"20th" Said Frea as she placed black coffee in front of Gabriel, she eyed her as she took the seat, next to the fifth pillar. When Frea gave her exact same glare, Gabriel finally thought of speaking up, "Look, these quite a few days I have not heard from Shea or Orlee and trust me, it is giving me a headache more than I have ever thought. These two people are the ones I least want to think."
Frea gave a distasted look as she said, "Few days? She has not come back for two weeks now. Girl, you spoke the words to her, and it was only Shea who took that much, maybe because she is weak. If it had been anyone else they must have replied you, tearing your ego apart."
Gabriel just sighed at her antics replying, "I agree I am wrong but still! And Orlee, what is she up to? I am really done thinking about her. "
Before Frea could reply anything they heard someone calling them, "Gabby!"
Both the girls sighed in unison, "Ariel..."
As she approached them they showed off being busy but Ariel said, "Don't pretend, we have more important news than this."
Frea raised her brow and Ariel continued, "Orlee. Do you know what she did?"
This caught Gabriel's attention as she turned to her asking, "Tell me it's not something insane again?"
Ariel rolled her eyes, "What else you expect from a psychopath? Anyway, the news is, Orlee persuade the principal to rearrange the pillars."
As they heard the news their throat dried and mouth fell to the floor making their eyes as huge as saucers. Gabriel whispered more to herself, "This can't be..."
But Ariel heard and nodded saying, "Its happening babe. I don't know about you but I am really curious."
Gabriel looked at Frea with worried eyes and Frea indicated her to keep quiet. Without thinking anything Frea grabbed Gabriel and sent a meeting message to everyone.
She walked outta the canteen dragging a shocked Gabriel and for Ariel, she pushed her back to the canteen while excusing with the meeting. As they reached the meeting room they saw everyone already reached there.
As they entered Irkan asked, "What's so urgent? I was having my lunch."
Frea only rolled her eyes as she took her seat and Gabriel hers. Frea being leader said, "Orlee."
Lucious was better than before as he asked, "Don't tell me she again pulled earth outta our feet."
Frea nodded as she spoke, "She is having pillars arranged."
Gasps were heard from everyone and she continued, "The bad is not matches, it's the transfer students."
Irkan slammed his hand with a loud bang on the table saying, "This girl! She always pulls off something! But wait, how are we affected by new students."
Frea pointed to the Mingyo as she stood up understanding her and spoke in her usual soft low voice, "Orlee wants to beat every single one of us. She didn't want to renew the positions, she knows we gonna win in the end. She just wants to claim what's her again."
Irkan asked, "What's hers?"
Mingyo replied in a cold voice, "Loona, she wants to claim the Loona again. She wants to dominate the whole university again."
Lucious asked, "H-How are we supposed to stop her?"
Everyone gave him a confused look as he said, "Look, she is a pure bitch, we need to stop her or else she gonna beat each and every one of us, badly. You know how she is. Do you want the past to be repeated?"
They all shook their head respectively as Gabriel spoke, "He is right, we need to stop her. Since the problem is my creation I will end it as well."
Irkan gave her a confused look and she said, "I will apologies to her."
Lucious added, "Don't tell me you have lost your mind completely. First, you provoked her. We get that was your anger, but this? This is pure foolishness. Asking for forgiveness from death is better than from hers. She is the most ruthless."
Gabriel sighed, "I know...but this can't be ignored anymore. I doubt she knows about the new students."
Frea added, "What if they thought of participating too?"
At her statement the tension became visible, but Irkan said, "I doubt they would. As for the white-haired, I guess he can, but Kaal, he was least interested in school, let alone in matches."
Gabriel nodded saying, "I agree, Kaal was mostly bored in our tour. Hell, he would be least interested in participating in matches or anything."
Whistle everyone nodded in agreement, Frea said, "Don't underestimate what he did to Lucious. He didn't even move his hands. Even if he's not interested in school and stuff he's still a danger to all of us. Plus I doubt he's stronger than Orlee."
Her statement made an understanding to the very end, but Lucious said with complete venom in his voice, "It doesn't matter, both of them are too dangerous to be around. I would rather advise to eliminate them."
Irkan only smirked as he launched, "Why not try yourself. After all, you are experienced better than any of us." At this, Lucious went down, as fear grasped him visibly. Irkan felt a pang of guilt plunging his heart as he saw Lucious tremble in fear, but what Lucious said next made him think otherwise, he was calmed enough as his voice came out low and raspy, "At least I could withstand them, you all better think about what you gonna do about it."
With that said, he stood up and went out of the room without another word and no one dare stop him. Frea added, "So, how many of you are unto the mission of making all this stop?"
She looked at everyone: Chungyong who sat there, thinking, whose expression followed by Mingyo, while Irkan said, "I am with you."
Frea smiled happily at him and Gabriel was more than ever ready for this as she said, "You know my answer." She nodded understanding that it was obvious. She finally broke two kids out of their thoughts, "What about you two, Chungyong? Mingyo?"
He looked up from his desk and he said in his soft voice, "I will pass."
Before Gabriel could even protest, which was her immediate action, Mingyo added, "I am with you too." Frea frowningly asked, "I understand and respect your decision, but can you please give us any explanation?"
At this Chungyong added, "I am sorry, Frea. But I think Orlee and Kaal and all this matter is far from my concern and I have taken the seat as the third pillar in this school, only because I ended at this."
Everyone knew how dedicated Chungyong was to basically anything he does. He had this habit of always doing his best, as his ideology said, "Dedication is the way to creation and the creator can be born only when it has the dedication to its creation."
Chungyong may seem like a kid with his five seven and lean attire, but sure he was way more than being a kid. At the age of five, he had his first book published about eternal happiness, which he claimed to carry within him. He was also great at understanding the complex biological structures of the universe and he had many books published about the biology and the energy of the universe. He was the one to be considered as a child genius. Though his attire was different than any other, giving his natural blue coloured hair and eyes a stand out among the crowd.
Everyone knew once Chungyong said something, it wouldn't change for him anyway, because if he wanted to change he would have never said it anyway. Yet again, he had a quality of speaking only once in a while, but whenever he does it's his final words. So they took his words as final and they all looked at Mingyo for her explanation. Feeling so many eyes on her Mingyo suddenly felt heated, as her cheeks turned red.
But soon she shrugged it, replying, "Orlee and Kaal are of a different level than ours. Even if fought against them all together, even with a single one, we are bound to be defeated. Orlee has never shown us any of her powers, not even when she would fight with us. And for Kaal, we still don't know what those tentacles are."
Chungyong interrupted her with, "Now if I think about it, I guess maybe I have an idea about them." Frea added, "So, what are you waiting for? Do your YONG business and spill the tea like always." He cringed at word yong-business which he felt more of a taunt for his intelligence, but let it slide this time, saying, "I guess it was a dark matter."
Gabriel frowned asking, "Wait, are you trying to say, Kaal had adopted his mother's powers?"
Chungyong nodded, but Frea added, "I don't think so. Because Dark matter is contained in dark stone and the power of Dark stone can be handled by only his holder, which currently is Queen Anika. Plus I have heard that if two holders remain in the same universe their lives will fight each other to win over and one of them had to die. But Kaal wanders so freely, so, I can't think of him being a holder."
Gabriel agreed, saying, "This is what I have heard too. But if not dark stone, what could his powers be?"
Chungyong said, "If I think about back then when those tentacles came out of the ground, I felt an unknown energy."
Mingyo added, "I felt that too." Mingyo has always been the topper of elementals of the whole school. She had been just a point before losing it to Orlee in the test. She had the best energy reading capacity, again after Orlee, the girl (Orlee) seemed to have every power in the universe. Mingyo looked down, shying away, her two high ponytails draping over her shoulder. Her purple hair has always been a show to go with, plus her small figure has always made her prey to many lustful eyes, but thankfully no incident has ever happened.
Not that she looks forward to any, after all, you can't defend yourself being a four eleven in height. Chungyong encouraged her, "And...?"
She gulped her fear and said, "I felt as if it didn't belong here. I mean those tentacles made me remind of the day I have seen a black hole for the first time. We were crossing the border from school to home due to holidays and I encountered my first ever blackhole. It was quite a lightyears away from us. But it looked so beautiful. But as soon as I read its energy I couldn't help but shudder. The energy was so full and yet empty. The reading drained most of my energy and I felt as if it sucked me up and after that I had to go through a fever for at least ten days, to recover completely. Doctors told me that I didn't have my energy sucked, but it was my life. I was lucky to cut the cords in a short time or else it would have been the death of me. Then I asked my maid as to how long I stood there taking the energy and she told me I barely stood there I just happened to pass by and looked at it and I remember at that time I was reading the energy of our ship and I happened to pass by a window and catch a glimpse, but when I had my life drained it felt like hours."
As the silence crept every corner, Chungyong's lips stretched into a thin line as he murmured, "Could it be...?"
"What?" Snapped Gabriel as the anxiety and confusion were taking the best of her. Chungyong looked up and said in the most serious tone, "Could it be that Kaal has a blackhole's energy...?"
The shock was an understanding, but it was terrifying, that's what everyone thought. The whole room was silent until Irkan started, "This can't be true. A black hole is a tunnel to Voids. But only if anyone can survive them, how can you turn that power to living life?"Chungyong looked down and said, "Eight years ago, I was a normal child, at least for me and my parents, if not for the world outside our Kingdom. We were happily living our lives, dad was the leader and use to deal with the big meetings about how can we increase the export, so we can feed not only our people but people outside too. My mom was blessed with extraordinary intelligence about biology and dad provided her with all the technology she needed. Then she grew things for us which proved a huge help in making dad's dream of feeding the poor come true. Then on my fifth birthday, they threw a party as I completed my firs
"Tell me again, why are we on a ventilator?" Irkan asked angrily, as both he and Chungyong crawled furthermore. Chungyong replied in a very bored tone, "I have told you before we even started this."Irkan couldn't help but release a frustrated sigh, he said, "But you said that we're gonna spy on them."Chungyong crawled on his forearms as space was too less to move, he replied, "This is the best way we can hide and go most near to them and still not get recognized. I have used the sky element to remove our aura around us."Irkan, who was behind him asked in a curious tone, "Wait, you're an air and earth element, don't tell me you can use sky too."Chungyong chuckled at his honesty and replied, "Don't worry I am just earth and air. I u
"Chungyong?"As he looked back, he saw Mingyo with tears flowing from her eyes. Her eyes searching all over him to find something he didn't understand. Her face pale and tear stains on her purple top, she without saying anything ran to him, hugging him. She started to cry out loud, "Where were- you? Why- Dark Queen asked- for you?"As he heard those words he came out of his shock and hugged the girl, wrapping his arm around her waist and patting the little girl, who reached his nose. Without replying he started saying sweet nothings in her ears, "I am back. I am here. You're a strong girl. Don't cry. Please, Mingyo don't cry."Her name caught her attention as she unhugged them, looking up his eyes. Chungyong looked at her innocent eyes, which were red from all the crying. Her eyes glim
"No."Casually replied a walking Noah, but the word made the half-naked Lucious stop dead in his tracks. Noah stopped not hearing the smaller boy behind him. He moved back giving Lucious a look and he said, "No way in the hell I am going like this in the school. My reputation would be shred to pieces."Noah raised a brow and said, "This is the punishment for attacking me."Lucious started but before he could rant about his reputation and who he is, Noah said, "If I tell authorities about this, the punishment would be more severe."Lucious's eyes went wide at the name of authority and he asked in a low voice, "Would you...tell authorities?"Noah shrugged his shoulders adding, "Not if
Kaal's POVDarkness was the only word one could define it. No more, no less. It was so black, so nothing. I was sure I had felt the same nothingness before, but I exactly couldn't remember where. I felt so numb, so still, so stuck that I couldn't help but remember how it was when I was able to move.Wait, was I able to move? I mean when? Who am I anyway?I was busy questioning my own self when I felt a presence, it wasn't warm or something, but it was as nothing like me. I felt it coming closer and closer and then I heard, "How can they do this? Why me?"The voice was shrill so I assume it's a girl. Saying that she started to sob, which made something inside me stir. I felt as if something heavy was clouding me. Now i
---In the Garden of Royals---"What the hell was that?" Asked a very angry Irkan from a teared up Gabriel. After being literally dragged to the garden of royals, which is mainly run by Chungyong and since he was in the meeting there was no chance anyone could be here. So, Irkan took her here and as soon as they reached here he started yelling at her and now she was tearing up because of all the yelling and harsh treatment she was getting.As Irkan faced her to drill some more senses in her head, he saw her eyes, which were containing nothing but tears. He went all silent and observed her, as she stood up five-seven, her perfectly fitting dress and her red embarrassed face, he couldn't help but feel himself at the edge.He sighed, now asking softly, "Gabriel what's the
Gabriel wanted to sleep more but to her disappointment, the sunlight invaded her lids directly and made her grain loudly. She started to rub her eyes and as she moved to her right she felt an unfamiliar sting in her booty and that was when she had flashes of last night. She remembered how her very own brother dragged her like a child from the meeting room to here and she also remembered how she reacted to that. She felt nothing else than anger.Pure anger invaded her sleepiness and all the sleep that was roaming her eyes was now long gone. As she stood up slightly hissing as her butt wasn't keeping her badass attitude. She just didn't happen to understand what had gotten into her that she acted the way she did. But she didn't even want to think about it anymore. 'It was all Irkan's fault, it would have been better if he would have beaten me to bloods' -she thought to herself.
Sitael, "I missed you prince Chungyong." He opened his arms and ran straight to a shiver Chungyong who was trying to protect himself behind Mingyo. As the war to past Mingyo between Sitael and chungyong started, Mingyo couldn't help but feel awkward and smiled apologetically. As Sitael launch to Mingyo's left, Chungyong moved her in front as he said, "I can't hug you!"Sitael just frowned asking, "Why are you saying so? Is there any problem with my outfit? Did you not like it?"Chungyong replied, "B-Because my girlfriend doesn't like me touching others."By this only sentence, everything stopped in the meeting room, all the five pillars along with an elite student shocked to frozen. Everyone was filled with so confusion, but Mingyo felt her heart swelling up at the mention of his girlf
---In the meeting hall---Everyone was getting impatient and Qyushu were running out of time. But that's what Rue believed, their leader was sure unfazed by late in announcement. He was waiting patiently for Dark Queen's arrival. But as said all the business persons were in more rush since 'their precious time was being wasted' But dare they say this. Everyone feared dark queen more than they fear any epidemic or currancy fail. Because her kingdom, Anchancia, was not only the most powerful, but also was the most richest nation in the whole universe. Giving her power not only in the royals but in the businesspersons also. Plus her polictics was something which no one ever wanted to go against with.Soon, the chilling wind entered the hall, as they all heard the gates opening, and in coming a red dressed Anika.
---At medicine room---"Here hold my hand." The little white hand came forward and Mingyo couldn't help but hold it in urgency. The pain in her knee was getting the best of her fear, but in reality, she trusted Chungyong this much to at least hold his hand which had offered nothing more than help till now. She closed her eyes fractionally when the pain from the ointment increased. Her welled up eyes started to leak tears but Chungyoung's sweet talks rang in her ear once again and she felt a bit of chill.Finally, the pain died slowly and she started feeling a bit calm now. Her breath was still heavy but the constant painful itching was no more. She looked at Chungyong and he was looking back at her, with a smile on his face which made Mingyo realize she had never seen someone this happy with her. Chungyong said, "You di
