Chapter 80: A Good-for-Nothing?

"What?"

"Burst from overflow of magic?"

The two elders were scared out of their wits. Their little gem actually sustained such a sever injury! How could that be? What were they going to do now? She was a light magic wielder that hasn't been seen in centuries!

"Hmm. At that time, my parents were just overjoyed that I was safe and alive. With them are around to protect me, there wasn't a high chance of me needing to wield magic, anyways. However, they still found a medium for me to use, if the need ever arose. Unfortunately, I lost the Magic Wielding wand in the dark forest." Princess Qamari felt guilty as she span the lie.

It was a first time for her.

Lying and using her parents as a shield.

No matter how long it has been, the pain of mentioning her parents never got old. And neither did the empty void they left behind. The very thought of them sent a searing pain through her heart.

However, she had no choice. 

She didn't want to become a test subject, because that'll be her end, if the same incident occurred again.

Shaking her head, she pulled herself out of the despairing abyss, not wanting to lament about their disappearance at the moment.

"Elders, just now, the way the Stone Veins erratically changed colors and exploded remained me of what that miracle doctor said. Do you think the two might be related?" She asked with wide eyes.

The fear and worry in her eyes calmed the churning emotions of the elders. 

'Such a gifted child! How could she have such a terrible fate? Not even able to wield her heavens blessed magic? Or maybe she can...we just need to find a medium for her!' Elder Yun was convinced the girl would bring fame to the declining Sealand Academy.

As such, even if there was a tiny bit of hope, he was willing to cling to it.

"Do not worry, little princess. I will definitely find a way for you to wield your magic! You just need to take care of yourself until then. As for the talent evaluation, you do not need to retake it. We know you are light elemental ability wielder. We will just set your elemental and talent level as ordinary, green level, ok?" As he said this, elder Yun felt he was under-valuing the girl.

'Is that too low of an evaluation? After all, she is the only light magic wielder in the entire Sealand Academy. Moreover, she is a Marikeen prospective.'

However, Princess Qamari was satisfied with his evaluation.

The result the elder decided on was not too low to be scorned by those narrow-minded girls, and was just high enough for her to receive the best treatment in terms of training and nurturing.

More importantly, she did not have to undergo testing again.

"Yes elder. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

"Good. Good. Now, you go on with your senior brothers and learn your way around the academy. New apprentices first lesson starts early in the morning. Then, you will not have the time to search around. Remember, do not use your magic during your lessons. I will inform the same to your instructors so that they are aware, and won't give you a hard time."

"Yes, elder. Thank you for your care." Princess Qamari could feel the elder before her truly cared for her safety.

Whether it was due to her elemental ability or something else, she did not know.

For now, however, this much was enough.

After all, she did deceive them first.

Obediently nodding her head, she turned to the other silent elder. She found that compared to elder Yun, elder Kang was a lot quieter and closed off. Only occasionally responding or putting in words where he deemed necessary.

"Just follow elder Yun's instructions and wait. He will contact you as soon as he finds a medium for you to use." Feeling her gaze, elder Kang reassuringly advised.

"Yes, elder Kang."

"Alright! The testing for today ends here. The rest of the apprentices who have not tested yet, you should return tomorrow. By then, the second stone room will be back in order as well. However, you can all leave now!" Elder Yun dismissively waved his sleeves, no longer in the mood to oversee further evaluations.

He wanted to get started on searching for a medium for the little princess to use. Without further delay, he turned and disappeared.

His eyes blinking rapidly, elder Kang stared blankly at the now empty spot of elder Yun.

"Always so impatient." After a while, he sighed disapprovingly.

Nodding in farewell towards the similarly stunned Princess Qamari, he disappeared as well.

The white hall was now silent, filled with only the new apprentices and two senior brothers.

As speculators, the apprentices witnessed the interaction between Princess Qamari and the two elders. And of course, they similarly heard the juicy remark of the princess's inability to wield her magical ability.

Some felt pity, while more were pleased.

"Oh, my, heavens! The princess is handicapped! She cannot use her magical ability without an outside assistance." A mean cry broke the solemn atmosphere, drawing everyone's attention. 

They saw the speaker was Marui Osklain, again.

The crowd obediently spread out, making way for her. From the few brief encounters they witnessed between the three, they became aware of the other two Marikeen prospectives dislike for the princess.

Therefore, even though the apprentices wanted to stay out of the drama about to unfold, they were even more happy to enjoy the free entertainment.

Having been completely ignored by Princess Qamari previously, Marui Osklain's heart was still boiling with the humiliation she experienced and the mockery she felt.

Enraged, she was inspired to chase after the arrogant princess and give her three tight slaps across the face to vent her anger. But before she could reach her, the wench went to the two elders, instantly bursting her bubble.

She did not have the courage to pick a fight with another apprentice in front of the academy elders. In the end, she still desired to become a powerful magician and did not want to get expelled for her unruly behavior.

However, that did not lessen her hatred and resentment. Quiet the contrary, it grew. She now hated even the very mention of the wench's name.

As such, when she heard the disgusting wench's remark of not being able to use her magical ability, she was exhilarated.

She finally felt, for once, the heavens were on her side. They provided her with a way to shame the arrogant princess without dirtying her hands.

And so, the moment the two elders left, she was unable to restrain herself any longer. Shouting at the top of her lungs, she publicly announced the wench's good-for-nothingness.

"Now, I want to see how you will maintain your high and mighty attitude with a trash identity!"

Her purple eyes flashed with a malevolent light as she hissed darkly.

Princess Qamari sighed in resignation. It seemed the girl wasn't going to give up that easily.

'But I really don't want to get into a meaningless argument with this airhead.'

Princess Qamari admitted.

It made no sense to her to get entangled with someone she had nothing to gain from. Someone who she wasn't even interested in knowing. Therefore, she didn't want to lower herself to an immature girl's level.

She wanted to distance herself from any unnecessary trouble.

Looking around, she spotted the two seniors that were meant to show them around, walking towards her.

Not sparing the storming girl another glance, Princess Qamari turned on her heels and left before the girl could reach her.

It was more bearable to endure the stares of the irritating guys, than to engage in a senseless argument. 

"Seniors, elder Yun told me the two of you would be showing us around the academy ground. Can we go now? We would like to know which buildings our lessons will take place." Princess Qamari sensed the girl's burning glare on her back, but took no action to acknowledge it.

She was free to ahead and stare all she wanted. What could she do to her? It was fine if she wanted to be a clown for the crowd, but Princess Qamari was not interested in joining her.

"Trash, you want to know where your first lesson will be tomorrow? What is that going to do? Can you even use magic?" Un-resigned, Marui took a jab at the princess that was obviously avoiding her on purpose.

'Coward!' 

She hated Princess Qamari with a burning passion. A passion she never even realized she had before. She herself did not know why she hated the wench so much!

Maybe because she overshadowed her in everything.

"Seniors, are we going or...?" Her voice was still calm as always. However, there was now an imperceptible edge to it. A silent edge only the people facing her sharp aura could detect.

"Yes, we are going. First years, gather up. We will be taking you on a tour around the academy." Teng Wang was the first to response, his blue eyes flashing bright as he hollered.

The apprentices that were expecting to watch an entertaining drama, but were left feeling disappointed, immediately gathered around the three individuals.

"Coward." The quiet whisper entered her ear as Princess Qamari nonchalantly turned to follow the leading seniors.

"What a fool."
