August's POVMy days did not go well. All the students there are talking about me. Sometimes I want to approach them and poke them in the eyes because if they look at me, I'm like a big monster they've only seen before.I don't understand because my being a human is not a secret but it didn't spread then, or maybe those who knew were just gossips and gossips or maybe they just didn't care. But now, the conversation seems to have become the instant talk of the town, how I got into the Academy, and why I was allowed to get in the first place.Even the professors are becoming cool with me but the others are still the same. My being human is not a big deal to them. Mostly the students are afraid of me and I don't know because I don't look like a villain. They didn't know before, they didn't even doubt me because I looked normal."She is the rumored human right?""Yes she is, she looks odd.""I am afraid to go near her.""Breathing the same air with her is too much."I heard whispers aroun
August's POVA few days have passed and thank God because Cayden and Venna didn't show any signs. It seems that my words resonated with them so I stopped. My life is peaceful again. The talk about me has subsided because there are still some girls who hate me but I don't pay attention. They will die of resentment hahaha.I care about them. Am I just going to waste my neurons for them? I don't even know why they are hostile to me.~boogsh~I felt the impact of the person who bumped me. But I was not shaken. It was nothing to me after all. I looked to see who the person who bumped into me was but I just saw a guy who is so pale and even shivering looking at me."Are you okay?" I asked here because I think he is not okay. It looks like it's about to pass out."I'm sorry!" It surprised me that his eyes widened.I'm getting weird here. The bump was nothing to me. I wasn't even hurt. But it looks like he's really scared or he must be expecting that I will complain. Or maybe it's because I'm
August's POVI hold my breath every time I remember Venna. I keep regretting why I hit that girl. Why did I criticize the immaturity of that girl?I want a peaceful life but it seems the opposite is happening which is very frustrating. It's not that I'm afraid of Vienna to fight, but I don't have enough knowledge of sword fighting. And the heck, we will use a real sword and not a wooden sword which makes the situation direr.How old is that girl who uses a sword? I? It's only been a month. If it's just hand-to-hand combat, I won't have too many problems. That's why even in imagination I practice. I can't rest, knowing the one who challenges me is a member of the Royal and also a royal bitch."Oh my, why am I even swearing?" I feel like I'm crazy because I'm talking to myself. "What should I do?"I suddenly saw Yuwe passing by with a book. It didn't notice me so I didn't hesitate to call it."Jew!" I call it desperate.It immediately turned in my direction and looked for who called. Th
Cayden's POVI'm just in awe every time the girl in front of me claps. It has been rehearsing for two days but it still can't perfect everything. Not even one attack could get through me.But the weirdest thing is, I dreamed about this girl so many times already. In my first dream about her, she was a weak woman. Very fragile. But suddenly it was changed to exactly what she is right now. I don't even know why I am dreaming about this woman. I don't even like her for Pete's sake. She got this unbearable behavior and she is too noisy."Again." I just promised. As long as he doesn't get through my defense, we won't stop."Crap." He said with a gasp.I know it's exhausting. I also admire his determination to win and learn. I don't hear a single complaint from it unless it's going to flop again in an attack. I sometimes catch him scolding himself which is very amusing.I don't know but right now I know I hate her but at the same time not. Whatever the reason is I don't plan to dig over it.
August's POVI was distracted by the noise in my room. So I suddenly became alert to whatever it was. I immediately raised my eyes and immediately saw Genieva carrying something that I couldn't understand.I just rubbed my eyes and looked at the time. I want a trance. How about it, it's still early in the morning! I only slept a few hours because of my merciless training with Cayden. There were days when I only slept about four hours."Gen, what are you doing?" My head hurts while looking at him. I'm still really sleepy.He looked at me as if I had said something unbelievable."Why are you asking? It's your duel today. And I brought you your gear." It said while approaching me. "So get up girl and prepare."I was forced to get up even though I felt like the bed was still pulling me. It was as if the bed had invisible hands pulling me. I walk too groggy."God, this is so unhealthy." I just said and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I didn't stay long in the bathroom and when I cam
August's POVVenna jumped immediately but she got up immediately when my fist hit her face. It's a miracle that it's still alive today. If it's just ordinary, it's probably comatose right away!Venna didn't hold back and immediately attacked me back and I quickly dodged her kick. Even though he's fast, I'm fast too. I grew up living like this so I'm not surprised by such quick movements.I threw a punch at Venna which she quickly dodged. Until my kick hit his stomach which made him pull back and vomit blood.I was already grinning at what I saw. Blood. She's suffering from extreme pain already. I can see it in her eyes. I can already smell her fear."Come on, witch. Isn't this what you want? You want fun right?" I asked with a smile here. Isn't it just Hanep? This girl's energy is strong. Strong to challenge and now it looks like giving up."Bitch!" It was interesting to me that I grinned again."Bitch. Witch. Glitch. Itch. Sounds like right? Well, they are the adjectives that suit yo
August's POVI was released from the hospital but I was sent to a dorm here that is only for the Elite Circle. Yeah, Elite Circle that I belong to now. At first, I wondered why I could join the Elite Circle since I am not of noble blood. So I found out that the two are different. The Royals are a group of royal blood while the Elites are a group of top-ranking students in the entire academy. I don't want to accept it. After all, I didn't win because I got worse. I was hospitalized for a week while Venna recovered immediately. But the Headmaster said that Venna was the first to lose consciousness so I had no choice because I was the declared winner even though I got worse.Gen did warn me that I should pass the training because many will try to challenge me to replace me in the position. There is also a big chance that Venna will challenge me again but that will take a long time because the rule states that two people of the same age can only fight once a year. But the question is, thi
August's POVIt's all weird, I can say. I have a hard time with my new companions. How about it, you make noise when they are always in the Divisoria and every time they see me you think they see a tikbalang or a manager from their looks that I don't understand. I wondered if I was that ugly in their eyes.This is another Gen who is very happy because he says that I am getting close to the group what the fuck?! Where is the closeness there? Awkwardness is probably there! And this is another Lucas that you thought was like a leech sticking together. I'm also tired of being chased away from here and I just let it go. I don't know what trip this is like a child who doesn't know."Hey, Hulyan! Give it back to me!" Franco shouted as he ran after Jules."Ha! It sounds like your name is nice Franco boy! It sounds crazy!" Jules shouted, still not stopping running.I don't know what the two of them are fighting for but until now I am not used to their abnormality. They are always like that. De
Cayden's POVI immediately ran fast when I saw King Laurent heading towards August to stab him. I knew I could reach it so I immediately hugged August and tried to teleport but I just heard a growl from behind me. I stopped and could not move immediately."Pity, you saved your ............love, while he saved his love. My death is not for nothing after all. I may be dead, but still....... ...... I............won." I heard King Laurent promise in a weak voice. I heard that someone fell and someone followed."August!" Gen. screamed in disgust. I saw that Gen tried to run but Lucas stopped him.My body suddenly felt cold. Something suddenly entered my mind and I was filled with fear when I did not see him in Gen's group."Oh my god..." August also gasped, now looking behind me.I couldn't stop myself and immediately turned to see what was happening. Horror filled my body when I saw August..... my August..... the sword was stuck in his stomach to his back. I felt like the world suddenly s
August's POVMy eyes were trained to a certain point where the chaos is going on. Neither of us moved in shock. My eyes were now looking at a figure that stood out from the monsters. He has a red cape and a crown but he doesn't look human. I already have an idea who it is, and the fact that I have an idea of who it is makes me nervous.That thing is the king of Orcs. King Laurent. He is riding a war carriage that instead of a horse is pulled by two hellhounds. He looks demonic and terrifies me every time I stare at King Laurent's face."Hahahahahahahaha!" King Laurent laughed as he approached us. I felt like I wanted to retreat but I stopped myself, but my instinct is screaming that he is dangerous! I know that I am not capable of fighting it either. "You manage to somehow, defeat my frontline.." he said with a smile and I looked away because I can't stand the look of King Laurent."Your Orcs are weak," Lucas said looking intently at King Laurent."Hahahahaha! Pity. Do you even stil
August's POVI was terrified as I looked at the towering entrance of the Academy. A deafening sound was coming from here because of the loud banging of the orcs. I don't know what they use to do that. Wood or their body itself? I do not know."The barrier won't last if they keep bumping," Kaye said the worry on his face was obvious."I know. No matter how strong the foundation is, it can still be torn apart by desperate orcs." I said that there was a lot of tension. That's right, what's the difference between beautiful and desperate flirting? hahaBut before the others could react, the barrier suddenly rattled and creaked loudly as it fell and created a deafening noise and thick dust.I closed my eyes because I almost fell asleep. Angel Grace immediately intervened and created a shield so that we would not continue to be hit by the sleeping dust because the orcs might attack while we were closing our eyes. Maybe we will lose right away from the start of the match.I slowly opened my e
August's POVI try to avoid them all. I stayed in my room or I went out and hung out in every part of the Academy. Library in the corner of the laboratory or the maze garden. I also take out food. I don't want to eat in the pantry because I will only see them there too. I am also eating in the room.I am now in my room. I plan to go to the library. There is no class. I just thank you. I need to check some books in the restricted section. I have access to that because I'm an Elite. Weird, I still have the position even though the real August is back. But what is his right? I was the one who earned this position and he was not. I defeated Venna with my skill so he has no right to do this to me, I will hit his face.I left the room and unfortunately they were all downstairs as if they were waiting for someone. I walked held high but I wasn't looking at them. They sounded so happy and I was irritated because of that."August, we have a mission. Let's go." Franco's voice said.I do not car
August's POVI'm making my bed because now I can get out of the hospital. I still felt sullen that Gen didn't even visit. How busy are they? I didn't even hear any news from them. Or maybe because I am useless to them since I got injured. That thought makes me sad."August! The Elites are home!" Alice screamed rushing into the room.I smiled here. I did not feel any excitement at all because the sullenness was more dominant."Okay." I just answered here and fixed myself. Sometimes this Alice is also insensitive.Alice noticed that I was not in the mood so she didn't sculpt me. She's the only one who stayed by my side when I needed help. I don't remember anyone who went to visit me or even said hello if I was okay or if I was still alive. And now, she's saying they are back. I completely understand that they went on a mission but why do I still feel this way? I tried to shrug it off from my mind and started to think positively. Maybe this is just an effect of my near-death experience.
August's POV"Misha! Is this true? I'm back?" I can hardly believe the question. As far as I remember, I was still in Pandora and wounded."Yes, August... good and you're back. We've been looking for you for a long time." Misha started crying."I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was going to be taken to another planet," I said with a snort. But to be honest, I'm happy because I'm finally home. I don't belong there anyway."I wish you took me with you! Do you know how hard life is here without you? I can hardly leave the house. Gangsters are waiting outside the school because they are looking for you. Even your underlings, another group." It's a complaint again."Tss, yes. But did I know that I was going to go there? If only I had known, I wouldn't have told you to have a picnic there." I promise I'm pissed off here.I'm jealous that I can go home. I just didn't think I was back home. I thought, I will die there in Tierrabithea Tribe but it seems not because here I am, alive and well."Bu
August's POVMy surroundings almost beat our school grounds because of the cleanliness. I'm not even sure what's going to happen, as long as I'm hot-headed I want to step on it so I piled my annoyance on the dry leaves and kicked them.My anger has gathered. First, doing a mission without any concrete plans. Second, we are looking for something that we don't even have any idea what it is. There are no even clues, no evidence gathered. Then I'm the type of person who will rush if there is information gathered. Do you think I won't explode? How many times have I complained inside my brain? I tried not to complain because I know that they have their way but it was just too much. We still beat the newbies.I looked at the relatively small trees compared to the others. What happened to them? Why did they fall? I tried to remember if it had fallen before I arrived. But I really can't imagine! I'm not sure. But maybe it fell before I came because I didn't come near them."When can I go home?
August's POVI didn't know how I was able to sleep last night. Last night was a nightmare. We didn't do anything but just sit and wait for those ghosts to fade away and their screeching scream is nerve-wracking. I bet, I already have another set of bags under my eyes.I came out of the tent and I saw everyone how busy they were. But I was stopped by the wild grumbling in my stomach. That's right, I couldn't even eat last night even though I was hungry. Who would feel hungry if you are surrounded by ghosts? There was food but I couldn't force myself to eat. It's hard for me. My fear of ghosts is way more than my hunger.Suddenly my mouth watered when I smelled grilled fish. I immediately followed the smell as if my feet had a mind of their own and my instinct knew where the smell was coming from. And there I saw my group they are in a circle and grilling with a man-made bonfire."Hey, it's good that you're awake. This is almost done and we can eat." Gen. happily promised.I snorted. "I
August's POVThe ringing that we heard disappeared when we reached what looked like a stone ruin with vines. But we hardly moved at the same time when someone focused on our eyes. Immediately we saw the tribes with black faces. Is the clay mask a trend for them? But it can't be a clay mask because I know it's not. It's like slapping their face with a caldera's ass."Foreigners! What's your purpose and have you strayed into our territory?!" Boldly asked a big man who was just carrying a spear and if any wrong move we would make, he would throw the spear at us.I can't speak! I seem to be stoned to where I stand. We might be strong be we are outnumbered. I am hesitating if I have to move or not. But I was about to move and jump when someone stopped me. I immediately turned around and immediately saw Cayden looking at me and he shook his head a little, giving me a signal not to do whatever I am planning to do.I gritted my teeth. We are obviously in a very dangerous situation. Those like
