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

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

"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 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,

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

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.

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

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
