Chapter 17_Magical Ethics

The teacher's question received lots of remarks from the class. Some students said they would deal with the thief because the law was a disrupted system and could not be trusted, others said they would hand over the criminal to the cops because it was the law and every patriot must follow the law.

Teacher Hadleigh received all the comments with patience while nodding her head whenever any stood made their comments known.

I personally thought of dealing with the criminal myself but since I was a young adult and I have to trust the law as a patriot, I believe l should allow the law deal with the criminal. If I dealt with him and hurt him, I would have turned a criminal too. What if what I considered good was actually the wrong thing? I was immature and inexperienced

so l guess I'll wait for the law to take it's Course.

And if the law did not execute Justice as it should, that would be the fault of the law and not me because I have done my part.

Teacher Hadleigh finally spoke " You have all thought well and I see why some of you wanted to deal with the criminal themselves but as a magical hero, you save people not hurt people, Not even the bad guys. Your number one principle as a magical ethic should be never to use your powers to hurt others unless the situation was hopeless."

She spoke my mind exactly!

"In this situation, there were other legal solutions. The law was there, the government there to punish the offender not you. Even if you did catch the thief, do not put laws in your hand, never do so" she chastised.

I knew she would be as smart as she looked, she was meeting up to my expectations. I loved her already!

A girl raised her hand, it was one of the triple D-rangers.

"The law is so messed up, if I let the criminal go he might hurt another " she said with such a disgusting tiny voice that one would know she faked and intentionally allowed her sound so tiny. It was too obvious!

Maybe she thought it was cool to speak that way, I wish I could tell her it wasn't.

"Nobody is telling you to let the thief go young lady, the right thing to do is to hand him over to those who would use legal ways to deal with him" Teacher Hadleigh indirectly shunned her with her words and the rest of the class bursted out laughing except for her friends.

When I said they were stupid, I knew what I was saying.

"Silence please " teacher Hadleigh cautioned the class.

"I will be giving you lists of some critical magical ethics you should keep to guide you throughout your supernatural journey but in the next class please I want you to list your own personal principles for me. I will be looking forward to it"' she told us.

"Yes Mrs. Hadleigh " half the class answered her.

" Miss not mrs" she corrected.

Wow she was so hot yet single!

"Your number one magical ethic should be.." she listed the same ethics to us.

1- Never take law into your hands.

2- Never use your powers for selfish reasons.

3-Don't practice dark ways of channeling your powers.

4-Don't Ioose your morals because you have powers.

5- Be true to your powers by learning how to better yourself with your powers don't make it change you negatively.

"Please list your own well thought and jotted down principles for magic I will be collecting and reviewing them in the next class" she said to us before dismissing the class.

Immediately she stepped out, we all rushed back to meet our friends and went back to Our seats.

"Why did she have to change our seats" Mackenzie complained. "I sat down with a fat girl who kept on picking her nose " she groaned causing me and Mia to laugh a wholesome laughter.

She stood up "I hate you guys" she murmured and was leaving.

"Where are you going?" I shouted behind her.

"Where else, the kitchen" she threw her arms up.

Oh no, I almost forgot the punishment, We

had to go help in cleaning the kitchen. Me and Mia stood up reluctantly and sluggishly while we sulked.

The others were starting to go their rooms while some were still chatting but we have to go to the kitchen to work.

Ajax, it was all because of him.

We went outside the class and was going to the dining hall building where we eat, the kitchen must be there.

The seniors were outside their classes, everyone was done with classes for the day. Some of them made comments about us as we passed by, we could not say anything but had to walk on faster to ignore hearing their dirty remarks.

Suddenly five senior boys were following us, at first we did not know it was us they were trailing until we got outside the classes building and was walking near the dining area building and we saw them walk in the same direction behind us.

"Hey you! One of them shouted.

We knew they were talking to us but we dared not look back. Why do we keep on going from one problem to another in this college?

"I'm talking to you, wait!" Another shouted.

"Don't look back" Mia said to us with shaky breaths.

"Oh no, we shouldn't have passed this route, we should have passed the route from our hostel " I commented as we continued to ignore the seniors.

Suddenly, one of them was in front of us, We jumped and screamed in fright.

He had the power of speed, he used his hand to form a line which made us halt in our tracks.

Now, we were surrounded by all five of them

"You were too deaf to hear our shootings huh?" one of them shouted.

We could not say anything and were too scared to say anything not to say we do not have any answer to his question because we did heard them but ignored.

"We are sorry" Mia panicked.

" Sorry? " he repeated her words and turned to his group " Look, four eyes said she was sorry" he mocked Mia's glasses which made his friends laugh at her.

She looked down at her toes, I could tell she was sad and felt embarrassed. I clenched my fists, I wished I could make these silly seniors get down on their knees and beg.

I was still disgusted at how the first one had body-shamed Mia when another one moved close to me " Who gave you rights to possess such long legs ?"

I kept quiet and he dragged my hair, "When we ask questions, you answer"

I groaned in pain and to my greatest surprise, Mackenzie kicked him in the groin. His other group members were shocked and so was I, including Mia as I saw her adjust her glasses nervously.

"How dare you!" he charged at her. She held up her hands like she wanted to use her powers which made me confused, she could only read minds not fight in a combat. She was even not an expert at reading minds also, something she could not control yet, something that was making her

freak out.

So what the hell was she doing? What if they were top students?

"They are not top students, top students don't act like dogs" she replied my thoughts and again I was perplexed, dazed and amazed.

I never knew she was getting a hold of her powers.

The seniors laughed even harder at her "ifwe don't stay back what are you going to do? You are just a newbie with no hold of her powers yet, I bet you cannot control your powers and do not know what you are doing " one of them scoffed.

"Unlike you, I pay close attention in classes, especially my channeling class. So do not try to come closer" she warned.

I and Mia used the opportunity to run behind her.

"Stay back" she warned again when the seniors kept approaching

When he didn't stay back, a burning black energy surged from her hands and entered two of the seniors eyes. Who the hell was Mackenzie? What the hell did she do?

Mine and Mia's mouths were opened in appalation.

This was a twist of event we were not expecting.
