32 Chapter 32

Fall seven times,

Stand up eight.

Everyone was mesmerized at the light while I stood there seething in pain. My hand is literally on fire and no one is paying attention. Bunch of useless bums. After a while the light stopped and the aching in my hand soon turned to a dull ache. The crystal ball was now full of colors each one moving as though they have a life of their own.

So, apparently that blasted god did not listen to me. And I still ended up being OP. Wuwuwu, that means more work. Crying internally I muster up the courage to remove my hand. I tug and tug until I finally get the strength and yank my hand off, nearly tumbling over in the process if it wasn't for master catching me. Look at me being clumsy, oopsie.

"Melia V.L. Montecristo the first elemental." Everyone stands up to applaud me. Some of their gazes filled with envy and jealousy while others genuinely feel happy for me. What can I say, that's the sect life, full of competition where the heads put you against eachother, Go Friendhsip!

Master dismisses everyone, but motions me to stay back.

"Melia, now that you're true ability is known to the world there will be hidden powers that want to harm you or recruit you. Seeing as you're mentality isn't that of which a child should have, I'm going to be frank with you. If you aren't strong enough you will die."

"I know master, and I already have some plans as well. Also, will you be so kind as to investigate the backgrounds of my maids their is something suuspicious about them."

He knods in understanding.

"Oh right, this is something that old fellow wanted me to give to you. It's a special healing medallion. Said, the spirits woke him up and told him to present it to the chosen one or whatever."

I take the chain hooking it around my neck. Its silver color shines brightky before going dull. Very tasteful.

"This, if that's all that master needs, may this disciple bid goodbye."

"Yes."

I wave goodbye at master and make my way to my next class. Ugh, I am tired already.

That reminds me, in a couple of months will be graduation. Then, it will be time for me to go back home. To see mommy and daddy, most importantly Benjie. I miss them so much. Thinking about my family brings tears to my eyes. I finally have someone that loves me.

Sebastian's place

"Father, I want to be there when my princess consort arrives."

The man sitting on the throne smiles happily at the thought that his son has a little lady friend.

"Now now son, she isn't your consort yet. That unscrupulous father of her's has to agree first and she also. You can't just claim someone as your's, she isn't an object. You have to woo her, therefore be more into her life. Court her. Show her that you are sincere about your feelings. But not now though, you are still young and I want you to focus on you're studies." His mother replies.

Sebastian pouts at their words in frustration but still aknowledge them inside of his heart. He takes his leave, deciding to so some 'studying.'

He makes his way into the library, going straight to the romance psychology section. Browsing for a while, he comes across multiple books that may be of some help. A couple being:

Puppy Love 101,

How to Make Your Partner fall in love with you, and last but not least,

Matters Of The Heart: Things All Women Want Men To Know But Won't Tell.

The sight is comical and a certain god above can't help but bellow in laughter. Chewing loudly on popcorn he somehow ends up chocking, the shiny bald head turning purple from lack of oxygen.

Finally he gets the corn curdle out of his throat and breathes heavily. If Melia was here she would've said:

"Serves him right, damn juicy blue berry thinks the world revolves around him. Someone should take a needle and pop him, just like the balloon he is."

He puts his hand on his man boob and exclaims loudly "Whew, that was a close one, this divine self almost lost his little fatty life."

Sebastian really took this 'assignment' of his seriously. He went back to the seclusion of his room and during the times when he wasn't with his tutor he's usually reading those love books of his. Earnestly studying so that Melia will want to be his wifey.

(Ughhh he is so cute uwu)

Next day

Master came to me early the next morning with a grim expression on his face. Turns out the history of my maids is a bad one.

"They work for the puppet sensei. It's a dark organization who's roots are unknown. But, they are very powerful. Those 2 girls are amateurs if they think that the puppet sensei and his forces are enough to withstand the mighty strength of a cultivation sect." He hands me documents of the two.

"I still don't get it. If this sect is so powerful, how were they able to get in." Seriously! How!?

"We knew who they were in the beginning it is just that sometimes you're master over looks small matters like these. I did not think that they would've been injected with chicken's blood and will want to kill you. As a matter of fact It didn't even come to mind that they would have been able to get this close to you." Damn idiot. If I was taller I would slap you.

"Well then, Master. I hope something like this doesn't happen again, or else my father would be one unhappy dragon." My eyes glow a dark hue. This was totally irresponsible of master.
