The Thistle
13 - Selection

Master LouElla is explaining the history of Nerdia in the

front class. None of the disciples dared to move. Because that is

teaching is the fiercest teacher in the classroom but the friendliest outside

classs. Master LouElla does not hesitate to punish anyone who does not

notice the lesson, even though he's an Enya's son.

FayLinn was not interested in history at all

Nerdians. In his mind, during the break he will soon meet

DesTyn and ask for help to find a Zinnia history book. DesTyn is no longer

working again at the academy library. So, FayLinn will sneak out of

academy, heading for DesTyn's house. After DesTyn showed me the place where the book is

that being, FayLinn would immediately turn to the library and borrow the book.

Since he knew he was a Zinnia,

FayLinn became ignorant of his school lessons. He looked more

exit the class through a large window. Look at Rouya's trees and

BirdNerd who flew.Damanya seemed to be filled with all Nerdia.

”FayLinn, name the brightest Rouya fruit

the light is in the night !” louElla's orders once her eyes catch FayLinn

who does not pay attention to the lesson.

”Rouya Yellow, ” say FayLinn without turning.

LouElla furious. FayLinn, though not paying attention

lessons, but he can always answer questions. But for LouElla,

FayLinn is getting unruly. The girl felt like she had the upper hand.

LouElla was forced to have patience with him, or WinkGef's sympathy failed

grabbed.

”Then, how to make whim ?”

Sounded the murmuring of the whole child loudly. Because Teacher

LouElla is not discussing whim today and there is never any discussion

whim in history lessons. Whim is a legendary food in Nerdia. Faylinn

not hearing what teacher LouElla's next question was, she was

smilingly looking at the BirdNerd line in the sky. Apparently there are attractions

in distance.

”FayLinn !”

FayLinn was surprised, then arranged his sitting position

possible absorbency. His hands were folded on the table and his eyes were fixed in the direction

Master LouElla who was holding back was angry. LouElla is approaching her stool.

”How to make whim, FayLinn ?” ask

the woman with a slightly softened voice, and a pair of eyes stared intently at the

Faylin.

FayLinn shook his head, ”I don't know, Mom. ”

”Hm, I can't believe it. ”

”Really, I don't know. I just know how

eating whim. ”

The laughter of the entire class broke out instantly. Gurus

LouElla stomped her feet, and the laughter instantly became silent. All

the student again sits neatly in his chair, folding his hands at the table and the view

straight ahead.

”Later noon there will be a show in the hall. Class

it should show and show the ability of each. Every Nerdian child,

must have the skills to survive in Nerdia. Understand ?”

”Understanding, Buuu !”

LouElla smile. There will be a noon show

these. And he's sure he can get FayLinn this time.

Ooo

That afternoon, the academy hall was already filled

Nerdia's disciples. Around the hall that was in the shape of a circle there was

several tables are arranged far apart, forming a circle. In every

desk, there has been a teacher who will assess the expertise of each student. Outer

the hall also had several teachers who would assess the skill of riding a BirdNerd.

Every child is welcome to choose who will show their skills to whom. Child

those who are considered to have the best skills will be sent to the Rouya Festival

next week.

The Rouya Festival is an anticipated festival

all Nerdia. All the people from all over Nerdia will pour out in the capital of Nerdia.

The Rouya Festival is held to commemorate the anniversary of Nerdia. That time,

all citizens are free to enjoy the food served by the royal family. And

of course, the BirdNerd attraction in the Nerdia sky will be a moment that is not

forgotten. There will be the best SkyDiver coronation.

FayLinn stood behind his friends.

Some of his classmates who advanced first, many have been eliminated.

Children their age do not have the same skills

the classmate who had already turned into a teenager.

FayLinn looked at both of his palms. She didn't

he has every skill other than controlling the weather through his hands. And DesTyn

ordered FayLinn to keep his skills a secret. Especially in whim

chilly.

”FayLinn, you already have what you will

show?” ask a friend. In his friend's hand was a pile of thread

made from multi-colored Rouya rods. As FayLinn remembers, this one's friend

it is good at making wall hangings from Rouya threads.

FayLinn.

”Then why are your hands smoking?”

FayLinn's surprised. He saw smoke or to be exact

the water vapor slowly enveloped his hand. Chilly. FayLinn hurried in

both hands in his pockets.

”It's okay.”

FayLinn advanced his pace, approaching the crowd

the academy students are getting more and more tenuous. Many children go through the selection table with

quick one. That is, they have nothing to show, other than pictures

which they stained with ink from Rouya's fruit.

FayLinn stared out the window. Around hall

this circle has open windows. They can see

birdnerd attractions are out there. Apparently, the Enya themselves are testing

agility student/i Nerdia. Many BirdNerd and their riders failed

showing their best action. FayLinn could see those who failed to sit down

on the edge of the field with his face bowed lethargic.

Each student who shows BirdNerd attractions, the,

they should be able to control his BirdNerd flying straight up, then swooping in

down, but not down to the ground. After that, you should be able to squint

alternating. Of course this is not a real fight. Sometimes it looks like E

it was as if it was about to pounce on the student's BirdNerd, but so close, knew BirdNerd

Enya shot straight up into the sky. And the BirdNerd belonging to the students was surprised, though,

they're crashing down.

Tension-filled screeches attract attention

the children were queuing in the circle hall. They filled the window

open, applaud. Make Enya, of course.

”FayLinn, your turn.”

FayLinn gasped to hear his name called. Gurus

LouElla smilingly looked at him, extending a hand, about to take him towards

tester table. Mom VinGlow himself, Headmaster of the Nerdia Academy. Nonexistent

there are students who want to deal with Mom VinGlow. She's the oldest woman in the Academy,

inheriting the academy from his ancestors. Nobles who don't do business on Rouya's plantation, though,

but doing business at the Nerdia Academy. So, he knew very well how the children in the Academy were

Nerdia, his experience is undeniable. No one can run from him.

FayLinn wasn't sure he could hide

her skills are from Mom VinGlow.

”FayLinn, come here.”

FayLinn walked over. DesTyn's face flashed, though,

but Mom VinGlow's gaze was stronger, dragging her forward to approach the table. No

someone can help him now.

”Excuse me, Mom VinGlow.”

FayLinn heard a voice behind him. She felt

his body began to tremble. Knows his wrist is held gently, but straight

then it was gripped tightly by the owner of the voice.

Mom VinGlow stood up from her desk, and teacher LouElla

buyak. Again he had to deal with this crazy woman again. SpiiTaims.

”I ordered Enya Moss to pick up FayLinn.”

”That's impossible, ” said LouElla panic. Stay

one more step, he'll get FayLinn's big secret and his boss will

it gives tremendous rewards for its success.

Mom VinGlow walked over to SpiiTaim, temporarily

SpiiTaim won't take FayLinn's arm off. FayLinn felt that grip

so powerful. The three women stood before FayLinn, pitting each other for strength

with his eyes. FayLinn wants to get out of the three soon,

their feud did not make him at all comfortable. Especially with Mom VinGlow.

”Sorry, Miss Flowering Tier...who are you?” ask

Mom VinGlow with an authoritative voice that sounded pressing. Someone has been

grab and stop her busyness. Of course this is unforgivable.

”I SpiiTaim Birch, of the South Nerdian nobility.

I'm here to pick up FayLinn.”

Master LouElla took FayLinn's other hand,

pulled the little girl from SpiiTaim's side. SpiiTaim held his hand. Mom VinGlow's

instead of not seeing the two women, FayLinn is fighting over.

”Don't trust him Mom VinGlow. The Enya are

looking for him, on charges of assaulting Mr. DesTyn. Know he showed up

bring FayLinn. I think he's going to continue with his pending plan,

because FayLinn is missing.”

LouElla, without breathing.

”Ow, so this is Miss SpiiTaim ever

an Enya Moss told me. You, don't look like a noble.”

SpiiTaim. How could Mom VinGlow

said his last words so sharply. What eyes can't

looking at the expensive clothes with green Rouya tendrils ornaments filled the clothes from above

get below. Also fragrant as fragrant as Green Rouya which makes LouElla envious.

”Sorry, Mom VinGlow, I'm just trying to keep FayLinn,

not to be lost like yesterday. The teachers in this academy seem to be

can not keep the noble child well.”

LouElla pushed forward, but Mom VinGlow held back

her shoulder. SpiiTaim laughed mockingly. He knows, the Nerdia Academy has always

proud to have succeeded in printing noble children into children

elected to inherit Nerdia, making Nerdia the most coveted city in the world

the entire Planet Zinnia.

”Listen, Miss Birc. I don't want to know, competition

what's between you and teacher LouElla. But, no one had ever harassed the Academy

Nerdia all this time. Not as long as I'm the Headmaster. So, before

I changed my mind, you better get out of here, or the Enya

in front I command you to drag you to jail.”

SpiiTaim laughed, ”Anya said to you, you didn't

know that one Enya is my brother.”

”Oh yes, Enya who?” ask LouElla. He's very

memorize every handsome face of Enya, her skills, and her home. As he remembered,

none of the Enya are as committed as SpiiTaim.

”Hm ... You don't know yet? Enya Brak, she'll

inducted into Enya at the Rouya Festival, what a pity you guys are not

knowing this good news. And, of course, after that I won't

invited you to a party at our extended family home. The southern Nerdia. I

sure, teacher LouElla would not be strong to travel that far, let alone

without a strong BirdNerd, healthy and not hungry.

Teacher LouElla is provoked by emotion. He pushed SpiiTaim's shoulder.

Mom VinGlow prevented the two women from pushing each other with emotion. He glanced at FayLinn

the one inching, out of the circle hall. The boy looked at her for a moment, then

disappeared behind the big door. He was terrified by the behavior of these two women.

Mom VinGlow let FayLinn go. The boy will be safe while he is in

Nerdia Academy. The events of her disappearance yesterday, happened because she came out of

academy environment.

Enya Moss knows how to get into the room. Room

the noisy know silently. SpiiTaim and LouElla no longer fight,

even though LouElla's hand was already grasping SpiiTaim's hair and ready to grab it.

”Mana FayLinn?”

SpiiTaim and LouElla surged in shock. They're new

realising, FayLinn was not in the room with them. Enya Moss nodded

long, then out of the circle hall, followed by SpiiTaim and LouElla

who ran in panic. All the students in the hall dispersed, following them.

Mom VinGlow sat back at her desk, taking

whim, and enjoy it while smiling. The circle hall is empty.

Ooo
