"Do you honestly think that we also have that much time on our end to waste with the kinds of you???? Why don't we just stop wasting each other's time? Like I had said, you can just leave us alone. We don't need your rudeness here." Unable to hold himself back anymore, Jace fired up and no longer bother using formalities as he rebuked the other party's rudeness. "Y- you!!!-----" Flustered, the student assistant was caught between words and she was left speechless. She did not expect that the young warlocks whom she thought that she could just bully easily, would actually retaliate at her win such spicy words like that. The yellow student sorceress at that moment was not sure what to say. It was her first time meeting a freshman that speak to his senior that way. Of course, Audrey and her friends were no pushovers. Especially not the cranky Jace Just because she was two magic realms higher than them, she already thought that would be enough to intimidate their group already? Sh
"My bad, okay? I admit it. My temper must have got the better of me. It was just that I really could not take it coming from her. How dare she looked down at us??? She was not even a big shot?! TSK!"Jace tried to reason out when he got reprimanded by Andrew (Audrey)But there was a noticeable change in the tone of his voice and attitude when he said that.From how Jace sounded right now, it seemed that he had no longer had any intention of arguing at allThat might better be the case for him, or else he might have another taste of Audrey's other hand.The group let Allan handle the situation instead.Since Allan was the most smooth talker among them, especially to ladies, then there was no one better than him to do the workFrom that point onward they made it sure that Jace would not get a chance to wade in the conversation with his tact as if a bull in a china shop."Yeah sure. I'll see you next time then..."They heard Allan told the student assistant after their long private chit
"Ohh, by the way, I would appreciate it guys if you won't rat me out to Fiona."Allan very naturally reminded his friends against telling Fiona about what just happened.As much as possible, he did not want for Fiona to find out any of what he just did today. Because it might just bring unnecessary trouble upon himself.He did not want the other party to misunderstand him and misinterpret his action as flirting and cheating.Fiona was the student sorceress in the Orange Realm that Allan was currently dating.She was known to be one of the School Belles as well and she had once teamed up with Selene during the semi-annual student assessment since the two of them were classmatesBy some works of fate, that first encounter at the school competition was followed by another series of encounters and eventually, the two started dating."Oh yeah, about that Fiona girl. So you two really ended up together, after all"Steve commented to start a new conversation.Since they no longer have anyt
"Is there anything I could help you with???"Professor De Belen asked them while she was organizing her personal belongings that were left scattered on her table.Since the student warlocks were already there, she just decided to get it done and helped them with what they need as soon as possible so she could still have time left to deal with her own business right afterward."Ohh, just forgive the mess. I was quite busy lately that I barely had time to organized my stuff"Professor De Belen said to excuse her messy room."Professor De Belen we came here to ask you a favor. If it would be fine with you, could you please asked for Professor Sonny's audience on our behalf???"Steve no longer beat around the bush and went straight to the point right away."Ohh???? May I asked what was that for??? Why do you wish to meet the Headmaster"Professor De Belen asked. Slightly intrigued by her students' sudden request."It is about what we saw from the Jar of Misfortune, teacher. We think that
"Yes, exactly! That is the place where we found it."Jace replied to Professor De Belen's question with an affirmative answer."So you mean to say that Professor Sonny has an ancient chalice in his possession right now. But what does it have to do with what you saw in the Jar of Misfortune????"Well as much as he wanted where their conversation was going, she still could not figure out its connection to what they saw win the Jar of Misfortune.So Professor De Belen felt the need to ask that question to clarify her doubts."The ancient chalice that we gifted to Professor Sonny was not just an ordinary item. There was someone trapped inside of it and it even tried to harm one of us before. We saw a lady tried to escape out from that ancient chalice before and we want that to stop that from happening again. By no chance, we should allow that lady to escaped the ancient chalice or she might hurt one of us"Niccoli suddenly butted in."Ohhh??? Is that so?? But what makes you think that way
"Oh is that true???"Professor Sonny replied with wide eyes.But weird enough, it did not seem that he was as worried about the news at all.If any, Professor Sonny even looked like he was exhilarated to hear about it!They have at least expected to see a worried or bother expression from Professor Sonny after hearing the bad news, but it seemed that would not be the case.Because contrary to what hey expected, the Headmaster even looked delighted as if he just won a jackpotIsn't it a bit weird???"Oh, I mean.. Is that true???"Professor Sonny would probably have realized that his reaction might have been a bit out f the line and not to say, weird.As such, not a second had past and yet he repeated what he just said but this time, however, he did it with the normal emotion that was expected from him at that current situation.But Professor De Belen already noticed it and so her eyebrows could not help but raise."MEOW"[I told you, little lass, there was something definitely fishy ab
"Who was with me then???? I'll gonna check the school pantry if they got any delicious afternoon combo available in the menu."Niccoli invited to which his other friends reacted eagerly with enthusiasm"Count me in. I think I'm craving for some Mellow Cola. Since I am feeling quite down, lately"Jace said and Allan seconded him right away."Oh yeah... I'd love that too!"Allan already had a taste of so many beverages out there, but so far, nothing tasted any better for him aside from Mellow Cola.As such, when he heard Jace mentioned his favorite drink, he could not help but felt excited.Juts the mentioned of its name was already enough for him to salivate.Mellow Cola, so as by its name was a type of carbonated drink like Cola made but it was made from the tears of a Salamander Spinx.A special kind of beast that was specifically reared for one specific purpose and that was food production.Mellow Cola has unique carbonation that felt like a firecracker inside one's mouth when one
The art of Seductress which Professor De Belen practiced to the highest level was actually one of the prided techniques amongst the secret arts that were being taught in the all-female sect, Mystic Muses.Professor De Belen had proven her worth when she managed to master the Art of Sedecutress at such a young age.Allowing her to catch the attention of Madam Xing.It was also for that same reason that Professor De Belen was chosen afterward to do the undercover and investigate the Iridos's highest and esteemed Headmaster. No other than Professor Sonny himself Because apparently, they had been tipped off that Professor Sonny used to have a clandestine past and a secret affair with one of the members of his teaching faculty beforeMadam Xing highly believed that the one whom Professor Sonny had an affair with in the past was actually their long lost young mistress, Delicia.She just needed proof for that so she roped her student, Ella to join her quest of uncovering the Headmaster's se
[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
