Chapter 8 Zetta Mui, Fortune Teller

• Someone stopped Kiran's daydream. "Mother?" Kiran was surprised when Kora Wang tapped him on the shoulder
• "What are you doing here?" her gaze was full of inquisitiveness.
• "Let's go home! It's already afternoon. I don't want to be whipped just for waiting for you to chat here. The curfew will take effect soon!” Kora Wang was very firm. The children dispersed.
• Kiran walked hurriedly, her mother pulled his hand, back to their small house. On the way to the house, not only the two of them were seen walking fast. Many people who were going back and forth were also seen in a hurry to return to their homes before the curfew was enforced. No one wants to be whipped, in the town square, with thousands of townspeople watching. It's too embarrassing!
• Kiran pulled the rough blanket up to her neck. He's looking for warmth. For some reason, since Avena had said that the enchantment candidate was selected, they had to move to Shanggu City, to that famous magic academy. Kiran shivered nervously. It was not bear to be separated from his two parents.
• After tossing and turning on the bed,
• "Why am I thinking so much? It's not certain that I'll pass the magic talent audition tomorrow. If anything maybe, the chance to be selected is only 0.09%" Kiran laughed inside.
• "There has never been a history of a person in our family genealogy, who has talent as a sorcerer" his heart is now relieved, no longer restless.
• Kiran fell asleep afterward. All the burdens and feelings of confusion. Anxiety about having to move to Shanggu City leaving his two parents behind, now just disappeared.
• +++
• Early in the morning, Kora Wang wakes up Kiran. Even though was still sleepy but the teenager was enthusiastic.
• Despite trying to calm herself, between two desires - between wanting to be a witch, also feeling anxious if chosen, and having to leave her two parents, Kiran was pounding. Become a person who called enchantment in Qingchang Empire, that is the biggest dream of all children. Count no exception!
• "Did you get enough sleep?" Kora Wang asked. She spooned the mashed potatoes and served them into Kiran's bowl. Without speaking, Kiran ate his breakfast.
• Kora Wang added a large piece of steamed bun, her breakfast allowance, to Kiran's bowl.
• The call looked up. He didn't expect his mother to share his breakfast with him.
• "Aren't you hungry?" asked Kiran carefully, not wanting to offend Kora Wang.
• "Isn't this too much? A bowl of mashed potatoes plus a portion of steamed buns will fill me too much" Kiran said looking into Kora Wang's eyes.
• But as a mother, since then Kora Wang saw the twinkle in Kiran's eyes.
• "That kid is still hungry. It's not good for someone to wait so many hours for an audition, in the square later on an empty stomach"
• Kora Wang shook her head, and she replied indifferently.
• "I'm still full. I don't know why since dinner last night, my stomach feels bloated, maybe because I ate too much. The steamed buns should be just for you!" Kora Wang left Kiran alone at the simple table. Then busied herself in the kitchen, cleaning the hidden parts that she thought were dirty.
• Kiran glanced at her mother who was deftly cleaning the kitchen over and over again. Even though the kitchen was clean. After all, not much food had been cooked since this morning and Kora Wang had cleaned it. So really, there is no dirty thing that needs to be cleaned anymore.
• Kiran took a deep breath. He was moved.
• Finished with breakfast, Kora Wang approached Kiran.
• That woman is neat, much different from everyday appearance. Her hair was neatly pulled back, and she wore olive oil in her hair so that her hair looked black and thick. Although several stripes are white, starting to appear to decorate the crown of his head. Kora Wang looks beautiful.
• She was wearing the best clothes made of simple linen. It was a straight-cut tunic, with big sleeves with simple hems at the corners of the dress. A linen belt adorned the pale pink tunic, embroidered with Peach Blossoms on the side of the collar.
• Even though it's simple, the cut of the dress matches Kora Wang's character. She doesn't look exaggerated, instead showing a line of beauty that has begun to fade with suffering. There is no jewelry on the neck let alone hands. But Kora Wang looks understated. After all, when she was young, her age Wang was famous as one of the flowers in Begonia City.
• Unfortunately, the war ruined everything. Her beauty faded along with the suffering that came and went.
• ++++++
• In the Begonia town square, there weren't too many auditioning children, who came accompanied by their parents. Even though they weren't the first to come, Kiran and her mother were among the first to arrive.
• It's only 06:00 in the morning.
• Time passes very quickly. The sun began to appear on the eastern horizon. The light warmly bathed Begonia Town Square.
• More and more people came to fill the square in the square. Some escorted children, who were going to audition for the talent test, most of them came just to look around the crowd.
• Poverty has run rampant since the war broke out. That leaves not many entertainment options for the people of Begonia. This talent search audition which is held every year includes a big entertainment event that invites the enthusiasm of the residents of the city of Begonia.
• The town square that had looked somber the day before, with the atmosphere of an execution planned Niraj Singh, it's a hundred and eighty degrees now. Even though there were still many military people passing by to keep watch, colorful banners fluttered around the town square, obscuring the tense atmosphere at that time.
• The large podium in the middle of the square which had been full of pyres for the execution of the storyteller the day before had changed. There is no creepy feel, other than a large stage that is conjured up, above which stands a kind of small building resembling a palace, a characteristic state of Qingchang.
• Although it was only a replica, the building on the stage looked fascinating. The pillars are red, large lanterns hang on the left and right sides of the building. Peach Flower Decorations are stuck on two large flower vases, under the two large lanterns. The tiles and the roof of the imitation building were brown with golden strokes. At the corner of the pointed tile head, too colored gold. Luxurious!
• Everyone's attention was focused on the large canvas measuring 3 x 3 meters on the stage, right next to the palace's replica building.
• Eve Whitehouse stood proudly on the stage. Right beside her was a man with a face hard, and broad-shouldered. From his clothes, got guessed he was a member of the military. It's Captain Bao.
• What caught everyone's attention the most, was an 18-year-old young girl. She stood majestically on the stage, on par with the other two people – Eve Whitehouse and Captain Bao.
• The girl's body was not as tall as Eve Whitehouse, but it was quite tall for the average size of a State womanQingchang. Long hair down to the back, left loose, dangling without any decoration. Her hair color is black as night. Anyone who saw it would conclude 'That is the blackest hair they have ever seen
• Buzzing, cooing.
• "Is she also a magician? Being that young and being skilled isn't a simple thing"
• "If she is a witch, I'm sure from the look on her face, she must be bleeding state Qingchang"
• "Her face is very beautiful with pointed eyes, like a silver wolf."
• People were busy discussing, in awe the newcomer woman. They ignored Eve Whitehouse and Captain Bao, who were usually the center of attention.
• Not long after the event began. Eve Whitehouse started the event with her speech.
• "All the beloved citizens of Begonia, We should thank Emperor Hersen for giving the people of Qingchang a chance to join the Elite Team of Hersen Imperial Magicians.
• This is an opportunity for everyone, to impress the emperor, and serve for the glory of the Great Hersen Empire."
• Eve Whitehouse fished with applause. No welcome. Only a small portion, greeted Eve's applause enthusiastically. It then died down after the other people on either side of him shot that person a look of displeasure.
• Seemingly embarrassed Eve continued her speech.
• “This partner of mine, Zetta Mui!
• He's also a level 2 mage, with the special abilities of a fortune-teller and Fortune Teller!
• Zetta Mui will be hosting this talent audition!"
• Nervous!
• The sound of applause filled the Begonia town square. But everyone knew the applause wasn't for Eve Winehouse, let alone honoring the Hersen Empire.
• The applause was directed at Zetta Mui, the young girl who was guessed to be a blood level 2 mageQingchang That.
• Zetta Mui stepped forward. She quickly took over the attention. When he spoke, her voice was clear and melodious. Similar to the voice of singers singing folk songs.
• "In front of you all spreads a cloth measuring 3 x 3 meters. This is not just any cloth. But a special cloth called Energy Cloth.
• "Every kid will throw a brush after a dip in this liquid magic paint. And this Energy Cloth would represent the future, and the hidden talent of the child.
• As an expert, I will be divining and palm reading that future Witch candidate.” Zetta Mui paused for a moment. Her gaze swept across the square, She realized, having stolen the day of the residents of Begonia Town.
• Zetta smiled faintly. She continued,
• "With this energy cloth, nothing is hidden in the future, one child " ZettaMui ended her oration dramatically, she waved her hand, and fluid paint on pottery flew up, and spilled onto the Energy Cloth.
• Now on the Energy Cloth, there appeared beautiful writing that read,
• "Welcome future wizard and leader, the preeminent talent of Begonia City"
• A hum of praise broke out in the Sky of the Town Square. All praise the attractions shown by ZettaMui That.
• Kiran was pounding in the heart. He was very fascinated by the attraction.
• He was worried, his prayers were being recited more smoothly. His wish changed again. Inwardly, the young man wondered.
• "Will the results of my painting later show talent, to be recruited as part of that elite magician?"
