Chapter 318
As Celeste continued to trip over her own feet, Shao seemed to be gaining speed, moving more and more flexibly as she became used to the chores. She wasn’t just incredibly fast, but it turned out she was a genius too, quickly able to learn on the fly and then perfect herself. Meanwhile, Celeste tripped on a banana peel that was on the stage for some reason.
All the men in the crowd seemed to cheer every time she fell. This was because every time she fell, it was in increasingly embarrassing situations, flashing her underwear to everyone watching. As her Master, for the first time, I was starting to feel embarrassment. Is this what parents felt like when their kid played the tree in the high school play? I mean, they did the best they could, but can you really be proud of that?
“Celeste!” I called out, feeling like I was at my wit’s end.
Celeste stopped as she peeled what appeared to be spaghetti off of her chest and looked in my direction with a distraught expression on her face. Why did all of the stuff on her stage appear to be food-related? Never mind that, I needed to encourage Celeste. She actually could have won this event, but she wasn’t thinking. Had I not been caught up on the Japanese girl, I might have been able to act smarter.
“Master?” She asked helplessly, nearly in tears.
“You don’t have to use your feet!” I said, “You got wings, use them!”
Naturally, had she been flying around the room, she could have cleaned the place with ease. She was only using her feet because everything was on the floor. However, she was a fairy and a sylph. She had mastery over wind and two beautiful wings that could keep her magically afloat. There was nothing in the rulebook that said she had to walk. In short, had she just used her wings in the beginning, this would have never become a problem in the first place.
Celeste’s expression brightened so much that I wanted to facepalm. She really had completely forgotten that she had wings! She looked back as they suddenly spread out from her back. The crowd made ohing and ahing sounds. I breathed easier, but even if she moved like a monster, she’d still be hard-pressed to have the entire room cleaned before her competition finished. I nodded encouragingly towards her.
“Don’t forget to use your wind!” I reminded her.
She nodded happily, and then suddenly crouched down. She leaped up into the air her wings spreading out. Suddenly, the previously clumsy girl looked almost like an angel. The sun was reflecting off her wings, causing them to truly sparkle. Then she came down just as hard. As her wings flapped down, a sudden tempest of wind exploded out with her as the center. The wind blew out in every direction with a force that equaled that of a tornado.
People in the audience let out cries of shock as everything on her side of the stage was pushed away with enormous strength. Even I let out a cry as I leaped to the side, barely avoiding a desk that flew passed where I had been standing. When the wind finally cleared, there wasn’t a single thing left on the stage.
“I win!” Celeste cried out happily, completely oblivious to the ugly looks being given to her by dozens of innocent bystanders who had been hit by flying objects.
“Disqualified!” Prince Aberis shouted, putting out his hands like an umpire, his hair a complete mess.
“Oh… poo.” Celeste pouted indignantly.
