Chapter 31

Breakfast the next morning was an exciting place to be. Everyone was talking about yesterday’s challenge. Much of the nervousness and apprehension from before the competition had started had eased a little. People hit that point where they realized there was nothing else they could do to prepare. They could only do their best and try to have a good time. Lucy’s team received many smiles and waves of congratulations. Some teams that hadn’t faced them voiced their eagerness to take them on in another challenge. All serious injuries had been healed last night, but many people sill had bruises. Everyone was happily eating. About the time that people were done, Eric stood up.

“Good morning. Did everyone get something to eat? Wonderful. You have all been poisoned.”

People looked around wide-eyed, wondering if it was a joke. Maya, however, smiled.

“The poison will kill you in about 3 hours so you have 2 hours to work out an antidote. That way we have time to see if yours will work with time to spare. Also that will account for anomalies such as the fact that you are all different sizes and it might work faster on those of you who are smaller. Anyone who is not on a team and wishes to take the antidote now, please meet Nicodemus in the room across from us. The rest of you probably want to get started.”

Lucy could have laughed at the expressions on everyone’s faces. Some students looked shocked that the school had administered poison to their breakfasts. Some students looked sick. Some students, like Maya, who enjoyed potions and considered potion making an art looked excited at the challenge. After another moment of inactivity, one student threw up which urged everyone into motion. Some students rushed for the lab, some students rushed to the room across the hall, and some students rushed to the nearest bathroom to clean off the vomit or vomit themselves.

“Maya, to the lab, get everything set up. I’ll send Gavin with what you will need shortly. The rest of you, the study room now,” said Justin, taking charge and everyone moved.

Once they got to the study room and locked the door, Justin pulled out a vial and addressed the other two.

“Gavin, Lucy and I are going to study you, find the poison, remove it, and place it in this vial. Then, you will get this to Maya as fast as you can to start brewing the antidote. Lucy and I will locate other vials and get the poison out of each other and meet you in the potions room.”

Gavin and Lucy both nodded.

Justin looked at Lucy, nodded, and they both turned their attention to Gavin. Lucy reached out with her senses and studied the feel of everything flowing through his system. Having ironically enough practiced this same thing a few days ago, Lucy was familiar with the way Gavin’s body was supposed to feel. It did not take her long to find the poison. However, it felt odd to her.
