157 Chapter 157 – Overflowing powers

The classes had to be dismissed earlier because their teacher was fired. The students all looked her way in a look in surprise. Some gazes held fear and some children even had tears in their eyes.

Even though her fellow students were all acting so mature all these days, they too were children. It showed at that moment.

The kids all looked at her like she was the worst kind of monster.

That day she finally became a villainess in these else eyes.

Feng focused her eyes on Clarina, who was sobbing so painfully. She hugged Fiona crying. “why did you do it for me? I told you not to... you mustn’t have done it....” her sobs sounded legit.

If Feng had not known of her character before, she would have definitely taken pity on a girl’s cry like this. But she knew who Clarina was.

That fucking bitch was turning everyone against her. She firmly moved the blame onto Fiona and became the innocent flower that was protected by people.

It ticked her off.

Feng wanted to punch her right then. But she held back. Her shoulders were still aching. She did not wish to sustain another injury again, hitting that hard-faced bitch.

.....

“Let’s go.” Since the class ended, they could go and enjoy their time as they wanted or directly head over to their mentor classes. Feng was planning on doing so.

Last night’s power outburst and her body injury were still a mystery to her. Her family was still not sure why she was injured like that.

Only her master will know the answer to this

She glanced at Elle. “I’m going to visit my master. What are your plans for the day? If you are free, do you wish to come along with me?”

Elle held her hand, silently agreeing to come along.

Feng smiled widely. “Mind you, the working condition of my master’s lab is...unsanitary but its a fun place to hang out,”

Giggling, the girls ran through the empty hallway. Their guards followed after them, making sure they were taking the right route.

As they walked in, Elle started to look around. “it’s really so... different from my class hallways. They are all bright and shiny, but this.... why isn’t anyone cleaning this place? Wait, I remember. Most hallways are maintained by respective masters, who have their classrooms there.”

“My master does not have powers,” Feng added with a smile.

It was the true fact. Hary did not have any special abilities or powers. But the knowledge he had about time ability and the various discoveries he made through his knowledge was what gained him a position in the magic school.

He had been a past student who studied alongside the duke as a junior. That was why the duke suggested that she choose him.

Hary’s knowledge of time magic is unparalleled. The man was obsessed with time magic.

Reaching the door, Feng opened it without knocking

Elle hesitantly knocked on the open door and walked in.

The dingy lab was still in a bad state.

But something was different

Just as Feng walked into the room, every beaker in her room lit up with a golden glow. It was like thousands of fireflies had landed in their room, glowing and emitting golden dust in the air.

“oh my fucking god!!! What is going on?” Hary frantically ran around picking every beaker and container in the lab.

“is this supposed to happen?” Elle whispered softly.

“nope.... That is why I said its fun here. Every day it’s a new drama.” Feng giggled, hugging Elle to her side.

Hary finally noticed their arrival. “you’re early and who is this miss?”

“you’ve seen her, master. This is my Elle.”

“ohh.... That one... I’ve seen her... I think. I don’t remember sorry.” he scratched his head, holding that small container of that mysterious liquid.

Feng stepped up to him. “why is this happening? did you make a great scientific discovery or something?”

Just as she got close the beaker in Hary’s hand glowed so brightly that the liquid boiled over and shatter right in his hand.

Feng froze. “is that supposed to happen?”

“no... Feng, what did you do? Why are your powers out of control?”

“Huh?” Feng looked back at Elle. She did not feel like that. Everything was normal with her body except a few body aches. “I’m not out of control.”

“You just exploded my sample by standing close to it. Your powers are out of control. He held Feng’s wrist softly,

Elle cleared her throat. “Thou shall not hold a young lady’s hand without proper consent.”

“My dear short lady, I have to check your dear Feng’s health right away.” He said with a sense of urgency.

Elle frowned and moved close to them.

Even Feng was startled by his serious tone. “Is it bad?”

“Very. You’re like a leaking tap, no you’re an overflowing vessel right now. You are losing so much time energy everywhere. It’s very bad for you... its very bad... gods... this is not good.” He gently then touched Feng’s shoulder. “We must have a talk with the duke about....”

Feng suddenly felt that crushing pain in her shoulders. her shoulder that had healed distorted and twisted right in front of his eyes.

“AHHHHHH!!!!!” screaming, she fell to the ground. The pain was too much. It was too much.

Hary panicked. “Shit! shit! Shit! You, short one, tell me what happened yesterday?”

“She used her powers!” Elle said, pulling Feng onto her lap.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feng was sweating profusely and her body was getting col.

Elle hurriedly warmed her body by rubbing her hands and feet. “What is wrong with her? Why.... if her powers are leaking it would not be his bad... why?” she panicked.

She had not seen a future like this.

Hary gritted his teeth. “Feng is not only leaking power but at the same time she is absorbing powers. The amount she is absorbing is abnormally high compared to the amount she is emitting. That much amount of time and energy is something Feng can’t handle right now. Its physically crushing her from inside out.”

Elle’s eyes were already tearing up hearing this. “What can we do?”

“I can’t do anything.... Only my master can handle this.”

“Where is your master!” Elle shouted at his face.

“He is not here. He is in the dark forest, I think. No one can find him...... shit! shit... wait, ill try to connect him. Call your family.” he ran out of the lab.

Silently sobbing, Elle called up her family and Ethan and Aiden.

The twins were the first to arrive, with the principal in tow behind them.

Ethan and Aiden were devastated seeing Feng in so much pain. They were also furious to see her hurt like this. “Who did this!” Ethan cried, hugging Feng’s soft hands.

“He... he said it’s her powers. he said it going out of control....” Elle glanced up at the principal. “You.... Help her... please”

The principal shook his head slowly. “I can’t do anything, child. Time ability users like her are very rare. I’ve never seen a situation like his before.”

“do something!” Aiden screamed, tugging his pants.

The principal physically looked saddened by this. he hugged Aiden close wordlessly.

“You know Feng’s mentor’s mentor, right?” Elle said, after calming herself.

The principal paused and nodded.

“Find him. Find him or else I will reveal your secrets!!!”

The principal’s expression fell. “Young lady, you are playing a very dangerous game.”

“I don’t care! Fine him! I don’t care about anything, so find him! Or else the world will know what you are hiding!” Elle screamed.

He glared at her deeply. “What if I say no?”

“Master....” Aiden sobbed, hugging his leg. “Please....”

The principal’s glare melted away instantly. He gently picked him up and hugged him. “shhh don’t cry... ill find him. But it won’t be easy. He is known to be a wandering mage. He doesn’t stay in one place for long. Even if I find him, your beloved Feng might have to go to him and stay with him for a while.”

Everyone froze.

They had just started their school life and, just like that, Feng had to leave?

Elle sniffled loudly. “it’s okay. If she can live, that’s all that matters. Find him... please... promise I will tell anyone about your secret if you help us. I will take that secret to my grave.”

The principal sighed. “Fine, I’ll try him,”

Hary came running back in. “I can’t find him anywhere. Fuck... how is she?”

Feng was still unconscious. But now she was withering in pain and panting loudly.

The principal glanced Hary’s way. “What will happen to her if she is not treated in time?”

“She will die...... the time energy is not something that can be contained that easily. That is why not many time mages exist. She is absorbing too much time particles from around us. Soon, each and every one of her organs will burst...”

Elle shot up. “What if we can take her to pale with no time particles? What then? Can we isolate her like that until we find your master?”

“I...I can try that. That’s genius.” He ran to Feng and lifted her up. he then walked over to the principal. “I would like you to cast an isolation magic on her, please.”

The principal did so.

.....

Feng’s panting stopped. She looked like she was in a peaceful sleep.
