My Shapeshifter Mate:Falling for My Cursed Superior

IN THE ICE CAVE

Almost all the top students are present except Ceres and Agatha, and Samara is currently on the ice bed, the steam coming from the ice seeping into her pale skin.

"Why was she brought here? She should be treated instead. I'm getting y'all arrested if my friend really dies" Ruthie said, and Echo held her shoulders.

"Don't worry Ruthie. Bringing her here is the best. Blood will stop circulating in her body so far she's on the ice bed, and that's why her bleeding stopped already" she said.

"Really? Will it really bring her back?" Ruthie asked.

"Not really, but master can transfer some of his inner powers to her, she'd wake once master comes" Krishna replied behind, and she nodded.

As if he could hear, Master Duran came in immediately, and the students made way for him as he walked to the bed, taking Samara's wrist.

He placed two fingers on it to feel her pulse, and he nodded.

"She's healing"

"Healing?" Merlin asked.

"Isn't she an healer?" He replied, and Ruthie gasped.

"Gosh! I totally forgot! She is! But wait! Her body is fast in that aspect so she should have finished healing by now" she said quickly.

"She got stabbed by Orion's sword, so it might take a while" Aragon spoke.

"That tasteless, wicked, callous, cruel, devilish scum of the earth is Orion? Sounds like Onion, what an ugly name" Ruthie said with a scoff, and everyone began laughing except the master and Aragon though.

"He's the second Superior" Peony said.

"I don't care!" Ruthie shouted.

"Calm your voice down, Samara will wake up in an hour at least" Master Duran said and left.

"Y'all should leave. Staying here might slow down her healing" Aragon said.

"Me too?" Ruthie pointed to herself.

Aragon left without replying, and Peony held her.

"Don't worry, she'd be fine" she said, pulling her out with the others.

They left for the cafeteria for breakfast, and Ruthie's eyes widened when she saw the delicious foods looking ostentatious.

There's no server in sight, so it's obviously self service.

"I wish I could eat all these with Sam" she muttered.

"You won't eat?" Raven asked.

"I'm not eating anything without Sam" she replied.

"I envy the friendship" Krishna said, and Ruthie smiled at him.

He returned it before leaving to join the line with Raven, and she blushed.

"Did he just smile at me?"

She sat alone and just watched everyone else take food.

Merlin and Echo were the first to serve themselves, and they returned to the table with full trays.

"Don't tell me you both are finishing all" Ruthie said in astonishment.

"They're tiny, but they eat like elephants" Peony replied, sitting beside her with her own tray of food.

"I love your purple hair, witch" Ruthie said.

"And I love your redhead, witch" Peony replied, and they laughed.

"I'm Peony by the way" she said.

"Nice" Ruthie nodded.

"That's Raven, and that's Krishna, his friend" Peony pointed at them.

"Thanks, and those two foodies are Merlin and Echo right?" Ruthie replied.

"You know their names already?" Peony smiled.

"Yes. They were the ones who came to get i and Sam" Ruthie said.

Agatha entered the crowdy cafeteria, flaunting her hair proudly, walking like she owns the world like her usual self till she got to the line.

Instead of staying in the last place, she went to the front, not minding the others in line.

She spent over ten minutes to take her food before leaving the line, settling down alone on a table.

"Wait ... Did that just happen? Did that disgusting, arrogant, proud girl ... Did she just get ahead of everyone in line?" Ruthie blinked.

"That's Agatha, she's the princess of a distant kingdom called Sullivan. Her father is a king, so she gets special treatment" Peony replied.

"I don't care! So far she's in here, isn't she a disciple too?" Ruthie said.

"Well... Ceres is the only one who can say that to her face" Peony replied.

"Ceres?" Ruthie said.

"That's her" Peony said, pointing at Ceres who's just coming in.

"I like people like her, I should get to know her" Ruthie made to stand, but Peony pulled her back.

"Don't go to her, she only talks to Raven who's her brother or Krishna who's her crush, any other person is a no, she's naturally bitter" Peony said.

"Wait... didn't you say Raven and Krishna are friends? She's crushing on her brother's friend?" Ruthie said.

"Sure, love is not forbidden in here" Peony replied, eating another forklift from her scrambled eggs.

"We're back!" Krishna and Raven joined the table, then Merlin and Echo came over to the same table too. They're currently on the third tray of food.

Ceres joined them too after getting her food, and Ruthie waved at her, but she shunned her and just ate.

"Told you, she hates people" Peony said.

"Now I know" Ruthie rolled eyes at Ceres.

Aragon came in, and the attention of 50 percent of the girls turned to him. He might be a superior, but he's same age with most of the disciples just like Orion, and he's got an handsome but cold face.

The only difference between the superiors and disciples is that the superiors reached the last stage of their power cultivation already, but the disciples are just starting their cultivation.

"Whoa, girls crush huh? My Sam even joined the girls already" Ruthie said.

"He might be cold, but Superior Aragon is actually caring" Echo said over a mouthful of food.

Aragon got his food and went to his own special table at a different spot in the cafeteria where he settled.

Agatha took her food tray and left her table, going to him immediately.

"I feel like eating here today" she said, sitting in front of him.

Aragon said nothing, just eating silently.

"Wait...when did you guys resume?" Ruthie asked.

"We all resumed this week, just different days, and we haven't done much" Raven replied.

"Heard we're going on our first test this evening" Krishna said.

"Test?" Ruthie blinked.

"Yes. Test of our powers, and I can't wait" Merlin said, drinking some water.

"She's awake!" Echo pointed at the door, and everyone turned there to see Samara standing there with an angry look.

The veins on her neck are out.

"Sam!" Ruthie rushed to her with the rest.

"Where's that bastard who wounded me?" She asked.

"Sam...

"Where's him!!" Samara interrupted, and Ruthie jumped.

"Calm down Sam. Superior Orion is not here now"

"Onion? So he's the second superior? Is that why he decided to stab me at first sight? What if I died!!!" Samara screamed crazily, and Aragon entered the circle, making her scream stop abruptly.

Her mouth remained open as he felt her temperature by touching her forehead, and she stood still.

Agatha lost her appetite immediately she saw the scene.

Aragon actually touched that girl?

She poured away her remaining food in anger.

"You're not burning, seems you're totally fine" Aragon said and made to remove his hand from her forehead, but Samara held it back.

"No. Keep touching" she said, but he removed it nevertheless, and he walked out of the cafeteria

"I can now die in peace, he touched me" Samara rested her palms on her chest, and a loud bell sounded from the assembly immediately.

They all left the cafeteria for the assembly where they met just Master Duran on seat, no chiefs in sight.

They lined accordingly, waiting for what he has to say.

"This evening will be the first test of power, y'all will be going on a journey to the woods where you'd face several challenges. It might turn dangerous, and that's why we'd have y'all distributed under the two Superiors who'd accompany you in the journey" Master Duran talked.

"I hope I'll be under Superior Aragon" Ruthie said

"Me too" Merlin and Echo said at a time.

"Anywhere I am, I'm fine" Krishna said, and Ruthie looked at him.

"He's so cool" she muttered, then her eyes met with Ceres who's also staring at him.

Ceres rolled eyes before looking away, and Ruthie scoffed.

"She's not even that pretty"

"I want to be under Superior Aragon too" Raven said.

"Me too please" Peony said.

Agatha only smiled.

"And know that the Superior you'd be under will also be the one to oversee your practicing classes" Master Duran said again, and everyone held their breaths as a broad sheet appeared on his palm.

He started calling the names, starting with the ones under Aragon.

"Peony"

"Raven"

"Krishna"

"Ruthie"

"Echo"

"Merlin"

"Ceres"

"Agatha"

"There's just one disciple under Orion" Master Duran continued, and they all went silent.

Samara held held her breath this time, hoping it's not what she's thinking.

"Samara" Master Duran finally said, and Samara fainted.
