Nevertheless, she remains unfazed. The enemies carry long weapons, while I can only see pins flying from her hands, striking her enemies. With incredible agility and precision, she expertly dodges every strike, moving in sync with her opponents' movements. Despite her diminutive weapon, each well-placed strike of her pins proves to be devastating. The pins pierce through, finding the weak points of her opponents one by one.With the strong thrust of her pin, she knocks down the final opponent. She walks toward our cell slowly, and shortly after, she stands in front of us. Before us stands the strongest Valencia – Thania. Her presence commands respect and awe. Her eyes are filled with coldness and no hint of weariness from the intense battle. It is evident that she has fought countless battles before, honing her skills to perfection. As she stands before us, her dark energy seems to radiate, leaving us speechless.She looks at us suspiciously. Her sharp eyes seem to read every movement
Our hearts pound in our chests as we watch the president's expression closely, searching for any sign of what the outcome might be. Time seems to stand still, each passing second feeling like an eternity as the president carefully examines the contents. We hold our breath, our hopes and fears intertwined. The room is filled with tension as if the weight of the decision hangs in the air, and I cannot help but feel the weight of the moment, knowing that our fate lies in those pieces of paper. But because Max is the one who handed over the folder, a big part of us loses hope and accepts our painful fate.After reviewing the paper, President Maria inspects each one of us, and later sighs and slightly shakes her head. Without hesitation, she utters words that bring us immense relief."I'm sorry for doubting you. Release them," she says. These words are clear instructions, showing that we are no longer in trouble. So, with that, we feel relieved. I look at Blair, who seems equally surprised
Lorde's StandpointTwo weeks pass, and our days remain peaceful, although there is still an underlying awkwardness between Beauty and me. I continue my search for files to prove that Matt and Jax are the same person, but Alhyssa's records yield no trace of him.Finally, we officially become students at the Institution of Guhya. Our credibility goes unquestioned, all thanks to the falsified file Max submitted. It contains a consent form from our unreal parents, as well as proof of our residency in the Kingdom of Guhya. I may not understand Max's motives for manipulating our student profiles to save us, but I am grateful for the outcome. Damon's recovery also progresses quickly, allowing him and Beauty to resume their bickering.Currently, I find myself sitting alone on the rooftop of the classroom building, lost in thought. However, my contemplation is abruptly interrupted by the unexpected voices of an old woman and an old man speaking from behind me."Child, what are you doing there?
"You can leave," she says to Sejun. He immediately nods and walks away. I move slightly to let him pass and finally close the door. Thania turns around and takes something from one of the cabinets there. It is a brown envelope, and it seems to have thick contents. She lays it out on the table, which makes me take a step forward."That's what you were looking for, right?" she asks, which surprises me. It is as if she knows everything that is on my mind. She is not just smart, there is a reason why she is called the brain of the school. Her brilliance and quickness in fighting are exceptional. And besides that, it cannot be denied that she possesses intelligence that is unmatched by anyone.I pick up the envelope and open it. Inside is Matt's student profile. They are also manipulated. I flip through the next papers. There are pictures of Matt with Valencias. It is undeniable that they are close in the pictures. Their faces radiate happiness in those photographs. However, most of the pi
"Wolf!" Beauty exclaims in shock. I quickly jump and cling to a tree branch out of surprise and fear that the child might be attacked. As I start to descend, I am even more surprised by the wolf approaching the child, which makes the child laugh. The wolf gently nudges the child back toward the depths of the forest. It seems like they are two close friends. I stand still atop the tree, filled with wonder, as they disappear from my sight."What just happened?" Quinn says in surprise."Can you make it back up here?" Ethan asks me and reaches out for my hand.I carefully make my way across the branches. When I am close to the window, I jump and grab onto his hands. He lifts me up and with one final pull, I manage to return to my position."I wonder if the child is alright," Quinn asks."It looks like the wolf is her pet," Ethan replies.The night ends with Damon accompanying Beauty back to her room.#The next morning, we attended the class early. When we enter the classroom, there are o
These architectural wonders' glistening windows represent the aspirations and drive for advancement of the city.As we stroll around the busy streets, I cannot help but notice how stylish the locals are. Their clothing blends current and avant-garde styles, with shiny accents and glistening materials giving them an air of opulence. It's as though the city itself encourages people to dress in a way that accentuates its lavish environment. The metropolis is covered in a mystical glow created by the buildings' multicolored lighting. A captivating show that appears to be taken right out of a dream is created as the brilliant lights dance off the gold and silver fixtures."I miss this," exclaims a man who is feeling the beauty of the kingdom.Our companions burst into laughter. I glance at Thania, who is standing beside me. I am surprised when she also looks at me. As usual, she looks at me with intense coldness. She turns around as if nothing has happened. We proceed to a subway train wit
Damon and I quickly go to Beauty to assist her while she faints. After a while, we get off at a narrow hallway with a towering building overlooking it. We cross it and soon arrive at a large house. The magnificent house is adorned with exquisite architecture. The spacious halls are filled with wealth, with every corner glistening with gold and silver. As I walk further into the house, I am greeted by the gleaming chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings. Their crystals sparkle like hundreds of diamonds, casting a glittering tapestry of light across the grand rooms. The walls are adorned with intricately carved golden frames, showcasing priceless artworks and portraits. The floors beneath my feet are made of marble, their smooth surfaces shining like mirrors, reflecting the luxurious surroundings. We enter a spacious room, and there Thania lays Beauty down on the bed. "What happened?" I ask Damon as we surround Beauty. "She keeps complaining about a headache while we're strolling
Thania's StandpointI quickly ran down the hallway toward the medical building. I cannot think of anything else but Sejun's life. He is one of my most loyal followers, and I cannot deny that I feel indebted to him. As I step inside the medical building, I find the lifeless bodies of students and other aylwards. I slowly approach them, kneeling in front as a sign of respect. Suddenly, the emergency room door swings open, and nurses emerge carrying yet another lifeless body. The nurses look at me with sadness in their eyes, as if they too are carrying the pain we all feel."Thunder Dwyn, 21, the 28th death due to poisoning," they declare in a trembling voice. Without hesitation, I enter the emergency room and there, I see three people lying motionless, fighting for their lives. At the end, I see Sejun, trembling with weakness. I slowly approach him."Sejun," I call out. He looks at me, his once nimble fingers now weakened by the sinister toxin coursing through his veins. His lips are pa
