CHAPTER 2: Deal

The heat of the sun hitting her face caused her eyelids to move.

"Is she awake yet?" the old man asked the other old man

The old man rolled his eyes before answering, "Does she look awake with her eyes closed? Common sense please."

"You-!" the other old man was about to get angry but he was stopped by a middle age man holding a hammer in his right hand.

"Stop! If you want to fight, please not here here because the kid is resting." said the middle age man.

Silence reigned all around.

But silence was stop when a beautiful woman spoke, "Look, she's awake!"

Everyone turned to where the child was and saw the lilac eyes that slowly opened.

The child's eyes showed wonder, doubt, and amazement as she turned her eyes around.

Until the girl's eyes stopped at the five people who were now standing in front of her, "Who are you?"

Once again, the five were amazed at the child's calmness in this situation.

"As expected of an assassin from the 21st Century, instead of panicking, zhe became calm and observed her surroundings carefully." the beautiful woman suddenly said while smirking at the girl.

The girl raised her left eyebrow because of what she heard.

They knew it's not her original body?

The girl immediately stood up and picked up the stone from her side as if she was ready to rush when one of the five would attack her.

One of the old men smiled and then spoke, "Chill, we don't intend to hurt you. Instead we want you to trust us because you need us and we need you."

The child smirk.

She needs others?

This is the funniest joke she's ever heard because since she became an assassin she never asked for help from others.

"You can't practice magic because of the seal? We'll help you unlock the seal. What do you think?" offering of the another old man.

The girl sighed and did not answer.

She observed the five one by one.

The second is another old man in his 60s. And unlike the other old man, this man was wearing a white robe and holding a wand in his left hand.

The child's tongue stopped at what the old man said.

"Silence means yes?" replied the beautiful woman while smiling attractively.

The boy's lips twitched before answering, "Tell me first what you need from me before I agree."

The two old men looked at each other before an old man wearing a white robe answered.

"We want to pass on our abilities and talent that we had to you and besides that we have something else we want to ask for but we won't say it yet." answered the man wearing a white robe.

The girl frowned at what she heard.

She knows that nothing is free in this world and she also knows the reason why the old man did not tell her the other things they needed from her.

They want to test what she can do first before saying what they need from her because they might think that she can't do what they need.

"Deal." said the girl and then throw the rock she was holding.

Anyway, it's more important for her to be strong and she'll understand what they need when she is strong enough.

The beautiful woman clapped her hands in joy before speaking, "Then, before everything else, let's introduce ourselves first."

"I didn't have a name in my previous life but they used to call me Poisonous Flower. And in my current life my name is Sazha Mirae Alfendo." the child introduced herself coldly.

The old man wearing a black robe smiled and walked a little towards her before introducing himself, "Darcun, a warrior."

This old man named Darcun looks like he is in 60s. He was wearing a black robe and had a sword on his side.

Next was the old man again wearing a white robe and holding a wand in his left hand, "Dribien, a mage."

Sazha observed the two and only then did she notice that the two of them looked alike and the only difference was that Darcun had brown eyes and Dribien had green eyes.

"We're twins." Darcun said then look angrily at his twin.

Dribien also looked at Darcun and said, "What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a middle age man stepped between the two elders.

The middle age man has brown eyes and brown hair like a typical appearance among the inhabitants of Earth.

"Before they fight again, I'll introduce myself. I'm Mike, a craftsman!" cheerful introduction of middle age man.

Mike was wearing a dirty brown t-shirt and in his right hand he was holding a hammer.

While Sazha was watching Mike, the beautiful woman suddenly came in front of her so fast that she didn't notice her.

"Fufu, I'm Marianne from the Fox Tribe and an Alchemist." introducing a beautiful woman holding a violet fan.

Sazha admires Marianne's beauty.

Marianne has golden eyes and violet hair, along with her white skin and enchanting figure, it's really seductive like a fox but compared to her in her previous life, this Marianne is slightly worse.

While Sazha was admiring Marianne's beauty, she was shocked by a voice she heard.

"Haulus."

She looked up at the tree and realized that there was another person there.

The introducer was a very handsome being and Sazha would admit that this was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

Haulus has beautiful blue eyes and a blond hair but what makes this man even more attractive is his cold temperament like ice.

"He's a summoner." Marianne said.

Sazha nodded and looked away from the man named Haulus.

"So, can you tell me now where I am?" Sazha asked while observing her surroundings.

She is still in the forest but she knows that this forest is different from the forest she saw earlier when she woke up.

This forest she's seeing now is very peaceful, you can only breathe fresh air so it really gives you peace of mind.

Compared to the forest earlier that was full of grumbling magical beasts and full of tall trees that gave danger.

"I forgot to say hehe." Mike said bowing as if he was embarrassed that he forgot to let her know where she was.

Darcun glanced at Mike and scowled, "Idiot." he whispered.

Dribien suddenly looked at his twin because of his insult to Mike and that's why he spoke angrily, "Said of the one who asked if the child was asleep even though he saw her with her eyes closed."

"You-!" Darcun was about to fight with his twin again but Mike intervened again.

Mike sighed as he separated the twins.

"Don't mind them. Anyway, you are now in what is called Spiritual Space and this is the place in your brain where the five of us live." Mike said.

Sazha raised an eyebrow.

The five of them live inside her brain?

Why?

"And then you can also store things here in your spiritual space and compared to the ordinary magical space that can be bought, the spiritual space can store living things, also the aura is also stronger here so it is more suitable to practice, and finally an hour outside is 1 week here in the spiritual space." Mike added.

Sazha's eyes lit up on hearing this.

It looks like this spiritual space is really amazing and she must be very lucky because she have it.

"So now that the introduction is over and you know where you are, shall we start giving you our welcome gift?" Marianne said.

Welcome gift?
