When the jar of jam containing the pea seeds broke, it sounded so crisp in the ears of the students who were practicing combat.
"Prang !"
Quentin's funny face turned red. The boy was embarrassed, not the peas in the broken bottle, but the bottle itself which broke into pieces. Quentin turned red when he heard the sound of laughter being held back from the group of children wearing red Nomrogh robes.
"Flame, not necessarily you will be able to squeeze the pea seeds" with a soft grumbling voice he looked at Artyom and his comrades who seemed to be unceasingly laughing at his ability out loud.
"Shut up ! Let the supportive group children concentrate on this soul-separating technique" Arogoroth snapped towards the group of red robes. His eyes glared as if they were coming out of their sockets. Continue in anger...
"There will come a time when you will become the next laughingstock !" the eyes of Aragoroth snatched to Artyom like an eagle snatching a chick in the yard.
The red-robed group then kept silent, and the Supporting Shulam children continued their Soul Compounding Training.
"Shelf !" sound of cracked objects. And all eyes were directed to the jam bottle that Hani Wang's magic test was subjected to. The cracking sound was heard differently, not similar to the sound when the jam bottle broke due to the magic of Quentin.
"Nearly perfect" sizzled the yellow-robed children.
"She managed to break down the peas, although the jam bottle also had small cracks"
"this is a good start for a soul-seeker. I'm sure, the nerd named Hani Wang will be a witch taken by the royal side later"
Meanwhile Artyom and his group of red-robed children are now silent. They knew, even though they were candidates for great magicians who were experts in controlling fire, but in the Military later, a magician with the best soul-seating skills would be chosen to be an elite army.
"She just happened to get lucky while doing the soul squeezing technique earlier" Artyom whispered to his friends. Such a big jealous tone he could not hide.
The middle of the red-robed group discussing and deteriorating the abilities of the blue-robed children, suddenly a voice interrupted the pleasure of the fire-control group, saying,
"Sad.. You guys are just jealous. You make people worse when you feel yourself a loser than that person"
A look of disgust directed by the Grey Girl towards Artyom and his comrades. Artyom clearly felt bad with the ugliness of others stripped away, like being naked with the gray girl.
If only he had not remembered the curse often cast from the lips of the spellcaster and the weaver, it would have felt like Artyom slapped and grabbed the girl's hair.
But Artyom was still thinking clearly. Not a few stories circulating that testify, that the gray girl is a weaver. His curses often came true, when he threw a swearing oath at the students of the academy who bullied him.
Artyom then took the act of being disgusted to the gray girl. He said out loud, though,
"you are just a minority, a minor character among the many magicians.
You don't deserve to talk, what's more judging us this main character" arrogantly Artyom spat on the ground, making an act of demeaning the gray girl.
Still in a sinister-sounding tone, the gray girl replied,
"I pray to all the saints in the world. Later, when you become a soldier, and you are given the task of fighting or completing a mission, hopefully at that time there is no spellcaster or light.
And I pray because of pride that you think we are a minor group that is not important, at that time you go to war without the guidance of this minor astrologer, who explains the bad weather will happen...
So when you board the spirit ship, natural disasters and calamities will occur and befall your spirit ship!" hard words spoken gray girl, making Artyom want to cry.
Moreover, at that time the thunderous voice sounded thunderous, as if agreeing with the vow that the gray girl had uttered, making the other red-robed children scream in fear.
"Mount ! The girl started to poke !" scream one of the girls.
They then fled Artyom, on the grounds, afraid to follow the plagues due to the curse of the gray girl.
Zhonglei silently noticed that, then he said slowly to the gray girl,
"Miss... Isn't what you said too horrible?" her eyes were directed deeply to the two gray girl's eyes.
"Hide... They are children who read too many horror stories, so they consider my words to be an oath that an expert does.
If only I had been so great as everyone expected, what would I have to study for, train so hard in this academy?
Wouldn't I have a lot of money if I opened a traveling practice, serving the nobility, sukur sukur the palace would hire me with all my fortune telling skills? Instead of being like that, look at me now. Being cooped up in the academy and starting to train from scratch"
Zhonglei then regained his senses,
"really so. He was no more a student like us. It's likely that the other kids exaggerated the story of the gray girl's fortune telling"
Feeling that the girl was in fact a good girl, Zhonglei then mentioned her name, inviting the gray girl to get acquainted.
"I'm Zhonglei. I just joined this Academy of the City of Semaram.
I positively scanned the result stating that I was a supportive magician" Zhonglei reached out his hand and shook the hand of the gray girl.
The boy welcomed Zhonglei's hand, he replied,
"My name is Gladys Wu. My magic skills, well you know for yourself, don't you?" gladys face looked sweet as he put on a smile. Not a moment when he was just being quiet.
"Gladys Wu, why don't you just join us from the Blue Cloak?
Doesn't it feel bad to always go everywhere alone?" bargain Zhonglei.
"Well if that's the case. I will gather with you blue-robed witches" Gladys cheerfully replied.
Meanwhile the other children looked astonished when they saw Zhonglei easily getting along with Gladys. It was not that all this time they had never offered the gray girl to join their group.
"Thank you ! I would still be more comfortable moving alone as I am now" Gladys replied, whenever the children of the blue-cloak witch offered to join their group.
"It looks like the girl is interested in you" Quentin sighed to Zhonglei. Saoshan follows Zhonglei, while Hani Wang looks unconcerned. Hani Wang as usual is more interested in lessons than trivial things like other children fuss about.
"Saosheng and Zhonglei. It's your turn now !" quentin yells out Zhonglei daydreams.
"Coach Aragoroth is getting angry because you didn't rush forward to squeeze those peas" quentin sighed, who violently pushed Zhonglei forward.
Aragoroth looked Zhonglei in the eye deeply, he said.
"Although you are still new, you should still practice the soul squeezing technique.
Follow my instructions, and then you try squeezing a peanut in that jam bottle from a distance"
Aragoroth then read out the theory to fight using the technique of soul squeezing, which Zhonglei remembered in one pronunciation.
"Crack !"
Zhonglei stared pushyly, as the jar of jam in the distance did not sway in the slightest. Especially to hope that the beans in the bottle will break. Dream !
"Not to be afraid and insecure, repeat again" cried Aragoroth.
Zhonglei repeated the practice of soul-squeezing according to Aragoroth's theory. But he again had to resist embarrassment, when he saw nothing happened with a jar of peanut-filled jam in front of him.
