"Blink...!"

My eyes snapped open just before the sound of knocking from my sister resounded.

"Knock...!" "Knock...!"

The reason for me waking up just before the knocking—that was like an alarm—was only because of the earth-searing pain that I was feeling right now.

'I shouldn't have eaten.'

Yeah, I was exaggerating. But, man, it was like my stomach was going to burst open.

"Are you going?" Grandma Mary's voice cut through my brooding.

"Yes, Grandma," I replied with a kiss and left the bed. 'Washroom, washroom.'

"Take care."

"I will." I practically ran towards the door. 'Washroom, washroom.'

"Click...!"

"Good morning, sis." I wished her, pressing a kiss to her lips.

"Good morning."

"Just wait a few minutes. I will be ready," I said, hurrying to my destination.

"Ok. The bath's ready, too." My sister said as I reached the stairway. "Your clothes are already there. Mom has kept them at the usual place."

"Ok." I nodded absentmindedly as I ran for my life.

'WASHROOM!'

...

"Ha...!"

'Is this what we call freedom, or is this what we call enlightenment? This light feeling, this vigor in my body, this intense energy, this—'

There seemed to be some side effect of shitting your life out, which I was experiencing. And I couldn't really blame myself. It was like I had removed a huge-ass rock stuck in my stomach.

Anyway, after bathing, I met with my sister in the living room.

"I am ready, sis. Let's go."

"Ok."

We came out of the house, and Sis closed the door. After which, we moved towards the gate. However, just as we had taken a few steps, suddenly the surroundings changed. And I knew the reason behind this was my sister's master.

That said, this time, something was different or, more precisely, wrong.

'Huh!'

As... this time, instead of standing on the ground, I was in the air, falling downwards like a rock that was thrown in the air and was now following the law of gravity and returning to kiss the dirt.

However, I wasn't a rock. Well, even if I was. If I fell, wouldn't I scatter like the pieces of a Rubik's Cube? I didn't know how high I was, as I was falling like a person who had just been betrayed by his love or most trusted comrades.

But I was sure of one thing: if I fell, I would get hurt. Well, even a brain-dead person could think that. However, there was one more problem.

'I AM FUCKING SCARED OF HEIGHTS.'

Then, in this situation, what did I do?

I opened my mouth to scream like a bitch and also tried to control my body, all the while trying my best to use my elements. As that were the only thing that I had. And, yep, I hadn't forgotten that I was an awakener now.

"WHAT THE—"

But before I could complete my words and use any of my elements. My sister caught me in a princess carry. And I threw every thought and latched on to her body as a baby koala does to its mother.

"THUD...!"

My sister landed on the ground with me in her arms and asked me hurriedly.

"Are you okay?"

I opened my eyes and glanced at her, her worried face coming into my view.

"Yeah," I replied, my voice coming out hoarse. Hearing me, her face relaxed a little. "Ah, you can put me down."

As I said those words, my whole face started to burn. Still, it's not like I regretted latching on to my sister like a baby koala. I mean, I do, but if I hadn't, only God knows what would have happened to me.

And I wasn't one to blame, okay. Who the hell would think that they would suddenly be teleported and in the air, nonetheless?

Also, I did try to save myself, but when my sis came, I just forgot about everything. Because I didn't even know if I would be able to save myself or not.

Still...

'Why the fuck would her master teleport us in the fucking air?' I thought as my sister nodded and lowered me.

My whole body was shaking.

'Man, that was embarrassing.'

"Why the hell did you save him?" A voice broke my train of thought.

The scenery was the same. It was the same eerie forest, same silence, same grotesque trees, and same smell of "anything can go wrong at any moment."

But... in this place, sticking out like a sore thumb was my sister's master, Seraphine Stormfang.

"Crunch...!"

Wearing black trousers, a white shirt with sleeves rolled up—showing the intricate etched tattoos—and buttons open, revealing her cleavage. She... she was sitting on a goddamn throne, but backward, her legs through the gap between the armrest and her head resting on her forearm that was at the backrest of the throne.

"Crunch...!"

And she was looking at us, with an annoyed expression, all the while snacking on an apple.

"Why the hell did you save him, huh?" She asked again, glaring at my sis with an annoyed expression, as if my sis was the one in the wrong.

"..."

My sister didn't respond. She, in turn, was glaring at her.

"Stop glaring at me. It was not that high, okay. And if he had fallen, just some bones were going to break, anyway."

"..."

My sister still didn't respond. She stood near me, still sporting the scowl. While I... I was screaming inside.

'SOME! SOME! It was still going to BREAK, YOU KNOW.'

My sister's master, not getting any response from my sis, took one more bite from the apple. "If you had not intervened, your brother would have been able to save himself." She finished before mumbling. "Maybe."

I couldn't believe my ears. Was she doing this so I could use my elements? Okay, till this, I was kind of okay with everything. Who am I kidding? I was still fucking scared. I have acrophobia. But the thing that shocked me more was that she wasn't even sure if I was going to be able to use them or not.

'Was she even going to save me?'

A thought crossed my mind as I glanced at her, slumped on the throne, in a carefree posture. 'I doubt it.'

"How is Ms. Jasmine doing?" At last, my sister spoke, her voice cold, sending chills down my spine.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, my sister's master appeared in front of me, startling the fuck out of me. Her hands gripped my shoulders. There was a creepy smile on her face. Till now, I hadn't seen—no, I hadn't even thought that a creepy smile could emerge on a beautiful face.

'What the fuck?'

Due to the sudden situation, forgetting the person before me was a DEMIGOD, I tried to step back, but couldn't due to her hold.

Seeing my reaction, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Haha, did I startle you?"

"No. Creeped out." My sister deadpanned from my side, causing her master's face to twitch more. But she completely ignored her, as if the words were not said at all.

"Are you okay?" She asked again, her smile widening more.

'Creepy.'

"..."

At my reaction, her smile twitched a little, and her fingers tightened on my shoulders. "I was going to save you if you hadn't been able to save yourself, you know. I am not like your sis, who blackmails others."

"I am fine." I nodded hastily, making my vision spin. I wanted to get out of this situation as fast as I could.

Seeing my reaction, my sister spoke up. "Ok, I won't say anything."

"Aww, I knew it. My disciple still loves me." Her master left me and leapt on my sis with her arms wide open, asking for a hug. But my sister's glare made her shrink back.

'I love you, sis.' I glanced at her, my eyes filled with tears of joy.

After this silence, once more shrouded the surroundings, which was only broken when—

"Cough...!" "Cough...!"

My sister's master coughed, now sitting on the throne, facing towards us. Her legs were crossed, and her fingers, intertwined together, were placed in front of her mouth in a pose a villain does when planning something sinister.

She looked at me and then smiled.

"Let's start your training now. Shall we?"

This time her smile sent shivers down my spine.

'I have a bad feeling about it.'
