''What did you say? Who is back?'' A man with big black eyes stared at the shaking cultivator in front of him. ''Impossible. He should be dead. How is that even possible?''
The cultivator stepped back while a pale looking man jumped inside and in rush started gathering all kind of things in Headmasters office. ''We need to run now. t seems he is coming back with all those fools we sent out. Damn it!''
''Wait, what?'' The man became furious. ''I paid those fools so many potions and he is still alive. They had a whole year inside to kill him. What are they doing? Now he got all his powers back and we can forget to destruct him. You are right to let's go. Do you have your transportation scroll?''
The pale looking man waved his hand with the scroll and got closer. ''I paid a fortune for this scroll. But first, we need to save our lives. If he finds us here, he will... Damn, he is coming.. quick break the scroll!''
Headmaster broke through the door and saw last speck of them evaporating into space and roared. ''Damn it! Transportation scrolls! How did those two fools find transportation scrolls?''
Terrak sighed. ''Grounding Fairy sect is selling those occasionally. It seems they have someone who knows how to make them. But scrolls they make has a strange problem. It has no real direction. they might end up in mid of grat fire or in the depth of the deep sea. They might end up as well two feet further.''
Headmaster started laughing. ''Such a failure is expensive?''
Terrak shook his head. ''No, that one is the cheaper one. The other one cost expensive herbs. And as it seems those fools found spirit herbs and brought it to grounding Fairy Sect.''
''Spirit herbs? But they are rare, how did they find such precious thing?'' In mid realm, most expensive things are anything that ahs spirit on it. ''Why does Grounding Fairy sect needs it?''
''From the information I got, they make their own potions and they have every seven days competitions. those that win get potions socially made just for them, for their own power enhancement.'' Terrak openly admired their way of doing things. ''Lately, not many of their cultivators left the sect to visit outside world and as it seems many of them rose their powers greatly. It seems this year it will be impossible to win any of the first three places.''
When Headmaster heard about prices he started laughing. ''I can bet that those form sect won't even try to get to first place, accept someone make them annoyed. Let's watch form the sides and not make big waves. I plan to befriend that child, Kendra. I just hope she won't hate me too much.''
The day's passed quickly as sects, guilds and schools worked hard to train their cultivators for the next competition. But many cultivators were actually in deep cultivation rooms as the annual decade completion ha nothing that could make them come out and stop cultivating.
Every guild gathered their best fighters and stared moving towards great competition ground that was in mid of sea of souls. They call the sea that way as it was made of liquid acid and any normal common that touches that place could end up only as a puddle of red liquid, so strong the acid was.
In mid of that place was a small island that everyone was heading. From Grounding Fairy Sect came out only one hundred of cultivators that others chose by voting and trough inner competitions. As Kendra stood in her Red robe between her cultivators that wore the same thing all other schools felt strange vibe coming from them. Like a floating mass of energy, they approached the site and unintentionally many schools let them pass.
Every time they passed the school, guild or sect the cultivators would politely bow towards them and show their respect. And with such small movement, they gained respect even before arriving at the competition ground.
Kendra knew already that it was another well-thought formation and she curiously looked at it trying to see can she use the idea for her own plans. But she had no time and it was forbidden to stay near array too long as it had a protective shield in case someone tries to love the puzzle.
She gave up but good a good idea and smiled at Headmaster. Deeply in his heart, he sighed. ''This child seemingly got some good idea and she will probably use it as soon e are at home. She should just write it...''
The only problem Kendra ever had was her forgetfulness. She would constantly forget names or mix them up, forget the name of the worlds and planes and she even forgets her own thoughts and ideas but at the moment she gets the idea she sometimes forgets it next moment and tries to remember for days. ''Please write it down or it will go down the drain and you will walk like freaking undead around if you forget it again.''
Luckily someone pushed Isaa and she saw Kendra's expressions and summoned table, brushes, ink and paper so she can write it down rights way, making other people that were looking drop their jaws. They saw calmly standing Headmaster in grandiose uniform and bunch of cultivators standing straight while looking at the woman that wrote something in deep thoughts while smiling beautifully.
But instead making them being attracted to her, she was after all beautiful creature, they felt discomfort and fear, as she had really scary chuckle on her lips as they passed their group. ''It seems it is time I make her smile bit softer.'' One of young man confidently rubbed his hands while his guild people and her sect people looked at him with a shake of their heads.
Some of them were in the same world at that time and already then she was a scary child. Now after she grew up, how scary her powers might be? But soon they will find out, at least tiny part of it.
After all, she needed to throw a bite far away, so she could reel real master on her beat and destroy its existence...
