The Legendary Master Searches for His Bride
One
It was another new session at school.
However, I've always hated going to school.
Well, it wasn’t that I was being bullied at school.
It was just because I hated being unable to show my true self. Most because I always pretend to be a shy girl, which I’m not.
My mother constantly reminds me that being a quiet person will prevent trouble from heading towards you. However, it never worked for me. In fact, it got much worse.
Belia (FL)
*rubbing head in pain*
In the distance afar, were a group of boys playing on the football field.
Seeing that the ball had hit a student, one of the boys headed over.
Student
Hey, you should watch where you’re heading to. Don’t you have an eye or what?
He leaned down and picked up the ball that had just hit me.
Belia (FL)
*Mumbling under breath* What a farce. It’s you who should watch where you are aiming at.
Student
*Glared at me fiercely* What did you say?
Belia (FL)
*Shaking my head in fear* Nothing
Belia (FL)
I’ll watch out where I’m heading next time.
Belia (FL)
*run away in fear*
Seeing me, Ivy rushed towards me and clasped my hands with her.
Ivy
*In smile* You came to school today. I thought you wouldn’t.
Out of everyone closest to me, only Ivy, my best friend understands me best.
Belia (FL)
And here I am. Let go of my hand. Why is your palm so sweaty?
*said with repulsion, taking my hand away from hers*
Two
Ivy didn’t seem mind my attitude and looked at me worriedly.
Ivy
Huh-huh, what’s wrong with our dear Belia, today? Are you in a bad mood?
Ivy
What’s that red spot on your forehead? Did you hit your head on something?
*reaching out to touch my forehead*
Belia (FL)
*Pushing her hand away*
It’s nothing. I’m fine.
We both arrived at the corridor of our classroom and entered the class.
Ivy
*In smile as she sat down behind her desk*
It’s so good to be in our final year
Ivy
Everyone is already talking about university. *turning back to look at me*
Which school do you plan on going to, Belia?
Belia (FL)
*With indifferent face*
Farming
Ivy
*Looking stunned at my answer*
Farming?
Ivy
Come on, cut the jokes. *Laughing* You’re so bad at telling one. Tell me, where exactly are you going to?
Belia (FL)
Do I have to tell you everything about my life?
Ivy
I guess you’re in a bad mood today.
Ivy saw through my mood and stopped asking me questions.
The teacher soon entered the class and the standing students immediately scurried back to their seats.
However, the teacher’s gaze wasn’t fixed on the scampering students but was instead settled on the big writing on the board that said...
Immediately I saw those words, I knew that one of the male students must have written it since they like to do this kind of prank.
However, Mrs. Givanni, our teacher for today wasn’t having it when she saw the sentences written on the board.
Mrs. Givanni
*turning to the student below with her face brimming with anger*
Mrs. Givanni
Who wrote these words on the board?
Mrs. Givanni
I’ll ask this once again. Who wrote these words on the board?
Mrs. Givanni
*Slammed her hand onto the standing podium*
Mrs. Givanni
Wow! What a perfect cooperation. However, you know what, you’re all failing this course.
Words of dissatisfaction came out from everyone’s lips.
Mrs. Givanni
Then all you have to do is to pick out the culprit. I’m sure one of you did it.
Mrs. Givanni
*looking at each student in the eyes*
Mrs. Givanni
[How dare they say her breath stinks. She isn’t going to forgive the culprit no matter what.]
Mrs. Givanni
So, who is it?
Three
Belia (FL)
What! *I exclaimed*
No student was bearing the name Belia in this classroom apart from me.
Hence, that person had just pointed me out as the culprit.
I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was no one other than Alison.
Belia (FL)
‘That girl is a crap' *I cursed under my breath*
Alison had always hated me and I don’t even know the reason why. Well, I’ve never liked her to begin with
Belia (FL)
Look Alison, this isn’t the time to joke. I didn’t write it, so why did you have to call out my name?
As if she didn’t hear my words, Alison continued to point at me.
Alison
I saw her writing it this morning.
Belia (FL)
That’s a lie. I didn’t.
Ivy
That right. She did not. We came to the classroom together. Why didn’t I see her writing it then
Alison
*In a scornful smile* Well, who knows? Maybe you both planned it together.
Belia (FL)
What are you trying to imp--.
Mrs. Givanni
That’s enough!
Mrs. Givanni
*Looking in my direction* Belia, go to the library warehouse and dust all the books there. That will be your punishment.
Mrs. Givanni
I’m sure you heard what I just said. Now leave the classroom. *Her voice was sterned*
However, before leaving, I made sure to give Alison an intense stare.
Seeing my cold gaze, Alison turned her head away
Belia (FL)
I swear, you’ll pay for this. *I mumbled at her and left the classroom*
The school library was located in the southern part of the school.
Some of the students who had a free morning schedule could be seen heading towards the library direction to study.
I entered the library and walked toward the library manager's counter to state the reason why I was there.
Library Manager
You were punished? *She lifted her head* Your appearance doesn’t seem to fit the category of a bad student.
Seeing that I wasn’t going to reply to her, she pointed me in the direction of the cleaning room where I would pick up the cleaning equipment I needed.
Belia (FL)
Thank you *I walked away*
After taking a duster, gloves, and mask from the cleaning room, I headed toward the library warehouse.
The moment I opened the door, I was greeted with an ample wave of dust onto my face.
I brave through the dust and took the feather duster, before starting to dust the books on the shelves.
More dust filled my nose and I began to sneeze constantly.
Belia (FL)
You’re going to pay for this, Alison. *I kicked at the shelves*
Unfortunately, one of the books seemed unstable and fell onto the floor.
Seeing the fallen book, I leaned forward to pick it up.
Looking at the book title, I was hooked by its name.
Belia (FL)
BRIDE OF THE SEVEN GODS. It sounds interesting. Let me just have a sneak peek.
I found a corner to sit in and opened the book pages, ready to read.
But before I could read a line, something unknown immediately hit my head and I passed out from the aftermath.
