Clouded By The Stars: New Moon End Of The Semester
*RING*The loud chiming of the university’s bell signalled the conclusion to the End of Semester Exams for Anchor Academy. The Academic calendar of the university contained the schedule for two semesters per year, and given that this was the 2nd Semester, one could safely conclude that the academic year had come to an end. Following the end of this academic year was a long vacation that would occupy almost a quarter of the year! Four months was a long time to be away from school, but there wasn’t a single student complaining about it. Several students were already out in the streets celebrating, with some even tossing their semester recommended textbooks away!The Medical School was no different. Once the bell rang, several students returned their papers to the examiners with trembling hands. They weren’t afraid; far from that. They were so excited that the semester was over that they could barely contain themselves! Their trembling was due to their anticipation of the long break, and

“Relax. I don’t bite and I am not here to fight. Besides, there are too many people around. I don’t fight in school.” Sam, the person who was blocking Kylie’s way, scoffed disdainfully while waving her hand dismissively.“Oh really? Didn’t you try to kill me on the old playground the other time?” Kylie mocked, her eyes flashing coldly.She had not forgotten what had led to the duels. At that time, Sam waited until Davies and Jack were away from Kylie before making her move. Kylie wasn’t wrong for thinking that she wanted to do something similar given that she had waited for the two boys to leave before approaching Kylie once again. Kylie’s mocking words seemed to have hit their target squarely on her chin, for Sam’s lips twitched at the mention of her past failed attempt, and the confidence in her eyes faltered slightly. Of course, given that it was Sam we were talking about, she regained her calm quite easily.“I said I am not here to fight,” Sam reiterated.“Oh, is that so? And I am

Indeed, Kaizo was here. He was seated opposite Professor Dewsbury in his usual inconspicuous attire. His eyes squinted in appreciation when he saw Kylie. He seemed a tad surprised to see her here, meaning that he was not here to see her.*It seems that your Grandmaster has a past*Kylie nodded her head internally at Red’s words. From the way Kaizo was sitting and the fact that Professor Dewsbury did not seem repulsed by his presence, it was clear that the two were acquainted.“Kylie? I didn’t expect to see you here,” Sir Kaizo smiled gently as he watched Kylie walking towards him. While that sounded like what everyone would say when they met someone, his words were sincere. This was not a meeting he had been expecting.“Nor I, Grandmaster,” Kylie smiled and gave the older man a short hug before greeting the surprised Professor Dewsbury.“Good day Professor.”“Hello Kylie. You know Jason?” Professor Dewsbury asked. Her words caused Kylie’s eyes to shine brightly. Sir Kaizo on the other

“Your transitions aren’t quick enough!”*Boom**Whoosh*“That’s better! Now swivel and dash towards the end of the stage!”*Boom**Voom*“Excellent! Double back and explode!”*Whoosh**BOOM*“Good. That will be all for now. Take a ten-minute break.”Once she heard the words of Shattering Lion, Kylie slumped to the ground in a heap. She breathed heavily, her bountiful chest moving up and down with each breath taken and expelled. Shattering Lion was gentle and kind, but his training methods were brutal and hardcore. Kylie secretly wondered at times if he was a masochist. Of course, she didn’t have the confidence, nor did she have the level of shamelessness required to ask him this question.“Is he still not back?” Kylie asked while taking large sips of her water.She was referring to Galbraith, the head and lord of the Lion King tribe and the scion of the Kingsman family where she resided. Kylie was supposed to be given details of her first Labour today, and the one who was supposed to

Kylie sat in a train, her eyes closed and her breathing rhythmic. To either side of the Lion King’s Legacy were Davies, her best friend, and Jack, the son of the Crowned Lion King. Like Kylie, both men had their eyes closed.It had been three days since Elder Beatrice’s visit, and just yesterday, Kylie was finally briefed on the details of her Labour. The setting chosen for her test was A City of Kanto Country, and the train she was on was one that was destined to arrive in the famous business city in just four hours. Her target for the Labour was the A City Underworld.Every city had its dark side. Just like every object possessed a shadow, every city had its alleyways. The difference between each city, however, was how far the shadow stretched. A City was a city that housed many influential individuals. As such, it was difficult for dark organisations to set up shop there; however, this had changed three months ago.Ogre’s Nest, a criminal organization that was famous in other parts

“Welcome, children of the Lion King. I am Michael, and this is my brother Muriel. It is a pleasure to have you here.”Michael sat behind a large desk, next to Muriel, a handsome and welcoming smile on his face. Before the desk were Davies, Kylie, and Jack. Unlike the two brothers, the three friends stood silently in military format, their necks straightened, and their backs unbent. The Lion Kings were warriors who were not permitted to bow their heads before anyone but their own people.“Thank you, Sir Michael. It’s nice to meet you and Sir Muriel. I am Kylie, the captain of this small team. To my right is Davies, and to my left is Jack.”As the representative of the team and a Legacy, Kylie was the only one permitted to speak in such a setting. Nodding her head lightly and sporting a business-like smile, she offered her greetings as respectfully as possible.Michael and Muriel didn’t seem to mind what any other person would have regarded as an insulting greeting. They had worked with

Within the room assigned to the Lion Kings, Kylie was going over the contents of the dossier with Jack and Davies. Kylie had spent a great deal of time with the duo, discussing their plans based on the new information that they had been given and deciding the best way forward.“So, that’s all the information that we have. Anything else would have to be gleaned from our own investigations. We must be thoroughly thorough and accurately accurate. And most important of all…”“…we must be discrete.” Davies mumbled, completing his friend’s statement.“Exactly,” Kylie nodded her head in agreement.Per what the brothers had shown her, Ogre’s Nest had infested several companies at the top level, and they had stretched their hands towards Sky Corporation. So far, Michael and Muriel had identified three individuals working for Ogre’s Nest. Of the three, one was an old employee who had dedicated all of his life to Sky Corporation and had been present since the company was founded, while the other

Professor Huckleberry, a man who was once nominated for the coveted Brilliant Scientist Award, was an engineer who was loved by the entire academy. It didn’t matter that he was not part of the medical school, every medical student adored the man, and those from the Arts shared in their sentiment as well. He was a warm, cuddly, and gentle old man who was akin to something of a grandfather to all the students. He was always ready to help and eager to provide for all who needed help. He was a firm advocate for the rights of the students and had helped many acquire scholarships in their studies. Such was the goodness he had bestowed upon the students of Anchor Academy, that his name was still sung in the several halls on campus. He was the best there was for the young people, and it surely was not good news to hear his name come up in such a situation.“Are you sure you read the name right?” Davies asked.Even someone like him who had lived the life of an assassin was shaken by what he ha

Kylie had another dream. Well, at this point, she spent more time dreaming than she did staying awake; however, this dream was familiar. It was an image she had seen before and one that she did not miss. She did not think she would see this again, but here she was once again, her spirit stranded on this worn-down planet. The red sun in the sky bore down on her and transmitted great heat, for although this was a dream, Kylie could feel the burning fire of the sun. The Legacy candidate of the Lion King tribe tore her eyes away from the sun and cast her eyes to the only figure present on this planet. Unlike her meet dream of this place, there were no enemies today. And unlike the first time, the protagonist of this dream was staring at her.A figure that seemed familiar yet eerily unfamiliar. It was as though she was holding a dystopian mirror before herself, for the person Kylie was looking at was an alternate image of herself. Same face, same figure, same complexion, and the same heigh

“What...is...that?” Razor asked with widened eyes. His arms which held Philip trembled strongly as his transformed skin failed to cope with the scorching heat now present in the hall. Yet even though his fur sizzled and burned, Razor could feel nothing. All that went through his mind was the shock of seeing Kylie in this new form.“Did you know about this?” Jack turned to Davis and asked. “No. Of course not. This is my first time seeing something like this” Davies replied.Both men were stunned by what they were seeing. Jack was using his spear to absorb the heat that threatened to reduce him to ash, for his spear’s origin was related to a creature that loved flames. As for Davies, he was using Jack as a shield by standing as close to him as possible. His response to Jack was not marred with lies, for he indeed had no idea what was going on. He had never seen Kylie in this form before, neither had he seen her radiating so much fury. No...wait. He had seen her show this much anger be

“Those eyes that were formerly lost, are now filled with conviction. They have figured it out.” Bloodlust muttered to herself silently, the pretentious crazed look she had mustered fading into nothingness. Her eyes still held her rage and her quivering from the loss of her brother did not cease, but her hidden wisdom had been pushed to the surface. This change was easy to discern. After all, it was easy to tell when an opponent had suddenly turned cautious.“Don’t worry about her ability to regenerate!” Kylie screamed, not telling the others that Davies held the key to defeating this monster; such a decision would cost them their element of surprise.Unfortunately for Kylie, Bloodlust was keen and sharp. She was unlike her brother. The moment she saw Kylie and Davies exchanging looks and noticed that his demeanour had grown emboldened, she was confident that the two were plotting something. She didn’t know how they had communicated without saying a word, but she would be arrogant to d

Kylie frowned as she watched Bloodlust rapidly approaching. Razor was engaged with the Blood Daemon, keeping her at bay with his powerful blows and tearing her apart with the blades that adorned his arm. Unfortunately, his victim could be so careless with her actions and her attacks. Her swift attacks and careless nature made it difficult for Razor to be as brazen as he usually was, affecting his fighting style. Thankfully, Razor was not alone. Jack was there as well.As someone who had trained more as a marital artist than as a beastman, Jack was more suited to a battle like this. In a battle that required more caution than brazen obliteration of the enemy, Jack was a better fit. Phillip had also crawled out of the wall he had been struck into. While he was not as strong as Razor or as skilled as Jack, he too was used to a more reserved fighting style due to the fact that he had been fighting against opponents stronger than he was for the past few weeks of training prior to the missi

Dark Shadows’ eyes fluttered close as she embraced death. She didn’t think she would die like this but alas, when did she become the decider of her fate? Her greatest delusion had been to underestimate the beastmen because they were young. If she had taken them seriously from the start and actually drawn up a strategy to handle them, even if she had lost, she would have taken half of the team with her. It was unfortunate for the one who ruled these parts to come to this realization while standing on death’s door; however, her death was not filled with only regret.Yes, she had failed to lead properly and caused Slender and Muscles’ death by sending them after opponents who were much too ready for them. Yes, her foolishness and carelessness had led to the death of Breaker, meaning that even if she had survived, the Blood Daemon family would have killed her for her error. And yes, she had brought Bloodlust to tears and broken the spirit of the once reserved girl. These were all things s

For as long as she could remember, she and her brother had been together. From the moment of their birth to the time the family decided that they should go on their pilgrimage, they had been together. That was the life she had grown accustomed to. Her brother’s presence had become a part of her. He was an extension of her image, a mirror that reflected the part of herself that was always suppressed. Her strict nature and bridled character could be maintained because he was free for both of them. Hs carelessness and free spirit made up for her lack of either one thereof, making it easier to reach the level she had reached.Daemons were special. Each one was highly valued, and the Daemon families were powerful in their own right. Much like the Beastmen’s influential tribes, Daemons were the influential families of the Undead, and their elders came from these families. From Speed Daemons to Rage Daemons and Blood Daemons, Daemons were a force to be reckoned with; a force that not even th

“Sh*t” Dark Shadow could not help but swear when she saw Breaker’s head rolling helplessly across the floor.Her eyes flashed coldly as rage and fear overcame every fiber of her being. It was unusual for the two polar opposite emotions to share the same space, but that was exactly what was happening right now. Her eyes sought the figure of the assassin. She wanted to see the one who had been so brave as to venture into her den alone. After all, she didn’t believe that all the beastmen who had been sent this time were assassins. Yet she could not catch a glimpse of the assassin. She roared in rage as she stamped her foot onto the ground, but her rage would not last long. For in no time, a large figure broke through the door of the throne room, blowing it to smithereens, and barged inside with an insidious smile on his face. This person was a beastman covered in spikes. His shaggy mane was reflective of his clan and Dark Shadow knew immediately who was behind this.“The Lion King tribe!

Dark Shadow sat silently upon her throne. Her eyes gazed calmly upon the large chandelier hanging from the centre of the ceiling that had been unused since the time she started living here. After all, what need did an Undead have for light. Whether it was sunlight or artificial light, it did not have a place in their land.“It feels quiet without them here,” Dark Shadow muttered, sighing tiredly.“If Slender and Muscles heard you say this, they would be very pleased,” said an Undead who had just walked into the room.Next to this Undead was another of his kind but of the opposite sex. The two approached Dark Shadow’s throne and knelt before her, offering their respect to their mistress.“Bloodlust greets Mistress Dark Shadow.”“Breaker greets Mistress Dark Shadow.”Looking down upon her two subordinates, Dark Shadow chuckled lightly and gestured for them to stand. These two, Bloodlust and Breaker, were the other two 4 Star Undead under her command. Bloodlust and Breaker were both Bloo

Psycho opened his eyes to the unfamiliar sight of daylight. He squinted naturally, as was expected for a creature more accustomed to the shadows and began to squirm uncomfortably. He wanted to get out of the light and into the darkness. His eyes rapidly sought for shade or shelter, anything that could grant him respite from the scorching heat of the sun that threatened to suck him dry.“Why am I here? And where is the captain?” Psycho wondered as his patched and cracked lips refused to part to even allow him to speak.He didn’t know why he couldn’t move as freely as he wanted, for his eyes were struggling to adapt to the piercing brightness of the sun. He could not see properly. His body just felt unusually heavy. Almost as though there was something keeping him bound. The last time he felt this way was right before he awakened as an Undead. For before he opened his eyes to this world that he knew, his body would not listen to him. Since then, he had clawed his way through the bittern
