Walking through the green mist, Mel looked no different from a demon clawed straight out of the underworld. With his towering height, broad shoulders, and claws that struck terror even in his human form, the Tenth Ward members who saw him could do nothing but step aside.
Unlike the ward he belonged to, the other wards didn't just toil inside the alcoves; they had guys stationed in the corridors too, and the news reached the ears of all the Tenth Ward students in no time. They stepped out one by one and watched him pass right in front of them, but nobody possessed the courage to attack Mel.
Without a doubt, the first thought that crossed their minds was that he was here to attack; they assumed he wanted to cripple them before today's weigh-in. If it came down to it, they would fight no matter the cost; they had already coated their pickaxes with their Elemental Energies, but what they expected didn't happen.
