Tease Out The Truth

ZANAYA My heartbeat matched pace with the beat of the drum, but I felt like it was even stronger. Beads of sweat were forming on my forehead, and my hands were clammy as well. I’ll admit I was feeling nervous. The fate of our academy lies in our hands. It lies on whether we win in this game. This the point of no return. I always thought I would just live a normal life, not until I got into this Academy. Since then, my life was never the same. I met new friends, discovered more about my self, and learned that the world was not what I thought it was. Now, standing here in the glass tube, waiting for the signal, I feel like my heart would jump to my throat due to my nervousness. Even before the game started, the screams of the people around us can be heard. From where I stood, I could see all the players here. They have their own desires and motives. I looked at my colleagues who, like me, were also s

ZANAYA I couldn't believe I’m already enrolled in this academy. The technology in this school was truly amazing and I couldn't wait to see what else I will discover inside it. As I was on my way to the gate, I heard Ms. Dalia. "We have 499 agents, Lenz." She was talking to her fellow teacher who is called Lenz. "Ms. Dalia, I think the Head Master's brother hasn't been able to enroll yet." Upon saying that, someone approached them. He was ragged, wearing white long sleeves and pants. His hair was messy and there was a smile on his lips. "Ms. Dalia, I think you forgot about me again," he drawled. "You're on the five hundredth again, Mr. Zyfford." "Don't you want that, I've maintained being Agent 500." I could not see what happened next because a very obsti

DAVE 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Within three minutes I had finished the Simulation test. Piece of cake.I wasn't even sweating. I don’t know who developed that test, it's not difficult at all. I felt like I just wasted my time."That was impressive, Dave. You never fail to surprise me with your deducing skills," Miss Dalia complimented me."Thanks," I replied, not really minding it. I was used to people praising me everytime I solve a case, may it be a murder case, robbery, or any other crime as long as it suited my interest.The buzzer sounded to signal that the other Agents had finished their five minutes. In the glass tubes, there were tablets connected on the upper part of its door that indicated whether they have completed the test or not. In total, only four of us had “case closed” printed on the tablets. Then they were sure to enter the Sub-1 Detective Class. Others will be assessed based on the

ARYA "Kyaaah!" I cried when I saw the result of the detective section. I turned to Zanaya and shook her shoulder at the same time saying, "I can't believe this! We got into the top 5!"Seriously, I'm really so happy. I never thought I would make it into the top 5. I looked at Zanaya to greet her but there was no trace of emotion on her face. She didn't seem happy with the result.Doesn’t she like the Detective section? Doesn't she want to be with me? If that's so, I felt like I'm going to cry.I just dared to ask her, "Zan, what's the matter?"I was surprised when she suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and looked seriously into my eyes."Arya, Listen to me. I shouldn't be in the top 5.""What? I can't understand. Everyone wants to be in the top 5," I pointed out.After I said that she suddenly dragged me away. I felt like this woman was possessed by something. She wasn't like this yesterday. I think I am on the brink of death. Okay,

CHRISMy friends were already in our second class, while I was just walking along the Hallway of the Lawyer's Building because our teacher, Miss Avi had asked me to do something.I was very unfortunate because she saw me and ordered me to feed her cat. I don't know about that woman, she's so weird.When I arrived in the classroom, all my classmates were already there. Fortunately, our terror teacher, Mrs. Darlene Roque, Dave’s sister was not yet there."What took you so long?" Monica whispered."I've fixed some things," I replied, just in time before Prof. Darlene arrived."Good Morning. So your subject today is 'Enhancing Observation Skills'. I want you all to stand up and say something about Objective Observation Using Pertinent Negative. The one who can't answer, won't sit down. Clear?"We all just said yes even though it was against our will. It was just the first day and yet our brains were tortured. What more in
