Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 2)

Page 357

She decided to stay inside her massive workspace that day instead of doing another fieldwork. Her face looked so radiant and her smile was so enchanting as she was busy writing her two books entitled Forbidden Arts and Dark Arts.

The two trainees who failed to pass her test were constantly looking at each other. They were secretly wondering why their senior celestial sister and mentor was seriously writing something. They were in awe and anxious as they observed her alluring appearance and precise movements from where they were standing. They had a feeling that what she was doing would give them a hard and complicated ordeal in the future, their intuition was telling them that they would never like the next assignment...

The following day after they failed the exam, they begged for a retake thinking they would never fail twice. Luckily, she immediately agreed. This time, they decided to wait for her to finish counting before they started running but she easily hit their butts and they passed out again due to excruciating pain!

The moment they gained consciousness, they begged for another retake and she also agreed. They tried running in different directions and changing their motions but her arrow seemed to have a mind of its own as it easily made its way to their bottom!

After several failed attempts, they finally accepted that they needed help so they approached the former trainees. They became happy and excited when they saw their comrades were promoted to the next rank after passing the final test. This new batch of entry-level gods and goddesses were rewarded with an amazing young adult appearance, personalized dwelling, power upgrades, and new tasks and responsibilities right after their promotion.

Alpha and Omega never felt so miserable and annoyed while asking these former comrades about how to evade her arrow. They were all tight-lipped and had not given them any useful information. In the end, they decided to change their approach and so they begged her to change their final test.

She happily agreed to the request and told them to wait as she prepared their new test. She proceeded behind her desk and began writing. They could not help but secretly wonder what she was writing, why she was writing it, and above all, why she was doing it manually like a mortal when she could easily conjure those books according to her will!

Her smile broadened and looked admiringly at the two black books in her hands. She proceeded to where the two trainees were patiently waiting and entrusted one book to each of them.

They studied the outward appearance of the book and checked some of the content before their frowning face looked at her questioningly.

She wanted to laugh at their adorable expression and confusion but she stopped herself from doing so. She knew why they were looking at her like she was evil incarnate.

"Your final test is so easy. Each of you must look for an outstanding mortal and convince this mortal to become your dedicated trainee. You will teach them everything I taught you including what was written in the book that I entrusted to you..." She told them gently and then smile from ear to ear.

"You know that mortals had a negative association with black color. Why use it as your book covering? Do you want them to think that this knowledge was from the evil side?" Alpha could not help but express his hesitation.

"What is wrong with using a black cover? You know that black evokes mystery, luxury, and sophistication. Now my little cuties... It will be up to you how you are going to convince your future disciple to learn what is written in that book you are holding." She declared smoothly and winked like a shrewd peddler trying to sell her damaged items.

"But why call it 'Forbidden Arts' and 'Dark Arts' when it was Celestial Abilities?" Omega immediately countered. Using a black cover is one thing but naming it that way would truly paint it a bad image.

"What is initially useful would become forbidden when it is used incorrectly and even the purest would soon become darkest when used inappropriately. "

"Then there is no mortal who would be good enough... It is hard enough to find someone who could survive the physical preparation but it is harder to find someone who would not abuse it once they master it..." The two trainees absentmindedly replied.

"That's why this is a final test. Do you think a final test is easy? This way you will be able to showcase the level of your judgment... " She looked at them seriously before she continued," So choose wisely!"

They knew this is a very tricky test but when compared to the other method that they already tried multiple times and then miserably failed countless times... Well, this new way seemed so much easier and more promising!
