After all, it was still a fact and will remain a known fact that one can turn down a request of a guest if he wishes to.
And that is what he exactly did. Regardless of what action the group would going to take afterward just to get him speak he won't care anymore.
All he knows is that he cannot risk having their clan's deepest secret to be known by anyone else.
The other party could take this matter as if nothing but a part of their school mission. But for him and for his family, this matter concern more than else.
It was out of safeguard that he was willing to oppose even the emperor of the nation itself back then when he kept for himself the records for the incident that happened 18 years ago.
It was still for that same reason, that he would rather risk his clan's overall welfare and standings just to protect their Clan's sec

"Why??? It is not as if we really can't do that???? If that is the only way to get them to talk about that incident that happened 18 years ago, I am willing to go to such length!" If there is someone who wanted for this task to be done, there is no doubt that it would be Niccoli. After all, this is not just about a mere school mission for him. This is all for the sake of his closest confidant, Luna. The reason why they were looking for the whereabouts of the apprentice necromancer is all for the welfare of her cat, Luna. A cat she may have been. But Niccoli sees her not just a cat but a family member. A close family member. So he as willing to do everything just to ensure that he would be able to save Luna. As such he wanted to complete this task more than anyone else. "If I were in that same situation back there, I would probably do the same thing that you did. I will also use threats to intimidate the other party. But I don't think t

Later that night, Audrey can be seen preparing herself for her secret mission. Nero was watching his master as he climbs to their bed.[Little lass, are you sure you want to do it this way??]"Yes, I have to. I can't just sit idly and do nothing about it. Especially now that I know that this is also related to me."[Is it really worth it?? I thought you like to live your life as you want it to be? You said it yourself before that you will not allow anything to hold you back. That thing about the curse has nothing to do with you anymore. It is just the just part of the past of the previous owner of that body. The cursed child is not you, little lass. Don't confuse yourself with someone else. The cursed child is the 'previous' Audrey, not you.]"I don't know Nero. I honestly don't know why, but there is something deep inside me that was telling me that I have to do something about it. I'm not sure if this was just the result of curiosity or if
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! It was all for her
As soon as she arrived at the doorstep of the Lee Clan's residence, Audrey immediately headed straight to the study room. Knowing her grandfather, she was sure that Johnson could very much likely to be still deeply engrossed with his books. There is no doubt that he was still inside his study room even at this time of the night"...PERNÓ MÉSA APÓ..."Audrey said as softly as possible. As much as she can, she wanted to proceed quietly inside the room.Sneaking into someone else household was madea lot easier by her knowledge in the way of magic. Though the spells that she learned from school, she can do a lot of things that could easily stump a normal person.Just like passing through concrete walls for example. Like a ghost, she can easily barge into anywhere and pass through the walls of a building as long as she used the PHANTOM SPELL.As soon as she cast this spell to a specific wall in the building, a ripple will appe

When Audrey saw the sadness in her grandfather's eyes, her heart broke into a thousand pieces. Her eyes swam in tears the more she looked at Johnson.She knew well enough that the reason behind those tears that he was trying hard to hold back is she.The granddaughter that left her dotting grandfather to follow her own will.The young miss of the Lee Clan who runs away to her responsibility to the family.All those feelings of pain and hate that she kept in her heart for thinking how selfish her family is for using her as a pawn for their pursuit of power, it all melted away.All those feelings of betrayal for thinking that the only man that she treated as her family is only using her to achieve his personal goals and selfish gains, all of them were replaced by longing.As she stared back at the old man who obviously loves her as a family. A FAMILY"I'm sorry---"Both the granddaughter and grandfather said at the same time.
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Truth about the past (1)
Knowing that there is no chance for him to hide the truth anymore, Johnson decided to come clean.For some unknown reason, he felt like he owes Audrey the truth. As such he felt like he was compelled to tell her everything that happened 18 years ago."Your mother is a sorceress from Magus Academia, that is what I know. While your father used to be a great general from such a young age. Just like your brother Gaoyan.Your father was out to the borders of the kingdom all year round to chase away bandits and rebels. That is how he first met your mother. Your father used to be a patient to your mother who was a famed healer back then.She was not just a beauty but also a great doctor. With each healing brew that she concocts, one can be brought back to life even those that were in the brink of dying.That is why she managed to get the attention of the great warrior, your father. Eventually, the two of them fell in love with each other and that is

Until he met your father and that is when she started falling in love again.She wanted us to give the normal life that you deserve. While she will look for the warlock to face him once and for all.She intends to defeat him and asked him to lift up the curse that he cast upon you. All we know is she went back at Magus Academia saying that it is the only place where she can definitely find the warlock who harmed you."Audrey listened carefully to Johnson's narration. Although it was long, she still tried her best to remember every detail about it.It was an achievement itself that she managed to listen to his long story without dosing off. Phew!But what really made her almost do a facepalm is when she heard the latter part of the story. When she learned that Magus Academia is the very place where they can definitely find the appre

I went on to the extent of burning a quarter of my life just to save you then you will just die for no reason?? Are you nuts??]"But what about the prophecy???"[Who are they to dictate your future??

I mean, she is older than the two of you so naturally, she was supposed to have more authority above both of you, no?.”“Ehhh… She’ll be fine. I’m the youngest so they should let me wear it more.” (Meredith)“The kid is right. The eldest should have the eyeball. She is a genius” (Steffi)Steve, on the other hand, seemed to get what Audrey was trying to do, so he said something that would surely add fuel to the fire.“But what about the middle child?

“Now, where are we? Right, cooking.”Steffi changed the topic on purpose, before turning to her sisters.“I need the eye to check if it's ready, who has it?”“It’s around here, somewhere,”Meredith replied as she started to rummage through a pile of disorganized drawers. She felt obliged to respond since she was the last one to use the Magus Eye. Unfortunately, she forgot where she left it.“The last time I saw it, you put it in the utensils compartment, Meredith” Steffi insinuated using a lazy tone so the other party rebutted,“Don’t use that tone with my name.”Ariel on the other hand joined in this time to inform them that the eye was nowhere to be seen.“It’s not there this time.”After a while of contemplation, Meredith’s face lit up as she recalled something.“Aha! Steffi always put it in the dish cabinet:”And just like that, she found where her sister was hiding it.Consequently, the group found it interesting to watch how the three sisters could be talkative without having t

“I agree with Ariel. Why don’t we invite them over? This way, we could continue our chat there whilst they take their much-needed rest.” This time, it was Meredith who spoke and she deliberately told her sisters this. Nonetheless, she has spoken the words loud enough to be heard by others. The students, on the other hand, were beyond ecstatic when they overhear the ongoing conversation. But decided that it would be best not to allow their emotion to show on their faces. At this point, Meredith turned to the group and greeted them with a bow. “Let me apologize on my sister’s behalf. The thing is, it has been a while since we had visitors. As such, we are no longer accustomed to receiving guests.” She insinuated before she slowly approached the bunch of bewildered youngsters; careful not to bump her toe as she felt her way through the darkness. Her blindness was made obvious by her action and it made her appear pitiful to any onlooker. Truth be told, the Grae’s current act of displ

“Seriously, when will they stop obsessing over Cercei?”Tsking in annoyance, Steffi stealthily moved her slender fingers next to the Magnus Eye with the full intention of taking it back from her younger sister’s possession.“These people were getting on my nerves!”She purposely added this to appeal to her sisters’ sentiment so that their minds could focus somewhere else and they would not notice it once she started hogging the magic eye all for herself again. Meanwhile, her plan worked, as it always did. Ariel readily agreed to her and with a voice full of despondency, she said,“That’s how the mage community works. They fear what they could not understand and so they are set on destroying anything that they cannot control.”Ariel finished with an exasperated sigh. Meredith, on the other hand, could not help but clenched her fist as she was reminded of their good friend’s plight. Then with her brows knitted together, she roared,“The gal did not deserve all this hatred.”Meanwhile, t

On the flip side, rewinding the clock a tad, just a few minutes before Audrey’s group discovered that they unknowingly fall under a spell, the Graes were already watching them. “The eye! Who has the eye?” Meredith, the youngest, shouted at the top of her lungs. Steffi, on the other hand, stepped away from the giant cauldron before answering. “Over here. I had it with me.” She purposely put a safe distance between her and her two sisters before taking the eye out from her pocket. Afterward, she put the eyeball inside her empty socket. Meanwhile, Ariel, the middle child among the three sisters complained, “You again? You are always snagging our eyes by yourself.” “I know right? Give us a chance as well.” Meredith seconded. But Steffi only rolled her removable eye and mumbled, “Oh, shut up! Stop whining, it's because I have more use of this than the two of you combined.” Ariel no longer argued. But Meredith was different. “Give me that, it is my turn today.” She insinuated and

“But this was done in consideration of what was the lesser evil. News about how the petrifying monster has been terrorizing the Black Forest had already reached the ears of the masses and as a result, was causing mayhem among the people; both non-magic and magic practitioners alike. If it was not for that, the mage community would not make a move.” “Terrorizing, you say.” The Grae mockingly repeated Niccoli’s word that struck her noggin the most. Then with a contemptuous scoff, she added, “What an interesting choice of words considering that it was you, students, who made the first move against her. If you were to ask me, I think it is more accurate to say that it was the other way around. You all are the ones doing the terrorizing. You brought the melee with you and now that she retaliated, you turned her into a villain?” Everyone fell silent afterward but it was not because they were trying to come up with better arguments to refute the other party’s words. Rather, it was due to
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Trouble heading your way
Audrey was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way. Meanwhile, the results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to. Niccoli dragged Audrey into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Niccoli immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment. Niccoli was also excited to see the name ‘Andrew’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks. “Andrew! You are the first! You are the first!” Niccoli was extremely surprised and held onto Audrey’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as i

[Alright, I must admit it’s my fault this time. My bad.] “As you should!” Ultimately, Nero acknowledged the part he played in inciting the agitated hut to action. But he also did not forget to let Audrey know that he did not appreciate her tone. [Needless to say, raising your voice is completely unnecessary. Besides, getting mad at me won’t change anything, will it? You’re kind of embarrassing me, just you know.] The cat tried to reason out but with her and her friends’ lives at stake and almost put in danger, Audrey did not back away easily this time. “Oh yeah? Then swear to me that from now on, you will be mindful of your choice of words. We have to be careful with every word we are saying because it was not every time that we got a chance to take it back.” Meanwhile, Nero’s response came shortly. However, it was so brief. Moreover, it did not sound sincere either. [Okay. I promised] So Audrey prompted the cat to state the matter precisely because she did not want him to circ

“What if the Graes already took notice of us as soon as we entered their perimeter and right now, we are under a spell; making our eyes play a trick on us? What if what we are seeing right now is not real?”“Well, if that is the case, then I guess there is only one way to check it.”Audrey insinuated and without wasting another breath, she said the passphrase."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Slowly, it dawned on the others as well what was possibly happening and so without waiting to be told what to do, they recited the same thing too."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."They whispered into the air one after another and almost immediately, the landscape changed into something else, right before their naked eyes.Everyone watched with an awestruck face as the trees turned into fences. At the same time, just a few feet away from where they were standing, they noticed how an empty lot from moments ago started to morph into what seemed to be an inconspicuou
