“Alright, everything should be ready now.”Daemon entered his room as soon as he finished eating dinner. He didn’t waste a single second. As soon as he locked the doors and sat on the chair right in front of his wooden desk, he opened the system window. Looking at what he gained from the recent ordeal.[20 Status Points][Information: These points are gained solely through the Sub Quest – Alpha of the Pack]Twenty points. He has twenty points in total that can be allotted to his [Intelligence]. He’s already got forty so, adding all of this will amount to more than he intended. Reaching sixty which, logically speaking, will better the effects he gains = something closer to the original skill [Calm Mind].But even before he could start this, he first needs to consult something with Ashtaroth. A detail that seems to have been overlooked because of the need of the situation.“Ashtaroth.” Daemon began. “Are you up?”It didn’t even take ten seconds before the demon responded to him. With a
[Cultivation Successful – You have reached the Second Gate.]These are the words that appeared in front of Daemon as soon as he opened his eyes again. Unlike what he thought, he wasn’t able to stay awake that evening. The sudden change that happened to his body’s state is so great that, it’s forced to shut down. Something which became even easier when he began his attempts to meditate.The path that he took, the one beyond the gates of fire, is scorching hot. Every step he took is made with his bare feet – his skin coming into direct contact with this burning sensation no matter what he does. There are flames everywhere and the sound of crackling from things that are set ablaze.Daemon can also smell the faint scent of something burning. Flesh, skin, and hair. All of these being burned from the surroundings though he does not see anything resembling a human nor a beast that’s caught in flames. Though all of these are bad enough to make him wake up again, he didn’t. Daemon remained in
Daemon’s told to go to the helipad before Desmon and Naga because, these two still has to talk between themselves. Of the things that are happening and, how it got to that point. Even though Desmond seems to be a carefree soul, he actually cares a lot about his comrades and how they feel. That’s why he stayed for a little while to debrief things further with Naga.“Are you sure we shouldn’t be going up there yet?” She asked.“The kid can wait. I already gave him what he wanted so he’s got nothing to complain about.”“Got him what he wanted huh.” Naga said. Desmond already knows what’s going through Naga’s mind. That this is not a normal occurrence. That a man like Desmond won’t just let a scholar get what they want. If he’s such a generous person, then there’d be more scholars for their organization and, they’d lose a lot of resources just by giving these same scholars what they want. That’s why the whole thing doesn’t make sense to Naga.“I’m surprised he got you to agree to this.”
Christian rode on a one of his father’s many Lamborghinis. A Miura P400SV which his father doesn’t even bother trying to hide in the garage. Flaunting it the same way that two other bodyguards in the front and back of this car are both driving top of the line BMW motorcycles.As for the car itself, it isn’t Christian who’s driving it. His father hasn’t given him permission after the last stupidity he performed where he crashed one of these prized cars of his father. He hasn’t been able to drive since because, these cars are also equipped with cameras. Showing who it is that’s driving.“What’s the schedule looking like today Bernard?” He asked as he looked out the window/“You have your orchestra practice at eight, young master. After that you’ll meet with the council to deliver the report on the expenses from your own private club. Next are your classes in foreign language and – ”“Boring.” Christian cut Bernard before the butler could finish talking. “Can’t I just go to a bar or some
Christian rushed to the Academy and headed straight to the council room. He disregarded everyone greeting him along the way and has his eyes tunneled to his goal. Assisted by Bernard who ran alongside him who, could’ve been faster if not for Christian slowing him down.That being said, Christian is able to reach his destination fast. He stopped right in front of the doors of the Student Council room. The place where Desmond is which, he’s already decided that he’d enter. Though things aren’t going the way he plans that easily as someone stopped him in that same moment.“Where do you think you’re going?”On his left is Damian who arrived at almost the same time as him. With this person are two others who are none other than the assistants of the said student. Though that’s what they’re called, these are actually Damian’s personal bodyguards. Ones who are very proficient in their job because of how easy it is for them to blend with the crowd due to their young appearance.“Desmond is th
Yvonne and Desmond continued their meeting for a whole hour. Within this period, they polished every part of the agreement between them. There are a couple of gray areas that’s been left out during their first encounter. Stuff that Yvonne purposefully left out in hopes that Desmond won’t catch up to her slyness. But that didn’t work the way she wanted it to.Desmond turned everything around and, even pushed her to her limits. So much so that there are new clauses that have been added to the agreement. Things that are only beneficial to Desmond’s party. Showing just why it is that he’s able to build such a reputable organization all on his own and, from the ground up.Compared to him, Yvonne is nothing more than a pup who thinks she’s queen of the world. That idea’s now shut down. Ruining her mood as this moment will forever be carved into her memory. And to make things worse, there’s the teen named Daemon who looks similar to the Daemon she knows. One who witnessed all of these as wel
Christian moved away from the council room because this is what he’s told to do. For the sake of not getting his father’s name tarnished, he went and followed Damian’s orders. Though it still feels off putting for him to be following Damian’s orders, there’s nothing he can do about it. However, he did expect to be called as soon as the meeting finishes as well. He’s Christian after all. The great Chirstian who is adored and loved by all. The one whom nobody can oppose. That’s why he thought that the basic courtesy of calling him as soon as Yvonne finished her deal with Desmond would be common sense.That didn’t happen.Christian isn’t notified and so, he didn’t know that this has ended. The only reason he even saw Desmond leaving the Academy is because he went to take a leak at the restroom. As he went out, he saw that Desmond’s group is already walking towards the helipad. Making Christian frantically run towards that same direction.He didn’t bother calling Bernard anymore. It woul
Christian stood there for a while longer. He watched as the chopper went away from the Academy. The strong wind continuously hit him and the sound is sharp and painful to the ears. But these things don’t matter to the teen who’s still caught with the rage that’s been planted within him. A seething rage that began to grow uncontrollably like a wild beast.When the sound of the helicopter began to die out, that’s the time that Yvonne approached him. She’s been there for the whole of this ordeal. Right as soon as Christian and Daemon spoke with one another, she’s already there in the background. Watching.Though she doesn’t seem to be a mere spectator because, when the conversation reached its end, she could swear she saw Daemon spare her a glance. And as this happened, the teen flashed a soft grin on her. Making her heart skip a beat for some reason. A sensation she’d never acknowledge because of the difference in position and standing between her and the aforementioned teen.Besides, t
