Chapter 52: Upside Down

All the participants stood before the old lady, waiting to see what was going to happen. For quite some time, there was complete silence. No one spoke anything.

It was as if everyone was waiting for the old lady to open her eyes which she didn't do. 

For ten minutes, this continued. Fortunately, the old lady did open her eyes, slowly revealing her deep black eyes. 

"It's time. Make a line."

Even though the woman only spoke in a low voice, there was something strange about her voice. It was as if there was some kind of charm in her voice that created an impulse in the heart of whoever heard her to follow her commands. 

Fortunately, this thing didn't affect Gabriel. His Grimoire connection protected him. 

Every youngster made a line. Even though the words didn't affect Gabriel, he still followed the instructions to get in the line, being in the middle of the line this time. 

The old lady gazed at the youngsters as they all got in a line.
