Deora’s heated gaze turned towards Zerel “What did you just call er towards Zerel, his two eyes like embers

Zerel’s vulpine smile didn’t waver at all “Little Dei?”

“No! The other thing!”

Zerel scratched his head feigning ignorance “Eh? What other thing? I always call you little Dei”

Deora’s erously “Annoying You are so annoying! Even that way of address is annoying There isn’t a single part of me that is little!”

Zerel tilted his head and smiled impishly “Little patience”

All sound in the room stilled at that h or cry Some of theh The others were counting their blessings hoping that Deora wouldn’t erupt in flames

Deora didn’t kno to respond to Zerel’s retort Zerel had always been more proficient in the art of conversation Since he couldn’t coht lipped expression slowly turned into a pout “Hmph!”

He turned back to the exaer He scrutinized their faces, trying to determine who spoke earlier

While Deora was glaring left and right, Zerel brought out a pocket watch and checked the ti for abehind schedule because of it, Eri will be very ht even punish you”

Examinees didn’t knoho “Eri” was but they nodded their heads nonetheless That other professor ht be just as odd as the hot-tempered redhead, but at least he had so to defuse the bomb

“You can search for the miscreant after the test” Zerel added innocently

The exa open You two…you are nothing like teachers! Who in the nain, let you two supervise the entrance exams?!

Elaru wasn’t aape She had previously heard of both Deora Thayn and Zerel Reysic Both of theeniuses in their respective fields

Deora was on his way to becoest Muni professor (as opposed to his current status of an assistant professor), at the gentle age of 23 Although he was an argel, which ic, he was aflames Which coupled with his short fuse, earned him the nickname “firecracker”

Zerel, on the other hand, was an authority on several different topics, froe and culture to survival in the wilderness He was popularly referred to as a “walking encyclopedia”

The mention of “Eri” and “punishment” seeed his deht! We !”

His aura quickly turnedall the pressure from the examinees His face, however, looked a bit stiff

He quickly turned around and continued explaining right where he left off This ti to make up for lost time

While everyone else was concentrating on Deora’s words, Elaru wasn’t payingsaid Her heart thu to break out

What are the odds?! How can there be such a large coincidence? Could fate truly exist?

Her father warned her to lower her perfor too much attention to herself

She had every intention to listen to him

She had

But the current situation wasn’t so she predicted would happen The probability was less than 1 She would have downplayed it without a hitch…if her examiner was anyone else

But nonplaying it was no longer the ideal oal, she would need to show her worth eventually However, if she hid it initially, it would only raise more questions later

Was this encounter good or bad luck?

For 18 years she had kept to the shadows, stifling her nature, never walking out to the light Watching everyone rise and spread their na them make a difference in the world, while she disappeared into obscurity

She walked in the shadows, yet where she belonged – what she craved, was the light

Elaru clenched her fists, the blood inside her starting to boil

It was time

Time for her to attempt to cross the divide To shoot up into the stars To becoarded Someone who mattered

Was it dangerous? Very

But when has Elaru Wayvin ever been afraid of danger? In fact, which part of her life wasn’t dangerous?

Elaru Wayvin wasn’t the type of person who let opportunities slip her by

Her eyes gloith fiery light like two bright suns That’s right! This is the true rets!

These exams were exactly the opportunity she needed If she didn’t take it, she would forever regret it Yet, if fate weren’t playing tricks on her, she wouldn’t have remembered who she was

Her aura burned and intensified, if anyone were to come close to it, they would be enveloped by incredible pressure If anyone’s mind were to touch it, they would receive a shock

If I’o out in flames!

I’ll show them exactly who Elaru Wayvin truly is!

The change in her own aura didn’t escape her notice Quickly, decisively, she wrapped her Mind around her tighter, leaving only a few ss in her cocoon, so that her aura wouldn’t disappear completely

It seeed to conceal it in tie
