CHAPTER XVIII: The Punishment
CHAPTER XVIII: The Punishment
We all just bowed as Archmaster Leonard scolded us, preaching us how should we behave as one of the chosen Celestial Twelve. This scenario was not new to me. When we were still kids, we were always scolded by him because we got involved into countless troubles.
I caught Raid, Glade and the other boys among us hiding their laughters. They were not taking the sermon seriously. Nothing has changed to them. Instead of showing guilt, it looked like they made fun of Archmaster’s words. What a bunch of pain in the ass. I just rolled my eyes secretly and heave a silent breath.
“I expected everyone of you to be a model to everyone here inside the Academy, but what were you doing? Instead of observing peace and order, you were the ones leading trouble here!” Archmaster continued as he walked from here to there repeatedly.
“But, Archmaster—”
“Don't butt in, Caya. I'm not asking for

Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XIX: Heartbeats
CHAPTER XIX: Heartbeats“You seemed to be underestimating us, Archmaster,” Glade said proudly.“Yeah, this is so easy to do,” Raid commented. Ugh, when will these two stop talking about nonsense things? They were pain in the ass. They are going into my nerves, driving me crazy.Archmaster just smirked as if he’s planning something bad. “You will do this every day for a month. Am I clear?” he revealed. My jaw totally dropped as my eyes widened out of astonishment. That was a complete torture. How could Archmaster do this to us? I cried mentally.“No worries, old gee—” Just before Glade finished his silly statement, he kissed the ground as Archmaster Leonard snapped his fingers. I tried to contain myself. But I was laughing inside.“Just answer my question. I don’t need unnecessary babblings. Am I clear?”“Yes, Archmaster!” we all
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XX: To the Path of Becoming Stronger
CHAPTER XX: To the Path of Becoming StrongerThis was really a super tiring day. I yawned as my eyes went heavier. I really needed to go to sleep now. Few seconds later, I fell into asleep. But I immediately opened my eyes when I feel something strange.I looked around when I realized that I am dreaming again. I saw Mammon sitting under a huge old withered tree while looking at the violet moon above hugged by dark clouds. Oh, I see, I was not dreaming. This was a part of my subconscious mind and Mammon can exist or manifest here.I came nearer to him and sat on his side without asking for his permission. “Where are we?” I asked. He looked at me. He is in his human form right now. And I got to admit it, he has really a good-looking appearance if he’s a normal human. Though, his violet-colored skin fits him. And it does not affect how handsome he is.Silence enveloped us for a moment before he decided to speak. “We are in my cursed r
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XXI: Demons Attack
CHAPTER XXI: Demons AttackCaya is almost 100 meters away from me. I don't want to fall behind. I was constraining myself to use magic because Archmaster might find about my secret. Though he was not around. We were the only people here. I knew it. I will use my celestial weapon. My Feather of Metamorphosis also turned black when my grace mixed up with Mammon’s curse, however, its ability did not change. It can still change its appearance base on my imagination. Though, I can still optimize its color depending on what I want. “All right, thank you. I will go first,” I told them and then sped up.“Good luck! I hope you lose,” Raid shouted at me and then he laughed.I rolled my eyes. He’s teasing me again. “Get ready for me later!” I sneered at him, and then turned my gaze back to the track.I already called my celestial weapon. I was about to change its appearance but I stopped when I was pr
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XXII: Face Off
CHAPTER XXII: Face OffRaid, Glade, Nicanor and Niklais simultaneously attack Caria— the one who led other demons to invade the Academy. They have left us other opponents, who are constantly coming, even though we are already in the Glade’s celestial realm.One of the enemies are using a dimensional portal magic. I was taken aback when I noticed the umbra space stone hiding in between Caria’s ample breast. How come that stone still existing when in fact I already destroyed it during my last encounter with her? Oh, I see it now! That stone I smashed using my fist back then was just a mere illusion. It explains why Caria can still use space magic and was able to escape from my binding magic. Ugh, that umbra stone was a pain in the ass! It gives me headache.We need to destroy that stone. Caria will unable to transport demons here without that. I cannot just use my spell, Cosmic Darkness, because it will nullify my friends’ magic, too. And b
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XXIII: The Daughter's Sadness
CHAPTER XXIII: The Daughter’s Sadness We pushed each other as we put a strong force on our swords. We were being dragged into different directions while suspended in the air. Who would have thought that the demon I tortured last time can stand a chance against me, right now? Did she become stronger for the past month or was she just concealing her true strength the last time we fought each other? Or did I just underestimate last time we encountered each other? If I don’t want to lose, I should take her seriously. I put a force on my legs and quickly flew towards her. I drove my sword to her, preparing to stab her chest with it; aiming for the umbra stone in between her breasts. But she swiftly disappeared the moment the tip of my sword almost reach her. Then, I was taken aback when I heard her laughing at my back. How did she do that? I step on the air and maneuvered my body to face her. She’s not teleporting from one place to another. She simply controlling the spac
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XXIV: I am Home
CHAPTER XXIV: I am HomeArchmistress Demia stomped her long staff on the ground. Then, a big gray pentagram emerged underneath the cross I am hanging on. She was really serious when she said she will exorcise Mammon inside me. But the only way to do that is to kill his host, meaning she’s planning to kill me.“How dare you hide the truth from us, Cerina! You just have formed a blood pact with a demon? I can’t believe you!” she angrily uttered at me. I lifted my head and looked at her straight in the eyes.“I did it to save my friends. And I don’t regret anything,” I replied to her. She jerked her lips as if she was annoyed by what I have said. I meant everything I have said.“Tch! You did it to save your friends or you did it to acquire more power?” she allegedly accused. What? Is she serious? Why would I lust for more power?I caught them gaping their mouths. I looked at my friends. They seemed
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XXV: Negotiation
CHAPTER XXV: NegotiationI was standing in front of majestic wooden double doors, collecting all the courage within me. I stepped my feet forward and knocked at the door three times. I've heard voices talking inside the room. They were from Archmaster Leonard and Archmistress Demia.After a while, someone opened the door. It was Archmaster Leonard. “Come in, young lady,” he pleasingly uttered with a small curve in his lips.I smiled at him shortly after slightly bowing my head. “Thank you, Archmaster,” I told with a pleasing expression in my face. I heaved a silent sigh before stepping inside.As I walked through the doorway, the first thing I noticed was Archmistress Demia having a tea on the sofa. She looked calm as she turned her gaze at me. Afterwards, she returned her attention to her cup of tea as if she didn’t see me.“Please, have a seat,” Archmaster offered and then led me to the sofa. I sat in fro
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XXVI: Pandemonium
CHAPTER XXVI: PandemoniumI just quietly walked home, sighing for the nth times. I don’t know but I have an instinct that something bad is going to happen. I heaved a deep sigh again. Maybe I was just overthinking again.I met many students on my way home, but I only nodded at them when they greet me. Caya and Suzaine might be wondering where did I go since I didn’t tell them earlier where will be my whereabouts. They were both busy in their rooms so I decided not to disturb them and just leave the house without any word. But knowing Caya, I bet I would be put under a detailed interrogation session later. How I wish she just shut up since I can’t disclose the information we have discussed at Archmaster’s office.I was about to turn into a hallway when I suddenly caught the sight of Deborah leaning against the wall. What is she doing here? It looks like she’s waiting for something. I stopped walking and seemed to be stoned on my feet
