Chapter 17: On my way.
566 Words
I don't know which way should I take.
Did Sofia tell me the exact location of that school? I'm positive that she just told me that it is located on the land of Castre.
Ugh! My memory!
I faced my palm and it made me notice the wristwatch Yohan gave me. It can show directions, right? I remembered he told me to just click the watch. It sounds easy.
I pressed everything I can but nothing happens. He said it's easy to use! It's worthless if I can't use it.
I guess I don't have any choice but to use my ability.
I tried doing it once when I got lost on my way to my old school. I used air to guide me and lead the way. I don't see it but it gave me direction.
But I haven't used this for a while.
“Please, guide me to the Estrella Academy. Let's take the easiest way to get there.” I whispered.
Trying to awaken the power that lies within me. I know it's still here. It's just in a deep slumber.
I really need you right now, please help me.
Minutes passed, there was no response. But I patiently waited.
I observed my surrounding. The trees started to dance. The wind suddenly blows up and gathered itself. I may not see it but I know that it is not just a wind, it has a body now. It transformed into one creature. I don't know what it is but I can feel it. It's also like this back then.
It always took some time because the air gather itself first and combined each particle to form a body. Too bad I can't see it.
As I wished, it took the lead as we go there. I just followed its presence. We ran all the way to the school. I can't make myself float or fly because my energy is already draining.
As soon as I reached the entrance, I immediately stand in the line where enrollees were supposed to wait up. I was out of breath. And my energy is drained.
But I was glad I made it on time. The entrance is already crowded, there are too many people who wants to enroll here.
The school is indeed famous.
“Excuse me, is it the right line for the enro--” I asked the girl in front of me but she didn't even let me finish my question. She already judged me.
“This is not a charity and there's also no free foods here. Why does a dirty beggar like you are here? Go! Leave!”
I was about to fight her but before I could utter words, a guard came to us.
“What's happening here?” The guard asked with a loud voice that took everyone's attention.
“Reap, there's a beggar here. I think she mistook this event, it's an enrollment not a charity for people like her. So, make her leave.” The girl told what she thinks. She also called the guard, Reaper.
“Are you taking an exam to enroll here?” The guard asked me ignoring the other girl.
His voice is quite intimidating that made me stutter.
“Y-yes.” I answered.
“Problem solved. Now behave and wait patiently for your turn.” He then walked away and returned to his position.
