And just as she feared, the wall spoke again.
"I don't know if you're an idiot, or you're just an optimist but the walls of the academy are casted with self-regenerating barriers. So no matter how many punches you land, unless you hit it with one huge and powerful blast, it's not going to do a thing."
Inna's eyes glittered when she heard it talk again.
Wow, this is so cool! A wall is actually talking!
This reminded her of her Dora the Explorer days!
"How do you even talk without a mouth, Mr. Wall? Can you get me out of here? Do you need me to answer a riddle?"
She listened intently for a reply but she failed to hear the voice whisper.
"An idiot it is, then."
Inna furrowed her brows when she didn't hear any reply.
"Mr. Wall?"
"Up here."
The deep and brash voice spoke again. Inna instinctively followed the command as she looked up, but the glare of the sun prevented her from seeing properly. In confusion, she couldn't help but ask again.
"Mr. W-"
"The wall is not talking, little idiot. I am. Up here."
The voice spat harshly but there was hidden amus.e.m.e.nt in its tone.
"Oh."
Inna muttered lamely as she reddened from the realization of her stupidity.
Good Lord, just because there's magic, doesn't mean inanimate objects will start talking like a Disney movie!
Oh my G.o.d, this is what happens when she doesn't get to have proper sleep for a week!
While trying to reduce her redness by covering her cheeks, Inna instinctively took a few steps back as she tried to see the top of the wall without having the sudden glare of the sun burn her eyes off. But after moving, she sensed something that made her look at the direction behind her instead.
Raghnall's magical particles!
f.u.c.k, he's near!
Inna abandoned the thought of trying to get a good look at the owner of the voice as she ran back to the walls.
"Hey, I-I know it's really sudden but l-like, can you help me go over this thing?"
She tried to hold back the panic in her voice but it still leaked out when she stuttered. Anxious for a reply, she started tapping her foot on the ground as she tried to sense where Raghnall was.
Then, suddenly, she felt something land on her head. Curious, she grabbed it and she was surprised to see a black rope.
"Use it to climb up. Don't worry, I'm holding the other end."
After hearing the voice, Inna spared no heartbeat as she grabbed onto it and climbed as fast as she could.
When she reached the top, she figured that she'll finally be able to see the owner of the voice so with a curious mind, she boldly stared at the man who helped her up.
And well, her jaw almost dropped at the sight of the man before her.
If she were to describe him in two words, it would be... astonis.h.i.+ngly beautiful.
In fact, he looked like every girl's wet dream.
If Raghnall was an American model plus Korean idol hybrid, this guy was an Arabian model with a dash of Brazilian hotness!
While he peered at her, Inna, on the other hand, couldn't help but stare back with awe at the mysterious gray eyes that locked with hers. His misty gray eyes held an impression of laziness into them as they drooped slightly but she didn't miss that glint of wickedness and mischief hidden in his eyes. And the small smirk formed by his pinkish lips brought out more of his devilish aura.
And despite knowing that she really shouldn't be staring for so long, Inna couldn't help but admire his chiseled oval-shaped face that had a perfectly defined jawline as well as the cute mole he had right below his left droopy eye.
The rest of his facial features looked entirely well-crafted by the G.o.ds, not a single proportion of each feature in any way flawed. And even his tan skin absolutely completed and complemented his whole look.
So Inna couldn't help but gulp from the sudden pressure she felt.
d.a.m.n, what's with all the hot people attending this Academy?
Just what do they drink in this world to produce these kinds of looks?
Inna sighed internally as she remembered her old appearance.
Ugh, she missed her beautiful body too!
If she was in her own body, she wouldn't be as self-conscious standing in front of him as she was now.
"So, are you going to stand here all day shamelessly staring at my gorgeous face? I mean, not that I blame you but It's really quite amazing how bold you are to do so."
Aaaaaand, her admiration went 'poof' in an instant.
Motherdang it, it's like meeting Raghnall all over again.
Inna grumbled in her mind and she sighed in dismay.
"I guess whatever they've been drinking, that kind of personality comes along with it, huh? Maybe it's a packaged deal or probably a side effect or something."
She muttered under her breath.
"Hey? Little idiot? You listening? Are you actually planning to go down? The sun's going to be scalding in a few more moments so if you want to get burnt, go ahead but I'm leaving and I'm taking that rope with me."
The tug on the ropes on her hand was enough to snap her back to reality.
"Huh? Ah! I'm going down! I'm going down!"
Inna screamed as she clenched tightly on the rope.
Just as she was about to slowly climb down, she heard a scream.
"Ninny!"
Inna looked behind to see Raghnall by the gaps of the trees from a far distance. Since she's on top of the five-meter wall, she could easily see from far distances and now, she can see Raghnall's incredulous expression clearly as well.
"Oh s.h.i.+t. He looks p.i.s.sed."
Inna couldn't help but mutter out loud as her hands trembled.
Oh G.o.d, oh G.o.d, she needs to get down to the other side immediately!
With that thought, she ignored the curious look of the man beside her as she hurriedly tried to climb down the wall using the rope.
But about halfway through her journey, she felt something move the rope she held before she found herself falling rapidly.
