"Yeah, How much?" He asked again, His tone slashed a sarcastic tone. Long prominent hands softly brushing on hers. She turned her gaze at the right owner. Another wave of rush went through her body and escalated her heartbeats wilder at his mere touch. He slowly travelled his gaze at her and planted a short smile with his hazel-green pair blinking for assurance. He strode his fingers over her palms and tapped on to them slowly. Suddenly she was feeling her heartbeats tearing down. Ella could've blasted herself up from inside with his sudden touch but rather his warmth on her hand and his hold over her eyes offered her stability.
"Are you going to answer?" Mr Samuel raised his voice a little. She propelled a gaze at Kellen and then focused on her Guru.
"I…uhh. I wasn't able to find my true source, so Kellen and I…" The moment she mentioned his name he passed his soft gaze on her and they exchanged a look at each other. "We... Actually, he tried duelling our powers and it worked. Now, Thanks to him I was able to find my true source and now I can generate my takt too." She smiled widely at him and then at Mr Samuel. On the contrary, the cape wrapped man seems to be a good listener at this part.
Isla gawked her eyes at the duo with a mischievous smile running down her lips. She smiled till her cheeks were touching the crease of her eyes while she naughtily glanced at Ella. "Wow, you guys are totally perfect for Duo Test and you make quite the good couple for it." She winked at her friend but found Aubrey glaring at both of them with disgust over her face.
"I meant for the duo." The auburn haired beauty shook her head and looked away. Ella felt the heat over her cheeks driving her fast towards embarrassing her till she felt Kellen's deep thrilling gaze at her.
His eyes were trying to read her expression. Isla making the joke of them being a couple couldn't be more than a casual joke for others but for Kellen he was more careful about how Ella took this joke.
He inspected her tinted face and saw her beaming a smile at him. His face softened after seeing her carefree smile and then his lips turned up where his teeth flashed cheekily at his group. 'She isn't uncomfortable with the teasing' He thought.
"Wow, that's amazing. '' They heard some students whispering among them as they do kinda find it surprising. Kellen's face became shy with the praise and the student's talks. It looked like he was blushing while he did his nervous act again. But instead his mere flush was due to Ella's carefree smile which had no idea how painted over his face.
Mr Samuel was occasionally not much relieved by Ella's answers before but today his eyes stated a feeling of an impressive touch. It made her in some way pleased.
She again pondered her attention at Kellen who was all eyes and ears to the definite praises he got. He was still shy from the sudden praises but Ella felt good standing beside him and getting some praises for the first time. Even though some of them envied her state, the vanilla-scented beauty couldn't bring herself to hate them as they too wanted to feel such attention for themselves.
'Maybe praises are good because it gives you a bit of encouragement to move forward and keep going on like that.' She thought.
The crystal scoffed after hearing the praises.
"To go into the dark realm and have control of its power, one must say true things.
Words won't have the power to source unless their actions matched with their words.
If their actions and their words are true, then the gate to the dark realm will be unlocked. After the dark realm has let the successor inside, one must answer the questions from the realm of their facets
And as I stayed inside your true facet I can see that your hidden truth needs to be unmasked."
