The next day, September 4, Wednesday.
Two great news shocked the Holy Child Academy.
The first bombed them early in the morning and didn't truly give them its intended result until it was paired up with the second one and later caused the management to be put in a difficult and complicated situation.
"This is really unbelievable. I don't know anymore what's happening to our academy."
"Yeah, even I was very shocked. I mean, just this Thursday, everyone is still full of energy and expectation about the upcoming School Fest. My class is even planning to hold a small party to celebrate after the fest is over. Unfortunately the next day, Teacher Anne died and the culprit is still not apprehended. It is just very sad."
"I totally agree, girl. The rich Holmes family refused to give everyone an explanation. It's obvious that their heir, that damn Aeron, is the killer. I think they are secretly hiding that bastard because they don't want him to get jailed.
Inside the publication room, a bespectacled girl was sitting soullessly on a chair in front of a computer. It was the Editor in Chief Zendee Broe. Her recent sex-mate Xander sat next to her, hugging her from behind."I'm sorry, Chief. It's my fault."Zendee started shaking her head. But her eyes still had no luster in them, like a worn out metal that could not even reflect the tiniest light. Both she and Xander were being consumed by guilt. Two days ago, they did something inconceivable to the facts that got circulated online, blowing the things out of proportion. Despite knowing that everybody already knows before they published it, the thought that they could have been the reason for Christine's suicide and death ate away at their mind, soul and conscience."I'm sorry, Christine. I didn't know things would become like this. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me...""Blame me, I shouldn't have rushed here to share the news with you. If not for my stupidity
When the afternoon classes ended, Eithan encountered Agatha who was with her best friend Misty. Their paths crossed a few meters away from the crowded gate. Agatha was speaking with somebody over the phone back when he passed her. She was saying,"No, no, Amanda, be comfortable at home. But don't forget to cook dinner and not only eat instant, okay?... I will visit you on weekends. See you, take care, Sis."He seemed to hear Misty asking when did Agatha had a sister, and Agatha said the person was a distant relative that she had taken as her new family member. Those were the only details he learned as he Eithan didn't listen much. Nothing could interest him in the world anymore. Not at this moment.He walked home looking like a living corpse, and even his cat Tintin was scared. The cat he named after her name hurried out of the house to avoid him, but he didn't even notice. His state perfectly described what a broken-hearted guy is, someone who's heart broke bec
B Empire, one of the nations embracing monarchy in the current world. Paul had been away from Country F since Wednesday which was five days ago. Business reason. He actually didn't need to personally go but because his grandfather urged him to, he had to give face to the elderly and flew to B Empire to conduct the deal face to face. The other party was from a reputable Perfume Empire standing at the very top of its industry in worldwide acclaim. The current CEO was his grandfather's peer and friend. The elderly's name was Harold Caronia. This was already their fourth day of discussion. After the meeting hosted by the Caronia Perfume and Fashion, he accompanied the CEO for a dinner, chatted a bit about fine wine and business, before parting ways. He went back to his hotel room, immediately took a bath and prepared to go to sleep. Unfortunately when he had just draped the comforter to his body cladded only with a robe, a soft and teasing hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The mom
Cloe Hadid elegantly pressed the last key for the piece, ending her piano performance with a sound so beautiful and harmonious with the previous notes. A smile blossomed from her perfectly shaped cherry lips, her eyes twinkling with intelligence and charm turned to the crowd on her left side. It was a good start to a peaceful Monday. Inside the music room of the eleventh-grade building, students madly clapped to Clea's piano performance. The girl was really befitting of her goddess title. As she sat in front of the piano with her hands still resting on top of the keys, she looked so beautiful and ethereal. Even Misty, who was leaning on the wall opposite the piano with her arms folded, gave a smile and a nod as to convey her awe to her friend. "Cloe is really good in piano. When she performs, be it casually like this, she exudes so much charm that I bet everyone listening is falling in love." Cloe turned her head to the nerdy who spoke before she cheekily grinned. "I heard that!
<System: You sure enjoy life now, huh? I'm quite pissed.> 'Hehe.'Agatha giggled and this was the first time that she did. Mostly, it was the other way around. The system was always laughing at her as it made her do stupid tasks.<System: Your points are down to the hundreds again. But I'm glad at least you spent everything in the shop.> 'You getting senile? Where else can I spend my Points, anyway?' <System: Tch. You upped the rest of your attributes to flat 20. That's a good choice.> 'Yup. Increasing Luck has been the most painful though. And I'm down to 783 Points after I upgraded Hypnotism so fervently. Anyways, you're strangely complimenting me huh. What have you eaten?to suddenly become like that?' <System: You're slowly improving, but unfortunately, you're still dumb. Where have you seen an Artificia
"Agatha, correct me if I'm wrong. But last time you told me you now have a sister, right? And that today is her first day in fourth-year junior high?" Agatha opened her eyes gently and blinked at Misty's question. It only came upon her today. She was correct. Her sister Amanda, who she presented to people as a cousin and a mountain landslide survivor from a village in the Cotton Province, was now enrolled in their school. Since both of them no longer have any remaining relatives, they would be tending to and caring for each other from now on. She enrolled this new sister of her in her school so that it would be easier for her to monitor her and help out when necessary. She remembered when she was turning in all the documents needed for Amanda's transfer to the admin, the system laughingly taunted her for being so courageous. Agatha was aware of the reason, but she told herself it would be okay because she has faith in her newly gained abilities. Recalling what took place a while ago
When lunch break arrived, Agatha didn't hesitate to pull Misty out of their building and headed towards the tenth grade's building. Many students turned their heads to them as they ran past the corridors, rooms, and cobblestone pathways. A few started chatting about them while some perverts or fanatics began to take pictures of them. However, Agatha didn't pay them any attention and Misty only shrugged at them. Agatha was quite worried for Amanda, hence, she wanted to check on her and also invite her to pass the lunchtime with her. This was the reason that she immediately ran out, she intended to fetch her sister and led her to the cafeteria."Amanda!"The wavy-haired school beauty following the fidgety nerdy laughed. They reached Amanda's room in the tenth grader building and the first thing Agatha did was charge unceremoniously to her sister who was preparing to leave her seat by that time. Good thing for her that it was lunch break, or else, it would be a very big embarrassment fo
'I'll pester Sis to send me home later, then ask to let me learn piano from Miss Cloe. I wonder if it will be all fine. Maybe I should take the time to inquire how to join her club.' Amanda giggled in excitement. When she entered the public restroom of the cafeteria, a somehow strong scent assaulted her nose. 'Disinfectant? Chlorine? Water? Urine? Ugh, the smell mixed with each other.' With a wry smile, she immediately headed to the nearest available cubicle. Unfortunately, due to haste, she didn't notice another girl who was about to collide with her shoulder. It was all too late when the collision happened and Amanda fell to the floor, the other girl staggering on her steps. An angry voice entered Amanda's ear a few seconds later. "You bitch! Don't you have eyes?" Amanda groaned in pain when she landed on her butt and let out a few whimpers. Because the flooring was quite wet, in her heart, a few complains sounded out. She raised her head to see who's the person who collided wi
