Chapter 25: Embarrassed Lucas
Lucas, Moon, and Doll rushed down to the hall as the emcee commenced the start of the White Day High's Founding Anniversary. It seemed that the three of them were the only remaining people left. Moon and Doll headed in the other direction as Lucas was left as he started to rethink what Doll had told them.
There were assassins from Aspho that wanted to know who those students Principal Lyns was handpicking. For what? To be prepared for the tournament? To know whom to block and whom to defeat? Such cheaters.
He started slowing down his pace and walked in silence through the gate of the gymnasium and as he approached closer to the doors where the anniversary slash assassin hunting was being held. He was slowly hearing several noises from the people inside— chatting, laughing, clinking sounds of champagne glasses, footsteps from their shoes ringing on the marble floor.
Chapter 26: Love Team in the MakingLucas can hear that the ceremony from the gymnasium was going on still. As it continued, he was at a secluded area with Moon. He can see the whole stage even from afar, as he was facing the other direction in comparison to how Moon stared at him earlier. Suddenly, he heard his cousin chuckle at the words he previously said. It seemed that it was a joke for him.What was there to laugh about? His mood gradually turned back into normal as he overlooked Doll that was currently climbing the stairs after being called by the emcee. She held the hem of her skirt as she stepped on towards the stage as she walked elegantly.Amidst the events, they were staring at Doll that was now onstage. Curious about his cousin's reaction, Lucas looked back and saw some gratefulness from Moon's face, a look that spoke for itself; genuine happiness that Doll was handpicked.His cousin loo
Chapter 27: The Loss that Caused a LifeThe Founding Anniversary finished earlier than Lucas had expected. Or maybe, he was just overthinking what had happened to him that night; his worst night. Those people roasted him as he had expected. He was right; that is what will happen when all of the people found out the truth.All of them hated him now. On his mind, he deserved all of this. Yet, it wasn't the only one he thought about after exiting the Anniversary. How he had seen Doll yesterday… he should neglect that sensation, or else, he will create another trouble that he can't afford to have.But above of those problems he currently has, his vision became intacted again into winning the game for the whole White Day High. He will fight for their school. Why were those stakeholders even angry at someone that was handpicked and was a few inches away from joining the tournament? They should be thankful.
Chapter 28: The Girl from the SickbayWhile walking on the canopy of the White Day High to find Moon anywhere in here, Lucas has Doll by his side as they wandered. He kept himself quiet, or maybe he was shut because of an unknown reason.Given Doll's presence and that the two of them were alone this time, Lucas felt strange. He didn't know what made him feel that way. But as long as he kept himself quiet and his gaze onto elsewhere, he thought to himself that he can mend it.The information he had heard from Doll was still fresh on his mind. Now, he was not aware of where Principal Lyns or Coach Clive currently resides. Important people like them never wandered carelessly within places like this.It was afternoon already and at some time, they can go home. He didn't know but this day was kinda boring. After finding out some important things regarding the tournament, it didn't create an impact on him.
Chapter 29: Respect Begets RespectIn a white room.It was the room where Lucas spent his day until he was healed from his Null Room incident: the Infirmary Room. Again, he was there, laying on a bed with Moon. Time after time and he had gotten into so much trouble. Not to mention that Principal Lyns restricted all of the participants to move without her permission.Visible wounds and bruises marked the skins of the two boys laying on their beds. At the corner of the room, two people waited for them to be awakened again; to talk with them about what had happened. Those two were a boy and a girl.The woman was Pea Hardshell, a member of the Three Beasts. She was known to be the muse of the school, though she wasn't convinced if she deserved to be hailed with that recognition. She wore a hoodie that separated its upper part as pink, and the lower part as cobalt blue.She happened t
Chapter 30: Just a Mere DisturbanceThe renovated canteen remained the same as the previous one, still the same structure and design. The only difference was that the securities became tighter, and the people who can enter it had lessened. It looked like the school didn't want to have a crowded canteen and a stampede again in case of emergencies like before.The tables that were lined up into rows previously became circular that was surrounded by chairs. At a table, Lucas sat there, facing the Headmaster Nova. He didn't know what was his plans, but right now, their aims started to unite into a single goal: to save Doll.At his side was Moon that was not in a mood to listen to the plans they were talking to; with Ghaile and Winter accompanying them with their plan-making since they were worried about Doll; the Headmaster wanted to have Winter with them since he trusted her.Their search party was comp
Chapter 31: Escaping the Sky PrisonMister Vacio was standing at the floor beyond the room Doll was tied up to. The passage to that chamber was left opened, as he eyed the helpless Doll laying on the floor full of ashes. He was leaving her already.Doll stared at him as if wondering. The things that he said… What was that? CorpseBoy? What the actual crap was happening? What was Vacio planning?"Wait!" she exclaimed, thus making Vacio looked over her.She had thought of a plan to break free. Now that the chair wasn't intacted anymore with the floor, she can walk over but she has to keep it with herself. She knew this Vacio had some boneheadedness in him. If she perform her plan the way she yearned it to be, things will come off well."I want to leave. Please release me." she ordered with a calm voice, as if making Vacio soft with her pleading. "I have to go to the bathroom."She made her eyes somehow like a puppy, and begged again, gawking at Mister Vacio.Vacio stared at him in noncha
Chapter 32: Aforementioned BlazeLucas looked over the voice from above. As he reared from the ground floor of the thin building before them, he saw a familiar face as he continued rearing through the middle of the structure. It was Mister Vacio, reeling at the middle of the sky prison.His face was twisted in pain and Lucas was unaware what had happened to him; also, he has no interest on knowing it. What ignited his anger was this man's presence. He was here again, right before his eyes."I swear vengeance on you, Lucas, and I will show you my true goal: one that was pure evil!" Mister Vacio shouted from above, still continuing his rally.He stared at his helpless face. That face was so irritating as always. But it excited him that he can use his powers this time in a combat that he will be useful. At any time, he was ready to fight this sucking man."I will take responsibility for this…" Lucas vocalized to his team, blocking their ways as he stood. "Get Doll back to his father! Lea
Chapter 33: That Was a Nice ShowLucas was still on immense pain. He continuously coughed hard as he held onto his chest, laying on the ground. He couldn't process what he had learned with the pain he was feeling. What he has on mind was why the pain so sudden?The pain remained in his chest like the hole on Vacio's book. But what he said shouldn't be true. It must be a deceiving trap ane he won't fall for that kind of stuff."Just admit it."He heard Vacio spoke. But as he tried to glance over him, his vision remained black and his ears were ringing with a strange noise. He covered his ears with both of his hands, but the noise wasn't ceasing already."You're lying! You're lying!" he became outrageous. "How come the hole on that book and this pain a firm proof? Don't try to coat your lies!"Vacio stood straight on his ground, staring on the boy front of him. He smiled as he stared at his helpless state. The pain he had caused him was intense, and he was quite surprised that Lucas has
