Law Of Creation

Mingyue stopped in front of the door of her room. Mingyue couldn't wait to meet her dormmates again, as she felt that it had been a long time since she saw them.

[It had been a long time since the last time I was here. Usually, I would only take ten or twenty days for my holiday to return to my family's domain. And I would spend the rest of my holiday with my roommates.]

[Linlin and Xiao Lin usually didn't return to their home because their home was too far from Royal City. Fangfang only returned once, and that was to pick up her little brother. In the end, I was the only one that usually went home. And this time, I even had the whole month without seeing them. Also, I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye. Sigh.]

Mingyue took out her room key from her side pocket, and then she put the key inside the keyhole. [Did they know about that accident? Or the Academy tried to cover that accident from the student here?] Mingyue was in the dilemma as she didn't know what to tell to her roommates. In the end, she just left it to the fate.

Mingyue pushed the door open, and she saw four little kids in front of her. The four of them was an adorable little girl with confusion and surprise on their face.

[Eh? Did I just go to the wrong room?] Mingyue was in a panic as she saw their expression.

"I'm sorry!" Mingyue immediately bowed her head and then closed the door. She was surprised by what she saw.

[Eh? Eh? I am not in the wrong room, right? It is the usual door and I used the usual key, but the content was different from the last time I was here.] In the end, Mingyue just went to find the dormitory's landlady.

Since it was already past noon, the landlady usually stayed inside the office. I knocked the office door.

The landlady opened the door and asked, "What do you want." With a flat face of course.

[Yeah, this was the usual landlady.] Mingyue felt relief after seeing a familiar face.

"Er, miss landlady, my room is.." Mingyue showed her my room key to the landlady. After taking a good look, the landlady just went back to the office without saying anything.

[Hey hey, I wanted your help!] Mingyue was surprised by the cold reception of the landlady, but it was well-known that the landlady was a woman with a few words.

But not long after, the landlady came back with a key in her hands.

"Swap the keys. Now you are in the Advanced Learning's area. You know the place." After the landlady took MIngyue's original key, she just went back to the office without telling any information.

"Ah!" Mingyue was surprised. She didn't think that she would forget dormitory's regulation.

[I forgot! Since I became a new first-grader, I should move out.]

[Sigh, how could I forget that? But, who will be my roommates now? Fangfang? Xiao Lin and Linlin were very close, so they should be together. If at the Fundamental Education dormitory we were given a four-person room, now we would be given a two-person room. A bigger room only for a pair.]

[Let's see, what is my number. What number is this, 193. Okay, let's go!]

"Take you luggage!" Suddenly the landlady shouted at Mingyue

[Luggage? Did Dad sent another luggage?] Mingyue was startled. When she received the luggage, it turned out the luggage that was mentioned by the landlady was her things in the old room.

['Hey, why didn't any of you bring my things with you!' is what I want to scream at those three girls in my mind. Sigh, I couldn't blame them since it might be the dormitory's regulation. Cannot do anything.]

[Since I was given a new uniform, I put all of them into my luggage. New room, I am coming!]

…

[What the heck with this arrangement!] Mingyue couldn't help but scream out her annoyance she felt now. Fortunately, there was no one around except Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu here.

After Mingyue arrived at her room, she realized that there was no other student around. Or more precisely, there was no one that filled the room around my room. She felt that she was far from civilization, there was only a dark corridor and no sound at all, except her footsteps.

[Too silence! Where is the other human!] Mingyue couldn't help but scream in her mind.

And now Mingyue has arrived at her new place. There is a bunk bed without the bed, like the first time she arrived at the Academy. There is a clothes cupboard with a desk beside it. It was a simple room, similar to the old room. The difference was only the room's size. But Mingyue was not filled with the earlier happy mood when she arrived at the Academy. Her mood was the exactly the opposite it.

[This room is akin a prison. . .] Is what Mingyue murmured.

[This arrangement made me like a bait for those assassins.]

[I was the only one who was given this room. And different from the other room, this room was placed at the far end of the dormitory. There were no people in the nearby room. I felt like being discriminated inside the Academy. Seriously??]

[I know that the Academy's personnel tried to bait those assassins, but I didn't expect that they would blatantly serve me on the chopping block.]

[Sigh, fine. Just let them arrange what they want to arrange. I should have left this place next month at most. So this arrangement is convenient for me.] After Mingyue took a bed from the storage room, she didn't install it in the bunk bed but left it on the floor.

After that, Mingyue allowed the girls to come out and continue their cultivation in the room. With no one to disturb, both of them should be able to move around the room freely.

…

Day 11th, the month of the earth, aka spring.

"Hey! Everyone!" Mingyue was running to the place where Fangfang, Xiao Lin, Linlin, and Xiao San gathered. But unlike the usual tension, their face didn't have the usual excitement when they saw my face.

[Is there something wrong?] Mingyue couldn't help but wonder about it.

"Ya, Mingyue. Are you okay?" Fangfang was the first one to greet Mingyue. And as usual, she was concerned about Mingyue's health.

"Un, I am okay. He he. . ." Mingyue giggled.

"Woah Mingyue, you are surely hiding yourself very well!" Xiao San chimed in

"Yeah. We were all surprised, you know!" Xiao Lin's tension suddenly became high. Usually, she was like this only when we were gossiping.

"What is it?" Mingyue was confused. Or it was more like there were a lot of things that she hid from them.

Xiao Lin grabbed Mingyue's shoulder and shook me. "Xia family, Xia family, you know!" Xiao Lin and Xiao San had a surprised look on their face.

Mingyue only scratched her cheek in confusion, since she didn't have any recollection after she finished the Graduation Exam at the Green Mountain. "Er, what did happen that time? I didn't remember anything."

"After you finished the exam with red coloured clothes, teacher Liu was angry. He was shouting the Academy's personnel to check the Green Mountain. And you were brought by someone we didn't know. In the end, the teacher only told us that you were brought back to Xia family's domain, to your home." Fangfang explained in simple word.

"Ooh. . . I see."

Fangfang continued, but from a story became a gossip. "At first, we thought you came from Xia family's domain. But later we heard a big gossip in the Royal City." She whispered to Mingyue. But all the girls could hear her voice.

"The granddaughter of the almighty General Xia was in a bad condition!" Fangfang said with a low voice.

Mingyue coughed because she was clearly surprised.

[General Xia? Who the heck is that!] Mingyue exclaimed in her mind.

"He called upon hundreds of healer from many Mercenary Guild around the Fire Kingdom. At first, they were hired to heal the granddaughter. But later, it became a 'kidnapping case'!" Fangfang continued her story with a tone of someone telling a folklore.

Mingyue coughed again. [Kidnapping? What kidnapping? Grandpa was only asking them to heal me!] Mingyue retorted with all of her strength in her mind.

"Oooooohh. . . . What Xiao Lin said was right! I didn't expect that, Mingyue!" Xiao San and Linlin exclaimed at the same time.

"I told you girls already, but no one believed me." Xiao Lin puffed her cheeks to the other girls.

Mingyue couldn't endure their prying eyes, so she asked Fangfang to continue her story.

"Yeah, hundreds of healer was 'kidnapped' by general Xia! Many people said that they were forced to pledge allegiance to the Xia Family"

[What the heck with that story! It had no relationship, you know!] Mingyue couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Mingyue felt something weird. Not only the story from Fangfang was weird, the girls' reaction was also weird.

[Linlin was a shy girl, but only limited to someone new. She should be a chatty girl similar with Xiao Lin. But now she was a kind of silent. She didn't dare to look or even trying to talk to me.]

[Xiao Lin was still chatty as usual. But her expression was kind of strained. Is she not feeling well?]

[Xiao San usually together with Hanni, but now they were split up since Hanni had dropped out of the Academy. She said that her family called her back to her hometown, so there was nothing she could do for her. Hanni also invited us to her home if we arrived at the Dancing Fire City.]

[Fangfang was the most natural, she was the only one who talked a lot with me while the others only chimed in and never really talked with me.]

[What happened here?] Mingyue was stressed by this fact. One month was enough to change people.

In the end, Mingyue spent the whole day with a new kind of loneliness. Fortunately, there were Xiao Wu and Xiao Jing who always together with Mingyue.

But it was the first time she felt this kind of loneliness.
