First show of power, Why do I keep meeting them?

First show of power, Why do I keep meeting them?

[Lily POV],

After that bastard, Chris left. I could not stop myself from gritting my teeth in anger. H-How dare he? How dare he? Damn. "Hmmm, was that guy a friend?" Adrea ask. With his words bringing me out of my thoughts, I looked at the devilish handsome male similar to my age standing beside me.

After hearing his question, I clicked my tongue in annoyance, "Tsk", and answered him by saying: "Just some low life viscount from the blood family". "Viscount"? He asked again, curious. "Yes, viscount. The blood family has their level categorization recognized by the system", I answered him and explained the level categorization of the blood family.

He then asked if I knew more, So I told him about the Sword Ki Family level categorization. "Thanks", Saying his thanks, he had a happy and satisfied expression on his face. Looks like he is one that like new information.

Before I could think of a way to help myself in the bet that bastard talked about, Adrea asked a question: "Can I help you with anything?" He said. "There's nothing". I replied.

I wanted to stop myself from saying my next sentence but I couldn't, because, even if there is a small possibility of him having the power to quickly reach the inner part of the forest, I prefer to ask and have at least a head start in winning this bet than Chris, than staying silent and losing that chance. "Hm, Can you take me to the inner part of the forest?" I asked. It was only after the words came out of my mouth, did I realize I was silly to even ask that.

This forest is so huge, that it needs at least a bronze mortal to just help me with the request I just asked now. And besides, not everyone can beat a member of the Blood Family in terms of speed. " You don't have to force yourself if you can't". I quickly told him, so he could not worry himself over helpless issues.

Adrea: Don't worry. I just have to take you to the inner part right? "Y-yes". When he said this, I was flustered by the confidence he was outputting. Adrea: Okay, Give me your hand. O-okay. Still flustered, I did not know when I gave him my hand. It was only a second later I realized. As I was about to shake his hand off, he said something that left me confused. "Don't let go". He said. "Uh?" Due to the sudden request, I made a silly sound. It was only when I found the mana in the surroundings seem to be gathering around our feet, or our shadow? Did I realize what he meant by "Don't let go".

"Shadow Magic: Shadow World".

And what happened next was me seeing myself deep inside the forest, and a light-like mini sun in a distance that doesn't look too far away like before. "Was that teleportation just now? I asked in a dumb voice.

[Reporter POV],

After the respectable demigod finished his speech, Though that's what I assume since I did not see him saying anything. All I saw him do, was look at the exam participants like he was communicating, and the participants, looking back at him like they were listening.

'Ah', I signed. The power of those who are truly powerful, makes me admire them. Too bad, my class is low, and I can never reach there in this lifetime.

As I was thinking of this, I looked at the ground from the helicopter and saw a crowd of people suddenly running into the forest, I immediately alerted the cameraman to have his camera rolling, we're going live.

After the cameraman gave me the signal to start, I put on a professional smile and started.

"Hello viewers, I am Ella, from New day News. As you all know or have heard about the rumors of the world powers coming together to publicize the college exam happening in Base 1 and are not sure whether it's true or not? or just a rumor, Well am here to tell you that it's true, and in fact, am at the college exam location right now reporting this live".

Using hand signs to tell the cameraman to change his focus from me to the participants on the ground, I continued. "As you can see, the people on the ground now, are the participants of this exam. Oh My, Well viewers, best you get ready because I just received two new information concerning the exams, one is that the theme of the exam is hunting. It is so because the people up there want to see the abilities of the present generation. And the second, which is the juiciest, is that the prodigies of the 4 great empires and the 5 great families are participating in this exam. I wonder if we'll be lucky to spot one of them. And what do you know, It looks like lady luck is smiling at us today, we've spotted one".

Telling the cameramen to change his focus again, using hand signs, we put our focus at the back of the crowd. "Viewers at home, work, or anywhere else, I want you to put your focus to the back of the crowd. You see the two people standing at the back? standing on not running? The young miss on Green is Lily Heart, A heir of the Plant Family. Yes, You heard me correctly. She's an heir of one of the 5 Great families. And the young man at her side is, OH MY GOD, HE'S HANDSOME".

Damn, I just lost control. "Sorry about that. So about the young man, Currently, we don't have any information about him and his relationship with Lily Heart, but from the way they are conversing, I can tell they are at least acquaintances. Oh, looks like they're about to make a move. Oh, correct me if am wrong, but did he just hold her hand?"

Taking a quick pause, I told the audio engineers at the back to increase the power of a machine I don't know the name of, but I know that it can listen to the conversation from afar, as long as it's connected.

"Shadow Magic: Shadow World".

Was the first word I heard after connecting, and before I could comment about it, Under the eyes of the viewers and i, they disappeared.

.....

[Adrea POV],

"Was that teleportation just now? Lily asked dumbfounded.

Seeing that my powers could even momentarily shock someone from a Great Family, I felt kinda proud. Shadow magic is a sub-magic under Dark Magic. And 'Shadow World' is a spell I learned from the martial arts hall in the ancient world.

Don't get something wrong or misunderstand it. The spells I know of now were all learned from the martial arts hall, but that does not mean the hall deals with spells. It only deals with spells that Martial artists can use. For example, 'Shadow Blink' is a movement spell, and is very suitable for a martial artist.

Of course, I can't tell Lily these things, so I can only cook up a white lie. As I was about to answer her, Lily interrupted me by saying: "Today is a meeting day for you Adrea. Getting to meet some prodigies of the 4 great empires and the 5 great families in one day is really something."

Like Lily said, Around us were teens that appear to be of similar age. And according to Lily, These guys have some serious background.

Why do I keep meeting them? was the question I desperately wanted to ask.
