Chapter 39: Ultimate Supreme Elder Witch 2

She approached the goose with the golden eggs, which seemed exhausted from laughing and laying eggs.

But when the goose observed Sophie, she stopped blinking and sat down, still as a statue, and analyzed her inch by inch.

For a moment, Sophie felt a disturbing chill through her body, as if a stranger had penetrated her soul.

Then he looked at the bird's warm and wise eyes.

Surely he saw that she was different from the rest.

"Yes, you are certainly different".

Sophie looked at the goose and gave her a tender smile as she sat cross-legged in front of a beautiful animal.

"Can you hear my thoughts?"

"Your thoughts are very clear"—the goose replied.

"And can you hear those of others?"

"No, only yours."

"Because I'm good?" — Sophie smiled.

"I can give you what you want"—said the goose—"I can make them see that you are a princess, a perfect egg, and they will put you with your prince."

Sophie gives her a bright smile.

"Please! I know that what everyone wants is freedom, just help me and I promise you that freedom."

The bird opened his eyes in surprise, and then smiled.

"Close your eyes and make a wish."

Filled with expectant emotion, Sophie closed her eyes.

He smiled as he formulated his wish clearly in his heart.

He remembered that Rafal noticed Sophie after this class.

If I only imitated it, I would be on the right track.

But I wouldn't love her for how she was, but for something she wasn't.

So I would try to do something original.

He heard exclamations around him.

Sophie opened her eyes and saw the goose's golden feathers turn gray.

His eyes darkened and turned black.

His warm smile faded. And he didn't lay any eggs.

Sophie sighs disappointed.

— What happened? —Sophie asked to confirm.

Castor looked at her, scared to death.

— It means that he prefers to give up his power rather than help you.

Suddenly a cluster of shadows swirled over the goose and its feathers began to be dyed black.

Sophie showed a resplendent smile.

It seemed that his wish was going to be fulfilled after all.

The other students viewed this with even more fear than before.

Once again the bird was before them, obviously magical but this time instead of being a white Goose it was a black as night, and it was not a simple goose.

It had changed.

It was a black swan.

The symbol of the school of evil.

The symbol of evil itself.

With a loud squawk, he dropped an egg of almost his own size.

Then they saw how their own wings wrapped and transformed.

Before them stood an incredibly beautiful girl with night-black hair and blue crystal eyes.

His skin was white and pink, obviously at the time he had been an aspiring princess, now he stood with black wings on his back.

Sophie got up, and the girl knelt before her.

— My queen—he declared.

Above Sophie's head exploded a "1" among red flames, like a devilish crown.

— It's the most evil thing I've ever seen—Castor said quietly.

Sophie watched as her classmates walked away from her like frightened fish…all except Hester, who, with twinkling eyes, looked at her as if she had found her rival.

Behind her, Beezle began to tremble in the far corner.

—Senior Witch! —he squealed.

— Thanks for noting! —Sophie sings happily.

Beezle nodded with all certainty.

— Supreme Major Witch Maximum!

Sophie turned round to look at the ex-goose.

— Follow me the rest of the day—I proclaim, and the girl nodded.

He separated behind her like a perfectly educated servant.

Aric, Japeth and Adam gave her 3 thumbs up and when Sophie came over she gave them a high-five.

From the bell tower, squawk echoed in the moat, to the towering silver tower that separated the two sides of the bay.

A silhouette appeared in the window and observed his domains.

Dozens of numbers of smoking grades (brightly colored from the School of Good, dark and gloomy from the School of Evil) floated from the two schools above the waters and ascended to their window like balloons in the wind.

As each issue passed, his fingers brushed the smoke, giving him the power to see who the author of the rating was and how he had earned it.

He went through dozens of numbers until he got to the one he was looking for: a "1" of red flames that revealed his story in an avalanche of images.

A goose from the golden eggs gave up her power of good and turned into a black swan for a female student?

Only one could have such talent.

Only one could be so pure.

The one that would tip the balance.

With a chill, the Director returned to his tower and waited for his arrival.
