My Triling System

Chapter 163: The Curse

Max looked toward the direction that Jeri pointed for him and saw someone he recognized. It was Azura. His eyes widened with surprise as he saw her.

"Why is she here?" Max's heart started beating faster as he saw Azura. It was the same way he feels every time he sees someone he likes or crushes on.

Just at that moment, Max saw some males approach Azura from behind. He also recognized those guys. They were Graham's men. And what is that? They were about to do something bad to Azura and Max must stop them.

He stood up swiftly and started walking towards the men.

Jeri didn't realize this before but she suddenly got a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Did he had a grudge with Lexa or what? With Max's strange attitude, she couldn't guess what will happen next. So she followed closer behind her brother and planned to stop him in case he attempts to fight Lexa.

Lexa on the other hand was watching Kevin's 46th match. This time he was fighting a girl. But unlike his other opponents, he was going easy on her which was a surprise to everyone.

"It seems like this buddy likes females." Lexa snickered but then, someone pushed her from behind.

"Are you mad!" Lexa said as he lifted herself from the ground to look at who did that to her.

She was surprised as she saw Jeri stand before her.

"Hey, what's that for?" She exclaimed

"Sorry, it was a mistake." Jeri said as she lifted her from the ground.

She thought Max was going to do something to Lexa so she pushed her out of his way to prevent that from happening. But it seems like Max wasn't going for her. His target was someone else.

Now that Jeri saw her brother stop beside a lady, she then recall how her vision went. The person she saw wasn't Lexa but Azura. Max appeared to protect Azura from Graham's men and Kevin's match ended; making Azura log out of the game.

After seeing all this, she started feeling nauseous all of a sudden.

"Are you okay?" Lexa asked as she saw Jeri place her hand on her forehead.

"The curse... I think I'm going to go blind." Jeri managed to mutter.

"What?" Lexa looked around to seek for help but everyone's focus was on the dark creature who suddenly appeared at the light spectating area. Even though they could not hurt or fight each other, the light creatures made a rule that no dark should come to the light's region but Max clearly disobeyed that rule and was claiming to be protecting Azura.

He tried to tell them that Graham's men wanted to hurt Azura and he had appeared to protect her but no one believed him and Graham's men used that chance to shift the blame on him.

They reminded everyone about the match between him and Azura before Kevin stepped in to fight.

"Why would you be protecting her when you almost fought her during the yesterday's assembly."

"That was just a fair fight between two schools. And it's not like we fought." Max claimed.

Just as he replied, one of Graham's men challenged him again.

"Why would a light creature protect a dark creature if you don't have an evil scheme. Perhaps you want to get back at Kevin for beating you in the fight."

"Are you kidding me? Why would I do so." Max turned to face Azura. "See, I know you don't trust me but I spotted this men approaching you in a suspicious way. My instincts told me they are planning to do something to you that's why you see me here. Please believe me."

Azura glared into his eyes but didn't say anything.

"What a liar you are, Max." Graham said as he walked toward him.

Max recognized that voice in an instant. It was the voice he hated to hear in such a time as this. The voice of a murderer.

Everyone had gathered around to see what was going on, including the dark creatures.

Max frowned as he saw Graham approach him.

"You murderer. I do not wish to speak with you." Max said as he turn sideways but the sight of what he saw shocked him.

"Jeri!" He shouted as he ran toward her sister who was in Lexa's hands. But Graham's men had grabbed him before he could approach her.

"Let me go!" Max said as he punched the men that surrounded him but before he could do anything, Graham made him fly in the air as he used a telekinesis magic on him.

"This is what we do to people like you." Graham sneered at Max while everyone watch him being lifted high into the air.

"Stop!" A voice came out of nowhere as a lightning bolt head toward graham and Max was rescued from falling to the ground by fairies made out of shadow.

Lexa lifted her head to see what was happening and saw Kevin standing before her.

"He's a lightning user, could he be the one minute guy?"

People were amazed at how Kevin attacked the head bully; Graham, with one strike of his lightning. They knew the one minute guy had the lightning magic and his match had just ended.

They could only assume that Kevin was the one minute guy although they were not sure if it was true or not.

"Is she okay?" Kevin asked. Lexa paused for a while as she didn't know what to say. The murmurings and assumptions from the students that Kevin might be the one minute guy made Lexa froze for a second.

There was no doubt about this fact, she was certain that Kevin was the one minute guy. There are no other student in the school who would be crazily strong as the one minute guy except for one; Kevin. He fits perfectly into the role. He was crazy about getting stronger and he has the lightning magic that the one minute guy had.
