What was that? Plat-plat-plat~
It sounded like paper, hitting itself against the bedroom door on the other side. Another monster? The duo felt their chests tighten into balls, as they now slowly approached the door. Breathe in, breathe out…
Breathe in, breathe out…
They moved on tip-toes, their chests already knotting into balls the closer they went. Suddenly, a warm gust of wind swept the space, making the papers on the small dining table to rustle and dance. But before they could react, 2 envelopes slipped out from underneath the door, and began floating higher and higher towards them. First, the envelopes twitched and moved closer, as if to get a whiff of their scent. They twirled and pun m, becoming a sense of wonder and magic that was foreign to the mundane world the duo knew. And then—
Whoosh! The letters distancing themselves before shooting like darts, and suddenly coming to a halt, floating mid-air in a trance-like state.
Now seemingly controlled by their hearts, the duo carefully reached for the letters that had their nas on them. [Mr. Arbutus B. Kletus, The Dining Room, Larkshire Military Stronghold, Vardos.]
It gave his exact location. Was he not standing in the dining room within the competition's grounds, here in Vardos Country? Khalea's letter said the sa thing. "It must… it must be from the Grandmaster." "Yes, I… I think so too."
So why the heavy pause when opening the letter? The duo looked at each other tactfully, never being so nervous in their lives. They have both had their share of examinations and competitions in the past, but never have they been so anxious like today. Gulp~
Khalea swallowed hard when thinking of how 'poorly' she perford in the examination 9 days ago. However, despite the butterflies dancing in her belly, she knew there was no benefit to stalking the matter any further. The envelope was cream-colored, bearing a vibrant red wax seal on its folded tip. Rip!!! Khalea pried the envelope open, and took out its contents, only to see an empty piece of paper staring her in the face. What's going on? (?~?)
"Ahhh!!!" Kletus' yell startled her. And before she could make heads or tails of what fascinated him, she too found herself exclaiming loudly, after seeing several words now appearing on her Letter. …. [The Heavenly Tian Academy for Exorcism
Sect Master: Dorian T. Tian (Grand Exorcist)
Dear Mrs./Miss Khalea. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Heavenly Tian Academy for Exorcism. Please find enclosed in this letter, a list of all necessary items you are permitted to bring. The School term begins on xxxx. Please follow the enchanted map, to find your closest entryway into the Academy.]
….
10 minutes later, the duo had finished going through the letter. But what they found was that they couldn't see each other's letters, no matter how hard they tried. How to say it? The letter looked ordinary to anyone who the letter wasn't intended for. Again, only those accepted by the academy, or those already belonging to the academy, can see these letters fly about. So if soone fails the test, they won't be able to see anything. The duo felt that if the Grandmaster was allowing these letters to fly about, it ans that he could also guarantee that no monsters would be able to see them too. Well, in truth, they were right, as the system's Master had ensured that not even the Princes in the underworld would be able to detect anything suspicious. However, what many didn't know was that Dorian truly didn't care whether these monsters discovered his existence or not. The people who truly bothered were Old Gia, Wiggins, and the rest of humanity who wanted to keep things hidden, like having an Ace up their sleeves. "The Heavenly Tian Academy… Heavenly… What is heaven… what does this heavenly part an?" As people who used to solely believe in Science, they didn't have the concept of heaven, hell or even the afterlife. They were like empty books waiting to be filled by their owner. "Dad, we will eventually co to know. But for now, is that the important point?" Hahahhahahaha~
Khalea was so happy she was bouncing from palace to place like a little school girl. She passed! She did it! She did it! Then doesn't this an that in no ti, she too will be flying around, doing cool stunts while saving humanity too? Ahhhhhhhh!~
