Third Person's POV
Dymitri woke up earlier than he thought, after he saw his alarm clock at the top of his drawer, he whined after seeing the time 5:47 am. He usually wakes up 6:00 or 6:10 in the morning but, he didn't bother.
He pushed himself to stand up and changed his dress and immediately wore. He changed into sweatpants and an oversized hoodie which the ends were hanging above his knees. He fixed his eyeglasses and tied up his long hair into a tiny bun. After seeing his appearance in his full-length mirror, he grabbed his phone and wallet and went out.
He went to the fields as he began to walk with a medium pace until he found himself jogging. It's his first time to exercise after his first day he came here.
As he looked around, he saw a few other students jogging along too. He already knows that the academy has a gym center but he didn't bother to go there to exercise and train. A simple jogging can make and feel him better.
As time pass by, he was getting bored by doing jogging and he wants to distract himself. He remembered his pair of earphones that he put in his locker a day before yesterday. He smiled at the thought and the fact that he's near in the locker room, he jogged his way into the building to fetch his earphones.
Upon his arrival, the whole corridors are quite, except for his tapping sound that made by his shoes. When he entered the room, he immediately went to his locker and punched his code, taking the earphones and locked it shut. He was about to go out when he noticed a shadow near the corner of the room. Due to his curiosity, he followed it, silently. He peeked a little and gasp after seeing someone he really know near a locker that he doesn't own.
"Ali?" He blurted out, as he stepped in. The boy, Ali was startled, causing him to slip some stickers in his hands and fell it to the cold floor.
"Gosh Demi, you scared the hell out of me." He murmured, enough to Dymitri to hear.
He immediately took the stickers in the floor, together with Dymitri who offered help.
"What are you doing here?" Ali asked him after they all took the colorful and sparkling stickers in different shapes and sizes.
"I took my earphones, you?" The kid replied and gave the stickers he took to his friend.
"Well...." Dymitri noticed something behind Ali, which made him to furrow his eyebrows.
"What are you doing to Prince's locker?" Dymitri asked in complete confusion.
"N-nothing! I'm j-just passing by." He said while his face is in shade of red.
"Okay." Despite of Dymitri is not convinced, he just nodded in response and didn't mind what he said.
"Okay Demi, I'll heading out now. I have something to do. See you later. Bye!" Ali waved his hand and hurriedly walked out.
"Bye." Muttered waving his hand in the running away Khalil.
"Phew, that was close." Ali thought running away.
Meanwhile,
The kid went back to his work and he continued his jogging routine. Upon he crossed his way in the great lawn, there are some students starting to work there, building something. He decided to to go there and checked his fellow students.
The moment he stepped closer to them, he immediately knew the answers. The students are starting to build their booths for the upcoming festival. Indeed, 9 days remaining before the festival comes so they should build their booths now and prepare for their other plans and work for it.

Suddenly, the thought of Taylor's plan crosses to Dymitri's mind. He immediately shook his head upon remembering Taylor's words.
There's no way I'll do that.
He jogged away and went to the cafeteria. He's already feeling hungry and the fact that he took already an hour for his jog, he decided to enter the hall which is quite noisy because of some students who are already talking to their friends while eating their breakfast.
He ordered some pancakes, eggs, bacons, and toasted bread and also a glass of milk. After paying up, he went to a table, distant to the others were loud and laughing. He began to eat at piece, he reached his glass of milk and supposed to drink it when he caught a glimpse of someone in front of him. When he lifted his eyes, he saw the Ace, smiling brightly at him as he put his tray to the table.
"Morning kiddo." He greeted and sat at the chair across the kid.
"Hello." The kid muttered, bowing his head slightly as a sign of respect. He suddenly heard something tapped in the table beside him and when he turned his head, he saw the King at his side, looking at him but eventually, he pulled a chair beside the kid and sat there.
Dymitri gulped the lump that stuck on his throat. As his head turned to the Ace and to the King and so on and so forth. Confused, asking himself,
"What's going on? Why are they here?"
"Don't do that kiddo, you look like a confused puppy." Ace interrupted him, making the boy to stop.
"A kitten rather." The King corrected his friend with a look until he landed his eyes to the kid beside him.
"Why are you here?" Dymitri asked as he tilted his head in confusion.
The Ace accidentally choke out his food on his throat upon Dymitri's behavior. He didn't expect Dymitri to act like that. Even the King stopped midway in eating his toast and looked at the kid beside him. He immediately composed himself and ignored Dymitri.
"Of course, eating kiddo." Ace answered in behalf of the intimitading King.
"No not that. What I mean is, why are you here? In this table? With me?"
"We saw you all alone so I figured out to accompany you with this big guy beside you. He didn't complained anything afterwards." Ace smiled.
The kid only looked the smiling Ace then to the King who immediately flinched when he locked his gaze to the intimidating man beside him.
He immediately averted his gaze to his food as he feel his face lit up with a bright red color.
"There you are." The three looked at the person who just talked. It was the Prince himself, carrying a bag pack that slung on his right shoulder looking wet with sweat. He sat beside Ace and gulped the bottle of water he had in his had, together with a weird and familiar piece of envelope who was stuffed with different shapes and sizes of stickers.
"Is that a letter again?" Ace asked him when he catch a glimpse of the letter.
Kieffer placed the bottle of water in table before answering.
"Yeap, it looks like my secret admirer put it again in my locker this morning."
"Those stickers looked familiar." Dymitri mumbled when he stared at the colored sky blue envelope.
"Say what?" Dymitri flinched after hearing the man beside him spoke. His deep and cold voice sends shivers down to his spine.

"N-nothing." He replied.
"So, what's inside the letter?" Ace asked his friend, who immediately opened the envelope and held the matching paper high.
Both Prince and Ace read the content of the letter while Dymitri only looked at them carefully. Meanwhile, the intimidating King looked down intently to the kid beside him as he looked curious to the two.
"Well, it's just only a message for you after all." Ace can't help but to grin sheepishly to his friend who's ears lit up in a bright shade of red.
"I can't help but to get more curious about your secret admirer. It's been a year since that person sending you letters with weird stickers all over it. It's almost everyday you had letters in your locker man." Ace stated.
"So what? You're just jealous because I had a secret admirer."
"Despite of being a horny jerk, seriously? You got to be kidding me?" Ace snorted.
Well, that's actually true. There's no night to the young Prince he hadn't ever slept with a girl and had a one night stand.
Then the two began to answer each other, quarrelling about their night stands and boasting to each other about their great sex positions.
Dymitri looked down to his lap in embarrassment.
Did they had to talk about it in front of food? Especially, in front of me?
Somehow, the King noticed the kid's discomfort and he cleared his throat, looking at his friends who stopped from arguing. When they looked at their King, he only gave them a cold and deadly glare and eyed the kid beside him. The two automatically shut their mouth as Prince hid his letter into his bag.
"Sorry about that kiddo. We actually forgot your here." Ace stated looking at the kid embarrassed.
"I-it's okay. Just pretend that I didn't exist and didn't heard your argument." He mumbled bitterly enough to be heard by the people around him.
Ace scrunched up his face hearing the kid's statement. He looked at his friends who's eying the kid, especially Prince with concern.
"Are you alright?"
"Y-yeah." Dymitri replied to Exequile playing his fork, stabbing lightly the pancakes.
"Geez Kieffer, next time don't spill your horny thoughts whenever kiddo is around okay? You're staining his innocence with your horny ass." Exequile spat to the person beside him.
Prince rolled his eyes and jabbed his fingers into Exequile's side.
"Errr-- can I ask you a question?" Dymitri lifted his head and faced them.
"Go on."
"It's just me or people around us are weird?" With that, the Triple Crown looked around, quite surprised when they saw almost the students inside the cafeteria looking at them. Some gossiping while almost glaring and giving a deadly stare to the Omega.
When they looked at the kid again, he's already fidgeting his fingers on his lap. Sensing that Dymitri doesn't want the attention coming from his co-students, he lowered his head.
Actually, it's the first time they saw Triple Crown with someone else. Scratch that girls who's Ace's and Prince's flings, King's wannabe Queen, they only talked to someone that belongs to their houses which are the Alpha and Gamma. It's actually the first time they talked to someone else, especially to the kid named Dymitri Villacroixe who belonged to the Omega House which other houses find weak and useless.
Being in Omega, they considered the students who belonged from this house weak and useless for the reason that Omega is the last section or house in the academy.
"Don't mind them, they're just jealous." Prince blurted out, assuring the kid but it seems it worsen the kid's thoughts as his anxiety attacks him.
Dymitri hates attention, crowd and everything else that reminds him his hurtful past on his former school. If he could turn back time, he wished that he's never have been born.
His breathe hitches and that made Ace and Prince alarmed as they saw the kid hyperventilate at his seat. Flashing right on his mind his memoirs of terror a year ago, his anxiety only gotten worse.
"Shit. Calm him down." Ace hissed. He looked at the intimidating King beside Dymitri who only stared at the poor thing catch his breath.
"King, calm him down. Look!" Prince snapped at him as the kid began to emit a translucent light of purple, swirling around his hands.
King was alarmed after seeing the kid emitted such a high amount of energy with just only a blink, he immediately reached the kid's back. Placing his rough and warm hand, rubbing gently as he could to Dymitri's back.
Memories from the day they first met in the lavatory flashed on his mind. The day who he caught the kid peeking at his Queen while having sex at the sink. The day who he held the kid in his muscular arms and eventually, broke down to tears when his memories from the past haunts him.
It seems King's touch calmed Dymitri down and he was able to breathe again normally. His hands aren't emitting lights again. As his shaky hands reached his eyeglasses and pushed it back to his nose bridge to avoid it from sliding down to his nose, he composed himself.
"T-thank you." He mumbled but eventually, stood up. Startling the three, he immediately ran away.
The three looked at the kid as he exited the building until it finally disappeared on their sights.
Ace pained a sigh, a worried sigh rather.
"There's something wrong going on that kid." Ace blurted out.
"I thought inside just the only one." Prince replied.
"There's something wrong on Dymitri. I can't figure it out if what the hell it is but there's really something wrong." Ace stated.
"Did you feel that earlier? His energy? His power?" Ace asked them.
Prince nodded in response while the King just looked at him straight to his eyes signalling his answer which is a 'yes'.
"Within just a blink of our naked eyes, he can cast a powerful aura that, for my opinion, that same as ours." Ace explained.
"How come an Omega like him can do that? To think that everyone who belongs to their house were not really that strong enough." Ace added.
"But, remember the Marking Ceremony? Those rumors we heard were actually true. Damn it! If we attended the ceremony, we were able to see what happened when the godly symbols actually fought each other just to pick the kid's attention." Prince exclaimed, remembering the gossips and rumors he had heard around their house about a soft, tiny and shy kid wearing a pair of glasses who made the jewel of purity and light of Zelquestria revealed the godly symbols.
Their conversation was soon interrupted by a man beside them, who happened to clear his throat again to catch the boy's attentions.
When they looked up, they saw the familiar man's smile and they flashed a smile back, except for the cold and intimidating King.
"Professor McDurant, what brings you here?" Ace asked their Beasts and Creatured professor with a smile.
"Well boys, I just want you to inform your juniors to stop harassing their classmates from the other houses in my class. A Delta yesterday was sent to the hospital wing after a Gamma and Alpha tossed him back and forth and when they grew tired, they smacked the kid on my white board after I entered my class." His voice was stern but also sad.
"Okay Sir, just gave me their names and we'll come up with a plan for disciplining them." Ace replied.
Crystal didn't had a detention room. The only one who can gave them disciplinary actions and punishments are their head students and being a head student, that is their job. Not just only maintaining the peace inside their house but also to teach them lessons too.
"Sure Mr. Salvatore. I'll send you a list of names to you later, together with some Alphas." He said and eyed at the King who's silently eating his breakfast.
"Okay sir."
"Okay. Well, I will go now. I had a pile of works to do in my office. Especially on this upcoming festival. Enjoy your breakfast boys." He said and walked out.
It's indeed the festival is coming now, with only a few days left. The Triple Crown remained on their seat and talked about random stuffs for the upcoming event.
Little did they know, the man that hiding at the back of the tree grinned evilly, as he looked at them a far from the windows. It's only a few days now before he could bring havoc to Zelquestria and it seems that fate sides in him. His grin widened even more at the thought of the festival.
"This is going to be exciting." He blurted out to himself and after that, he disappeared.
