Helen gave him the same look and flicked her hand. Her spear appeared and she threw it upward without any poise. Three fruits fell down but she only managed to catch one while maintaining her balance. Madel woke up when a fruit hit her head. As the fruit fell on the ground it was squashed.
She looked at their hand and saw them eating.
"your done with your practice?" she asked.
After a little chat, Henry asked Madel to show francis how she picks fruit. They had been eating Madel's fruit boxes for a long time, but they never got the chance to witness how she picks them. Thinking that she does not have a zhenqi and is not a cultivator, they were all wondering how does she do it. But since Madel has a very sharp eyes, and accurate aim, they concluded that she must have used that skill to pick fruits.
"Me? I dont know how to pick fruits." She said honestly.
"oh, so who's the one picking all the fruits?" Helen asked.
"my friends, they do it when they have the time." She said.
Madel looked at the fruits above them and looked at them eating.
"Oh it looks so tasty." She said.
Before Henry could tell her to starve if she cant pick her own fruit. Small winged creatures who were flyng around the tree took a fruit and gently placed it on Madel's empty fruit box. They were the sprites which was cured by Madel the other day.
Madel's eyes brightened showing her glee.
"Thank you, sprites. I appreciate it very much." She said happily.
The sprites wagged their tale as if they understood Madel. They then flew away.
"You can talk to animals?" Francis asked while looking at them.
"they are my friends." Madel smiled.
"No, just her." Henry said while pointing to Madel.
Madel wanted to eat the fruit but it was big. She hesitated if she will eat it because of her veil. Cheska and Henry finally understood some parts about Madel. Her carefree attitude, her demeanor, her grace and her innocence. All her life she lived with animals. There was no treachery, no fight for inheritance or power, no pretense. Her grace came from the harmony within her heart. She must have been poor but the nature cared for her.
"It's a rare talent, there was a planet where I visited once where a tribe of animal whisperers lived. It runs in their genes." Francis said.
Both Henry and Madel were puzzled with the word gene, but Cheska and Helen was very familiar with it. It was hard to explain it to other people, but Henry and Madel understood it immediately.
Henry, divided the task in making an herb garden, he assigned everyone to bring different types of herbs once their soil was prepared. Because it was prohibited to bring their own personal maid in the school, they must do things on their own. Although personal guards are allowed, they cannot help the students in any school related task.

"Damn it!" the green robed man slammed his hands.
This time the prince of shadows did the work. Sensing the dark aura looming over the city, he eliminated all of the shadows who were coming after Helen, Cheska and Henry.
"Send the headquarters a report about this. Let's see what that Prince can do when the envoys comes here." He said grimly. [If he wants war, then I will give him one.] he gritted his teeth with anger.
