The Devil WithInn 161 She Ran Away! 2

Within a few minutes, she was able to completely break the curse while she ran. So, Inna was able to steadily sprint, making her faster and more agile.

She ran for a good solid fifteen minutes before she stopped to catch her breath. From the looks of it, it seems like she's at the forest on the other side of the campus behind the magic department's buildings.

She peeked behind her to confirm whether Raghnall gave chase. And she sighed in relief when she saw no one in sight.

Leaning on the tree behind her, she tried to reach in her pouch to look at the school's map.

But just as she was straightening the map, she can hear violent rustling a distance away, along with a melodious laugh.

"I can do this all day, little Ninny!"

Oh f.u.c.k!

How did he find me?!

Inna shoved the map back into her pouch, not having the time to spare to actually read nor plan where she's going next. With a deep breath, she sprinted away from her spot and she continued to run blindly in a straight line.

Raghnall saw her form by the distance and decided to pick up his pace. Although his lungs felt like dying, he knew that resting for a second would widen the gap between him and her again.

So, with a grunt, he picked up his pace as he stared intensely at his target.

Like a predator to its prey, he eyed her without ever taking his eyes off her.

Inna squealed in fright when she sensed that Raghnall was closing in on her.

s.h.i.+ts.h.i.+ts.h.i.+ts.h.i.+ts.h.i.+t!

She tried picking up her pace but when she saw a huge wall by about half a mile away, she abruptly stopped in shock.

Oh mother of f.u.c.k! A dead-end?!

She looked from side to side, contemplating whether she should go left or right.

But on the second that she made the decision, she heard a voice behind her that made her freeze in fright.

"I have to admit. I didn't expect you to trick me."

Raghnall's cheerful voice echoed as he appeared behind Inna.

Inna clicked her tongue as she cursed under her breath.

f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, she forgot he knew teleportation spells.

Scared to see his reaction, she refused to turn around to look at Raghnall.

"Well, that's what you get when you're mean."

Inna grumbled and as soon as she got the last word out of her mouth, she got into her running stance and she began to run.

This time, she tried to throw Raghnall off by making sharp turns.

Hah, surely he can't teleport now since he's not sure where she's going.

Heck, she's not even sure where she's going to end up. But as long as she can get away from that dictator, she's good.

Meanwhile, seeing Inna run without any hitch on her speed, he couldn't help but laugh slightly.

"Ahhhh, the talent in this girl."

She didn't even notice that he was silently casting an immobilization curse on her after he spoke. And when it completed after she spoke, she was able to break it in a second without even noticing.

"Heavens, I don't think she even knows what she did. To break a spell that fast with willpower alone. She's one in a million, indeed."

But that 'one in a million' girl still needs to be taught a lesson.

After all, no one tricks him like that and ends up getting away with it.

So, with a smile and a small huff, he once again tried to sense her magical particles.

And after mapping out her direction, he couldn't help but snort.

This girl was actually trying to throw him off by running in zigzags!

He sighed in disappointment.

She really needs to learn a whole lot more.

Unless he's stupid, there's no way she can throw him off if he's following the magic particles she's unknowingly emitting.

Seeing that the distance is becoming wider, he tried chanting another teleportation spell to the farthest area where he can sense her trace to at least try and reduce their distance.

His ability to sense the magic particles was limited to a certain radius so he can only teleport as far as his senses can go. And teleporting takes a lot of energy from him as well since he has to expend more energy to counteract the backlash of multiple trigger spells that hinders him from casting it in the first place.

Good thing he's as talented as the teachers in the Academy in this regard.

But, since this was his second teleportation spell, if he would still continue to run around and waste energy, he can only cast one more teleportation spell before he gets completely drained.

Better save it and use it wisely.

When he teleported successfully, he looked around and noticed that they were just simply circling around the forest. And with a disappointed sigh, he knew immediately that Inna was running blindly.

And he couldn't help but agree at the fact that her sense of direction was indeed worrisome.

To think that she can't even go out of the forest, how will she survive if someone dangerous did chase her?

So, with that thought, he closed his eyes as he tried to locate her again, fearing that she must be feeling frightened after getting lost while running away.

But when he noticed where she was and what she was doing, his eyes held a certain panic as they shot open and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

On the other hand, Inna cursed as well as she punched the wall in frustration.

f.u.c.k!

She screamed in her mind as she punched. But the wall didn't budge even a little bit.

She ran so hard but she still ended up in another dead end!

She tried to read the map she had in her pouch but she had no idea where exactly she was in the forest!

All she currently saw were just trees and trees and more trees!

And a huge wall!

She wanted to turn back and start running again, hoping that she'll go back to the same familiar building of the magic department. But she knew that Raghnall was hot on her tracks so if she were to turn around, they'd end up meeting one way or another.

She punched the wall again, venting out her frustration.

What the f.u.c.k is she going to do next?!

She can't jump over it since it's about five meters tall. Her jump, although impressive because of her physical abilities, can only reach two meters at maximum.

She knew that because she tried doing it in her room one day and she ended up busting the roof when she shot out of it.

Good thing there's magic!

So the damage done to her room, instead of taking a few days or a week to finish, it was fixed in just a minute.

And the huge b.u.mp she had on her head was healed by Raghnall in just a minute as well.

Speaking of Raghnall, Inna started to panic when she realized that Raghnall would soon arrive to get her.

s.h.i.+ts.h.i.+ts.h.i.+ts.h.i.+ts.h.i.+t, she stopped for almost a minute already.

He'll be here soon!

So, in her terrified state, she hastily punched the wall to try and break it, hoping that if it did break, she can just continue running away and think of a plan later.

She prayed and prayed for it to break as she dealt one blow after another.

Then suddenly, just when she felt that her energy was drastically low, the wall spoke to her.

"Hey! Can you stop that? I'm trying to take a nap!"

Inna stopped her swing mid-way as she stood with her jaw on the floor and her eyes as wide as her fists.

"D-did the wall just talk?"
