Academy of Death His Confession
Marin's quick steps brought her away in a short while. Her body had disappeared when I got downstairs. I felt regretful for having no chance to explain the truth that nothing happened between me and Lanzo. Her cry indicated that she misunderstood the situation. I kept wandering around the corridor to seek for her and ignored Lanzo's yell of my name. The parking lot could be her destination as the dusk almost came. Quickening my paces, I didn't let Lanzo's shout out intimidated me. Marin was stepping onto the bus when I set my feet on the bus stop. "Marin… " I huffed, sprinting toward the bus. Unfortunately, the door was swiping closed and the bus was taking its leave. No one in the bus heeded me, not even the driver. They should have noticed my existence through the side mirror. But, the bus continued. All the seats might have been occupied. Feeling fatigue all over my legs, I lounged on the bench with the concern of Marin's misunderstanding on me. I had to meet Marin to explain ev
Academy of Death Vanish
Peering through the glass window, the view of Marin lying on the bed grabbed my sights. Her teary eyes gazed at the boy facing down at her; she implored that boy to stay."Please, don't go. I can't live without you." Her husky voice of pleading Lanzo's compassion pierced my ears. I couldn't even budge my mouth which restrained the sadness inside me. I swallowed the lump of guilt into my stomach."Marin, you need to rest. Besides, the doctor has alerted me to leave." Lanzo turned around but his step reached nowhere. Snatching Lanzo's wrist, Marin prevented him from moving. "If you dare to take one step away, you won't see me for the rest of your life." Marin's caution choked me with dismay. I abruptly squatted in my place, blocking them from noticing my presence. I didn't notice what was going on between them yet I could still hear their debate."Marin...please...don't do this!""I love you." Marin's hopeless words didn't seem to affect him. He stood his ground. "I don't deserve yo
Academy of Death A Plan
Gawking at my face in the mirror of the bathroom, the sorrow emitted out of my eyes. Marin's disappearance hauled me back to the bitter memory of losing Yura. Experiencing this nightmare a second time nudged me into the sea of unbearable woes. This burden weighs me that I sank in my place, unable to endure the grief invading my heart and soul. My arms plopped down, I kneeled with the tears pouring out my cheek. "Marin, where are you? Did someone kidnap you?" Those questions echoed in my head again and again. "Dylanesa, are you in?" The knocks on the door removed Marin out of my thoughts. From his frightened voice, it was Lanzo who was outside. How could he storm inside the women's restroom?I dabbed my cry and stood on my feet. I had to see him and thank him for saving me from plummeting down the stairs. When I frantically ran in search of Marin, the accident nearly transmitted me to the hospital if only Lanzo didn't snag my body at the right time. I switched the door handle and
Academy of Death The Mysterious Academic
The plan changed, but the mission remained. Hunting Anyhony might open the door to the clue of where Marin was. The darkness dimmed my shadow, slinking into the building. I kept my distance from Anthony who had taken the right turning to the stairs. His act of evading the lift seemed weird. Urgency might steer him to climb up the stairs. His shoes which drummed the tiles created noises, yet it wouldn't attract anyone's vigilance as no one lingered inside this building, except me. Minding my steps, I held my breath to prevent him realizing my coming. Walking in slow motion, I counted the floor. My hands resisted the sound that barely leaped out of my lips when Anthony scanned around before his hand unlocked the door of the laboratory on the fourth floor. What was he going to do in the lab at night?Like a detective, I spied on him. Unfortunately, the door restricted me from getting any access to the inside. Feeling dissatisfied, I grumbled while spinning around. I never had a chance t
Academy of Death Found
As his steps got closer to us, Lanzo's reddened face in rage appeared into view. Driven by my apprehension that Rein would be his next target of punch after Ron, I used my body as a shield to enlarge the space between them. Swallowing the saliva of my dread, I forced words out of my mouth to reconcile them."Lanzo… I beg your apology. I promise I'll go back to the infirmary. " I was glad that Rein left; he had another class to attend."That is what you should do, indeed." The red on his cheek perished. He cooled down. "By the way, I am here also to announce that Marin has been found safe and sound.""Are you serious?" I hoped my hearing did not go wrong. "I mean it." His assertion of Marin's safety filled my lungs with the oxygen of joy and relief that I could breathe without burden. "She is in the dorm now. So she locked herself in her bedroom and begged the maid not to tell anyone where she was.""Thank God," I whispered in relief. I intended to rest in the dorm but my vulnerable
Academy of Death Broken
I shrieked in panic; my body trembled in great fear. The sweat drenched me. Glancing up, I found Lanzo's hand clasped on mine. "Please, h-help me…" my hoarse voice raced with the breeze."Hold on… I got you." Lanzo's soothing words calmed me. He pulled my body up with all his might. My small body weighed less in his hand. In a minute, I'd already ebbed on the floor. A glass of water shifted to my palm but my shaking hand spilled some of it out. Lanzo patiently held my hand so that I could sip the water slowly. I stared at Lanzo with a locked mouth; yet my eyes were ample to express my gratefulness.. No matter how bad my prejudice toward him was, he was always there for me."Marin…." Looking around, I realized that Marin wasn't detected anywhere. "Where is she?" Lanzo did the same thing, trying to find Marin. "She may have got back to her room? How could you slip down from the balcony?" his forehead furrowed. That startled me. What should I say? It was impossible to tell him the t
Academy of Death Drop-out
Lanzo descended the stairs, bringing his steps toward me who just stood dumbfounded. All my body parts betrayed me. My dumb tongue couldn't even produce a single word. My rooted feet didn't allow me to move. My eyes stuck on Lanzo whose movement became closer and closer to me. His repeated question broke the quietness."Have you heard everything?" My slight nod confirmed my answer. No comments existed in his mouth; he abandoned me, instead. Getting my senses back, I ran upstairs to check Marin. That girl still crouched in her place; her pale face gushed among her long hair that shadowed both of her cheeks. She was in his worst state ever; the cheerful girl now had turned to someone else I didn't recognise. She was totally different with her pathetic appearance. It knifed my heart to pieces to see her like a living corpse. "M-marin…," I said her name in quiver. She froze as a statue. Her eyes didn't even blink as if my call didn't reach her. Walking slowly toward her, I wiped my tea
Academy of Death The Nomination of the Student Exchange
The mutters bustle the auditorium full of intelligentsia. The vast number of the intelligentsia narrowed the wide hall even though the seats were well-organized. Luckily, the air conditioning which cooled the innards of the room generated comfort for all of us. The shriek sound from the door that swung open pulled our eyes to focus on the tall brown skinned figure who just emerged at the doorstep. The mumbles perished as soon as that stern look burst out. The head of the academy elegantly ambled toward the couch on the stageThe same MC that ran the event in the last assembly took her place on the stage. The academic sat back to their seats after showing their respect in a bow to their leader, the head of the academy. We set our gaze on the stage a hundred percent, waiting for the announcement. The quietude was over along with the MC's firm voice that echoed across the room. Finishing her foreword, she welcomed the head of the academy to deliver his speech. That man came forward
