Chapter 101: Saddened
"Hey El. How are you doing?" Alex asked.
He was starting to gain control of his roiling mind.
"Am good" Elena replied. Then she continued "So, about what happened yesterday, I am very sorry. I didn't know what came over me. I just saw myself jumping at you to kiss you. I don't know where the urge came from." Elena said.
"No. Don't apologize. You did nothing bad." Alex said.
"Alright. Well, we will continue being friends. Don't think because I kissed you last night that we now have a thing between us. Nothing of that sort can blossom between us." She said.
"Wow" Alex became surprised. And before he could talk. Elena said "Actually, to be very honest with you. I like you very much that I wouldn't hesitate to do anything you ask me to. But look at you. You are like the sovereign queen of fairies with slight masculine features. The day you ever wear a woman's clothes and a half-mask, many powerful suitors would come for you. Haha." Elena said and ended her speech with a chuckle.
Alex whose face depicted that he was sad wanted to talk but she gave him a shush and continued "I definitely won't be able to keep such a boy with beaconing attractiveness by my side as your greatly enticing look would pull all sort of females. I can't share my boy with another female since I know you would definitely have other beauties that would come for you. Also, you are a genius. So many girls would come your way that I can't imagine. All the more reason for me to just end whatever feeling you already have for me because of my last night's action"
Alex became quiet as he didn't know what to say. While Elena waited for him to process everything she had said.
Why his mind began to seethe in class when he thought of Elena was because of the feelings of love for her had germinated in his heart and had begun to grow.
He was having a somewhat panic attack because he had never been in any relationship. He didn't know what to do. Being in one suddenly caused him to have panic-like breathing patterns.
After a long time, he asked with sight difficulty. "S—So, you want us to be friends and nothing else?"
"Yes Alex. Am sorry. I shouldn't have done what I did last night." Elena replied.
"It's uhm... It's okay. Okay? We would only be friends then I guess" Alex said, but with an unhappy tone. Sadness could be sensed in his speech.
The feeling he had was like ascending to the empyreal heavens one moment and then thrown out of it in the next instant.
Elena noticed the sad look Alex was trying hard to conceal from her.
"Poor cutie"
She too felt bad for toying with his feelings in that manner.
So she came to him and gave him a hug. The she said in his ear.
"Don't be sad Alex. You don't need to. I will always be here for you. If you ever need someone to talk to, come to me. I will welcome you with open arms and a smile."
Alex nodded his head.
Then Elena smiled and stroked his long hairs. Then she held him by a hand and they went to the next hall together.

"Coldmoon, you seem so eager to meet this boy. Won't you make a scheme first? You can't just jump into there and think you can come out with the brat just like that" Bloodeyes said.
"No. That's not what I plan to do stupid. I would infiltrate the place and come out of there with the boy." Coldmoon replied.
"Hmm. I just wonder what master saw in that kid?" Skyblade asked.
"Well, I don't know too. He only gave me information about the boy. Perhaps he saw a great, dazzling potential in the boy and so, wanted me to bring him to our organization whom he would make a shadowling, just like us" Coldmoon replied.
"Probably. But why this appearance? Isn't this too excessive? You are exceedingly beautiful in your true form as even the prettiest of many states wouldn't come close to your beauty. But this form you have taken is just too conspicuous and mind-blowing. You look too perfect and too attractive to be true. You are like an illusion. No beauty as this one you have transformed into will truly exist under the skies, I guess. Well, except for probably those monstrously powerful female cultivators rocking the grand world." Bloodeyes said.
"Haha. I know that I would pull all attention to myself, but that is what I simply want. Undying attention! That way, I would get to the boy's heart very quick that I wouldn't even need to bundle him and carry him out of the school. He would follow me on his accord." Coldmoon chuckled and said.
"Hmm. Poor bastard. I am starting to actually feel pity for him. You being with him and only giving him attention would spark up hatred among his colleagues and among the guys with higher cultivation level" Bloodeyes said.
"But how do you know you would get to the boy's heart so quick with this method? Besides, this is not a game. It's a mission. If you fail, you know what our Lord can do" Skyblade said.
"Hmm. Well, there is nothing bad in having slight fun. What could possibly go wrong? Anyways, to your question. Boys like beautiful girls and the type that would give them attention. In that manner, I would pierce deep into his heart and become an idol in there that he would worship everyday of his life. Hehe." Coldmoon said with a grin.
"I am sure that it's with this technique you used to easily kill all your targets in the past. You would seduce those pedophiles in this form and have sex with them to put them off their guard. Idiotic bastards" Bloodeyes said.
"Yea. Imagine terrifically powerful cultivators being stabbed and slashed into halves by her too easy. I now begin to wonder how many men you have slept with in the past, Coldmoon. I am sure they number in the thousands" Skyblade said.
"Sharrap. I am still a virgin who hasn't even be touched in the face by a man. I hate men. They are all vile spawns." Coldmoon said.
Huh!
Bloodeyes and Skyblade became shocked.
Then they felt that maybe something really bad happened to her to make her hate men in this manner.
They could sense grief and wrath in her tone when she spoke.
Then she continued "Actually, I killed those old bastards with my real appearance. Not with this form. I am very beautiful that they became intoxicated by it. Haha. The only time I use this ravishing appearance is when my bewitching charm isn't working well on my targets. Then I would morph into this beauty that would make thousands of gods to go to war. Take note, this is not my only peerless goddess form. I have still many of them. I used this because I have perfected it"
"Damn! That's just tyrannical. How do you do it? These transformations" Bloodeyes asked
"Well, many thousand years ago, I spent majority of my time crafting the best beauty in my head. I went through thousands of paintings of ridiculously beautiful female experts from higher worlds. Then using my power of visualization, I merged one or two striking features about each of them into one unmatched spectacular beauty. Then this detail I would transmit to my morphforce energy which would then begin to change my appearance to match the exact description of the imagery I sent to it." Coldmoon said proudly.
"Hmm. You are thousands of times awesome. But I have a feeling you want to devour this boy" Bloodeyes teasingly said.
"Devour? How do you mean? Are you guys morons? I said I am not going to kill him. I am only taking him to our master" Coldmoon replied.
Haha!
Bloodeyes and Skyblade laughed.
"You are the moron. That was not what I meant. What I meant was that would you go wild with the boy? You know, do all those hot riding and grinding moves with him in bed? Bloodeyes asked.
Coldmoon was deeply shocked as she became speechless.
"The hell! Listen to what you goats are saying. I, Karen, a proud sage-rank expert to go down dirty with a little boy because I transformed into an adorable little girl? You guys must want to be buried headless" she said angrily.
"Just kidding. Haha" Bloodeyes said and laughed.
"So, how are u guys going to bring that instructor to Master?" Coldmoon asked.
"We don't have a plan yet. We are not in a rush. When it's time, we would set out for her." Skyblade said.
"Hmm. Alright. Well, I have to depart now. Good luck to us on our missions. See you at the end of it" Coldmoon said.
"What bullshit luck? I don't believe in luck. Just do your thing properly. Luck won't come to save you if your plans go awry" Bloodeyes said.
Coldmoon shook her head.
Then her eyes and hands began to emit a deep brown light. This light was from an energy called sandforce energy; an energy that gives one the power to manipulate sand.
The instant this brown light emitted from her hands as sandforce energy was channeled to them, unseen waves of power of sand-control discharged from them, from the sandforce energy saturating her palms at the moment and traveled far into the distance.
Then abruptly, like the invisible waves sent out from her hands were summoning calls, large amount of sand moved from many kilometers away to her front.
Exercising her will on the large mass of sand gathered at her front using her power of sand manipulation, it shaped into a towering wave which she jumped onto.
Then the large sand wave with Coldmoon on top shot towards the black dragon academy at a shocking speed.
