Chapter 6: Disguise.
“What’s wrong, mother?” Snow White asked me while I’m staring at the moonlight here outside the staircase. The stairs are made of wood which always makes a creaking sound. Both of my hands are under my chin while I am too preoccupied of thinking on how I can get to the Heavenly Realm without getting caught. I need to be careful or it will cost my whole life. I still have lots of dreams to fulfill and it will not help if this fails. I will have to immediately bid farewell to my soul and face death.
Snow White’s question distracted me but despite this, I kept my eyes at the sky above. “Nothing. Just thinking about how I can get to the Heavenly Realm. Only those of the male gender can participate and join the competition. But I need to visit the said realm. It is the only pl
“Yes, mother. It’s me. I turned myself into a hairpin. This will serve as your protection. I will cast a spell so that no one can recognize you.” She tittered. I blinked several times because I was too stunned to speak. “Really? No one will recognize my face, even the other Foxes?” “Yes, mother. But—” “What’s wrong?” “You need to wear this pin all the time. And also, you need to be careful. If ever this pin got broken, I will go back to my original form and also, the spell will no longer work if ever that happens. Another thing that can make me go back to my form is when a strong force lets me out," she said in a warning tone. This made me alarmed. So, I shouldn’t let anyone touch this pin.
Our professor walked towards our direction. “Do you know this boy? His name is Moon. Do you have a student named Moon?” Our professor looked at me and started inspecting me from head to toe. He even pursed his lips while staring at every inch of my face and body. I started sweating. I don’t like what’s happening right now. I gripped the railings of my shoulder bag which is hanging on my right side. “I don’t know him.” I heard our professor mutter. “He is probably one of those boys who does not attend my classes and skipped school. He must have heard of the decree and decided that he wants to enter the academy. This is actually great. Almost all my students wanted to join but sadly, it is only the male population who can enter the competition.” He continued. I breathed out the air I was holding. I immediately look at his face and I am too surprised that he doesn’t recognize me. I didn’t expe
Chapter 7: Raven Faustus. “Wahh~ it’s so beautiful. I felt like I was in a dreamland.” I was astonished by the mystical serenity as we walked on the long bridge on our way to the heavenly palace. The entrance of the heavenly realm somehow resembles those magical places which can be found in a fairytale book. The concrete bridge is floating above a group of clouds which has the color of the galaxy. It looks like it transported you in the milky way rather than the realm of heaven. Shooting stars and sparkling bubbles are also found in the area and it made the place too splendid. Upon reaching the gate towards the palace, the entire area also look grandeur. Several posts can be seen at the massive gate which holds the red colored flag of the palace. Intricate carvings are placed on the wall and it is outlined with gold which made it look more sophisticated. A long aisle which is surround
I’m really pissed off. I never met someone like him before. He’s a crazy hybrid. I tried to get away from him but he kept on following me. He is still laughing at my naivety and innocence which makes me truly annoyed. After a few minutes, we finally arrived at the heavenly realm together with the other participants. The palace’s interior looks too surreal. The floor is made of wood and it is painted with an image that matches the magnificence of the place. Poles are also located inside that have ceramic designs and a touch of gold before it touches the floor. The swirls are too dainty and it looks bewitching. A golden statue is placed on the front which exactly matches several of the furniture’s put inside. The ceiling has stupendous chandeliers that also fits the ambiance of the palace. “Greetings to you, our heavenly king,” the
He looked at the eunuch's back until it disappeared. He looked at the list first and then handed it over to someone. I think that person is a trusted senior of the professor. The professor left us to him and went back to what he was doing before we arrived. “Form a straight line of four since the number is too many. There are 30 participants all in all. I will call each of your names and reply to me with the word present, understand? ?” he told us as we formed a straight line like what he just ordered. “Yes!” we all answered in chorus. I glanced at my surroundings and pouted. My savior is also not here. “Shifan Lu,” he started calling our names and everyone alerted theirselves. “Present!” the guy who
I paused from doing my push ups and tilted my head up. I met with his eyes and saw that he was squatting in front of me to match with my height. “No. I won’t fall for your tricks again. Go away!” I said to him while I snicker. He is annoying. He just won’t stop bothering me. “Geez. I’m serious this time. I really want you to be my friend. C'mon, I even asked Senior Zhou for you to be my roommate because I know those guys are different from me,” he replied. He is almost pleading. “Why?” I asked almost immediately. “I don’t know. Maybe some gut feeling.” I stared at him for a minute before I opened my mouth to speak. “Alright. But don’t tric
I was in the middle of unpacking my things when Raven spoke up. “Softie, let’s go to the cafeteria after you’re done unpacking. I’m hungry,” Raven told me. Instead of fixing his stack of clothes, he just lay down on his bed. I shook my head because of this guy. So, this is the feeling of having a male friend? Are they that lazy? Hmp. It’s fine. Since he is my first friend, I will treat him nicely. “Alright!” I smiled. I quickly put my things in the wooden cabinet. After I’m done fixing my own things, I took his bag and started unpacking his things too. He seems not mad about it so I continued and put all his belongings in the drawer. “Eh, nice one softie. You should really treat me well. I’m the only whom you can count on here in Blemore Academy,” he arrogantly said while still lying down on the bed. Both his hands are
After we finished eating, we headed back to our room and shared some stories about our past adventures. We didn’t notice that it is already evening and that the moon is high up in the sky. We don't have any plans on stopping but the drill echoed throughout the area. It is telling us that every student must go to the Hall to gather. As we walked out of the room, I saw other students who just walked out from their slumber. Some even don’t have their clothes on and are topless. I just shrugged my shoulders and saw Raven yawning while walking on his way to the said area. He is probably tired because he roamed around the academy all day while exchanging stories. I can’t deny that he is fun to be with. He is also playful and is throwing several jokes which make me laugh. He also has his serious side too like I am! He will probably make a good friend. I guess we are compatible to become each other
