Our professor walked towards our direction. “Do you know this boy? His name is Moon. Do you have a student named Moon?”
Our professor looked at me and started inspecting me from head to toe. He even pursed his lips while staring at every inch of my face and body. I started sweating. I don’t like what’s happening right now. I gripped the railings of my shoulder bag which is hanging on my right side. “I don’t know him.” I heard our professor mutter. “He is probably one of those boys who does not attend my classes and skipped school. He must have heard of the decree and decided that he wants to enter the academy. This is actually great. Almost all my students wanted to join but sadly, it is only the male population who can enter the competition.” He continued. I breathed out the air I was holding. I immediately look at his face and I am too surprised that he doesn’t recognize me. I didn’t expe
Chapter 7: Raven Faustus. “Wahh~ it’s so beautiful. I felt like I was in a dreamland.” I was astonished by the mystical serenity as we walked on the long bridge on our way to the heavenly palace. The entrance of the heavenly realm somehow resembles those magical places which can be found in a fairytale book. The concrete bridge is floating above a group of clouds which has the color of the galaxy. It looks like it transported you in the milky way rather than the realm of heaven. Shooting stars and sparkling bubbles are also found in the area and it made the place too splendid. Upon reaching the gate towards the palace, the entire area also look grandeur. Several posts can be seen at the massive gate which holds the red colored flag of the palace. Intricate carvings are placed on the wall and it is outlined with gold which made it look more sophisticated. A long aisle which is surround
I’m really pissed off. I never met someone like him before. He’s a crazy hybrid. I tried to get away from him but he kept on following me. He is still laughing at my naivety and innocence which makes me truly annoyed. After a few minutes, we finally arrived at the heavenly realm together with the other participants. The palace’s interior looks too surreal. The floor is made of wood and it is painted with an image that matches the magnificence of the place. Poles are also located inside that have ceramic designs and a touch of gold before it touches the floor. The swirls are too dainty and it looks bewitching. A golden statue is placed on the front which exactly matches several of the furniture’s put inside. The ceiling has stupendous chandeliers that also fits the ambiance of the palace. “Greetings to you, our heavenly king,” the
He looked at the eunuch's back until it disappeared. He looked at the list first and then handed it over to someone. I think that person is a trusted senior of the professor. The professor left us to him and went back to what he was doing before we arrived. “Form a straight line of four since the number is too many. There are 30 participants all in all. I will call each of your names and reply to me with the word present, understand? ?” he told us as we formed a straight line like what he just ordered. “Yes!” we all answered in chorus. I glanced at my surroundings and pouted. My savior is also not here. “Shifan Lu,” he started calling our names and everyone alerted theirselves. “Present!” the guy who
I paused from doing my push ups and tilted my head up. I met with his eyes and saw that he was squatting in front of me to match with my height. “No. I won’t fall for your tricks again. Go away!” I said to him while I snicker. He is annoying. He just won’t stop bothering me. “Geez. I’m serious this time. I really want you to be my friend. C'mon, I even asked Senior Zhou for you to be my roommate because I know those guys are different from me,” he replied. He is almost pleading. “Why?” I asked almost immediately. “I don’t know. Maybe some gut feeling.” I stared at him for a minute before I opened my mouth to speak. “Alright. But don’t tric
I was in the middle of unpacking my things when Raven spoke up. “Softie, let’s go to the cafeteria after you’re done unpacking. I’m hungry,” Raven told me. Instead of fixing his stack of clothes, he just lay down on his bed. I shook my head because of this guy. So, this is the feeling of having a male friend? Are they that lazy? Hmp. It’s fine. Since he is my first friend, I will treat him nicely. “Alright!” I smiled. I quickly put my things in the wooden cabinet. After I’m done fixing my own things, I took his bag and started unpacking his things too. He seems not mad about it so I continued and put all his belongings in the drawer. “Eh, nice one softie. You should really treat me well. I’m the only whom you can count on here in Blemore Academy,” he arrogantly said while still lying down on the bed. Both his hands are
After we finished eating, we headed back to our room and shared some stories about our past adventures. We didn’t notice that it is already evening and that the moon is high up in the sky. We don't have any plans on stopping but the drill echoed throughout the area. It is telling us that every student must go to the Hall to gather. As we walked out of the room, I saw other students who just walked out from their slumber. Some even don’t have their clothes on and are topless. I just shrugged my shoulders and saw Raven yawning while walking on his way to the said area. He is probably tired because he roamed around the academy all day while exchanging stories. I can’t deny that he is fun to be with. He is also playful and is throwing several jokes which make me laugh. He also has his serious side too like I am! He will probably make a good friend. I guess we are compatible to become each other
The students wearing a blue hanfu picked their paper first. The next to pick are those who are wearing gray which I think came from the Ice Tribe. Next is the mountain tribe and it continues up until everyone has picked their own. “Mother, don’t be scared! You will pass the test!” I heard Snow White whispered in my ear. I somehow felt relieved because I haven’t heard her ever since I entered the heavenly realm. I am glad that she is here with me and that someone believes in my ability. “It’s fine. I will pick an easy one. We can exchange tasks if you got something more difficult,” Raven said before he walked in front to pick. He was confident when he picked out the paper but when he opened it, his eyes widened and seemed too stunned at what he was seeing. “What’s
Chapter 8: Larisa. “Mother, where are we going?” I heard Snow White ask while we were walking somewhere as we searched for someone named Larisa. She is probably curious because I just kept on walking. I’ve been like this for several minutes already. I don’t have any idea as to where to find her. I tried asking for Raven’s help but he suddenly disappeared. That demon boy is surely a pain in the neck! He said I can lean on him but he is nowhere to be found! I don’t have someone to ask who Larisa is. The seniors won’t even tell me who she is or what does she looks like. They might only give me a punishment like what they did earlier. I pouted at what’s happening. How am I supposed to search for someone I don’t even know? I put my attention back on Snow White and too
Chapter 14: Emperor of Heaven, Alois. “Students of Blemore Academy, today is your final test to show your skills in controlling your sword and flying, and to those who will fail will be immediately removed from the academy. Let’s start!” Professor Duke declared and began calling my classmates' names. I’m smiling widely while watching each of my classmates who are performing to show their skills and I can’t wait to call my name because I’m so excited to show them that I can now control my sword and fly. I giggled inside my thought. Raven nudged at me on my left shoulder, since he was standing behind me to get my attention, so my attention was distracted watching my classmates performing and glanced at him. “What’s wrong?” My eyebrows rose. “Can you not smile that much, idiot? It’s creeping me out,” he was annoyed which made me pouted. “Pshh~” I just focused on watching my classmates performing and I can’t help but to be amazed while my mouth agape and sometimes, I can’t help myself
“Yes. So, you better shut up and don’t tell anyone this, or I will cut ties with you. You better keep this as a secret.”“I promise! I won’t tell it to anyone hehe don’t worry, I also sneak out to look for my savior.” I giggled.“Savior? Therefore, the reason why you disguised yourself as a man is just because of him? Had you found him?”“Yes. In our tribe, we should repay the kindness of those who help us. I’m here to repay my gratitude to him. However…” I pouted when I remembered what had just happened earlier. He was in front of me yet I can’t reveal who I am or else I will be doomed.The reason why I can't do anything despite him is the reason why I am in the heavenly realm. And also! I would also like to meet the Emperor of Heaven, Alois. Hayy…“So, you already found him, then?”I nodded sadly, pouting as I rested my chin on the back of my palm watching the beautiful woman playing the zither. How can she be so beautiful? Hayyy…Hence, I immediately looked at him when I remembered
Chapter 13: Raven's Secret Crush. As soon as we landed in the hall, my savior threw me to the ground, causing me to almost fall on the cold floor. “How can a boy be so fragile like a girl?" His voice is monotonous while his face looks as hard as a stone. Standing with one hand on his back and the other one on his stomach, he wore a black robe full of authority. The sad expression on my face made me lower my head to hide the expression from him. My bottom lip bit hard as I puffed. "Answer me," he replied, glaring at me. I still felt a burning sensation on my face whenever I look at him about what I did to him when he was taking a bath, and one more thing — I can't even face him even though I came all the way here just to find and repay him. At that moment, he is standing in front of me, yet I do not dare to look him in the eye and find the words to reply to him - because I am both shy *cuts out* and nervous at the same time. Since he was my savior, I actually had nothing to say to
Chapter 12: hot buns.I carried my wooden bowl with all my belongings as a brush for my teeth and a soap bath and a wooden pitcher and a white towel for my face, and body. On the way to the frozen lake since I don’t have to take a bath. Because of the sudden hot buns that I saw a while ago I started to feel something inside my body and a different heat that I don’t usually feel. Weird.For this reason Frozen Lake is somewhat cold water and somehow my feeling might lessen. Ever since I went here in the heavenly realm I haven’t taken a bath. How can I take a bath with all the boys around me and Raven is keeping on pestering me. Although he’s a big help no one dares to bully me maybe because Raven can’t be underestimated. He may look like a scoundrel hybrid but really he’s warm and good in
I breathed a sigh and started standing up, I shouldn’t waste any of my time. The wind up here is really cold and it feels soothing in my skin. I lurched forward and after some seconds, I landed on the ground. I finally made it inside. I started sneaking inside the palace, and much to my amusement, none of the guards were stationed inside. Seems like the security here is not that strict. Perhaps the owner of this place is strong enough. I started roaming around and while I am taking a stroll inside, I can’t help but be amazed by the interior of the palace. My mouth falls open and my eyes seem sparkling. This is as grand as the other palace. I wandered inside and noticed that the entirety of it was tidy. The servants seem to be dedicated to their job. The area is full of different flowers. Their beauty is even more astonishing under the moonlight. I don’t have any idea on how many residents a
Chapter 11: Naked hero. My head is tilted high up and my eyes are focused at the name of my savior’s residence. My mouth is even agape as I continuously stare at it. I blinked several times as I scratched the back of my neck. “Eyy, I'm sure I've heard of this place before. Where did I hear it again? Books?” My face looks so confused. I am certainly familiar with this place. I just can’t figure it out where did I heard about it. Maybe from the books? I often read articles about this realm and it is probably where I saw it. “Astraea Heavenly Palace.” I read out loud. It is engraved using mystical letters and is painted in gold. It looks magical. I stared at it for several minutes because I am still trying to crack my head to remember where did I heard it. I bite my lips in annoyance. Argh. I guess I really read it from a book
I put the map back in my bag and look at both sides to see if there’s someone roaming around. I smiled widely when I saw there weren't any— I immediately ran to hide at the back of a huge cherry blossom tree when I saw a group of students checking. Goodness! I hope they’ll not see me. I hold my chest and feel my heart beating so fast. I am so nervous! I exhaled and released the breath I’ve been holding for minutes when they are nowhere to be found. “That’s so scary. I almost got caught.” I said while breathing so hard. I looked at the direction of where they went and didn’t see any single trace of them. They disappeared. Thank goodness! I roamed my eyes and started searching for a spot where I can climb. I see that the tree has vines and rush towards it. I grabbed on the vines and started climbing. Unfortunately, after several seconds of trying, I fell on the ground. By butt hit the ground which made me hiss. I also growled because of the pain. But this won’t stop me. I immediately
I felt a sharp pain in my head. Raven smacked me hard. I immediately massaged it to soothe the pain and groaned. “Yes. I pity you.” His left eyebrow rose and he growled at me. “For what reason?” “I only treat you as a—” he did not let me finish and smack me again on the head. What made it different from earlier is that he used a book instead of his hand. I am about to complain when he opens his mouth to speak. “You’re really an idiot. I only said it for them to not bully you!” he said while glaring at me. “And besides, I like someone else.” My eyes widened at what he said and I grabbed his arm like I was holding my life to it. “Oh my goodness! Who is the unfortunate woman?”
Chapter 10: Astraea Heavenly Palace.I am just standing while both of my eyes are roaming around to watch my male classmates. They are naked while their long hair is wet. We are inside a bathroom and the sound of running water is invading the silence. My mouth is also agape while they are taking a bath.‘No. I can’t do this.’ I turn the other way around and am about to leave the bathroom when I bump into someone. This made me let go of the wooden bucket I have in my hand. The contents of it fell on the ground which made a noise and caught the attention of the boys who were taking a bath. They glanced at my direction while their brows are furrowed. They are probably weirded out by my actions.
