Five whole days have passed, Soheila and the two cute little spirit beasts arrived at the north. In front of them is a huge wall with a big gate and ten knights on each side.
Soheila never thought that the city entrance would look like this because she imagined that the first thing she will see is a bunch of luxurious house and store while it will be crowded instead what shows up is knights guarding the gates and you need to pass by them is first to go inside the gate.
Soheila and the two others went along to the people lining up to successfully pass the gate. It is good that when they got here, it's still early so the line is not that long.Soheila can feel the strong aura of the people's cultivation, furthermore while traveling from the forest and here, Soheila never forget to absorb the spirit energy surrounding them, she is now at the Rank Yellow Advance Level. It took her ten days to advance from Yellow Intermediate Level to Yellow Advance Level.
After some time, it is Soheila's turn to go inside the gate however, the Knights stopped her.
“Are you new here, kid?” One of the knights asked.
Soheila nodded, she felt there's no animosity from his voice instead it is calm and yet had a slight baby voice probably because Soheila is at the age of fifteen.
“Enjoy your trip, little kid.” The same knight said with a smile. The knights in his back also smiled and let her passed.
Soheila smiled a little and didn't say anything just went past them. Sylvie is beside Soheila while Little Black is laying on her left shoulder since he is small. They are very obedient and quietly just followed Soheila.
“It is pretty here and lively,” Soheila said when she saw that every side had different houses and stores. It is not too crowded because the street is wide.
There's a bakery store, weapon store, spirit beasts store, and restaurants. A food cart is also on the side of the road with a candy cart alongside it.“Of course, Master! The majority of the people here is having good nature.” Little Black said.
“I see, well come let's eat some skewers.” Soheila walked to the food cart beside the candy cart. Soheila saw a handsome man standing inside the food card. However, It is not as handsome as the man she saw in the forest. The man is standing inside the food cart so, it's sure that he's the vendor. The vendor looks like a seventeen-year-old boy, and he is more handsome with his eyeglasses on, and his dark eyebrows that match his look, however, Soheila is now immune to good looks since the time he saw the man in the forest.
“Hi, little one! What would you like?” The Vendor said with a smile. The smile made him more handsome, but it is nothing to Soheila. “I suggest you buy this Sausage with Bacon Skewers or Chicken, Bacon and Ranch Skewers.” He continued while pointing to the food he mentioned.
Both of the food he pointed out looks tasty and smells good. On the corner, it said 10 silver for 2 pieces of skewers, for 1 gold coin it is equivalent to 1,000 silver coins since Soheila doesn't have any silver coins, she will use 1 gold coin for it.
“I would like to have them both... here,” Soheila said and tossed out a gold coin.
The vendor was shocked when he saw a piece of gold coin. He never thought that the kid in front of him is rich. But he composed himself and smiled again.“How many does our little one want?” Though he was shocked, he has one problem, and that is he doesn't have enough change.
“100 each will do,” Soheila said while she's looking at the skewers. She didn't notice the shocked face of the Vendor and the two little spirit beasts with her.
“Are you sure?” The Vendor asked carefully. He wanted to make sure that the little one in front of him isn't joking. If this little one is not joking it will be good for him because he can rest early.
Soheila lift her head up and looked at the Vendor's eyes, she knew what he was thinking, and just nodded and smiled to assure him. That look made the Vendor embarrassed but still maintained his smile.
The Vendor started to pack a hundred each of the skewers he mentioned a while ago. After he neatly packed the skewers, he said thank you to Soheila.
Soheila just nodded and said thank you to the Vendor. And before she walks away, she asked the Vendor where is the nearest inn.
“The nearest inn? Ahh! The nearest inn is beside the MonTrein Restaurant.” The Vendor answered. Soheila thanked the vendor again and walk away.
“The MonTrein Restaurant?! Master, they cook delicious food in that restaurant, but I never knew that the huge house beside it is an inn because I'm only focused on the food.” Little Black said while dreaming about eating there. He can only look because he's a spirit beast, so, he is excited when he heard about that restaurant again.
“Really? How about you, Sylvie? Did you hear about it too? Well, let's eat there someday.”
“No, Master, I never heard about the MonTrein Restaurant since I was focused on the Auction House.” Sylvie loves to watch people bidding while Little Black loves the food. Soheila knew from Sylvie that the Small spirit beast is allowed to watch inside the Auction House.
“Eh? Okay, Little Black lead the way.” Soheila ordered and put down Little Black from her left shoulder. Little Black obediently followed the order from Soheila, his Master.
“Yes! Of course! Of course!” The cute Little Black said with excitement in his voice. Little Black's big, bright eyes are shining like a diamond. Little Black is excited that made him run fast even though his small. Soheila and Sylvie ran along with him but made him run slower.
The other people passed by them looked at Soheila and the two cute little beasts whose laughing while running. Some people think they are just new and excited to explore while the others think they are an attention seeker, however, who the hell cares about other people think? They should mind their own business.
“Hihihi I'm excited, Master! Can we eat there after we sell the pills??” Little Black asked eagerly. He really wanted to taste the cooked food in MonTrein Restaurant since he saw that there are a lot of people who went in but takes too long to get out of the restaurant.
“Yeah, sure, sure. First, we need to go to an Inn so, that we can eat early in MonTrein Restaurant.” Soheila said with a smile on her face when she saw the small black furball jumping excitedly while Sylvie on the side is looking forward to the food this Little Black kept on mentioning restaurant.
Soheila finally arrived at the Inn after several minutes of running, but it doesn't make her energy drain instead it makes her more energetic because this is the first start of her Journey.
The Inn's outer look looks beautiful, and it is obvious that the Inn is well clean. Soheila went inside, and her eyes met the Innkeeper whose at the counter. She walked towards the Innkeeper and the two cute little spirit beasts followed from behind.
The Innkeeper saw that someone is approaching and smile a little before saying,“Guests, I'm sorry but the inn's room is fully booked.” He said with an apologetic smile.The Innkeeper thought that the beautiful girl in front of him will make a fuss, but he thought wrong. Soheila's attitude remained calm with a slight smile on her face. The Innkeeper was pleased with the young girl's attitude.“Innkeeper, may I ask if I can share a room with someone? With a girl, of course.” Soheila's calm voice rang on the Innkeeper's ears.
“A girl 1 or 2 years older than you booked the last room awhile ago, she seems like a nice girl, and I can ask her.” The Innkeeper smiled. He knew that the young girl in front is new here and may have traveled long to come here.
Soheila now sees that the majority of the citizens here are nice.
The Innkeeper held a crystal blue ball, this crystal blue ball is a microphone. When the Innkeeper talked to the crystal blue ball, the Innkeeper's voice rang in the room of the girl who booked the last room.
When the girl in the room heard the Innkeeper's words, she immediately agreed since it is a girl and the Innkeeper said the girl whose going to share a room with her is had a nice attitude.
The Innkeeper announced to Soheila that the girl agreed to her request.
Soheila smiled which makes her face more beautiful, although it was not her real appearance at least it still looks good.
“I would have to thank you, Innkeeper,” Soheila said with a smile.
“No problem, here's the key and the number of the room.” The Innkeeper pulls out a bronze key with a tag on it that has numbers on it, he placed the key and the tag on Soheila's hands.
“Thank you, Innkeeper.” Soheila thanked and walked to the broad stairs since the room number they gave her is 312 and it is on the second floor.
Soheila reached the second floor in a minute and searched the number of the room.
308... 309... 310... 311... and they're at the right corner of the hall is the 312 room.
She knocked first before inserting the key to the lock. Just as Soheila pushed the door to open, a girl opened it immediately.
The girl who opened the door was shocked when she saw the appearance of the certain someone who knocked. Soheila too was shocked but didn't show it and remain calm face.
The girl in front of Soheila is the one she saved from the forest. She's the girl who almost died from the hands of the spirit beast with a level of a Three-Star Beast.
The girl composed herself and apologized immediately for blocking the way. The girl moved away and Soheila finally went in with her two cute little spirit beasts who confused why the girl is shocked.Soheila looked around the room that as big as the condominium on Earth.
The room had four windows, two on each side while in the middle there's a door to the balcony. On the Windows side, there's a wall and door hang on it and it is probably the room with a bed. The living room is a simple yet elegant room, it only has a wide white sofa that had a gold rose design on it, and in front is a small round table on top of it is a vase with a yellow flower. Facing the sofa is a big hologram that probably the television here on Svetlana. The kitchen had a long counter that sticks the sink and the stove while on the corner is where the utensils at. It is good that in this world, there's a modern stove in it and the design is a little similar to the modern kitchen. The dining room is besides only to the kitchen, inside it has a long oval wooden table with eight chairs on it.
“The bedroom on the right is mine, you can have the bedroom on the left.” The girl said while looking at Soheila's calm face. She would never believe that a fifteen-year-old is as calm as the ocean if she didn't witness it herself.
“Okay, thank you by the way for agreeing to let me share a room with you.” Soheila finally looked at the girl and smiled sincerely. The two cute little spirit beasts sat on the sofa when Soheila started to look around the room. These two little spirit beasts are too lazy to move around that's why they just sat on the sofa and look around using their eyes quietly.
The girl smiled and nodded to Soheila as she watch her walk towards the left room.Inside the left room, the floor and the wall is white while the ceiling is black. The bed's size is quite big, and it's in the middle. One small counter on each side, while beside the door is a table with a mirror on it. On the left wall, there's a door and a big cabinet. The door is the way to go to the bathroom. On the right walls, there's a huge window that could see the view outside which are the people walking and running. The bedroom is simple, but the bed is soft and fluffy same as the pillows.Soheila wanted to rest, and just sleep for 72 hours.Suddenly, a knock disturbed her wish to rest. Soheila walk towards the door and open it.She opened the door, and the neck of the girl whom she had saved, and the two cute little spirit beasts appeared on her eyesight.“Yes?” Soheila asked in confusion.
Suddenly, the lights on the auction reduced, and a tall man walked from the back of the stage, and stand at the center of the small stage. The tall man had a big, bright smile on his face that makes him handsome. He was wearing a black suit, and a black shoes, and he's holding a long solid black stick. He looks more like a magician back on earth instead of an auctioneer.“What a lovely evening! Welcome everyone to the auction. After a quite long wait, the auction has finally begun! I wonder that everyone here is excited just like me, Klark Oz!” Klark Oz smiled.Everyone was excited as they all screamed as an agreement.Klark Oz watched the reaction and said, “A friendly reminder again to everyone that a highly ranked guard stand on every corner of the auction. Once we all start, and your auction is unsuccessful, you cannot create a ruckus here!”After he finished his 'fr
Soheila is in closed-door cultivation in her room for ten whole days straight. Sylvie and Little Black just prepared food for her, and place it outside the door, afraid that they'll disturb her. Sirene was surprised that Soheila would be in closed-door cultivation, that only means she will have her breakthrough soon. The first time she saw her, Soheila was just at the Yellow Rank Intermediate level. But soon, she will be at the Peak level! What a monster is she! As if breaking through is like drinking water. To breakthrough at the Yellow Rank Peak level, it will take them months or worse years. But Soheila seems to breakthrough after half a month! Sirene right now is at Yellow Rank Novice level, she will advance soon in a month or perhaps for the next 10 days. Ten days have passed, Soheila finally opened her eyes. She can feel that she had a breakthrough since she can feel her strength grow stronger. She checked her Rank for a moment and
“Do you want to go somewhere?” Sirene asked Soheila who is now beside her. Sirene was no shock when she found out that Soheila had two attributes. In fact, she expected it since Soheila is talented. She can feel all the gazes of the people present, so, she wants to get away as soon as possible. “Yep, sure,” Soheila said, and didn't awkward to all the gaze that had been watching her every step. Soheila got used to this ever since she was ten years old because of the beauty that made her a famous model. But she saw that Sirene is uncomfortable, so, she agreed. “Let's go buy skewers! We didn't get to have breakfast and lunch, so, I'm hungry. What about you?” Sirene said as she held her flat tummy and rubbing it. “Same to me as well, obliviously. Let's go!” Soheila answered as she and Sirene walked out of the Golden gate. “Phew!” Sirene sighed in relief when she felt no one is gazing at them. “Just five minutes and I b
“You go with the rice.” Soheila said to Sirene. When Sirene heard this, her eyes lit up, and said excitedly, “Sure! Sure! Ahh, rice!” Sirene still remembered how delicious it is to partner rice with a skewer. Rice was common, but they never partner rice with a dish. “I'll cook Pork Chop with Mushrooms, Black Pepper Cube Steaks & Mushroom Cream, Beef Mushroom, and Mushroom Soup,” Soheila said as she took out a big pot, pans, and other utensils. “I'll help after cooking rice. Although I don't know the other dish you mentioned, you can guide me.” Sirene smiled as she prepared to cook rice. Soheila smiled and nodded. She took out seven boneless pork chops that she got last time for killing a spirit beast. Soheila took out a mushroom and sliced it elegantly and gracefully in smaller pieces. After doing that, she put the boneless pork chop in a cooker, and add spirit energy to it since it will take them hours to be cooked if there's none. Meanw
“Students, I, Jack Gretz, the assistant of the Dean will hereby announce that tomorrow would be your rest day, and tomorrow morning your schedule would arrive in your dorm.” A voice rang on Soheila's ears, same to her roommates. Soheila didn't find it weird because this world is full of magic, so, it's expected that they have those kinds of things. They guessed that it is a treasure of the Academy for them to easily passed the message to the students. Perhaps that was the middle-aged man for stage who announced. Soheila took a deep breath, and let out the two spirit beasts who kept on shouting for them to get out through using the spiritual contract. It was too loud as if her brain was cracked because of their shout. Soheila can't concentrate to think about her next plan, the noise is quite annoying, so, she let the two spirit beasts out. “Ahh! Thank you, master!” Little black shouted again. He smilingly hopped of the soft
“Still far for me to breakthrough. It might take me two weeks. The spirit energy here is really thin, but I should have fun while getting stronger.” In the morning, Soheila opened her eyes and checked her rank level only to see that she's far from her breakthrough. While Soheila was in deep thought, a noise came from her tummy. She looked at the window on her side. “It's morning already. I guess that's why I'm quite hungry. I cultivated peacefully that I didn't notice that it's morning ” She hopped off her bed, and said, “My six roommates should be resting now. It would be a shock if until now they are still talking in the living room. I wonder where are my two spirit beasts.” The door made a creek sound when Soheila opened it. Soheila went straight to the kitchen as she couldn't feel any aura in the living room instead, she could feel that they're now separated, unlike the last time she saw them as they were together.
“Thanks for the food.” Soheila smiled at Sirene. Sirene smiled back. “No problem!” “By the way, Soheila, What's your attributes?” Hector asked Soheila as he saw that she's not busy anymore. “Me? Fire and Lighting, nothing special.” Soheila said calmly. “What? Nothing special?!” Sirene said emphasizing the word ‘nothing.’ “Yes, my attributes are not rare.” Soheila bluntly said. They were really taken aback by Soheila when they heard how bluntly she said that. Zachary coughed two times. “Soheila, lighting, Ice, light, dark attributes are rare. So, your attribute is rare.” Soheila put her hand in her chin and asked confusedly, “What did you say? Lighting is a rare attribute? If that's rare then, why does Ezekiel have one? Same as the light and ice attributes, I heard you guys talked about attributes yesterday.” They all looked at each other and wanted to laugh, but stopped as the
