2 I NOMINATE MYSELF (1/2)

It is already dusk. Tala started to walk out from the square and search for her residence.Her residence is not that vast around hundred square meter. Every one of the 5th class is titled to own this kind of residence, and Tala is one of them. Tala swiftly looked at her place reminiscent her past memory. She walk in and slowly touching the wall as her eyes reddend.

”Tala, are you in there?” before her eyes shed tears, someone knock to the gate. She hurriedly walk out and saw a young man standing straight with chin's up. He looks like an arrogant fellow but Tala knew him well.

”Adasa, what are you doing here?” Tala ask with joyous voice. The joy in her face is transluscent as day. Adasa was bewildered upon seeing the happiness in Tala's face.

”Why are you so happy? Did you miss me that much?” he chuckled sarcastically.

”Miss you?” Upon realizing her unusual action, Tala immediately said with an innocent smile, ”Of course, I miss you a lot.”

Adasa was startled upon hearing her words. He know Tala's temper towards him but why was she acting like this.

”Tala, I came here to give you this invitation. We will have a meeting before tomorrow's event.” Adasa change the topic immediately.

”Oh, thank you. Sorry for troubling you.” Tala said sincerely.

”I will take my leave then.” Adasa wave his hand and bid farewell.

”Adasa is a good man but he hated me to the depth of his bone because I am his greatest rival for aiming to be the top one among the class. Although, I want to lend him my hand, I need the golden medallion to work for my plan. What should I do?” Tala scratch her neck.

'Feather's courtyard: 6:00 pm.' Tala read the letter.

'I have 10 minutes before the meeting. I should think of a way to descend to human world to find them.' Tala thought with determination.

With her knowledge from her past, Tala sit down in her room and begin to think of a plan.

'The golden medallion will grant me a request. Obtaining it is just as simple as walking in the park but what will be my request? There are two options: first, to alter the distribution of the rewards because what the other will receive is not totally within their skills. It is just a waste of time. They need to grow stronger as soon as possible. Second, is to request for my descend to the human world.' Of course, Tala know that the second one is to be prioritize but the first one is needed to be accomplished too before she descended. 'What to do?'

Ten minutes had past but she was unable to think of a solution.

'Forget it. I will wait for the opportunity to strike for the time being.'

Tala started to head to the meeting place. The Feather's courtyard is vast around a thousand square meter. The center was a gazebo. Tala saw the other nine competitor sitting.

”Oh, Tala your just in time. I thought that you will be late again.” Sadam curled up his lips.

Tala didn't bother him, instead she humbly sit next to Eya and gave him a cute smile. Sadam is a honest man. He hates Tala because he support Adasa, his friend. In the war againstdemons, Tala remembered this two young man fought side by side. She admired their friendship. Worthy of being praised. 'I must help them obtain a greater high.'

”Today's meeting is about the results of the events for tomorrow. We all know that after this event, one of us will be send to the human world to spectate for 5 years. I gathered all of you to voice out those who want to nominate someone.” Adasa stand up as his voice sounded.

'How did I forgot this event? Oh, stupid self.' Tala curled up her lips with distressed.

Everyone in this gazebo doesn't want to be sent to the human world because their heavenly energy will be stagnant or worst be absord by the earthly energy and became an ordinary human. 5 years maybe short but it is enough to make their heavenly energy to be absorbed if not to be cautious. Instead of spending their energy in human world, they will highly choose to stay to further strengthen their energy. That's why, in every competition, held a nomination or they thought so. But in Tala's mind, this is a solution to her problem.
