A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Chapter 44: Arrival

The young women who were spoken to nodded their heads.

Then they went to stand at six different points to form a hexagonal shape.

As soon as they did so and released their power, a large circle suddenly appeared high in the air in this place. And the instant that this circle appeared, it emitted a dazzling multicolored light that dyed the entire place in it color. while the space that the prismatic light directly shone upon suddenly began to warp and distort.

Then a few seconds later, a massive horizontal portal abruptly appeared below the circle of blinding multicolored light and began to revolve at an extreme speed.

"Alright. Helena, you can go in now" Jessica said while Helena nodded with an inhale.

Then she went through a space between two of the six young women that stood at six different points to form an hexagon.

As soon as she appeared under the furiously revolving horizontal portal, an attractive force suddenly acted on her body and she was pulled up into the portal.

Then her body began to move through an enormous spatial channel that was filled with seemingly all the colors of light.

Not long, she dropped out of another horizontal portal at a new region.

Then when she stood to her feet, some people who were also young women came forward to meet her and said 'Welcome, Chosen One'.

Helena who had already stood to her feet also bowed.

"No! Don't do that. We are the ones who should bow to you. Not you to us" A fairy-like voice of one of the young women that had encircled Helena suddenly rang out.

"Huh?!" Helena became quite shocked.

Then she nodded her head.

"Please come with me. Our Master has been expecting you" Another of the young women said while Helena nodded and began to follow behind the young woman that spoke.

Not long, Helena appeared at the office of the Master overseeing the activities of the camp.

Knock!

A knock was made on the door while a voice rang out from within.

"Come in!"

"Alright. You can go in now" The young woman spoke and then turned around to go back to where she came from.

Helena braced up herself and then went in.

As soon as she appeared in the office, she immediately bowed.

"Welcome, Chosen One." A middle-aged woman that looked at least fifty said with a smile.

Then she continued "You can have your seat"

Helena nodded and sat on a chair before her.

But before the middle-aged woman could speak, Helena quickly said "Can you please stop calling me the Chosen One. I have a name. And it's Helena"

Haha!

The woman laughed.

"Well, I won't stop calling you that." The woman said and grinned.

"Why?" Helena asked.

"Because it would always remind you of who you are. Besides, I love the name. Also, your name isn't Helena. It's Alexa. It was that mortal foster mother of yours that gave you that name Helena. Not your real parent." The woman said.

"Hmm. Well, I am used to the name now." Helena said.

"I know. And we don't plan on changing it. You can be called either Alexa or Helena. It's none of our concern, we are only concerned with that name, 'Chosen One'." The woman said with a smile while Helena nodded her head.

"So, now that you are here, I would give you today to relax. But tomorrow, you would be introduced to a large assembly of people from different races that have come here to study battle magic and other kinds of magic under us. Also, you would begin your magic spell weaving and combat training tomorrow." The woman said.

"Okay" Helena said.

Then with a gesture of her hand, a uniform that comprised of a blouse, skirt, leggings and shoes suddenly appeared on one of the hands of the middle-aged woman which she then gave to Helena.

"That's your uniform." She said.

"Alright. Thank you ma'am" Helena said while the woman nodded her head.

Then she pulled out a drawer from the large table in front of her and brought out a flat wooden card which she gave to Helena.

When Helena was given the card, she looked at it surface and could see the number '99' inscribed on it.

"Um... What do I do with this?" She proceeded to ask when she couldn't understand what the number on the card meant.

"That's the number that would lead you to the room where you would stay till your training at the fundamental magic level is complete." The woman said.

Then she continued "When you ascend up the different levels and ranks here, you would be given a new room"

"Okay" Helena replied.

"Yea. But let me tell you something you don't know. This place is highly competitive. It's a place where others want what another person has, regardless of that person's status or identity. Now, the room I gave you is one that seems like the high heavens; like a divine place that only goddesses or queen fairies would dwell in. And this is simply because you are the Chosen One. So I am fully obliged to treat you that way, like are a true goddess or queen fairy. But if you don't have enough strength to strongly grasp what's yours, you might lose it to them." The woman said.

Helena's eyes glittered with great surprise.

Then she proceeded to ask a question that had flashed in her mind.

"I just want to ask. What if I am eventually kicked out my heavenly room by someone who is far stronger than me, then I am left with that person's room to reside in, would another person also come for that room and try kick me out of it so that they could possess it?" Helena asked.

"Yes. That's the system here." The middle-aged woman replied with a smile.

"Ugh!" Helena uttered in a complaining tone.

"But I am new here. Wouldn't they at least give me some time to grow? I can't fight with them. They would beat me up." She said.

Haha!

The woman laughed.

"Nope! They won't give you time to grow. So, develop yourself quickly or end up with a room that is worst than a shithole." She said and grinned.

Then she continued with a palpable excitement in her tone "And since you are the Chosen One, they would try to crush you and make sure you can't look them in the eyes when they spit at you. Be ready for hell in this place"
