Hestia was uncertain of what to do next. Aside from the fatigue and the stress that she has gone through for the day, and remembering that she must submit her report in regards to the incident a while ago, she was being tempted to decline from the offer of the Don Brook couple. And yet, there is a great urge inside of her to actually stay with the sleeping girl still inside the car, the peacefully sleeping Yulia who was still out and has no knowing of what happened and how it almost took her life, Hestia has the great urge to protect her, even if she is with her parents now; Hestia cannot be sure if her parents actually means the best for their precious daughter or if they are blinded by such experiences and traumas that they fail to notice the kind of damage they are inflicting to their daughter. Nevertheless, she was sure that her parents would just ask the host of the party to lend them a guest
SSHS 55 Inside the third floor of the ISO headquarters, footsteps are rampant and are too many to count. Each step were all in a hurry and all in large steps, and that it was joined by the constant short ‘sorry’’ and ‘excuse me’s’; all the while that it was accompanied by the fluttering of the papers, the jingles of a bunch of flash drives and the clashings of the CDs. Everyone was in a hurry, taking it seriously that everything they are carrying is to be delivered by the biggest meeting room on the floor before the meeting starts— even before the participants in such a meeting arrive. It is a new meeting, a meeting of great importance for the ISO agents and department heads. Although, it is undoubtedly that the main concern for such a meeting is about the safety of Yulia Don Brook, there is a breakthrough.
SSHS 56 Due to the construction of the dorms, the La Florence Academy had stopped catering to the request of popular people to host an event to their school, and now would refuse such requests in order to prioritise the construction of the dorms in a fast pace. Even though hosting such event would bring them benefits like: families wanting to enter their children to the academy and funds coming from the payment of the people for hosting the event on such a prestigious school, the La Florence Academy do have to prioritise the well being of the students and what could be of ease to their school life, hence, the dorms. The construction itself did not pose so much of a problem to the students as the dorms were placed at the far west and east side of the school grounds (the west for the boys and the east side for the girls), and since it was far from the subject bu
SSHS 57 It was still early in the morning, just barely 7 am and the Occult Club was already inside the Student Council Office. if it was not for Hestia being early to the office— since she is in the dorms, so it was far more easier for her to access the buildings and that she was always the first to arrive at the office— she was able to welcome the members of the Occult Cub ‘warmly’. “The other Student Council members will be here soon, for the time being, please enjoy yourselves with the tea and snacks.” Hestia said, as warmly as she could, even if her voice emits the coldness of the North Pole. But the Occult Club members did not bother, they already knew of the behavior, mannerism and attitude of the esteemed ‘Ice Queen’ and the Vice President of the Student Council. As Hestia went outside of the office for a bit to contact her other members, they used this opportunity to scan the whole place. To the eyes of the Occult Club, it really is prestigiou opportunity to be part of the S
SSHS 58 The meeting was long, and that it ended right after the third morning period. Still, it was productive from the perspective of both sides. And with that, they ended the meeting with a, “It was good to see you again, Damian. It was the right decision for me to persuade you into running as a Student Council President. You are doing well.” Said Lu as he gives a firm handshake to his supposed ‘junior’ but he prefers to call Damian his ‘legacy’. Still, both presidents are humble with each other as they often laugh and share a brief exchange when they meet outside of the school. Damian laughed at this and replied, “I should be the one to thank you. Everything I know about Student Council came from you. If not for your great teaching skills, I would’ve made a mess of myself.” He chuckled a little and rubbed his nape with his other hand. True enough, Damian is humble when in the presence of Lu. If considering the honorifics, he would call Lu his ‘master’ as indeed, everything that
SSHS 59 Watching the mouse look around so nervously as they roam around the room of Yulia. So careful with the steps that in their pretty little minds, a single creak of the floor would alert the cat and that would be the end of it. Although the person roaming around the room of Yulia was seemingly familiar to Hestia’s eyes, she never dared to rack her brain and see if she knew this person. She was too thrilled to finally have something happen after those days of silence. It can be excitement in her that makes her react this way in this kind of situation, or that she is just hungry for some action that she has been craving for. ‘Could it be that I am addicted to those kinds of things? That I experience no action would cause me to render in this state?’ Hestia thought to herself as she regained some rationality in her. This is bizarre and it is the first time that this has happened, it is a new field that she is not familiar with— and treading carefully is needed if she wants to ge
SSHS 60 The first week of October has come to an end, most of the students are done unpacking their belongings and adjusting to the life inside the dorms and inside the school grounds. Although most of the needs of the students are provided inside the school, some still prefer to walk by the pavements of the city and indulge into their desire of whatever it is. Meanwhile, the Occult Club and the Student Council had held two more meetings before ending the 1st week of October to finalise the planning of the Halloween event. “I can’t wait for this to happen. we could add so much props and checkpoints since there is a new area open!” Lucifer exclaimed as he was really excited about the event. He even wanted to get permission from the Dean to also use the wood area, but a limit must still be set. as for the Student Council, it can be said that the work flow was more swift and efficient now that all of them are together in one room, working. however, a little conflict arose from that
SSHS 61 Inside the grounds of La Florence Academy, there are multiple facilities and buildings that will ensure that everything is considered and taken care of. One example of this is that the La Florence Academy has a total of five gymnasiums inside its grounds. One is the Grand Gymnasium where most of the events are hosted and occurs— the Grand Gymnasium, aside from being a venue for events, it is where the inter school games are also being held. Whether it be about athletic ones like basketball and volleyball; or in terms of academic one like chess, grand quiz bees and the likes— however it is famous for being applicable for hosting events. Next is the Gymnasium One where athletes, especially groups conduct their practices. It is far smaller compared to the Grand Gymnasium but is still suitable and can hold two teams for practice. For example: the cheering squad of Freya, it is in the Gym One that they frequent their practices, training and drills. Indeed, they also execute the
SSHS 62 “At ease everyone, Mr. Ben and I are just visiting to see how the progress goes. Is there anything that the Occult club still needs to make this event turn into the reality of their vision?” Dean Malcolm stated. his gruff and deep tone of voice ringing and echoing throughout the theatre. With just his voice, it is evident how authoritative he is, and that he must be respected and obeyed. He is indeed the complete opposite of Mr. Ben who was ever so calm and soft, that people just tend to warm up and open up to him with ease. Dean Malcolm is that strict and everything in order, while Mr. Ben felt like a safe haven to the many who had met and interacted with him. Still, both must be treated with respect. with a slight bow, Lucifer replied, “As of the moment, the Occult Club has ever help that it could get, and it is all thanks to you, Dean Malcolm and also the help of Mr. Ben for letting us borrow your force of staff. and also from the participation and help of the Student
