I Am A Prodigy

Alice lay in bed as she watched the bag in her hand. She seemed to be in a daze, caressing the dent from the bullet with mixed feelings.

‘I’m really lucky.’ The bag helped her feel as though she was given a second chance to live.

“China is really mysterious,” Alice muttered as the corner of her lips curled into a foolish grin.

The queen and Alice’s relatives were there, watching her with a concerned gaze and occasionally tried to console her.

As for the nation, it had already entered high alert, searching high and low for the terrorists!

England was enraged. That was a blatant provocation!

“Princess, I’ve found it!” A servant came reporting right at that moment.

Alice’s eyes brightened up and asked immediately, “You managed to contact the designer?”

“Princess, we’ve contacted Vatti to ask for the designer, but they were unwilling to divulge the information, claiming it to be a trade secret.”

“Oh, is that so?” Alice’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

“However, Vatti sent us a video. It’s the origin of the bag’s material,” the servant replied.

“Origin of the material?”

A surprised smile appeared on Alice’s face. “Play it quick!”

The bag’s materials were extremely unique. Even with their experience, they had no clue on what it’s made of. Not only them, but the entire populace of England was curious as none of them had seen that material before.

“Yes, Princess.” The servant immediately started preparing.

“I think this material came from a type of animal’s skin. Based on the special qualities of the bag, if it was sourced from an animal, it would have to be an extremely terrifying one!” said someone in the room.

Those present were all members of royalty with keen eyes.

“I originally thought so too. However, an animal like that shouldn’t exist in our world. That’s why I think that it might be a composite material using advanced technology,” someone else claimed.

Each of them had a bag in hand. They were examining it while voicing their thoughts.

“Mother, can I touch it? I swear it’s only a little touch!” said a girl that looked very much like Alice. She looked at the bag with a yearnful look.

“What’s a kid like you going to do with a bag? I’ll warn you now. Don’t even think about taking this from me. It’s very dangerous,” her mother stated sternly and immediately held the bag protectively.

“Tch, you spent five million to buy this bag. What a wastrel!” the little girl accused.

“That’s because I’m rich. Go get one yourself if you’re so capable!”

…

The bag became a rare existence even amongst the royals. Carrying one out in public was something that made one highly regarded.

Right then, the servants were all done with their setup and started playing the video.

The chatter slowly subsided as everyone shifted their attention to the screen curiously.

The scene began. Fishes were swimming about wildly in the clear waters. It looked very chaotic as the currents swirled about. It was obviously underwater.

Such a special location further intrigued them, which caused them to watch with rapt attention. That was because the view was from a first-person perspective so could not see who was underwater.

As it went deeper, the fishes were also more agitated. Alice and the others could not help holding their breaths and grew anxious.

Right then, they felt something was amiss. That pool was…very deep. Moreover, it was too clear. Why were the fishes so agitated?

Finally, the camera came to a cave entrance. As it moved forward, the current grew more violent and turbulent!

Boom!

Just as the camera reached the cavern, a huge tail was flung towards it as the camera backed off hastily!

The next moment, the camera went forward once more. Once they saw the two gargantuan creatures on the surface, the entire room’s breathing became labored.

Nobody said anything as they were all shocked to their core, completely dumbfounded!

On the screen, they saw the brutal fight between Old Tortoise and the giant python. Finally, to their surprise, the camera’s owner approached on his own accord. Following that was the deadly chase with the giant python.

All that was just like a blockbuster movie. Everyone fell silent as though they were in a cinema.

When the screen faded to black, everything finally came to a stop!

“OH MY GOD!!!”

“What’s this? A movie?”

“It’s so stunning and horrific. Are those monsters from China?”

Everybody, Alice included, were unable to believe what they just saw. They were completely flabbergasted.

“What’s the meaning of this video from Vatti?” The queen was the first to ask.

The servants were in a daze from the footage. After hearing the queen’s question, they finally took a deep breath and replied, “T-t-they said that the bag is made from the giant python’s skin.”

“What?!” they collectively exclaimed. Although they had their own speculations, they still could not help feeling shocked when told the truth.

“Those two monsters are real? Moreover, the bag in my hand is made from that giant python’s skin?!”

One of the princesses exclaimed as she looked at the bag in her hand, feeling all sorts of mixed emotions. For a moment, she felt overwhelmed and was unable to think straight.

“No wonder there was such a unique material. It’s actually made from that monster’s skin!” blurted another one of the group.

“Gasp! That’s one of a kind existence. It’s definitely a rare species!”

“This won’t do. I need to buy quickly regardless of the price!”

Among the royals, some could not bear to buy one at the start and kept their cool. At that moment, they could no longer resist offering high prices to purchase the bag as the bag’s price would shoot up wildly once that information was made public!

Only

“No wonder it can save my life. Turns out he’s a hero, a great hero,” Alice muttered as she stared blankly between the screen and the bag in her hand.

Her teenage girl’s mindset kicked in and filled in the gaps. A heroic knight slew the evil dragon and made her a bag, inadvertently saving her in the process.

“I wonder what happened to him in the end? Since these bags are made, that means he must’ve killed the giant python, right?” Alice asked in a worried tone.

After her astonishment, Alice could not resist her urge to tell others about this heroic deed. This kind of bag should not be kept hidden. The glorious tale behind it must be shown to the world!

In fact, that was what she did. On her social media, she selected…share!

[I finally know what this bag is made of. No wonder it can save my life. Thank you, brave Chinese warrior. I truly hope to meet you and thank you in person!]

Due to Alice’s large number of followers, the moment it was shared, it was destined to go viral!
