The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 89: Illusion



Annika[notes] looked left and right in distress. Why couldn’t everyone just get along?

Xi moved to stand next to Feng Wu. It was obvious who she supported.

Feng Wu tilted her head, the confusion clear in her eyes. “Why is it shameful to write a letter to Senior Ming Xi?” She had witnessed another girl doing the same thing. Ink told her lots of others girls did it too. She didn’t understand why Jasmine was so vehement against her doing it.

“You already have a baby and you still want to write a love letter to Senior Ming Xi? How annoying can you be? Do you have no shame?” Jasmine didn’t bother hiding the disdain in her eyes as she put her teacup down.

“I can’t write a love letter if I have a baby? Why? My baby is adorable?” Feng Wu didn’t understand. The reason she wrote the letter was because she wanted him to be the father of her baby. Both Aunties Tian Yue and Lian Yi said her baby needed a father. Senior Ming Xi was good. He reminded her of her master, and her master was a very good person.

“You - you shameless loose woman!” Jasmine couldn’t figure out if Feng Wu was sincerely as foolish as she appeared or if she was pretending. “You have no shame! Everyone knows it!” Not only did Feng Wu feel no shame over the whole affair, she also manged to pull off the innocent confused look perfectly. These commoners! They would do anything to climb up.

“Talking about Xiao Wu the way you are, aren’t you the shameless one?” Jier butted in after shoving the door to their dorm open.

“Jier, I know you and Feng Wu have a good relationship. Maybe you know something we don’t?” Jasmine gave a purposefully ambiguous smile after she said this. “Also this has nothing to do with you. This is a private matter between us roommates.” Jasmine was careful with Jier since he was their class representative. She was certain she would lose in an actual fight with him. She wasn’t sure how far she could push things with him in the picture, but this was her dorm room, not his.

“A private matter? You all think you have the right to decide who Xiao Wu can and can’t write to? You sure hold yourselves in high regard. I’ve never met such ridiculous women in my entire life.”

Jier’s eyes were cold. In direct contrast to this the room was getting hotter and hotter. It felt like it would set aflame any moment.

It was a familiar feeling for Feng Wu. The air was oppressive in the same way it had been when he helped her with Alan Duo on the ship.

The air was so uncomfortable Jasmine retreated a few steps in distress. “What do you think you’re going to do? Don’t forget you’re not allowed to fight inside the academy. You’ll be expelled if you do!”

“Expulsion? You think too highly of yourself. I wonder why. Is it because you’re some noble young miss?” Jier snickered. A red light glowed for a moment in his hand before quickly turning into red cherry blossoms. Jier sent the blossoms directly at Jasmine.

Jasmine felt her location change the moment the blossoms approached. She was no longer in the living room, instead she was standing a forest of cherry blossom trees. Their lovely fragrance filled the air.

She was in the center of the forest and the trees were revolving around her. The unceasing rotation made her dizzy. She felt like she was spinning in circles.

“What is this?! How can I be here?! Is this an illusion technique?!” Jasmine was a magician so she recognized what was happening. She knew there were techniques for creating illusions like the one she was in.

It was a high-level illusion technique that she couldn’t break through on her own. Fortunately it wasn’t an attack illusion, but merely an illusion for binding someone in space. Her happiness didn’t last long before it turned into panic.

The petals that fell gathered and began to flutter around her. Each and everyone one of them turned into a tiny flame. They charged at her setting her clothes on fire. Her hair, her hands and the rest of her body were also attacked. She screamed in fear even though there was no one to help her.

Fortunately she realized she was a water magician.

She hurriedly chanted a water spell. Soon the droplets that formed on her hand merged into a sphere of water. At her age she could only form a small sphere. She pushed the water spheres into the flames, hoping the water would extinguish the them.

Her hopes were useless though. The flames continued and her clothes burned even faster. She forgot it was an illusion and went crazy from the pain. Being burned alive is unimaginable for most people.

The fire consumed her burning ever bigger and hotter. She fell to the ground; the only thing in her mind was to extinguish the fire so the pain would go away.

The flame shrouding her body burned away her skin. The tantalizing sweet aroma of cooked meat wafted around her until eventually only her bones remained.

“Oh my god! Who is that shameless person walking around in public?!”

“She’s crazy!”

“Did she go crazy from too much magic research?”

“No. She looks like a first-year. Those guys aren’t allowed to do independent research.”

“The freshman class this year is something else. First there was that one that publicly confessed to Senior Ming Xi in the cafeteria, now here’s this one practically naked in public. I don’t understand what they’re thinking.”

“What is there to be confused about? She’s obviously trying to get the attention of some guy.”

“Wow. I thought I was unrestrained when it comes to things like these. Just goes to show there’s always someone more bold. Seriously to dress like that in public… wow, just wow.”

The voices filtered through Jasmine’s consciousness as she slowly came to her senses. They were full of disdain and derision. What was happening? Wasn’t she in her dorm about to be set on fire?
