The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 40
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

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
The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 43
"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. A long silence dominates the open field as the people quietly wait for Queenie's an

"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

"Grams!" I can't help but shout at her. If there's one person who tests my patience, it is Grams. She knows how to push my buttons."Oh, you're such a child. You've always been strict. I'm just teasing, you know," she replies with a pout."Enough, darling. Stop it. You're irritating our grandchild," Pops tries to restrain Grams."Why, darling? Lorde is handsome and talented. She's also a kind child," they say, which makes me even more annoyed."Oh well, let's go then so Thania can focus on her work," Pops suggests."Okay. Let's go," Grams agrees. When Grams stands up, she smiles at me."I'll leave now, dear. Think about what I said," she says again, causing Pops to slap his forehead. I do not say anything and just let them turn around and leave.I refocus on my work and after a while, the door opens again. This time, it is Blair who enters."Do you want to join us for dinner?" Blair asks me. I decide to join them for the meal to see the situation of the students nowadays, so I nod.Th

Beauty's Standpoint"Quinn!" I yell, stalking the entire classroom building with Damon beside me. Every minute Quinn is missing, my chest trembles more and more in fear of the possible danger that has happened to him. The multitude of emotions overwhelming my heart becomes too much for me to bear."Quinn!" I hear a woman scream on the other side of the building. It sounds like Blair, who has been helping us find Quinn's whereabouts. I also start to feel a bit better knowing that everyone is helping us, but my anxiety about his sudden disappearance is killing me. We continue to stalk the building, walking toward the other side where Blair's voice is coming from."Are you all right?" Damon asks, worrying about me."Yes," I answer as we continue to walk. I feel Damon's hand grabbing mine, so I look at him. He pulls me gently and makes me face him."Hey, calm down, please," he says to me. I feel my heart racing fast as I look at him, directly in the eyes. His eyes seem to be full of unspo
The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 47
Things move quickly and two weeks pass with the whole school being quiet. The students are full of excitement for the upcoming ten selections that will be held two days from now. According to them, the chosen ten rarely happens in a century. Also, we hear that it is fun to be part of the chosen ten because they are given special privileges at school. Because of this, we have also become interested in the said selection, hoping that this will be the way to get out of here. However, no one has mentioned the specific way in which the students will fight, leaving everyone unprepared for the impending battle.I am walking down the hallway when I hear someone yelling from one side. I recognize it as Kate and her two friends."Kate, are you going crazy? Why are you fighting us?" asks one of his friends who is annoyed. She is shocked when Kate pushes her, just enough to make her step backward."Because you betrayed me," Kate shouts."What are you talking about, Kate?" Kate's friends are confu

His powerful punches and flawless kicks overpower his opponent at every turn. We are simply amazed by the display of his abilities. This makes me wonder how he got injured while they were escaping. Then I remember Beauty once said it was because he was protecting them. With a single decisive blow, he seals his triumph, emerging as the undeniable champion of the match.The final fight is between Lorde and Xhyee. Xhyee's face reveals concern about their fight. It is clear to me who will win between the two of them. However, I think Thania intentionally does this to test Lorde if she is capable of hurting a weak woman in the name of success. This is a serious test, in my opinion.It is an unexpected matchup, a fight between a weak lady and a strong gentleman. The crowd gathers in anticipation, curious to witness how this peculiar challenge will unfold. Xhyee stands shyly in the center of the ring. Facing her is Lorde while standing in between them is Alhyssa who is confused as to why the

Without any warning, they immediately step onto the stage floor.As Alhyssa signals the start of the match, they both jump into action.Kate attacks with a display of arrogance, launching a flurry of high-speed kicks, each executed with gusto. She is determined to swiftly overpower Beauty, underestimating her skills. With her prowess and speed, Kate almost topples Beauty, gaining the upper hand. Beauty, however, remains calm and unbothered, focusing on reading Kate's movements. She steadily maneuvers around Kate's attacks, her defense impenetrable, as she carefully assesses Kate's fighting style."I will kill you," Kate utters as she struggles to bring Beauty down.As the fight escalates, Kate's overconfidence causes her to become reckless. Confident that she will win, she exposes the openings in his defense, giving Beauty a chance to get even. In a quick, calculated counterattack, Beauty rained down a flurry of kicks and punches, showing her ability especially when it comes to talkin

The days go by quickly, and I rarely see Thania. She is busy gathering information about the spies lurking around the school and investigating the killings that have occurred inside.I am currently lost in thought on the rooftop of the classroom building when I hear a rustling sound from behind me. I look back and immediately notice Quinn stumbling from his standing position. I rush over to him."Hey, are you OK?" I ask, supporting him. He nods while showing signs of dizziness."I just came back from the world of humans," he says, as I had expected."Thank goodness I am brought back here with you," he adds, surprising me.I quickly recover and speak, "Well, that's a good thing because if anyone else saw you, you would be in danger."When he seems to have recovered from his dizziness, I let go of him. I turn around and go back to my contemplation. He follows me and sits next to me."I've been looking for you for a long time, Blair," he says, surprising me. My eyebrows raise in disbelie

I do not know the reason, but I feel fear in Lorde's presence. He is too cold compared to Jax who, though serious, has a playful aura."You're now dismissed," Alhyssa says. Without a word, Thania stands up and leaves the room. We wait for Quinn to leave before following. I am the last one to leave, so I close the door. When we get out of the elevator, we stop, and we see Grams and Pops. Grams has a pout on her face while sadness is evident on Pops' face."You go ahead," Venice tells Quinn, who immediately refuses. "We'll come with you. They're our companions," Quinn says. We do not say anything, just nod. Grams and Pops approach us while Quinn stands by our side."Grams! Pops! Why do you look sad?" Alhyssa asks as they approach."Is it true? Did another student die?" Pops asks as a follow-up question."Yes, Pops. That's why we're going to see them," Alhyssa answers."That's probably why Thania didn't even look back when we called her. She's probably angry again about what's happening.

Blair's Standpoint"Yes," I confirm. They are all silent, and shock is plastered on their faces, except for Thania who always discovers things first."Did you become friends? As I remember, we were ten years old when you had surgery, Quinn, and we visited you. We do not see a child," Ethan asks with a tone of doubt."Although, she looks familiar. She's the girl you look at on the cellphone before Matt drowns, right? We even mistake you for a pedophile," explains Ethan who also cannot believe everything that happens. Quinn looks at me slightly as if his eyes are signaling something."We only meet twice. First, when her grandmother donates blood to me. Second…" Quinn stops abruptly. At the same time, I look back on the past.#I played quietly in the playground of the human world. After the war in Guhya, my parents sent me away to the human world to save myself from the war. There I was with my grandmother who lived in the real world despite being a Dji. Because she believed that we wer

We are even more shocked when Alhyssa flies backward because of Lorde's kick. Although Alhyssa is thrown, she recovers easily. She points her weapon at us again."Who is he?" Alhyssa asks out loud, perhaps shocked by what is happening. Thania comes closer and gets between us, so Alhyssa quickly withdraws the weapon."Thania, what are you doing?" She asks a confused question.Thania is silent at Alhyssa's question, and she turns to us."Load him and follow us. Venice, Blair, stay here," commands Thania.Before she can turn around completely, Blair stops her."I'll go with you," Blair almost shouts out of panic. Thania does not answer so we follow her and so does Blair. Ethan immediately loads him with our help. We board the subway train in silence. We feel each other silently. We easily reach the forest and as usual, Thania kneels and touches the ground, causing the dimension to open and the gate to appear. We quickly enter and follow them to the Administration Building. After a while,

"Beau?" They ask in chorus."Trust me this time," I say without looking at them and continue with my pace."Are you sure about this?" Damon asks as he grabs my hand. I look at him intently and nod, our hands still holding each other."I think I know the way," I say as I look at them one by one. "How?" This time, surprisingly, Lorde asks."I see it in my vision. I think I've been here before," I say, and they all furrow their brows."What are you saying, Beau?" Ethan asks, not able to believe what I just said."I don't know, Ethan, but you have to trust me in this," I demand. Despite their doubt, they follow me, and we rush in the direction I point out. With all the twists and turns, I find the path to the exit without hitting dead ends solely based on my memory. But with each passing moment, it feels like we are just going back and forth the same way."Beau, I think your vision is wrong," Quinn finally butts in again."No, we're almost there," I say, trying to defend myself."Beau, yo

We placed next to Max who has been constantly in the first place. The last round became difficult. I feel my vision blacking out and I am about to pass out. Even so, we remain at our place."Are you well, Beau?" Ethan asks, shouting from the side.I bob. My vision is turning around at a breakneck speed. One more step, and everything goes black. I wake up to the bumpy feeling and realize Damon is loading me on his back, while Ethan, Quinn, and Lorde are holding my back and cheering Damon on as they run at the same pace. I watch the finish line, and eight students are already there, while we are about twelve meters away. We continue and in a few minutes, we finish the race."Mr. Han, is that allowed?" One of our classmates asked about Damon's choice of loading me on his back."Race is about reaching the finish line, so that's technically acceptable," Mr. Han replies smiling. The race finished with the five of us being accepted. I also noticed Sachz finishing the race, her being in fifte
