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
SSHS 63 “Suspicious as it may seem, all that we can do for now is to be alert and be observant to our surroundings. As for Yulia, it may be best to assess her first, it could be just her being a scatter- brained as she is away from her family and servants who cleans up after her.” Mr. Ben said as he handed the cellphone back to Hestia after watching all of the footage for many times. The retired veteran himself did feel uncomfortable and opn edge after hearing of such activities outside the school grounds. “This is something the organisation must look further and it would also be favourable if we can add security both from the school employees and from the organisation.” He added on as he placed his fingers by his chin, supported by his either arm that was positioned in an akimbo way. After a few seconds, he let out a sigh and this caught the attention of the two junior undercover spies. “Everything is understood and noted, Agent 09. Thank you for your guidance and willingness to
SSHS 64 Hestia’s arrival at the Student Council Office was neither amusing nor entertaining at all. In fact, to her perspective, it was a complete childish and utter disaster. To see that the Montague siblings, both part of the Student Council, both excels in their fields and both are treated as a role models in the school, are fighting and bickering over a decision which involves the costume for the Halloween event which is two weeks away. If some other students, and especially the faculty staff were to see this, it would be a scene and a disappointing one at that. And that it is even more dejecting that a 3rd year— Arthur, who is also a member of the Student Council and the oldest at the room— was entertainingly watching the two fight and exchange banters back and forth, and even fanning up the flames of anger of the two by cheering them on. He even slips some annoying comments from time to time so that the fight would gradually escalate. Sighing to herself, Hestia completely op
SSHS 65 As fast as it began, the quarrel of the Montague siblings was diffused and solved on that same day, although they have not yet decided what costume to wear at the Halloween event, both have acknowledged that they still have plenty of time to decide. As for Arthur, he received a major scolding from the Vice President of the Student Council as not only did he make the situation escalate for the worse, but also did not take the initiative to stop the two from fighting. “You are even the oldest among all of us. You should know better.” Hestia said to Arthur as the latter can be seen kneeling on the floor and his hands raised as a punishment. Indeed, this sight seemed to be extra, even if Hestia has a higher position than him, it is still needed to remember the fact that Arthur is older than them. However, according to the reasoning of Hestia, “He needs to learn his lesson.” in which Damian and Excami seconded and did not protest at all. And yet, at the back of the minds of the
SSHS 66 Humming a tune to herself, she skidded through the pavement from the second building of the girl’s dorn and unto the first one as she had promised to pay a visit to a dear friend. As she skips on the road, she is also looking up, admiring the red, yellow and orange hues painted in the sky and in the clouds as it is nearing night, the sun is gradually setting and she thought to herself, ‘Might be better if I just head to the cafeteria than cook my own food. Oh my, looks like I’m getting lazy.’ She then giggled at herself because of her thoughts. Still, before heading to the cafeteria, she must head to her friend's dorm room first. Aside from the visit, she also promised to help her dear friend about a situation that her dear friend is naive about— or rather, too overthinking to think properly. Entering the lobby of the first building, she greeted the house lady with a nod and a smile, in which the lady returned. “Visiting a friend?” the lady asked, and she replied, “Yes, als
SSHS 67 They squealed with glee as they took a pick of the clothes that they had chosen. While jumping, Yulia faced Freya who was beside her and showed the photo. “Oh, my goodness, this is so cute! Just look at how they compliment each other!” Yulia exclaimed as she shoved her phone to Freya’s face due to excitement. With a yelp for pain, Freya covered her face while getting the phone from Yulia’s hand, Yulia’s force was so strong that when the phone hit her nose, iut hurt a lot. With a wince of pain, Freya looked at the photo and replied, “Yeah, it is cute. But dear, please watch your surroundings and strength. Not everyone is used to pain.” She said with a pained voice and gave back the phone still while holding her aching nose. Yulia, having realised the pain she had caused, took back the phone and profusely apologised to Freya, saying that it was an accident and would never do that again. As this happens, Hestia was quietly watching them by the bed, sitting alone with her own
SSHS 68 That night, in the midst of the girls going through the closets and drawers of Hestia to choose what she would wear for the weekend shopping, they all squealed with glee— except for Hestia who was dreading this very situation and reminds herself to endure this for the sake of the mission. “Wait, I think this blue dress would fit nicely to her. It is cooling to look at and she has a cold aura. Right, Freya?” Yulia said as she showed the blue dress and draped it in front of Hestia. It was a simple Baby Doll dress and is plain, no any sort of design at all. Once she saw how the dress indeed fits for Hestia, Freya gave a nod of approval and then showed a pair of sandals and they both squealed with glee again, as Hestia remained silent. But what the girls did not notice, is that there is a glint of light that is coming from the trees, and it does not look like a good omen at all. The clanking and clinking of crashing metals can be softly heard inside the dorm room in the boy’s
SSHS 69 Whichever city a person is, they would always describe it as bustling and always busy, with a lot of people walking in different directions. Some were walking with their own groups, talking casually to each other and sharing a laugh or two. Some were walking alone, mostly people dressed in suits or formal coats as they placed their phones right to their ears and were talking professionally to the person on the other side of their phone as they wore a serious expression on their face. And there are those who are strolling around the city as they use their leisure time to have some fun, to unwind or destress. They dress in casual and fun and colourful and season appropriate clothes as they have fun with their groups or just admire the city alone. And there are those who want to stroll throughout the city and look at various shops and see if they want something from inside. And the city is extra busy in this particular week, a lot more people are coming in and out of the shops
