7

Savienna woke me up exactly at 11 PM, she said that the base of the underground is still far away so we have to be early. We are now traveling by Pierce's car. Savienna is in the front seat while I'm in the backseat, I'm carrying some of my clothes because Savienna said that once I'm enrolled there, they'll give me a room to stay in.

I didn't agree at first but I didn't do anything because if I didn't stay there they might suspect me. I was a little nervous because they might know that I am a Lacsamana.

But Savienna assured me, that everything is going to be fine. That I have nothing to worry about.

"Sabrina, we're here." I was even more nervous because of what Savienna said. I nodded to him and got out of the car, Pierce helped me carry my things while Savienna fixed her hair.

"Hey, do I look like a psychopath now?" He suddenly asked and looked at us, his eyes... his looks were scary.

I looked at Pierce and he just gave a thumbs up so I didn't do anything so I just nodded.

"Fix your face Sabrina, they read people well. Fix your expression, show your dark side." I nodded at her and took a deep breath, I don't know how to look like Savienna so I remained my bitch face rest at my face.

"Well, I hope you can make it more psychotic but I know you can't. Just avoid being soft." Reminded by Savienna, I nodded at her and took a deep breath.

I looked around and noticed that we were on top of a hill, and it was surrounded by tall trees. So people don't notice it much.

We stopped at a huge gate, it's made of steel and at a glance, it's obvious how strong it is.

Savienna pressed something so it suddenly opened. I looked around and was amazed, it was just like a normal school but bigger, wider and there were so many twists and turns.

I followed Savienna's walk and we stopped in front of a door. I read the sign above the door, 'Headmaster' s Quarter'

"Bitch face, Reian." I nodded at Savienna's whisper to me, we went inside but Pierce just left outside.

When we entered I immediately noticed the very elegant room. The floor is made of marble, and the walls are designed marvelously.

"God," Savienna said softly and I was surprised when suddenly a man came out from a corner.

He looks... so scary. He is wearing a mask, and his face has a scar, from his forehead to his cheek.

"Reina Hernandez. One of the best students. What do you want?" His baritone voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Deus meet my twin..." Savienna said and immediately pulled me next to her. The man he called Deus looked at me.

"Another Hernandez with a blood of a mafia?" God asked. I saw Savienna wink and smiled creepily. I remained my resting bitch face.

"I want to enroll her, here. She got an unbelievable sense of environment and speed. I just think that she needs to improve, for her to be better." Savienna explained. Deus approached us and I saw his Strong gaze on me.

"Are you sure to enroll her here? You know what she can go through here." God stated.

"Yes, Deus. I know she can do it. I know she is strong enough to graduate just like me." Savienna said.

"Reina, you graduated from this school in just 8 months. Are you sure she is as good as you?" There was doubt in Deus's voice. I couldn't say anything because it was my first time coming here.

"Deus. Reian is as good as me. And maybe? Stronger than me." Savienna said with a smile.

"Do you kill?" Deus suddenly asked me. I was immediately nervous about what he said.

"I-it depends on the situation," I said nervously. Deus raised an eyebrow making me even more nervous.

"Do you know how to use knives? or swords?" I immediately shook my head.

"N-no, I never used one before." Deus' eyes narrowed because of my answer, I can't lie!

"Can you fire a gun?" I shook my head again.

"I never tried," I answered.

"Then where did your confidence come from? You are entering a school that trains people to be pro-mafia. And you are telling me that you can't even hold or use any weapons?" I looked at Deus. Is he doubting me?

"You don't trust my sister, do you?" I said directly while looking into his eyes.

"What do you mean? Of course, I do!"

"If you trust her, then you must believe what she said about me. That I am just as good as her and maybe stronger than her." I said firmly, seeing the shock in his eyes. I one hundred percent thank Saint for teaching me how to manipulate a conversation. He must be proud of me right now.

"That's not what I meant! I just want to make sure that you are qualified of being here." He said.

"Of course I do, I am the twin sister of the woman who just passed this school in eight months. We have the same genes. So I am sure that I am qualified for this school." I said.

"Okay, you have the attitude and the skill..." He whispered.

I looked at Savienna and she just smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.

"I already called the President in this school, he will lead you to your new dorm room."

"And, welcome to this school. You are now officially enrolled here."

After the scene in Deus' office, Peirce and Savienna went home, Savienna said that it was just like I was in a normal boarding school but the teaching was different. The School President took me to my dorm.

I was even a little amazed at the size of the dorm here, it was bigger than my room in Saint's mansion. And in Manzo's house, because it has its comfort room, kitchen, bedroom, and living room. It's like an apartment.

I looked at the wall and saw the uniform hanging there. There were three uniforms, a school uniform with a black blazer, a white long sleeves blouse, a red necktie, and a black skirt with a white line at the end. One looks like a weird gym uniform, and the other looks like a combat uniform.

The School President explained to me what it was for.

Because I was bored, I decided to just walk around the school. I put on a hoodie and locked my dorm and started walking. It's quite dark and it's getting cold.

I can't understand the size of the school, where did they get the funds to build it? That it is not under the government of the Philippines.

Maybe the people who have shares in our school are very rich. They made it perfect for students who aspire to become mafias.

"Help!!!!" I looked in the direction where someone suddenly shouted. I was surprised because of that cry.

Because of the panic, I immediately went to where the noise was. I was about to go straight when I saw a girl, surrounded by what looked like bitchy squads. I immediately hid on the side of the wall and listened to them.

"Listen, Maureen, there is no place in our school. Maybe you bribed the headmaster just to get in here!" One said flatly. Oh, god. Are we getting this?

"Stacey you are wrong! My Dad is a mafia and he wants me to study being a mafia too!" When the girl they call Maureen fights.

"Oh right? Are you weakling? Being a mafia! Come on! You are making me laugh!" The voice of the woman Mauren called Stacey was still shrill. I just took a deep breath, I couldn't do anything. That's their problem, I don't want to mess it up.

I was about to leave my hiding place when someone suddenly spoke.

"You're leaving? You're not going to help them?" My hair immediately stood up when I recognized that voice.

I immediately turned to the speaker and immediately got nervous. No...why is he here?

"Hi, Sabrina...you can't just leave me like that. I won't agree."

"P-Psalm?" He smiled. He brushed his curly hair using his fingers and smiled at me again.

"You thought so? We'll meet here?" He joked.

"Why are you hereㅡI mean, how did you get in here?" He raised his one eyebrow at me.

"Is that question really for me Sab? Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that? Why are you here? What is your purpose?"

No. I can't tell him, I can't just tell him my plan of getting rid of his father. His father killed Saint, and I don't want him to know that and ruin my plan.

"My sister works here." I immediately said.

"Really? you mean your twin?" He asked, and I immediately nodded to him.

"Sab. As far as I know, Savienna is one of the best students here. She is an assassin and a serial killer, so she cannot work here as a faculty member." He seriously promised. I was immediately nervous, I really can't trust him.

I opened my mouth and was about to say something when Maureen suddenly screamed, I turned to where they were and saw that Stacey was already adjusting Maureen. I was immediately alerted and was about to rush when Psalm stopped me.

He quietly walked towards her while I just stood where he stopped me.

They looked at Psalm and I saw the fear and dread on their faces. Before Psalm could speak, they immediately sped off.

Psalm, who are you?

The next day I was sent to the arena, I don't know why. The School Pres said. My Level 1 training is about to start. He even warned me that I need to prepare myself, physically and emotionally. Because I can't expect the training here.

I put on my combat attire and walked towards the arena, I didn't memorize the place so I just followed the students who were also in combat attire walking in the same direction.

They stopped so I stopped, we stopped at an arena. It's like, a city field. (a/n: if you don't know what Citi field is, just search it.)

"Brenda, I'm nervous. This is my first day here." I immediately turned to the woman, she also turned to me and I immediately saw her face. Maureen.

"Maureen?" I called him. She tried to smile at me so I smiled at her, I walked towards her.

"Hi, Reian. Thank you for calling Psalm last night." Yeah right, what Psalm told Maureen was that I called her to ask for help.

"It's okay, not a big deal. It's your first day too?" I will ask. He nodded at me and brushed his short hair.

"Me too, I'm a little nervous too." The girl he was talking to earlier said. He must have seen the confusion on my face so he laughed softly.

"I'm Brenda." I just said 'ah', I forgot. Maureen called her Brenda earlier.

"Your face is familiar to me Reian..." Maureen said immediately, raising my eyebrows because of what she said.

"What do you mean by that?" I was confused about Maureen. We never met before, so he couldn't have seen me before.

"I saw you somewhere around the school." He said.

"Maybeㅡ"

"Ah right!" Maureen cut me off.

"It's on the List of Mafia Bosses. There you are, you're the fourth highest mafia boss." Huh? Maureen's words made me think, but I immediately remembered Savienna.

"Oh, that's not me. That's my twin." I explained.

"You have twins?" Brenda asked so I nodded at her.

"Woah, I heard that's good. So you're good too?"

I was going to answer no but immediately the huge gate opened to enter the arena. All the students were silent and just stared at the opening of the big gate.

"Welcome, to all the future Mafia's there. Your Level 1 training will start now." I immediately recognized that voice, it was Deus. I was immediately nervous. Will this involve killing?

We slowly entered inside and I was amazed at the size of the entire arena. Even Brenda and Maureen were impressed by the size of the arena.

When we got inside everyone was very quiet. I got even more nervous and looked at the huge monitor, Deus and the other headmasters of the school were there.

"And for your level 1 training, you need to kill each other." Kk-kill?

"The 20 students who will be left will proceed to level 2 of the training. Good luck my future mafias! Your time starts, now!"

None of us moved, we just looked at each other. No one wants to kill, even Brenda and Maureen are already shivering. But we were very surprised when suddenly someone shouted not far away.

"If you don't want to move, I'll kill you all! I need to be a mafia!" A man yelled which immediately alerted us all.

And everybody is already in chaos. But do I need to kill? I can't kill! And I'll never kill!

My hands began to tremble when I saw a lot of bodies, lifeless. Brenda and Maureen start to act, they are close friends so they don't kill each other. Because of the strength of my feeling, I felt that someone was going to attack me, so I immediately dodged.

"Reian! What are you doing?! Move now!" Because of Maureen's scream, I immediately came back to my senses.

"But I can't kill!" I cried out loud.

"If you can't then try to save yourself! Shake yourself! Fight back, weak people aren't for here! You choose! You kill or you die!" Brenda shouted. I kill or I die.

I looked at the monitor and saw the headmasters looking at us seriously, especially Deus. I know he is watching me the whole time, I can let them see my tantrums here.

You choose, Sabrina. You kill or you die? Come on, brain work now! I was sweating while looking around. I counted all the injured bodies, 14. And I can't be one of them.

Remember Sabrina, you are doing this for Saint. To take revenge for Saint, you entering this school is for your baby. For Saint. My heart eased, and all I can see is Saint's smiling face.

'You can do it, baby! I am so proud of you.'

Oh God, forgive me for this sin.

I opened my eyes and immediately looked around. I can't die now. This kind of person is not going to bring me down, I can't allow it.

I moved quickly when I felt a hand punch me. I grabbed that hand and twisted it, I heard a broken bone and a scream.

I wasted no time and immediately kicked that man's neck. And I am now sure of it, I just made my first kill. Instead of being afraid, my desperation prevailed to join the ones who will be saved in our bloody fight.

My eyes widened when I saw three women rushing towards me. The other one is the one on the left, while the other one is on my right and the last one is behind me.

They rushed at me at the same time, and I made the stun I wasn't sure about. I made a high jump and landed behind those girls. I saw surprise in their eyes.

They all rushed toward me and all I can do is to defend myself. I punched one of them so hard that I was able to move a bit more freely. I kicked that bitch hard which immediately knocked her down.

The two were about to run but I made my swift move and teleported to their front. But I just ran fast to move in front of them.

I smirked. "Two little rats are running from a cat," I said.

And without any thought, I kicked the other girl hard and punched another one. I locked the neck of one in my arm and broke it. I saw the other girl shivering. I didn't waste any time and kicked her hard straight in the face.

"You're doing good, Sabrina." I heard Savienna's voice inside my head.

'I know Sis.' I laughed hard. A laugh I wasn't capable of hearing, what kind of laugh was that? That was like an evil laugh.

I looked around and saw many unconscious people. I counted everyone standing and I smiled. 20, and I'm one of them. I passed Level 1.

"Good job, 20 students! I expected a lot from you all."

"To those who are injured, or dead we will pay for your funeral services." I was immediately terrified by Deus' voice. He's like dumping dead bodies like dumped tissues.

"We will post the rankings for now. You can go to your dorm rooms, have a nice afternoon! Mafias!" One announcement and leaderboards immediately replaced the previously sitting headmasters.

Oh? I'm in 13th place. Brenda is in 8th, and Maureen is in 7th.

"Ah, I know I have some mafia blood in me." I heard Brenda say while smiling at me.

"Nice one, Reian. 4 kills isn't bad," Maureen said with a smile. I nodded at him.

"You're really good out there. Especially your eyes, your aura suddenly changed." Brenda said as we walked out of the arena together.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Yes! We thought you were modest and that you wouldn't pass here because you're smart. But earlier, you were like a tiger that got out of its cage." Maureen said.

"I think what I saw in your eyes was familiar...hmm what is it again?. ㅡ" Brenda paused.

"Bloodlust? Yeah! Bloodlust."

What? Bloodlust? Just like what Savienna has?

When I returned to the dorm, I immediately called Savienna using the telephone in my dorm. He immediately answered.

"Who's this?" He asked on the other line.

"It's me," I said briefly, I heard the noise on the other line of loud music.

"Oh, why were you summoned is there something that we need to know?" Savienna asked me. I sighed. I should tell her, right? This is the first time I am in this state and as a sister maybe he should know.

"I just killed four people today..." I said weakly. I heard silence on the other line, so I immediately got nervous. What if, Savienna didn't kill someone during her level 1 training? What if it's just me?

"Are you serious?" I heard the doubt in his voice. Did he think I was lying?

"Yes, Savienna. I am deadly serious." My voice was full while saying that.

"Well, four kills isn't bad. What kind of training do you have? Is it difficult?" Is it different? I thought all training was the same.

"We are locked in an arena and we must kill each other and the 20 students left will continue," I explained, I heard Savienna's laugh on the other line so I frowned.

"Oh god, how many do you think there are?" he asked.

"Around 300 to 370, maybe," I said.

"Pfft. And you only killed four?! That's hilarious Sab! You need to work more. Maybe Deus is not convinced about you anymore." He promised.

"What do you mean by that? That I have to kill more just to meet Deus's expectations?" I can't stop being annoyed because of what Savienna said, why is she living with anyone else's expectations?

"Nope. All I'm saying is don't embarrass the image I've created there. I'm the one who introduced you, so they expect more about you. Imagine? I, the great Reina with you. Work more, Reian." I heard him say. I sighed.

"One more thing sav."

"Yeah? what is it?"

"I think I just had a bloodlust earlier." The other line went silent again, making me nervous again. What's with bloodlust? Even Savienna can't handle the bloodlust she has.

What I know about him is that once someone stares at him badly, his bloodlust is activated. But...how about me?

"Sabrina, you're in danger." I tensed up because of Savienna's response. What does she mean?

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Listen Sab, bloodlust is not easy to handle. Because when I have it, I feel like I'm going crazy. It's like everything I see I want to destroy, bloodlust is scary..." she paused for a while.

"Bloodlust will make you do things you aren't capable of doing. I didn't mean to choke Audrey like that, then. It's just my bloodlust." Bloodlust. Why do we have that? Why?

"Why did you have that? Why didn't other people have that? Why are we the ones who have that?" I asked.

"Father has it too, and Saint. Mafia bosses who have bloodlust are the scariest ones. I know I'm strong but I might harm myself too if bloodlust hits me." What does he mean? Hurt herself?

And Saint has it too? I've never seen him with his bloodlust.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Bloodlust isn't easy to handle. It can make you do things you aren't capable of. You don't know what you're doing, your body doesn't know how to get tired if bloodlust attacks you. And in exchange for that killing, your body will be drained. And bloodlust won't let you, it will eat you. So you'll tend to hurt yourself."

"And you won't let that happen, right?"

"Never Savienna, never," I said firmly. I will never let bloodlust consume my whole being. Never.

"Then learn to control it. Control the bloodlust you have, I can control mine sometimes. But you need to control it. ASAP."

"I will," I said and hung up.

Bloodlust is scarier than I think.

The next day we were all sent to the gym, all of us who passed the stage 1 training. Some of us are tired and haven't slept well, while others don't care what's going on.

Some are already close to each other and already building their squad. We were told that our physical trainer will be introduced to us, where he will teach us how to use guns, bows, knives, and other weapons.

"Yes! Reian, I'm excited. I am good at using bows I can't deny that." Maureen said with a smile. We all sat on the bleachers and waited for the teacher to join us.

"I think I can use knives though," Brenda said with a shrug.

"And you, Reian? Do you know any weapons to use?" Maureen asked me. I? I don't know anything about this field, after all, I'm new to this.

"I don't know yet, because I can't handle any weapon," I answered her.

"That's weird. It says in Reina's biography, that she's your twin. She's been trained since she was a toddler. So why you? Didn't they train her?" Savienna has a biography here? Did she make a name here huh?

"Ah, because we got separated when we were young. And he was left with mommy, while I was with daddy." They just nodded at me and continued talking about weapons.

All the students were quiet when the gym gate suddenly opened, they all looked at the gate and a woman and a man entered.

My eyes widened when I recognized who the two entered the gym. Don't tell me they will teach us? I was immediately nervous.

When they stood in front of us all, my classmates immediately looked at me. Even they could not believe what they were seeing.

"Good morning, young mafias. I am Reina Hernandez. I am your physical trainer." Savienna? Why is he here?

"I am Psalm Sudalga. I am your weapon instructor." And also Psalm... Why are the two of them here?

"Hey, Reian, you look alike," Maureen told me that our other classmates did nothing but gossip.

"It's just your hair that's different. You're both beautiful, and you're whiter." Brenda said while just staring at Savienna while explaining what she was going to teach about.

"The guy is cute too, I heard he's Mafia Prime. Son of Mafia Boss Sudalga." Maureen said. Yeah, Maureen, he's a Mafia Prime. And I can't believe he is here.

I heard Brenda giggle, so I looked at her. Ugh, he likes Psalm too? I can't blame them, Psalm is really cute and kinda attractive. But his features are not as sharp as Saint's.

"Don't you like Sir Psalm, Reian? He's handsome!!" Brenda said. I just shook my head at him and smiled a little.

"Eh? What type are you Reian? I heard that the 1st Mafia Boss here is handsome...what's his name?" Brenda asked Maureen, Maureen pouted as if she was thinking deeply.

"Hellion....ah yes! Hellion, I heard he is the most handsome in the whole Mafia World hehehe" They both giggled. Even I was surprised by what they said but I couldn't help but smile.

They don't know me being owned by Saint after all. So I have no right to hate the male flesh of my entire system.

They don't know about us. No one knows about Saint and me. They don't know about me.

They don't know anything about me.

"Physical Status is very important when it comes to battles. You can't go too far in a battle." Savienna's promise is serious, everyone who listens to Savienna is serious. While I couldn't stop myself because of Psalm's eyes on me.

He is different this time, he doesn't seem to be the goody boy I saw at Akademi High. His personality is different, everyone is different. Even his style. It's like he's no longer the innocent Psalm I used to know. He's like a devil here.

I can't even feel any nervousness in Psalm. He used to always be nervous, and I don't get it. Why does he have to be undercover in that school too? As far as I know, he has been studying there for a long time.

"Okay, we will start our physical training now. For this morning we will do, warm-ups first. So yeah, everyone stands up!" Savienna said enthusiastically. I heard some complaints from other students that they don't want to start training now because their bodies are still sore.

"We will start with what you don't want and what you want," Savienna said in a deep voice that immediately made everyone stand up.

I stand up. And waited for Savienna to teach.

We did some serious warm-ups, like push-ups. I was a little surprised that Brenda and Maureen could do push-ups. And it's also a bit embarrassing because I'm the only one who doesn't know how to do push-ups.

But I am very thankful that Savienna taught us and I was not embarrassed in the whole class. Savienna was seriously teaching us while Psalm was just quietly watching us, more specifically me.

I couldn't warm up properly because of Psalm's stares.

After the exhausting warm-up, we were all sweating and panting.

"Okay, we're done doing warm-ups. Now let's train your weak bodies! Go to the grounds!" Commanded by Savienna, we immediately ran out of the gym and went to the grounds.

I was stunned. There is a huge obstacle course that is blocked on the ground. Like we're on training for the military! When we all got to the ground, we all just stared at the obstacle course that was there.

"Listen to you, weaklings. Choose a pair. And that pair will be your partner to overcome that obstacle course. The two pairs that reach the top the fastest can go to the arena for level 2 training." Savienna promised. Oh, so they are right that there is a possibility to advance to the next stage if you are good.

So that's how Savienna and Saint passed this school without a sweat. Because they're strong already.

"Reian! Let's be partners since Tom is already Brenda's partner." I nodded to Maureen and approached her, I need to pass this stage ASAP.

If it's just about speed, I know I can overcome our obstacle course sooner than they expect. But I need to be quick and accurate. I can't make a mistake. This obstacle course is not just a simple obstacle course.

"Listen, this obstacle course contains traps that might injure you. So, analyze everything before you proceed." Psalm speech.

"Let's start now." We all nodded at what Savienna said. He chose the pair to enter and I thought we would be first but it turned out not to be.

While watching my two classmates, all I hear is their voices as if they are fighting. Oh no, they need cooperation, or both of them will be injured!

The obstacle course is like a tower. It spins and things suddenly come out of the tower. (Try watching Percy Jackson: Sea of ​​Monsters, that's where the mage gets what kind of obstacle course it is)

And with just one wrong step you will fall and all your hard work will be wasted.

"Aaaahhhh!" We all gasped when we saw how one of my classmates fell from the tower. Oh my god. This is deadly!

I immediately got closer to Savienna and she looked at me, and she raised her eyebrows.

"SavㅡReina this is dangerous. They might break their heads if they fall." I said while nervously looking at the first pair.

"Well? I don't care. If they die, they will. There's nothing we can do." She said. W-what?

"What do you mean you don't care? Their lives are at stake!" I stopped my voice from rising while saying that to Savienna.

"Listen, sis, this organization is your worst nightmare. Even though I'm related to you, I don't have the right to help you. Because, when you're here you need to work on your own. You need to act like you don't care about everybody, just take care of yourself." She tried to explain, but I still don't get it.

"But I can't do that! You know me, I can't just close my eyes while someone dies in front of me!" I told him.

"Then how did you sleep last night knowing that you killed four people yesterday?" I couldn't answer. My eyes widened at Savienna's words. She's right. How did I sleep last night?

How did my conscience put me to sleep? That's very unlikely of me!

"See? All you need to do is not take care of everything. And you won't have any problems here. Don't worry about them, Deus will take care of everything." He said with a shrug and looked back at my classmates who were having a hard time on that obstacle course.

"And one last thing, friends here don't exist. Are those ladies beside you right now? They will leave you because they think about their situation more than others. So you should think the same too." She paused and looked at Maureen and Brenda.

"Why do you think Brenda chose to pair up with Tom?" He asked me.

"I do not know."

"Because she knows that when she pairs with a good one, the possibility is greater that she will finish it earlier and faster. Tom is on the top ranking right?" Savienna asked me again, and I nodded.

He is right, Tom is in the First rank because he is good. And Brenda chose to be with the person she doesn't trust rather than us.

I get it now...

It's now our turn. Maureen was about to climb the obstacle course but I immediately stopped her. Savienna said that once we step on the platform of the obstacle course, the timer will start. As of now Brenda and Tom are the fastest, they have 6mins and 43sec.

I stared at the obstacle course from the bottom to the end. I counted all the moving objects, and what time they appear.

I see, walking through the first block like everybody will do is dangerous. Because of the next block, it will suddenly disappear so the tendency is that you will just fall again.

I get it, that's why it's a pair. Because it needs another person on the other side to balance the tower and slow down the absence of blocks. This obstacle course is quite clever.

"Okay, Maureen. I'm on the other side and you're on the opposite side. Okay?" I asked her, Maureen nodded to me and went to the opposite side of the tower.

I looked at Savienna and she was just looking at what we were doing. We are the last pair to finish this obstacle course. Some of my classmates are badly injured, so I'm nervous.

"Maureen! Let's start!" I screamed.

"In my count!"

"1

2

3!"

And without any hesitation, I started to step on the blocks that were moving in the obstacle course.

I sensed something at my back so I immediately bent down.

"Maureen! Dodge!" I can see her from the other side because the tower has a hole and you can see the one on the opposite side.

I saw her dodge from the block spinning around the entire tower. I took my second block and dodged again, Maureen dodged too. I felt the movement of the block I was on so I immediately got nervous.

I looked at the head and saw another block. I wasted no time and immediately reached for it with my hands.

Now I'm floating in the air and I look down, we haven't climbed very high yet. When the block that disappeared came back, I immediately took action and stepped on the block again.

I saw Maureen did also what I just did so I smiled at her.

"Be alert, Maureen!" I screamed. He nodded to me and started to climb.

We kept climbing and dodging to reach the peak of the tower. I feel that we are nearing the top of the tower because the things in the tower are spinning faster and the tower is shaking. I saw it with Brenda earlier, something will appear randomly causing the students to freak out and fall.

I cling to a hole in the tower where I can see the other side of the tower.

"Maureen, hang on! Something will come up!" I shouted at her, Maureen nodded at me and I saw her look around her. She showed a thumbs up to me so I smiled.

Seconds later we were both surprised when suddenly all the blocks of the obstacle course disappeared. What the hell? Why didn't this happen to Brenda?

I looked at Savienna's place and I couldn't help but get angry. Deus. And he is holding something, some controller. If so, is he the one controlling our obstacle course? And he is making it a lot harder for us!

"Reian! What are we going to do?" We are close to the top, we can do this. Only a little left.

"Aaaahh!!" I groaned in pain when suddenly a block appeared in my stomach.

"Reian?! Reain! Are you okay?!" Maureen shouted on the other side of the obstacle course.

"Y-yes! I-I'm fine!" I shouted back. I eyed Deus and I saw a smirk on his face. You think you are going to win huh?

I wasted no time and immediately went up and stood on the block that suddenly appeared earlier. I felt the tower shake up, another block is coming. I applied my palm to the tower.

Near my head huh?

Before the block came out, I immediately bowed. I used all my strength and used that block to bring me to the top.

It's shaking up again! Once again I applied my palm to the tower. And to my horror, something is not going to appear! The block under my feet will disappear! Curse him!

And because it was only a few inches to get to the top. And with all my strength, I jump again so high. Higher than the stunt that I did with those bitches yesterday.

And luckily, I sighed in relief. I landed at the top. I hurriedly looked to Maureen's side and saw that she was close. I lend her my arm and she accepted it, using my strength I pulled her up so she could climb up.

We both laughed at the end when we got to the top of the obstacle course, I looked at them below and they all clapped including Deus.

And Savienna announced using her microphone.

"Maureen Gonzaga & Reian Hernandez = 6mins and 29sec.

Brendalyn Montreal & Timothy Brandley = 6mins and 43sec.

Congratulations, both of the pairs will proceed to the level 2 training tomorrow!!"

"You amazed me Reian. That's expected from a Hernandez blood." Deus said smiling at me, I couldn't help myself and I just rolled my eyes at him. He's the reason why the obstacle is more difficult! I don't care if I treat him too rudely.

But what he just did earlier is not so okay with me. Maureen and I almost perished because of that. I heard Deus' soft laugh because of my reaction.

"You and your twin are something. Anyways, proceed to the arena tomorrow. Level 2 training is waiting for the four of you." Deus said and immediately left us. I looked at Maureen and saw happiness and tiredness all over her face.

"Everybody did a good job, especially you four," Savienna said and looked at the four of us. They smiled widely at Savienna while I just looked at her.

"For all those who didn't pass, you'll train with me the whole day. And the four of you...follow Psalm. He will teach you about weapons." My body tensed up because of what Savienna said. Psalm will teach us? That simply means it'll be more awkward for me.

Psalm started walking away from us so we immediately followed him. I looked at Tom and he was also quietly following Psalm. Even Maureen and Brenda are silent.

No one spoke until we stopped somewhere. I looked at the signage, and it says 'cafeteria'. I frowned and looked at Psalm who had his back turned. He then looked at us.

"Eat first, I don't want to teach students on empty stomachs." Brenda and Maureen's faces lit up at what Psalm said.

We sat at the table near the window, and a waiter came to us and took our order. Good thing they have a waiter because I am too tired to line up there and bring my order.

I ordered a vegetable salad and a bottle of water, but I was surprised when Psalm passed it. Omg? The calories!

"Uhm, Psalm. Don't overdo it, I don't want my calories to be high." I weakly told him. He was next to me while Brenda, Maureen, and Tom were in front of us.

"And you think it's for you? It's for me." I immediately bit my lip because of shame. Damn me for assuming!

I know Maureen didn't hear that because they were busy ordering. I was so ashamed that I couldn't stop biting my lower lip. Ugh! Am I aware that it's him? And I got used to the way he treated me before, which was super caring.

"Sir, are you free?" Maureen asked shamelessly. I heard Psalm's soft laugh.

"Yes, buy whatever you want." I saw their eyes twinkle and they ordered more.

"Are you sure you only have vegetable salad? Reian?" Tom asked me, I nodded to him.

Only Brenda and Maureen spoke while we waited for our order. Psalm is busy with his laptop. While I was just looking out the window glass of the cafeteria.

I can see the extent of the whole school. And no matter how many times I saw it, I still couldn't stop being amazed at the sight. As I looked at the scene, my eyes immediately widened at what I saw.

My calm heart suddenly beat very loudly. No. Suddenly the corner of my eyes warmed while staring at the bulk standing in the distance while surrounded by men in tuxedos.

Even Maureen, Brenda, and Tom looked at what I was looking at.

"Oh my god... is he the Hellion they say?!" Maureen said in disbelief.

No...I rubbed my eyes several times. It's real, he's real. Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at the lively Saint walking in the middle of the field.

His features are still sharp as ever...his eyepatch...the way he stands...his hair... nothing has changed. I immediately stood up and ran out of the cafeteria.

This is the fastest run I've ever done in my entire life. I wiped the tears flowing from my eyes and stopped breathing. I saw Saint looking at me with his bored and piercing eyes.

W-what? Why is he looking at me like that?

"Saint!" I shouted as he walked again. He stopped and looked at me. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Who are you perhaps?" My heart broke because of what he said...

"S-Saint...h-you don't know me? I am S-Sabrina!" I saw her frown.

"No, I don't know you." It was like my whole world suddenly collapsed because of what Saint said. He doesn't recognize me? What happened to him?

Saint continued to walk with the men in tuxedos. I just sat on the grass while staring at the bulk of Saint walking away.

He's back, he's breathing fine. But he doesn't know me. What happened to you? My baby.

Yesterday was a freaking nightmare for me. Saint indeed, come back. But he doesn't remember me, what happened to him? Why doesn't he remember me? Plus, Brenda, Maureen, Tom, and Psalm...saw what happened.

Brenda even suspected that I am his admirer, but for Christ's sake! He is mine, to begin with! Saint is my boyfriend! And I still consider him to be, even though he doesn't recognize me.

On second thought I was thinking what if it wasn't him? Maybe he just looks like him. But no...the voice...the features...I'm sure it

's him. Yesterday I was floating while Psalm was teaching me about weapons. And he didn't do anything because I couldn't get over what happened yesterday, that was so unexpected to see him appear out of nowhere!

I badly need to talk to him. I don't want him to never recognize me for the rest of his life, I came here for him! I came here to take revenge for him! But all I just did is worthless when the person I am fighting for, doesn't know me!

"Reian. You were out of your mind a while ago, you need to focus. We're doing Level 2 training." I heard what Maureen said, I was immediately brought back to reality because of what Maureen said.

Right. Even though Saint is here, I still have to finish what I started. He didn't remember me so how can he protect me? Besides, I can't just rely on him.

"Welcome. To the four of you, for your level 2 training...each one of you has a bow and 5 arrows. All you need to do is to shoot the moving target." Oh, it's easy. Level 2 is much easier than Level 1

"But plot twist, the moving target will be a person. We hired worthless people from the outside to be your target. Good luck! To the four of you." I was immediately startled. Do I need to kill, again? I looked at Brenda and it seemed like nothing was happening to her.

I looked at the monitor and what I saw froze me. Saint is there...he is watching...with Deus. I was more nervous knowing that Saint is watching this training.

After we pulled out, luckily, I was the last one. Tom goes first and I see people come out wearing the same clothes. They looked so lifeless like they were walking without life.

When the timer starts I was surprised when the people called the target ran toward Tom. Without hesitation, I saw Tom shoot them with his arrows and bow.

But he got only 5 arrows! How can he beat them all? I counted all the targets. 30. Oh my god, how am I able to defeat those people using only a bow and 5 arrows?

No one can do that! I saw Tom panic. So instead of using the bow he punches and fights his targets.

"Damn, this level is quite difficult to analyze" I heard Maureen say, I looked at them and saw that they were serious about watching Tom.

I saw Savienna and Psalm appear out of nowhere. They sat on the side of the arena and just watched silently. I glanced at the monitor and I saw Saint looking directly...at me?

I can't tell because it's the monitor. I'm not sure if he's still looking at me or not. I saw how simple it was when he looked away from me, so I took a deep breath. If he is going to continue staring at me like that...I might die early because damn! I can't focus!

I looked at Savienna and saw that she was also looking at the monitor. He is whispering something to Psalm and Psalm looked at my behavior. I immediately looked away.

Are they talking about me?

I turned my attention back to Tom and saw that he was close to exhausting his targets. I bet he is already tired. I can see it in his body language.

"Reian?" I was surprised by Psalm's sudden appearance. So I looked at him and raised my eyebrows.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"Can we talk somewhere far away from her?" He was referring to Brenda and Maureen. I nodded at him.

We both walked quite a distance with Maureen. But we can still clearly see Tom's fight.

"Saint is back." That's all he said and all the pain I felt came back. I just nodded weakly to him, it was a sign of agreement.

"I saw how you approached him yesterday." He added.

"Pathetic right?" I said laughing.

"You still love him?" He asked. And I just nodded. Of course! I will never get tired of loving Saint, even if I wait for him. his afterlife...

"But he doesn't remember anything...right?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I don't know why he did that. What happened to him?" I asked Psalm.

There are so many questions in my mind but no one answers even one of them. First, why is Psalm here? Who is he? Second, why is Savienna here too? And where's Pierce? And lastly, what happened to Saint? Why did he do that?

"You probably want to ask a lot...But I have no right to answer that.." Huh? What does he mean?

"What do you mean by that?"

"We are under control by Deus. We can't speak unnecessary things, because Deus has many ears. Maybe even if we are talking about this, he knows...he's very dangerous SaㅡReian." Psalm warns.

"Even Saint? Is he under controlled by Deus too?" Psalm shook his head at what I said.

"He is the only person who can defeat Deus. That is why Deus is keeping Saint by his side all the time." Keeping Saint by his side? So that means, Saint is God's ally?

"I know you have many questions, but that person is the only person who can answer you," Psalm said while pointing to the monitor.

And there I saw, my handsome devil, staring straight at me again. How dangerous can you be, Saint?

"Why him? Why not you?" I couldn't help asking Psalm, he smiled at me bitterly and leaned closer to me, and whispered: "Because I have no right, to answer the Mafia Heiress' question"

I was about to speak when I heard the announcement again.

"Timothy Brandley, TASK COMPLETED WITHIN 20 MINS AND 34 SEC." I looked at Tom who was covered in blood all over his clothes.

"Anyway, you need to work well here. Saint is watching..." Psalm said and winked at me. I frowned because of Psalm's act.

I went back to the waiting shed where Brenda and Tom were standing. Maureen is next, I wonder if she'll make it. But I know she is good.

"Guys those targets are really weird, very hard to knock down," Tom said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Brenda asked. Those targets? What's special about them?

I helped Tom in wiping the blood scattered all over his body. While Brenda is waiting for Tom's explanations.

"I realized something while fighting there..."

"What is it?" Brenda hissed.

"The harder you hit them the tougher they can get. That's why you have to knock them out with just one crash."

I was immediately nervous, what should I do? I am not good at using arrows and bows, and my kick isn't that strong to knock the 30 of them.

What am I going to do?
