Chapter 28

Devon Solaire's POV
"'Don't be silly!'
"Use your power, stupid!"
"You're missing your line!"
"You're beautiful, but you're slow!"
I just gasped at what I saw. My classmate and I were on the second floor. We finished class earlier. All we are waiting for is lunch.
We're watching the pi-pe now. Nature users, I can see Jales behind their line.
"Ahm, can you tell me a story about Moon Academy?" I suggested to my female classmate who was feeling close to me and had been blabbering on like crazy.
"Okieee. The Moon Acad--"
"What's your name again?" I gently asked him. It was very scratchy on the head. What I hate most about a Lunaphile is that they scratch their heads, not pleasant to look at.
"What are you, Devony. You forgot my name, it's only three letters, I'm Kia. Khiel Indigo Atlanta." I nodded and sighed.
Kia. I'll remember that. "First, I'll say it's not the main Moon Academy. We're only in the second group" I frowned at what he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Moon Academy is mysterious and very magical. We are only in the second group. We are called 'The Newborns' where we train our strength and intellect to rank and get to the main of Moon Academy" he explained.
"Next, the Elite Royals. The first group before us. They have a different uniform than us, more social and elegant. Dun to the Elite Royals, they live like princes and princesses. They are artistic and rugged. Fighting as if. Smart and sharpened in magic is like them. There is also a rank. It's just enviable hayst "I just looked at him earnestly and sighed.
"Eh where are the Elite Royals you say?" I asked.
"In heaven"
"Huh?"
"I mean in the sky, right! The immense island is floating high. There, the Elite Royals" he said and looked down. I looked up. There is no "Invisible" I said and looked at him. He nodded and looked up
"Yeah. Invisible. More protection from the bad guys and then another one, when you step on the Elite Royals, it's like you're not in height because of its size. The main of Moon Academy was beautiful" my eyes narrowed at what he said
"Your one of them" I replied as he turned around and frowned.
"What are you saying?"
"I said your one of them" I repeated and showed him the I.D. Niya. He grinned and also showed I.D. Ko.
"What the--" he didn't continue what he was going to say out of panic because I was also holding an I.D. niya. Royals I.D.
"Khianna Iraq Atlantis, nineteen years old. Rank 36, a Nature user, student of the Elite Royals" I read in I.D. He. He even dropped his jaw.
"Can I join the Elite Royals now?" I asked and smiled at him angrily. He still couldn't believe it
"On how you said those, I'll confirm that you're from Elite." I said and sighed
"How did you get that?" Its eyes are glaring.
I backed away just as he would grab I.D. He held me.
"Not so fast, my dear Khianna. Don't worry I have no intention of letting everyone know that you came down here." I said with a sigh. "But ... what is an Elite Royal doing here?" I asked and sighed.
He stared at me and stared. I knew it, Elite again
"Is that really the attitude of the Elite?" I asked
"You're annoying, but resourceful and smart. I'm here to get ten students to go to the Elite Royals. That's my Mission that Dean Apollo did" he explained. "Give me now my I.D" he said and held out his hand. I gave him an I.D. Niya.
"That one ah! I can't enter the Main M.A. without my I.D.!" He roared angrily.
"Then, make a way. Aren't you elite? I wonder how Mr. Sockey got into the main" I said taking a deep breath, I sigh and showed I.D. By Sockey Evergreen
"Clever you!" he told me to catch my breath again.
"I do" I replied and hid in the pocket of my uniform like a nurse I.D. The two of them and the I.D. Ko. He was so busy that unnoticed I even got the I.D. Ko
"So, how's that, I'll go first. Bye, Khianna or I should say Kia." I said and turned my back on him. Lunch time so I had to go to the dining hall.
"DEVON!" he shouted in anger that only made me gasp.
If so, Main is the real Moon Academy and what I'm doing is just like training.
The mess, hayst.
The question is, who will be the top ten to enter the Elite Royals?
Another day. That day I found Kia was one of Elite Royals, she never attend Healing class. Well, what do I expect? She's Nature User, she won't take long to healing cause she's not used to it.
Again, I'm wearing my nurse uniform with my white gloves and round glasses as I'm heading to dining hall.
I was walking alone in the corridor and only the sound of the heels of my shoes could be heard. Until there's someone's walking too.
"Devon" I look at my side and it's ....
"Crush .... and Shawn" I said and looked to the front. They put me in the middle and they look like bodyguards, I sigh.
Crush is wearing his dark red polo with coat while his both hands are in his pockets, And Shawn is wearing blue polo while his left hand holds his coat and zipped behind it.
"I prefer to be alone" I said gently without looking at them
"Bad Devy ... Tsk tsk tsk ..." Shawn said sarcastically that I just stared
"Why are you keep calling her Devy? It's Devon" said Crush who laughed at Shawn.
"Why do you like her? Well, I like her too" I gasped at Shawn's mischief and I sighed as he walked over to me.
I would have lost that front of Crush and pulled me away from the middle and placed me next to him.
"What's with the two of you?" I asked calmly but I was really annoyed.
"Tsk. That man is so possessive Devy--"
"D.E.V.O.N." Crush said while gritting his teeth as he cut Shawn's words.
He grinned. "It's none of your business, dude. I can call her anything that I want" she defended and smiled at me. "Right Devy?" I sigh in disgusting. Gosh, I can't breath properly with these two.
We were close to the dining hall so I went ahead without noticing them.
"Devy/Devon!" They said in chorus. I was about to turn the doorknob of the dining hall when Shawn preceded me and looked at me annoyed.
He opened it. "Ladies should always first" he said as I sighed and entered. I'm in the middle again and talking or not. I know if you're already fighting. They are really cool in speaking.Throwing painful words in each other.
I went to the Cater and got a plate. I picked up the tong and started choosing food.
"Eat this Devon. It will help you think" Crush said and put some seaweeds on my plate. A type one. I don't know what's that name.
Shawn grabbed my plate and put the seaweeds in its container.
"Here's what you're going to eat. Porcupine steak" I looked at what he said. I don't like it. Yuck.
"She doesn't like that. Here. Monkey brain steak" I seem to like resentment.
I walked away from the two of them and grabbed another plate. I took 3 shanghai with sauce, vegetables salad and bottle of water and fork.
I turned to them and looked around, many students eating, but my eye caught sight of Jales and Wyeth waving at the long table with the rest of our colleagues.
I went there. "Hey" I approach. They turned their attention to me. "Hey, Dev. Sit here" Blessary said and actually pulled me out of the chair. I smiled a bit and sat then put down my food. I took a deep breath and ate.
"How's your day, guys?" said Rein while chewing.
"It's okay to be alive" said Sin so we laughed
"Don't talk if your eating. It's gross" Novel said irritably and glared at Sin who just laughed.
"Chill Noveli-vich" raised an eyebrow at what was heard from Rein
"Did you just call me, B*tch?" He asked glaring.
"Nah. He said vich as in V.I.C.H. not what you think Nov" Blessary explain so I just sighed and took the shanghai then dipped in the sauce and bit into it.
"Oh myy, the two hot and cold are here" I looked at Art who was thrilled.
"Hot and Cold?" i repeat.Hunt tsked and Hafirsa look at me
"It's Crush and Shawn. Those two became famous because they are handsome" Hafirsa explained and drank some water.
I nod and sigh.
"Hey Devy, why did you left me there?"
"Shut up, Ice. Don't disturb Devon, she's eating"
I gasped again at these two.
"Ice? Oh so hot, Fire ... I mean, Dark Fire"
"Shut up you two" Novel moaned angrily and stared at me.
"Nov, stop looking Devon like that" said Blessary.
"Hep hep. Calm down guys. We're here to eat, we're not in court okay" Scale said.
The two sat down and silence prevailed at our table. This is better, I love peace. It makes me more calm.
"Ah btw, I'm just wondering how old you are mwehehe" said Sin
"Why do you even care" Sapphire replied and stared
"Don't be so harsh, Sapphire. I'm 18 years old" Jales replied.
"Tsk. 20" Sapphire
"Only 19" Art
"20, hehe I can only say" Sin laughed
"21" Hunt
"19" Rein
"Same here, 19" Scale
"The most handsome 19 years old" Wyeth
"23" Raven
"19" Hafirsa
"18" Blessary
"18" Novel
"20" Shawn
"19" Crush
I gasped because hayst.
"17" I replied as they turned around
"Wow, you're still young. You're so calm so you look 20 years old hahaha" I was just shaken by Sin's joke. When someone suddenly came in so we all looked on.
It was Kia wearing a dark green gown and it had a flower crown. With..Sockey Evergreen in prince form. Royalties. They even had soldiers with them.
Everyone stood up and bowed so we followed and immediately sat down as well.
"Good day Newborns! We're here for some important announcements AND fetch the selected Top 10 students to become Elite Royalties" Kia said directly to the entire students of the dining hall.
He stepped back and faced Sockey holding the scroll. He laid and it and held it tightly.
"Please stand all the students who I will call" he said
"Crush Schoenberg" Crush immediately stood up
"Farrah Travis"
"Hunt Lautner" Hunt also stood up
"Novel Chopin" as Novel do the same
"Raven Stewart" Raven stood up as well
"Blessary Prada" Blessary stood up happily
"Hafirsa Swan" Hafirsa also stood up
"Shawn Arendelle"
"I thought my name couldn't be called anymore" he said annoyed And stood up.
"Twaila Gozon"
"And ........ Kindred Spirit. Proceed to the Front" ten of them went to the front and they applauded so we went with them.
"They are the Top 10. In every month, we'll get another Top 15 Elite Royals so you're great. It's a pity that one is there ...... Right .... Solaire?" I asked at the same. is how he found out my last name. Sockey Evergreen, you're really something.
"Solaire?" He repeated and looked at me. I shrug and sigh. I have no intention of divulging. They might think I suck, Psh.
"So, pack your things. We'll leave ... now"
I just stared outside while my companions waved in their carriage. Well, pegasus. The cute eh.
"Bye, guys!" Blessary shouted so I waved back.
The chariot was up and running and they were ready to fly up.
There are only five of us left.
"I also want to see the one above" said Jales
"Tsk. Dream on" Sapphire said artfully and left.
"We're going first, Dev" Wyeth and Scale said goodbye.
"I'll be with them, Devon" Jales said goodbye and kissed my cheek. I sigh and nod. The only one with me was Rein
"You know what, Devoni-vich. It's good to go to the Main. You can do that, Solaire" he said and tapped my shoulder then left as well.
I sigh and blink emphatically. But he stopped when he remembered what he had said. Wait-did he, called me by my surname ?!
Hayst. You can now enter the next subject. I walk slowly while bent.It's been a week since I can no longer hear the voice.
Yet, that's better. Hayst No disturbance and noisy.
"Ayy-" I was immediately evaded with a fire ball heading in my direction.
But I'm out of balance because of my 4 inches shoes. I compose myself using snow.
Yes, snow. My Ice is connected to the snow. I stood up and shook myself. I look at the girl who did that. She's smirking and then grin.
I sigh and look at her. We are quite far apart. The strong wind blew.
As the tension builds between us.
"Hi, honey. I'm just paying attention to you" she said in a bored tone
"Ahh" I calmly said and walked towards her for she could have passed but it made a fire barrier.
I look at her and sigh. I hate troubles.
"Any problem ms?" I asked calmly. She smiled devilishly and smirk, i sigh again.
"1 on 1?" he challenged me to shake and turn my two hands away.
"No, thank you. Find someone better" I said and hoped to walk as the fire barrier grew until we were trapped.
It was hot but I can manage. I'm an Ice User, remember?
"You can't run away from me. Just a duel fight, Ms. I'll have to practice so I can join the Elite Royals right away" he explained, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Don't you see, miss? I'm a healer, I heal not fight" I said calmly. Her lips arc in an 'O' shape.
"That's better! You are good for my practicing because your weak" she mockingly said and formed a three fire balls.
"I don't want to fight. Spare me" I gently pleaded but he hit me with fire balls which I immediately avoided. I was almost burned by his fire barrier. I can use my magic because we're doomed and no one can see, but this lady, might be a storyteller.
"Weaklings like you don't belong to Elite Royals. Die in my arms, loser !!! Or be my slave, you can still join me in Elite Royals" she said in condition and formed a big fire ball again. I sigh and intently look at her
"Desperate women like you don't deserve Elite Royals. You're good in your magic, but you don't deserve to be Royal" Her eyes glazed over at what I said and a fireball rained down on me. I avoided all that but the last ball of fire hit my thigh which I complained about. She smiled, but she's tired.
I can't use Ice because he knows I'm a healer. I need to think something, to way out.
"Why are you doing this? I'm not compatible in fighting. Please, spare me" I said and touched my burnt tyan. It was mild, but bleeding.
"No, no, dear. You must suffer. You know what? I've been here for 2 years as Newborns but still haven't been selected. The other way for me to get in is to kill, and that's what I'm doing right now. And if I do that, the power will be stage 2 and I will be selected as the Elite Royals. I will also defeat the strongest of them "he boasted and laughed.
"Your making yourself go to underworld pit, Miss. There are many ways for you to get in there, killing is not a solution" I gently said to make her more distracted. I'm done With my plan without noticing I'm using my Ice. I hope this plan will works.
"Ha! It is! KILLING IS A G*DD*MN SOLUTION! Nothing can stop me! So cut your wisdom words and spare your wasteless life !!" she roared, I sigh. This girl is a hopeless case.
"Make me" I said calmly. She ran towards me and made a fire sword. I prepared myself. My clone is waiting outside. All I need is to die and and turn as a Flurry as my soul to transfer to the clone I made outside.
He didn't notice that because he was carrying a dada.
I moaned and was restrained from screaming at the ache and pain that Miss had stabbed into my thigh. It hurts alot, but atleast, he bites the pa-in and I can get out.
I can't breath properly, and if I stay longer I will run out of breath and weaken.
"You are the last Lunaphile I killed. Any last words since in any seconds you're now a dead meat" he smiled and laughed at the demon. I grin at she made stop laughing. "You've been fooled, Missy" I said as I become Flurry and transferred to my clone.
I sat down with the pain and wounds of my tyan. Even though I was released, the wound I received was still here. The woman was trapped inside her fire barrier. That must have been raging with anger.
I need to get out of here.
I forced myself to stand up and started walking towards the clinic. I"m going to bleed out of it, I actually spit up. I can feel I'm slowly weakening, and my vision is also blurring.
I haven't brought any healing stuff yet. Maybe I can bring it later.
I couldn't really do it anymore, I took the elevator to get to the clinic easily. I pressed the 3rd floor and leaned on the elevator while closing my eyes and holding my wound.
I should think another plan that I don"t get hurt. St*pid Devon!
I heard the elevator's tone. I stood and waited for it to open. I heard noises outside.
As the elevator opened, I lost consciousness.
