Capítulo 88: Just Do As I Say
Gallert steps into the ring and smile to the man which is now wiping his nosebleed with his handkerchief.
"Your word, Master Heath?"
Glancing at the old white-beard man, he said "You see the result. She gonna train with me, privately." He said and leave the ring.
Gallert once again smiling to hear that. He then snaps his finger and all of them back to the room from before. Rachael also already calm down a bit. It just a weird feeling that she suddenly felt in her heart. However, she can't confirm it.
"We move to the last student. Hmm, Miss Ning Zhi?"
Ning Zhi nods her head. "Yes."
"So, for your course..oh? You decide to choose Pheromone course?" Gallert blinks his eyes a few times. For him, it was considered weird to choose a weak course. Unlike the two of her friend who chooses a core course in his Academy. However, it was King order to provide what they choose.
Ning Zhi once again nods her head. "Yes." She looks at all of the five-person who sit on the sofa. They look a bit surprised by her choice.
'Hm? Why? Did I do something wrong?' She then turns to look at Rachael and Zoro, both of them also shrugged their shoulder. Not knowing why they looked so surprised.
"If you sure then, I shall call this Master to come to join us now. He's unaware of this news." Gallert clearing his throat a little and signaling his men to call the person.
A few minutes later, a knocking on the door makes the three of them turn to look at the door. A man with a slight curl hair and had three piercings on his ear enters the room. His body frame looks frail like a girl, but he's tall. His complexion is fair and supple, also looks like a girl.
"Are you looking for me, principal?" The man said. His voice sounds so soft, another impression that leads the assumption 'like a girl'. Ning Zhi feels at ease. 'A gay? That's better than the masked man over there.'
"Yes, Master Azure. There is a special application which I will discuss with you in private, later. And here is the student. Miss Ning Zhi." Gallert introduces him to Ning Zhi. Both of them exchanging the smile before they handshake.
"Master Azure, can you provide a test now which is not including a magic material and safe for the student?"
"Sure, Principal Gallert. To my forest then." He said politely.
With the given location, Gallert snaps his finger and all of them are now in the middle of the forest behind the Academy. Still inside the Academy ground, though.
"Eeuuw...I hate this kind of place. Since I have no use here, may I excuse myself, principal?" One of the Master said. She wore a quite nice dress for today's occasion.
Nod his head, Gallert gives her permission to dismiss from this place. Leaving only a few Master behind. They stay because they want to know what is so special of this student that even the King himself given order to give them special treatment to enter this Academy.
The man named Azure then went to the back of the small house and he brings out a bucket of meat inside it.
"Ning Zhi, your test is simple. See there." He pointing his finger to one of the ranches where there are a huge bird and half horse inside the wooden fence.
"It's his mealtime. If you can succeed to feed him, then I accept you as my student." He looks at her with a charming smile.
While Ning Zhi already trembles a bit. "Oh god..a Hippogriff?" She mutters slowly while taking the bucket from that man.
"Oh? You know what creature is that?" He's a bit glad.
"Mm..isn't that one in Harry Potter's movie?"
Zoro chuckles a bit hearing Ning Zhi's obsession still intact even in her frightening moment.
"What Potter?" Azure scrunch his eyebrow a bit.
"Err..nothing." Ning Zhi turns slightly crimson when she noticed how blunt she is.
Inhale, she slowly went to the Hippogriff ranch and once she steps in, the Hippogriff widens his wing and run around inside the ranch making Ning Zhi shrank at the corner of the wooden fence.
"Oh god, oh god, don't kill me…bird..no, horse..?" She mumbling while slowly took another step forward.
"Brrruughhh.." The grunting sound makes Ning Zhi tremble. Her heartbeat was faster than usual. Her face also slightly turn pale.
The Hippogriff still running around inside the ranch. Its look like he was a bit frantic about something. Like he was scared but at the same time, he feels like intimidating by something.
Azure who notice this occurrence, furrow his eyebrow and tilt his head a bit. He still wants to observe what triggered his Hippogriff like that. He never pecked on people and quite benign too.
But today, he seems a bit off. Is it because the one who steps into his ranch is a girl who he never saw before? Or is it something else?
Each step Ning Zhi took feels like years. She almost drained of her blood when she steps closer to the creature.
"Easy..easy..bird.." She stuttering and slowly she raises up her hand and closes her eyes.
'I saw this scene in Harry Potter's movie, supposedly it will work, right?'
The Hippogriff slowly walks to her and tilt its head right and left. "Easy…bird.." She muttered again.
She put the bucket on the ground and took the meat inside the bucket with her closed eyes. 'Euw euw…what meat is this?' she gulps a bit.
Shivering, she shoves the meat in front of her. "Here birdy…eat your lunch.."
At the outside of the wooden fence, Azure giggling a bit. "She called my Hippo baby, birdy?"
The Hippogriff pecked on the meat that she shoves and pulls it hard (She did not release the meat from her hand) making Ning Zhi almost trip.
Splat.
The meat's blood that splatting on her face making she frowned and feel a bit nausea. "Oh god." She could smell the foul odor starting to make her stomach want to vomit.
She slowly opens her eyes and wipes the blood off from her face. The Hippogriff is already run away with the half meat he takes from her.
Ning Zhi peeks a little inside the bucket and sees what kind of meat that man give her. Once she saw it, her mouth wide open and she gasps loudly before she throws the other half meat away from her and kicks the bucket too.
"Eeuw! Eeuw! Eeuw!" She feels so grossed when seeing a bunch of dead giant rat inside it as the meal.
Clunk!! The sound of the bucket hit the wooden fence make the Hippogriff suddenly in shock.
The Hippogriff then runs wildly to her and ready to attack her. Azure who notice it, immediately jump inside the ranch and shield her with his magic. "Barrier."
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! The Hippogriff claw hit the magic shield.
"Hippo! Stop it!" He yelled at the Hippogriff who suddenly turn aggressive.
Zoro and Rachael also shocked at the same time. They want to help, but later a group of Hippogriff flying, coming from nowhere and surrounding them and attacking only at the magic shield where Ning Zhi and Azure was under it.
The Master from other courses already ready to attack and save them but then, Azure shout from the crowd.
"Don't!"
Ning Zhi already felt like her life is near the end. "I'm sorry." She utters it slowly.
"Not your fault," Azure said and he exhales a bit.
"Close your eyes. Your eyes are the cause of what bring these creatures to attack you, phoenix." He whispers to her and his last word makes Ning Zhi's eyes turn a bit wider.
"How.."
"Just do as I say."
Ning Zhi shut her eyes tightly. Azure stand up and let out a few of his emblem forming in the sky on all direction of these creatures.
"Sleep," Azure said and within a second, his emblem shining into light blue color and the light turns into sparkling dust fall on the creatures that make them slowly fall into the ground one by one.
Until the last one of them sleep soundly on the ground only then he breaks the shield magic.
