Mrs.Lee takes us into a white room. Ahh this brings back memories. Situated in the middle of it is a crystal ball. Almost immediately you can feel the dense elemental aura surrounding it, quite shocking.
The floor is made from white jade. Its so clear that you can see your own face in it. The walls have marble pillars in each corner. The sight giving off a majestic feel.
From the side door, I see my master come out. Wonder why he's here?
Master is wearing a dark hooded robe with a pendant dangling off of his neck, looking like some sort of cult leader. And that's not weird at all.
Turns out, that master is going to be leading the ceremony where we're going to find out our innate talents. I am super excited.
The hall is densely packed. Children from each Class 1 are also getting their innate talents tested. Silly me thought it was only my class.
Their are candles lit on the table giving the room an ancient glow. Just being able to experience this reminds me of my days as an online novel reader, desperately wishing for me to somehow end up transmigirating into one my my favorite cultivation novels just like the MC. And now my dream has finally come true. Really makes one nostalgic.
Child by child we each go up. Some with happy expressions and some solemn. When it's Clairvoye's turn to get tested I make sure to sit up straight and tall, waiting for the results.
The crystal ball glowed very bright just like Clairvoye's expression,
And then...... it went dull. A pale blue emerged and covered the crystal ball. Hahaha she only has one element. Serves her right for thinking she's better than me.
I know what you're thinking. Melia is such a bitch. And yes, thats true. But I have a reason for it. Clairvoye is the one who had a problem with me first. She just can't stand when someone is better than her.
Must be an insecurity of hers. And to be honest, it is not like I haven't tried to be on friendly terms with her but that little girl is the devil incarnate. She may be kind on the outside to others but when it comes to me she lets that white lotus façade drop and shows her true colors. In my opinion she's like a zombie, extremely ugly and fowl smelling. Trying to gourge on my tender meat until I'm nothing but a pile of skin and bones. Wanting to eat my tofu and get away with it, I think the fuck not!
Having one element is not unheard of in the cultivation world, in fact it is actually very common, but in Clairvoye's case since she comes from noble descent it is very humiliating. Plus she has the water element that's said to be the weakest of all. In my books no, but since it hasn't been researched and developed enough in this plane of existence it is still in its early stages.
Usually a noble has two to three elements. In rare cases four.
At least in her clan she is the legitimate daughter, *eye roll* sadly she still has concubine siblings. Makes a person feel sympathy for her.
But not me, Ha! Bitch you thought.
"Clairvoye Volming, innate talent, water." Master says, you can hear the slight gloating in his voice. See, I'm not the only one who hates that pompous green tea bitch.
"THAT'S IT!" She shrieks. The poor girl burst out into tears, continuously saying that it has to be a mistake. Someone forgot about their public image, inserts evil laugh.
I want to laugh aloud but I know that it wouldn't be appropriate so I cool down my demeanour. Holding an aloof facial expression. Just like the queen I was born to be.
After a couple minutes they manage to get Clairvoye away from the crystal ball. Her face is full of tears while snot drains down her nose. Yeesh, someone's an ugly crier.
As the teacher carries her off to the nurse I can feel her glaring eyes on me. Yes stay jealous, that ugly little demon inside isn't getting you nowhere, cuz imma still be perfect and you gonna still be hating.
As Taylor Swift once said, haters gonna hate.
After about 5 more people it was finally my turn. Because, like all cultivation novels the main character always goes last. Obviously, to steal the show and gain all of the attention.
"Next is Melia V. L. Montecristo." I roll my eyes at master's antics. Did he have to say my full name, no. Did he want to show off that the Emperor is my father and I'm his direct disciple, yes.
I walk towards the crystal ball. Waves of excitement flooding my body. The hall is quiet as everyone stares in anticipation at what my elements are going to be. Clairvoye the schools princess was already a big disaster and now for the Aloof Big Sister Queen, oof, the suspense is killing them.
I put my hands on the ball, master on the sidelines winks to give me encouragement. He only knows that my innate talent is going to be something astronomical, because of the time when he first met me, and he did a test to see how blessed I am by the gods. Needless to say when he sees how powerful I am, his expression will be one of uncontrolled admiration.
The ball starts to heat up. My palm burning at the sensation. I try to move my hand but it is as though its glued down. The crystal ball then shakes. The whole room tremoring because of it, A myriad of colors flashing inside the ball.
Red, blue, grey, dark blue, silver, black and then BAM! A rainbow light flashes from out of the crystal ball.
The room resonates with ooo's and ah's.
