I quickly looked back at Zane who looked to be concentrating on the spell, but the magic circle beneath him was still grey and the power emanating from it didn't give me any comfort.
I looked to Maximus, sure he could see the worry in my eyes; he bit his lip.
"Zane! What spell are you doing? We need a net, not a damn cement wall," Maximus scolded.
"Why are you making a cement wall?" I looked at Zane in confusion.
"I don't really know how to make the net spell,” he confessed.
"Zane. That's the first thing you learned in elementary school for FUN! You’ve got to be kidding me right now?” Maximus looked incredulous.
I turned back to the battlefield, noticing my spell was about to fade.
Shit, this isn't going to go well. If I do my plan, the outburst is gonna knock me back right into that wall.
"Jewel. You can't."Alice's voice was laced with anger and I frowned, understanding where her concern was coming from.
Alice, what are the chances of me actually hitting my head? I’ll be fine.
"No, you won't be fine. Don't you remember what happened when you were little? You can't put yourself at risk, especially when Mom isn't here. You were just lucky you didn't seize after the washroom incident,"she scolded.
I rolled my eyes and lifted my hand to create a barrier, figuring those two would already be preparing their next move.
Alice, I can't afford to get a low score on this. My mark affects both Maximus and Zane.
"FUCK ZANE! He's not doing fucking shit! Look at who he keeps staring at?! This is fucking rigged,”she shouted.
I looked over my shoulder at Zane who was indeed looking at the crowd and I spotted his two friends who were chuckling to themselves, giving Zane the thumbs up.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Braxton and Kage both noticed the direction of my gaze.
Braxton stood up, looking like he was ready to go beat the shit out of them.
Alice, I won't back down!
"JEWEL, attack!"Alice surprised me by calling out. I looked back to see the large burst of energy heading towards me.
"Shit!" I raised my hand, holding my wand.
"WIND! FIRE!"I commanded both elements, the wind coming from my left hand while my wand shot fire. The dual force twirled together and hit the onslaught of Eric and Andrew’s separate attacks, creating a clash of attacks.
I gritted my teeth as my body slowly began to slide backward from the force of energy .
"Shit! ZANE! Put the wall up and make a sheet of wind that will cushion Jinn. NOW!' Maximus ordered.
I looked back to see Zane nod, the thick wall shooting up from the ground. I frowned as he began making a magic circle that was light green but I knew he wouldn't complete the spell on time, especially since he took THAT long to make a fucking wall.
I returned, noticing Brax and Kage's worried glances.
I spotted Logan and Nixon outside the room, both seemingly out of breath. I didn't know who told them what was going on but they looked afraid, especially Logan whose gold eyes met mine. He knew this could go horribly wrong and I could potentially blow my cover if I switched forms due to losing consciousness.
I bit my lip, returning my attention to my attack.
I swallowed as I noticed the two forces began to grow progressively larger.
I need to make a spell to ensure I don't switch back.
