“No problem. I don’t mind. You must have your reasons. I do not like her or know her a bit, she is nothing like the mother I imagined back in the orphanage or the one’s that the children in my middle school had.

I chose to follow her because she promised to make me strong and independent. And also because I wanted to know how it feels to be wanted, to have someone waiting for you, to have responsibilities, to meet someone’s expectations and to have someone to speak to before sleeping and after waking up. All of this feels too weird for me, I guess I am too used to being lonely” Cortney’s words said ‘Go ahead kill I am used to being alone’. But her eyes hide a deep sorrow which complained ‘it sucks to be lonely’.

“Good! How about we get that hotdog I am famished after a duel.” I had my reasons but it felt wrong to tell an ex-orphan that I will kill her mother to her face. Therefore I tried to make up for my insensitive words by talking Cortney up on her offer.

“No, I have to go, my mom’s waiting.” Said Cortney and mumbled,” I will never get used to this.”

Cortney rejected me though it was her idea in the first place, I guess she has finally realised that I and she can never be on the same side or team.

Corey Bright Vs Tammy Lou

Corey Bright, since her birth, she has been advertised to the general public of the Sky Blossom City as the brand and trademark of the Bright family. Not to mention her extravagant and imprudent way of lifestyle, which bred many rumours and her current fame as the prodigal 3rd generation of the Bright family. It is said she mobilized the entire Bright household to find a pair of heels matching her evening party wear. Such rumours were dime a dozen.

Corey Bright was a small Celebrity figure to the general populace of Sky Blossom City in her own way, many dames wanted to be her and many heroes wanted to tame her. But she was so wild and merciless that anybody ever dared to cross her or approach her with ulterior motives were made an example of.

A week ago Corey would somehow or the other would manage to become the morning coffee news of every household, be it her buying expensive stuff or destroying expensive city property or her punishing the mortals that dared to ruin her mood. All in all, she had a small fan following in the city, many households even treated her as a member of their family and goddess of the Sky Blossom City. This was the magic of Bright family’s expensive PR.

Nobody would believe that such a personality joined the guild association mall as a sales staff for a day and then quit to work in a no-name startup card boutique as a helper for a week. Corey had fans which meant she has people who hate her too, therefore being a celebrity has not been easy for Corey and her day-to-day life. But thankfully she had an uncle who held too much power for which he was clearly not qualified and did not mind misusing it for his and his family’s agenda and occasionally to keep his pompous niece out of trouble. So yes, Corry never knew the consequences of her actions with people out there cleaning up her mess.

So 5 set Arena 7 attracted a lot of spectators who wanted to see Corey in person and check if she was as talented as the Bright family has boasted about her.

“Hello Princess, how’s life treating you? Other than the little singing birds and the guardian fairies.” Tammy seemed to hold an opinion about Corey.

“Wait, Did I wrong you in some way?” Corey asked with an innocent expression.

“Faq, you do not even remember me… but you did not hesitate to destroy my life with a snap. You are the reason despite my talent I had to become an adventurer after 16 years of age instead of attending school and special classes like everyone else.” Yelled Tammy and Continued, ” Have you ever gutted a goblin or skinned a Thorn goat, I did. Have you ever survived only on goblin meat, I did….” Tammy was not finished recounting her hard past but was interpreted by Corey,

“Wait, I remember who you are, you are the fat girl who dared to shake my hands with her oily hands. You have lost weight, no wonder I could not recognise you. For your information, It’s bad manners to shake hands with others with dirty hands especially if they happened to have fat sausage fingers like yours.” Having remembered who Tammy was Corey explained why she did what she did back then and firmly stood by her actions.

“But that did not warrant permanent suspension and blacklisted from all the other high schools in the city. Because of that, I was left with no choice but to join an adventure guild. You ruined my life for a simple oily handshake.” Tammy yelled grudgingly.

“Hey quit yelling and listen, If it were a few days ago I would have bent over backwards for your forgiveness but unfortunately you missed the timing again. You are stuck with me, and I have these to say to you,

1. Yes I scolded you for your oily handshake but I never asked anyone to take away your scholarship or suspend you or blacklist you.

2. If our city schools had black listed you then why did you not try entering the other city school instead of joining a third-grade adventure guild.

I sympathise with your unfortunate experience but I am not the one to blame for it. Neither is anyone in my family as they would not stoop so low to ruin somebody’s life for something so insignificant. That’s all I have to say about the past. As for the present, despite all the odds the city had thrown at you, you stood tall and have proven to everyone witnessing this duel that… You, Tammy Lou, are a survivor and would not stop climbing until you reach the top. Please let me have the honour to duel with you…” Corey respected Tammy from the bottom of her heart for surviving and standing in front of her bully on equal footing.

Corey understood no matter what she said nothing would change what Tammy has been through therefore she did not make any false promises. Although she did not promise anything she decided to get to the bottom of this matter as there must be some insignificant people behind Tammy’s tragedy. They did it either to get on Corey’s good side or used her as the scapegoat for their mischief. Either way, they tried to ruin a life using her name.
