Initially, that was her only goal when she was transmigrated to this world.
But as time went by, she got herself involved in a lot of things.
And before she knew it, she was already heading into uncovering the secrets of this world.
The good thing was that she was not alone in this quest now. Because aside from her cute and little black cat, Nero, she also got herself a set of good friends.
The only problem was, they were not aware of her true identity.
Because apparently she was using a disguise and was currently cross-dressing as Andrew. Since she was trying to avoid her arranged marriage with Nike.
To be honest, there were times when she had this urge to come clean and just tell them that she was actually a girl and end all this lies once and for all.
But the thing was that she did not know where to start. Nor how she could continue to live with them afterward.
She did not know how she could spill the beans.
Now that
Nero decided not to mind his master in the meantime and went on telling the story of his life."MEOW"[During my time, the talking oak trees from the Land of Dawn were highly regarded due to their ability to prophesize.]"Ohh!!!!! Really?! Are they like the talking oak tree that we met at the heart of Enchanted Forest?"Audrey once again asked in curiosity"MEOW"[Yes he was just like them. In fact, I believe that he was also one of them.][Though I'm not sure how he was able to survive up until now and landed here in Iridos and ended up becoming a school guardian.]Nero nodded his head as he tried to answer his master's question as calm as he could. But then a second after, he snapped back at her."MEOW"[Hold on for a moment! Can you please stop interrupting me?! How am I suppose to finish my story if you will keep doing that?!]"Oops! My bad, sorry. Go on, I won't interrupt you anymore."Audrey sa
"MEOW"[Since we are already talking about all the peculiarities that we had noticed so far, I would like to add one more to it.]Nero said when he was suddenly reminded of something that had left him wondering before."What is it, Nero?"Audrey waited for her cat to tell her another detail of their past that she might have missed.Maybe what Nero was about to say could help her to unveil more of the truth behind everything that had happened.At that time, Audrey sincerely hoped that she could find the answer that she was looking for. So she could clarify all the doubts that were lingering in her mind.Or to at least further understand the situation that they were currently at."MEOW"[I already told you that I had lived for more than thousands of years, already, right???]Instead of giving his master the answer to her question, Nero answered Audrey's question with another question."Yeah, you already
"But how about your power??? When did you start having it??? Why you haven't shown it to me all those years that we have been together?"Audrey threw her question towards Nero, one after another."MEOW"[The world where we previously came from is one of that magic-forbidden area. It only goes to say that magic does not work there.]"Is that so? Then how were you able to use it during the fire incident at the apartment? How were you able to transmigrate me here in this world if you are not allowed to use magic in that world???"Audrey asked in confusion. She had so many questions in her mind that needed answers.As such, when she was presented with a chance to clarify all those doubts, she had decided to go all out.She no longer hesitated and asked Nero everything that she wanted to know. Although she was not sure if Nero had all the answers that she was looking for."MEOW"[I'll be honest to you, little lass. The
"What are you thinking about anyway? For you to be in a dazed state early this morning?"Steve asked in curiosity.Among the other five of Audrey's friends, he was the one who used to spend more time with Andrew (Audrey) in the library.Since the two eventually ended up as study buddies.During those times that he used to spend withAndrew (Audrey), he noticed that the other party had the tendency of going in a dazed state.But that was just for a brief second, that was why he did not find it alarming.At that time, he had thought that the other party was just being like that because he was trying to internalize or ponder over something that he had read from the book.As someone who used to read a lot of books in a single day, Steve could relate to him somehow.But today is entirely different.It was also his first time seeing someone being in a dazed state for almost more than an hour."Ohh... hmmm. I-I w- w
The professor believed that if she could so as much as bring her back and grant her new chance for life, Delicia would eventually forgive him for what he had done to her in the past. It was for this exact reason why over the past few days, Professor Sonny refrained from himself to meeting anyone.It was almost two weeks already since he had stopped accepting any guests. He had no qualms turning down every single request for his audience. As he busied himself into tweaking his life extension research and incorporating it into Delicia's condition. After all, the woman he loved so dearly was not entirely dead yet, to begin with.Her identity as a direct descendant of a fallen deity making her a half deity herself, allowed Delicia's soul to exist independently to her body. Her mortal body exploded but her soul was still intact because Professor Sonny was able to save her soul at the last moment.It was just that she could not exist outside the chalice anymore because she no longer had her
At first, the painting was just like any other ordinary painting. It was not capable of doing anything. But Professor Sonny enchanted a spirit in the portrait using his ability in the practice of soul arts.From then on, the lady in the portrait became his official guard at the passageway leading to his office. And from time to time, whenever he was faced with a dilemma or stumped over something, he would go and asked the other party out of habit."The Mystic Muses?? That won't work..."Since Lilith is the founder of Mystic Muses as well as the ancestor of Delicia, it was indeed a good idea to start searching from there. But Professor Sonny was already aware of the fact that Delicia was the last direct descendant of the fallen deity, Lilith. So it would only be a waste of his time and effort if he would go there to look for another source of deity blood.After all, those remaining members of Mystic Muses now were nothing but mere followers only. Each of them was indeed talented sorcer
After almost half a month of seclusion, Professor Sonny started accepting guests again.He went on his usual duties as the Headmaster of Iridos and attended everything that he had neglected over the past few weeks.Everything resumed to how it normally was and all went on smoothly as if nothing happened in the first place.At the same time, Niccoli's pet, Luna, had also regained her consciousness right after a week.Exactly just like how Professor Sonny estimated."MEOW"[Little lass, when do you think I could meet Monami again??? I've been missing her like crazy, you know??]Nero asked his master for the umpteenth time.Well, he had been like that ever since he heard the news that Monami already woke up.But apparently, Monami was still inside the folded space and Niccoli never allowed the other party to go out since thenDue to what had happened to Monami back in the Land of Echurid, Niccoli became overly protective of his pet."Hmm... Just give them some time, Nero. You'll eventual
Truth be told, it was not just Audrey who was curious about Monami. Even Allan and the rest of their friends were also curious to know how exactly was Monami right now. After all, they had been together through thick and thins and brave different dangers just to help Monami in her recovery. But more than that, it was because Monami was also their savior.If it was not for the other party pitting herself against the army of the undead just to buy them some time to escape, she would not have landed herself to a precarious situation, in the first place. Which in the end resulted to her losing her consciousness for a long time.Niccoli's friends were also worried sick about Monami as much as he did. At the same time, they were also ridden by guilt by what happened to Niccoli's pet. That was why when they found out that the other party was already awake, they also wanted to see her right away.But for some reason, Niccoli did not seem to be fond of this idea. So as much as they wanted to
[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
