Chapter Five
If the lecture hall yesterday is already huge. This place where im standing right now is much bigger maybe ten times bigger! The wall around me is all white this is like a castle the one that we usually see in dramas there is like a cloud around the whole interior is like the same as what we are seeing in some movies.
I really can't explain what its look like.
“Today is our 50,000th years assembly where majority of the people of Five realms is here, we have the Flower Realms, Human Realms, Aqua Realms, Dark Realms and of course the Heaven Realms” everyone started to cheer. Human realms is here wait is that the President?? Oh my god! Is this what they hiding from humans??? If I become a reporter, I will be rich.
I laughed on my thoughts.
“Don't daydream you will need to focus ”Jarek said I just snorted at him and look again at the front. The dark realm is really creepy they all have a horn plus they all look scary but wait why are they here? I thought there is a fight between them.
“This year assembly is much more special because this year is where we will select who have the traits to fight the Demon Lord "the person on the front said.
“The Dark Realm is innocent for all the bad deeds the Demon Lord did” the speaker also added. Oh so it means this people on Dark Realm is not really connected on this Demon Lord and they said that in the last 14 years after my Dad fight with the Demon God or whatever Lord he is after he did a search for maiden he suddenly went out of the grid.
No wonder this people is really preparing for war because this Demon Lord is nowhere to be found ever since that incident. If you going to think if it. They really need to prepare because anytime this Demon Lord might attack, we have this saying that it is much better to be loud than to be quiet.
"Hi are you a new student too?" i heard a girl who talked beside me so i look at her. OMG she is so cute her face is so small.
"Yes im new here. You also?" i said and smile at her i saw her blushing as she nod on my question and her cheeks really become rosy.
"From what realm are you? "she asks again
"Flower Realm" I said and look at the front i still need to listen because anytime they Test might start they might give instructions too and its a shame if i didn't know it.
"Oh wow! im from Aqua realm "she said so i just smile at her again and she became quiet this time because the person who speaking at the stage is already get our attention for those new students.
"For the new students who just come a year ago your Skill Test will start in a minute. I required you all to go your respective mentor" the spokesperson said so i immediately find Sir Paul and some of my classmates is there too so some of them is also new. "Im so nervous" one of the girl said there and look at her i tried to smile at her.
She also smiled back. At least she's not that mean.
"For those new students everyone here will witness on your origin if where you really from and what is your true appearance because mostly of the fairies, mermaid, elf and other race is changing their appearance that can block your natural ability" the man said there and all of the audience started to become loud because of the announcement.
"I heard that the new student from Flower Realm is really ugly but she changes her appearance here "i heard them i know they are talking about me. I tried to look for Jarek who's on the crowd and he looks so bothered. I suddenly become so nervous because of his facial reactions.
"Students please prepare your self after this appearance test the Natural Ability test will start" Sir Paul said and now i feel become more nervous what if i made a mistake. I am just new its just like i just arrived here 2 days ago am i not an exception? I felt my chest become tight. I need air.
Why im still feeling my anxiety attack here.
I run away from that crowded place and go to the nearest open area. I find myself standing here on the open space and i think im the only person here i tried to calm myself but my whole body still shaking and im still chasing my breath as i hold my chest.
"Breath in Breath out"i said and close my eyes im going to be fine.
"Are you okay?"i heard a voice but i didn't look to that person who asking me i focus on calming myself because that's all i need right now. "Do you need help?"he ask again but i still disregard it.
Minutes passed the person who asking me still in my side i can still feel his gaze on me. I know he's a guy based on his voice of course. When i thin i already compose myself and my body stopped on trembling. I stood up and look to the guy in my side.
"I feel okay now thanks for asking" i said and slowly look at the person oh god damn god.
Its God Titus. After seeing him i suddenly feel the urge to run which i really did. I don't know if i will be getting a punishment from running away on this God but i don't care im too startled. Of course who's not?!
"Hey where did you go?"its Jarek asking i just whisper on what happened he suddenly felt worried but i assure him that im all good now.
Sometimes my anxiety just attacking like that. Nothing new already used to it but didn't just expect that it will happened again here. I just observe those people who doing their appearance test there's really a lot who change their appearance. That's really a tricky one.
"Changing your appearance should be banned here" its Ivy well i remember her because she is the only one who give me a sarcastic look. I dont know why she's like this to me i didnt even did something to her.
"Who knows fairy Ivy we will see that her appearance is fake that look is too alluring for sure she did something "another girl said i just look at them and smile again the best weapon for your hater is be nice to them.
I heard their scornful on what i react. Beside they are talking about me in front of my face well i think that is much better than someone talking behind your back.
More time passes and the Flower realm turn. I already fall in line and look at this situation im the last. Well im really prepared on what going to happen if they going to hate me because of my appearance.
I saw a lot of highest personality there they said the one on the center is the King and Queen of the Heaven Realm which is the most powerful one. I also noticed God Titus there beside the throne and a familiar shape sitting on the upper part. Its mom she's smiling at me she is wearing her scarf on her head its like she's hiding?
She's really insane she might be thinking that im not going to notice her. Well that give me a relief seeing her there so what ever happened on this test i will feel at ease because i know she's there watching me.
When its my turn all of their eyes was looking at me i can feel and sharp and soft look, their reaction is really mixed. Other was admiring while other is waiting for my fall on the other side they are confused on who i am well i think im the only one who don't have the mark on my head because i just noticed all fairy in Flower Realm have one.
I looked at the big mirror and it have a portal where if you enter it you will be out on the other side but it this time your true appearance will be seen.
As i walked going inside i closed my eyes and walk to the other side of this mirror portal.
When i passed i slowly opened my eyes and i saw everyone there looked so shock like they cant believe what they saw. I knew it im not really beautiful.
I just want to run away here again until... the person speak and looked at me.
"In my whole 20,000 years hosting this assembly this is the first time i encounter a fairy who didn't change the appearance. To be honest this is not what i expect too! Fairies have the best abilities to perfectly change the outer appearance" he said and smile at me i saw him going near me and ask my hand.
Is he saying that my appearance really the same? I find my mom on the crowd again but she's not there anymore. Where did she go? As i walked going near to the stage everyone is clapping their hands.
"There is another appearance test that we need to do" he said he give me an instruction to put my hand on a big wall there i just follow his instructions.
Suddenly there is light coming out on that big wall and there is an image appeared there. Its mom and a handsome guy who i felt so near to me.
"What a coincidence! You are the daughter of Beauty Goddess Thalia and the former God Of War Ares "he said and everyone there started to talk about it i feel their sharp eyes earlier started to get warm and look at me.
And after that my mom came out walking towards me and she's smiling so brightly.
"My dear daughter "she said as she hug me.
"I know this time will come and i cannot hide the truth from you i also cannot hide your identity from them" she said and smiling i saw the people from that center chair coming to us. "Thalia!" its the Queen said she's smiling so brightly. "I knew it she really resemblance you "the Queen said and she looks at me.
"Welcome back here Ariah" she said and touch my hand. Why i feel so emotional? I saw the King just smile at me.
"I didn't mean to interrupt the assembly but you can continue now! "Its my mom signaling the spokesperson to continue. I also was instruct to go back to my designated area. This time all the sharp eyes that looking at me earlier is now gone. There is still few Of Course and yeah guess it right.
Its Ivy who cant accept the results. I just disregard it and go near Jarek who smiling at me too..
