"You told me that its the power within your blood that saved me and brought us to this place, how was that possible?"
"What do you think about this Selene girl?"
Out of nowhere, Audrey found hersef inquiring at Nero. She did not intend to start a conversation with a cat, but given the situation that no other than the two of them shared, she was left with no choice but to satiate her curiosity by asking the question to the other party.
However, Nero did not give her a reply right away so she no longer expected to get a response from the him. Yet, after a few minutes, perhaps out of boredom she still ended up asking Nero another question. She thought that her question would only fell in deaf ear just like before, but to her surprise, Nero answered her this time.
"If I were you, I will steer clear of her."
Nero deliberately warned the girl.
"With all this transmigration thing going on, I am prety sure that there was no need for me to explain to you anymore why we should never let out guards down."
Nero added afterward and Audrey nodded her head in agreement as well as to show that she got his point.
"Don't worry, I totally understand your point. We cannot afford being found out and right now, we have to first secure ourb identity and avoid any form of suspicion. After all, we are not sure how well these people knew the old Audrey."
"Exactlly! We already have a lot of concerns at hand so it would be best if we could at least get rid of her. Let us not add her to our worries anymore. Besides, we are also not yet sure what does she want from the owner of your body. "
Nero seconded Audrey right away and with his voice laced with malice, he added
"But if it turned out that she bore ill intention and she go after you again, of course we would not show her mercy."
Meanwhile, at this point, Audrey started feeling like her eyelids was getting heavy as if two opposing magnets were placed in there forcing them to close and shut completely. However, she tried her best to fight back her drowsiness. Yet it was simply too strong as if everything she went through at that single day was already starting to burn in her. So before she could even stop herself, she already started yawning. Right after that big yawn, she replied
"Yeah,.. you're right,"
She replied with big yawn, and after wiping the tears of sleepiness in her eyes, Audrey added,
"I just wish that Selene would just leave me alone. All I want is to got to live a second life as quiet as possible."
"You can hope for that, but you must brace yourself, as well. This place is different from where we came from."
"Definitely, based on the memory that I acquired this world is not ordinary. Every time that a person reaches their teens they will have the capability to tame a spirit beast and get sent to some sort of training camp to prepare them to the resposibilies waiting for them once they reached adulthood.""
"Well, is it not for the best? That works to our advantage because if that is the case, then I can just simply pretent that I am your newly contracted beast then; not only you will save yourself the trouble of finding one. But also, we no longer have to explain my sudden appearance. Hitting two birds at one stone."
Audrey's face lit up when she heard the ingenous idea of the cat so she seconded him right away.
"That sounds a good idea."
Audrey and the little black cat chatted for a while and planned ahead how they could possibly survive the life in that new world until the girl felt the lid of her eyes turning heavy.
She rested her body on the soft mattress while the cat jumped silently beside her and curled its body as well, preparing to rest.
That night, Audrey slept soundly.
[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
