NOVEL NEXT Chapter 98: Threatened
And she was right about what she felt, that Jennifer would soon come out of her secluded magical training.
Jennifer at the moment now knew how to unleash the spell. But she couldn't unleash it in an instant by just thinking about it. She still had to utter the words for the spell before being able to unleash that attack.
Therefore, once she could get over this, she would come out from her magical training in seclusion to come face Helena.

"Something is not right with senior Helena" Deborah said to her sister and Lucretia who was by her side.
"How do you mean?" Lucretia asked with an arched brow.
"Not really anything bad. But from the way that she spoke, I could perceive a sense of urgency in her tone." Deborah replied.
"Hmm. Then that means you must be talking about the fight that she is going to have very soon with Jennifer" Lucretia said.
"A fight?" Lauren asked.
"Yea. A spellcasting battle." Lucretia replied.
"Oh. Was the match fixated between them or it's a concluding fight?" Deborah asked.
"Yea. It is a concluding fight." Lucretia said.
She then said further "Helena beat Jennifer in their first spellcasting battle and utterly disgraced her by placing one of her feet on Jennifer's head."
"Then annoyed by what Helena did, Jennifer entered into secluded magical training to train herself hard on spellcasting. So when she eventually comes out of her training, she will appear before Helena to fight her again. And if she defeats Helena, she might probably do worse than what Helena did to her."
Haha!
Lauren And Deborah grinned.
"She can't do any worse. Why? Because senior Helena will definitely beat her again. And this time, senior Helena will do worse things to her than when they initially clashed."
"The fool might be made to eat the sands of her shoes or made to lick the big toes of her foot. I trust my idol, senior Helena, she will certainly try her best to disgrace and embarrass the idiot. Haha! She is just so stupidly blind to go against the Chosen One" Deborah said.
"You think so? What if Jennifer beat her? That girl has been training hard ever since Helena embarrassed her. And from the things that I saw, it's like Helena has been slacking off in her training. She could be defeated this time by Jennifer who will come out for blood" Deborah said, stating her reasons.
"Nope. She hasn't been slacking off. Don't forget that she chased us out of her room because she wanted to continue her comprehension of spells. And even if she has been slacking off, I don't think Jennifer will still be able to dominate and subdue her. She is the Chosen One, you know. All shall fall at her feet, no matter what they try to do to resist that overbearing power from her" Deborah said.
Lucretia looked at Deborah and only shook her head.
"What?" Deborah asked because of the gaze she was looked with by Deborah.
"You have so much confidence in Helena. I hope your towering confidence in her doesn't comes down crumbling to rubble someday." Deborah replied.
"Haha. My confidence in her is like that of a divine mountain that can't be moved or shaken by any force. That's how solid my confidence in her is. It's literally indestructible and Immovable. Haha!" Deborah said and grinned
"Same here, Lucretia. That's also how my confidence in her is." Lauren who had been surprisingly quiet since they left Jennifer's room said with a brilliant smile in her face.
"I see. But why is your confidence in her so strong and unyielding? Hope it's not that you are having blind confidence in her simply because she is the Chosen One?" Lucretia asked.
"Well, that's one of the reasons. However, our full confidence in her stems from what our dad said to us about her. There was something he told us that made our confidence in her totally unbendable by any force" Deborah answered.
"Oh. Hope you don't mind telling me what he told you?" Lucretia asked.
"Nope. I don't mind. I will tell you" Deborah said.
She then said further "You think that she is just being called the chosen one for nothing. She is not. That's a title that comes with great unlimited power."
"So, what my dad told me was just that. That she is someone that possesses an immeasurable power to stop by herself all the endless wars that are going on in the world and unite all the kingdoms in the universe."
"Therefore, how can someone who is said to possess unmatched fathomless powers be beaten by some girl that doesn't still understand who she is going up against."
"So Lucretia, that is where I got my confidence from. Not from her, but from the infinitely overpowering strength that she possesses" Deborah said and grinned.
And before Lucretia could speak, Lauren who loved to contribute to things like this quickly said "Although our idol is still young, and probably same with her powers. However, her strength can't be one that will be matched by some stupid ram that can't recognize an overbearing, nine-neaded dragon when it sees one and then thinks it is grass that can be chewed upon"
Lauren said this while Deborah laughed.
"Well, you girls have point. I just hope that you won't be disappointed on that day." Lucretia said.
"Well, even if she is beaten, my confidence in her won't die down. Instead, it will grow stronger. Just see how she will rise back from the ashes like a Phoenix and burn to cinders all that will dare to go against her" Deborah said.
"Okay. So, do I come to you girls room? Or you girls will come to mine?" Lucretia asked.
"Nah. Come to ours. Our room will certainly be far better than yours" Lauren said quickly while Lucretia rolled her eyes at all.
"Alright then. You can lead the way" Lucretia said while Lauren nodded.
Then they walked together to their 501st room.

- Fey Kingdom -
"Sylla, what are you going to do about the Farria race who are possibly eyeing our kingdom?" Sylla's mom asked.
Sylla who was dressed in a golden and linen robe and sat on a golden throne said to her mom "Mother, I have started making plans about that. Also, I have entered into an alliance with a kingdom that have warriors who are quite powerful. However, they aren't that many in number and may not be able to pull the tide in our favour if a cold-blood war eventually breaks out between our races"
"What race is that?" Sylla's mom asked curiously.
"The Azagot race" Sylla replied.
"Oh. Those armor-skinned, reptile-like beings." Sylla's mom said in a light of understanding.
She then sighed.
"I know why the Farria race are eyeing our kingdom. On a normal day, they won't dare to come to us to ask us to deliver our mined mineral resources to them. But now that a great number of our magnificent warriors are dead, that useless and insignificant Farria race can dare to come to us and act overbearingly before us."
"And if this goes on for long, other small kingdoms will surely come to us. And I am sure that they won't just ask for our resources, they will demand that our males become slaves to them and our females their sex objects."
"Things have gotten really bad for our kingdom, Sylla. I just hope that we can scale through this without any more member of our race dying. We have lost too much that we can't imagine losing any more member. Or our race will near total extinction" Sylla's mom said.
Sylla sadly shook her head.
"I will surely find a way to contact the vampire race and the werewolf race. It's just that I don't know if they will answer us this time. You know, they also lost a lot of their members the last time and won't want to go through that trauma of losing a large number of their members again."
"But nevertheless, I will try to contact them to see what they will say. I just really hope that they will agree to help us." She said.
"I know, daughter. Now that my husband, Kale, who was their good friend was killed by those Summoners, Aria and Adams might not have that connection to our kingdom again. They might not want to help us since what linked them to our kingdom is dead."
"But who knows, they could still agree to help us" Sylla's mom said while Sylla nodded.
"That was why I said I will still try to contact them. I only hope that they don't have any issues that they are currently dealing with. Or we are only left with the Azagot race, mom" Sylla said while her mom's eyes unexpectedly glistened.
Tears had actually began to well up in them because of what Sylla said.
Once the Werewolf race and the Vampire race have critical issues that they were also dealing with, they will definitely be on their own.
"This pain and suffering is getting too much for us and our kingdom, Sylla. When are we going to come out of it?"
"A once prosperous and flourishing kingdom has been reduced to a state where it cannot do anything but listen to the overbearing demands of a damned small race."
"I just hope that what might come later in future won't come to take away our entire lives." Sylla's mom said with anguish radiating off of her speech.
"True, mom. But don't forget that we have Helena. She will surely come to me some day. I know she has me in her heart and totally understands what my kingdom is going through at the moment. So, she won't leave me, you and the rest of my race to suffer in all these."
"What I can only strive to do is to try my full possible best to wait for her to come back. And when she eventually comes back to me, that's the day our kingdom will truly come out of this sea of misery that we sinking to the bottom of" Sylla said with a reminiscent gaze in her eyes.
