50 Again

*Fifty chapters! Damn! We're halfway to a hundred chapters! I guess that's another milestone then? We're so close but yet so far! Ugh! Well, at least we've passed the hundred thousand milestone though! So that's a good thing, I guess.*

"You! Who did you learn from? This fire..."

"Uh." Bluey replied from her Pagoda.

'Well, do you have an answer or not?'

"Well what do you want me to say? 'Oh hey, Xuanmei? Yeah, uh, I merged our powers. Whoops. Hey, at least your fire looks cool now and you're gonna pass the test and swagger over to the heavenly fire sector! Haha ok, bye!' Is that what you expected?"

"I didn't learn it." Xuanmei blurted out.

"Great, now she thinks you're a genius."

"You! You're- Really?"

Xuanmei shrugged, putting her whole hand onto the ball.

The ball started shaking violently, as golden and silver strads of strange, powerful light arose within the crystalline sphere, the said object levitating off the table.

"... Uh, oops?"

The crystal ball smashed down into the floor, the light escaping as it engulfed the room.

"Well, that's new, its never broken before, not to mention levitated..."

"Uh... Do I have to pay for that?"

"Uh, no. It's okay Tuition is already very expensive. You seem to meet the... Criteria. So, uh, are you going to join the Heavenly Fire sector? We need members urgently, and well, we... We're recruiting."

"Join the heavenly fire sector? Don't you guys have some sort of test or something?"

"I mean, does it look like I have an extra ball with me? Besides, you'd probably break the damn thing anyway."

Xuanmei shuffled around uncomfortably, chuckling awkwardly.

"After all, the people chosen are basically already very strong. Their potentials are usually through the roof too, so there's no problem teaching them."

"So I guess I'll just... Join you guys?"

"Yeah. Welcome. I'm your sector head. Head far left in the fire sector, and I'll meet you tomorrow to address you and the other students."

"Wait, you're..."

"Yes. Now, your dorm room's number is 147115, only one should be inside the dorm right now. For now, please see your way there."

"It's down the hall, to the right. Tomorrow, please meet at fire sector's far right, in the first class."

"Understood. So I start at six in the morning in the fire sector's class number one, to the far right, right?"

"Yes. Now, it's good that you remember. In your dorm, however, to make sure we have diversity, you'll be paired with three other people."

"One's a balenced triple element, another, a dual wielder who is strong in both elements, and a top student."

"They're quite powerful, so I hope you children can get along, and not make a mess, as more powerful students do."

Xuanmei chuckled as she swung open the door, "No promises," walking out and searching for her dorm.

"Each building has two storeys, so it must be... The seventh building, right?"

The woman from the counter looked over, disappointed.

"Not again..."
