Tinder Warlord

Chapter 26: AUCTION



"You girls don't mind if I join your conversations." With a blinking eyelash, which blinks when she is anxious, she looks at the three girls.

"Whoa! School Bella. What a rare guest!" Anika Abby tapped the seat space next to her.

"Come... Take a seat beside me." Anika Abby gestured to Jin Dae, the college belle.

Jin Dae took her seat next to Anika Abby. Just as she sat, the three girls' eyes moved straight to Ariel Sebastian, urging her to continue her tale.

Taking a deep breath, Ariel Sebastian asked, "Where was I?"

"Yeah, yeah, I was teleported to the famous Amazon citadel," Ariel Sebastian replied, glancing at the girls and straightening her collar from her school outfit.

She explained her nice abode. She described the caliber of the experienced fighters she saw. Moving on to the environment. She described the environment as a perfect holiday resort for tourists. Then the hunt, Ariel Sebastian, will not forget the blood-boiling hunt. Vividly narrating her solo hunt for a spirit Yali beast. She immediately captured her audience with her tale.

The girls' lunches were forgotten because Ariel Sebastian's adventure had captured the ears and the entire focus of her listeners. Ariel Sebastian got to the part about securing her first terrifying spirit soul—Yali Beast Mount. Anika Abby was over the moon. The adventure tale has captured both her body and soul. Hearing of the spirit souls. She couldn't control herself anymore.

"Can I see the spirit soul?" Anika Abby glued her entire self to the single right arm of Ariel Sebastian.

"Nope, are you trying to draw the audience to me?" Ariel Sebastian gave Anika Abby an angry stare.

Such a stare didn't move the eagerness of Anika Abby. Also, an encouraging gaze from Lisa Maya and Jin Dae follows suit. Anika Abby became proactive, as if injecting some fix. Nothing can be done. Ariel Sebastian has to give in to her demand. She was summoning the Yali beast mount.

'Shua'

A creature with the head of a lion, the tusks of an elephant, the body of a cat, and the tail of a serpent appeared in an intimidating manner. The cafeteria was undeniably silent.

'Trumpet...'

The cafeteria vibrates. Students and staff were fascinated by what they saw. Murmurs, whispers, and the pointing of fingers erupted in the café. Ariel Sebastian called back the spirit Yali beast to avoid any unforeseen difficulties.

A few seconds later,

The voices of students trying hard to overshadow their peers in an exciting conversation overtook the cafeteria by storm. Everyone wants their voices to be heard. Interesting discussions on spirit souls gain popularity.

To worsen the situation, Ariel Sebastian's lunch table was circled by diverse students. Some tried to purchase the spirit soul. Some tried to bully Ariel Sebastian into handing over the spirit soul. Of course, they each received punches from Anika Abby to reset their faulty brains.

Coiling around Ariel Sebastian, Anika Abby shyly asked, "Are you selling the spirit souls, babe?" Lisa Maya and Jin Dae's interest was also piqued. Jin Dae has wild thoughts about snatching the deal from Anika Abby if Ariel Sebastian entertains thoughts of selling. Lisa Maya instantly gave up because she knew she couldn't outbid these two financial behemoths.

Without thinking much, Ariel Sebastian nods her head. She was interested in offers she might get. Activating her business mentality. She planned to maximize her profits, even if they were her friends. Lisa Maya understands such looks. She foresees Anika Abby and Jin Dae getting cheated.

"Hmm! Although this mount holds a great deal of memory for me. Ha! It's my first spirit soul. I got it from my sweat and blood. I wouldn't mind parting with the spirit soul, but I got another one." Ariel Sebastian acted like a professional actor. Her act fooled everyone except Lisa Maya, who understood her very much.

By this time, Lisa Maya was sweating profusely. Her blood pressure was skyrocketing. She thought the loophole act of Ariel Sebastian would be seen through. Alas! Her worries were not warranted. Ariel Sebastian fooled everyone in the cafeteria.

Ariel Sebastian continued her act: "This is a very special exotic spirit soul. A spirit soul that holds a glorious memory of my first successful hunt but a pity I have to give in to the audience and part with my lovely relic"

Lisa Maya's sweating has now doubled. This is the first time she has seen a unique personality from Ariel Sebastian.

Ariel Sebastian continued with her perfectly acted speech, "Although, this Yali spirit soul attached great meaning to me. Good times don't last forever. There is no party without an end. I will hold a short auction for some spirit souls I gained at Eden. Together with the Yali beast spirit soul. The highest bidder wins."

"Sweetie, can't you just sell it to me for old-time sake?" Anika Abby acted pitifully.

"Hell no... Pretty, this is an auction. Let your pocket do the talking." Jin Dae chirps into the conversation.

"Like really?! Is she going to auction an exotic mount now?"

"I would have placed a bid for this intimidating mount. Uh! Not sure if I can outbid spirit soul mount from these ferocious rich kids."

"Keep dreaming. Jin Dae, the college Belle, is interested, and Anika Abby is also interested. Mitrovik Alexander, the rich playboy, is captivated."

"Let's just bid. We might get lucky."

"Lucky, my ass?"

...the voice of Ariel Sebastian cut the audience in the cafeteria off.

"The starting bid is 12, 000 exotic Eden crystals. A raise of 1, 000 exotic Eden crystals"—the"calm and alluring voice rang in the cafeteria.

Somewhere on a safe edge...

The principal and some tutors were watching an interesting show. Miss April Angela was among the gathered tutors.

"This lad is good," the principal commented.

"Was she not the girl who read the runes earlier?" an old tutor commented.

"Yea! No wonder she looks familiar." A sexy female tutor joined the conversation.

Just as the principal and tutors were having some conversations. The noise of the students in the cafeteria skyrocketed. The cafeteria auction was fierce. Attracting other students from different sections of the college. The college scourge was also attracted.

"Yo' mate, what is all thou noise?" the king bully asked his henchmen.

"Dunno, it's coming from the cafeteria," the henchmen replied.

"Let gotcha see what is popping, y'all." ordering his boys to bounce along.

Walking into the cafeteria. The King Bully met a lot of crowds. Discussions were buzzing now and then.

"Yo! Champ, get outta here." Kicking the unaware students. The student turned angrily to the idiot who kicked him. He saw the face of the college bully. He forcefully swallowed his complaint.

"Huh! Gotcha problem with my fine kick," asked the henchmen.

"No-no, how can I?" the student responded.

"Ya, I thought so. Now, get outta here."

The student removed himself at an alarming speed. The other students who watched the brief highlights vanished from the known bully's way.

Swaggering like a king who owns the place. The king bully and his henchmen walked to the front of the major action. Where the auction was ongoing.

"That is a fine mount. Suit my style," the king bully commented.

Hearing his comments, a lot of students turned to their voices. Seeing the face of the voice, many students created a large getaway from the path of the bullies. Some students were gloating at Ariel Sebastian's misfortune. Some were sad because they would lose a potentially powerful spirit soul.

Ariel Sebastian, Lisa Maya, and Anika Abby stood their ground. Surprisingly, Jin Dae and Mitrovik Alexander also stood their ground.

"Yo' pretty, that spirit soul mount fits my style. So, it is now mine. Hands off my merchandise," King Bully menacingly ordered.

"This scrounge won't stop giving me hefty workloads," the principal lamented badly after seeing the college headaches.

"Hey! Paper tiger... Why are you obstructing my auction?" Hands on her tiny waist. Ariel Sebastian angrily asked the King bully. She was irritated that a menace was blocking her path of fortune.

"Huh, you have a grievance with my order." Slamming and destroying the cafeteria table. The weak students shivered and hid away.

The principal and tutors grind their teeth to dust. Almost losing their reasons.

"Yip... I have a lot of grievances. I can't understand why you skip paying a visit to the psychiatrist specialist. Don't you know you are mentally sick? BURSTING INTO MY AUCTION AND RUINING MY WOULD-BE FORTUNE. You deserved beatings." Ariel Sebastian lost her bearings.

"This lad... Will I say she is a daredevil, or can she back up her outburst?" The surprised principal casually asked while preparing the tutors to intervene.

"She can back up her words," Miss April Angela replied to the principal.
