They were leaving the Arcade Zone, and Gaia and the others had enjoyed themselves somewhat. "I'm so happy," Zeira beamed. "See, your smile is so big, like a clown," Caiz teased her. "Caaaaiz!" Zeira yelled and ran after Caiz. Gaia just laughed while watching Zeira and Caiz bicker. "Did you enjoy it, Gaia?" Gaia looked at Fier as he suddenly spoke. "Yes, I enjoyed the arcade games. Thank you for coming along," Gaia smiled. Fier averted his gaze. Gaia then looked at the girl next to Fier, Rania. She seemed to have enjoyed it too, and so far, she hadn't been unfriendly. "D-don't thank me. Zeira came up with this," Fier stammered. Gaia heard Rania chuckle, so she looked at her. "What a chicken," Rania said playfully. Fier gave her a stern look, revealing to Gaia that Rania was talking about Fier. But she didn't know what Rania meant by 'chicken.' Gaia wondered about it. "Shut up, Rania," Fier hissed before storming away. Gaia looked curiously at Fier's back. Gaia was surprised when
INFRONT of a golden tree was the five powerful beings, all surrounding it, holding hands with closed eyes, chanting magical words in unison.And there was another figure in the midst, holding something that would give life to the new God."With the power you have bestowed,The golden tree shall bear fruit,A new God against him shall rise,But in creating, a price to pay,She shall not love anyone,She must fulfill the ordained,Under my guidance and power,She shall be born."The powerful man in the center uttered these words while throwing something into the golden tree.And from that day forth, the new God was born. The God who would change everything.
ANOTHER normal morning in the extraordinary Academy. Students entering, students chatting in the hallway, students arguing, and students who were not ordinary. Loufnorths Academy had the most powerful students, exclusively for those with abilities.The population of Theós country was divided between those who lived here— the ordinary and the extraordinary. It was the same worldwide.They believed their abilities were a gift from the gods, but not everyone received it. A child could have abilities even if their parents were ordinary. Gaia was one of the unlucky ones not granted an ability, and she liked it that way— or so she intended.But here she was, entering the academy where she didn't belong. The academy for those with abilities.She clutched her book, ignoring the stares thrown her way. However, her plan to avoid trouble was shattered when she overheard a group of girls planning to confront her.Gaia's plan to avoid trouble failed. In a matter of moments, she felt pain in her ba
"SO you're really a trash ordinary thing, huh?" The girl suddenly spoke to Gaia as she accompanied her towards the dorm room at the academy. They were the only ones in the hallway at that time since it was still class hours."Ah, yes..." The girl with ash-colored hair stopped walking and turned to look at Gaia, who was following her. She tossed a key that Gaia caught. They were now in front of Gaia's room."This will be your room, the two of you will share it. Good luck if you can survive this year at the Academy," she said emotionlessly to Gaia before leaving her alone. Gaia stood in front of a white door that matched the color of the walls. After a moment, she decided to enter.The room she entered was not too spacious. She noticed two doors, indicating her room and her roommate's room. Gaia closed the door and then focused on the interior. There was a two-seater sofa and a mini glass table in the middle. There was also a TV, which pleased Gaia somewhat.Gaia headed towards the sofa
GAIA woke up early in the morning, it’s just 5:30 AM and her class will start at exactly 7. She deliberately woke up early to have time to organize her things.While arranging her stuff, she looked for the necklace she needed to wear. She straightened out her clothes before rummaging through her suitcase. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the oblong black box that contained the necklace. She opened it and put on the necklace—a simple black circular pendant. It wasn't for decoration; it served a different purpose. Now she felt more at ease to step out. After sorting her belongings, Gaia decided it was time for a shower.In just a few minutes, Gaia finished showering and got dressed before leaving the room. She saw Zeira in the living room watching the news on TV. She approached her, but Zeira didn't notice her as her attention was fixed on the TV."Another person with an ability has been killed by the vigilante group called HUNTER. The group is known for leaving a note or any
IN FRONT of Gaia stood a God Tier. His eyes glowed a golden hue as he stared at her. She felt her knees shake due to the intensity of his gaze."And who are you to command me?" The newcomer spoke calmly but with a firm question. Gaia's tongue faltered, but she was determined to defend him. Zeira saved her earlier, so Gaia felt it was her turn to protect her."Let go of Zeira... She did nothing wrong," Gaia's voice, though shaky, carried courage. The man's face darkened because of Gaia's resistance. However, he slowly lowered Zeira, who almost lost her balance if not for Gaia's support."Are you okay, Zeira?" Gaia asked when she noticed Zeira weakening. Zeira nodded, then shot an accusing look at the man named Zhyke, who still stared sharply at Gaia."Z-Zhyke, please don't involve Gaia. I know you will punish me, but she's not part of the trouble." Gaia frowned at what she heard."But, Zeira? You didn't do anyth—" Zeira looked at Gaia, silencing her."Gaia, please... You won't be able
GAIA is currently walking with Zeira towards the classroom. Gaia is grateful to have someone to walk with in the Academy."By the way, Gaia, which class are you in?" Zeira asks her."Ah, I'm in XII Class A," Gaia replies, and Zeira taps her shoulder, chuckling."Of course, surely you'll be in Class A. Thinking that your intelligence is beyond normal, like you said. That's great, Gaia; we'll be classmates then," joy is evident in Zeira's voice. Gaia laughs in response to Zeira's reaction. She is happy because of someone, after going through months of hardship. 'Should I give her a try?' Gaia thought."What are you thinking?" Zeira asks Gaia, noticing her deep in thought. Gaia shrugs and smiles at her. "I'm just happy that you chose me as your friend, even though I'm just an ordinary student. I was supposed to follow your orders because I'm just a pawn," Gaia genuinely tells her. Zeira just pouts at her then playfully hits Gaia's arm."I know that you're a genuine person, Gaia. Student
EVERYONE turns their attention to Fier as he speaks, still seated and staring straight at the whiteboard.Whispers fill the room as Fier's unusual interference prompts a reaction from their classmates. Gaia and Zeira remain standing amidst the commotion, hearing their classmates push and shove each other, trying to figure out who was responsible."Mister Kraig, I'll take care of it. Now you two, take your seats," Gaia walks weakly, guided by Zeira."Such a waste of time," Zhyke hisses, audible enough for Gaia to hear. He glares at her as if she's the most insignificant thing in the world. Gaia clenches her fists as she takes her seat, trying to ignore the pain."Gaia, should I take you to the infirmary?" Zeira whispers to Gaia before she sits. Caiz also glances at Gaia, seemingly agreeing with Zeira's suggestion."N-no, Zeira, I'm okay. Besides, the class is about to start," Gaia forces a weak smile. She doesn't want to burden anyone. Zeira sighs and nods."Gaia, always stick close to
