The food was ready so I was not surprised to see them floating. I still can’t help but be amazed, I’m used to seeing other people besides my district so I’m really a bit amazed at the traits of other districts.
After we ate, a faculty followed us. He said that it’s our first class and it’s on station 1. I saw the men laughing. And then I saw a girl maybe a freshman too who tried to take off her dress because the wind was blowing. It’s not windy today, is it? It was there that I realized that the man from our district was working then. He’s manipulating the wind. I was chosen. So this is the reason why we can’t wear dress. People here are assholes.“Will the faculty do nothing?”I asked Larissa the woman earlier.He shook his head. “You’ll find out maybe later too.”I could have done nothing but nod. This school is really something. It’s strict but sometimes I don’t understand.We arrived at a classroom full of butterflies. But they also left as soon as they saw us. They are really beautiful.There are also vines here inside and only a few chairs and tables. The room is big, so why are there only a few chairs?“Good morning class, I’m Miss Annabeth and I’m going to explain to you the rules and regulations of the school.”A woman suddenly appeared in front of us. Unlike us students, she’s wearing a beautiful green dress and that she looks like a fairy. There is also a flower on his head that serves as a crown.“But before that, please step forward everyone from district four.”We were only twenty so three stepped forward including Rio.“Now I wanted you to lift the fifty percent of your class including yourself.”I screamed and I would be pulled too! I didn’t want to feel like I was going to die of nervousness so I looked at Rio who was lifting me. I was trying to communicate with him through eyes so he just ignored me. What else can I expect from him.Some time later suddenly there were chairs floating around. And I saw Hela outside. She waved at me, I smiled at her.“Now everybody please be seated. You three will not let them fall if I do not bring you down on this subject. “She smiled at the three as if she didn’t just threaten them.This might be the second reason why the dress is forbidden. The people here are very adventurous or they are just mischievous.I looked down and wished I was just there. Larissa was downstairs and waved. I can’t waved back because I feel like I’m gonna be sick. I’m afraid of heights especially now that we’re floating. Looks like maybe I’m constipated now. Fortunately we were on top and I couldn’t see our faces.“There aren’t that many rules in the academy but you just have to make sure you do everything you can to avoid being punished.”Introduction by Miss Anna.“First is you should be at your table in the dining area for the whole school year unless it’s weekend That’s the only day you can be with other students. To socialize. The academy isn”t just your school now it’s also your second home. “Many nodded because it was really true.“Now get the book under your seats and read. You can now go out. “That’s all he said and left. That’s a miss ?! What good are teachers if they don’t teach? But I’m also used to teaching myself. The one at the bottom has already left and I’m still waiting for the d4 guy to take us down, but it’s too late.“Can you take us down?” Impatient, I told them.They tss and let us down. We saw again the faculty who delivered us and he brought us closer to him.“Your next class is later after lunch. But please read that the book will only be lent until today. You’ll be having a quiz tomorrow. Good luck Iliadens. “He turned around and went to the faculty room.I thought of going home to the dorm first and getting wet there.Rules1. All students shall obey what the faculty must be say if don’t will be punished.2. All students are required to eat in the dining hall every breakfast. If late and can’t come will be punished unless have a valid reasons.3. All students shall control their traits and if abused will be thrown out of the academy.4. Students can’t touch the restricted books in the library.I saw a note on the chin. Of course you can touch the book, just don’t give up-miss AMust have been Miss Annabeth she’s really cool. I wonder which district he came from.I’ve read a lot and it’s almost useless so maybe I don’t have anything to worry about. I guess my only problem is that you combine women and men.Just like there in our dorm. It’s eight floors and I’m on the top floor. But downstairs we were men. My cousin is there. In other words.And since I finished reading I thought of going to the training grounds at station 2.I saw my cousin and Hela there. They are both seniors so they are already training. I heard that they will be sent on missions in the next few months. I’m comfortable that my cousin won’t be harmed, we’re used to fighting.The clock rang in the dining hall so everyone stopped. Five minutes before lunch starts. No one will be punished because it’s not breakfast so no one panics too much.I just thought of going there to eat.I found Rio sitting alone, reading again. I wonder what he’s reading he seems to be engrossed with it. He doesn’t seem to care about the world. Maybe if an arrow rained down on us he would still read. His boring included.I relaxed when Larissa arrived. It’s a good thing I know someone.“The thickness of the book is bad isn’t it? I fell asleep while reading. “I looked at that book. It’s not too thick, just right.“Yeah.” That’s all I answered because they might say I’m arrogant.Larissa managed to change the atmosphere with her silly jokes. He always joins me. So I’m just laughing too.We walked to the training ground at station 2. Just getting there was tiring. What if your training has already started? We might kill you tired.When we got there was no teacher so I sat down first. I was just surprised when I suddenly floated. I immediately turned my chin and saw a woman lifting me. I couldn’t see her face but I know who exactly she is.You turned my body and went down. Then I rushed her but she was able to dodge it. She then kicked my stomach causing me to fall on the floor. I’m just going to eat! We were already on the floor and rumbling as I pinched his neck.“Good job miss, I’m so glad that you learned something from me.”I smiled at her and let go of her. Her name is Shekina my former training buddy. I held out my hand to him and he immediately accepted.When I looked at my classmates, almost all of them were gaping. I even saw Rio the same, he was staring at me I raised an eyebrow at him so he avoided. Pfft pussy.“Lesson number one always pay
Dinner came but I don't feel like walking and eating so I chose not to go to the dining hall. I can't be punished for not having breakfast. But I might just die of hunger too. I'm not used to being hungry. Even if I train so hard before then I can eat.So this feels different. It's really different here in the academy. No one will serve you. You only have yourself. At least at home I was with someone.I sighed.I got up in the bed to hear the knock. It's not Hela because she doesn't knock that way.I opened it and what I was looking at was a floating food tray.‘If you don't want to collect again eat this.’My eyebrows were raised. He even sent me food but he's still insulting me. Damn Rio. Tsk he could have done it to me personally and he chose to use his trait to deliver the food.I couldn't do anything, and just eat what he gave. I wish there was no poison.He was right if I didn't want to collapse again I shouldn't miss eating. We need a strong stamina fo
Ma'am returned that afternoon. Someone delivered our food. Or should I say there is floating food again. That's your forte people here. Flying food."Does everyone knows how to swim already?" she smiled. Others of my classmates were thrilled. We were soaked in water eh.No one answered her."Okay let's test if you learn anything. Everyone goes to the river and if everyone should get to that red flag." She pointed the red flag a little further.I looked at my partner and so did I. We smirked. We immediately advanced to the water and began to swim.After a few minutes we reached the red flag. There is a big rock there that we can stand for. Miss clapped at us and signaled that we could go home.Thank god, we'll be fine too.And because there was a bridge in the part, we went there."You're a fast learner." I smirked. "Or maybe you' really know how in the first place?"he added. Instead of being annoyed I just laughed at him and shrugged. I no longer care of what
The academy is busy. The students are busy choosing what to wear while the faculties are busy decorating the area. It seems to me that this isn't just a welcoming ball it feels like they have an important visitor. I shrugged maybe this is how they prepare.Some male students are asking the girls. The men had a surprised prepared. It seems to me that they're asking the girl to be their girlfriend than to be ball's date. If I Rio asked me in the same way, I might have agreed.His way of asking me seems to be forced.Some time later a man suddenly approached me."Uh ... hi! Iris right?" he asked with one hand on the other. "Yes.""Can you go to the ball with me?" he said a little bit hopeful. He's a junior I know that.I tapped him on the shoulder. "I'll think about it." He nodded and suddenly blushed.He is handsome and tall. That's why I don't seem to want to. Let me choose first. Either him or Rio. Well, it's just like a quiz. Maybe I'll just teach. Never mind.
I woke up with someone shaking me. "What?" I mumbled and covered myself with the blanket. He moved the blanket again."Hela... it's so early give me a break.""It's twelve o'clock at noon." Instead of Hela's voice I heard Rio's voice.I looked at him."What are you doing here?""Fetching you.""Why?""You should eat. You're asleep for thirteen hours. I'm sure you're hungry." He suddenly pulled me away.Close kami close?"I am so tired pa. And my head is spinning!" He patted my forehead. "That's because you're oversleep."I pouted. "I know." I suddenly raised my hand."Carry me?" like a child I said. He suddenly laughed. "You're so cute." He mumbled."What did you say?"He suddenly became serious. "No. If you don't want to starve follow me."And because I am stubborn I didn't follow him and just covered up again.I was just shocked and suddenly I floated. Using his trait, he brought me to him.He looked pissed so I laugh at him. He sudd
We entered the vines that were made like tunnels. When we entered, we were immediately looked at."Is that Iris? That freshman is nice.""Omg! He dates papa Maven!""Did I think Rio was her boyfriend? Why is Maven your date?"What else were they saying but I ignored them and we went straight to our table. They are already there. Aaron immediately raised an eyebrow at me so I immediately stared at him.I turned to Rio and my classmate Janella with him. Our eyes met and I stared at him. Not known ah? There is still Janella who she still knows."Is that the grand entrance, Iris?" Uno asked with a laugh so Mnemo pinched him. I also glared at him."Why is Iris's high blood we have now?" my cousin suddenly put his arm around me. He was really annoying. The pleasure of his eyes.Instead of answering him I introduced them to Maven. "Guys, this is Maven. Maven that's Aaron my cousin, Hela my roommate, Mnemo and Uno they're my friends. And that's Rio and his date."
The ball ended well as I bid farewell to my father. Maybe next year I'll see him again. His schedule is so busy that he doesn't have time for me. Running the council is hard especially if you don't have someone who supports you along the way.I was also once my father's hater. There were many rumors about him. That he was doing something very bad. But I doubt that my dad's a very hardworking man he won't do anything reckless to lose the position that he got right now. He was just following the law.I just locked myself in my room all weekend. I heard on Monday that we will be showing our traits. Of course Shekina is still our teacher.Hela isn't around though, I'm starting to be convinced that he moved to another room because he doesn't want me. Or maybe they're too busy with the training again that they can't even sleep a wink.And now I am starting to worry if the same fate happens to me once I become a senior. But isn't it the goal? To become a senior? So I will be ab
"Valerio Addison."Rio was bored walking towards the center. He looks like a fool. I thought he's gonna destroy something again but he just lift himself and that's all.Our classmates looked disappointed in what she did but Shekina just laughed. Hmmm ... something's fishy. I wonder what.I was the last to be called. And I can feel their fucking eyes again. If I just kidnap you?I didn't bother to go to the center because they themselves moved away from me."She if this place will be destroyed it will be replace tomorrow yes?" I asked her. She suddenly grinned. Okay. Let the show begin.I closed my eyes and waited for my body to warm up. I heard my classmates sigh and when I woke up I knew my eyes were a different color and I was surrounded by fire.I started to throw fires until it became a lot. I made wings that are made of fire and go above. I, then started to absorb the fire that I created. My father always told me to clean my mess so I won't mess up. Lol. Th
Rio's POV When you want something, you do anything to get it. When you want to protect someone, you'd do anything to do it. Life is a gamble, sometimes we and sometimes we lose. And in my case, I lost in the gamble of life. I lost the woman that I love without even showcasing what I truly feel towards her. I don’t know what really happened to him.That day, he suddenly disappeared and I didn't even know what really happened to him. Is she dead? Is she coming back? I don't know.
After the exchange of sharp words between Aaron and Rio the traitor left as well.Unbelievably, maybe I should admit that there are things we really don't expect to happen.Just like my cousin, I thought he was loyal to us, to his family but he just seemed to be honest with himself.I no longer knew what to say to her mom.Her husband is dead and her son helped the king to kill him. I couldn’t help but gasp. The next day I woke up to a loud explosion above."What's that, Rio?"I asked nervously.Maybe they did something bad to my father. "Something's happening." "What is that?" Later something exploded again.I also heard as if someone was shouting."Could it be that it's them?" Rio could not answer my question.He may also be unaware of whatever is going on. If before there was an
I woke up with a shake of my shoulder.I was immediately grabbed by my head because of the pain.When I opened my eyes Rio exposed himself to me, worried."You're still bleeding," he commented.I grabbed my forehead and felt the hot liquid.Tsk."Where are we?""In the dungeon."I looked around and he was right.We're in the dungeon.Somewhere beneath the ground."They gave us until tomorrow sundown to surrender the stone. If you don't hand it they will take you father's life." So it's still not over huh?"Where's Angel and Jax?"I asked him."They managed to escape but they only got two trait stones. Aaron stopped them from getting the other two."Tears welled up in my eyes as he mentioned my cousin's name.My friend is a traitor. My cousin is a traitor and lastly my un
I felt the pain in my stomach.I can see nothing but blood.Blood kept flowing from my stomach.And there's also blood in my mouth.I was depressed, and I wasn’t even shocked that I spit blood. "Iris!"my friends shout at me.I can't even looked at them. Later Jade drew the sword so I got on my knees. I heard Vale's footsteps towards me.He cupped my face."You lost Franchesca, why don't you hand me the stone?" I spat at him."Never." He grabbed her face.He looks mad."Then I guess your father's
"So this is the problem Uno's talking about huh?" Jax commented while looking at Jade."I didn't know that some snake is already crawling behind our backs." Rio added.But Jade doesn't seem to care. Instead she smiled sweetly at the two. "Oh boys! I enjoyed being with you! Especially since you're so ignorant of what's going on!""You're crazy." Jax hissed."I have a lot of fun!" Jade said excitedly. It makes me wanna pull her hair. Damn, traitor.The king spoke again. "You see, Jade has ambitions. And that is to become powerful by influence. So she agreed to be my eye in the academy so that he can marry my son Vince and become the queen."I looked at Jade in shock. "And here I thought you were content with what you have now." No emotion if promised to him."Oh come on Iris, everybody dreams! It's just a coincidence that her dreams are lofty." That's when I lost control. I attacked the king with my traits but Jade quickly blocked the attack using th
I should have just woken up and gone down the tree.I was so shocked to see Rio wide awake. Did he sleep? just woke up?I wanted to ask him but my pride won't let me. After what he did in Avalon's place, it feels like he's not the Rio that I used to know.Even if Rio is a bit harsh, he would at least explain to me what the hell is happening. But instead he chose to mock me and be mum.Jax and Angel are hugging each other. They are still fine and have no problems.I sighed. I'm about to step on Angel when Rio speaks."Why didn't you tell me? Don't you trust me?" he asked. Difficult.I turned to him. "I was about to tell you but Aaron interfered. He said something very disturbing. I can't trust you."He laughed heartily. "You really think that I'll betray you? Especially now that you know who I am?""Oh, come on! You didn't tell me who you are either!" I scolded him."Because it's not important at all!""Then your father being the
It was night when I arrived at station 5 without anyone noticing. And even more annoying is that I can’t find what I’m looking for.The mystical dragon.He resides here.I wonder if he's still here up until now.I went to where we had found the dragon before but I didn’t even see a shadow.He's big and yet I can't see him.There I remembered that it might have been in a cave.I started walking again. I use my fire as a light. It is still a forest where wild animals live.When I entered the cave, the smelling masses immediately greeted me.No wonder, he's here.I looked up to him and to find out that he's sleeping.We're already friends so -"What are you doing here?" I tried to look back at who was speaking but I realized I had no one else with me so I looked at the dragon again."I said, what are you doing here?" there that wrinkled my forehead. Do I have anyone else with me here?"Hey! What's t
We are now passing through a narrow road. The headmaster said that we're heading to a bunker. We did not know that such a thing existed. At each corner there is only a small bulb that serves as a light.Finally someone opened the headmaster and exposed us to the hundreds of wounded.I covered my mouth. Something else is just as delicate.The headmaster addressed us."We've been attacked by the king, now I know who our opponent is."He took a deep breath. I can say that he is very tired."What are you going to do with the corpses outside?"The headmaster sat down and wiped his face. "I don't know, what does it look like I'm going to present to their parents?"We were stunned. "So, the people don't know yet?"Shake it. "Apart from the rebels there are none. We're glad that they came so somehow the students aren't exhausted."Suddenly sir Grand approached us. "We were attacked last night, they are seeking for the district 5 stone but ho
Avalon let us stay for the night. But tomorrow we will also leave. Now that we finally know who abducted my father and what has happened to the stone. We can save it now.I didn't let them talk to me the entire night. I have nothing to tell them yet. How can I tell them that my cousin just said it because there's a traitor in them? How can I tell them that? To my friends?I also couldn’t believe what he said. I can't believe I was a descendant of a king. If he wasn’t stripped off his title, I might be a princess now.But that doesn't matter anymore.The next day at the table while eating we were quietly empty. We could only hear the sound of the spoon."You can leave now." Avalon said.We wasted no more time and stood up. We still had to tell the headmater what we found out."But how can we go back?" Angel asked."I'm sure the prince will show you the way."We all looked at Avalon and were shocked."What the hell are you
