_Humorous Giada

Afina was drawn into questioning the tree-line girl for reasons best known to her guts.

"If you can, then what's my qi?" Afina blurted and immediately wished she hadn't challenged the girl who had indirectly stood up for her.

The tree-line girl gave a professional swivel of her heels. With a raised brow, "Do you really want me to?"

Gia secretly tugged at the hem of Afina's overall. "Let's just go. We will be late for the workout" she whispered.

Two other girls had passed by and had halted to see what was transpiring between the four girls.

"What's going on Cher?" one of them had asked the waiting room girl and her friend as they made their pause beside them.

"These two clowns with blue qi want to challenge me" Cher- the waiting room girl hollered.

Challenge?

"How on earth has this gotten to a challenge?" Afina couldn't help but to hiss out.

Again, Gia tugged at Afina's cloth.

Out of irritation, Afina had slapped the hand away. Way too harsh than she had supposed.

The new girls looked on at both the tree line girl and Afina before the second one remarked. "Cher, do you not know Giada?" she pointed at the tree-line girl.

Afina was getting to know their names now.

The waiting room girl was Cher while the tree line girl was Giada.

"Who the hell is she? What family is such a clown from? I bet they are from the same slum seeing how much she pokes her nose into our business with the blue qi girl!" Cher snorted which caused the second girl with her to giggle mockingly.

The first girl among the two who had just joined them scratched her nape. "Urhm Cher, you do know the La Nasa family right?"

"What about them?" Cher had a frown on her face.

There was total silence now. From both the tree line girl and Afina.

Even Afina was curious as to what the girl was driving into. She was present when the tree line girl was interviewed but her nonchalant nature wouldn't permit her to memorize the families of the girls who got interviewed in her presence.

How many could she memorize anyway? They were all too many and only a few got selected.

"You do know the first and only child of Alistair La Nasa of the La Nasa family? The one whose face nobody recognizes because she was too private and hated to be filmed?"

Some certain families couldn't just be unknown even to Afina who barely uses the internet.

Families like La Nasa and PennyWhistle amongst others could never be unknown even by the less informed divine citizen of the line.

The La Nasa family owned the one and only sole agriculture industry in the line which crushed any rivals who dares to set up the same business mainly because they were closer to nature because they were of the tree line.

All plants and crops bow to them with a single demonstration of their powers.

"Is— is she Giada?" Cher's friend asked in a stammer.

The first girl who had asked the question removed her hand from her nape. "Yes, that is Giada"

Afina had to gulp. Cher's family were like bugs compared to Giada's.

She could only wonder why the girl only had the yellow qi at the last stage. She could have leveled up to the orange qi with the status of her family's riches.

Although, some people were born with weak qi. Maybe Giada was one of them. Perhaps, that was the reason why she was cultivating in the living room the day before.

"Such a masculine girl can not be Giada! I can't even smell the aura of riches around her" Cher refused to believe her ears.

True, Giada had a sort of masculine body. She had calves at the back of her leg. An element that was common amongst men and sometimes women who gym a lot too.

The girl made her last statement before walking out. "I know Cher because I was there when she got interviewed. I am out of here. Let's go Alvina" she tapped her friend and together, they both walked out of the living room.

Afina stared at their stiff buttocks which the right workout suit had pressed aggressively against as they walked away, wondering why they had to make so much effort to appear attractive.

Cher only stood there with widened eyes and frozen lids. At a loss for what to say.

"Let's just go, Cher" her friend had said and was about to walk out with her maid when Giada blocked them off with her hands.

"You have to wait until I finish this challenge" then, she turned to Afina.

Afina knew her qi was higher than the girl's and she could beat her off in combat without breaking a sweat –but why did drops of sweat begin to settle on her forehead as she watched Giada circle her on the tiny stair?

"I was not present when you got interviewed. Correct?" she asked Afina directly.

Afina nodded in return. "You weren't," she said.

"I sense the superiority of heavenly ambiance coveting your chi. The powerful aura bearing your blue hair and the same energy blinking across your blue eyes. Hmm," she sniffled. "I could almost see it and taste it on my tongue. I'd say, you— have the green qi" she finalized.

Gasps of shocks beamed across the staircase.

All from Cher, her friend, their two maids, Giada's maid, and also Gia.

"My diety!" Gia cried out and took in Afina's hand in hers.

Afina on the other hand was too shocked to even let out a single sound.

If the qi tester was a person, this girl would be one!

"And how on earth do you know that?" Cher scorned before descending the stairs on the same one as Giada. "Do not forget, according to matron Valentina, whatever family you belong to means nothing in the high house. So to me, you are nothing" she almost bit Giada's ears at the closeness to which she stood beside her.

"Then, whatever family the green qi girl belongs to is none of your business thus, in everyone's eyes, you two belong on the same social status" then, ever so slowly but sarcastically, "here– in the– high house" Giada pushed Cher's shoulder a bit causing her to stumble on the case.

If her maid hadn't dashed in a flash and held onto her, she would have fallen down the staircase in a nasty way.

Oh dear, the trees-line girl was something else!

Pained to the core and with passionate spite, "I will never be in the same class as a slum girl no matter where we are and how on earth do you know that she has a green qi!" Cher screamed too loud from Afina's perspective.

"Then my dear Cher, I am not in the same social class as a girl whose family manufactures toys for babies" then with a devious smirk. "I know of her green qi because I overheard you all mocking her and when one of you swore she had a green qi" she blurted.

What?

Not because she had a supernatural ability to know people's qi because she smelled and sensed the aura around them.

With maniacal laughter, "What were you thinking, you dummies? That I was some jin or qi tester who sees people's qi?" she clicked her fingers at their faces and walked away laughing hard with her maid.

Gia also joined in the laughter and so did the other two maids but when Cher shot the maids a devious glare, the two maids quit laughing but Gia did not.

Gia was not Cher's maid and could only be controlled by her little miss which was Afina.

"Let's go deity Afina" Gia urged Afina who was too surprised by Giada's humorous act.

Together, they walked away leaving Cher, her friend, and their maids transfixed on the spot.

"I like miss Giada already!" Gia shrieked as she and Afina walked out of the living room.

"We have two toy manufacturing companies. Two!" they heard Cher cry out from behind and again, Gia resumed her laughter which fetched Afina into laughing too.
