Chapter 400: Choose Your Destiny

And after 30 minutes of comfortable pace, you've arrived at an elegant structure. The place was alive with people and it can be seen from their manner alone that these were no ordinary insects.

"Return from whence you came, mortal." one of the guys forbade when he noticed your approach.

"I am also a witch." you replied and rubbed the little nubbin on your finger.

"BOINK!" In a blink of an eye, a hazy smoke shrouded your form only to whisk the excess mist away a breath later. You were now garbed in the distinctive uniform of your school.

"I see. A newbie. Welcome, child. But please mind your words in there. Some people are just borne bitches if you know what i mean." the guy winked at you and you nodded in understanding.

You entered the premises and saw the dashing postures of men and women alike.

Some ate and talked while others were silent on them distant corners with their drinks on hand, content on observing the flow of people around.

There were not only witches on the scene but also wizards with their white consecrated robes and staves. After a quick scan on the place, you saw the familiar figure of a woman.

It was the one you lost your 100 gold coins to.

Tell me what you want:

1. Approach the beautiful woman and strike a conversation.

2. Snatch her away from this building under all these ants' noses.

3. Listen to the rumors flying around.

4. Look for another noob witch or wizard like you.

The peoples around were busy with themselves and their peers. There was food and drinks in abundance. Pipe smokes were also present on the scene.

But since you cared not for these unnecessary things so you stood at a discreet corner to listen to the wiles of these ants.

"The event tomorrow would be great! I would not miss it for anything!"

"What's so good about it? I'm sure that gal Ev would take the prize as usual."

"Perhaps. But you never know. I heard some of the lesser races would want to join in to petition a claim to their lands."

"HAHAHA! They come to die then! It's more interesting to show these cretins where they truly belong."

"Every year, their most talented individuals come here to compete. A pity really."

"What's so pitiful about that? They never learn and that's the price they have to pay for their foolishness! They are born only to serve us! HAHAHA!"

"Enough of that. Should we gamble upstairs or wait for the auction later tonight?"

Tell me what you want:

1. Join on the event tomorrow and win it, with your identity hidden of course.

2. Gamble to lose some but win a whole lot more.

3. Wait for the auction and empty the house, hidden identity per usual.

4. Approach the lovely girl who caught your eye earlier and win her heart by hook or by crook.

"An event, huh?" you muttered and quickly decided that such gatherings were far into the future.

At least by a day but it was the same difference by a consciousness that saw the wheel of time's inception from the start of creation.

A day or a thousand years was but an illusion to a Supreme Existence like you were. Thus, you chose to have some fun at the moment and that was exactly what you did.

"Hello there, woman." an epic entrance if you were the one to judge.

"BANG!" your entire world turned upside down not once or twice but it was in the dozens if the audience's perception would be believed.

The loud crash happened so swiftly but no guest was harmed in the process. All were quick enough to react and evaded the tumbling figure of one man.

The same can't be said to some tables in their static wait of course. Delicious foods and tasty drinks splattered on the floors in an appalling mess.

"What are doing, Amelia?!" asked a stern voice.

"I did not hit him that hard, mother!"

"Take him out of here!"

"But..."

"Don't shame our family's name any further tonight, Amelia. Go!"

"Yes, mother..." After you heard the most important exchanges among the throng, you felt yourself carried out from the building.

More like dragged away but as stated above, it was the same difference. A single flash of dark light and you smelt the sweet fragrance of something.

It was as this time that you dared to open your eyes and witnessed a world of colors and neatness.

The room has the same dimension as your own secret dwelling in the Crescent Moon Witches but their similarity ended there.

While your own was barren and naked, this chamber was directly opposite of that. Artful works gathered around and it enticed your curiosity completely.

There were book shelves on the side and the walls were decorated with amazing portraits.

A few that caught your attention first were the images of a golden goddess, a sacred phoenix, and a painting of a benevolent visage of one man.

You would have scoured the rest of the creative creations if not for the voice that broke your immersion.

"Did i not tell you that the next time you call me woman again, that you would have your teeth for dinner tonight? Why are men all so foolish!"

"I still have all my teeth present." a smart retort and you even smiled to stick the point in.

"I can see that but the same can't be said to your nose. Serves you right!" Indeed, it was as the lady has told you.

Your nose was bleeding all over and the front of your robes had even turned bloodier by the second. But you made no effort in healing yourself. This was after all part of the plan.

You wanted to smirk at your ingenuity but held it in. Else your shameless effort tonight would have been for naught.

"I did nothing wrong. Since i did not know your name, how can i call you other than a woman? You're a woman, are you not?" a second epic comeback and you congratulated yourself well afterwards.
