The rest of the class passes without incident, and as the bell rings for dismissal, you gather your things and make your way out of the room. The day ahead looks filled with more classes and interactions with both friendly and hostile students alike. As you walk down the hallway, you can't help but feel a growing sense of unease in the pit of your stomach; it seems that no matter what you do, trouble always finds its way to you here in hell...

You arrive at your next class just as the teacher begins lecturing on elemental magic. Bella, your demonic headmistress from yesterday, is sitting in the front row, watching you carefully. You take your seat near the back and try to focus on the lesson, but it's hard to ignore the feeling that everyone around you is whispering about you, discussing your recent confrontation with Lilith and wondering what will happen next.

Your barrier shimmers and changes as you alter its properties, now reflecting the students' spells back at them. The shock of having their own magic used against them causes some of the less experienced students to falter, their concentration broken by surprise and fear. The others grow angrier still, their attacks becoming more focused and precise as they struggle to find a way past your defenses.

Do you continue using your barrier in this manner, or try something else to turn the tide of battle?

One of the students, a demon girl named Sylvia, steps forward from Lilith's group with a wicked grin. She holds out one hand towards you while her other gestures wildly around herself as if gathering energy for an attack. Her eyes glow brightly blue before she unleashes an immense ball of ice directly at your weakened barrier. Do you maintain your focus and continue deflecting Sylvia's attack? Or do you attempt to counter it with a spell of your own?
