Chapter 17 Sh*t she is really magical

Like no joke she is a witch! The druids explain that she is not dreaming but using astral projection, though astral projection should not have a physical body they took into account her being the Jade Empress. She didn't believe in the Jade empress thing though.

She woke up still puzzled when finding out she had the books sent by the druids. She studied it for a little bit and she got bored. She put it aside and went to the kitchen only to find out that Ethan is already gone to school and left a bowl of what looked like stir fry vegetables or whatnot. Chelsea smiled, this the best her brother can be.

She goes to school feeling heavy and sleepy. It's as if she is awake the whole night. Her professor is not satisfied with her drawings. Chelsea, frustrated, sat on the school's park and started to make another plate. She finally went into the garden in front of the library. As suspected the garden is also magical, there is a maiden that takes care of it, Chelsea talks to her and identifies her as lady Diana, but she refutes the maiden's claim as she is not Diana she is Chelsea Chiu.

"Well, then you're claiming as the Earth mother?" The maiden asks. Her eyes wide, looking innocent and pure as stream water.

"No, I am neither. If you call me any of those names I'm not talking with you again." She imposed it. The maiden's eye even widened. Then closed her mouth, even if she wanted to talk more. Her presence is already an authority to the maiden in the garden.

"I don't mean to offend you, goddess, then I'll call you by your human name then." She said politely.

Chelsea forgot the drawing plates she made and asked about magic. The maiden in the garden's name is Willow and the garden used to be as wide as the whole school, but since it was converted into a school the garden shrunk into its current state. With pollution and industrialization of the country, it became almost a wasteland, that Poppy's magical heritage was forgotten. It sparked Chelsea's interest and kept in mind to explore the library and research Poppy's old history. This could also help her solve the mystery of her having Diana's essence.

"So do you mean the whole school is magical?" She asked.

"Yes and no," Willow asks she said that since the humans have disturbed the wilderness and built something in it, the magic was destroyed but there are some left but not the entire school and very faint. You can't even feel it if you're a non-magical person. Willow understood that her kind is almost extinct and her people now only exist in myths and legends.

"Don't you want to move out of this place and transfer somewhere else?" What Chelsea doesn't understand is that nature spirits like Willow are bound in her birthplace forever and if the place is destroyed she will be going with it too. But Willow did not expand. Since there is a high concentration of magic in Willow's garden Chelsea was able to complete her plate in no time, creativity in magical places is heightened.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Willow! If you don't mind I'll visit you again tomorrow?" She smiled widely glad to meet someone magical at school. Willow said her magic has become weak since she can only eat plants in the garden that has been long polluted. Chelsea felt sad for her and planned to bring her food from the countryside which has no chemicals and is less polluted.

She went on to her class and faced another battle with the fierce Haley.

"Oh, our class president is here, make way." Haley is trying to provoke her. Chelsea said hi to the class, flipped her hair in front of Haley, moved past her, and sat with her friends. She knew it is childish but she is better than her so just wanted to rub it on her face. Haley's face is blue and looks like it will burst. She giggled to emphasize her triumph.

She even distributed some chocolates from the palace's snack bar to her friends leaving no room to dispute for Haley. She chatted with Ron and their friends. She wanted to show Haley that she can't take control of her emotions nor her life, even if she will split herself in half in front of her, she can't be bothered.

So they planned the party for Saturday. They want to set up a dinner and slumber party for her and Ron and some of their female friends. They laughed out loud and speaks loudly just to annoy Haley and wannabes giving high fives with no purpose. It was working because Haley threw a tantrum which annoyed the elites and gave her the piece of shit she was asking. These real bullies made her swim in the school pond and dry herself in the sun, she was not allowed in any shade including the trees. Either that or she'll lose her future in Poppy. These elites are the future business CEO and company presidents. In short, you can't mess up with them or it'll be the end of your career without even starting. She feels good when she's able to bully Haley but it drains her so much that she loses too much energy and she hates it. As if a ritual she secretly held on the smartphone Gregory gave her and it regenerated her cells and made her feel safe. She wanted to see him so bad. She sighed and asked Ron to get some soda to get distracted.

A rose was delivered to her; it was from the coven, they were able to recognize her status as well and hailed her as a goddess. It was the most uncomfortable feeling she ever felt. She is being worshipped and that is stupid. She chased the delivery boy to return the flowers but he was gone, to not humiliate herself further, she distributed the flowers to her female classmates except Haley and friends. She didn’t care if Haley’s temperament would flare up, Although irritating sometimes but she can still manage.
