Chapter 109 Is An Escape From The Barrier Possible?
Ayanami did glance at Lank, cautious about how she was going to interact with him.
"I wouldn\'t if I were you." Lank hissed.
Ayanami gulped, it was at that point she knew that ranking never really mattered in the first place. To him, she was nothing more than average in comparison to his abilities.
Losing his zeal, he found this as the only opportunity he could get before his abilities went loose again, he stepped out of the infirmary in a rush.
Gia was left stunned by the action, her mouth gaped open at the ripped door. She wondered how she would explain this to Mr. Gaviel, even if she could fix the door, the damage caused around her wouldn\'t be something so easy to repair with her current state of prowess.
"He just left?" Ayanami questioned in confusion.
"It seems he did." She frowned at the outcome of things. Her hands glowed a faint blue and so did the door. Lifting it from where it lay, she carefully made it repair itself.
"Your abilities are really magnificent." Ayanami marveled at what she could do with her magic.
Turning her attention back to Ayanami, she had a forced smile on her face. "It\'s nothing, really. Everyone can do that."
Sitting on the side of the bed, she stared at Gia for a moment, deep in thought.
This weird action made her feel self-conscious. "Ummm... so what brings you here?"
\'Stop with the weird stare.\'
Shaking her head, Ayanami was finally able to process what she had in mind.
"You don\'t know what you possess." Her voice was low and cold, her eyes gleaming a purple glow.
Gia closed her eyes, weary of the reason she would activate the glow in her eyes in such a manner.
After all, she had heard in their G&M class from the interaction made by the upper rank gift user– Lumina, and their teacher Mrs. Neider, it was wise to be cautious around her.
"Do I feel like a threat to you?" She questioned, reaching out to Gia\'s cheek.
Shrugging her hand away from her. "Please keep your hands to yourself."
Ayanami let out a sinister laugh, shaking her head. "If only you would join me, you would see there are boundless opportunities that await you."
\'What the heck is she talking about?\' She wondered, looking away, never maintaining eye contact with her.
Ayanami felt left out, disturbed that she was being ignored yet again by someone she could potentially gain from.
"I assure you, I am not the enemy." She tried to reason, careful of how she speaks around her.
"Please leave," Gia spoke coldly. The uneasy feeling did not settle well with her at that point.
Deciding to strike at a better time, she obliged with her words, "it\'s alright. If you do want to know how you could get to the organization, I would always be a call away. They need users with your abilities."
Gia\'s eyes double in disbelief at what she had just heard. "Did you just say the organization?"
Ayanami got up from the bed, looking over her shoulder, she had a smirk on her lips at the curiosity she had sowed in Gia\'s heart.
"Curiosity is a very dangerous trait, one I hope you find the right path someday," Ayanami replied with an air of ambiguity.
Shapeshifting into a multicolored parrot, she snickered as she flew towards the window sill. "See ya!" The crackling sound came off it.
Gia brought her legs down onto the marble floor, rushing towards the window before she could fly out.
Already too late, she could only reach out as she watched Ayanami fly up and safely bypass the barrier placed over the academy\'s vicinity.
\'How is that possible?\' She stared in horror. Whatever means she had used only confirmed what Lumina had said, she had a hand in what had happened to her teammates.
"How far have you fallen out?" She wondered, bringing her hand down. Turning around immediately with the slightest shift of movements.
Her hands glowed with magic circles in front of her, ready to attack whoever had tried to sneak up on her.
"Woah! Woah!" Fae raised her hands in surrender with a basket in her right hand. "I just thought I could bring fruits for you."
Letting out a sigh of relief, she deactivated her powers, resting her back on the wall. She had enough visits for one day.
Careful of how she threaded, Fae slowly let down the basket on the white-coated metal bedside table.
"You look hale and hearty to me, for someone who\'s supposed to be bedridden after that experience," Fae commented.
"I healed fast," Gia replied with a grin.
"So it would seem." Fae observed the destruction of things around, "so were you the one who had ripped the door off its hinges?"
"How did you–"
Fae raised a brow at her words, she had enough experience to know when an amateur magic user did a fair repair work on a structure.
"You missed a bolt, it\'s still on the floor. Besides, the destruction over there." She pointed in its direction, showing the rough shape of something being in its place earlier.
"Oh!" Gia masked her nervousness with a chuckle, "it wasn\'t his or anyone\'s fault."
"Who?" Fae frowned, walking over to the window and peering out. She was curious as to why Gia was staring out when she had entered.
"No one, just forget what I said something of such." She coughed on the latter part, walking over to the window. She had other pressing questions that she hoped that as a higher rank as Fae was, she might have the answers to.
"Senior Fae?" She called out, her voice mellowed.
Fae tilted her head to the side at the mention of her name, "hmm?" she hummed in reply.
"The barrier, is it possible to pass through it?" She asked with a motive in mind.
Fae\'s eyes widened in surprise at such a question directed to her, "did anyone manage to do that? Was that why you were in a daze as you stared out?" She placed her hand on the side of Gia, wanting answers
