LET'S KEEP IT A SECRET

James and Fred were both looking at Mark with a disappointed look on their faces.

" Mark, why didn't you tell us Baylas was a girl? Don't you trust us to keep it a secret? Because I know you must have a very good reason to bring her here in a disguise but we won't force you tell us." Said James.

"I am sorry guys I never thought of it that way, I was so busy with other things that this never came to my mind. But I will tell you the whole story." Replied Mark.

Mark told the whole story of what had happened before Kayla ended up as Baylas.

And they were listened carefully but James expression had changed suddenly.

" Do you know what you have gotten your self into? The girl you call Baylas is know as Princess Kayla. She is the lost princess the Grand Master had been searching for." James said.

Baylas already knew this day would came since james arrived. She was tired of hiding it so she allowed Mark to tell her story.

At this point Mark's emotions towards Kayla was full of confusion and anger. He turned and looked at Kayla with a questioning look on his face.

" Mark please forgive me I never wished for all this to happen.

The full story is that ever since my mum died,

my father wich is the Grand Master had kept me like a prisoner locked up in a tower.

Since I am a white mage, he wanted me to be the mother white mage and hold the Pillar of Truth but he went the wrong way to do that.

He invited the mother white mage to prepare me for that every single day for years and I never left the tower.

I had almost committed suicide by jumping off the window many times.

One day I saw a chance to escape and I took it .

I was help by a friend.

look all I wanted was to a free life and I am sorry for dragging you all into my messed up life.

I won't blame you if you return me back to my father but I would be grateful for letting me taste how freedom looks like all this while." Kayla stopped explaining and she was looking at Mark for a reaction and so was the other two.

Mark just left his face looking down saying nothing.

He was thinking of when his mother left him he felt completely empty just that he had a good dad unlike Kayla's story.

" Well I think it's wise if we take her back to her father or we might all end up in big trouble." Said Fred.

" No"

Mark opposed the statement wich came as a supprise to both Kayla and Fred but James had already predicted that.

Mark stood up and said." Be it the Grand Master or not, no one has the right to imprison another person, let alone forcing them to do what they don't want to.

If we return her now, her condition will grow three times worse.

We should let her live with us and keep it a secret. Unless one of us can't keep secrets." Mark said starring straight ahead not looking at anyone.

Everyone kept quiet for a while and James couldn't help but smile when he saw how Mark was so authoritative.

" It's fine by me if she stays, she is a good person." Said James.

Everyone was looking at Fred to say something.

" Damn it, I don't wish to be a party pooper

so I agree." Said Fred.

Kayla became very happy and she felt that a weight had been lifted off her shoulders because she no longer needed to hide her female standards to behave like a male, when around them.

They all agreed to keep it a secret and they decided to head to James' room at the other dorm but Mark said he would follow later and he stayed back.

The reason Mark stayed back was to check the rewards the system had given him, so he opponened his dashboard and read the message.

Mark was disappointed with the skill and he never really understood how it was important but his new skill called mana steal was a very big bonus for him.

Mark smiled when he activated some Flames in his had.

' So I can control any ability with mana steal,

They day for the school tournament had finally arrived.

And everyone one was gathered in the hall waiting for the big event to begin.

The school elders arrived and sat in thesame other as the last time and thesame man stood up to speak.

" Greetings to you all. As you all know today we will be having a school tournament.

The team with the most limited to will be the winner." Mr Conan said.

The Contest was about to begin and a group of people with the earth ability stepped forward and activated their abilities.

Pat if the floor of the hall rise up and formed a stage that was meant for the contest and it was then sorounded by a thick glass.

The names of the contestants were to be called from the first dorm room to the last, so the first contestants were called on the stage and it was consisted of four strings boys from different races.

One was a wolf, another vampire, another an elf and the other a stone man.
