Chapter 29's

“Proposition?” Aang Feng's

inquiring.

“I assume you

have at least one Realm, even if you haven't opened it yet,” says

Stormleafs. “I can offer you a way to open Nature whatever you are

have,”

Aang Feng looked at him

with shock. “You can do it?”

Stormleaf smiled

to him, and then grabbed his robe. When his hand appeared again, he held the pill

little black.

Soon, the eyes of two

the other Academy Witches became wide in shock.

“Older Stormleaf—”

the middle-aged woman began to speak, but Stormleaf silenced her with

cues.

“What is it .. Pill KB

Realm?” Aang Feng asked.

That question

it seemed to shock Stormleaf. “You know more about magic

rather than what I expected, Miss Aang,” said. “Although I suppose that's the

expected from a daughter of the Clan Aang.”

“I have heard

about them, although I have never seen it.” Aang Feng's Voice

it trembled slightly as he spoke, and Aev knew that inside, he had to

being panicked.

“Do you know what

That Realm Pills?” Stormleaf asked.

“It's a pill

alchemy that opens Nature, right?” Aang Feng said.

“Not alchemy,” says

Stormleaf, sounds happy at the chance to fix it. “Pil Realm

Opening is completely different from most pills. Actually, they even

can hardly be considered a pill.”

“How can

so?” Aang Feng asked.

“When the witch

starting, their Essence is thin, like steam inside their bodies, the Stormleaf”

explain. “To reach Master level, a mage must condense

His essence until it resembled a liquid. Then, to reach the level

Grandmaster, the mage should further condense his Essence, forming a core that

solid.”

Aang Feng nodded

calmly, and it was obvious that he had been like this. Instead, Aev

listen carefully. Until now, he knew little about

what separates a normal magician from a Master and a Grandmaster.

“Pil Opening Realm,”

Stormleaf continued, “is the condensed Essence core of the Grandmaster.

The only way to obtain it was to defeat the Grandmaster

and take it from his body.” Smiling, he added, “You can

understand why they are valuable. ”

Hears

his words, Aang Feng looked astonished, and Aev could not keep his eyes in order

not widened in shock. He realized that if the Pill Opening Realm

taken from Grandmaster's body, then the pill that Master Joko gave him

representing a dozen dead Grandmasters.

Stormleaf grinned,

it seemed to be satisfied with Aang Feng's shocked expression. “I took this one week

before meeting you. It belonged to the Grandmaster who helped the assassins

the one we're looking for.”

Aev blushes to hear

Stormleaf. For a moment, he was afraid that the man had captured Mr. Joko, who was,

but he quickly threw away the thought. Mr. Joko won't be easy

apprehended. Windballad, on the other hand …

“But how it is

opening Realm?” Aang Feng asked.

His voice shakes, and

Aev knows that he has trouble keeping his cool. Clearly, he also realized

who is the source of this pill.

“When you drink

pills, Essence contained within the core will be released within your body,”

answer Stormleaf. “When it surges throughout your body, it will destroy

the barrier that shuts down your Nature.”

Aang Feng was not

answering, and Aev could see him staring at the pill in Stormleaf's hand, terrified at the

her face.

“Of course, Academy

thinking of it as a forbidden magic,” Stormleaf continued. “But in

your case, an exception can be made.”

“I'm not possible

accept this,” said Aang Feng. “It's too valuable.”

“Omong empty,” reply

Stormleafs. “I insist.”

“But it's too

many ...” Aang Feng looked sad, and Aev understood that he could only remain

quieter. Even that, he thought, was an impressive feat.

Face Stormleaf

harden on that rejection. “I offer you a way out of your troubles, and

“Not that I don't

want it,” Aang Feng said. “But .. How can I repay a debt

like that?”

His face shows

a clear trace of panic now. Aev knew that he was desperately trying

found a way to get out of the situation, but he saw no way

exiting.

“Which I asked for

only you remember the kindness I showed you,” said

Stormleafs. There was a cheerful smile on his face. “Now please, accept this gift.”

Aang Feng took it

black pill with trembling hands. Even now, Aev can see that he

frantically looking for a way out of the situation.

“Do I swallow it

just?” he asked .

Stormleaf nodded.

“You will feel pain when the pill does its job, but in some

clock, you will open your Realm.”

Aang Feng's Eyes

filled with fear, but he took the pill in his mouth.

“Transmitted,” says

Stormleafs. Now, all the goodness had disappeared from his voice.

Aang Feng closed his eyes, though,

then do what the man says.

For some time, though,

they sat still, waiting for the effects of the pills to enter. Aev sees that Stormleaf looks

calm down, almost bored.

Meanwhile, Aang Feng

looks frightened, and Aev knows that it is not fear of pain ahead

which scared him.

Within a few hours

ahead, their lives will be determined. If Mr. Joko's seal has been placed on

The Wind Realm Aang Feng was holding, the Stormleaf would definitely realize there was something

is wrong. If that happened, both Aang Feng and Aev would have a little

hope to escape.

Finally, Aang Feng

start groaning. The voice was soft at first, but it quickly grew

harder, and his body began to be claustrophobic with the effects of the Realm Opening Pill.

It didn't take long

before Aev saw his eyes become unreasonable. He understands that

now, his mind had been overwhelmed by pain.

The Aang Feng

losing consciousness, one of the Academy's magicians spoke.

“Older Stormleaf!”

The voice belonged to a middle-aged woman. “How can you give the girl a Pill

KB Realm ?!”

“Are you

questioning my judgment, Junior Chen?” Stormleaf asked in a voice

chilly.

“Of course not,”

said the woman hurriedly, and a hint of fear was visible on her face. “But

why did you give the girl a treasure?”

“Academy has been a long time

trying to increase his influence in the Aang Clan,” Stormleaf said. “It's finally

will give us the opportunity to do it.”

“Do we have to

relying on the gratitude of some spoiled child?” the woman asked.

His voice was calm, but it was clear that he did not think too much about his plan.

Stormleaf grinned.

“You think I'll count on gratitude?” he said . “That girl

just took the forbidden Realm Opening Pill. When he wakes up, we

will be within our rights to hold it.”

“How is that

help our destination?” The woman furrowed her brows in confusion.

“We will throw out

the waiter, takes the girl back to the Academy, and offers her the option to

receive our help or be punished for his crimes.”

Suddenly, Aev

I realized why they were talking so freely in front of him. For them he

little more than insects, it poses no threat at all. Even if

he ran, he doubted he would make it more than ten steps. And

now, they plan to kill him.

“What if he

refuse?” the woman asked.

“Not going,” says

Stormleafs. “With our help, he can rise to power within the Aang Clan

– he can have everything he wants, or he can die his choice

is simple.”

Understanding the conscious face

the woman, and she nodded.

“Now, we

should—” Suddenly, Stormleaf stopped talking, and her head turned sharply to

Aevs.

Aev felt

an avalanche of pain passed through him as raw Essence flooded his body. Him

had just taken all but two of the Master-granted Realm Opening Pills

Joko.
