I was unsure how to feel.While I sat on my butt, quaking in my boots, two women had stood up to help me.Even as they were terrified, they didn’t back down and instead, dared to push forward.Once again, I had to wonder if it was right to consider me a hero in the face of such people.But then again, this wasn’t the time to soliloquize.I would do that later.Right now, I can’t let the girls have all the fun, right?Just then, the Headmaster rose to his feet and glared at Leah.Standing upright, he was clearly a foot taller than her, causing Leah to strain her neck to meet his eyes.She took a step back but no more than that.His aura was indeed terrifying but regardless… she stood her ground.“Hoh, little girl, how about repeating what you said again?” The Headmaster remarked casually, his voice carrying an underlying hint of danger.“i… I said you can’t harm us.” Leah muttered.“I see.” The Headmaster turned to Isabella, causing her to stiffen. “And why can’t I harm you lot?”“Be…b
“Before I continue, I’m sure you can understand why your guardians are not here, Veronica, Reginald and Lincoln.” The Headmaster said as he glanced at them.Veronica was the first reply. “Because our families doesn’t have access to the serums.”“Indeed. Which means that calling them here would be a waste of my time, don’t you agree.” The Headmaster inquired.“Mn, it would be a waste of time.” Reginald agreed even though it sounded like he was offended.“Which means you would be taking the serums recommended by me. Of course, you don’t have to worry. As model cadets, you are worthy of the best serums.”“Thank you, Headmaster.” The trio bowed their head before taking a step back.Thinking back to what was just said, wouldn’t that mean that Leila was called because we have access to a serum?Wait, but how?I immediately turned to Leila for answers.Our eyes met and she seemed to understand what I wanted.“Are we to take our wards with us?” Just then, Isabella’s nana spoke up.Despite the
I may be reckless and stupid, but I definitely need to stand by her.“Dad always said that unlike the Great family heads that managed to barely ingest the powers of S-grade Otherworldly, he was lucky enough to go even further and got the powers of a Godspawn.”I couldn’t help but gasp s my eyes flickered at the unexpected fact.In the ranking of Otherworldly, Grade E was the lowest and Godspawn was the highest.Just as it’s name indicated, Godspawn are monsters capable of rivaling the Family heads.Their powers were akin to disasters, capable of destroying everything before them.That’s just how terrifying a Godspawn is.Yet, Dad actually managed to get a Godspawn body part to use in making a serum?Absolutely crazy, I tell you.“The Timeless One. That’s what he called the Godspawn.” Leila muttered before adding. “Just saying it’s title gives me goosebumps.”Indeed it did.I gulped loudly as I stepped forward and say across from her.“Do you really want to do this?” Leila asked.Thoug
Barely suppressing the urge to throw up, I ended up swallowing the whole thing before finally letting out a relieved sigh.That’s step one…. Ah!!!I dropped out of the chair as a terrifying headache came upon me.I barely suppressed the urge to scream even louder as it felt like my body was being reconstructed from the inside out.I could barely make out anything with my eyes, but with my peripheral vision I could just about see Leila watching me while seated, not bothering to come to my aid, a sad look in her eyes.Was this a side effect of downing the serum?I couldn’t even ask as the pain was experiencing was too much for me to handle.At a certain point, it felt like I was leaving my body behind, making me terrified since I thought I was dead.But the feeling soon ended and with it a terrifying image as I watched my body develop holes of all sorts from which works dug in and out of my body.My fingers grew hands and my ears continued ringing.Unable to handle it any longer, I dire
Unfortunately I couldn’t do anything about it and had to keep to my side of the bargain.That was how I came here, to the Academy of the Gifted to receive training to become an Explorer.I didn’t think I’d see his face any time soon but as he stood before me again, the urge to hit him welled up within me.Of course, no matter my grievances, no matter how much I wanted to hurt him, I couldn’t.All because he still had my mother and her life was his to decide what happens to it.As we were led out of the hall, I could only stare at his broad back.A normal daughter would stare in awe at the wide back of her father, but I could only stare in disgust.He was a bastard that I could never feel anything good for.I hate him… I hate him!Soon enough, after almost an hour of walking, we made it to the special room prepared for us and I stepped in followed by Hamilton Blake.Calling him father was a luxury he could enjoy from his other bastard children but never from me.I’d never acknowledge s
“I hate you.”“As you should.”“I will kill you.”“As was intended.”“And I won’t ever forgive you for this.”“Who cares about that?”With no other choice, I reached out and pulled out the knife from the wall.Despite how easily it entered, it wasn’t loose in the slightest.It was stuck, almost like it had been embedded by a strong man.Such was the strength of the casual throw of a Demigod.If it were a human, they would already be dead with the knife piercing completely through their body and escaping from the opposite direction.It was obvious he barely used any strength to throw the knife but that was beside the point.As I pulled it out of the area it was stuck, I turned to him, fuming at the fact that I had no choice but to do as he instructed.“Stop wasting my time, girl. Come over here and do what I asked else be prepared for what is to come!” Hamilton said with a cold tone.It seemed he had reached the edge of his patience.Obviously I didn’t care what he’d do to me but mom…s
It felt like my body was no longer mine to control in the first place.“Was it ever though?” Hamilton asked.I glared at him. “Let me go!”Hamilton grinned wickedly. “Why?”“You can’t do this.” I spat venomously but he didn’t seem to care as he stared at me like some sort of pathetic dog.Was that how he saw me?I hate you!I tried to struggle, if anything, I just didn’t want my body to remain under his will and so with everything I could muster within me, I dared to move and actually managed to take a step forward.I didn’t forget to catch the look of utter shock on Hamilton’s face as he saw me move despite his pressure on me.“You….” He trailed off as eyes grew wider and wider until… he burst into laughter. “Impressive, impressive indeed. I knew I wasn’t wrong when I chose you to become the one that would kill me. You are indeed worthy, no-one else. That defiance against me that is even greater than anything I could have ever imagined. That is indeed what I want and today you gave p
I couldn’t reply even though I the answer…or at least I think I did.The Otherworldly are a strange race.From the day they arrived in our world with the Fog till now, we haven’t still Ben able to figure them out.There are several theories explaining them, like they are aliens from another planet seeking to dominate our world.Or that they were aliens from a destroyed world, arrived here to have another place to call their own.So many.The funniest would from the Hope Church which states that the Otherworldly are demons sent to wipe out humanity and that only by faith and believing in the words of the Creator would we be able to survive the calamity to enter a new world.All in all, no-one really knows what the Fog is and where the Otherworldly come from.They are mysterious entities with a strange background.Of course, I could say that we understand enough to be able to use their bodies in serums to gain abilities but is it really safe?Especially after considering what I experien
