Chapter 139 - 132

"Esteemed human, what do you need from this lowly guardian of this forest?" The Tree Spirit had a principle that if it couldn't defeat a being then it would need to run away or admit defeat itself.

The silver haired young man who was constructing a polite speech to ask guidance from this Tree Spirit was surprised to the attitude of this being to her.

'What did she do?'

Chun smiled in respond as she stated, "If I may ask the Elder to give me a clue to the puzzle of this forest's mechanics?"

The Tree Spirit was preparing to open up a backdoor for this person but was stunned silly due to the polite remark of the human. 'He only needed a clue?'

"I can give you the whole---"

"No. I don't need that, I only need a clue and I will figure it out from there."

The other who was suddenly cut off from its statement was momentarily lost but the Tree Spirit regained its calm and surrendered to the silver haired young man's request.

Getting what she wanted, Chun bid farewell to the Tree Spirit and went her way.

The Tree Spirit who was left there couldn't help but sigh as it didn't know how was a higher being's way of thinking had been working. 

It just shook its head and wished good luck for the Principal of the Charm Excellence to take care of that silver haired young man.

--------

After the silver haired young man dealt with the Tree Spirit which surprised her as she was ready to go for in a battle if the other wouldn't be brought with her request but still this result was good as she won't waste time.

Chun didn't go first to figure out the clue that was given to her as she started to do her side mission. 

The snobbish said that the duration of the side mission was after she entered the Charm Excellence .

The silver haired young man thought that she would be collecting flowers like finding a rare or near extinct flower in this place but she didn't expect to be not a plant. Xuan said 'collecting flowers' which meant that she would be conquering some ladies.

In knowing this scum side mission, the silver haired young man was lost and didn't know what did she committed in her last life to go through this thing. Although she was a male in this world and the ninth prince, but she was still female in soul! 

Helpless, Chun decided to do it and be done with it. Conquering meant that it wasn't about getting these ladies fall for her character but she just needed to build up their sense of goodwill to in order to obtain those 'flowers'.

As the mission would begin once she entered the school, then she must gauge first the characters of the said targets.

Chun pulled a card that was blank in normal person's point view but once the silver haired young man flicked it, five names were listed out on the blank card.

It displayed their name, title, current location, hobbies and their designated flowers. And after that, there wasn't any flashy about it. Fortunately, those five ladies were participating in the Charm Excellence and they were within reach.

One problem of the silver haired young man was she couldn't freely chose who to conquer as the card that was given by the snobbish system, only displayed the names of the other four and their flowers as it indicated for Chun to move first to the one who had an unlock information.

The first woman that she needed to conquer was the second daughter of the Left Advisor of the Supreme Ruler. She was Amper Morai, a lady with an ice-cold temperament that was ruthless and power-hunger in the inside. She wasn't good to mess with as she treated her enemies terribly and her allies cordially.

She wasn't easy to get along with and even making friends with her was more like the test that the silver haired young man was doing was easy to pass than her. 

Chun had no picture of the person but as a keen-observer, the silver haired young man deduced that the other would be surrounded by a small number of people that would be acting as her subordinates. As this was her first person of conquest then seeing her in personal would be an advantage to the silver haired young man.

Knowing the person was her priority 

The snobbish system who was up at the branch of a tree was silently looking at his host deliberate planning on doing her task. In fact, Xuan was already bored with his job as being as a observer and being a system which he already had retired with.

He saw that the silver haired young man finished her pondering as she sauntered to a specific destination.

Sighing, Xuan followed suit as it was better to ensure the safety of the host and monitoring her actions as he could report it to the Head Seats after this.

On the other side by the far east of the silver haired young man's position.

A four-person group walked unhinged with the environment yet their watchful and careful movements was up to any dangers.

The person infront who was emitting a deep-layered eyes was the leader of the group. She had a aubergine waist-length hair tied in a ponytail, a pair of phoenix eyes with a red mark formed into a petaled flowed by the corner of her left eye, high-bridged small nose, a pink blossoming lips and her cold aura matched all over the beauty of a divine being that couldn't be touch but could only be look upon.

Amper Morai was the second miss of the Morai Household and as the Left Advisor only have two daughters, Amper was the youngest. She was then trained together with her older sister to be the next head of the Morai Household. 

Yet how many challenge that she participated to compete to her older sister ended her up in defeat which slowly brew a deep resentment towards the brilliant older sister.

The second miss of the Morai Household only dream was to be the head of their household as she wanted to prove that she could surpass her older sister who was innately talented since young. 

And the only thing that she need was power. She decided to study in Charm Excellence due to connections. Before she would head to a battle, she must come prepared.

A feeling of being always the shadow of a genius older sister was at first, Amper didn't care about it. Even being always compared to the other, still she didn't care about it but once she met that prince which made her monotone life to be painted with colors, the only thing she wanted was power in order to be in the same standing with that person.

Although, her older sister was her blood-related 

The second miss was deeply immersed in her trained of thoughts that she was only awaken by a brown haired woman who was her companion as well.

"Amper, look at this. There some strange claw markings!" Daia was daughter from a noble family and she was known for her playfulness and haughtiness yet when infront of this cold faced second miss, she would behave accordingly.

Hearing Daia's statement. Amper gracefully walked to where her companions. Immediately, she saw a clawed bark of a tree which brought her to look at it intently. From the looks of the claw marks, it was done by a beast with three sharpened claws. 

Just from a small markings, the second miss couldn't identify what kind of beast it was but she could only be sure to be vigilant around.

She started to go back to their walk. It might due to luck or extreme as there four-person group was one of the lucky Charmers that wasn't able to step in a 'landmine' that would trigger a switch encounter and brought them back to the entrance of the forest.

Though they were still in alert.

Amidst to their careful movements and planned actions to take as they ventured deeper the forest. They had no idea that once they had discovered that claw marks, they were made prey by a red eyed beast within the bushes, peering af them as it stealthily followed them. 

The beast was looking for an opportunity to pounce at them.

Some Charmers who was more focused on the deceitful ways of the forest, forgot the haunting beasts that was living inside this confusing place. It would be nice to be sent back to the entrance than to be feasted alive by those savage beasts.

It was already six hours spent of their strolling as they looked for a clue to find the right way Charm Excellence. 

The sun was already setting and the gloomy darkened Baligroot forest became more black which decided Amper to use her jade light to light their surrounding.
