NEW RESOLVE FROM NEW KNOWLEDGE.

CHAPTER 151: NEW RESOLVE FROM NEW KNOWLEDGE.Looking around, Annie felt that she didn't belong there. The looks and glares thrown at her made her feel that way. "Act normal. Try to blend in," Diana said, speaking under her breath to Annie. "Does anyone or anything here seem normal to you?" Annie replied. "You're not wrong about that," Diana scoffed, chuckling softly."Why are they staring at me like that?" Annie asked. She had noticed how the folks of House Dubois, her kin, seemed to be irked by her presence."Ignore them. They are usually pompous because they think no one in our community is better than them. They feel that they are the true royalty, first-class magic wielders, while the rest of us are just second- and third-class magic wielders, and bottom feeders," Diana explained."And is that how it is?" Annie asked. She felt they wouldn't be that prideful if there was zero level of truth to what they asserted."Honestly, I just feel that they are overrated," Diana shrugged. "

THE SELECTION.

CHAPTER 152: THE SELECTION.Fired up, Annie was willing to give her best. But that meant jack to the others, especially Rose, who felt she was worthy and more qualified for the seat than anyone else. To her, it was her birthright. "Hey. Let's go say hi to my folks," Diana requested. "I'd rather stay here until the trial begins," Annie replied. She was now skeptical about mingling with the folks there. In her own way, she was trying to shield herself from being hurt and talked down to any further by anyone."Trust me, you have nothing to be worried about. They'll be thrilled to get to meet you finally. Trust me," Diana tried to convince her. "Okay," Annie shrugged. She had no choice but to tag along, seeing how confident Diana was about the outcome of meeting her folks.As they walked over to meet Diana's folks, Rose and her clique threw hateful stares at her. She ignored them and kept on walking. Others whispered among themselves as they stole glances at her. 'If only looks could

REACHING WITHIN.

CHAPTER 153: REACHING WITHIN.Everyone looked in awe at the phenomenon before them, and they whispered among themselves, marvelling. The council and elders were no exception. They were shocked as well. A couple of them were angered that a total stranger, not their star prodigies, could attain such a feat. Meanwhile, Annie's gran-gran didn't look so shocked anyway. Nor did she express any joy. She was just sad. It was for this very reason that she hid Annie from their world, having known the prophecy over her, and the hostility that would follow, especially from the High Witch. More importantly, it was Annie's mother's dying wish — to protect her daughter from the things she suffered. But the wheel of destiny was stronger than a dying mother's wish. It spun back in place, despite the fact that it was put on hold for some time. "Well, we have another one chosen by the will of the spirits," Katharina, the High Witch, declared, having no choice but to do so. "All who were chosen, ste

SOLIDIFYING HER CLAIM.

CHAPTER 154: SOLIDIFYING HER CLAIM.Raw astonishment filled the atmosphere. The Council, the Elders, and the common folks of the witch community were astounded. An Elder, Marcus, stood on his feet."Oh spirits," he remarked. "I shall die filled with joy knowing that in my lifetime, I got to witness such a magnificent sight — earth magic." "She commands all the elements with such grace. This is rare. We have not seen the likes of this before," another Elder said. Katharina, the High Witch, sulked, gritting her teeth. 'How dare she steal the spotlight from Rose?' she fumed within as she sat in her seat. Meanwhile, Annie was still caught up in the surge of power she felt as she tapped into her core. Her hair flew up in the air, and her glowing eyes vested her with a terrifying aura. Diana smiled proudly at her, as did her grandmother. The White Witch, who coordinated the trials, looked on in awe, carried away by the magnificence she beheld. "Take a deep breath, and release," the

HIGHER STAKES.

CHAPTER 155: HIGHER STAKES.The girls kept wailing; some screamed out in pain. The pounding in their heads intensified. Annie's heart raced. She looked around, but no one seemed to move a muscle to aid them. "Please, make it stop!" she requested, feeling really anxious. But no one responded. "Please, make it stop! You're hurting them," she said to the White Witch. "There's nothing that can be done. They should have known better than to act in falsehood on this hallowed ground — before not just we who are present, but the spirits of our ancestors as well," the White Witch responded."They erred. Yes. But please show them mercy. They were just desperate. No harm was done," Annie argued. The Elders and the Council looked among themselves, saying nothing."Right now, it is out of our hands. Even if we feel content with the punishment, there's nothing we can do to stop it," the White Witch said."Why not?" Annie inquired. "This is a punishment meted out by the spirits themselves. It

ODDS NOT IN THEIR FAVOR.

CHAPTER 156: ODDS NOT IN THEIR FAVOR. Hearts raced. Everyone kept their eyes peeled, scared that they'd be the next to be attacked. No one wanted to be caught off-guard like the girl who was in tears on the floor. Everyone was too scared even to dare to help her. They had to watch their own backs selfishly. And who could blame them? This was not a team task. They were given no such instructions. They all came there individually. A couple of them knew each other, though. But that didn't matter right now. Their survival instinct got them selfishly watching their backs. Annie, on the other hand, was worried about the girl who was compromised. She saw some of the girls in panic mode. "We're going to die. We're going to die!" one said, fidgeting. "I'm not fucking going to die in this place!" Another declared, having a fierce look. They all began hearing the clanging of metal as footsteps approached them. They gulped, getting all sweaty. Some of them quaked in their boots a

ODDS STILL NOT SO MUCH IN FAVOR, THOUGH.

CHAPTER 157: ODDS STILL NOT SO MUCH IN FAVOR, THOUGH.Being choked, losing her breath, Annie didn't know what else to do. How could she defend herself at this point without being on the offensive? It wasn't looking good at all for her. The other girls were exhausted. A good number of them had sustained injuries, weakening them. Those who could heal didn't have time to worry about healing themselves, talk less anyone else. The only window to rest, recover, and heal was when Annie selflessly pinned the hollow knights. But that was quickly interrupted by the emergence of the captain of the hollow knights.The girls got ready for another wave of attack as the hollow knights had broken free and charged toward them. "Have the fifteen minutes not bloody elapsed?!" Rose fumed. Her heart raced. Then, the voice of the White Witch sounded to the hearing of all of them. "You are free to now go on the offensive." "Fuck yeah!" one of the girls remarked, and created a massive fireball out of r

THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE (1).

CHAPTER 158: THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE (1).The atmosphere was filled with awe and reverence, even in the silence as everyone bowed — everyone but the High Witch, Katharina, and Rose, her daughter.In her seat, Katharina sulked, seething with rage. But as for Rose, having seen Annie in action, sharing the same experience with her, it quelled the anger and hatred she had and felt toward Annie all along.She couldn't deny the fact that it was because of Annie she was still alive after all. It was because of her selfless actions that they all made it out alive from the recent trial, even though a couple of them were injured, but none died. But was she displeased, or even angry? Of course! It was written all over her face. But there was no denying the fact that an unexpected person was superior to her. In the midst of all the various emotions, Annie was utterly speechless. She still couldn't wrap her head around what was going on. She subconsciously wouldn't let it register in her hea

THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE (2).

CHAPTER 159: THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE (2).Annie slowly opened her eyes. She yawned as she was exhausted. She sat up and stretched herself. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around. She furrowed her brow at that point. "What the hell?" She realized that she was back home — the house she grew up in back in Texas, before they had to move due to certain reasons she thought at the time were vague, as her grandmother explained to her. Annie was in bed, wearing her favorite pajamas when she used to love back when she was a sophomore in college. She got it along with a couple of other clothes at a discount during the presale of a start-up clothing brand."What the hell's going on?" she asked as she looked around. All her posters, which included those of the Jonas Brothers, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, and some comic book characters, were still on the wall. She looked baffled, confounded."Wasn't I just at the Tri—" The opening of her door interrupted her, interfering with her thought

THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE (3).

CHAPTER 160: THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE (3). "So, what do you think? How do I look?" Annie asked, stretching out her arms slightly to the side as she looked at herself in the mirror. Liana was seated behind her on the bed. "Hmm," Liana grunted. Then she got up and walked toward Annie. Tilting her head to the side, she analyzed Annie's dress. Then she nodded her head, her lips pursed. "For the first time in a very long time, I can actually say that you got your fit right.""Come on. I always get my fit right," Annie chuckled. "Uh, no you don't," Liana objected. "Well, maybe once in a while, when lady luck smiles upon you and bestows you with some inspiration. But I'm always the one who comes to the rescue before you commit a fashion disaster.""Really?" Annie remarked, furrowing her brow slightly — it wasn't so obvious. Deep down, she believed that the opposite was the case, and there were many occasions to prove that. But then again, she was so sure. She doubted her memories. "
