2024-10-29 19:42:56The untrusty tunnel of trees, so as its name suggested, was as if screaming of danger signs, yet she will always still end up venturing it for she has no other choice but to do so. Up until now, she really just can't claim that she will eventually get used to it. It seemed that she will never be.
Every time that she has to face something such as the one before her, a bad feeling of premonition always rose in her heart. What good would have come to a place that looks as creepy as that? They can not even see what was waiting for them inside the tree tunnel for it was dark. Mostly because of the overlapping canopy.
If not from the crown shyness that inevitably produces a channel-like gap along with the canopy of trees, there will be no single light that will come in the area.
"As shown in the Nexus Portal, at the end of this tree tunnel lies the stone formation. Which could very much likely be the place where the portal could be found. "

"Ohh, I was planning to visit the School Library and check the student records there.""Student records?? What do you need with them??""Well, I happened to have free time tonight so I'm planning to check if there is anything I can get from there regarding the apprentice necromancer.""Ohh.. it seemed that you are really serious about lending your hand to Niccoli. ""Of course, I am serious as much as you guys do. We all want to help our friend Niccoli in our own way. This is the best that I can do."Audrey replied without batting an eye. But in truth, she was using Niccoli's situation to cover up with her own reason for finding the whereabouts of apprentice necromancer.Others might think that she was doing it for the sake of helping Niccoli.But only her, knew it to herself, thatshe was doing it for her sakeBecause she was directly related to it. And she was bound with all these secrets as well as t

"I'm okay. Aren't you two done yet?? Should we check the school records now or shall we just forget about it so you two can continue with your conversation for as long as you wish??""Oh yeah! The school records! I almost forgot... Let me help you look for it..."Since Steve used to visit the school library whenever he had free time, he was already familiar with the place.. As such, he volunteered to help his friends to look for the section where they can see the school records regarding the students' profile.With Steve serving as their guide, it did not take long for them to reach the section where the student records were being kept.The books in this part of the library looked much older than the rest of the books displayed at the other sections of the library.Some books even have thick dust cloaking on its cover. This was enough to show how long those books were being kept here in the far end corner of the library without anyone

"Not if someone intentionally hides it???"Steve suggested another theory.What he said is not entirely impossible. Considering that the records of the sorceress named Delicia could very much likely to lead to with whereabouts of the apprentice necromancer.There is a high chance that the apprentice necromancer itself purposely hide her record a long time ago now. To avoid his whereabouts being leaked to anyone.If that was really the case, does it mean that they reach another dead-end here??While the group of three was busy contemplating what they should do next, another figure approached them from their back.When Audrey and her friends sense that someone was walking towards their direction, they immediately turned to their back to check who it was.When they saw who is the other party, they were surprised.They did not expect to meet Professor Sonny in the middle of the night roaming in the school library.

"Right, we also met Professor Sonny at the school library. Such a pity, that we were flustered by his sudden arrival, as such we hurriedly took our leave as soon as we found the opportunity.""Well, it seemed that he still doesn't have any progress about it either. Since he did not bring it up when we met him just a while ago."Audrey said. Since Professor Sonny did not mention anything about his progress when they met, it was apparent that he too was still working on it.The group thought that they would at least have a couple of rest before they would have to set for another quest.But reality proves them wrong. Because on that very next day, Professor De Belen asked their group of six to follow her back at Professor Sonny's chamber.Apparently, Professor Sonny wants to talk with them. So as their class adviser, Professor De Belen was tasked to personally bring them in his office."Woah??? Why now?? Is it because he saw

When they entered the room, they saw Professor Sonny writing something over his study table. His quill featherpen danced in the untanned sheet of vellum leaving a trace of black ink along its trailAs soon as Professor Sonny noticed the presence of the group of warlock inside his chamber, he stopped on what he was doing and put down the quill that he was holding.After setting his set of vellum and quill to his side, Professor Sonny lifted his gaze and looked at Audrey's group with a smile.He nodded his head towards the group to acknowledge them while Audrey and her friends clasp their hand and bowed their head deeply to show their respect."Good day, Professor Sonny. What can we do for you?""HAHAHA!"Instead of answering Steve's question, Professor Sonny burst into hearty laughter.""This student... Why are you all acting timid when I'm around??? Do I looked like someone who was going to eat you whole??"

Aside from that, these kinds of opportunities are made available for the young warlocks and sorceresses by means of accepting school missions. As such, he needs help from Audrey's group.After all, he was also doing this to help them. So Professor Sonny believes that it is not like he was purposely trying to take advantage of the other party.He would be able to get his hand over the item that he needed to further his knowledge in soul arts. At the same time, he would also be able to help this group of warlocks to resolve their problem.With that being said, the group of warlocks before him cannot be said to be taking the shorter end of the stickAs such, when Mu Lingxi and her friends heard the complete explanation straight from Professor Sonny, they nodded their heads in understanding. What he said really made sense.There is no such thing as free lunch in this world. If they need a favor from the other party then they also ha

Likewise, here and there, fairy dust of varying colors rides in the wind as the cute little pixies darted in the air from time to time. Where their soft giggles mixed with the sound of leaves movement and winds blowing.It was not their first time coming to this place, but nevertheless they still can't help but feel awe by how beautiful this place is.It looked as if it came straight out from the painting of some unknown maestro. Each hue and pictures were placed perfectly in the best place that will complement one another.Even the sound of the running water from the nearby stream is music to one's ear. It sounded so calm and refreshing like a beautiful melody of a flute played high in the afternoon.Combine them all together and it brings the aesthetic of the place into another whole new level. The place looked so surreal that if not from the sound created by the flowing water, they would definitely doubt that it was part of reality.

It did not take that long before the group finished combing the area without leaving a single stone unturned. In the end, it was Nero who spotted the conspicuous bunch of colorful mushrooms that lies in the midst of the lush greeneries of Nothern Blossom Farm.The brilliant colors of the mushrooms dazzled in the area as soon as the sun shines on them. Creating a beautiful reflection of light in the process. Red, orange, yellow, green, name it! Different shades of light reflect from those bunch of mushrooms bringing an ethereal or somewhat dreamy effect in the area.Without waiting any further, Audrey and the rest of her friends step inside the alleged fairy ring one after another.As soon as they all came inside the ring, something like a cloud of fairy dust flew around them. Like a mini-tornado, it circled the group. Successfully trapping them inside the fairy ring. Then a second after that they found themselves standing in another familiar

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.

“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
