2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as Audrey opened the door to her room, an imposing black cat who was currently sitting at her bed greeted her.
[Where have you been at this time of the night???]
If not because of the black tail that was languidly swishing and flicking behind him, Nero could easily pass off for the character of a granny old man who was scolding his naughty grandchild for going home late at night.
Aside from that, since this cat of hers is not something ordinary, it can also sit with its hind legs and cross two of his arms across his chess.
So imagine how imposing Nero was right now, while he was acting like a grown-up man. He was even playing with his whiskers as he eyes his master questioningly.
"I just had a casual stroll outside and had lost track of time. Why is there anything that happened here while I was away???"
[None, at all. I just did not expect that you won't be here to welcome me when I arrived.]

Knock! Knock!On the next morning, Audrey was woken up by the soft knocking that was coming from her door. As soon as she realized that it was her friends waiting for her outside, she immediately sat up. While she was stretching her back to relieve the stiffness in her body due to sleeping she is also walking towards the door. However, just as when she was about to open the door, she heard Allan's voice on the other side calling for her."Andrew????""Comiiiiingggg"She answered back while yawning.The sun has not yet to fully ascend to the sky when Nike and the rest of Audrey's friends decided to start the day. In fact, the dawn chorus hasn't finished their first song yet when the group went on to knock at Audrey's door. Even the early rays of the morning sun had just barely filtered into the room through the capiz windowpane when Audrey woke up. Opening the door, Audrey tried to rub away the sleepiness remaining in her eyes
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Kind of cliche
"Twenty years ago, there were a total of three major occurrences that happened in our kingdom but I believe that only one of them could possibly lead us to the news of the apprentice necromancer that appears on our kingdom."Nike started as he looked at each of his friends to make sure that their attention was on him. Before he proceeded on reporting everything that he managed to uncover so far."One of those major occurrences happened 18 years ago. This strange phenomenon was recorded in our library but most of the accounts of what happened that day were taken somewhere else. Nevertheless, I still managed to learn some of it.It was said that on the 23rd day the first quarter of that year, the sun dimmed and engulfed the sky with darkness. The entire kingdom was plunged into darkness even though it was clear daybreak that time.""It sounds like there was a solar eclipse that time..."Audrey thought to herself. But of course, she did
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Hear some tea
"Ohh.. so the apprentice necromancer followed them here to your kingdom to chase after his runaway bride?? Is that what happened next??"Steve said as he tried to continue the story narrated by Nike."Yes, it eventually ended that way. The apprentice necromancer caught wind of the news that the love of his life elopes with another man and fled to the Kingdom of Corona to start their own love story. So he followed them down here. But that it was only after a couple of years since they elope that the apprentice necromancer learned of their whereabouts.""Ohhh... that is really tragic for the apprentice necromancer. He was already condemned to live his life in seclusion because of his identity and involvement in the forgotten practice of necromancy. Yet even the girl that she trusts and loved te most betrays him and left him for another man."Audrey can somehow feel the pain and sorrow that the apprentice necromancer had felt that time. H
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Way back home
"If only we have Audrey here, it will be easier for us to find more truth about the matter.."Nike muttered despondently"Yes, indeed. If she was only here to help us acquire the information from her clan. It will be a lot easier for us..""Why don't we talk to Selene instead??? She is also from Lee Clan, right?"Niccoli suggested. Since he knew the truth behind his brother's situation he suggested Audrey's cousin instead.In any sense, they were still from the same clan."No.. it can only be Audrey. Selene might not even be privy about that matter. The Clan Head makes sure to lock down that information. It was only because my father is the emperor that he gave some of the information. But anyone aside from Audrey, I don't think will be much of a help to us""Me??? Why me???"Hearing Nike's words, even Audrey was confused.'Why it has to be me?? I don't even have an idea about that. It was my f
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Unprecedented twist
"I never expected that I would personally send myself back to that place after running away that night."Audrey whispered to herself as they made their way.[Well, guess what? So do I. It didn't occur to me that a day will come that we will set foot back at your clan residence without anyone dragging us on our feet.]"Yeah, this was really an unexpected twist on my plan."[Well, let us just be thankful that you got a great face altering mask with you. Now, let us just hope that it will be enough to fool the eyes of your grandfather later on.]"Yeah.. and I think I would have to hide you from them as well. We should not give them anything that could point out any similarity between Andrew and Audrey."[I could not agree more. Considering that we will be entering the place where most of the people know you very well before, it is indeed better to be safe than sorry. We have to
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! The matter of the past
Of course, the head of the Lee Clan, did not dare to put an air in front of a royal so he clasped his hand in front of him and bowed his head low to pay his respect to the two princes who decided to grace his residence with their presence."Paying his respect to Prince Nike and Prince Niccoli. May I know what this old man can do for our princes??"Johnson asked without lifting himself from his bow.Despite being the Clan Head, Johnson still has to act subserviently in front of the two princes; especially to Prince Nike. However, this has nothing to do in being timid or a pushover. Rather, it was because this same prince before him is the reason why their clan was still enjoying their status until now. It was all thanks to him that they have the so-called backing despite the scandal that their clan had made.It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lee Clan is at his mercy. That explains why he treated Prince Nike that way. In a sense, he was their benefa
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Lofty young prince
"Since you already know about it, may I asked the prince what else could be the reason for your sudden visit?? I already told them everything I know."Johnson, on the other hand, replied calmly but the tone of his voice was devoid of any warmth that he previously displayed.When it comes to matters that concern his late son as well as the incident that happened 18 years ago, he will always act that way.In fact, he also acted that way when Audrey tried to learn more about her parents before.Noting the change in the Clan Head's attitude, the group already understands that it won't be easy for them to get the information that they wanted.From the current looks of it, this old man will be their first tough nut. They will have to crack this tough nut first if they wish to learn more about what really happened to Audrey's parents and the apprentice necromancer 18 years ago.Being a dotted prince since childhood, Prince Niccoli was not used for
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! All but an act
However, despite the aggravating situation, as a clan head, Johnson still did not allow to lose his bearings.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

[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
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Blame it on the appetite
“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
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Passphrase
“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
