The Chronicle the Fenix Clan

Shadow of the Black Monster

Zhong Lei rushed to leave the Meihua Village square after his four-eye meeting with Olga Fedorov.

Olga gives him a letter of recommendation that will be shown to Shulam's team who will come to the village for a talent search for young witches in the region.

Indeed Little Lei felt uneasy while in the square. Although his little heart could not lie that he was very excited when he was told that he had little talent as a witch.... But the look of jealousy that was blatantly thrown by many people, made the child want to immediately return home.

******

"Stop...!!" the typical squeaky sounds of children are heard so loud.

At that time he had just walked not too far from the square. Coincidentally this place he passed by was a shortcut in their village that rarely passed by people. He chose that path with the intention of avoiding the questions of many people.

Who would have guessed that he had been in the later-awaited group of brats.

He finds out that the screaming is Mei-mei, the girl who claims to be the head of the little gang.

"I don't have much time.let me go" said little Lei. He tried to evade

With a face made as rare as possible... Meimei said,

"There will be no way before you tell us. What a secret so you have that little power".

"Look at Olga Fedorov to the point of amazement and your recommendation to accept the academy" a jealous tone slid down from Meimei's mouth.

He did not hide his jealousy.

Meanwhile, three of his friends set up crossbar-like positions using two sticks, which looked as if the palace soldiers were guarding the gate strictly which the commoners would pass through.

"True.. tell your secret..Before you were just a weak child who could be bullied. How could it be overnight you were suddenly announced as someone who has special abilities. Tell me your secret is short" Even the quiet He-Ping might ask such a question. They were jealous, that was the only correct answer.

ZhongLei finally gave up his despair. As he explained his ignorance, the four children would never believe...

"Well. During this time it seemed like I was only harboring my special talent as a secret. But all of a sudden the talent overflowed and popped out after that great Shulam named Olga scanned my abilities"

ZhongLei was forced to fabricate as if he did indeed possess a natural talent for magic. He had no idea what made him the center of attention.

Mei-mei's face flushed red in anger, she lashed out at Little Lei...

"You're keeping it a secret from where did you get that power, right?? I'm guessing.it looks like you have that talent after last night you escaped into the Dark Forest..."

"Or don't-don't. You did hide a talisman or trigger the power that was sought by the Military earlier... I came to think that maybe if I reported that you were wandering on the edge of the Dark Forest last night... The military will imprison you, then they will torture you until you give up the thing they are looking for" Mei-mei began to assume.

He was really burned with jealousy to the point that they had to tell a story to suppress Little Lei.

With wide eyes from hearing the story of Mei-mei Lei's essay, little Lei brushed the two sticks away while shouting...

"I don't know what's going on with me. You all move aside" He then pushed Little Feng and the big Feng as hard as possible causing the two children to sink in.

ZhongLei then took a thousand steps, running as fast as possible leaving the group of brats behind...

She faintly heard Mei-mei's screams..

"Kejaaarr. We beat him to a pulp. The child is getting more and more fearless" Mei-mei was furious.

The four of them chased after the little Lei who was only ten meters ahead. Sometimes a stick or a stone or whatever was thrown from behind, and hit the body or head of little Lei. He could only run in search of persimmon and try to dodge.

Over time, those small disturbances felt like a big distraction.

Little Lei felt his head that felt swollen forming a lump. His legs have been sore because several times the hard lash that was thrown Mei-mei scratched his legs and made his calves feel bruised.

Instead of feeling sorry to see him fall down with all his body bruised, the little children intended to hurt him more deeply. They laugh in excitement...

"No...!!"

"Your...!!"

The various chastises of hard objects hit his body.

"Let's confess..!!"

"Basic stingy!!!"

"He only wanted himself to be the only child of this village sent to the academy" the four children as if in the demon race, had now turned violent.

ZhongLei himself had suffered with all of that whirring. His sight became blurred.

The blows made by the four children were really pityless where they forgot that they were just ordinary children. But now they seemed to have turned into little demons.

As he lost consciousness, ZhongLei was seen screaming in a strange sounding voice. The sound was more like a bird screech than a human child...

"Arrrggghhh..."

So loud was the cry of the child, that four children who were partying hit him feel the pain of his ears.

"Buk-buk-buk"

Not quite up there, a giant black shadow appeared from behind ZhongLei and shrouded the place so that the atmosphere turned sinister.

In the red eyes filled with fire, the black figure in the shape of a giant bird once again shrieked with a very loud voice, oppressive and his mouth wide open towards the four children who were still in the down position. The mouth was as if it was going to swallow them.

The four brats were not just silent in shock. They screamed in hysterics but no sound was heard. They were frightened, shivering to the point that their pants got wet from urinating.

Still in a gripping atmosphere, the giant bird-shaped creature flew around four children who were now completely silent in fear.

Tears flowed profusely but there were no more crying sounds coming from their mouths.

Ending the demonstration, the black creature shook its wings, resulting in the weak bodies of four mischievous children being thrown away, falling with the sound of bedemum.

ZhongLei himself had come out of that time of trance, and he had fallen unconscious on that desolate street.

No one saw the incident, until late afternoon, people then found five figures of children who were seen fainting on the streets that people rarely pass.

Then the news circulated that, the lonely road had a waiter who liked to disturb small children. As a result, the road became even quieter in the previous appeal.

Four brats; mei-mei, little Feng, big Feng and He-Ping since the incident never again look brave outside the house.

Even though they had come to their senses from the stupor, it seemed like the four children were traumatized and often had nightmares in the middle of the night. They never told me about what happened to them on that lonely road.

Little Lei a few days later had regained consciousness and recovered from his trauma. He returned to being a little Lei as before, and happily waited for the day when the Shulams would come to the village to choose the children to send to the academy.
