"It is her!" The horrific shriek belonged to Aarya Quime, who froze with wide eyes and open jaw, shocked senseless.

"It is Princess Qamari!" This voice was filled with excitement and joy, the owner seemingly pleased with the princess garnering everyone's attention.

"She is the other Marikeen prospective, right? The one with the most likely chance of becoming a Marikeen?" Elder Yun's eyes were sparkling like two pieces of jewels, their scorching glare too fierce to hide from.

"Yes, as far as I heard from Elder Wu." Elder Kang complacently looked at the girl in the stone room.

Under the shocked and astonished scrutiny of the crowd, Princess Qamari's indifferent expression remained inscrutable, not faltering for even a second. The complicated folds of purple-red robe fluttered behind her, the long silver fabric underneath pooling around her feet. The silver-purple loop chain around her waist tinkled charmingly like a wind-chime, its many pearls swaying on an unnatural wind.

"I can't believe its her." Rong Li's voice was subdued, barely audible within the buzz of excited chatters and hushed whispers. 

Yet, Teng Wang was still able to hear him. The unconcealed awe and confusion forming in his eyes, unmistakable.

If he was just a little interested in the girl before, getting a bit displeased with her attitude, she now had his full attention. A strange gleam appeared in his eyes and the unnatural possessiveness made his body tremble.

Such Rong Li, made Teng Wang anxious.

'I can't allow Rong Li to get close to her. I have stop him from approaching her at all cost. Otherwise, I will lose before even beginning the chase.'

Fists tightly clenched, he raised his head back in her direction.

She was indescribable. 

No words seemed fit to describe her otherworldly beauty. Even with the veil covering her face, the obsidian black hair falling to her knees, violet-purple eyes exuding a mysterious silver glow, and purple-red robe fluttering silently within the rubble of stones only enhanced her ethereal beauty.

No matter how much he looked, he felt as if it was not enough.

"Why is it you?"

The nasty snarl broke out from within the crowd. The apprentices immediately drew aside, making clear indication of their disassociation with the speaker. In the next instant, the yellow garbed figure of a girl appeared in everyone's line of view.

There was a nasty sneer on the girl's face. Her haughty and arrogant persona displeasing many of the surrounding girls.

"What does she wants to do now?" Rin asked her friend apprehensively.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's to grab everyone's attention. Even though her own evaluation is already completed, she won't be able to stand still after witnessing Princess Qamari's evaluation." Stali whispered distastefully.

She did not like this Marui Osklain, or even Aarya Quime. Strangely, the two were both Marikeen prospectives that she felt a strong dislike for. Their aura, attitude, way of speaking with others, and self-centered personality rubbed her the wrong way.

'I hope she will not go too far with her attention grabbing drama.'

She inwardly hoped, hoping for her to either return or greet amiably. 

Marui Osklain did not expect the person behind the strange phenomenon to be the princess she hated most. But then again, she could not think of anyone else that would steal her limelight aside from the former.

She felt she needed to give a piece of her mind to this princess, otherwise, she would never be able to swallow down the feeling of being walked all over.

However, before she could even open her mouth, the princess in the rubble moved and walked right past her.

Princess Qamari was really not in the mood for a jealousy drama. Anyone with eyes could see the nasty looking girl had nothing good in mind, so why would she waste her time listening to her nonsense?

Without any hesitation, she ignored the later, and walked away. 

"Snow, what just happened there? Why did the Stone Veins shatter?" She spiritually communicated with the white tiger in her arms.

"Girl, your guess is as good as mine. Even though I was an immortal spirit in my last life, I never had much communication with the human world. In our beast realm, things such as stone vein testing did not exist. But if I were to make a guess, I would probably infer that your magical powers are beyond the capacity the stone could bear and test. Hence, the reason why it shattered."

Snow could not think of any other explanation for the sudden explosion of the stones. Considering the fact she was even able to form a spiritual bond with her without her consent, Princess Qamari's magical ability was definitely not weak.

So, the only weak link could be the Stones Veins.

"I suggest you not to retest yourself. If the same incident happens again, the higher-ups in the academy will come to know the problem is with you. This will draw a high degree of unwanted attention to you, perhaps some not even good." Snow thoughtfully advised.

"Hmm, I know." Even if Snow had not pointed out, Princess Qamari was not planning on retesting. True she wanted to know why the Stone Veins shattered, but she was not so brainless as to invite trouble for herself.

Sometimes, remaining obscure was better than being in the light.

"Elders, the Stone Veins shattered. How are we going to complete my talent evaluation now?" Arriving before the two elders, she asked in a concerned voice.

She still needed to put up a front. Otherwise, she might draw the suspicion rather than support of the people present.

Elder Yun carefully observed the girl before him. He thought of the brilliant bright light she emitted before the explosion of the Stone Veins.

'A light magic wielder!'

He could not suppress his excitement. In the history of the seven realms, it has been centuries since a light magic wielder was last seen. If the other six academies found out about it, they would go green with envy.

An image of the six academies freezing in shock and astonishment at the academy competitions appeared in his head. The jealousy and envy on in their eyes, inflating his ego and rising his spirit.

Without warning, elder Yun broke out into a mad laughter.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

'Our Sealand Academy will no longer be in the shadows! We have a chance of grabbing the limelight this year. The last place academy in the academy competitions will finally astound the other six academies.'

"Hahahaha!"

Elder Kang watched the madly howling elder Yun with understanding and similar glee in his eyes. He too, felt excited about the prospect of astonishing the realms with one single feat.

Recruiting a light magic wielder.

The two elders surrounded the stunned Princess Qamari, concernedly questioning her without end.

"Little princess, how are you feeling now? Did you receive any backlash or injury from the Stone Veins explosion?" Elder Yun was anxious, fearing the very thought of his little gem being injured.

"Uh? No, no. I did not receive any backlash. Just slightly dizzy."

From your sudden shift in personalities and unrestrained attention, she critiqued in her head.

"You must let us know if you are in any discomfort. You cannot hide it from us, understand?"

"Ah, yes. You don't need to worry elders. But what about my talent evaluation? The Stone Veins shattered, should I test myself in the other stone room? Aye, I knew something like this was going to happen." She sighed with a sorrowful look in her eyes, seeming as if she carried all the burden and pain of the world on her shoulders.

"You knew? What do you mean by you knew?" Elder Yun, seeing the despondent look in his little gem's eyes felt uneasy. His voice was lower than that of a mosquito's now. 

'It could not be! Could it really be...?'

He was on pins and needles as he shifted his weight from foot to foot, trying not to rush the girl, but feeling impatient. 

"Yes, what do you mean by you knew?" Elder Kang was similarly worried, ill at ease with the words that came out of her mouth.

'In the end, what could it be?'

The two elders felt their muscles tight with tension as they clenched their fists, cold sweat sliding down their backs.

"Aye, I never wanted to talk about this. But since there is no other choice, I will hide anything from you, elders." Sighing again, she continued in a painful voice.

"When I was little, I encountered an ambush. In that ambush, I got injured so severely that everyone thought I was not going to make it. However, a miracle doctor appeared and he saved my life with great difficulty. Unfortunately, the doctor gave a piece of shocking news before leaving." Her purple eyes flashed with a silver radiance, a faint smile visible within its violet orbs.

However, she broke into sorrowful tears, the warm liquid sliding down her face, before fading into her purple-red veil.

"Shocking news? What shocking news?" The two elders shrieked together, almost losing control from the unbearable anxiety.

"The shocking news that I would not be able to wield magic. And if one day I do happen to wield it, it would be in a very unstable state. I would not be able to manifest or use my magical ability without an outside aid.. If I do, the chances of me instantly bursting from the overflow of the magic would be high."
