Chapter 10 (Part 2) - Callagarn's First Move

        " Wait,this can't be happening. Callagarn was supposed to come next week, at midnight, so the persons who were not born with magical abilities wouldn't be able to see magic. The SMS was wrong. Callagarn doesn't want to take over the town, he wants to take down the SMS for good, which means he needs to expose magic to the entire town, starting with this school. This is not good. If Callagarn exposes magic to Neems , which are non magical humans, he could destroy the entire world. Ivy, I was afraid to tell you this, but when Callagarn escaped from magical prison, he stole the golden sphere, which grants endless magic to whoever wields it. The SMS has been looking for it for ages, but we still haven't found it. This means you can't defeat Callagarn until all of your ten stages of magic are completed. We're doomed," Elistron explained, his body trembling with each word.
      " Elistron, you didn't tell Ivy about the ten stages of magic! Did you even tell her anything? I am ashamed to even call you my uncle! " Ivan yelled, clenching his fists. A shiver ran down Ivy's spine- she had never seen Ivan so angry.
        " Ivan, I didn't want to worry her even more. We were going to work on the ten stages over the week, but it seems as if we have no time. We just have to give up. There's nothing we can do. Callagarn won," Elistron whispered, bowing his head in defeat. A look a sadness filled his usually bright green eyes.
        " Wait, we're giving up? Elistron, what are the ten stages of magic? Why are you guys doing this? Please explain," Ivy remarked, bewilderment and fear filling her mind.
     " The ten stages of magic are ten tests you have to go through to master your powers. Wizards and witches do it when they are five, but since you were not born with magical abilities and your magic comes from an amulet, the tests are much harder for you and you have to do it as soon as you get your magical abilities. You were going to do your tests this week, but we have no time. The tasks you did today are only a third of the first stage. All we can do  is give up and let Callagarn take over," Elistron sighed.
             Suddenly, Ivy's body began to glow, and she began to float towards the amulet. Ivan and Elistron's eyes widened as wide as saucers as the amulet detached itself from the wires and placed itself in Ivy's hands.
       Then, an unfamiliar person appeared, he was a tall man, with short, gray hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a black cloak and held a wand in his wrinkly hands. Elistron and Ivan were frozen as they watched him use his wand to bring Ivy back down to the floor.
      " Wizard Meltin , what are you doing here?" Ivan asked, Elistron shooting him a stern look.
     " Elistron, what are you still doing here? Callagarn is already at the school! Also, who is this? This can't be the Hidden Warrior. Didn't we select Claire Dublin to be the Hidden Warrior? This girl isn't from a magical family. The amulet was supposed to enhance magical powers, not give them to a Neem. You have been lying to the SMS!" he yelled, his once calm demeanor suddenly exploding. One million thoughts whirled in Ivy's brain- Claire had magical powers! The one and only Claire was supposed to be the Hidden Warrior!
  " Wizard Meltin, Leader of the SMS, please let me explain. Claire is a very popular student at school, so people would always be following her around, so she would never get time to come warrior training. Ivy isn't as popular so it would be easier. Plus, we are going to lose. Callagarn is going to expose magic, so he can destroy the SMS. We lost, there is nothing we can do," Elistron responded.
" Yes, the SMS has just figured that out. That's why I came to see you. We have a solution though. After Callagarn has done his destruction, the Hidden Warrior will use this forgetting powder I brought, so the Neems will forget the magic they saw," Wizard Meltin explained.
" Wait, I am still confused. Since Callagarn has the golden sphere, can't he just take over the entire school today? Also, how did my body glow and why was I floating?" Ivy asked.
     " The golden sphere only works the best for a true wizard. Elistron probably didn't tell you this, but to become a certified wizard you must take a test. Callagarn never got a chance to take the test, so the golden sphere will not be in its full power. Since he is not a certified wizard, it takes exactly five months for the golden sphere to be in full power for him, so he is not powerful enough to take over the school as yet. The golden sphere gives him thirty minutes of use now, but in five months time, he could use it for as long as he wants. Also, the amulet's magic caused you to glow and float in the air," Wizard Meltin stated. Ivy's mind raced- this was so much information to take in. She felt like she was about to burst.
" Wait, I never knew that," Elistron remarked.
" It's because you never pay attention in the meetings. You are always eating pasta. Okay, Hidden Warrior, please transform and go back to school. Here is the forgetting powder. Ivan and Elistron you are staying in the chamber with me. Elistron, we have to decide on your punishment. You must not lie to the SMS! Now, Ivy go," Wizard Meltin remarked.
In the blink of an eye, Ivy had transformed into the Hidden Warrior." Magic," Ivy whispered.

Back at school

"Aaaaah!What's happening!" many students screamed as Ivy entered the school hall ( well, it was really the Hidden Warrior, but you get what I mean). It was chaos.
Monkeys were swinging from locker to locker, while smoke filled the air. Students and teachers were running around, screaming. Several students kept appearing and disappearing and some were even trapped inside floating bubbles. Talking bats flew around the hall and frogs blocked all the exits.
" Well, look it's the Hidden Warrior. I didn't expect the SMS to choose such a punny child to do the job," someone snarled. Ivy looked up to find a man with wavy brown hair and bloodshot eyes. He was wearing a dark robe and his skin was pale. He was Callagarn. Holding the golden sphere in his hand, he shot a lightning bolt at Ivy.
Surprisingly, Ivy blocked the hit, using a water ball she had formed.
" The child's got skills, but not for long!" Callagarn shouted. Everyone turned silent and stared at Callagarn and Ivy, but Ivy didn't feel nervous, she felt somewhat confident. Maybe being the Hidden Warrior made her forget about her social anxiety.
Then Callagarn twirled is finger, causing a black mist to surround Ivy. She tried to break free, but the mist was holding her back. All of a sudden, the mist vanished. Ivy looked around and saw that all the chaos had stopped and Callagarn was gone. That meant his time with the golden sphere had run out.
A wave of relief swept over Ivy as she sprinkled the forgetting powder on the floor, following Wizard Meltin's instructions. After, Ivy quickly transformed back and returned the amulet to the chamber. She smiled, she had succeeded her mission.

History Class ( after lunch)

" Okay students, I will now be giving back your history assessments," Mrs Hellin remarked. Ivy sat quietly in her desk while Mrs. Hellin handed out the tests. Now that she wasn't the Hidden Warrior, her social anxiety was back.
       " Ivy, what happened in this test? You didn't even answer the questions. I am afraid you are going to need a history tutor," Mrs. Hellin remarked. Beads of sweat trickled down Ivy's face - this wasn't right. Seeing Ivy in distress, Claire snickered.
     " What? I swear I answered the questions. I knew all the answers," Ivy responded.
      " I know you may not want a tutor, but you don't want to fail this class," Mrs. Hellin stated.
     " Well, will you be my tutor?" Ivy questioned.
       " No. Your tutor is a student here and he happens to be the top history student in the town. He's in the next the eighth grade class. His name is Chandler Rese," Mrs. Hellin replied. This couldn't be happening.

Hope you enjoyed! School just started, so I will have to just update on the weekends. Not sure as yet. Anyways, this book hit 500 reads! Eeee! Thanks so much! Comment and vote if you want to. Question- what do you think will happen in the tutoring session with Chandler and Ivy?
