Into the World of Twisted Wonderland Pt 2

🐍 Schemer of the Scalding Sands: Chapter 35 🐍

Back in the dorm, Jamil sat on the floor, laughing while students stand around, waiting for his commands. "Bring on the food! Bring on the drinks!" He happily says as students nod, acknowledging his commands. "Today we celebrate the disposal of the old, useless king, and the crowning of a far more deserving successor!" He says as he gets up and walks toward the balcony, leaning on the railing. "Ahhh, I'm on top of the world. I've got all the magic I could ever want at my fingertips."

"I couldn't agree more, Master," a student says, agreeing with him.

"You are the most fit to be king of Scarabia, Jamil," another student says.

"Long live Master Jamil!" A student exclaims.

"Ha ha ha!" Jamil laughs. "Thaaat's it. Go on, keep singing my praises." He closes his eyes.

"I never realized what a gallant figure you cut..." Azul states.

"Oho?" Jamil says in interest.

"You oughta LIVE on a throne..." Grim adds.

"And?" Jamil smiles.

"Your intelligence is beyond compare..." Jade adds.

"Go on," Jamil says.

"There's royalty, and then there's YOU..." Floyd adds.

"You look so strong and powerful!" Kalim says.

"I prostrate myself before you," Angel says.

Jamil smiles at the compliments. "Heh, you flatter me..." He opens his eyes, seeing that the six were in front of him. "Wait, it's YOU?!" He exclaims in shock. "I sent you to the ends of this dimension! How did you get back so fast?"

"I filled a dry river with water and we swan back," Kalim states.

"Not that it was a cakewalk, I'll tell ya," Floyd groans. "I'm pretty worn out!"

"What?!" Jamil angrily exclaims. "Tch...Now I see," he glares at the six. "You used Kalim's signature spell. Hmph," he smirks. "So your little trick had a use after all, and he I'd written it off as a worthless spell only good for watering plants or filling a pool."

"Heh. You clearly don't appreciate Kalim's power for what it is, then," Azul states.

Kalim looks at Jamil. "Jamil...Now I see what you've thought of me all this time. There can be no question now. You're a coward and a traitor!" He declares.

Jamil only scoffs at the declaration and smirks. "Fool. That's what you get for trusting me blindly."

"Face me in combat," Kalim declares. "I'll win back the housewarden seat you've stolen from me."

"You accuse ME of stealing?" Jamil asks, offended by the statement. "Hmph! How dare you. YOU'RE the one who stole everything from ME!" The air around the lounge started to get heavier, black mist and electricity starting to gather around Jamil. "Now you shall witness my true power! AAAAAAAH HA HA HA HA!" The figure from before starts to appear behind him.

The five rise their guard at Jamil, preparing their pens. "Angel," Kalim says, "You have to stay back while we deal with Jamil!"

"That would be the best idea," Azul adds. "After all, you are the key piece to helping Jamil restore his senses." Angel nods and walks away, hiding behind a pillar, trying to avoid any danger. "Now then gentlemen and Grim," Azul says as he looks at Jamil. "Shall we help our dear classmate to come back to his senses?"

"Yes, sir. / Yes sir!" Jade and Floyd say as they ready their pens.

Jamil smirks at the five. "Cower before my might!" He says as prepares a spell, the ground starting to rumble. "Phenomenal...cosmic...power!" The figure behind him roars as Jamil releases the spell, pillars of magic coming from the ground, the five dodging out of the way to avoid them.
