The group made one last final revision on their plan before wrapping it up altogether. After that, they decided on the date on when they will be going to take their leave to accomplish the mission that they accepted.
"Andrew, regarding our proposal the other day. Do you already have a plan in mind???"
Niccoli asked in a whisper as he discreetly closed the distance between him and his friend, Andrew. When Audrey heard Niccoli and realization dawned on her, three back lines streaked down on her face.
'Here we are again... Uhrrrg!'
Niccoli seemed to be the stubborn colds during cold winter days that persistently latched on Audrey all day and night. It was as if almost every single day, he won't ever forget to come bugging his friend about the progress for their secret operation or if there is any plan at all regarding the 'OPLAN duped Fiona in'.
"What do you guys talking about????"
Jace butted in as he stood in between Audrey and
"I need to wash my face. I'll be leaving."After bidding his farewell like that, Jace immediately left his friends who were still plastered by his weird action."Why is he so obsessed about washing his face today????!"Niccoli asked in bewilderment when Jace's departing figure was already out from earshot."He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."Steve said as he shakes his head."Should we asked him to sleep again and wake him up on the other side of his bed instead???"Allan suggested with an earnest expression on his face. His friends, on the other hand, look at him as if something weird had grown from his face."Allan, don't bother using your brain anymore. It is not meant to be used anyways."Niccoli said as he looked at Allan with sympathy. He even patted the other part's shoulder after saying that.He can't take an idiom when he heard one. He is taking it word by
"But Andrew, we should start planning it now. Or else Allan will get used to not seeing us already. When that time comes, it will be too late for sorry. We will lose our friend."Niccoli had no plan of backing away. It was like he would not give it a rest until he was able to persuade his friend, Andrew, to agree to his request. On the other hand, Audrey was no pushover either. She was also adamant about turning down Niccoli's request. After all, the thing that she will have to do under Niccoli's plan is not something that she would feel some sense of pride after accomplishing. Just the name of the plan itself was more than enough to turn even Audrey's innards into another shade of green.Operation Dupe Fiona inWhy it has to be me???Why do I have to end up duping another girl when I am also a girl, myself???Sadly, Niccoli and the others were not aware of it, yet."I don't think that would be the case
Meanwhile, since he already gets what he wanted, Niccoli finally excused himself and took his leave; allowing the master and cat duo to finally have the time for themselves. On the other hand, when Niccoli was no longer around, Nero suddenly recalled something.[Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I asked around with my friends to look for any job opening within Brujeria. I just got news from them this morning. Currently, there is an opening for a part-time job.]Nero was supposed to share this news with Audrey early this morning but the relentless nagging of Niccoli did not allow him to do so.He almost forgot about it."Oh, that's great! What would be the job description then?"[It is not that hard. You just have to do some menial stuff like refilling arrows and sharpening daggers.]"Huh???? Will I be part of some maintenance team in that job?"[Sort of. You will be working in some kind of Sports Complex.
"Andrew, I heard that you will be going to work at Zodiac Arena, is that true?"Allan asked when he got a chance to talk to Audrey while they were packing their things and ensuring that they had everything they need."Oh yes, that is right. I will be doing some minor work there every after class. As you know, I'm short of some mage coins as of the moment. So needed to earn some.""Well, good luck with your new job then. I guess we will be seeing each other more often. I usually go there to train.""Jace also goes to that same stadium. What a pity that I decided to enroll in the other sports complex instead. If I had known earlier, I should have chosen Zodiac Arena over Affinity Arena."Steve butted in when he heard what his friends were talking about."It's okay Steve, I heard that Affinity Arena hires a far more experienced sword master than Zodiac Arena. So you cannot say that you are at the losing end of the stick. In any case, your stadi

Meanwhile, completely unaware of the guardian tree's dilemma, the students proceeded on their task and since they already knew what has to be done, they no ling dally and started ripping off their student emblems.Audrey, and her friends raised their right hand in the air and recited the required ritual almost all at the same time."Andrew of the Red Realm request permission to exit""Jace of the Red Realm request permission to exit""Niccoli of the Red Realm request permission to exit""Nike of the Red Realm request permission to exit""Steve of the Red Realm request permission to exit""Allan of the Red Realm request permission to exit"When the dazzling light emanated by the golden leaves of the talking oak tree finally subsided, the group of warlocks was nowhere to be found.They are now teleported somewhere outside the premises of IridosThe world warped around Audrey and her friends, placing th
When Audrey got the warning from her cat, Nero, the frown between her eyebrows formed a tight-knit."It seemed like this is really no ordinary desert."She said as she scans the area around her once more."Hey, look! There are footprints over there."Allan shouted as he saw some traces of human footprints amidst the sand."Let's head over to take a look."Nike ushered his friends as he leads the way. They follow the trace left by the footprints and not long ago, they discovered a group of warlocks ahead of them.The group ahead of them had their wands on their hands and where casting spells one after another which seemed to suggest that they were battling with some other entity.All of them were dressed in a magic robe but its design was entirely different from what Audrey and the rest of them were wearing.It only means one thing. They are student warlocks from different School of Magic!Nike put hi
Nike nodded her head in delight upon finding a clue as to what they should be looking for. But before he could continue his interrogation, one of the warlocks from the other group intercepted him."Wait a moment, I just happened to recall something really weird about this place. No matter how much water we drink, it doesn't seem to quench our thirst. Instead, the more we drink the feebler we become."After some time, the third warlock from the other group speaks what was in his mind."Now that you said that, I also realized that it was only when we were resting to alleviate our exhaustion and quench our thirst when that fellow suddenly appeared and attacked us!"The first warlock who offered a handshake with Nike butted in as recognition dawned on his tired and pale face."Does that mean drinking water does not work and instead it attracts the sandman???"Steve asked to reconfirm the details. So far, their group has not yet dru
