59 It Was Netra, Right? (1/2)

”The school entrance exam will be on the day of the first equinox, marking the new year. It will be a two-day event where the first day we test the essence affinity and strength of the novice youths and the second day is for the adept youths. As a prize for thriving in the first tournament, the gorilla clan will be giving away cultivation techniques, battle arts, gold, and more. Are there any objections?” Oli cut to the chase and got everyone to stand behind the idea. ”If there are none, then let's move on from our announcements and discuss how we can best move forward together as a town.”

The chiefs council continued till the suns set and all chiefs had finished sharing the details of their tribes' or clans' lifestyles and how they can best avoid unnecessary friction between them.

Once the council was dismissed, everyone stood and began to chat and speak casually about the news they had all just heard, especially the young stallion with a big mouth and no self-control. He was bragging about his recent breakthrough to peak-novice with the other young masters.

But as he stepped back, he bumped into someone and knocked them to the floor.

It was a young fox that silently fell and hid her face in her two tails. Not many had noticed what happened, but she was too shy to not try and hide it. Her pitch-black fur could easily let her disappear in the night, only revealing some silver streaks the were mesmerizing to examine up close.

”I'm so sorry! It was an accident, I swear,” Oli apologized immediately.

”Mm,” she didn't say much at all as she slowly showed her face.

”Netra are you okay?” the Night Fox young master ran over to the fallen vixen, offering his tail to help her back up.

”I'm fine brother,” Netra got up on her own, rejecting him.

”But sis—”

”Mrado, that's enough. You know your sister can handle herself,” said Chief Puula as she walked up to her daughter. ”Are you okay Netra? You know better than to stand so closely behind someone.”

”Mm,” she shrugged off her mother's concern and stepped in front of Oli, peering into his eyes for a few moments. ”You're different.”
