Eun Ae noticed the mans stare so she looked back at him.
"*cough*... We will now begin!" After Headmaster Gu said this they started testing students powers one after another.
They then got to Yun Chen. Yun Chen went up to the middle podium. When he reached the middle he looked at were Eun Ae was and smiled. Lights flashed red and black. The lights were so blinding it made him dizzy.
"Mid-Level sorceress king, firepower!" One of the teachers announced.
"AHH! Not only extremely handsome but powerful too!!"
"Yun Chen!! Shake my hand!!"
"Yun Chen, look my way!!"
Everyone gasped. The most powerful student at the moment is Yun Chen. All the girls couldn't help but squeal. Chen Yeyi shot them ugly glances but they didn't care. Instead, they laughed at her mockingly.
"She thinks just because she's pretty she's good enough for Yun Chen! Please wake up!"
"Chen Yeyi! Last time I checked both you and Yun Chen are single! Don't get too far ahead of yourself!"
Yun Chen walked off the podium and ran his fingers through his hair. It seemed his master's training really worked.
Now was Chen Yeyi's turn. She confidently walked up to the podium, looking down at everyone. All the boys couldn't help but admire her.
"She's so beautiful..!"
"What a natural beauty! Do you think she'd date me?"
"She's way out of your league dude. Stop daydreaming!"
Gray and white lights surrounded her causing her to stumble back a few steps.
"Low-level sorceress king, wind power!" Chen Yeyi proudly got down as all stares where on her.
"Of course our Chen Yeyi is a perfect match for Yun Chen!"
"Not only beautiful but powerful!"
Her entourage flooded her with praises making Chen Yeyi get cocky.
Even though Chen Yeyi looked cocky, she knew that wind power was the weakest of all! She was so disappointed!
"Miss. Kim Eun Ae your up next!" Headmaster Gu smiled at Eun Ae as he announced. He had figured it out. This girl was Mother Healer's daughter! He had always wanted his children to learn from her, so it's best to curry favor with Eun Ae!
Eun Ae breathed in deeply as she walked towards the stage. 'This is it, mom! Once I get into this school its one step closer to who you wanted me to be! I will not let you down! I will avenge you!' As Eun Ae thought this she reached the middle of the podium.
Chen Yeyi however, had a different path in mind for Eun Ae. She knew people all over admired her, but she wanted to wreck that admiration for once and all.
She quickly sent a text to someone under the name "Doomsday".
The text was quickly read and soon after there was a loud rumbling noise under Eun Ae's feet.
"BOOM!"
An explosion rang in the ears of everyone. People quickly ran away to take cover. Chen Yeyi seemed to be the only person who wasn't afraid, but she still hid and put on a scared face.
"Eun Ae!!" Chen Yeyi cried out. Her face showed sadness and fear, however, her eyes did not.
"Urggh!" Eun Ae was knocked back. As she tried to get up, she felt her knees buckle and fell to the ground. Just when she was about to be consumed by darkness, a pink shadow quickly knocked her out of the way.
"Master! Master!" A frantic little Neko began to shake Eun Ae.
"Little Neko..?" Eun Ae weakly looked at the little Neko.
Headmaster Gu popped out from cover. He cleared his throat. When he looked around and noticed everyone was okay he sighed. "I'm terribly sorry, Eun Ae. Today was the only test day available. Since our testing podium is now destroyed, it would be against school rules to let you become a student."
Eun Ae quickly got up. With a despondent expression, she said" But that's not fair! This explosion had nothing to do with me! I should get a chance just like everyone here! Find another way to test my powers!"
"I'm terribly sorry, Eun Ae. But we must follow protocol! Everyone please return home and prepare to come back in 6 weeks! Enjoy the rest of summer break!" As much as it hurt Headmaster Gu, he would not risk his job for this girl. He would just send his kids to scout for her later.
Eun Ae was very displeased but she knew there was no reason to argue. She would forever remember Headmaster Gu's actions today.
As a tear rolled down her cheek she sniffled and said. "It's okay.. who wants to go here anyways! Little Neko lets go." She held little Nekos hand and walked away.
Yun Chen watched as she walked away with a sullen expression. 'No! She has to go here. The only reason I'm at this stupid school is because of her!'
Yun Chen discreetly followed after Eun Ae, making sure she never saw him.

Before she knew it, Eun Ae had reached her mother's Medical Shop.
The shop looked like a regular flower shop with lots of flowers and bright colors on the outside. The inside, however, is what shocks everyone. Its huge inside, staircases going up and down. Upstairs is where her mother studied medicine and took care of patients. Downstairs was her cultivation area. No one was allowed in it. Eun Ae, of course, was an exception.
"Master...Are you upset?" The little Neko looked up at Eun Ae with sad eyes.
Eun Ae self-deprecating laughed at herself.
"Little Neko what's there to be sad about? I should have known things weren't going to be easy especially under my aunts care! I know this had to be their doing, I just don't know how." Eun Ae shook her head as she walked into the shop.
She breathed in the air. 'It looks exactly the same. Someone must be cleaning this place up.'
"Who's there!" A small frail voice called out to Eun Ae.
"Ahh!" From the surprise, Eun Ae bumped into a bookcase and fell to the ground, books everywhere. She squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
A little boy came from the light. He looked to be around the same age as little Neko. He had the same ears and tail however his appearance was weak and innocent. He had a black bob-cut hairstyle, bright yellow eyes, and cute round glasses. He was wearing blue polka dot pajamas and was holding a teddy bear and flashlight.
When Eun Ae saw him her heart melted... she immediately ran up to him and squeezed him tight.
"AHH!! Don't worry little cutie! It's just me!!" Eun Ae squealed as she held him tightly.
When little Neko saw this he became very envious.
"What are you doing here, Yu Shao?" little Neko looked at Yu Shao with disgust.'Let go of my Master!' he thought.
"Ahh...Yu Sheng, you're here too!" Yu Shao ecstatically said as he hugged Eun Ae.
"Hmmph!" Yu Sheng turned his head away as he looked at his surroundings.

Yun Chen puzzledly looked through the window. 'Where do all these Neko's keep coming from?' He shook his head as he flatly smiled. He slowly walked through the door of the Medical Shop until he caught sight of Eun Ae. He cleared his throat as he approached her.
"Eun Ae...long time no see!" he looked at Eun Ae with a breathtaking smile.
Eun Ae slowly looked up. "Yun Chen?" She puzzledly looked at him.
