The School spent another hour and a half in the shelter until the coast was clear before heading back to class. But there wasn't much learning done for the rest of the day because the students wouldn't stop talking about the villain and the day's excitement. But I was even less focused than the rest of the students. I was too focused on my new powers. I could feel the power inside me and, I could tell that the magic was rearing to be used and, the second I let the power go it would start the process of creating my manna channels. I had been advised not to use any of my power at School because it could be dangerous for the other students and, it was against school rules to use external use powers at School. By the end of the day, I was almost going crazy with the feeling of the power inside me trying to get out, so when the bell for the end of the day rang, I nearly sprinted out of the building. As soon as I got off the School's property, I started the process.
As soon as I let the energy go, a notification popped into view.
{Notification-

Warning
creating your manna channels will be slightly uncomfortable and take ten hours to complete.
Time remaining 09h 59m 30s.}
I closed the Notification. A little timmer with the time remaining stayed in the corner of my vision. I groaned when the annoying itching started all over my skin. I just sighed and continued walking home.
About fifteen minutes away from my home, I passed an ally and, all a sudden, I felt an arm go around my neck and stick a needle in my shoulder. A sudden wave of panic washed over me when I felt my body go heavy and, my vision started to go black. I got turned around. I saw a face that would haunt me for the rest of my days. Koan was holding me while I slowly started to fall to the ground. She was grinning down at me and said.
[ Go to sleep now. I'm so glad I was able to find you again you will be an excellent servant once I fix you a bit. I have to get rid of that gross body of yours and fix your mind a bit.]
The panic rose in me more as I tried to stand and run, but my body wouldn't move, and I just kept getting sleepier and sleepier and, as my eyelids closed, my last thought was ' I wonder what she meant by. I have to get rid of that gross body and what horrible things she would do to me.
I awoke strapped to a steel bed and completely naked. There was some collar on that I could tell prevented me from using my magic. From what I could see of the room I was in, the walls were completely white, and other than the table I was strapped to, there was a door and some sort of large tank and a thing with lots of arms and tubes coming out of it.
I wondered what had woken me when I saw that I had a notification and figured it was probably that. I tried to bring up my Notification and, it seemed to struggle to come up for a minute but then popped up.

Well, I am in a terrible situation and, there is nothing I can do about it. I could at least I could tell that I had been out for at least ten hours since my manna channels had finished. I hoped that my family realized I was missing and hoped someone was looking for me. I decided to look over my status to pass the time since I couldn't move and nothing else happened.

Right as I was done looking through my spells, the arms above me started to move and, a voice came from a speaker somewhere in the room.
[ Hello sweetie, I'm happy to see that you are awake. Welcome to my lab. We are going to have so much fun together.]
I screamed out. [ Why the hell did you take me and, what are you going to do to me.]
A slight chuckle came through the speakers and, she began to speak again.[ Well, you see, sweetie, when you awakened your power, I could tell that you would become an extremely strong person and, I could also know that you had the potential to do some of the same stuff I do. So then and there I decided that you would be mine, but you see there is a slight problem. You are a man and, I simply despise men and refuse to be around them unless absolutely necessary.]
I cut in again.[ Then why did you kidnap me?]
Her maniacal chuckle came again.[ Well, you see, sweetie, I'm going to fix that and, then, I'm going to fix your mind.]
As the arms descended, injecting me with more of whatever sleeping drug she used, I whimpered and cried as Koan continued to laugh in the background as I sloped into the darkness.
I awoke multiple times again after that but, all I knew was pain. A hole body soul-wrenching pain that never ended.
I finally came out of the pain and could immediately tell that every part of me had been changed and, even my soul had changed. I could tell that I was back on the table. I could also tell that I had spent some time in the tank because the fluid in it was now clouded with blood that, for some reason, I could feel was mine.
With the little I could move my head, I tried to look at my body. I could tell that I at least looked like a female. My body was slimmer and, I seemed to be a bit shorter, but I was still muscular but not hideously so. I looked like I worked out a lot. My skin was pale white and, my hair was long and glossy black.
When I spoke, I sounded kind of like my mother.[ what the hell happened to me?]
I knew some time had passed but, I couldn't tell how much. To me, it had felt like I had been in that sea of pain for eternity, but it seems that it has only been two to three days.
