210 TROLLS (1/2)
Right after Teacher Wei issued his command, the colorful things hanging in the tree branches which the class thought to be a fruit started to move on its own.
The place had no windows and there is no wind blowing them but the colorful hanging things started to turn around to face the class. There they saw palm-sized human-like creatures.
They all jump away from the tree branches one after another. The 'colorful things' happen to be their thick and long frizzy hair that covers their bodies as they hang themselves in a fetal position among the branches.
Their neon-colored and frizzy hair cascaded down to their bare feet as they stood still on the group. These small creatures have a human-like face.
They have a big head that almost comprises half the size of their plump body. Their upper ad lower extremities were considerably short and stout.
They also have a big and flat nose while their lips were pouty. They have thick and bushy eyebrows while their eyes were extremely large and it appears disproportionate to their big face.
The color of their eyes has the same color that matches the neon color of their hair. All in all, the bunch of palm-sized creatures comes in different colors.
”These are the TROLLS. They love singing and eating. Their life revolves in partying and sleeping. Also, they are known for being fond of anything sparkling, and so they used to hoard large amounts of gold and silver.
Laying one's hands on these treasures is one of the chief rewards for getting the better of them.”
Teacher Wei started his lesson with a brief introduction about the background of Trolls. According to him, the reason why these trolls were kept in an underground chamber is for their own safety.
Trolls have one fatal weakness, and that is the sun. Apparently, when a troll was exposed to sunlight it will immediately be turned into a stone.
Being a lover of music and arts in nature, the Trolls tends to speak in rhymes. Teacher Wei's activity is related to it.
He instructed his students to have an exchange of a few words with the trolls. They can talk about anything under the sun. As long as they were able to get the troll to speak to them they will be considered to pass his activity.
”We have a lot of Trolls here, so feel free to approach any of them whenever you wish to give it a try. You have the rest of the day to complete this activity.”
Teacher Wei ended his instruction with those few words before he sat at the corner of the chamber. He too has his own trolls to talk with.
Teacher Wei and the trolls were having an exchange of rhyming words as if they were just talking casually. It seems that Teacher Wei was really adept when it comes to communicating and dealing with different mythical creatures. Be it a beast, or just another species or dwellers in this magical world.
”Ehem... Let me try it.”
Fan Lei cleared his throat first before he walked near to one of the trolls at sight.
”Hi my friend, Can you hear me on the other end?
I just saw you leap and fly, down to a tree that was so high..”
Fan Lei scratched the back of his head when he realized how lame his words sound when combined together. It was only this time that he realized that talking using rhyming words is not an easy task as it sounds to be.
”Try harder, so your words will sound smarter.
You are not a good speaker lad, but also not that bad.”
When Fan Lei heard the Troll answered him back, he was too delighted. Although what the troll said is not entirely positive, he still accepted the result with huge relief.
At the very least, he managed to pass today's activity.
”Let's give it a try too!”
When they saw how Fan Lei managed to accomplished the task, the other students were also driven to try it out by themselves.
”My name is molly, Molly the beauty
And you are a troll, whose size is tiny
Now that you know my name
Can we play a game?”
One of the student sorceresses, named Molly tried reciting her rhyming words to talk with a red hair Troll.
”Sure why not, give me all you've got.
