I Woke Up In A Completely Different World! 67 To Make A Witch, Part Iv

She shouted.

I walked closer to them. If they thought I was a threat in any kind of way and I'm not Madelyn, then I have to prove it! They should know that I won't attack or yell. I'm stubborn, at the very least. I've owned that for the longest time.

Only that it wasn't working and Young Mi either backed away or forced me to back up by casting magic.

Madelyn: "Young Mi, it's me!"

This time when I got close enough, she threw Lilith behind her and kicks me to the floor.

I crawled away, knowing things will only getting worse. Young Mi again went to attack but Lilith forced herself in front of me; s.h.i.+elding me and tanking the kick to her gut.

Madelyn: "…Young Mi… aren't we friends?!"

I sobbed.

Lilith: "Stop..! Don't hurt her, please!"

Young Mi: "Move!"

Lilith: "No!"

They began shouting back and forth, getting louder each time.

Young Mi: "I SAID MOVE!"

Lilith: "AND I SAID NO!"

Young Mi shoved her out of the way but gets slapped while doing so. They started to go at it and I stand up, wanting to break it up. Though, if I try, I'll be the one getting attack again!

Madelyn: "Lilith!"

Lilith: "Run back to the academy, Madelyn!"

Madelyn: "But—"

Lilith: "GO!"

I ran.

Faster than I ever have before. Through the trees and back down the road. The shouting grew closer behind me, pressing me to push myself even more. It felt like my heart was in my throat and I became nauseous. I had surpa.s.sed my limit when I found Steven sitting at a gazebo and ran until he was in front of me.

Steven: "What the h.e.l.l? Madelyn, what happened?!"

Madelyn: "Steven—"

Before I could continue, my body had already given up.

I fainted, and when I came to, we were all on the ground. Steven was holding me while Rayna was across from him, hovering her hands over my body as they glowed a faint purple.

Madelyn: "…help…"

Rayna: "Madelyn… your magic… what the h.e.l.l did you do?!"

Steven: "Where are the others?"

Madelyn: "They attacked me…"

The rest showed up soon after. Young Mi was marching towards us despite Lilith doing everything she could to slow her down. Rayna put herself in front of them and they continue to shout over her shoulder.

Lilith: "Madelyn! Are you alright?!"

Young Mi: "Get away from her!"

Rayna: "ENOUGH!"

Her patience quickly eroded and exclaimed as loudly as she can manage. They quickly backed down once she casted b.a.l.l.s of fire into her hands. I was terrified another fight would break out and attempted to sit up.

Madelyn: "No… don't… don't fight!"

Steven: "Young Mi, explain to me what's going on, right now!"

Young Mi: "She walked to the homestead and this "thing" came out. I know everyone can sense that something's wrong with her."

Steven: "I do but that doesn't mean you should attack her."

Young Mi: "Move…"

Rayna stands her ground but becomes reluctant to fight.

Steven: "No."

Rayna: "Stop! Everyone!"

Young Mi: "That's not Madelyn!"

Steven: "Then look at her and tell me how she isn't! She ran for her life and now she fainted!"

All the noise was enough to draw the attention of several guards and the Headmistress. They became uneasy the closer they were so instead, the guards had kept their distance, unlike the Headmistress.

Headmistress: "What is going on here?"

Everyone started talking over each other and the arguments had rekindled. They were constantly put out by the Headmistress who just wanted to know what was going on. She eventually did, through the confusing strand of arguments, and take control of the situation herself.

Headmistress: "Alright—alright! We can solve this without fighting each other. Our expert mages can figure out the next smartest thing to do. Just bring her to our infirmary."

About time!

I was relieved that something good finally happened. I attempted to sit up again and did so without any a.s.sistance. I look at Steven as he smiled at me.

Steven: "Feeling better?"

I nodded.

Steven: "Good, we'll find out what's going on with you."
