"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.

"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.

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.

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

I believe that a traitor has infiltrated the Institution of Guhya. Whoever they may be, we will eventually confront each other.The three quickly go out to carry out my orders. I spent the whole afternoon scanning through the students' files, but I still could not find any answers. After a while, the door opens, and Blair enters."Thania, some parents are here to withdraw their children's enrollment," they say.I stand up and swiftly make my way out of the administration building. At the entrance, more than fifty parents have gathered, their faces filled with anger and frustration."Thania, we are here to withdraw our consent for our children's education in this institution," the apparent leader of the group states. I observe them, taking in their expressions. They are all angry, but one among them seems nervous.I got you."And someone should be held accountable for these incidents. We entrust our children here, believing that you will protect them while their lives are being sorted

"Thania is truly intelligent. She strategically spreads fear to expose the real culprit," I hear a woman say in the crowd. Judging by her voice, I recognize her as Beauty.As the crowd amasses in the open field, the atmosphere crackles with anticipation and bewilderment. The mother and the student accused of orchestrating the poisoning stand at the center of attention. President Maria, the embodiment of authority and justice, takes her place on the side, ready to preside over the trial."Queenie Lopez, how are you able to put poison in the food while joining the stroll yesterday?""While we are packing our lunch before leaving, I mix the poison with the ingredients that are there," she replies, staring blankly."What a huge foolishness!" President Maria shouts. The open field fills with whispering."Why did you do this? You killed thirty-one students!" President Maria shouts again, seething with anger.

"What do you mean, bro?" Damon asks again, trying to understand everything clearly."When you are in critical condition, we've heard that there's an existing school named after the Prime Lady. The school is a complete rival of the Institution of Guhya. And the students believe that the men in black are students from the said school. From my observation, they look just our age," Quinn explains completely."And if Queenie and her mother are really from that school, that means they were both enemies," Beauty suggests a point."But that's not the case now," Ethan points out."What do you mean, bro?" Damon asks."That means the rivalry between the two is the root of this chaos. And that also means this place is completely unsafe for us," Ethan concludes. They all fall silent and start to vanish from my sight."The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it becomes for us," Beauty concludes. From where I sit, as high as the second floor, I jump off and land on the lawn. I look at the sun's
