Willem felt the chaos and overflowing negative energy in the blocked off corridor as soon as had entered the Magic Academy again. His finely tuned magical sensitivity guided him to the scene, through the connecting shadows.

Willem watched from the shadow as the bodies of four boys were removed from the corridor and it was wiped clean of the blood and gore that permeated the area. No matter how much the cleaning servants scrubbed the walls, they still had a slight smell of blood.

Willem removed himself from the shadow and approached Sveld to ask what had happened. Sveld quietly whispered about the incident, and explained that after probing their minds he had found no evidence of foul play. Therefore the only reasonable explanation was an influx of magic corrupting the oldest boys mind.

Of course Willem instantly recognized the deceased as the boys whom had previously been marked with the string. After a brief conversation, Willem consoled Sveld and left the scene. He then opened the connection to monitor Anna while she continued her revenge.

After Anna Was Finished Class.

Anna had finally attended class after quite a long period of absence. Now that the class had ended, the second stage of her revenge was about to begin. She quietly stalked one of the girls in her class, whom she could quite clearly see connected by the string. This obviously meant she was a part of the female students who mercilessly beat her.

The young woman Anna stalked met up with the others involved in her torture and they all headed towards the intermediate study room. It was the third day and they went there with the intent to abuse Anna. They had heard the rumor of an Advanced Mage flipping out and attacking his friends, but they did not know who it was or where it took place. Besides, the more commotion someone else made, the less likely they would be to get caught.

Anna waited until the advanced earth mage that originally took her virginity entered the room, gave it a few moments, and then entered herself with her robe covering her head. Anna stepped inside the study room, and locked the door behind herself.

"Good girl, she even learned to lock the door by herself. Looks like you really are learning something in this Academy." The advanced earth mage snickered to himself.

"Yes, I have. Connections are everything." Anna twisted her right arm one hundred and eighty degrees, and the bones in her arm forcefully broke from the immense pressure. Without showing any concern for her broken arm, she then forcefully bent the elbow until the cracked bones sliced open her skin and protruded from her body as if she had been in some horrible accident.

"What the f-..." The advanced mage did not have enough time to finish what he was saying, as the broken bones shot out of Anna's arm, pinning him to the wall with tremendous force.

"Tell me, girls, do you remember the tales of the women who made a pact with the goddess of death?" Anna's arm twisted back into its proper form, and the punctured skin healed as if there was no injury in the first place. One of the abilities she had learned from her Master, Darkness Healing, was working overtime to replace the torn flesh and bone she had just used. Within a few seconds, not even a scar remained. After five seconds, the bone in her arm had returned and connected itself once more to the other bones.

"I remember the first time I heard it. In fact, I think about it often. It helps to remind me of how truly broken this world really is. If there was no rape or torture or war or death in this world, then the goddess of death would not have so many customers." Anna smiled and the girls could not help but stumble backwards.

The only woman that did not falter was the advanced mage who led the group of girls. The woman was a potioneering major, and had recently broken through the gap from intermediate to advanced.

"Farah Majol incantus..." The woman began to chant an advanced level wind magic toward Anna before she inexplicably found herself unable to speak.

Anna rubbed her middle finger and thumb together, in a downward slicing motion. The woman's vocal chords were cut in one swift attack that not even the advanced mage could have defended against.

What the woman did not know is that Anna had preemptively placed a small thread of darkness in the girls mouth when she had followed them for just such an occasion.

The more seasoned advanced earth mage recovered from his initial shock and began to chant. "Solum majore incantus..." A wave of earth rose from out of thin air and spiraled toward Anna's stomach.

Before the spiral lance hit Anna, she pulled the woman toward her with the dark tendrils and used her as a shield for the attack. The spiral lance hit the woman square in the stomach, piercing her and lodging itself deep inside her body.

The advanced wind mage coughed up a mouthful of black blood and fell over, defeated. However, this was only the beginning of her torture, so Anna made sure she did not bleed out.

The advanced earth mage had calmed down considerably, and had begun to cast his second spell almost immediately. "Consul verita incantus..." Pieces of dirt and rock covered his body like a moving golem.

Anna raised her arm, and whispered her command. "Darkspear." Suddenly, fifty spears of pitch black came from every piece of darkness in the room. They all hovered in air, pointed toward the golem.

"Do you think your petty tricks are strong enough to beat my earth golem? Earth golem is the strongest defensive spell we earth mages have-" before he could finished speaking, he was skewered by fifty spears as dark as the night sky.

No blood seeped from his wounds, instead it was all being absorbed by the spears. The earth golem crumbled after a few moments while Anna looked over at the three other girls whom were frozen in fear.

"Now, what shall I do to you. You had your fun beating me, shall I have my fun doing the same to you?" Anna began to prepare darkspear once more, when Willem arrived from the darkness of one of the spears.

"Your actions have been noticed. You have a few minutes to finish this event." Willem watched as the girls in the room cried out for saving.

"Yes, Master." With just two words, the hopes of the girls had been destroyed.

"Might I suggest something for these three?" Willem pointed toward the three girls. A cold sweat ran down their backs as they huddled together crying.

"Of course, though they are not worth of being concubines in my personal opinion." Anna said out loud to give them a hint of how she wanted them to act.

The three girls hurriedly removed their clothes with the intent of convincing their new Master. Before the last one could finish undressing, Willem casually walked over to one of them and punched his hand through her chest.

The girl screamed, but no one came to her rescue. There was no hole in her chest, but instead there was a fist sized black hole reaching into her body. Willem had a grin on his face as he absorbed the hazy magical force from inside the girl.

Once he had completely absorbed every bit of magical energy inside her, he removed his hand and the hole closed. The girl slumped over, and immediately went unconscious. She was in a critical condition, but even Anna could tell that she was not dead.

He then sent both his fists through the other two, absorbing their magical energy within roughly a few seconds of each other. Both their bodies fell over unconscious and Anna piled them together with their clothes.

"Guards will be here soon, let us finish this in the Private Sanctum. Kinsey will be busy all day so we will not be intruded upon." Willem took the bodies with Anna and slipped into the darkness of the room.

Inside The Private Sanctum

The torturing of the one male student and four female students had begun. Flesh would be torn off forcibly with a whip, and blood would drip into a nice wooden bowl to be fed to the White Tiger Cub. On the brink of death, Willem would expertly produce a intermediate healing potion to cure the inflicted wounds.

The three female students whom no longer had magical energy were the weakest ones, and were kind of thankful that they were now normal humans. Their bodies were no longer as robust as before, and Anna made sure to go a little easier on them so they did not break, compared to the two toys that still had magical energy flowing in their veins.

Willem understood why it was necessary to get revenge but saw very little point in torturing them. In his own eyes, he had already taken from the three girls their entire world. Their magical abilities were now his, even though their aptitude was low. Since Anna and himself were of one mind, he decided it was time she knew the truth. A truth he did not even tell Grand Mage Archus.

"Anna, what do you think is our purpose here in this world?" Willem closed off his mind.

"I am not sure Master, please enlighten me." Sensing the lost connection, Anna turned to her Master.

"I would not be so bold as to say I know the answer. I have been given a rather strange gift. Only you and I know of it. You are the first to see me use it. Shall we see how far we can reach together?" Willem approached the female wind mage.

"Yes, Master..." Anna placed the whip on the table and placed a healing salve on the wounds of the advanced wind mage.

The pained expression on the girls face was replaced with a warm smile. In a barely awakened state, the warmth washing over her from the healing salve was like a guiding light leading her away from the torturous darkness. Before she had time to understand what was going on, and her eyes were just beginning to open once more, she saw on her chest a black hole the size of a fist. She barely had time to scream before passing out from the excruciating pain of having the magical energy ripped from her body.

Willem threw the girls body off the meat hook she had been placed on and tossed her aside like a rag doll. He re-opened the connection to Anna in his mind and gave her orders to make sure the girl lived.

With the new magical energy he absorbed, his own magical energy surged and swirled even more unusually, pulsing in synchronization with his own rapid heartbeat.

Willem made his way over to the advanced earth mage. Slowly and deliberately, he opened a black hole much larger than the previous attacks. This caused immense pain to well up from the earth mage who had previously passed out from the pain of torture.

"Please, I... I will do a-anything..." The ragged breathing of the advanced earth mage could barely be heard.

Willem plunged his fist into the earth mages chest and began absorbing the magical energy in the body without delay. Not even a single droplet remained once Willem was through with him. After closing the black hole, Willem threw the now human males body off the meat hook and onto the floor.

Anna began rubbing the healing salve on the male's body, but Willem made her stop for a moment.

"His torture is not done yet. There is something we must do to this man." Willem withdrew a mithril dagger.

Telepathically Willem explained what he wanted Anna to do. She bowed to Willem and took the mithril dagger from his hands.

Anna began to slowly and surgically cut off the man's genitalia.
