17 Preliminaries (1/2)

”How did you know I was here?” Fei Lei asked.

”I saw the clear Mana from the inner part of the city and thought that it had to be you, only master, and his newest pupil could have such frightening Non-Elemental Mana.” Hina said smiling at Fei Lei, ”I also came over to see what the fuss was about, Teacher said you are one of his most promising pupils yet.”

Fei Lei scratched his head, ”Thanks for the compliment, how is Teacher?”

Hina laughed, ”He's been drinking a lot, and every time he gets drunk he brags about you. Says that the rest of us don't even half the drive you do.” she ended the sentence placing her finger on his chest.

Fei Lei laughed again with a bit of embarrassment, Yan Mei's cheeks puffed up and she stomped her foot on Fei Lei's, ”What?!” Fei Lei asked with a clueless expression on his face.

Seeing that her legendary foot stomp had been thwarted by Fei Lei's thick skin, she stomped his foot a few more times before she turned her head away from him, crossed her arms and let out a grumpy grunt.

”Did I do something wrong?” Fei Lei asked as he tilted his head around towards her.

Hina seeing her reaction smiled and placed her arm around Fei Lei's shoulder before whispering loudly enough for Yan Mei to hear, ”How about you and I go out for a drink tonight? Maybe after we could find a...” She moved her body closer to Fei Lei when Yan Mei shouted, ”You can't!”

Hina backed off and said, ”I can't what?”

Yan Mei's eyes were darting left and right as she tried to come up with an excuse, when she said bit the bullet and shouted, ”Because, Fei Lei is mine!”

Yan Mei placed her arm around Fei Lei and pulled him close to her chest while she stared daggers at Hina like a possessive kitten.

Hina smiled and grabbed her as well, ”Oh my gosh, you're so cute! Why don't you and I share a bed instead?”

Yan Mei was shocked as she pointed her finger at her and shouted while hiding behind Fei Lei like a frightened rabbit, ”I.I.I.I can't do that!”

”Why not? I can be a lot of fun at night!” Hina grinned with a naughty look in her eyes.

Fei Lei and Yan Mei had both turned into cherries, their faces were covered in blush, and they couldn't stare at her in the eye.

Slapping them on the back she laughed, ”I'm just kidding, lighten up a little will ya.” As she slapped them on the back she noticed Yan Mei's breast shake as if something overtook her, Hina moved over and quickly grabbed them before saying, ”What do you feed these things?!”

As Hina continued to molest her breast, Yan Mei let out a shrieking, ”Eep!” as she hopped behind Fei Lei and used his back to hide from her.

Hina was flexing her fingers and grabbed her own breasts, she then looked back to Yan Mei who was poking her head out slightly. A funny smile came over Hina's face as the rest of the crowd had many noses bleeds as they stared at them.

Fei Lei, however, seemed to be turning some heads himself, many of the men had ”I will kill you!” looks written all over their expressions.

Suddenly a strange multicolored light lit up the area, a tall man standing almost 6 feet 3 stood in full black armor and wore a thick tan coat, on his back was a massive black sword that looked like it weighed a few hundred pounds.

The light engulfed the area as the tester shouted, ”Four Elements Roots! The rarest of all the roots have appeared!”

The man had a handsome face, short spiked back, black hair, and looked a few years older than Fei Lei, he had a long scar going from the bottom half of his left cheek, it ran all the way up across his eye and to the middle of his eyebrow.

He stood forward and walked up to the pillar, he drew his sword and engulfed it in a Sigil that said, ”Elemental Equip” on it. The four classical elements blended into one as the sword hit the target. The area around the blade's surface turned to dust, the7-foot sword showed no resistance as it easily cleaved the pillar in half.

He walked up on stage as the testing continued several other talents were discovered, there was a group of students from the same school that Hina was from, and the last one, a small boy with aqua blue hair appeared, he was dressed in a butler like uniform and was even shorter than Yan Mei.

His face looked like a doll, in fact, Fei Lei had to check a few times to make sure he wasn't looking at a girl. As he placed his hand on the orb, it started to create countless little explosive noises, as it grew into a large chaotic explosive colored image.

”Dual Roots of Wind and Fire! Explosion Sigil owner!” The crowd gasped.

The boy walked over to the test dummy and raised his hand, a Large level 0 Explosion Sigil appeared and landed on the surface of the pillar, snapping his finger it was covered in dozens of micro-explosions that caused it to fall into pieces.

”Pass.” The young looking person jumped up in joy as he walked on stage with everyone else.

Since the last person had signed up, the testers shouted, ”Tomorrow morning, at the crack of sunrise, everyone that passed will reconvene here to compete for the ten party slots for the invading force.”

Everyone started to scatter, when Fei Lei, Yan Mei, and Hina decided to go to the Guild to register as a team.

”What are we going to call our team name?” Yan Mei asked, ”How about Mage Slayer's Disciples!?” Hina asked.

”Who said you're joining!? Besides, Crimson Heroes has a much better ring to it.” Yan Mei shot back.

Hina raised her hands and made a grabbing gesture with them, ”If you don't invite me, I'll stalk your boobs!”

Hina started chasing after Yan Mei, the two were literally running circles around Fei Lei when Yan Mei pulled Fei Lei in front of her hands and proceeded to be grouped himself.
