ANOTHER LONG CHAPTERRR!
______________________________
Third Person Point of View:
"Wait, what?!"
Akalea exclaims, worried that she might get caught for being the daughter of Lord Akane. "You are the only daughter of Lea Knight, the Empress of the Divine Realm." The guardian says and Akalea could not see that he was lying but she couldn't believe it. Lea Knight, her mother, who she thought is dead is suppose to be a 'norm' that father told her. "No, my mother Lea Knight is dead. She died from a demon attack." Akalea held the egg wanting the warmth as she says this not believing it one bit.
"She's alive. I do not know how you have come to that conclusion but she is in hiding for now because someone attempted a coup d'état in the intention to take over the Divine Realm. Her highness and us guardians who escaped with her figured that the person who attacked her highness was in league with the The Nether Realm..." The guardian was cut off when Akalea called out to him.
"Mr. Guardian, hold up. I'm confused by what you're saying right now. What Divine Realm? Nether Realm? What? I understand what you said that my mom is alive but please elaborate more on those two realms." Akalea says with a hand on her head while the other holding the golden egg tightly.
"Also please stand up. You doing that is making me uncomfortable." Akalea says quickly and gently grabbing his arm to help him up. The guardian was confused as to why he should stand up in front of the princess but he obliged to not make her uncomfortable. "Uhm, where to start..." The guardian says as he stood properly with his hand to his chin, thinking.
"Oh, there are actually three realms here in Earth. Divine Realm, Middle Realm and Nether Realm. We are in the Middle Realm right now. The Divine Realm is up top, like the sky and the Nether Realm is down below, underground. The Divine Realm consists the Holy Kingdom of holy beings like angels, fairies and such. They also have a system here in the Middle Realm as well does the Nether Realm having this system. The system like Warriors, Knights, Assassin and Healers but the Nether Realm has another category and that's Necromancy, bringing the dead back and becoming the necromancer's army of the dead. The Nether Realm consists of the Dark Kingdom where it has demonic beings like demons, vampires, the undead and something like that. The three realms were in peace for a long long time but in the recent years, bad situations and premonitions form our oracle keep happening and keep on coming for we don't know what the reasons are..."
The guardian trails off with his hand on his head trying to ease the stress on himself. "We were in our counsel room discussing about possible reasons and objectives of these bad situations when we were attacked by someone we do not know who. We just saw a lot of demons and vampires attacking the Holy Kingdom that we were in. It was a good thing we and those we rescued have evacuated to a safe place as the attack was happening. You're mother gave me the mission of handing this golden egg to you and gave me the location where you were at. Then I was being chased earlier and here we are." The guardian says with a nervous smile with his hand on the back of his neck.
"Okay..." Akalea lets out as she tries to understand everything he said. Three realms. Us in the middle realm. Mother is alive. She's the empress of the Divine Realm. They were attacked and they fled to a safe place. She gave the task to Mr. Guardian here to give me this warm egg. He was attacked and I helped him and here we are. Yeah, its not that much for me not to take in.... Yeah right.... Akalea looks at the guardian after she thinks to herself.
"So you're saying my mom's alive, you guys were attacked, she gave you this egg to give it to me and here we are?" Akalea asks, summarizing everything and the guardian nods his head. "So, after this you're going to leave? To go back to my mother because if so, can you tell her that I'm happy that she's alive and why now is she revealing herself that she's ali-" Akalea was cut off cause the guardian spoke out. "She also gave me the mission to protect you so I'm not leaving nor going back yet."
The guardian says which Akalea slowly nods her head. "I mean I can't just let you guys inside the academy since that would bring unwanted attention....." Akalea tries to think of a solution in which case should end up letting the headmaster, Luke, know about them. Then, an idea popped into her mind. Since I used healing earlier, I used nine different powers and is left with one. I should make a cottage out of earth here in the cliff for them to stay in for the meantime.
Akalea held her golden egg to her body as she walks away from the cliff a bit which the siblings and the guardian was confused as she didn't say anything but just walked away so they followed. Akalea stops and turns around, facing the cliff and she started to feel ripples within her body and she directed it onto her palm as the ground shook beneath them. The guardian and the siblings were panicking as they did not know why the ground was shaking.
Slowly the ground from the cliff started to grow out and slowly forms into a cottage good for three people. The details on the cottage was amazing to look at to the eyes of the guardian and the siblings. the insides were filled with soft grass beds where they can sleep in and a little fireplace to keep them warm but the siblings and the guardian should get some firewood first to light up anything and get their own food.
"Wow!" Zoey says, amazed by the cottage. "You guys stay here in the meantime. I'll try to get the headmaster here by tomorrow night." Akalea says then used her concealing/masking powers that she used on herself to the cottage to conceal it to the eyes of other people. Only the four of them can see it for now. "I haven't got your name yet, Mr. Guardian." Akalea says as she turns to face the guardian. "Oh, I'm Colton Maverick. I'm 23." The guardian says as he bows which Akalea looks at the guardian, uncomfortable at what he did.
"Okay, Colton. If you're going to protect me and whatnot, you should drop that bowing, saying princess and those for royal stuff when you're with me. Its not that I don't like it but its uncomfortable with me because I like people around me to be open and free." Akalea says and pushes the guardian up by his shoulder to make him stand up. Colton just smiles at Akalea and nods his head.
"This is Zeke and Zoey. They were once with those black clothed people but they're my companions now and so are you. I would like it if you can train them while you're at it so they can protect themselves better. Is it alright with you?" Akalea introduces the siblings to Colton and Colton nods his head at the end.
"You guys stay safe. I'll be right back tomorrow with the headmaster." Akalea says and she waves goodbye to the three, leaving them by the cottage as she emerged with the forest. Akalea was walking back to the academy and was thinking about the whole thing that happened. In the end, what concerned her was the egg clutched in her arms as it might bring unwanted attention. Akalea held the egg as she walks, concentrating on the egg to merge with her body to leave it there in the meantime till the egg hatches will she then let it out.
The egg begins to slowly vanish, merging within her body like a storage ring. By the time Akalea was back on the academy's field, the egg fully merges into her body and she walks straight to the double doors, heading inside the academy. She quickly makes her way up to her room, avoiding people she sees and comes in contact with.
She arrives inside her room and just flops onto the bed, her eyes closed and sleep took her away.
The next morning... Last day of January 2017..... A Tuesday.....
Akalea woke up to knocking on her door, she opens her eyes and pushes her body to sit up on the bed. She rubs her eyes and slowly stood up, walking to the door, changing her eye color and sealing her powers and scent. She sluggishly opens the door to see who it was and saw it was the twins. "Hi.." Akalea greets the twins as she rubs her eye, still a bit sleepy. This looked cute to the eyes of the twins. "Hey, sorry to wake you up. We just want to talk to Lisa for a bit then we can go get breakfast together." Shawn says with an apologetic smile while Dawn's face void of emotion.
"Yeah, sure. You can come in." Akalea says and leaves the door open to let the twins inside, them closing the door behind them as she walks to the bed, seeing Lisa waking up. "Your brothers are here to catch up with you. I'll be getting ready." Akalea says as Lisa nods her head, hearing what Akalea said. Akalea walks her way to the closet to pick out her clothes. She took out her outfit and a towel and immediately went inside the bathroom.
She did her business and wore her outfit while hearing the twins and Lisa talking and catching up. After Akalea was done, she got out and what she wore was a black stretchy leather leggings, black fitted tank top which hugged her upper body, sports bra and undies in the inside and a towel around her hair. The twins and Lisa were talking and as they turn to look at Akalea, their voices died down at the sight of her arms.
Akalea sensed something as she look at them look at her so she looks down and remembered the markings on her arms. "What is that? You didn't have that yesterday." Shawn says as the three siblings look at Akalea's arms filled with markings. "When I was getting my categories, my hand sucked the colored lights inside the Crystal of Light and for some reason I felt warmth surrounding my arms and back that time and saw markings on my arm."
Akalea says and walks to the big mirror in the corner to look at herself. Now that Akalea's back was facing the siblings, they gasped in shock. "You're back..." Dawn says, mesmerized by the markings on her back since he also has like tattoos on his body cause he likes them. "They kinda look like wings on the back spreading to your arms." Lisa says as she looks closely and indeed, the markings were wings.
Akalea turns around to look at her back on the mirror and she could see the wings marking. Akalea didn't feel weird but she smiled at the details and markings, this made her excited. "It looks cool." Akalea says and the siblings nod their heads, agreeing with her. The twins were looking at Akalea with a twinkle in their eyes, not only were they amazed by Akalea's markings but were also blushing as they look at Akalea's form. Her body being hugged by her clothes, revealing her toned and curvy body.
"You should wear long sleeves to hide your markings. We should find something about that." Dawn says as he and Shawn look away to avoid blushing even further. Akalea turns to look at the siblings, the twins looking away and Lisa wriggling her eyebrows at her with a smile. By now, the four of them were walking down the hallways after Akalea wore a black long sleeved shirt and dried her hair, fixing it.
They were walking towards the cafeteria for breakfast and were talking amongst themselves. Akalea was more comfortable after yesterday's happenings. She felt comfortable as she had her head up and looking all happy with the siblings. As they were walking, the students who were around them stopped what they were doing and look at Akalea, being the only student with a quadruple category on her first day. Some were jealous, some were amazed and some just don't care.
Akalea and the siblings arrived at the cafeteria and the sound of the double doors caught everyone's attention and were looking at Akalea who opened them. Akalea didn't mind the stares and just walks directly to the food area as the siblings followed suit. They got their food and the cafeteria was still silent until a hand shot up, waving at them. "We're here!" Dean waves his hand as he yells for the three, can't see Lisa, to come sit with them.
The four made their way to the Rankers' table and sat with them. The silence in the cafeteria when back to the normal noisiness and chatter. Akalea begins to eat her food after they greeted each other. Akalea and the Rankers were talking among themselves as Lisa went to where Jero was at to hang out with him.
After breakfast, the students went out of the cafeteria to go to their classes. The seniors was going to theirs. Akalea with the Rankers behind the other students. Akalea didn't see Emily with the Rankers so she thought she's not coming but by the time they arrived inside the History room, they see Emily inside already sitting in her spot.
The Rankers' were surprised to see Emily, who doesn't appear in classes if she likes like it, inside the classroom. Everyone was seated in their spots and Mr. Barnes came in at the right time. "Oh, hello, Ms. Emily. A surprise to see you here." Mr. Barnes says sarcastically as he knows Emily rarely shows up to his classes from the years before.
Emily just smiles and shrugs her shoulders. Mr. Barnes starts his class right away. "I would like to announce that basically for the first half of this school year's semester, we'll have history classes while the second half will be you guys training in your categories along with Skills Enhancement, Combat and Power Training. You're categories will have an instructor teaching you with your categories so you guys can know everything about your category. However, Ms. Akalea, being the only quadruple categorized student, headmaster Luke will appoint an instructor for you only as you can't go to every category's classes since it will be of inconvenience for you."
The students begin to whisper among themselves and Akalea ignored them, nodding her head to Mr. Barnes. "But since we still have the first half, let's begin History, shall we?" Mr. Barnes says and smiles at his students who were grunting. The hour of history class went by rather fast as the bell rang, the students piling out of the classroom to get to the gym as P.E was next.
The male and female students scatter to their changing rooms to change to their uniform. Akalea wore her long sleeve under her uniform as it was short sleeved, so she can hide her markings. Once everyone was wearing their uniform, they got out of the changing rooms and into the gym where Mrs. Barnes was standing in the center. "Dawn, please lead the warm ups before we start the class." Mrs. Barnes says and plays some music. Dawn went to the center as the other students surround him in a circle. They did their warm ups, the female trying to catch Dawn's attention or the other males' while the males were up in their own world, flexing and some flirted with the females.
Akalea and the Rankers were minding their own business as they warm up. Unbeknownst to Akalea, Dawn was secretly sneaking some glances to look over to Akalea so did were the other Rankers. After the warm ups, Mrs. Barnes went to the center as Dawn went back to his spot earlier, next to Akalea. Seeing this, most of the female students were jealous and some loathed her. "We'll be doing some sit ups, pull ups and cardio. 200 sit ups, 200 pull ups and 20 laps of running."
Mrs. Barnes gave her one of a kind smile as the students were grunting and groaning from those while Akalea and the Rankers just nod their heads. "On the left, there are mats on the floor for the sit ups and you should partner up. On the right, there are bars for which you use to do pull ups. Around these two areas will be for the 20 laps. You guys can choose which one to do first. Now, go." Mrs. Barnes says and the students scatter. The Rankers partnering up for the sit ups and the other students went to what they wanted to do first. Some started to run laps, some with the pull ups and some with the sit ups.
Akalea wanted to do the sit ups first but she couldn't find a partner until a tap on her shoulder made her turn around. "Need a partner?" Dawn's cold and deep voice asks Akalea as he looks around, not looking at her directly. "You don't have one?" Akalea asks and she looks at the Rankers, Shawn and Troy, Dean and Marcus, Bach and Zachary, Alice and Eve and surprisingly Amy and Emily are partnered up leaving Dawn with no partner.
"Oh.. Sure." Akalea looks back to Dawn who is now looking back at her and says this to him. They both went to an empty mat and sat on it. "You want to go first?" Dawn asks, surprisingly gentle when he asked Akalea. "Yeah, okay." Akalea says and begins to lay down, her knees bent up and her feet on the ground. Dawn kneels on her feet to keep her body from moving away and puts his hands on her knees.
Akalea and Dawn positioned themselves before Akalea could start her sit ups. Akalea did her first sit up and to her surprise, as she sits up, her face was inches away from Dawn's. Dawn's eyes went wide and he leaned his upper body backwards in shock. Dawn starts to cough and look away as Akalea just blushed, her heart beating fast and went back down to continue her sit ups. It was like that the whole time until Akalea was done. "Okay, your turn!" Akalea says and sits up quickly. Dawn sits on his butt and lays down on the mat pushing his knees us and Akalea kneeling on his feet, hands on his knees.
Dawn starts to do his sit ups while Akalea made a little bit of space between them so as to not let what happened earlier happen again. As Dawn was doing his sits up, Akalea heard someone calling her. She turns to look to see Shawn and Troy looking at them. "Hurry it up you two! We'll wait for you to finish!" Shawn says as he and Troy laugh at Akalea and Dawn as they were the only ones left as the other Rankers were done and the mats were replaced by the other students.
"Okay-" Akalea was cut off as she felt someone breathing on her neck, this sent shivers down her body. Akalea turns to see where the breath came from and when she turns to look, her nose touched someone else's nose as they face were close. Dawn was taking a little break and was sitting up, breathing slowly on Akalea's neck on purpose to get her attention.
He didn't know why he did that on purpose but since he caught her attention, he was satisfied and begin to do his sit ups again. His heart fluttering with tingles with a smile on the inside. Akalea was left looking at Dawn, dazed and shocked from what happened. She shakes her head to snap herself out of it. After a little bit, Dawn was done with his sit ups and Akalea quickly stood up, looking anywhere but Dawn.
Akalea pushes out her hand to help Dawn up. Dawn looks at her hand and a little smile got out as he takes her hand, getting up. Shawn, Troy and the other Rankers saw that Akalea and Dawn were done, waving at them to hurry up and go to them. Akalea was about to walk to them when she suddenly felt herself being dragged by hand by the one and only Dawn who didn't let go of her hand. The students and the Rankers were shocked by what Dawn did. It was not like Dawn to hold someone's hand.
He would grab people by the wrist or the arm but not the hand. This was new to everyone and to Dawn as well. Once Dawn and Akalea were with the Rankers, Dawn lets go of Akalea's hand and went to the bars to do his pull ups without saying anything. The Rankers shrug their shoulders and thought 'Typical Dawn'. "Come on." Shawn says, leading the Rankers and Akalea to empty bars to do their pull ups.
Akalea went to an empty spot which was between Dawn and Shawn, not surprising Akalea anymore. She pulls on the sleeves of her long sleeve to stop her sleeves from falling and revealing her markings. She put her hands on the bars with the sleeves in between and begins doing her pull ups. Her arms beginning to numb and ache in between her pull ups. Akalea smiles at the aching and numbing of her arms.
Reminds her of her father. A memory came to her and it was when she was still 10 years old. "Come on, baby! You can do it! One more! One more!" Her father cheering on the 10 year old Akalea who was struggling to do her 50th pull up cause her arms were numb and aching from the last 49 pull ups. Her father kept cheering her on to encourage her and when little Akalea finally did her last pull up, her father swoop her in his arms and they twirl around with happiness but to Akalea the twirling made her dizzy since she just did the pull ups and vomited in the end.
Akalea laughs at the memory of her father apologizing to her multiple times as her little self vomited. Akalea was laughing as she did her 200th pull up, finishing her pull ups faster than the Rankers. The Rankers were shocked that she finished faster than them and that she was laughing. "What were you laughing at?" Eve asks as she continues her pulls ups while Akalea stops laughing and looks at Eve then at the rest of the Rankers and students on the bars.
"Oh, I laughed out loud, didn't I?" Akalea asks and they nod at her. "Sorry. I was just remembering something funny from before." Akalea rubs her neck as she laughs nervously at them. After that, the Rankers on the bars finishes up their pulls up and were now running their laps.
Akalea and the Rankers were running side by side, their paces stable and good but fast. In no time, they finished their laps and were taking a break until the time runs out. Some students were still doing sit ups, pull ups or running laps. Akalea wipes her sweat with the uniform's shirt. The bell rang at that moment which made Mrs. Barnes clap her hands and motions everyone to stop and go wash up and change for the next class.
The students scatter to their changing rooms to shower and change. Akalea finished her shower and wore her outfit from earlier, with the long sleeved shirt. She washed the sweat filled long sleeved shirt when she showered and dried it quickly with wind. Akalea walks out of the changing rooms with Amy, Alice and Eve just as Dawn, Shawn, Troy, Bach, Zachary, Marcus and Dean went out of theirs. They met in between and walked together to Skills Enhancement class.
They arrived at the double doors and got out of the academy to the open field with the weapons on each of their areas. Akalea and the Rankers walk towards where they see Kint was at while the other students were catching up with the Rankers and Akalea. Once everyone was in front of Kint, Kint smiled at them and begin to say something.
"We will do something different today. Behind me are three obstacles which I created at the crack of dawn. An obstacle for Archery, Throwing and Swords. Each of you need to get at least 20 points out of 30 points to pass this class today. Those who didn't get 20 and over, will have to repeat until they can get 20 or over. The person who'll get the highest points out of everyone will receive 1 gold. As to why its 1 gold when yesterday it was 10 gold. Well, I didn't expect to spend 10 gold yesterday due to a certain someone because I didn't really expect anyone to beat a Ranker. So today and onwards, it'll be 1 gold. The criteria for getting of points will be based on your speed, accuracy, strategy and critical thinking or how fast you react to unexpected hits. Since I'm the only one here, I want Dawn and Shawn to help me with checking over the points. Don't worry, they'll get to do the obstacles as well but they'll be the last ones. First should be Archery, Throwing then Swords. One student should do these obstacles alone. I'll supervise the Archery, Shawn with the Throwing and Dawn with the Swords. Now, let's start, shall we?"
After the long announcement of Kint, everyone but Akalea and the Rankers started to panic and were hesitating to go first or even try it as the obstacles look hard and also unpredictable. Kint gave two paper sheets to Dawn and Shawn to write on for the points as they each went to their positions beside the obstacle they're going to supervise at. Akalea and the Rankers await for those who wanted to go first but to their dismay, none of the other students want to go first.
Just then, a figure began to walk to the Archery seeming they'll be the first. It was Emily. "Everyone should wear the gears to protect yourselves." Kint says and the students went to where the gears were at, even Emily wore it. Emily went back to Kint to start Archery with the aura being confident of herself that she can get a high score or probably the highest is what she's thinking.
Emily walks to the starting line of the obstacle and Kint shouts "Go!" Emily begin to dash towards the bow and arrow laid on the side, seeing the target moving side to side, far away at the back. The Archery obstacle consists of shields to take cover in where there's two machines firing arrows towards the student doing the obstacle. The student should be able to shoot at the target will the obstacle come to an end. Either the student will do long range or go closer to get a better shot.
Emily realizes this and takes cover to a nearby shield as the machines kept firing at the shield she's behind in. Emily was struggling to find the right timing. Suddenly, the two machines stop firing to reload more arrows and Emily used this chance to dash forward and pull the arrow back on the bow. Right at that moment, one of the two machines fired out an arrow unexpectedly, aiming at Emily's arm to graze her a little bit. Emily was off guard and released her arrow on impulse, trying to avoid the arrow coming towards her.
The arrow grazed her arm as Emily falls down on the ground, she sees her arrow hit the target on the far left which wasn't to what Emily had expected. Emily cursed under her breath as she stood up, taking hold of her grazed arm where blood was slowly gushing out. "4 points!" Kint yells out as he writes on his paper as the rest of the students were whispering to each other at how hard it is that even Emily the fourth Ranker was struggling at the first obstacle while Akalea and the rest of the Rankers watch intently.
Emily cursed out again as she walks towards the next obstacle, Throwing. At the starting point, three daggers and a spear were laid out in front for the student to choose which one to use. Three Sack Men(just like Sand Man but Sack ones) in front, two equipped with daggers and one was equipped with a spear. The four sack men have to defend the target from being punctured by the student's dagger or spear.
Emily used her regeneration power, which can also heal, to heal the grazed wound on her arm as she begins to strategize on how to hit the target while defending herself from the armed sack men. Shawn was watching from the sides to supervise and give his points. "Go!" Shawn yells out and Emily dashes towards the spear and grabs the hilt as the two sack men came running towards her to swing their daggers at her while the one with the spear stayed behind.
Emily dodges and rolls to her side to avoid the sack men's dagger. Emily then stood up and ran towards teh sack man with the spear and made a swing to hit it. The sack man smashes his own spear to block Emily's and from there, it was a battle of strength. Emily was struggling and saw that the other two sack men were running towards her, she pushes her hand out and with telekinesis, she tried to lift the sack man with the spear and throw him towards the other two sack men. She successfully did it as the three sack men crashed into each other as Emily quickly punctures the target with her spear, catching her breath as using telekinesis left her breathless.
"7 points. Using powers is a minus." Shawn says as he scribbled it down. He was suppose to give an 8 but on the paper he has, it said using of powers is a minus. "What?! Using powers is a minus?!" Students begin to share their thoughts to Kint and he tries to calm them down. Akalea and the Rankers nod their heads, hearing of the no powers. "This class is suppose to enhance and improve your skills on weapons, you speed, accuracy, strategy and critical thinking. Using your power or powers is a minus and are minuses. More powers you use, the more minuses you get." Kint sternly says and the students couldn't bicker back.
Emily cursed again as she walks towards the Swords obstacle. "Did you guys bring your swords with you?" Kint asks and the students went rigid from hearing him ask that. Kint looks at them and he shakes his head. "I'll give you time to grab them. 5 minutes only. If you aren't back by 5 minutes you'll have a minus per minute." Kint says and every student went running back to their rooms, some even used their powers to speed up or teleport while others were just running. The rankers were calm as they already have their swords with them already. Akalea was shocked at how they have the swords when they didn't have it when they were together.
"How-" Akalea was cut off. "The swords we chose have the power to materialize into something we like. Like rings, bracelets or necklaces. We made ours rings. So when we say 'Come', the sword materializes back to its original self." Marcus explains and this left Akalea nodding her head, learning something new. Then, Akalea realized her sword is back in her room. Akalea was about to start running when she felt her arm being tugged back.
"Here I'll help you." Akalea looks back and sees it was Troy, tugging on her arm gently. Troy bends down for Akalea to get on his back. The Rankers and Kint were amused with this as Troy is a serious type of person and does what he thinks is right. Shawn and Dawn were looking at the two as Akalea hopped on his back after hesitating a bit. Troy held Akalea's legs around his waist tightly. "Hold on tight." Troy says and Akalea did what he said. She held on tight and Troy begin to speed his way to Akalea's room. Not a minute passed by when they both arrived by Akalea's room door.
"That was awesome! Oh, right!" Akalea praises Troy and remembers her sword. She ran inside her room and grabs the sword which was beside her bed. She runs back to Troy and asked him how to make her sword into a ring. "Just think of a ring in your mind as you hold your sword while putting in some of your power inside it. It will transform then." Troy says and Akalea did what he said. She thought of a ring and poured a little power into the sword and the sword begins to materialize into a ring unto her right ring finger. Akalea watches the whole process and was amazed.
She couldn't say anything else as she gets back on Troy and they speed their way back to the field where everyone else were waiting. They arrived on time and Akalea hopped down while thanking Troy, seeing some of the students on the field running back. Kint was writing down on his paper on those who were late as he motions Emily to continue. Emily has her sword in her hand as she looks at the targets in front.
"Those Sack Men have targets around their bodies. You have to strike or stab those targets for them to fall and once you finish them all will you be done with everything." Kint says and Emily nods her head, ready. Dawn watches carefully with cold eyes. Emily glances at Dawn who was looking at the obstacle. Emily's heart churned in pain seeing that Dawn never once look at her nor talk to her the way he looks at and talk to Akalea who just suddenly appeared.
Emily felt pain and anger in her and when Dawn yelled "Go!" was when Emily darted towards the target, finding the targets within their bodies. There were like five of Sack Men equipped with swords that the student has to defeat. Emily fights with them, sword clashing, Emily's sword puncturing the targets on the Sack Men and finishes the obstacle.
"9 points." The deep and cold voice of Dawn's let out as he jots it down and Emily just left the obstacle to sit outside to rest. "Ms. Emily got 20 points over 30. Who's next?" Kint says and asks in the end as students were contemplating whether to do it or not. One by one, students tried to complete each of the obstacles where there were many instances of almost dying but there were no deaths. Most of the students failed while some barely got 20.
The Rankers and Akalea was left. The Rankers did the obstacles, their points ranging from 20-25 which were good points. Marcus and Dean got 25, Troy, Amy and Zachary got 23, Bach and Eve got 22 while Alice got 21 and Emily got 20. Emily got the lowest since she was the go instead of waiting and strategizing first, which was her mistake.
Akalea was about to go next when she was stopped by both Dawn and Shawn. "Since there are three of us left, can we go first before Akalea does? So we can finish ours and so we can supervise hers as last." Shawn asks and says to Kint who was nodding his heads since they're the last three. Akalea was wondering what was up their minds when they were thinking about this.
Let's just wait and see....
