"There were many generals, however a leader must be bred as one from a young age. People don't grow up to be great on their own, they need training, they need pressure, they need to taste the true aning of loss.
I lived through all that, and without that I wouldn't be the girl I'm now. So I dealt with all types of people, even the dirty traitors who can sell even their family and friends. I can understand them very well."
Her eyes carried another look, a look of respect towards . she then explained:
"The elders didn't fully approve of taking the position of leader, so they are causing trouble for ."
I knew these elders were shaless, so I wasn't really surprised by her words.
"Wasn't acquiring a mystic art dallion enough for them to acknowledge you?"
"Sigh, that dallion just barely made them not to refuse , however they didn't change their minds."
"What do they want then?" I asked with so anger, "Do they want to bring that moron back?"
"Not him, however they picked up soone just like him," she replied with so bitterness. I felt her pain, anger, and helplessness. We girls were always easily seduced to the shores of depression.
"Don't worry, you got as a sis. I won't let them hurt you."
She chuckled before hugging and saying:
"Thanks, I hope things won't reach that level yet."
I also hoped the sa thing; however both of us knew that things wouldn't end like this. I sighed, it was tough to be a girl in the world of n.
"Welco to the mystic art competition introductory ceremony. Please follow the guidance of your seniors and don't cause any trouble. Fight is totally forbidden here, so please don't force our hands."
Suddenly the sa voice that I heard below from the assassins ca out clearly like he was standing in front of . However I knew this must be a trick, as there was nothing at all in front of except this big door at the end of these stairs.
We finally arrived, and then the swordsn opened the doors to us to enter the roof. The highest floor of this restaurant was an open area with room like sections arranged along the edge of this roof.
Each section was lined and separated with silk white curtains that were layered on each other to form walls of silk.
The swordsn led us to an empty corner. I glanced at these small rooms and whispered:
"I didn't think these small rooms would fit all of us."
"Don't worry, I believe they have a magical technique for them," she replied before the swordsn stopped in front of two small sections. They then pointed towards the two rooms silently. These people didn't open their mouths even once from beginning to end.
That was weird.
"May I know where to register our nas?" I suddenly asked one of the swordsn, who looked at in a weird way. Aria pulled my arm in a tense way, while whispering:
"You can't talk to the seniors like that," she then raised her head and said with a smile, "she didn't an anything, she is just new to the ga."
I looked at her strangely, while she winked her eyes to . I knew sothing was odd here; however I trusted her and did nothing. The swordsn didn't say a word as they stood to the side silently waiting for our players to enter the room.
I didn't enter my room with my players, as I stood outside with Aria watching the amazing view from here. I always loved high places, as looking at the world from there made feel like I literally own the whole world.
'Listen, these aren't normal NPCs, they are seniors at the mystic art community. Any disrespect and we won't have a future inside this society.'
Aria sent this privately, which made understand part of her anxiety.
'Then why don't they say a word to us? All I wanted to know was how to register our nas.'
'Silly girl, we already registered. Once we passed the test here, our nas were engraved on the records of this competition,' she replied.
'If that's so, then why are we here? I thought we were going to register our nas, and how did they know our nas?'
Aria chuckled as if she heard a nice joke from . I got used to it, as most of the ti I had nearly no clue about everything. Of Course that was better than my start here.
'We are here just to know the upcoming schedule of the test, get to know each other, and finally try to get the favor of any master here.'
Her last words piqued up my interest. Would my master be here? the sad thing was I didn't know his na, not yet. I looked around however I t only so young players like standing in front of their rooms.
There were no masters at all, except if those swordsn were masters.
'Don't try to look for them, they can hide themselves well.'
Aria sent these while putting her hand over her already opened mouth to prevent her laughter. I raised my eyebrows as I sent to her:
'Is laughing forbidden here too?'
'No, it might just destroy my image here.'
'Oh girl, are they watching our looks too?'
I didn't stop looking around for those supposedly here masters. Aria patted my shoulder as she said:
'Give up, they can see us but we can't see them. rember the voice we heard down there, it was the voice of one master.'
I didn't stop looking as I asked with a little girl curiosity:
'Then how will they assess us?'
'They watch every move we do, and you don't need to attract any master attention, you are lucky enough to have a master of your own.'
Just as I was about to send her my words, I noticed the approaching steps of seven players heading straight towards . I didn't recognize any of them, except for one.
That bitch was there, Leli was walking in the second row of this small entourage. That made wonder, if she walked on the back, then those up front were guilds?
Were they here to cause trouble? Or solve a problem?
I didn't know, however I could live with any answer of the two.
