Chapter 308 - Someone Tried to Kill Shay (1/2)
When Adrianna reached the academy, it was deserted. Being a holiday, she didn't expect anything other than that. She walked to the administrative block and her thoughts were still tangled. She wondered if she should complain about Shay. After all she had taken care of it. After the finals, there was another competition, which would be held between the students in third and fourth place in order to get the winner for bronze medal. That meant that Shay would be fighting with the student whom Lile had defeated.
As she was walking, she noticed a wizard who was standing on the corner of the garden that was in front of the administrative block. She narrowed her eyes because she thought she had seen him somewhere. She stared at him for sometime as he looked away and in fact even walked away from there. Adrianna pursed her lips and reprimanded herself for looking at people suspiciously all the time. She stepped in the block and found a few professors walking in and out of it.
The administrative block was one of the most beautiful buildings she had ever seen. The floors were made from marble. Marble pillars rose on the sides, which supported the ceiling. The ceiling from where large chandeliers were hanging, had numerous flower motifs so delicately and intricately carved that the craftsmen must have lost their vision after work. The walls of the rooms were made from white tiles each of which had miniature paintings. As she walked she could help admiring the beautiful vine plants that had adorned the marble pillars with roses.
Professor Coral was also there. She was walking out when Adrianna stepped in. ”Oh hello there Adrianna!” she greeted her with excitement.
Adrianna greeted her back. ”Good afternoon Professor Coral.”
”How come the finalist is here on a holiday? You should rest at home. Tomorrow is a big day,” said Coral with a smile.
Adrianna smiled back and said, ”Umm… actually I am here to lodge a complaint against Shay.”
”Regarding what?” asked Coral with a frown on her face.
”He went against a rule.”
”Which rule?”
”He casted the spell 'Ponos Maxima',” replied Adrianna.
”Hmm…” Coral's facial expressions became serious. ”Come with me,” she said and walked towards Professor Ziu's chamber. Adrianna followed her.
Suddenly as they were crossing the various rooms, Adrianna picked Shay's voice and stopped. ”What happened Adrianna?” asked Coral when she walked a few steps further and found that Adrianna had stopped following her. She went back to her.
Being a werewolf, her sense of hearing was much more than any witch, wizard or human. She kept her finger on her lips and motioned her to follow her to the source of the voice. Shay was speaking to someone she had heard before but that person was speaking in whispers. So she couldn't make it out that nicely. Along with Professor Coral, Adrianna tiptoed to the rooms on the left of the alley. She stopped after covering three rooms. The voices were coming from the fourth room on the left.
”I tried to kill her by going against the rules. What else do you want?” said Shay with exasperation is his tone.
While Adrianna could listen to the people inside, Coral was still confused. ”What is it?” she whispered.
Once again Adrianna signaled her to stay quiet.
”If you were going against the rules, you should have fully gone against them. Why did you leave even a small route for her to escape? You should have casted more death spells!” whispered the person whom Shay was talking to.
”If I had done that, I would have got noticed and they would have disqualified me immediately. I had to do it slowly and in a way that none of them would have understood. Do you take me for a fool who is going to listen to you and follow you blindly?” shouted Shay.
There was a pause.
”Arghhhh!” shouted Shay suddenly. ”Stop it!” he was in immense pain.
”No one talks to me like that,” the man whispered back. ”You have lost a golden chance. Our only hope is Lile. She is a strong witch and we are sure that she is going to give Adrianna the worst time of her life!”
