There was a very good reason dark magic was often banned from instruction or teaching, for darker emotions are often warping to the mind when not properly controlled. And a filly, even a magical prodigy, lacks that control.

The teachers' confusion turned to shock when Starlight’s anger turned to wrath. She remembered screaming out, firing a wide burst of dark magic flames from her horn that engulfed the roof. The ground shook, the beam of flame condensing into a thin, neon green beam that burned and sliced through the roof and walls of the magic school’s tower. Fragmented visions recalled the audience’s reactions.

Moonbeam was aghast, frozen in place before trying to rush forward and grab her sister.

Fancy Pants, moving out of the shocked stupor a little quicker, surged forth to grab Moonbeam and bring her to safety while Stalwart Sentry barked for him to do the same for Flash Sentry despite the colt’s protests to help.

The teachers’ all reacted differently. One tried to hurry out the door and sound the alarm, another attempted to call out to Starlight Glimmer but the enraged filly didn’t hear any of his calls to calm; the female teacher just sat there with her agape mouth covered in shock.

Starlight Glimmer shrieked, seizing her in a magical aura, a warped mind clearly not thinking straight.

The teacher had expressed justified skepticism for Starlight’s pre-exam. Starlight saw her doubting her.

The teacher had tried to offer up the filly to try again later in light of her cutiemark. Starlight only saw the same pity she despised being forced upon her again over what she didn’t have, hardly a new feeling.

The teacher was just trying to be reasonable and do her job. Starlight saw her as just getting in the way. And the first passage of the book was clear, obstacles are to be removed.

Starlight had focused on the old mare’s cutiemark, recalling the magic sealing spell meant to lock up a unicorn’s horn magic with aerenths and refocusing it to the flank. If this teacher was going to give her grief about not having an infernal cutiemark, then she wouldn’t have one either!

Starlight’s eyes flashed with smoke and a surge shot up through the magic stream, causing the teacher to call out in pain as her cutiemark started to budge and shift like it was a sticker being peeled off. That was when a lance bathed in the ichors of a dragon and changeling queen alike shot up between the beam and sliced it in two like a knife through paper.

Captain Stalwart Sentry roared, flying up between the teachers and the same filly he rescued a decade prior, “THAT’S ENOUGH!”
