Isiah didn't say a word after that, he fainted and that left Adelita almost crazy but just seconds after that Jivan ended the spell.
He was very exhausted by it with sweat all over his head.
" What happened to him Jivan? is he okay ? …talk to me …"Adelita started screaming at him like a lunatic but he smirked and then said;" You are very rude for a disciple!"
" Call me that and I'll kill you, old creepy pervert" She punched him in his arm.
Jivan kept smiling at her while enjoying teasing her by calling her a disciple, he knew perfectly that she hated that nickname.
Jivan looked at her with a serious look then said :" Bring a cup of tea and two of your delicious biscuits"
In seconds he had what he asked for, she was breathing fastly because she ran towards the kitchen to bring him what he wanted, then he took the a cup from her and even took a sip from it then took a bite from that biscuit, she was looking at him with a surprised face, and when he noticed her he said with a sarcastic tone:" What !!! I can't even eat around here???"
She punched him on the chest and said with a loud voice:'' Is this a time for your hideous games? The kids' state is very deteriorated and you're enjoying drinking your tea!"
Adelita retreated from him and headed towards Isiah who was at the moment unconscious while Jivan continued eating like nothing happened.
—---------------
All the five districts were separated with a long line of huge walls created by the higher mages, and each visit to any of the districts required having a pass so that the people inside the palace could track their movements .
For years that happened as if it was a normal thing to be done, while it was in fact just a way for them to say that they didn't trust the people from Delwias Island.
The preparation for the evaluation test was going at a stady pace, the training from the contestants was still happening too.
The palace kept it a secret but some of the contestants already knew that it was the last evaluation, and that's why they trained heavily in secret to raise their capacities.
Rain kept pouring day and night which caused some troubles for mages there but they continued working as if nothing happened.
Even when the seventh king thought that he solved the problems by hiding the information from his subjects, some people knew.
A few kept it to themselves and started to think of possibilities to leave alone and some of them felt betrayed and weak and therefore left behind by the king they worshiped for years .
However there were no complaints, and in fact they were definitely forced to stay calm until the end .

" Water …i need water " Isiah whispered but Adelita who was sitting next to him for the past two days heard him clearly, so she snapped her fingers and extracted some water and tried to make him drink it .
" See…i told you he is fine but you didn't believe me…how come you are this arrogant when you are the one who asked for my help…girl…you practically begged me…but i am willing to let it pass"
Adelita glared at him as if she was shoking him in her imaginationbut he smirked then added:" He is a big boy ..still …i took the piece i wanted"
Jivan then raised his hand in front of him and showed her a piece of skin he took from his hips and waved it towards Adelita
" You bastard….you took a piece of his skin…he was unconscious and yet you took advantage from him…you are sick man …and you need to be taken care of"
The smile didn't leave his face when said again:"Well i am going to use it wisely…my lovely disciple"
"Don't call me that "
" Then what should I call you ?"
**********
Two hours later, Isiah woke and there was Adelita waiting for him to regain his conscious, at first he opened his eyes immediately as a reflex and when he saw the ceiling in front of him he smiled automatically then said :" You weren't joking you old …you wild animal"
" And i took my payment too"'
" What payment are you talking about!"
" A piece of your skin"
" Whatttt!!! did you let him do this to me Adelita …i thought that you are at least going to save me while i am between his hands "
"
Adelita didn't say a word to change his mind or calm him down, but Jivan walked towards him and looked at him from above then said:" Little boy if you are able to see right now it is all because of me and my exquisite abilities, you should at least give me a moment of silence "
Isiah wanted to sit down but he couldn't because of the result of that spell, Adelita on the other hand took Jivan by the hand to her garden and said:" The thing is, you are ridiculous sometimes but you are helpful somehow when you want, i hate relying on someone like you but it is all i can do Jivan"
" Is this the thing you wanted to discuss two days ago ? i am a bit disappointed …i thought that you are going to confess your emotions to me but i was wrong…you are no the type of girl to do this"
"Jivan, if you don't stop being an ass i will kick you, believe me you creepy old dude"
" Okay okay…are you frightened, i never thought that you would be scared like this, you are a powerful a mage in this place and you can survive"
" Survive ! you don't know even what is happening around here, this place is going down and we are going down with it "
" Elaborate"
Adelita told him all what her colleague said so he smiled then said:" I expected this to happen for years …"
" You want me to save him right!!
