taken by other students or was lost. So, he decided to go around the different dorms and places in the school to search for her. He took up so much time that he was shocked when he saw that it was about ten minutes before the twelfth hour.

So, he actually ran straight from the Lily dorms to here in just ten minutes to avoid being late.

He was about to move past Inna to enter the doors but he noticed that they were already closed. He blinked furiously as though he didn't believe what he was seeing.

"Yeah. They're closed. We're late by a minute."

Inna huffed.

She's most likely going to have to miss lunch this time.

Suddenly, as if on cue, she heard her stomach grumble in complaint. The sound was so loud that it echoed slightly through the corridors.

"What was that?"

Raghnall's irritation disappeared as he held in his laughter.

Another similar sound rang again in Inna's stomach. This time, it was much louder, like her stomach was now full-on scolding Inna for not eating.

"Is my… haha… l-little N-ninny hungry?"

He cooed while holding back his laughter.

Inna ignored his mocking actions as she turned and desperately tried to pry open the doors.

To her utter disappointment, besides a few rattling in its handles, the doors didn't even budge an inch.

"What're we going to do? Should we just leave?"

Inna looked at Raghnall for an answer.

Hearing her question, he looked at the sealed doors with a thoughtful gaze.

"Normally, for late students, I heard that they would need to wait until the one in charge, like the teacher, would open the doors. But seeing that there's no reaction, the teacher probably didn't arrive yet."

Raghnall then looked at Inna.

"Do you know what this means?"

Inna looked at Raghnall's cunning eyes and she immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Since the teacher didn't arrive, he wouldn't know we're late!"

She mischievously grinned.

That was one of the hidden rule in their college.

As long as the professor is not yet inside the room, no one is officially late!

And even if he is inside the room, as long as you're able to sneak inside without him knowing, then you're not late at all!

"The only problem now is to find a way inside before the teacher returns."

Raghnall suddenly squared his shoulders and puffed out his chest.

"Say no more. The 'Genius' is here."

He was not entirely sure if it will work but he figured that it won't hurt him to try.

He held out his hands and placed them on the double doors. He chanted out the spell as he closed his eyes in concentration.

"Krestum. Graber. Handrel. Ope. Niye. Seleatum. Disrel. Pieta. Avre!"

Bright white light covered Raghnall's hands before it became slithering vines that began to creep into every s.p.a.ce of the door. It was absolutely enchanting to look at. The silvery vines beautifully coiled and moved around the door like they were alive. Every movement it made sprayed a bit of magic dust around and Inna inwardly gasped at the sight.

It looked like those Barbie transformation scenes!

Only, the one transforming is the door…

Then before Inna knew it, the bright vines began to multiple and soon fully covered the whole door in bright light.

And after a few tense moments, a clicking sound was heard before the bright light slowly faded away.

As if blinded by the light, Inna stood dazedly at the door. Her face had a permanent look of amazement and awe at the beautiful image the spell made as it was casted. She was absolutely mesmerized by the flashy effects.

But who could blame her?

It was the first time she ever saw something that actually looked like real magic!

All Solomon taught her was the basic theories, history, and simple magic spells that looked like parlor tricks in a magician's show.

In fact, even after two month of studying under him, she never had those s.h.i.+ny and s.h.i.+mmery glow effect. Instead, she was taught spells where their results show immediately. And before she knew it, the spell was already done.

Raghnall saw her becoming unresponsive and waved a hand in front of her face.

"h.e.l.lo? Are you there? Ninny?"

This snapped Inna out of her daze.

"W-what was that?"

Inna's voice shook as she blinked furiously.

"That, my good friend, is a High rank Nullification spell. Pretty, right? Priests usually have pretty magical effects in their spells compared to Mages and Warlocks. But to be honest with you, aside from aesthetics and showing off, its pretty much useless and even borderline annoying when used."

"Anyways, since its open, shall we go?"

Raghnall asked her but she returned back to being unresponsive.

Did that small spell really amazed her to that extent?

Raghnall shook his head slightly as he chuckled.

He should really find time and show her some of his favorite spells. Seeing those, she'd surely think that this spell would look dull in comparison.
