Prime Cut

"You okay sis?!" Scarlet asked noticing my reaction.

"Huh?.... Yeah did you see!!! I did it!!!" I yelled snapping me back to reality.

"Yes you did!!!" Scarlet smiled.

"I must say..... Atlantis is very lucky to have you guys." Ashley smiled.

"Okay Guys.... next I want to see your intermediate spells.... Jay and Daisy for you that would your level two spell... and the rest of you a level one spell please." Scarlet requested with a smile.

"Can I wait till it's Daisy turn?.." Jay asked Scarlet.

"Sure! Then you're next Helen!" Scarlet shouted.

"Okay!" Helen said rubbing her hands make them glow a bright green then with both her index fingers rubbed a line across her cheek and went on all fours. Her muscles began to swell drastically as white hairs began growing out from all over her body, her fingers began to widen and her hands became paws, her mouth and nose elongated to a long snout growing into large extremely sharp teeth. Helen let out a large wold howl in the air as she finished transforming into a giant wolf as tall as my hip, looking at Scarlet with her blue eyes.

"Nice a Shapeshifter as well!" Scarlet clapped.

"She can shift into animals!" I looked at her in shock.

"Yeah... it's a pretty common thing for druids." Grace answered.

Helen walked up to me getting close to me rubbing her fur against my leg, running my hand down her back the ice white fur was extremely soft like a teddy bear. "Your fur is so soft!" I said kneeling down giving her a hug and a rub. Some reason I'm normally afraid of dogs... but knowing it was Helen gave me a sense of comfort.

"You're up Grace!" Scarlet yelled smiling.

"Sure! This is pretty cool!" Grace said sheathing her bow on her back, pulling out a leaf and a berry and muttering something and placed it onto her mouth and began to chewing. After a few seconds she placed her hands around her mouth and began breathing out a thick grey mist covering all of us in a think dense mist rendering us all blind barely being able to see my hand in front of my face.

"Ohhh not bad." Scarlet shouted through the mist. "Ashley could you?.." She requested.

"Sure." He replied followed with clanging of metal on the ground followed with the sound of whirling gears, the mist began to thin as the sound of a vacuum started, before long all the mist was swallowed up but a small spherical ball that resemble the shape of a magic 8 ball.

"Okay Jay and Daisy you're up!" Scarlet shouted.

Jay nodded mumbling something and touching Daisy with the tip of his wand making her illuminate blue slightly. Daisy suddenly grew twice as large, looking extremely daunting. Daisy gave Jay a nod and a thumbs up. Quickly stomping her way to the hologram with a large gold club swing the head of her mace glowed with a mixture of an orange flame and a white flame striking the hologram and causing it to ignite in orange and white flame for a few seconds.

"Nice Enchanting your weapon with Holy and Fire damage!" Scarlet cheered, "Okay Sis you're up! Remember to believe!" Scarlet yelled.

"Glacius-Spculum." I yelled filled with determination pointing my wand at the central hologram. The air at the tip of the wand began to condense, the water vapour aiding in the manifesting of a large think frozen stake made of pure ice. As the spell charged with Arcannum my aim wavered as I struggled to maintain control of my wand. Releasing the spell the stake rocketed to the central hologram exploding on contact sending deadly ice shards outwards like a grenade impaling the other holograms innumerable tiny razor shard shards.

"Nicely done!" Scarlet cheered, "Just remember these area of effect spells so it will also hit your friends so take care when using them." Scarlet added.

"Not bad not bad.... you guys are a lot stronger then I expected." Ashley smiled.

"So.... from what I can see... Jay and Daisy is a little ahead of everyone else.... but in terms of power and mastery ... you guys are pretty good." Scarlet smiled standing up. "Because I don't want you guys burning up too much Arcanum.... we'll focus on mastering Cantrips and level one spells for not till you all get better." Scarlet explained.

"Mr Ashley can we see something you can do?..... Paul said you're equivalent to an S Rank.... right?...." Grace asked excitedly.

"So you wanna see what artificers can do?..." He said with a smile looking proud standing up and walking towards us.

Helen howled hearing Ashley offer taking a seat on the floor. Taking a seat next to her I found out why everyone preferred real fur coats for winter weather, it was extremely soft and incredibly warm.

"Okay.... so I use this to Paralyze things." He said pulling out a small metallic disk no bigger than a coin from his robe and throwing it at a hologram. It attached itself onto the hologram but appeared to do nothing....

"..... Are you sure it's working?..." Grace asked seeing nothing happen to the hologram or the disk not emitting anything…..

"Yup.... it's a hologram it can't move anyways what did you expected." Ashley laughed.

"I dunno.... something..... anything…." Grace replied.

"Want me to throw it on you?.." He asked

"Nono... I believe it works." Grace quickly replied taking a few steps back holding her palms out a little in defence.

"It's not painful... it just stops you do anything." Ashley said.

"Sure!!" Jay replied holding his hand up.

"Catch!" Ashley yelled chucking a disk on him. As soon as the disk landed in Jay's hand he froze like a statue.

"Jay?.. you alright?" Grace asked noticing his frozen state.

"See I told you it works." Ashley said chuckling looking at everyone who was worried for Jay. "It's fine the disk only has enough power to last an hour or two." He laughed.

"WHAT??!! A couple hours??!!" I shouted in shock.

"I mean.. You're welcome to take it off him if you want." Ashley chuckled.

"Will if stun me aswell??!!...." I asked in shock.

"Of course…. Why wouldn't it?..." Ashley chuckled.

"Ashley stop distracting them!" Scarlet laughed.

"Okay Okay..." He said walking up to Jay... "So you can switch off the device by simply touching the centre." He explained taking the dick off gay and showing us the red centre of the disk.

"That was so weird!" Jay said the moment he regained his ability to move taking a step back.

"What happened? How did it feel?" Grace asked.

"It was so weird!..... I could hear you all... but nothing moved.... I couldn't even talk or move my eyes!" Jay said in shock.

"Yeah…. this is a nifty gadget to catch criminals.." Ashley said taking the other disk off the hologram and pocketing them.

"Want to see more?.." He smiled walking back to us.

"Not now Ash.... Let's not distract them too much." Scarlet insisted.

"Okay fine..." He replied looking a little upset like a child not being allowed to show off his toys.

"Right as mentioned before... let's focus on cantrips and level one spells, I want to see you guys do as many as you can.... I would like to see a wide range of spells please." Scarlet requested.

"Okay!" we all replied getting ready.

Helen morphed out of her wolf form taking out her staff. "Can you talk in your forms?.." I asked her.

"Nope... but I can only bark or growl... as a wolf." She replied.

"How does it feel?." I asked curiously.

"It's feels a bit weird at first but I got used to it." She answered with a smile.
