The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 41
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. 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

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

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
