Feral Confessions – Adrianna And The Alpha

Lia scrunched up her nose and said, "Well, the ministry wants the competition as soon as possible. We have to hurry up with the competition. We are hosting it for the last year students who will soon graduate out of the academy. Just because Adrianna doesn't know that many spells doesn't mean we can delay it for just one student. The competition will be held in a timely way so that all other students are benefited. I am sorry Professor Ziu, but we can't withhold the competition for one person." 

"Madam Lia, I don't know what to say, but we cannot rush Adrianna into something she isn't even prepared for. The competition is going to be held amongst witches and wizards who are considered to be the most powerful people in the world. This is not something that can be taken lightly and we certainly cannot push an inexperienced person into it," said Ziu. trying to drill sense into Lia. 

However, it didn't work. "Professor Ziu, I sense that you are being partial to one witch. Would it be far-fetched for me to say that you are being partial to her because she is going to be the queen of the wizard kingdom?" 

Professor Ziu narrowed his eyes and scoffed. "Madam Lia, whether I am being partial towards Adrianna is not the question. The question is, why are you trying to put Adrianna, who happens to be of your blood, in this kind of trouble? She is, after all, the daughter of your sister Shira." 

Lia became angry at his sentence. "Professor Ziu!" she shouted. "Do not overstep your boundaries! It is none of your concern as to what my relationships with people are. The ministry has already decided, and we will go forward with the competition." 

Zola, who was witnessing this argument, didn't know how to stop her mother from becoming even more agitated. She had wanted to create a good impression on her professor, but her mother was doing just the opposite. And the root cause of her dilemma was her cousin sister Adrianna. Immediately, she interrupted the conversation and stopped her mother from saying any more untoward things. 

"Mother, Professor Ziu is right. After all, Adrianna is an inexperienced witch. However, since your ministry is in a hurry, an easy competition can be placed for her, like how they make one for the small children, and a difficult one can be hosted for the rest of the eligible students." Then, she turned to professor Ziu and, with a glint in her eyes, she asked, "What do you think Prrofessor?" 

She knew that by suggesting an easy competition for Adrianna, it would suggest that Professor Ziu wasn't a good teacher and this was one thing Ziu could never tolerate. 

Ziu looked at Lia with blazing eyes and said, "Madam Lia, you prepare the competition and I will ensure Adrianna is ready." After saying that, Ziu snapped his fingers and disappeared. 

Zola smiled while Lia went to her study. They both had a lot to prepare. 

Meanwhile, when Adrianna returned to her palace, she summoned Fleur again. "I want to meet Dmitri." 

"But Adrianna, it is not safe. Don't you know that the moment Vikra senses that you have left the wizard kingdom, he will come after you?" Fleur pleaded. 

"Nothing will happen. Disguise me as someone else," Adrianna insisted. 

Fleur was becoming more and more nervous about Adrianna's safety. She decided to talk to Isidorus about it later. "Adrianna, your safety is my concern. Can you please listen to me for once?" 

"Fleur, do as you are told! Just disguise me as someone else and I will go!" Adrianna shouted. 

Fleur retorted back, "You can disguise yourself! After all, you are a witch!"

Adrianna narrowed her eyes at Fleur. "Hmph! Fine!" Adrianna snapped her fingers. However, instead of becoming someone else, only her clothes changed into those of a peasant; she still looked like her original self. She snapped her fingers again, but no matter what she did, only her clothes changed. Her face would remain the same. 

Fleur had crossed her arms across her chest and had been watching Adrianna's futile antics. Finally, she burst out laughing and offered to teach Adrianna how to disguise herself 

Adrianna looked at Fleur exasperatedly and nodded, almost as if asking Fleur to hurry on with it. 

"In order to disguise yourself, you first have to think of a person who you want to look like. That person needs to be someone you have seen within the past few minutes or someone whose face you remember clearly. Then, you should keep his or clothes in mind. Once the image of the person who you want to look like is clear, you want to move your hand across your body from top to bottom and say, "Haazio." The spell needs to be spoken in a certain way and only then will you change your guise." 

"In what way?" asked Adrianna.

"Ha - a- z – i – o"

"You have to whisper it and not speak it loudly." Fleur knew that it took weeks for people to even speak the spell correctly, so she was sure that she had put Adrianna in a difficult situation. She inwardly smiled because she really didn't want Adrianna to exit the kingdom, especially because she had just defeated Cy again yesterday and it was possible that he would come back for revenge. 

Adrianna remembered the face of a girl in her class. She closed her eyes and cast the spell. In the next minute, she looked exactly like that girl wearing a peasant dress.
