"It's been a while, hasn't it, seniors?" Lake walked up to the third years.
"Lake?" Gwen was the first to notice him. Hana and Landur rolled over each other just to catch a glimpse of him.
"Junior, is that you? Perfect! Help us out of this!" Landur was the first to shout as he struggled against Hana, causing the web binding them to stick even closer together.
"Stop moving around like that!"
Seeing the mess the two had gotten themselves into, Lake couldn't help but sigh as he waved his hand, creating a small flame that burned away the web.
"Free at last!" Landur jumped up as he breathed in the sweet air of freedom, if only for a moment.
Whoosh!
Before he could figure out what was happening, Landur found himself flipped over on the ground, staring blankly at the sky. The next thing he saw was the bottom of a boot quickly covering his entire vision.
"Urgh! Wait—Hana! Stop, please! Mercy!"
I’m back (kinda)!
Life’s been tough lately. I was sick for two weeks, and after recovering, I hit the worst writer’s block—couldn't put words to paper. It took me almost a week just to write this chapter.
I’m trying to break out of this slump and will upload whenever I can, but I wanted to keep everyone updated on the situation. If push comes to shove, I might switch to a weekly upload schedule, but we’ll see how things go.
