G. Chapter 30
As I got closer I saw the information about her.
[ Name: Asi
Race: Normal Human
Stage Five Mortal Mage Realm
‹more info› ]
Eh? She's still at Stage Five Mortal Mage Realm. Isn't her cultivation stage low according to her talent?
She is speaking with the reception lady," How can you drop at the last minute? You should've informed me beforehand. How am I going to complete the task now?" It seems to be related to some sort of teammates dropout before the start of a task. I heard it's pretty common. There are even situations when people dropout midway during a task.
The reception lady is trying to calm her," Asi please calm down. We got a chance to enter one of the main teams. You know how big this chance is to us. My sister and I are sorry but please understand we are suddenly informed that we can be part of the main team. We can't give up this chance."
Oh! That reception lady should be pretty good to become part of one of the main teams. Zealous Eleven Group has eleven main teams for competitions in their group. Stage three Realm to Stage thirteen Realm, eleven teams. It's said other teams are never considered main teams. In competitions where the restrictions for cultivation stage is loose the team members are chosen from these eleven main teams.
Asi shook her head. She said," I know. I am happy for you two. But still we have prepared for this task for more than two weeks. And with you dropout at the last moment. It leaves a bad taste."
" Mmm, I can understand how you are feeling. I will make up for it for sure" the reception lady patted her shoulder.
I got near to them.
Both of them sensed my presence as I got near to them. They turned towards me. The reception lady was stunned, seconds later her eyes wide opened as she looked at me. Good response. She must have recognised me. We just met a few minutes ago.
As I stood in front of Asi she took two steps back. Oh! She's maintaining some gap and why does it look like she's.. kinda cautious?? of me?
Hey, it looks like she's extremely cautious now.
I thought she would be attracted to my face. But caution? Hey I am just wearing plain clothes. And I don't think I am messy. Even if you aren't attracted to me, why are you being that cautious of me? I guess looks can't attract everyone.
I tried to speak with her," Hi, I am Hosa. You are Asi right?"
She frowned and replied," Yes. Who are you?"
It's no surprise she forgot me. I tried to remind her," I am from Cyan Ripple Planet. I was your classmate at capital city school. Remember me?"
She looked at my face once again. It looks like she's trying to remember me. Oh! it seems she remembers me.
She said expressionlessly," Hosa, yes, I remember. A body cultivator."
*Shrugs* Well, I was the only body cultivator in our class. It's easy to remember me.
I lightly smiled and asked, " Yes, that's me. How are you?"
She nodded,"Fine."
It seems she has no interest. *Sigh*
The reception lady is glancing at both of us.
I turned to look at the reception lady and asked," What happened? I overheard something about dropping from a task?"
She looked at me and said, " Oh! My sister and I have to leave the team at the last moment. And she can't complete the task now.*
I asked," what's the task about?"
She replied," It's a fifth level task. You need to get a fifth grade magical fruit. The task is part of the competition tasks held the day after tomorrow."
Oho a fifth level task. The danger level is appropriate for Stage five mages. Hmm.. That's the maximum I can manage and win.
I looked at Asi and asked," Aah! Can I help with the task?"
She directly asked," what's your body cultivation stage?"
I answered," Stage two Mortal Body Realm."
She shook her head and refused," Sorry, I can't take risk with your low cultivation stage."
He-he-he, she knew my body cultivation wouldn't be high and still asked about my cultivation stage. She already wanted to reject me.
I quickly informed her," hey! I am also a Stage two Mortal Mage. I practice and study the healing element as my main element." I tried to move magic energy in my body. Aura belonging to a stage two mortal mage was released from me.
She narrowed her eyes,"Healing mage?"
I immediately added," I can cast fourth level healing spells"
Now she was surprised. But still she asked with doubt," fourth level healing spells? Really? You are a Stage two Mortal Mage."
I assured her," Yes, I can cast a fourth level healing spell. I can continuously cast five fourth level spells." I immediately showed my results sheet from my one year course on my watch. My skills in healing magic is also added as an extra.
Hey, even a stage seven cultivator won't reject a person who can cast a fourth level healing spell. Even if a healing mage is at Stage four Mortal Mage Realm it doesn't mean he can cast a fourth level healing spell. It's also the same with other magic cultivators. Your cultivation stage only represents the amount of magic energy you have. The level of your spells is what that matters.
She had a complicated expression looking at my results sheet. And it seems she wants to say something.
I gave a last try," Actually I am new to the University. I am from the new batch of students. I don't know anyone here. So when I saw you, I was happy to see a familiar face. By helping you I thought it would be good. And I can also learn many things about the University too"
Hearing me she gave me a blank look. I pointed at my results sheet where it showed the year I completed my course.
She looked at my face again. After some thought she nodded," Okay. You can join me."
I smiled widely and replied excitedly,"Thanks."
Haagh.. I never thought I could speak with her. My childhood crush. The only girl I ever had a crush on. I hesitated to get close to her when I had the chance. I never got a chance in six years after she transferred schools. Even though it feels like I am speaking to a whole different person than in my imagination. I am delighted to speak to her.
But still I miss it. Her smile. I want to see her smile.
