Chapter 172 - Clues And Hints Part 1

The time came, and the javelins got ready to be fired. Only one way was there to stop this from happening, and that was to ask the Sage emperor for help. But it was already late to do so.

Boom!!

One of the javelins fell near Aryan. It was the last javelin that was set to fire near him. Rest of the javelins were aimed at Aryan now.

Zap!! Zap!! Zap!!

Zap!! Zap!! Zap!!

Zap!! Zap!! Zap!!

Zap!! Zap!! Zap!!

Zap!! Zap!! Zap!!

Javelins began to fall towards Aryan. But did he care about that? No, absolutely no. Till then he was acting as if he was completely asleep and waiting for the javelins to hit him.

Miss Lisa was in a frenzy now. She was using her detection magic, again and again, to see if that kid had set any barrier around him or not. And to his disappointment and frustration, he hadn't set anything at all.

Amidst the situation, she thought of her another possibility that came to her mind. Her eyes sparkled, and she looked towards the mirror again.

Seeing the laugh on her face, the assistants thought she must have thought of something to prevent this misfortune from happening.

One of the assistants went near her and asked, "Supreme Head, have you thought of any way to save that child? Or any way to stop the javelins?"

"No, I haven't." She answered in a confident voice.

All the assistants present there, "…."

"Then why are you so happy then? I mean this laugh on your face…. Can we know the reason?"

"Huehuehue, Can't you understand the kid must have set teleportation magic circles above him. So that when the time comes, any attack will be transferred to some other place."

Before the assistant checked out the result and replied something, another assistant tested it before him and blurted out in panic, "Hold god!! He hasn't set any magic circles above him!!"

Hearing the loud cry that was more of a screech, Lisa's blood pressure rose high. She checked it out herself and as expected, he didn't have any magic circles on him.

Some moments ago while she was freaking out, she thought that might be the case and didn't think to check out the result. But now that she knows the kid had no means to save himself, she became sure that she was done for.

Punishment, fired from the job, crippling her cultivation, death sentence…. Many things were coming to her mind. Amidst her thinking, one of the assistants screeched again and drew her attention towards the mirror.

She turned around and took a look at the mirror. What she saw in it was something that stopped her heart and brought it to her mouth.

The kid was completely harmless, not a single scratch was there. Not only the kid but also the ground around him was back to normal as it was before. Judging from the scenario no one would say that the place was filled with holes some time ago.

"Whhaa-what happened here?" she asked in a staggering voice.

The assistant near her who had been watching this from the beginning was dumbstruck. Seeing his unusual behaviour Lisa called her out and asked what's wrong with him.

But no response. Even after calling him for twice or thrice, she didn't get any response.

"Damn it!!" she shouted in anger and punched him in his stomach to drag him back to reality.

"Ouch!! Huh~~ Uh~ Eh~~!!"

Seeing he was acting all confused, Lisa waved her hand above his head and inserted some of her mental energy to calm down his mind. After calming down, the assistant stood up abruptly and looked towards the mirror again.

"Xeu what happened? What did you see in the mirror?" asked Lisa in a low voice. She was sure that Xeu saw something in the mirror that gave him a shock. Big enough to throw his mind in a turmoil.

"Yes, yes mam, telling," said the assistant and narrated the event that he saw in the mirror when Lisa was thinking about an idea to save the kiddo.

According to him all the javelins fell on the kid and created a huge explosive in that area. Even though the fire from explosives disappeared the smoke still remained covering the entire scenario.

Slowly the smoke started to disappear and the scene came into vision. At that time only the ground filled with vision and the bed was visible. Xeu was watching everything carefully and was making assumptions about the safety of that child.

Amidst his thinking, a light flickered in the smoke and everything began to twist around. Upon hearing this Lisa stopped him and asked him what did he meant by began to twist.

Xeu hesitated for a while as he himself didn't know how to explain that. While he was thinking about it he got an idea and explained the same to his head.

"Mam, you have seen how the space twists when we use a large scale teleportation magic, right?"

"Yes, I have seen. So what about it?"

"Ah, when I said the space began to twist I was referring to something like that."

"Oh~~~!!" Lisa exclaimed and began to ponder about it.

Since they were observing it through a mirror, they were unaware of the fact that not only the space the little kiddo on the bed had also twisted the time and reality lines near him. All they could find was that the kiddo used some space related technique to escape from that attack. And about the ground below him….. How it returned back to normal they were still pondering over that.

Now that the major headache was gone Lisa looked at the mirror again. And to his surprise, she got another headache after taking a glimpse of the situation.

The kiddo was still asleep!!

He was acting like as if nothing happened!!

"Gahhhhhh~~" she shouted in anger and asked one of her assistants to apply broadcast magic circles on the mirror.

"Yes, yes mam," replied the assistant and applied a magic circle on the mirror.

After applying magic, Lisa pulled him back from the mirror and threw him back with a force. At that time she was completely pissed. It was a miracle how she was suppressing her anger and not taking it out on the mirror.

"Hey, you kiddo, I know you are listening, wake up and answer me." She shouted in a rage.

Aryan heard her screeching but ignored it completely.

Lisa shouted again, and Aryan ignored again.

Lisa shouted higher than the last time and this time Aryan turned towards the next side.

"Gahhhhh~~~ Kid tell me what do you want? And stop burning my brain."

Upon listening to the words that Aryan wanted to hear, he woke up at once and threw the blanket beside him.

Lisa choked upon seeing the hundred eighty change of behaviour and asked one of her assistants to bring a water glass for her.

After revitalizing her throat and recovering from the shock, she shouted out and asked, "Tell me clearly, what do you want? I will try my best to fulfil your demand. But only one, not more than that."

"Hehehe, fine by me. Give me the clue of the treasures." Sen asked with a smile.

Lisa "…."

Her assistants "…"

"Forget about it," she shouted out in anger. Never in her life she had seen someone who literally asked the overseers for a hint or clue.

"Then you too forget about it. Don't disturb me." Sen replied and was about to sleep when a voice interrupted him and stopped him from sleeping.

It was one of Lisa's assistants.

"Mam, according to the rules the boy should either clear the trial or must fail the trial. If he remained in the middle of both it would attract the sage emperor's attention."

Lisa pondered over it and said, "You are right."

She was also afraid of the fact that if the sage emperor found out how she went mad and attacked that kiddo, she may lose her job forever. Not only would she lose her reputation, money, name and fame that she had built up from the last ten years.

"Mhm….. Let's hear him out and do something about him."

"Yes mam."

Lisa started the broadcast magic circles again and asked the kiddo if he wanted something else or not.

But to her dismay, Sen only asked for the treasure clue. Even though she was boiling in anger from inside she didn't let it reflect on her voice and asked in a sweet voice, "Lil kiddo, before I give you your clue care to tell me your name?"

"Sen," replied Aryan. He didn't tell his last name since his parents had forbidden him to do so.

"Sen…. Huh…. Well, never heard this name. Must be some smaller family." Lisa muttered and took out a clue to pass onto Aryan.

Giving clues was not a violation of rules, instead, supreme heads before her used to give various clues to the participants.. But all these things changed when Lisa got the position of the overseer.
