Eating My Teacher (1) *

Now, that sea snake.

Defeating it would be easy for me, but how could I do so without revealing too much of my abilities to Amelia?

The snake twisted its long, scaly body and suddenly surged toward me, its eyes gleaming with predatory intent. 

But just then, a solid wall of earth rose up between us, blocking the snake's attack.

"C-Come out!" Amelia's voice trembled with urgency.

The snake, undeterred, struck the barrier fiercely before launching itself at me again, jaws wide open. 

Without hesitation, I plunged into the water, feeling the cold rush over me as the snake followed closely, its sleek form cutting through the water with ease.

"Nathan!!" Amelia's shout echoed, but I ignored it, focusing on swimming deeper and putting distance between us.

Once I was far enough from Amelia, I turned around, a confident smile spreading across my face.

I ceased my forward motion, letting my legs keep me suspended in the water.
