Bak noted how the girl glanced at her tiger right after the fight. The girl ended the fight quickly just like the boy before had. It looked like they would be matched up next. Then Bak's attention was drawn to a certain fight. There was a smaller girl fiercely beating on a larger boy. The boy was bleeding heavily and was close to being unconscious. The girl continued to punch and kick rapidly at the cowering boy. In two strides, Bak was there. She yanked the girl off her feet and held her in the air. The girl struggled briefly until Bak gave her a hard shake. The girl stopped when she realised who was holding her. Bak stared into the girl's blood-crazed eyes. This one liked to cause pain, Bak decided. The cruelty was evident in her eyes. The girl started to shiver.
"Othras." Bak called.
The ice dolphin came floating over and one student yelped in pain as a deflected fist accidentally came in contact with the ice.
"Get that hand warm, now!" Bak ordered without looking at the boy.
Othras reached the bloody boy and examined his wounds.
"Get the medic." Othras said quickly.
"You! Get the medic now!" Bak ordered the black haired boy who had been the first to defeat his opponent.
He would be fast enough, Bak knew. As the boy left the room, Bak turned her attention to the girl she held. The girl's blue eyes were still shining with blood lust though her whole body was shivering with the cold that emanated from Bak's touch. Bak deliberately dropped the girl, who yelped as she fell that few feet to the ground. Bak stared at the shaking girl emotionlessly.
"Go sit in your seat now." Bak ordered. "And do not move until I tell you to."
The girl's eyes flashed but she obeyed.
"Hey! My hand's numb!" the boy who had touched the ice cried out.
"Frostbite." Bak informed shortly. "Wait for the nurse and keep it warm."
She glanced at the rest of the class.
"Continue your sparring." she said. "And for future reference, avoid touching the ice. It is far colder than Earth ice."
They hastened to obey. Bak waited patiently for the medic to arrive. The boy with the frostbitten hand came over to wait for the medic with the bloody boy, who was too much in pain to even moan. |
