Chapter 73 Fooling The Seniors Into A Trap

"This way, let's go", the tracker shouted out loud as he pointed even deeper into the forest.

On the other hand, Sirius kept running. He didn't look back and continued to lead everyone deeper into the forest.

"Whoosh",

"Bam",

"Crack",

"Arghh",

Sirius cried in pain as a projectile hit him at point blank and forced him to stop his escape.

"To think that a small wolf would try to fool us and run away", A second-year student whose body had transformed into that of a snow leopard said as he stood on his fours.

"Keke, to think that juniors would become this arrogant. Humph, let's finish him here and leave. I don't want those instructors to come and see us involved", Another second-year student said.

"Yes, let's finish him fast", the third second-year student said.

"Awoo", Sirius howled at their provocation and rushed forward taking the seniors head on.

Well, what else could Sirius do? The seniors were just as strong, if not stronger than him, and also the fact that Sirius had no long-range attacks whatsoever he was a pure melee fighter.

"Shing",

"Clank, Splatt, Clank",

Sirius slashed his claws as he attacked and parried against the seniors but couldn't block the attack of the senior who had transformed into a snow leopard.

Due to that, a large gash opened up on his shoulder while blood continued to flow from it.

Holding his shoulder to stop the blood flow, Sirius turned to one of the trees and jumped in retreat.

"Spatt, Bamm, Thudd",

But sadly, his retreat was blocked as he got hit once more, causing him to fall from the trees.

Seeing that he had no other choice, Sirius thought of accepting his fate. After all, he knew that they wouldn't kill him but only seriously injure him.

As for why they wouldn't dare to kill him? The Academy would kick them out if they did and no one wanted to be kicked out. Not in such times anyway.

Just as Sirius was about to undo his transformation, a voice sounded,

"Now, now, it wouldn't be good if people knew that three seniors are bossing around and playing against one junior", A voice came from one of the trees.

"Who is it, show yourself coward", A second-year student spoke as he looked at all the trees in fear.

"Coward? And me, are you sure you aren't calling yourself that", the voice spoke again.

"Who the hell are you, just come out once. I will make sure to make an example out of you", the senior who had transformed into a snow leopard said.

"You sure you could handle me? Well, If you are so confident, then here I come", the voice spoke.

Right after the voice spoke, the forest a bit darker while the trees started to wither.

After which, the world started to spin while eerie blood-colored eyes popped out everywhere in the darkness glaring at the seniors as if they were their lunch.

"Humph, a half-baked illusionist can become so arrogant. Here take my punch", the second-year student spoke as he punched at one of the trees.

His punch acted as if it broke reality itself as the surrounding turned into shattered glass and broke down. Showing 5 people standing in front of an injured Sirius.

"Nice, I am sure Noah will make progress and strengthen his illusion even more next time", the voice spoke again.

If one paid attention to it, the voice was coming from the student who stood in the middle. The student was naturally Ray and all that was happening was something that he planned.

"So, seniors I think you all have had your fun. Now you can go your way and we will go our way, after all, you are outnumbered and even somewhat exhausted from all that running. Whereas, we don't want to have any unnecessary fights nor do we want to hurt you all", Ray spoke in the most sarcastic way possible.

Well, he intended to anger the seniors to the extent that they make haste in their judgment and initiate the fight.

"Humph, who are you to order us around, and what does it even matter if we are outnumbered? We are stronger than you are. You are just little cubs who haven't even seen the world. To think you would act this way", the snow leopard senior spoke as he spat on the ground.

The senior was very smart and wasn't eager on attacking first. Not only that, but Ray also understood that the senior was waiting for others to arrive.

That way, he wouldn't have to do anything and the others would handle Ray and their team while these seniors would enjoy the show.

"I see, Senior I know you are smart. But so what if you are smart? You see, my friend Elina over here is very good at writing curses and has written some very good curses for you all. I am sure you would love to have these curses", Ray spoke as he tried to trick the people in front of him.

As for the curses, Elina had written some but to initiate them, she needed to touch the one she had cursed. But since the seniors didn't know, Ray tried to bluff his way in.

"Well, since Seniors are so strong, could you please let us go back? We won't tell anyone, we promise", Ray said as he took a step back along with everyone else on the team.

"Stop, where do you think you are going after putting those curses on us", The second-year senior spoke in fright.

Listening to the senior's words, Ray smirked and said,

"Sure senior, she just needs to touch you to take back the curse. So if you could please cooperate a bit"

"Hey, Dan. I feel something fishy going on. What if he is lying", the snow leopard senior spoke.

"Hey, what is it with you being so scared? You know they can't hurt us in a frontal assault, so they might have used those curses but seeing our strength, they are afraid and now want to run away. So let's get rid of these curses and then we beat them", another second-year senior spoke.

"Okay, but I don't have a good feeling about it", the snow leopard senior spoke but he still gave in.

With that, the seniors moved forward, although a bit vigilant they didn't think for a second they were going to be attacked.

With that, they moved forward and stood in front of Ray,

"Now, remove the curses", the snow leopard senior spoke.

"Okay, Elina could you please remove the curses from our seniors", Ray spoke as he motioned to Elina.

"Yeah, no worries", Elina spoke as she moved forward and touched the three seniors with her curse-writing Quill.

The seniors upon seeing that the one who "removed", their curses was a sweet and cute girl, totally let their guard down.

Not knowing of the hellish trap they had walked in. Because the moment Elina tapped them, rather than having curses removed, she place countless curses on them.

Also, Ray and other members of the team took a step back and got into their attack formation.

"All done", Elina spoke in a sweet voice before she also took some steps back and joined the formation.

"See, nothing happened. You were worrying for nothing", A second-year senior spoke.

"Hey, Dan what's wrong with your skin? Why is it turning all red and what are those green spots", The snow leopard senior pointed out in fright.

"Huh, why is it itching so much", the snow leopard senior shouted as he started to scratch his body all over.

"What did you do to us, you witch", the snow leopard senior shouted as he pointed towards Elina.

"Well, let me make it easy for you, She cursed you with tens of curses. Now, what are you going to do, kill her? Best her? Well, I dare you to", Ray spoke while flames tongued on his hands.

"Attack", with a single command, Ray and his teammates started their assault and revenge on the seniors.
