Chapter: Chapter 44: Tainted SelectionChapter 44: Tainted SelectionThe group continued to shield themselves, as the loud noise was still banging at the Ground.As it came to an end, Winter released her shield, as well as Moon to his force field."So this how the Overall Skill Selection works.." Lucas noted to himself.Footsteps heard.They all looked back to witness someone going towards them.THUD! The girl that was supposed to go towards them fell onto the Ground! Lucas rushed to help her."Are you okay?!" Lucas panicked, as well as Moon and Doll. The rest of them went there to see who is that girl.The girl looked pale. She has her hip-length, blue hair. She was bruised and exhausted.----"So that Ender has the power to control others with her loud noise?" Doll asked, sitting on a boulder along with the others.The girl they met was still weak, and was still lying on their made-up bed. Moon and Ghaile were there near at her to treat her."We should check if the others were also okay.." Winter whispered."No! Let them

Chapter: Chapter 43: Inside the Virtual CityChapter 43: Inside the Virtual CityThe day of the actual Overall Skill Selection came to commence. Lucas, Moon, Winter, Ghaile and Doll reside at the same spot while everyone are scattered."Only 8 Participants should be left on the Ground before we end the Selection. Those 8 will be trained and will be the part of White Day's team for the Tournament."Principal Lyns instructed the rules of the Selection. Standing in the middle of the whole city-like field. Holding a microphone, she said "It was not a one-on-one battle, nor tag battles.. It was an all-out war!""It was like what the Tournament does. Even a group of people can beat a single one if they wanted. They can hide to prevent being defeated, too.""You can be defeated anytime. You can stand again anytime you fall. But one thing is for sure.. The one who keeps standing until the end will be the one who will be selected!"Lucas listened carefully despite being nauseous yesterday. He can't sleep that night, thinking about the dan

Chapter: Chapter 42: The Suspect of ThatIt was four o'clock in the afternoon when I decided to go home. My Dad immediately opened up the door for me."Where did you came from?""Just there with—""What did you get with what you're doing, huh, Xia?" He was furious.How did he know?"D-Dad…""Stop what you're doing, Xia. You won't get anything out of it!" He was so angry, I couldn't stare at his eyes. "You'll just be damned there!""But, Dad...""I want you to stop! Another news about you that was related to that woman… you'll be grounded!"I no longer answered. I just nodded and went straight to my bedroom. I could understand why he was worried for me. His worry was obvious in the tone of his voice.How can I investigate further? The three suspects have been confirmed, the only one left is the latter. Who are you? Are you involved? Did you leave a trace? Why did you come back?It was hard! So many questions were in my mind until now. But how can I answer all of this when I have limited things to do?I fell asleep thinking. T

Chapter: Chapter 41: The Next VolumeAs Lucas was asleep, he was unaware that The Ender was outside the apartment. She was wandering outside, chanting a different language. It sounded like a fable or a tale.The wind blew outside the apartment, at the cliff where The Ender was walking. As she held onto the grass, she continued talking about the chants she was musing over."THE HAUNTED HOUSE"She talked. Then, she began narrating."Oh, Rosy! I was told that the house you bought was haunted," said Ariana, new friend of mine.We have moved there recently, in Ariana's town and the news that greeted me was that— there was a ghost inside our house that they said was haunted. I don't believe them. It was almost a month when we got here but there was no sighting of any ghostly thing here. The thing I was afraid of was my younger brother that was always laughing."Where did you get that hearsay? You're already a college student and that spooky stories we use to scare kids was still your thing," I said, almost laughing loudly at h

Chapter: Chapter 40: Night Before the SelectionChapter 40: Night Before the SelectionA few hours have passed since the Press Conference took place at the White Day High as well as the conversation with Lucas and Vacio. As Lucas lied on his bed, he grabbed his phone for some news he wanted to read.Bunch of onlookers are still continuing to bash him online, adding the scene he created at the meeting. Some are also blaming him for the expelling of the Two Bastions.But the cynosure of all the news article was the scene he created while brawling with Mister Vacio. That was a bad news. He didn't know what made him do that.The ruckus continued nonstop, and the stares given to him have changed, according to what he felt that time. If before, they look at him in contempt, now they were avoiding him as if they were intimidated. Lucas didn't really understand the people in this school as he covered himself with a blanket on his bed at his apartment.But what he didn’t expect was that he wasn’t punished because of the scene he made.

Chapter: Chapter 39: The Name He Was CalledChapter 39: The Name He Was CalledLucas stood before a coffee shop that was located near the city center of White Day. Before he even got there, he realized that Mister Vacio had already arrived. He was so punctual and having some kind of stuff late wasn't his thing.One look was enough for him to recognize Vacio. In the dim light, he was sitting quietly beside a scenery window with a pot of untouched mint tea near his hand. He slightly tilted his face towards the window and looked like he was irritated.His tuxedo was buffed and it looked like his right hand was casted. Lucas didn't know what caused his hand to be like that, but he must bet it was for the public sympathy. Since all the people believed that he was the one who caused damages to Vacio, it was easy for him to rev things up by disguising as the injured one.Outside the window, there were lush broad-leaved trees that caused him to seem warmer and petty than usual. However, Lucas knew that it was just the illusion of a res

Was it a chain?

So where it is?"I've asked so many people but they don't know where a nearby library was!" she just sulked at the nearby chair and sat. "Is there library here in the first place?"She just shook her head. After all, finding the book on herself will raise her status at the group. She will be the real cynosure!!"That's why I should find it as fast as possible!" she said and stood. She ran and so positive that she can search for the book by herself!---Meanwhile, Ella stared as she misstepped into an orange brick, and a creaking sound was heard! She looked up at the ceiling and saw the brick proportionally above it moved towards the North West!"Huh?! What happened?!!"The arrow of that brick that was facing west slowly moved towards Northwest. Ella looked towards the Northwest, and saw a strange portion of the wall."Was that wall a closed door?" she whispered

Chapter: Chapter 034Chapter 34: Search for the BookI and Emma stared at the four staffs who arrived at the cart we are boarding on. "Who are they, Emma?" I silently asked."Let me introduce ourselves." One of the most elderly man walked before us. "We are the prevent staffs of the Alpha High""And we are here to stop you!" one of them interfered.Emma was left shocked. "To stop us?""We heard your infiltration last day, and that you're searching for the book Priam wrote that was considered confidential to the school." the first one who spoke replied."We won't!" I said with full of certainty. "We cannot let you do that!"After all, who are they to command me? I am Priam's child! I have to authority to search for his book."W-Why would..." Emma whispered in shock. "...the information leaked too fast?!"She's right! Why would that happened?"We came here preserve such libraries as a part of our duty being librarian staffs." another one of them said."Your searching can damage such libraries and books!" th

Chapter: Chapter 033Chapter 33: IMBALANCELou heard his wife come in the front door and glanced at the bedside clock. It was almost half-past-two in the morning. Could have been worse, he supposed. She’d warned him it would be a long session. He couldn’t be the one to talk, he’d only just got over the headache from old Barrington’s retirement party. He waited in a pleasant state of semi-consciousness for the sound of her feet on the stairs, water running in the bathroom, the rustle of undressing, the shock of cold air as she pulled back the duvet to climb in beside him.But as the drowsy minutes slipped by there was no further sound from downstairs. Maybe she was making herself a cup of coffee to clear her head. Those hen parties could be pretty wild affairs, he had been told. He opened his eyes and glanced at the clock again. Forty minutes had passed. He became fully awake. Forty minutes? It doesn’t take forty minutes to make a cup of coffee.He sat up and listened hard, but all he could hear was the br

Chickens cross roads, producing situations which can provide the alert motorist with a free dinner.Timothy Leary: Because it was the only kind of trip the Establishment would allow him to take.Freud: The fact that you even notice a chicken crossing the road is highly revealing with regard to your state of clinical sexual frustration.Richard M.

Chapter: Chapter 031Chapter 31: BREAKING NEWSAbsolutely genuine, unedited news items...Firework Prank Back-fires" I wanted to play a prank on her, but I can see I hadn't really thought it out," 35 year old Shannon Kramer admitted to police officers from his hospital bed in Jacksonville, Florida. "I'd driven my girlfriend out to the beach in my old Mustang, and she got out and was walking around. I was sitting in the drivers seat and I thought it would be kinda funny to shoot a firework at her out of the window.I had a box of 6 inch rockets with me so I aimed one at her and lit it. Only then did I realise that the electric window was wound up. I couldn't wind it down because the key wasn't in the ignition. I suppose I should have opened the door and got out, but by the time I'd thought of that, the rocket had gone off and was whooshing round and round inside the car. It was awful. So bright and loud and hot and fast. I thought I was dead. I couldn't see, couldn't hear, it set fire to my hair and cloth

Chapter: Chapter 030Chapter 30: PIGEONS AND PATRIOTSMrs. Rogers said that somebody came to the door yesterday asking about me. A man in his forties with an Irish accent. She couldn't tell what he looked like because it was dark.She was surprised when I told her I was leaving. She said: "Leaving? Already? You've only been here three months." Actually she was wrong, it's less than that. Three months would be close to my record. She asked me if there was something wrong, some reason why I wasn't happy here. I gave her the usual story. "Got to go where the job sends me," I said. If only there was a job. That little bit of money I invested all those years ago is nearly gone now.Considering present circumstances though, it looks like it's been enough to see me out. Who would have thought it? There wasn't much lying ahead for me. When all the money was gone I would have gone into some kind of hostel for down-and-outs, I suppose. Pretended to be mad so that I wouldn't have to provide a past. I would have surv
