Chapter 25: Lucky traitor

1788882703

Mio looks completely embarrassed. Just then, alarms go flashing red, and someone’s voice booms over the intercom: “Everyone, the teacher Mana has been found to be a traitor. Please locate her and report to any other teachers.” A lady's face goes completely white. Kuro’s mouth drops. “That’s… that’s my teacher.” He points at the lady who went completely white, who suddenly backs away from everyone. “So! Looks like you idiots finally found out who I am. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I’ll just make sure you can’t ever do anything again.” “We’ll see who can’t do anything again, Mana,” Sensei Haru says in a very angry tone. She pulls out some cards. “Running SPADES!” She throws the cards and giant spades start moving towards us. One penetrated my arm so fast I didn’t even know it was there. I yell in pain. Everyone charges towards her. She builds a paper wall thicker and stronger than concrete. All the kids start punching and slashing the wall. Takashi screams: “THIS DAMN WALL WILL NEVER BREAK!” Apparently, though, all it took was one of Sensei Haru’s slashes. I just stand there. I’ve given up. Ra was moving my body at supersonic speeds, but my body wasn’t made for that. I feel like if I moved an inch, my body would dismantle itself. No, what am I thinking? I’m not going to become strong like that that's a loser mentality. I don’t care. I run into battle, dodging incoming spades. Mana seems to be getting surrounded, then she pulls a card. “Well folks, looks like my luck is pretty great today. I got the joker. Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone besides me were to suddenly become immobile for five seconds!” Everyone stops in their tracks and I can’t move my body. She starts charging a bunch of diamonds and spades with energy. “What the hell is this technique?” I yell. “Well you see, I can manipulate what's going on with just some playing cards. I can make structures or walls out of them.” The five seconds are over. I charge and she releases the cards. Spades and diamonds pierce me. Sensei Haru goes for a slash but then I see Mana holding a card with a clover on it, then even though Sensei Haru had perfectly lined up the slash according to how it looked, it completely missed. She starts laughing. “The clover is one of the strongest abilities I have. It gives me luck and I can cause opponents to miss or increase my chances of getting a card. Now, I suppose it's my time to leave.” She creates wings out of cards and flies out, escaping. Kuro finally says: “Haru, he could’ve killed her the moment she backed away, but he didn’t. Mana was his best friend in high school, but he later stopped being friends after Mana left one of their friends in a battle for money.”
