Evil, demonic energy pressed down on her, and her knees lost strength. She crumbled on the spot, her knees hitting the cold floor.
That wasn't mana.
The energy pressing down on her. It was evil. It almost felt… demonic.
No… that couldn't be. Demons weren't supposed to be in human territory. There was simply no way.
But as the malevolent energy emitting from her classmate, Aura Acheron, pressed down on her, Freya Lockhart couldn't think of any other explanation.
Aura Acheron.
She had killed her assassins.
She was going to kill Freya next.
The courtyard went silent.
No one moved.
"Aura," the man said. "Ease up. You're scaring her. Humans at certain stages cannot handle the effects of demonic energy well."
The crushing, evil sensation on her shoulders suddenly subsided, and Freya took a deep breath of air.
S-So it was demonic energy. Rank 2 Aura Acheron is a demon?
"You," Aura said. "Stand back up. I have not killed your allies. Worry not."
