He spat out gloatingly, “Who still uses such an old magic trick these days? Look, the butterflies aren't even flying out of the two-centimeter range. Just what kind of weak holographic device are you using? Put it away and let this master here show you some real magic tricks.” “You.” Urea became upset when she heard Sanchez's remark. “What the hell is wrong with you?” “What do you mean?” Sanchez put on an innocent expression “I'm just trying to prevent an innocent kid from being fooled by your lame tricks.” “You…” Urea gnashed her teeth, feeling furious, especially when she saw the latter staring at her with such an expression. “I think you're just--” “Okay. You two had better stop arguing. It's not a good impact on the kid.” Uast stepped in to save the day on what could have escalated into a huge argument between the two. “He was the one who started it.” Urea bites her lips in discontent. But she knew that arguing in front of a kid wasn't a good thing. As a result, she could only vent her anger on Sanchez by giving him a cold glare. “Count yourself lucky today, young man.” Sanchez seems nonchalant about her angry mood. “Well, I think it's you who should count yourself lucky today, young lady.” Want to steal my idol away from me? He-he. Not giving you any chance to do that. Giving a humph, he shifted his gaze away from her, presenting a contrary attitude to Asher. “Do you want me to show you some realistic magic trick, Asher? Big brother here has some amazing tricks you would love.” Urea became provoked, seeing Sanchez's actions. “Why don't you create something new of your own? Why bother to steal my idea? Asher, big sister has some other cool magic tricks. Do you want to see it? Let me show you.” Sanchez rolled his eyes inwardly. “I'm pretty sure my tricks are better than yours.” “Then let's compete to see which is the best.”“Deal.” A smirk appeared on his face. “Don't shed tears once I've beaten you to a loss.” “In your dreams.” The two seem to have entered a competitive state and began to bring out the best of their skills. Asher, who was on the receiving end, was so entertained that his eyes wouldn't stop dazzling every time he saw an astonishing scene. 'Woo, I'm going to tell Ayaan that it's possible to spin a fire on your hand. Maybe I can try it out with him.' [Author: Well, let's pretend we didn't hear the little guy's inner thought (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠).] The two were so absorbed in their state that Uast had to inform them when the ceremony began. But unfortunately, the two ended up in a draw. Sanchez seems unhappy with the results. “Let's go another round once the ceremony is over.” “Call.” … The stadium seats were already filled up by the students. A virtual screen, thousands of feet in size, was suspended in midair, where the thousands of students could clearly see the scenario that was occurring above the stage. At the same time, on the screen, everyone saw a middle-aged man walking across the stage. His appearance appeared languid, giving one him demeanor of a person uninterested about life. His rich blonde hair fell loosely across his shoulder, waving around per his stride. He was dressed in a white suit that was embroidered with several intricate gold designs. But what took Sylvia by surprise wasn't his lethargic imagery but instead those fiery red eyes of his. They appeared to be alive, blazing with an intense thirst for destruction. 'Who is he?' As if she had heard her thoughts, Urea leaned closer to Sylvia and whispered, “That is Sir Vashti. His actual full name is Vashti Kozak. He comes from an unknown planet.” “Unknown planet?” Sylvia was confused by the new term. Urea didn't suspect that Sylvia did not know what an unknown planet was. She thought Sylvia was asking her a rhetorical question to further facilitate their conversation. “Hmm. An unknown planet is a planet that has been stripped away from its universe axis. Most planets do get destroyed during the shift by a space storm, but some do survive the unfortunate catastrophe.” “The planet Sir Vashti was born in, stripped away from its universe axis. However, his situation could be said to be a lucky and unlucky one among others. His planet got destroyed during the shift, but for some reason, his body was unharmed during the process.” “Some space mercenaries found his body floating aimlessly in the space. Thinking it was some casualty from a nearby battle, the mercenary brought him to their ship to offer him a proper burial. When they arrived at his side, they were surprised to find him still breathing with his body uninjured.” “Can you believe it? He survived a planet's destruction without any injuries on his body. After a complex body research, it was later discovered that the force when the planet was destructing had unknowingly fused into him, causing his body to undergo a new evolution.” “I wouldn't call it an evolution but a living disaster. It's said if the force in his body was triggered, the whole planet would be obliterated. What a scary power that is. Although the powerful force has been contained, it's still scary to think of.”Taking note of Urea's narration, Sylvia gazed at the middle-aged man who was standing on the stage. If not for his unusual eye color, he would have given one the impression of an ordinary person. Who would have thought that there was a time-ticking bomb that might go off anytime on such a backward planet like this? At that moment, Sylvia saw that blazing red eyes took a glimpse at her before shifting away. It was only for a slight moment, yet she felt as if she had fallen into the deep crater of an active volcano. If it weren't for the cool sensation that came into her body afterward, she felt that she would have been cooked alive if the man had looked away a second later. What a scary power. “Sylvia, what's wrong.” Urea saw her odd expression and became worried. “Nothing. I'm fine. I just felt a bit hot. That's why.” Sylvia assured her with a smile. “Oh. You did scare me for a moment.” Seeing the situation settled, Sylvia looked back at the man on the stage. But this time, she didn't feel any hotness in her body when she stared into his eyes.
