Dymitri Villacroixe

"Wait!!" I frantically yelped, stopping midway panting like there's no tomorrow. I took a deep breath and exhaled it immediately.

The five stopped on their tracks, still jogging in place. They all looked back at my direction while they had this teasing look and smiles on their faces.

"Oh come on pretty boy! We still have 6 laps to run." Bridget teased while the others chuckled.

"No! N-no way! I'm t-tired! Can we just have a small break?" I said.

"No. We promised you to train you well so you can control your powers. And giving up on a simple 10 laps around is not a solution." Bridget scolded and I let small whimper.

"Pretty please?" I said, trying my best to have this oh-so-called puppy eyes and pout.

"Sure you're pretty cute but it doesn't work on me. So now, let's continue or I'll spank your flat yet sexy butt." I gasped, looking offended. I looked back at my butt, it's not that flat! It's just average.

I looked back at her wearing a small pout and sighed. As we continue to jog around the oval. It's exhausting! I'm not an athletic type of mutant and this kind of training is hard for me. But, I remembered their promise, especially Bridget. She wants me to control my abilities totally and I want that. I want what she told me so I can, at least protect myself from the memories that haunts me.

After we finished 10 laps, we proceeded to the school gym, which is I refused to go because it makes me feel awkward but Carlo and Riley dragged me along with Bridget who's grinning evilly.

As we walked inside, pairs of eyes immediately landed on us. The gym was full, especially with Alphas or I should say, male Alphas. We made our ways, not wanting to disturb the mostly half naked Alphas covered in their own sweat to the back. Bridget didn't care about the daggers of glares that were thrown to us by the Alphas. She just rolled her eyes sassily and mind our own business.

Bridget is sure have this kind of attitude that can make a single person pissed in just a single stare of her. She then told us what to do. Gosh! She's really strict to us. After a few sets of work out, we made our way out the building.

"Okay, so go shower for now and rest, we'll start practicing our skills later this afternoon." She said making us nod.

The six of us bid goodbyes and separated ways. Me and Ali was on our way to the locker room to gather our spare shirts there. We're so tired and exhausted to go in our dorm. Even if I teleported back to my room, I am positive that I'll end up fainting.

Why I'm so weak? Gosh.

After we entered the room, we immediately went to our respective lockers, which is mine is just four lockers ahead from him. As we took our towel and spare clothes, we began to undress.

"Hey Demi, are you alright if you don't wear your glasses in taking a bath?" He asked as he pulled out his shirt. I admit, he had some muscles to be flex though but not as much as King, wait, what?!

Why I remembered King in times like this?!

But come to think about it. I haven't seen him for a while now. It's already five days after the administrators announced that there will be a week long training for each class. After that, I haven't heard any news from him, as well as Prince and Ace.

"Uhm, it's quite alright though I'm still struggling in washing my body. My eyes are pretty blurred you know." I said chuckling.

"Plus, your hair roots is starting to grow longer. Your hair color is beginning to be brighter." He muttered and I sighed.

"Well, it's not a suicidal thought but I wanna dye my hair." He said giggling.

I smiled to him.

"How about we dye your hair? I volunteer!!" I said, rasing my hand as if I am a kid.

"Hmm. I like your idea but in one condition." He said.

"What?"

"I want to see your hair color once, I mean, your natural hair color Demi. Just once."

"But, I feel awkward when I see my hair color Ali. That's why I dyed it black."

"Really? Well but Tyler sent me a picture of you two with you and your hair really suits you well, you know." My eyes widened.

"What!?"

"You know. You don't need to be conscious about how you look Demi. Instead of hiding it, you should embrace it. Own it!" He said, putting his arms on my shoulders.

Well, he's pretty right. But, I feel to shy.

"I know your shy but it will lead you to nothing. Boost your self confidence even once. You sang a song in different language when we know you had anxiety when it comes to crowd and those people who listened to your song is impressed. Tyler told you to be brave but, well for me, I'm telling you to be confident! Get them pretty boy!" He cheered. A smile crept on my lips.

"Thank you." I said softly.

"Anytime!" He said smiling.

We ended up showering, after he came out from the stall, I was already dressed in different clothes. Now I'm wearing shorts that is 2 inch above the knees and a oversized purple pastel hoodie. I regretted bringing some spare shirts so I'm only wearing hoodie as top.

Ali and I went back to my dorm. He stayed for a while after we discussed what hair color should I put on his hair. After that, we ate with Bridget and the others and ended in the training field with our classmates.

"Uwu! Dymitri! Your so freaking cute!!" A bunch of Delta and Alpha approach me.

"Sure he is." Frank from the Beta agreed together with his gang.

It may be sounded weird but we are the only class that all students from the five houses are not bullying each other. Instead, we help each one of us to excel in our personal works.

I flashed a small yet genuine smile before muttering a thank you to them. They only giggled while mostly of the boys chuckled. We all came to our respective positions and places while our class president and Bridget, which is our vice president come in front of us. They had a few words before we went to our own places. As for the six of us, we keep our distance pretty far from them. I told them that I couldn't show them my true powers, and I still don't like showing it in public.

Then, Carlo began to float in the air, and that goes same for me. The swirling transparent purple light began to lit up around me as I take off.

"That's good, now, are you able to fly around?" He asked me.

"Dunno. I really don't remember how I'm able yo fly last time." I answered truthfully, referring to the time where the Sins attacked the school.

"Oh well, flying will be easy for you. I know you're a fast learner." He cheered and I smiled. He began to teach me how the basics of flying. After a few minutes, I finally mastered it. After a few hours, Bridget told us that we're ready, especially me because I learned so fast.

In the end, our president called us. We all gather around, as he told us to sit, forming a big circle on the grassy ground.

"Okay, let's take a sparring session." He said and the boys began to cheer. Me and the rest stayed silent.

The president randomly chose a pair of names. When the two participants came at the center of the circle, he told them to fight but without using their powers. Well, speed and strength are exception for that.

Few pairs began to fight. The president and Bridget only stopped the pair if the party was nearly injured. The previous pairs did a handshake before returning to their places.

"Riley and Dymitri." He said. Me and Riley looked each other. He just gave me a smile before standing up.

"I'm your friend baby boy but I'm not holding up." He said, offering his hand to me. I just gave a small smile before taking it and the two of us walked at the center.

"Go baby Demi!"

"Pretty Boy! Kick his ass!"

"Cutie! I'm cheering for you!" The girls began to cheer for me but the boys only applaud.

"Hey! Can someone cheer for me? You're being biased to this duck!" Riley said and the class began to laugh.

I giggled, trying to hide my nervous.

"Begin." Bridget said.

I focused my attention to Riley but in just a blink of eye, I landed pretty bad in the ground. A pained groan escaped my lips as I felt my arm bruised.

I looked back at him, he's wearing a teasing smile on his face. The people around us gasped, some murmuring concerns about me. I stood up, ignoring the pain of my arm.

I nearly forgot that he possessed the power of super speed. Geez.

You really want to play, then I'll give you what I got.

He began to move, a cue that he'll run again. I closed my eyes trying to gain my focus until I reopened my eyes again. I purposely stepped back but placed my right foot on the ground and that made our classmates to laugh when he tripped over and landed in the ground with his face.

"Shit!" He said as he sat down grasping his jaw.

Before he could actually take a move, I use my powers and with just a blink of an eye, I ran to him and immediately went at his side, which he didn't notice.

I tapped his shoulder and when he turned around, I smacked him hard making his head to tilt because of the impact.

I can hear them gasped, some giggling.

"Woah, I didn't see that coming pretty boy." He said, attempted to grab my knees but I moved faster.

"Don't tell me you have super speed too?" He asked when he failed in catching me.

"D-dunno." I said as I finally realized what I have done. I can run fast, like pretty fast! Like what Riley's ability!

He shook his hands, preparing himself to attack and when he took his time, I readied myself. He launched and then, the last thing I did is run towards him until he landed again in the ground with a groan. I tripped him over again and when I stopped, I can feel my eyes glowing. I shook my head until they're gone.

"Sparring Over! Well done Dymitri!" Our president complimented but I ignored it and run towards Riley who is still in the ground.

"Riley! I'm so sorry!" I said, kneeling down to help him.

"Damn baby boy! You're so strong!" He said chuckling and ruffled my hair.

"Does your body hurts?" I asked.

"My back, but I can feel your arm is throbbing too. You landed pretty bad earlier and I'm sorry."

"That's okay." I said smiling as the two of us went to our seats. Ali immediately helped us by healing our bruises and relieving our pains.

Soon, our sparring ended. Time passed so fast until the night Khalil went to my room before the day of Battle Royale.

"You ready?" I asked while I standing at his back while he sat in front of me.

"Yeah. Bring it on." He said and I did what I have to do. I dyed his hair.

Third Person's POV

The day has come and the first monthly performance exam of the Crystal Academy is going to happen soon. The Classes are being held in the spacious field where they started to assemble. The Battle Royale will start at 8 o'clock sharp and it's only 25 minutes left.

King, Ace and Prince's class came. Squeals, cheers and giggles filled the air as soon as they saw the three handsome and sexy men walking in the grassy ground. They went to their places as the three of them lead their class.

Meanwhile, another set of giggles, cheers and squeals filled the air as the rival of the Triple Crown arrived. The Master, together with his second-in-command went to their place, which is next to King's class.

The two glared each other and soon as they do that, people around them looked tensed. They didn't know what's running inside of their heads, well, they already one thing and that is how to kill each other.

Ever since the two met, they really hate each other's guts and presence. Ahron Smith rolled his eyes and turned to his right to have a conversation with Gwen. Theodore scoffed and looked away. The two guys beside him snickered. King's really a bitch when it comes to Ahron. His blood immediately boils everytime he saw the man.

"Chill bro." Ace said tapping his shoulders.

"We'll kick his ass soon." Prince added.

King ignored the two and focused his attention to the class in facing them. Their distance is about 15 meters apart and somehow, he's looking for someone he secretly desperately wants to see.

Minutes later, the administrator that is in charge for the Battle Royale arrived. The class president of Class 2 - 1 is worried, even Bridget, Riley, Aliza and Carlo because Khalil and Dymitri haven't arrived yet.

The Administrator floated in the air, he was about to speak when a few more students arrived, rushing to immediately go to their respective places.

King's eyes landed on the last two figures running from behind, especially to the kid who's hair is bouncing at the air.

"Faster Demi! We're late!" Khalil said running.

"It's not my fault if I overslept you know." He replies as the two of them went to their class. The Class president and Bridget sighed in relief seeing the two finally arrived. Some of them gasped seeing the two's appearance.

Khalil's hair is now turned from dirty blonde into light brown and it really suits him and his personality.

Meanwhile, Dymitri was in his natural hair color. Khalil put some hair dye remover on his hair last night and revealed his bright gray hair to the crowd but what really got the attention of the people around them is Dymitri is no longer wearing his thick eyeglasses.

Khalil tried to suggest if he can heal Dymitri's eyes. At first, Dymitri hesitated. His eyes are rare case that even doctors can't cure his eyes but, Khalil is known for his powerful healing capabilities. He healed Ace who had been penetrated a venom of a demon that could actually kill a person in 30 seconds. Khalil persuaded him until he gave up. He healed him and viola!

"Shit! Is that Dymitri?" Prince curiously asked after seeing the kid.

"Goddamn, it really suits him. He's more adorable without his eyeglasses though, right King?" Ace nudge King's side who only replied a small,

"Yeah."

Soon, the Administrator finally announced the participants in Battle Royale after he talks a few things to remind the students.

The Battle Royale will be held in different dimensions, that means, the Battle Royale will be only held in one day. The pairing began to announced. There will be 6 classes to compete to each other.

"Next is, Class 4 - 2, 4 - 1, 3 - 3, 2 - 3, and Class 2 - 1." Prince's eyes widened after hearing the announcement.

They will fight against Ahron but as well to the kid they really adored, Dymitri.

"Shit! It's Dymitri's class!" Ace muttered in concern.

"I know." Prince replies looking at the bunch of students across them.

They are sure that their opponents are strong but,

"Shit! It cannot be." Bridget cussed as soon as she realized something.

"What?" Riley asked her.

"We're going against to the Triple Crown's class, as well as the Master." She said and their mouths hung open, except for Dymitri who's confused.

"Master? Who's that?"

"The rival of the Triple Crown. Their worst enemy. And I'm pretty sure that this Battle Royale, will be definitely be the worst." The Class president, Hans said to them.

"But let's proceed to our plan, and guess what, I have an idea." Bridget suggested, smirking.

"Spill it." Hans said.

"Guys! Gather around!" Hans demanded and they all formed a circle in which they encircled Hans, Bridget, Demi and the rest. She began to explain her plan and they all noted it.

Triple Crown and their class looked them afar, wearing a smile of amusement in Prince's and Ace's lips, they really found them interesting.

"They really get along well." Kieffer looked adorably.

"The war between the five houses are really unstoppable but to them, it looks like they really all friends." Exequile replied.

Even their class is going to be one, they really didn't trust each other, especially the Betas and Omegas inside their room but they don't have a choice but to be in peace with them and fight for the sake of their grades.

"Everyone, to their respective portals please." The administrator spoke and soon, every class went to their respective portals as they group theirselves according to their class.

Apparently, the class where Dymitri was next to King's so eventually, Ace and Prince noticed him.

"Kiddo!" Ace called. Demi's head turned around and saw the smiling Ace looking at him.

"Hello." He said, waving to him.

"Woah, you really look cool without your glasses." Prince complimented making the kid blush.

"W-well, Khalil tried to healed my eyes last night and it worked." He said looking towards Ali who's busy listening at Riley's and and Carlo's argument, chuckling.

The two looked at where he looked, somehow, Ace felt amused seeing the person who helped him in that time he nearly died without a warning but as soon as Prince's eyes landed on Ali, a smirk crept on his lips.

"Not bad for a good fuck." He said to himself, planning something.

"Oh, hi King." Dymitri muttered seeing the intimidating King towered the two tall figures in front if him. He's nervous too, seeing his cold gaze, he flinched when he moved.

"Hey King! Don't be a meanie! Even we have to fight their class, he's still a kid." Prince said to him but he didn't care.

Somehow, Dymitri liked the idea that someone is concerned about him and he loved that someone is considering him as a baby. His mother treats him like a baby, spoiling him what he wants and what he necessarily and unnecessarily wants. He loves that kind of affection so his eyes involuntarily sparkled.

"Don't worry Kitten, we'll be go easy on you." King's voice brings shivers down to his spine. He likes his voice, on how deep, raspy, husky and cold it is but at the same time, scared.

"T-thanks." He said fidgeting his fingers. He was about to reply something else when someone called his name.

"Pup!" That voice immediately boiled King's blood, seeing his rival run towards them.

"Ron!" Dymitri happily said waving. When Ron finally approached the kid, he stood beside him, smiling and that made the intimitading King more angrier. He's pissed, not only on Ahron Smith is friends with his Kitten, not only that his Kitten is his oh-so-called Pup but he's close to his Kitten. So close that their skin are already touching and brushing each other.

"Good luck for later Pup!" He said, ruffling the hair of his pup. Dymitri smiled after he took his arm away from his gray strands of hair.

"You too." He replied.

"Oh, you're friends with them?" Ahron asked looking towards the three men who's glaring at him.

"Well, I don't know if they find me their friends but I consider them as one." Dymitri genuinely answered.

Somehow, Dymitri didn't feel right when he's talking to the popular group in school. He felt always awkward. He didn't even know if Triple Crown consider him as a friend or not, especially their King.

"Shut up Ahron." Prince spatted, full of venom. Dymitri flinched hearing his voice change from cheerful to cold one. Ahron smirked at him.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll kick your jackass faces later." Ahron replied grinning. And that began to Prince, Ace and Ahron to glare each other.

King looked down, seeing the kid looked tensed.

"Bring it on shitface." King replied with a smirk.

"Uhm, excuse me." Their head snapped when they heard a voice beside Dymitri.
