17- First Mission 1!

After expelling Ze Deshi master came in class as for Masha and others they were already returned to their seat long ago. Everyone was busy discussing Ze Deshi so they didn't notice their absence.

Master came in class and asked everyone to practice but as always putting fuel in fire Masha asked in a loud voice; master! What about Ze Deshi, why didn't he return with you?

Everyone's focus got locked on the master waiting for an answer.

He replied in an angry voice; something happened in his family. So, he has to return for backup!

At this answer, nobody can ask further. So, they went busy in their works but hearing this lame answer Masha got angry. (he didn't even tell others about his stealing purpose. He is such a lame person, covered in clothes of justice and rightness but holding such darkness inside. How can anyone be able to learn from such a person, how are we be able to purify our spiritual energies when our master's energy isn't pure at all!!)

Her expressions were changing from one to another. Zhiyuan and Wuji were also noticing it but didn't ask because they clearly know the answer. And they didn't comment on this either because they two were also from an important clan, going to be leaders and they know that these high profile cases can't be exposed to the public. So, they didn't ask her anything nor did they say anything to her.

They were starting to understand her moods so they know that she will be sober soon as she can't keep anything serious in her mind. She is a free-spirited girl who doesn't want to be bothered by others' matters. And as they expected the next morning she was alright. There was no feeling that she was so much angry yesterday and they didn't point out Ze Deshi matter also.

In the morning in the dining hall, when they saw Ze Deshi's chair empty, they also feel something missing in their hearts despite the fact that he was here for a purpose. On the other hand, Ze Deshi was on the way to his home, resting on his way for breakfast and during eating his breakfast, he also felt the same way as they do. He was feeling guilty but the most important person for him was not them but his father. At the thought of his father, he just ignores the emptiness in his heart and continued his journey to his home in disappointment.

After eating they head toward the practicing hall and after reaching there they heard the announcement of their first mission to test their abilities. Masha got really excited that she finally had a chance to show her abilities.

The announcement was; today we are heading to a village, people of the village complaint about some monsters who are torturing them and kidnapping their family members and not returning them. They didn't even find their dead bodies yet. So, we don't know if they are still alive or already dead. You should be careful; we didn't run a full investigation yet. As this is our first time teaching students, so we decided to let you go instead. We want to test your limits, so we can train you according to your abilities. We will be heading at 11'O be prepared.

They were all excited. Everyone was envious of Masha on this matter because they had only two elemental masters left and they two were already in Masha's team. And by seeing her beauty, they didn't expect her to be a good fighter. All the people think that the beauty and courage of fighting can't be at the same place. But there were also two other beauties present but nobody was taking notice of them as they had one master who is already left. But they weren't doubting their skills because they already had some achievement in their career and was already very famous. But on the other hand, Masha doesn't have any achievements or maybe nobody saw her skills yet.

As Masha has already won her name as a Trouble Maker, so everyone was expecting her to create trouble for Zhiyuan and Wuji during the fight but the fighting is yet to be coming. But Zhiyuan was happy on having his fight alongside her and Wuji who never accepted any assistance in his previous fights now had two partners. And he never had any practice with them in fighting because Masha didn't attend any classes from the start due to her punishment so, he had no idea about her fighting skills but he was still calm and confident.

They all got ready with their weapons, they didn't have their spiritual weapons yet. But they had their own weapons which are they going to use. If they will be unable to find their spiritual weapons because it is very difficult for non-elemental members to got one weapon, they have to use this for life. Their weapons, which they currently had are not common, they are somehow adapted to their energies and can assist them well in fighting. But Masha had non, everyone was amazed at her courage to go on fighting without carrying a weapon even for her own safety. And at this courage of her, everyone was sure that she is going to create another trouble.

They were on their way to that village. Many students were making strategies to catch the monster and also they were planning on keeping themselves safe from Masha.

You saw; she isn't carrying her sword. Yeah, she is going to create trouble. We should keep our distance from her during fighting otherwise she will be a burden to us.

They were walking closely, so everyone can hear them, even Masha was hearing them. Zhiyuan was getting angry at their words against Masha but when he looked at Masha she was calm and wasn't minding them. After seeing her not getting angry, he also took a calm breath. He wasn't scared of any monster but still had a little fear in his heart and he wasn't sure about it either. But whenever he looked at Masha, he felt a scary wave-piercing in his heart, somehow the same which he felt when Masha was unconscious before.

After the journey of 2 hours, they finally reached that village. Even the village name was "Scarlet Village" because the village was famous for its red blooming flowers which was also the economic source of that village.

At the entrance of the village, someone came to pick them. And after seeing so many members, he got happy and amazed, that they came into a huge group just to capture that monster in less time. After thinking like this he felt relieved because they were in turmoil from last month and it was a relieving moment to receive such a big help.

He bowed down to them in gratitude. Then he went to their leader, master didn't come with them but a disciple of master came. That man introduced himself as village chief. He was wearing neat clothes just like a villager, have wrinkles on his face. He looked old and have a calming temperament, had all hairs tied up. He was presenting a refined image as a villager. His clothes were dark in color because they all usually do farming in the village for money.

He told them a little about the monster on their way to the guest hut. Those cabins were neat and clean good for rest and had good scenery outside. As it wasn't a progressed village so, they had limited resources and had not had many huts for guests. So, they adjusted in groups. In one cottage there were two or three groups that were staying.

Since Wuji was from Heavenly Pavilion, he stayed with the chief and head disciple. And since he was here Masha and Zhiyuan were also with him. But Su Jingmei and Song Yirong also insisted on staying with them. Masha was on bad terms with them so she refused to let them stay and Zhiyuan also knows their conspiracy against Masha so, he didn't like them either and made the excuse that if they stay here there will be a crowd in the room. And Wuji didn't say yes nor did he refuse because he rarely talks to anyone.

They two were on good terms with Master so they coaxed the head Disciple a little and he agreed to them.

Masha was in a bad mood after the head disciple let them stay. She made an excuse that; it's stuffy here, she is going out for a walk and as always Zhiyuan followed her but Wuji left inside with them. It was clear on his face that he wanted to join them but can't go as he was going to discuss the strategy with the chief and their leader.

Su Jingmei and Song Yirong didn't notice his expressions. They were in high spirits after making Masha out. As Su Jingmei had a crush on Wuji, she was happy to be with him but Song Yirong was a little disappointed because her crush was following Masha outside. But they were determined to make Masha leave this time.

Actually, there was one more thing in the announcement that; seventy people are going but only people with some achievement can return, only fifty students can make a comeback the rest can leave straight from there who had a bad performance. It was like an entry test for them. And Head disciple was actually there to record their performance.

They were determined to make Masha lose because they also thought that Masha can't fight and only made trouble for others. And after that, they will become Zhiyuan and Wuji's team partners and slowly they can make progress in their romantic relationships.
