Chapter 31: Earth Magic

"Serena!" John said with a happy confused expression.

"What happened?" Serena asked as she walked up to them.

"It's a long story..." John replied.

"Ah, I see... So he's not always reckless..." Muttered Serena.

"Oi." John recoiled.

"Anyway, why was he after you? Eleanor," Serena asked,

"Even if you ask me... I'm not sure... I was hidden but somehow he saw through it. Light magic isn't that good for fighting until you can use advanced class spells..." Replied Eleanor,

'I guess light magicians have it hard…' John realised.

"I'm guessing he was just farming for badges." John said as he looked towards the direction they headed.

"Yeah, that explains it, I thought he might have been someone after her, but I doubt there would be any students doing that." Said Serena.

'Don't jinx it' John inwardly cursed.

"So what's the plan?" Serena asked as she looked at John.
