Chapter 102: Inner Arsonist!
"If you want to get to them, you have to go through me!"
Finding themselves surrounded, All the Amazons could they"ll they were screwed especially looking at Alvin who looked ready to pounce at them at any moment once they let their guard down.
*Tch… I"m sure Melinda isn"t going to let me hear the end of this, probably my rights in the tribe would be further reduced after this*
Thinking of this, Diana"s face went gloomy.
Although most of the tribesmen respected her on a normal day, she knew the truth wasn"t actually the case.
As Melinda"s younger sister and current matriarch and daughter of the former matriarch, Diana"s status can be said to be unchallenged right after Melinda.
However, being second in command wasn"t something Diana could be satisfied with.
Due to this, whenever she had the opportunity, Diana took the chance to recruit some cronies into her command preparing to fight for the head position.
Unfortunately, Melinda wasn"t an easy person to plot against, especially with Morgana her chief advisor beside her.
Under both their command, not of Diana"s plans can be said to have been carried out successfully rather, a number of them backfired resulting in her being seen as the problem child of the tribe.
This was also one of the main reasons why Elenore was hesitant to follow her order, obviously worried that Diana would use Aoma and Lilith to carry out another of her many unsuccessful schemes.
Do all this, adding to the current situation, Diana could already imagine her little remaining prestige further plummeting as well as Melinda using this as an opportunity to further put restrictions on her
Sighing slightly, Diana knew she had to try and salvage the current situation, not because she was scared of Alvin and the rest, but rather because she was unwilling to lose against Melinda in such a manner.
"Hands up! Get on your knees with your hands behind your head!"
Just as Diana was about to start thinking about a solution, Alvin"s shout suddenly rang out reaching her ears
Turning to look at him, Although Diana didn"t know what it was, but looking at the bone staff in Alvin"s hands, Diana could feel a tinge of danger.
*d.a.m.n! What are these strange people holding in their hands, and why do I feel so much danger!?"
At this time, Diana noticed that Alvin wasn"t the only one that held such a weapon in his hand rather everyone surrounding them held one although the danger they made her feel wasn"t as strong as the one in Alvin"s hand.
Feeling this danger, Diana couldn"t help but feel shocked. She herself knows how strong she can be, basically whenever they go hunting, she always comes back unhindered and uninjured
In fact, her strength had been known by most inhabitants of their hunting zone so much so that most beasts started running whenever they saw her figure.
Now thinking of herself who was feared far and wide by beast and man alike, although weaker by the night, Diana still couldn"t believe the danger she felt from the weapons held in their hand. freewe(b)
Watching the staff in Alvin"s hand vigilantly, Diana took a deep breath.
"h.e.l.lo? Who are you, are you sure we aren"t having a misunderstanding?"
Completely putting away the earlier arrogance from earlier, Diana put on a smile as she tried to ease the situation
Unfortunately, Alvin wasn"t having any of it.
"Get down! Don"t let me repeat myself!"
Looking at Diana"s figure, Alvin at this time had lost it
Due to the earlier explosions earlier, the inner pyromaniac and arsonist in Alvin seemed to wake up, it was only due to a bit of will power he hadn"t blasted Diana to smithereens
*d.a.m.n! Why is this happening now! I thought it had stopped!*
Biting his lips trembling, Alvin was trying his best to remain in control.
Ever since he stayed in the cave with Alvin, George, and Elric for a month, this problem had always plagued him
During that one month, apart from the occasional research, explosions were the one thing that gave him a source of enjoyment and relaxation, so much so that even after escaping the cave, explosions had become a part of him
Now whenever he sees or creates an explosion, Alvin"s mind suddenly switches to arsonist mode trying to blow up everything in sight, thankfully due to all the work in Hogwarts lately, and his personal efforts Alvin thought he was already cured
Unfortunately, that doesn"t seem to be the case. Thanks to the consecutive Lilths and Alma"s explosions, Alvin was completely on the verge of awakening
Just when Alvin was trying to calm himself, Diana"s voice suddenly reached his ears
"Um…. Can you put down the weapons in your hands, let"s all try and act civilised here" said Diana.
Looking at the person in front who didn"t want to listen to his orders, Alvin felt inexplicably angry. Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his staff ready to attack.
"Stop!"
"Wait a minute teacher Alvin, since they want to cooperate, why don"t we tie them up first so they can"t try anything?"
Thankfully, just before Alvin could attack, Lilith"s voice successfully reached his ears bringing a bit of clarity to his eyes
Perhaps she could tell Alvin"s state at this moment was a bit abnormal, so she quickly tried to put a stop to him, luckily it worked
Hearing Lilith"s voice, Alvin knew that he was about to go too far, so realising this, he nodded to words Lilith giving her the go-ahead
Seeing this, Lilith on the side showed a worried simile obviously her guess was correct, Alvin"s state was not normal
Thinking of this, she decided to report this to Elric as soon as she got back to Hogwarts.
Meanwhile, while all this was going on, the Amazons, especially Diana, felt a feeling of unwillingness, anger, and other emotions as they could only watch helplessly as Alvin and Lilith decided their fates.
