Someday the spirit of cruelty would turn on Phildios, but the elf boy was so dense that he probably wouldn't recognize why his fortune had turned bitter and sour.  This thought caused Mue to smile.

</div>.<br/>Mue felt very confident that she would be chosen.  Master Asterrio generally did not give her much praise in the classroom, because of the way the so-called-nobles might react, but congratulated her on her lessons when everyone else had left and she was helping him clean the school area of his home.  Maybe it was fear on his part and he was being sensible, but Mue wished that just once Master Asterrio would tell the nobles to fuck off.  It was finally happening!  She was going to leave Ashburn behind her and start a new chapter in her life!<br/><br/>The visitors, Master Ianice and Master Avernoch, produced what looked to be a magical tool and announced their intention to evaluate anyone that was interested in going to White Castle on a scholarship.  In minutes, everyone would see Mue's talent and magical potential!   The Masters were looking at the class and Mue excitedly raised a hand, hoping that they would test her right away.  Okay, there were other students nearer, but enthusiasm had to count for something, didn't it?<br/><br/>And then Mue was crushed as she heard Master Asterrio say to her, "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(32, 178, 170)">Moeilikheid, put your hand down.</span>"<br/><br/>Mue's mouth momentarily fell open in pained astonishment.  '<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)"> No!</span></i>' her mind screamed inside her head.  '<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)"><i>This couldn't be happening!  It wasn't fair!  She had to leave Ashburn! </i></span>'  But Mue lowered her hand and let her head hang down to stare at the table in front of her.
