Knowing that her friends won't take no as an answer, Audrey finally relented and agreed on allowing her friends in accompanying her to Professor Sonny's office.
After everyone already got their sleeping wears exchanged, the group left the boy's dormitory and head towards the direction of School Master Yin's office.
The moon was hanging high above the sky and it was partially covered by the night clouds when Audrey's group went outside.
Passing through several empty corridors and buildings at this late of the night feels different compared when they were passing the same corridor and building during day time.
It felt as if a thousand pairs of eyes were watching over them within those dark shadows of the buildings.
The cold night draft is not helping either. It only makes them more uncomfortable as they padded their way in the empty road.
Their only source of light comes from the moon as it illuminated the pavement that they were walking throu
Audrey basically shared to Professor Sonny every single detail that transpired without bothering to hide a thing.While Audrey was retelling her story, Professor Sonny also focused on her every word. He was listening attentively and was careful not to miss out on any detail from her story."So you mean to say, you have been having this same dream about that lady in the chalice for over a week now and it started ever since you left the Sanguine Tundra???"Professor Sonny asked with a tight frown on his face after Audrey was done telling her story."Yes, Professor Sonny. That is exactly what is going on.'Audrey, on the other hand, gave him an affirmative answer to his question."I see..."Headmaster Yi nodded his head. He put his hand under his chin and pondered over the situation, before continuing."To be honest, I'm not too sure yet how did the other party manage to establish a connection with you. But I will look through it.
The young Professor Sonny was hard to come by genius during his time. He really had a knack in the art of Necromancy.As such, he was able to make a reputation for himself even before he became an official necromancer.Which in result, attracted more attention towards him.Many admired him for his talents back then. But of course, admirers and haters always come hand in hand.So if the young Yin Shun had many admirers back then, it only goes to say that he also had the same number of haters.During his last year of apprenticeship, a necromancer plotted against him.That necromancer deliberately told the young Yin Shun about an ancient domain. He thought that once the young Yin Shun went to that place, it will be his end.As expected, the young Yin Shun went to the said ancient domain.But instead of meeting a misfortune,he ended up having a chance encounter with a talking oak tree that was hidden in that ancient dom
The young Yin Shun tried his best to hide his identity as an apprentice necromancer which does not seem to be hard for him.Considering that he was able to hide this secret up until now and he even became a well-respected figure in the mage communityMore than that, he was also able to make a name for himself and become one of the principals of a prestigious school of magic. Which is the Iridos.Professor Sonny had lived a peaceful life as a normal warlock.He has both the power and good status, which allows him to live a carefree life.Despite his past deeds, Professor Sonny never suffered a setback.And as if life can't get any fairer to those who commit sins and never repent, he even got a chance to meet a girl to complete his almost perfect life!It was a sorceress named Delicia.Delicia had this kind of face that seemed to be cut right from the pages of a men's magazine.She is that kind of beauty that will make you
It was for this reason why one day, Delicia suddenly made up her mind and left Iridos without telling anyone.She fled to an extremely remote place.The sorceress named Delicia settled herself to a typical backwater village that was far from the reach of the outside world and vibrant life of warlocks and sorceresses.All she ever wanted that time is live a life away from magic.At first, she was not sure how she would survive to live in that kind of place. After all, she came from a family of sorceresses and she was used to living a life of luxury.But she told her left that anything will do, as long as she is far from Iridos.She made herself believed that everything will be fine as long as she turned her back on her life as a sorceress.She doesn't wish to associate herself with magic anymore. Because it will just remind her of Yin ShunDelicia did not leave Professor Sonny, because she stopped loving him already.
But Professor Sonny never imagined, even in his wildest dream that the curse that he put on the child in his lover's womb will eventually back fire on his plan. Because after around two decades, the incomplete soul that he thought to be dead already was transmigrated back to this world again and it became the same incomplete soul that ended up possessing her own original body that was left in this world.Meaning, Audrey who transmigrated to this world originally belong to this world!The good for nothing Audrey that died on the cliff is no other than herself as well. Though it was only the other half of her soul.Due to the nourishment from the life essence of her half-deity mother, Delicia, Audrey's mortal body did not die right away when the other half of her incomplete soul dissipated.Whoever killed the previous Audrey that time, really did a good job. Because it was done at a very crucial moment when her incomplete soul needs a body to possess.
Everything went according to his plan and he also finds a suitable candidate to do the task for him.Since there was a group of young warlocks that was asking for his help, then he thought that he can make use of themSo he asked Audrey's group to get the ancient chalice for him. Under the pretext of accepting a school mission.He badly wanted to get the ancient chalice on the old mansion as soon as he learned that the Mystic Muses were currently on the move to look for their missing young mistress.But since those itinerants sorceresses were also looking for the whereabouts of the apprentice necromancer then he cannot risk doing anything that will going betray his identity.That is why he made used of Audrey's group to acquire the ancient chalice for him. In this way, he will not raise any suspicion to himself.But one thing that he did not expect is the arrival of the sorceresses of Mystic Muses in the Blood City.He n
The group went on their usual morning routine as soon as they woke up the next morning. Since Professor Sonny already gave his word that he would look into the matter regarding Audrey's dream, then they have decided to leave everything to him. They have to focus on their studies in the meantime if they wanted to catch up with all the lessons that they have missed.It was a good thing that Iridos was never strict when it comes to attendance. Or else, their group would have been called out due to their recent absences already. Iridos was so lenient when it came to the matter concerning their student's behavior towards learning magic. To the point that one, one can even leave the school in the middle of the school term and never returned to his or her class if one day, they simply decided not to attend it anymore. This would not affect the class in any way. In fact, the members of the teaching faculty of the school were already used to it. To the point that they don't bother the
But apparently, Nike was aiming for more than that.Last time he checked his progress, the amount of mana that can be stored in his body was already around 80 mana.Just a few steps away from the 100 mana benchmark for him to qualify in the amateur level of the Orange Realm.He was aiming to jump into the Orange Realm by next year and he believed that with his friends' ability, they will be able to do the same."Right! We can do this. Let us all aim to meet at the Orange Realm class next year!"Audrey said those encouraging words to herself more than to anyone else.She said those words not just to boost the morale of her friends but also to set standards upon herself.By the end of this school term, she would see to it that she would already qualify to join the class meant for those student warlocks and sorceresses who reached the Orange Realm.Since Selene's starting point was already a realm higher than her, then Audre
[Distract them for me.]“Was it not only right for Steffi to get to use to eye whenever she feels like it?? 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? I am sure, Ariel wants to have her turn too.&rdqu
“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
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
