Ophiuchus - The 13th gate

[ ⚔️ Battle Sequence - Start ⚔️ ]

Carla took the opportunity to go where (Name) is. Taking her hand immediately and going inside a room, checking the Princess's state, she let out an angry yell. She was badly beaten by getting her magic sealed and outnumbered...

     "(Name)! You have to wake up, please!" Carla shakes the tranced (Name). "I know you can't be controlled easily, you said you're strong! Did you forget your promise to Lucy?! You'll stay strong as long as you're alive! You wouldn't give up until the end!"

     "Carla... I can't..." (Name) murmured. "I can't risk it... I'll die..." She told the exceed.

     "DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU'LL KILL ANYONE WHO'LL TRY TO HURT YOU?!" Carla yelled at (Name), which broke her trance. "EXACTLY! YOU NEED TO STAND UP AGAIN NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!"

     "Carla..."

Bind the Heart!

     "His snakes are so annoying!!!" Floyd complained as he kept bouncing the snakes back to Jamil's body. "I could just eat them all in one gulp!"

Before the others could get another hit, they got hit by the manifestation behind Jamil who punched their ground. It caused them to hit the nearby walls, breaking some bones...

     "Jamil-san..." (Name) appeared on the battlefield, still sore from the bruises she got. "I know I'm weak and a dimwit. I never wanted this in the first place, but I always wanted some payback for what you did to me. You don't mind interrupting me, yes?" She murmured and took the forbidden black key.

Open Gate of the Snake Charmer! Ophiuchus!

Opening the gate, a huge snake appeared from a black circle summoned on the ground, and (Name)'s magic cuffs broke to their own accord. Engulfing the area with its large body, the large snake hissed at Jamil and its manifestation. Without saying a word and her face focused on the ground, she pointed at Jamil, signaling to finish the fight...

Hearing Jamil's voice echoing in pain within Ophiuchus's body, made Kalim close his mouth and eyes. (Name) watched as Ophiuchus swallowed the manifestation behind Jamil...

Ophiuchus, Gate Closure

True Ice Magic - Iceberg Comet

     She's targeted Jamil, who's still trying to stand up, even tho he's been beaten up by Ophiuchus, "I'm afraid you chose the wrong opponent, Jamil-san." She whispered to him before he passes out. Leaving the battlefield, she didn't notice a snake was gonna target her.

Ice Make - Hail

A bunch of snow pellets targeted the remaining snake. Jamil slowly turned into his normal form, but he was still unconscious. (Name), on the other hand, used the wall to keep her standing. She used all of her magic again to release herself from the magic cuffs, coughing in pain...

[ 💭 ??? Sequence - Start 💭 ]

The tiger once again appeared in front of (Name), who guided her from the very first dream. It scooped (Name) out of the ground to be carried as she (once again) travels to someone's cause of their Overblot...

     "Hey, Jamil!" Someone called. "Let's play! I'm gonna beat you in mancala this time!" (Name) found the kid who was calling Jamil. It was Kalim, but his younger version.

     "This again?" The young Jamil asked, looking at the mancala. "You know I just kept winning, why not we try to play another game instead?" He offered, but he got hit by his mother. "Jamil, don't you dare take that tone to the young master!" She chided.

     "Fine."

     His parents bowed at Kalim, "Young Master Kalim, thank you for playing with our foolish son." His mother smiled at the young Kalim, "You're very kind to invite our son to play with you. We truly appreciate it."

"My very first memory as a child was seeing my family bow before Kalim and his parents... I couldn't stand it..."

     "Listen well, Jamil." His father took Jamil's shoulders. "You must always lose if you're competing with Kalim. You must never outdo him in any sort."

     "I know you're a smart boy. Surely you'll understand what position we're in, right?" Jamil's mother added.

     "Fine..." The young Jamil nodded.

"Kalim's parents are more famous and well-known than mine... Therefore that makes Kalim more important than me... I have to hold myself to outdoing anything he does, so I won't be a disappointment to the family. I could only pretend I'm incapable, that I'm beneath him."

(Name) felt bad at the look on the young Jamil's face. At such a young age, he was destined to serve the Asim Family. No wonder he couldn't stand it, he did have a childhood, but not as free as the others. The scene completely changed...

     Voices of Kalim echoed within the places, "Jamil! Look, I won first place in the dancing contest!", "Hehe! I did it, 3 to two!", "I scored a 75/100 on the magic test you helped me with, Jamil? What did you get? Oh, 70. Hey, it's okay! Cheer up!"

"You're not beating me. I'm just letting you win, do you know that? Look at you, smiling stupidly! Get the idea, you moron!"

      The scene changed and it was the ceremony of the new students, "Me? Dorm Leader of Scarabia? I don't know the consequences, but I'll do my best!" Kalim exclaimed in front of the Headmaster. He turned around and hugged Kalim, "You can count on me, Jamil!"

The tiger made a low growl and the scene changed once more...

     "Headmaster, why are you making Kalim the Dorm Leader of Scarabia?" Jamil asked as he slammed his fist on the Headmaster's table. "He's a weak magician, I'm more worthy than he is! He's also a second year, are you out of your mind?"

     "A dorm leader in the second year isn't unheard of, it's very common in this school, Viper-san," The Headmaster stated. Jamil tried to argue with the Headmaster when he got silenced, "Viper... I'm sure you know providing education has its costs. Asim's family's contribution to this school is quite great, they made Scarabia even more extravagant. You're a clever boy, surely you understand that?"

"All the adults kept saying about how I understand why it is what it is because I'm mature and clever... Have they tried to understand me?"

A Jamil was sitting within the darkness of his murky childhood, (Name) got out of the tiger and tried to reach him. She wants to make Jamil feel at least comfort from her. Until Jamil pushed her hand away from him, following a Kalim saying "Jamil, we always help each other out!" Jamil covered his body with a blanket...

"Stop... Please..."

"I... Just stop, will you?! You are nothing to me, Kalim... EVER! My only wish is just... Just be number one, too..."
