1677 Words
They went back to the campus and searched for the right spot to try the things they bought from the National Treasury.
"Let's move to the back of this building, we might be able to find a place to test what we bought," Kev suggested. They walked around the huge main building and went straight ahead to the back. They found an opened storage room. ""Look, it seems empty." Kev went inside. Czarina and Yin followed him.
"No one's here," Czarina said. It was a huge storage space with a few old cargo boxes piled up at the corner. There's a wooden table at the other corner of the room.
"Perfect!" Kev closed the door. He opened his palm and used his power to lit the room. He made a shining ball of ice, it floated in the air.
"Cool!" Yin exclaimed.
"I learned it from my masters." He walked towards the wooden table, raised his hands and took out the things they bought from his space magic ring.
"Who are your masters?" Czarina asked.
"She's the immortal goddess Ice. The master of ice phoenix," he said it without boasting it. " And Orao, the immortal master of wind hawk."
"No way!" Yin's jaw dropped upon hearing it. "It's rare for us to see any of those immortal masters!"
"Yin, he's the prince. He can see whoever he wants to see," Czarina said while laughing. "It's impossible for us to see even those in heavenly level."
"Right. I wonder if I could see immortal god Orao, the master of wind eagle." He sighed.
"We can see them once we're strong enough," she said. "We need to level up our spiritual power."
"They became my masters because I am an element controller. Anyway, look at what we bought. Aren't they interesting?" Kev picked an old wand made of wood. It's more or less twelve inches long. "What can this thing do?" He faced the center of the storage and waived the wand. A strong wind blew, they covered themselves with their hands.
"Whoa! It's a wind magic wand!" Yin excitingly said. "Amazing!"
"You can keep it. It's your power anyway." Kev handed the wand to him.
Yin hesitantly accepted it. "But this is expensive! Why it didn't work at the bidding room when the lady tried it?"
"It's my bloodline," Kev replied. "Royal bloodline is special. Most magical tools in Fantasija will at least react to my command, though I won't be able to use them in their full potential."
"Can I try it?" Yin, nervous and excited to try the magic wand that kept on calling him while it is in front of the bidding room.
"Do it, focus your energy and respond to the call of the wand, if you can hear or feel it," Kev's tip.
"I will try. It's my first time to use this kind of tool. This is also rare in our village." Yin closed his eyes and tried to focus his energy to the wand. He opened his eyes and swung the wand towards the center of the storage room. A strong whirlwind appeared that almost pulled Czarina and Kev, he raised his had to use a protective barrier made of ice. Almost everything in the storage room are being pulled by the whirlwind.
"Make it stop!" Czarina shouted.
Yin swung his arm again, the whirlwind suddenly stopped. Kev also made the ice barrier disappeared. "We're safe now."
"I need to practice with this. But it's so cool!" Yin's eyes are sparkling out of happiness.
"Yeah, Yin, looked at what you've done." Czarina pointed at the storage boxes and other broken materials inside the room.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to control it yet. I'll keep it for now."
He made it disappeared and stored it in his space bracelet.
"Now, let's try this one." Kev picked the flute of Minerva, and raised it closed to his mouth. He started blowing on it and played a beautiful melody of love and affection to a lost family.
Czarina and Yin seemed became hypnotized. Czarina saw a field of flowers blooming around her, while Yin imagined he was flying in the clouds, playing with baby dragons and unicorns.
The music stopped, and the two returned back to their consciousness. "What happened?" Czarina asked.
"I am so happy I found this treasure!" Kev laughed while holding the flute. He hugged it and kissed it. "You two are my lucky charm!"
"It's just a coincidence," Czarina said. "He looked at the table behind Kev. "Why did you buy too many spiritual pills? I'm sure you have a lot of those in the palace."
"I bought them for the two of you." He took one bottle and handed it to Czarina. "This is a blue pearl pill. It's a healing pill. It can heal even the most deadly poison."
"Thank you. I might really need it in the future." She accepted it because it's usable for her. She might need it while they are in the academy.
"This is for you." He handed another bottle to Yin. "This is an energy booster pill."
"Thank you! I got a lot of gifts today from the prince of Zariste." He smiled, looking happy because their first day in Zariste has been fun and full of adventure.
"Why are you trusting us so easily, and you are treating us nicely?" she asked. It's not usual that a prince treats commoners equally.
"I don't know. I always listen to my guts. I find both of you kind and trust-worthy." He turned around and picked the last item. It is in a golden box. He opened the lid and pulled out the golden sword grip.
"There is really something in that sword grip," Czarina said. She can't take her eyes away form it.
"Why don't you try it?" Kev handed the sword grip to her.
"What?! You bought that to yourself, right?" She can't accept a sword worth five million zaris bill. She returned the sword grip to him.
"I can't use it." He raised it and tried to incorporate his power to it, but the sword is making an unusual noise, like denying Kev's command. He handed it back to Czarina. "Try it."
"O-okay, if you say so." She raised it and used her fire power to merge it with the sword grip. A blade made of fire appeared.
"Whoa!" Kev and Yin said in amazement.
Czarina slashed it in the air. She can feel her power is doubled when it is merged with the sword. "It's awesome!"
"I think the sword grip has found its master," Kev said. "We found a good haul today. Lets' try it again sometime." He grinned.
"Thank you, but are you sure you're giving it to me?" Czarina still doubted it.
"You are its master now. I can't take it back." He winked at her. "I think it's time for dinner. It's almost six. Let's go to the dining hall."
They all walked out of the room to proceed to the dining hall. They entered the building where it is located. Czarina still feels blissful because of the gift she received when he saw a teenager coming out of the principal's office, not too far form the entrance of the dining hall. It was the same teenager he saw at the bidding room. "He's also a student here," she said to herself. She shrugged her shoulders, and followed her two friends.
