15 Fight and kill. That is all.
[A/N: Reasons and everything will be explained later. Sebastian is a special case. Have fun!]
He felt cold and stiff. When Sebastian regained consciousness, he was lying face first on a hard, cold stone floor in pitch black darkness.
"urgh", Sebastian groaned.
He felt like there was no energy in his body, not even enough to turn around and lie on his back.
"Step"
"Step"
"Step"
The steps halted directly in front of his face and he heard something that sounded like someone rummaging inside of a bag and then a plop, like someone pulling the cork out of a small wine bottle. "Plop"
A moment later, he felt someone grabbing shin head, and setting the mouth of some kind of glass bottle on his lips. It felt and tasted like some kind of hot juice made of a mix of literally everything but not in a bad way, and just seconds later, after the person had put his head back on the ground, he felt his body regain control.
Sebastian felt around him self and surely, he found his staff lying close to him. Gripping it, he stood up and tried to look around, but it was too dark.
Suddenly, a light flashed for a millisecond and then a dim light, just enough to light the room but let the corners stay hidden illuminated the room. Sebastian found himself in a shady and dungeonlike room with moss on the brick walls and a few puddles of water randomly sprinkled around on the ground.
Around fifteen metres away from him, Sebastian saw Andreas standing up, holding his head. As Sebastian turned his head, he saw two more people standing at one wall, probably the kidnappers and the ones who had fed him the potion. One of them, standing slightly behind the other person, a man with brown hair and a short beard, with a scar running across his face, was Marc! The person that was supposed to make them go through a test. Was this the test? But why like this?
"You probably already realized that you will have to go through your test now. I am Simon, the judge. I decide on whether to send you back home or to send you to the 'special' school.", the man said in a deep and rough voice.
"Do not try to speak or to talk back, it wont end nice for you. Now to your test: Fight and kill. That is all.", the man said.
"Who do we have to fight?", Sebastian asked, upon which the man looked at him funnily, like he just asked the dumbest and funniest question in the world. Then, the man proceeded to snort and raise his hand, pointing at Andreas, then him. After that, he was silent.
"Listen Sebas-"
"Crucio!", the man said, and Andreas was lying on the ground, shouting, and crying.
After a second, the man stopped and repeated: "Fight and kill. That is all."
Sebastian and Andreas were dead silent. Nobody said a word but for Sebastian it felt like the world was shouting at him. Kill? He was supposed to kill Andreas who he considered a friend? Why did they even prepare both of them, if one was going to be butchered anyway?
Sebastian didn't move. He couldn't. What the hell was this shit? It was supposed to be a magical world full of wonder where he could literally bathe in magic and magical freedom, not this shit. He had only heard about fanfiction in his past like; had every single transmigrator or reincarnator to go through this?
As he was contemplating, Andreas raised his wand and aimed at Sebastian shakily: "Sagitta", Andreas said, and a arrow formed at the tip of Andreas' wand. After it was fully formed, it started to fly at Sebastian like the arrow shot from a bow.
Only startled by the noise, Sebastian threw himself to the side and looked at the arrow that barely missed him and Andreas in disbelief.
"Aguamenti", Andreas cast, as he stood up and conjured a large amount of water in front of himself on the ground. Andreas turned to Sebastian and just said, "Sorry", casting the needle creation spell right after.
Sebastian felt betrayed, but he didn't have any time to cry about it, as the instincts forged in the forest kicked him.
He stood up and looked around, there was nothing, no stones or tree branches he could use.
"Wingardiums leviosa", he heard from where Andreas stood and saw at least four needles flying up. Andreas let them fly around 1,8 metres above the ground and then let them fall.
"Depulso!", the needles came flying at Sebastian, who jumped to the side and then did a roll to the front.
"Needolo.", he heard again and knew he had to act.
"Stupefy!"
The spell flew towards Andreas, who dodged. The spell was too predictable when it could be seen!
AGAIN!
"Stupefy!"
The light was a bit dimmer, but Andreas was still able to throw himself to the ground when he saw the red light flying towards him.
Again! Sebastian calmed himself and thought about something he had learned in his free time.
The seeable light spectrum ranges from 400nm to 800 nanometres (2,6247e-6 feet for the Americans) with red light being to longest, just besides the infrared spectrum. So if he could put more energy into the spell and focus on pulling energy out of the single photons, he could increase their wavelength and make it invisible to human eye!
(Here the math/physics behind it: E (energy) = h (a constant) * f (frequency)
And f = c (speed of light) / λ (wavelength)
Therefore: E = h * c / λ If E goes down, λ goes up.)
Then, he was surprised how he could think of all that in such a short time and Sebastian remembered preparing for the hunt and he calmed down. This was just a hunt, too! Only this time it was a human he wanted to know out!
"Stupefy"
No light came and Andreas smirked as he rose a few needles in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a flash and small boom.
The spell had hit Andreas, but at the same time, it had shot a needle at him, which lodged into this stomach as he was knocked out cold and fell to the floor.
Shit, Sebastian thought and wanted to run to Andreas and help him. He didn't want to hurt him; he was still his friend.
"Stop!", the man interrupted him.
"What!? I won, don't you see? I won the fight!", Sebastian yelled, raging inside.
"Fight and kill."
"But-", Sebastian wanted to talk back.
"Fight and KILL", the man said sternly.
"Listen, lad, if you do not kill him, I will kill both of you. And before I kill you I am going to kill Andreas very, very carefully and slowly with every single skill I have mastered over the years. And I am telling you, he is going to beg me to kill him. After that I am going to kill you in the same way, go home and sleep like a baby, drained from all the fun I had."
"The only way out is for you to kill him! He would thank you for it.", the man said in a cold tone. "Did you know that you can eat some of your own organs before dying? If you want, I can even educate you a little and show you how you look from the inside."
"H- How?"
"How am I supposed to kill him? I don't have any spells to do it and doing it physically will just make him go trough the same.", Sebastian asked, his voice nearly breaking down.
"Whaaat? You don't know hoooww? You have every spell you need!", the man laughed mockingly.
Think, Sebastian, think. He knew he could not run away, as he knew he had no chance against the man or even Marc alone. That was also the reason he didn't try attacking them earlier.
What spells do it have? From the book the only one would be a sharp water jet with Aguamenti, but no, I didn't even master it. Reducto also would not kill. What else do I have?
The severing charm! If I use it as a blade, cutting through his neck or if it can cut through part of his brain he would surely die instantly!
But still…
Sebastian calmed himself down. He had no other real choice.
He aimed his staff, imagining a sharp blade, razing through flesh, made to kill while applying all his prior experiences with this charm.
"Diffindo", Sebastian spoke the word calmy. The word that would make him a different person.
