Chapter 151 - 144

Although Feng Cui didn't participate in the crude activity, in the eyes of the second prince, he was truly a disappointment. As they didn't get along, it wasn't his business to meddle with him.

The President continued to monitor but he didn't expect that silver haired young man caught his attention awhile ago due to the strange disappearance, appeared in the same area of the eighth prince. This situation piqued Feng Zi's interest as he wanted to see what will the latter would do.

And unsurprisingly, Chun helped the girl and beat up Feng Cui's lackeys. Though Feng Zi had been disinterested with his younger brother's affair, he still wanted to see the actions of the other. If this proud prince would retaliate or cry over it.

Yet he had never foresee that Feng Cui would acknowledged the former and even wanted to follow the other which was odd the eighth prince as he had never been the one to see attention due to his status.

This was the start of the second prince' curiosity but when he finally saw the silver haired young man as he deliberately met her and her party. He was able to grasp something about why his younger brother would attach himself to this person.

Feng Zi then secretly investigated the silver haured young man's background but after obtaining an information about her, he went silent.

The President cleared his throat as he began to talk.

"Welcome!! First years. I repeat, Congratulations for passing the test but although you had passed it, no sweat. The real hardwork will start once you begin attending our prestigious school!"

His warm and clear voice could invoked comfort and calmness that made the newbies who heard him felt that he was amiable. 

The President's carefree and relax manner made their tense and tight nevrves loosened and even their guard was down a bit.

But despite the welcoming aura and comfortable atmosphere that the second prince emitted, Chun knew that something must be up here.

As she pensively stared at the President, Feng Zi glanced at her and the silver haired young man saw a glimpsed of his curled lips that widened a bit. 

A sense of apprehension rose within Chun.

-------------------

In the middle of the President's announcement, Chun wasn't paying attention a bit as she was discreetly observing the Charmers who just arrived. 

They had spent five days in this space and finally the Council were able to decide. 

The silver haired young man was into her scheme of discovering already the other two targets of conquest. Her hand was already sat atop the mission card on her pocket while she kept her alert high, waiting for a trigger to appear but to no avail, there wasn't any targets anymore.

'Well thank you!' Chun thought with sarcasm as she sighed in comfort. Those three were already difficult and why would she needed two more to appear.

Coincidentally, the silver haired young man felt a familiar penetrating gaze on her which she followed where it came from and spotted the smiling President in front who glanced and smiled at her yet somehow that smile wasn't like his gentle smile, it was like a smile that had a hidden meaning.

Chun sensed something fishy as she didn't let down her guard. Even Amper who had sharp instincts wasn't fooled by the amiable appearance of the second prince as she awaited silently what the Council had prepared. She looked at Daia and the others with a meaningful stare that they immediately perceived.

The silver haired young man was almost scared by a sudden contact of hand on her shoulder but when she found out who was it, she gazed at the eighth prince in question. Leika was also beside Feng Cui as she was dragged by the other without warning.

Although, this two-faced prince who was always surrounded and protected by his followers, as a prince who grown up in the Royal Palace and under the Supreme Ruler. He was well-trained in top condition. That act of not able to survive in the Baligroot Forest awhile ago was just an excuse to latch with the silver haired young man that had taken a liking of.

The princes and princesses who 'grew' up in the Royal Palace after the age of five suffered what to be a official royal family member. Only the ninth prince had not yet met the trainings of a true royal noble in the hands of the Supreme Ruler as he was sent to the Snow Palace after the age of five. 

Even the most frivolous and lazy sixth prince had an ability to kill an army with his bȧrėhands, it truly depicted the saying about don't judge a book by its cover.

The silver haired young man met the eyes of the eighth prince as it further strengthen her suspicion about the plot of the Council. 

"…And that let's not waste time. Before you have to officially enter the schoolyard, you will first be tested in your abilities to determine your section..."

The Charmers who finally took a breather from passing the test never had thought that they would be tested again. They were about to complain but their vision went black, literally the surroundings turned pitch black. 

Only the fading gentle voice of the President could be heard as he reminded them to be careful and not be impatient. The gentle reminder didn't help them a bit as it felt a threatening warning of the latter.

Mist engulfed the vast separate space as it began its simulation. The dark mist was only covering the vision of the Charmers as they were drawn into the Mirror Mist.

The President who was watching from his position together with the Council members were unmoving as they weren't affected by the mist, Feng Zi looked at the pony tailed Charmer - a member also - who was producing the said mist from her hands while the boy beside her was doing precise hand movements as it controlled the situation within the space.

This space wasn't a normal separate space as it was called the Domain Space and the Council members as well as the President was duly in control on what would occur in here, and this space would maxed out the manipulation of charms in which the clueless Charmers would be able to demonstrate their overall ability.

The Domain Space hadn't been used for the past six years due to an accident that almost killed all of the newly admitted first years and that time, the second prince was not yet in position as it was the former President who directed it. It was put into secret to what really happen and it ceased the use of this space. As six years had already passed and the Alliance was in need to find a new member to participate in the upcoming intercompetition, they were permitted by the Principal to expend it for once.

Even though, the second prince was still careful about the lives of this precious first years.

"It started." 

Xuan who was invisible yet included on the spot reforming of the space, whispered as he knew what would about to happen. In fact, as a prop system, he had known the flow of the story and its ending but he was omitted not to divulge unnecessary information to the performer (Chun) as it would affect the decision of the silver haired young man.

This was the prepared test of the Circus to chosen performers who matched the prerequisite. It was only between the Head Seats on what was the requirements of being chosen to partake this test as even Xuan who had been promoted as world traveller had never encountered this case.

'What are they planning?'

On the original world, Xanxia.

Circus organization.

The moonlight shone outside the open window of the man sprawled in his grey comfy bed. He was lying topless in his front, the sėxy back was exposed to the peeking moon as even its light shied away from his explosive male hormones. His curls was grazing his forehead in a languid manner as the handsome man's eyelashes trembled, it could be denied that he was second to Zero when it came to face value but as the First Seat, he already conceded defeat to the Master as even in intelligence and wittiness, he wasn't matched to the former.

Degris was awaken by a disturbing dream as he got up exuding laziness yet his noble air couldn't be concealed. He took the glass of water that was usually prepared by the bedside table as he used to suffering from his 'dreams' and somehow, when the water washed away any drowsiness, the First Seat was clearheaded as he jolted up and put on a cottoned shirt, not bothering to botton it and hurried to where the surveillance system.

His dreams were accurate and it never was false. He must hurry and inform the others.

On the Qi Mountain.

The ten deities were summoned up by Axec as the Crystal Stone gave him another unforeseen event that would be inevitable.

As the Qi Mountain was known for the home of the deities, the time here was running the same with the mortal world but it had never been grazed by the morning light nor the moonlight. It would always be in the midday, no heat of the sun nor darkness of the starless night. But still it created a peaceful and land of bliss and comfort aura as abundance were present all around the place. It never lacked anything.

But somehow, the center of the said mountain stood a forlorn massive tree and indistinguishable budding flower looking insignificant was slowly opening, and no one had noticed the first ever flower that the fruit bearing World Tree had kept.

The future was set and the people that was once involved wouldn't be excluded. A red flag waves up and flames would erupt again.
