Third Person's POV

The night has passed and the two chose to stay in the hospital wing with their senior, Sky who's busy laughing at Leo's face. Leo, meanwhile tried his best not to be embarrassed in front of them, especially to his Master. They're currently playing some card card game and Leo always loose to the three so he should follow what the three wants him to do.

"Come Leo! Do the body roll again!! Come on!" Dymitri said while his body was filled with excitement.

"Sure! Do that again Leo! Go!" Ali cheered and clapped his hands.

Leo looked at his Master who's chuckling at them. He moved his head as if signaling Leo to do the body roll. Leo stood up in defeat and prepared himself. The three looked at him until he began to move his body, doing the oh-so-called body roll. The room filled with laughter as they cheered Leo to dance even more.

"Hey! Let's stop here. Gosh." Leo immediately defended himself from the humiliation.

"Okay, but that's great!" Ali said wiping a stray tear coming out from his eyes.

"Okay, let's stop here guys. It's quite late, the two of you should rest. Even though we have a day to rest tomorrow, you should be in your rooms now. Plus, I'm tired too." Sky told them.

"Can we stay here?" Dymitri pleaded looking hopeful to Sky.

"As much as I want baby boy but no. Off you go now."

Dymitri pouted and stood up, as well as Khalil. The two hugged their head student until they pulled away.

"Good night Sky! Take care!" Ali mentioned waving.

"Get well soon! And Leo, please take care of Sky okie?" Dymitri looked up to see the man who's currently standing beside the hospital bed of Sky.

"Of course little one." Leo replied with a smile.

"Okie, bye you two! See you tomorrow!" Dymitri waved to the two until they finally exited the room.

"Those two are sure annoying sometimes." Sky chuckled which caused Leo to looked at him.

"Leo? You should rest too."

"How about you Master? You are still not okay." Leo worriedly asked.

"I'm fine. I'm strong right? I don't want my friend to end up tired too." He genuinely said to the Lion with a smile.

"As you wish." Leo bowed until he disappeared.

Sky was now left all alone inside the hospital wing. He sunk himself to the bedsheet and reminiscent the first day he officially learned how to summon a spirit, especially a celestial spirit.

It was a sunny day, when he decided to visit the library to find a book. The room is spacious, filled with shelves full of different books containing different genres and topics. He was alone back there because the students were so busy for the training sessions because the Battle Royale is about to come.

He visited an section, where is slightly hidden from the others. He was about to pick a book when he accidentally saw the section of books where staffs of the academy strictly prohibited the students to enter. He read the letters above the door.

"Restricted Section."

He knows it's dangerous but his curiousity killed him. He knows that there's no more students like him inside and the librarian is still sleeping in her chair so he took the chance and snoop inside. It was dark, and creepy. The only light that is illuminating the room is the small light bulb above.

When he tried to roamed around, he could saw the books are locked not until he noticed a small book in the corner of the shelf. The cover of the book is sparkling like stars in the night sky. When he took it, a wave of energy was engaged as he felt the current run through his veins.

He opened the book that is not locked unlike the others. The first page of the book is all blank, until he saw a cursive writing in the bottom right of the book. It says,

"Locke Celestino and Reloixé Lockhart."

Then, he remembers that Reloixé Lockhart was actually their former Headmaster but in Locke Celestino, he doesn't have a clue.

When he tried to read the content, he was petrified after he saw what's written in the book.

Ways on how to summon spirits from the other dimensions. There he stood as he struck hard by realizations that Locke Celestino was the former Gatekeeper back then but he was murdered by the God or currently known as the Shadow Master now.

He tried to read all the content but the only topic that catched his attention was the last Section of the book, which is "Summoning Celestial Spirits."

When he read further, he saw 12 pictures of the Zodiac making a circle together and there's a figure in the middle of them like a black spiral thing. He read the ways until he felt someone is coming so, due to panic, he immediately teared the first page of the last Section of the book and didn't have the chance to continue to read the details of the spirits one by one in the following page. He immediately put the book in the place where he saw it earlier and rushed to the door. He closed it and went to the nearby sections of book.

When he looked to his side, he saw the librarian looking at him skeptically. He just flashed a smile and it seems like the librarian took it and smiled back until she walked away. He sighed in relief as he took the crumpled paper out in his pockets.

With that, he finally exited the room and went straight to his room and tried to summon the Zodiacs and he successfully called them out and the first Spirit he called was Leo.

A sigh escaped his lips as he finished reminiscing the memory and said,

"What a tiring day." He said before he finally drifted off to his deep slumber.

In the next morning,

Sky woke up earlier than he thought, he felt relieved and energetic but also nauseous at the same time. He was tidying up his bed when the nurse arrived to check him.

"Are you feeling well now Mr. Sanderson?" The nurse asked while holding a clipboard against her chest.

"Yes Ma'am. But I feel still quite nauseous." He admitted and chuckled awkwardly.

"Oh, okay. Come with me so I can give you some medicine to take to make your nausea disappear." She smiled.

"Okay ma'am." He followed the nurse in the counter. He patiently waited while the nurse took some medicines. A few minutes later, the nurse gave a small paper bag where Sky's medications are. Sky received the bag with a smile which caused the nurse to flash a smile too.

"Get well soon Mr. Sanderson. And don't tire yourself too much." The nurse reminded him. Sky only smiled and said,

"Thank you Ma'am! I'll get going." Before he finally exited his way from the hospital wing.

He went to the cafeteria by himself. The cafeteria is empty and he's the one who arrived here first. He went to the counter and ordered himself a breakfast which he took out to eat in his room.

He went out after he paid his food. He went straight to his room and locked it immediately when he get inside. He sighed as he took his food out from the bag. He sat in his desk and began to eat his food. Later on, when he finished, he took some of his medicines and gulped it with the help of his bottled water and then, he went straight to his bed and closed his eyes, wanting himself to rest more.

Meanwhile, Khalil Dela Torre was up early in the morning. He was planning to tale Dymitri on an exercise so the kid could be stronger. Upon knocking on his best friend's door, it immediately opened revealing a hyper-looking Dymitri wearing a oversized hoodie and shorts.

"Shall we?"

"Okie!" Dymitri exclaimed after the two went out the building. They went to the field and ran about two laps and then went to a nearby bench to sit. It took them a fee minutes until they decided to walk to the cafeteria. They finally gave up because instead of training, they want to eat food.

The two ordered food of their favorites and shared a table. They had a small conversation about what happened last night. They mean the current rankings for the Battle Royale yesterday. They we're actually shocked after knowing that they're in the Top 10.

"I can't really believe that we're actually in the Top 10 Demi. It's my first time!!" Khalil admitted honestly looking so excited in the list.

"Uh huh, it's my first time too." Dymitri agreed smiling brightly because finally, he was able to learn how to fight.

"Congratulations Demi! You finally able to learn how to defend yourself! Plus, you can control bit by bit your powers! We're so proud of you, and I'm pretty sure that Tyler is proud of you too."

"I hope so Ali!" Dymitri replied after he finishes his food. After their breakfast, the two was walking in the hallways when Khalil suddenly remembered that there's something he should go pick up in his locker.

"Are you sure you will go alone?" Dymitri asked him and he nodded.

"Yup, just wait me here. It will be real quick." He said and ran away.

Dymitri patiently waited there. He was currently looking down at his little feet and humming softly when a pair of black shoes suddenly appeared right in front of his feet. When he looked up, he immediately regretted it after locking his eyes to the intimidating King who's currently staring at him. He gulped, then looked away.

"U-uhm, I g-gotta go." He was about to flee when he felt a strong hand wrapped around his wrist and pulled him back.

"We need to talk." The King said with dominance.

"B-but I have something to d-do--"

"Kitten." He flinched after the King took a step forward to him. His head immediately lowered because of fear and also of embarrassment, remembering the day when the two of them kissed.

He sneakily looked left, praying to the Gods and Goddesses that Ali would come back now because the place where the two of them are currently standing are near to the locker room.

"W-what do you want?" He asked softly. King mentally smirked how soft and cute his Kitten at this moment but instead of answering the little fella in front of him, he came nearer, leaning closer so he could picture how adorable his Kitten but the only thing he nearly growled is when Dymitri avoided his eyes.

"Don't do that." He said which Dymitri made confused.

"D-do what?"

"Avoid my eyes." He simply replied and with that, Dymitri looked up and the two locked each other's eyes as if they were mesmerized by each other's pair of orbs.

"Your eyes are beautiful." Dymitri unexpectedly blurted out to the man with icy gray eyes. His eyes widened after realizing what he have said.

"Cute." The King said and ruffled his hair like a puppy.

"I know you're embarrassed when I did that to you." King's deep yet sexy voice resonates to Dymitri's ears sending shivers down to his spine.

"Embarrassed? Of w-what?" The King leaned closer right though his ear, and when King's lips brushes to his ear, he felt a little bit excited and a tingly sensation exploded in his stomach.

"The kiss?" With that, the purple eyed kid immediately went red remembering how King deeply kissed him in order to steal his badge.

"H-hey! No I'm n-not! And you are a c-cheater!" Dymitri immediately defended himself from the humiliation.

"Me? A cheater?"

"Y-yeah!"

"How come?"

"Uhm----" Dymitri began to think of good reasonable answers he could replied while playing his fingers but he came out nothing so he ended up clamping his lips shut and glared at the man in front him.

"See? I'm not a cheater Kitten."

"B-but, why did you do that?! It's my first kiss!!" King was surprised after his Kitten bursted out but Dymitri regretted it afterwards as he put his hands in his mouth because of unexpected shout he did a while ago.

"First kiss eh?" Dymitri blushed, flashing a pinkish shade of color that turned afterwards into dark shade of red.

"Okay, because I can feel that you're pretty upset because I stole your first kiss, then let's make a deal." The Kitten looked him up catching the gaze of the King's gray eyes.

"Let me treat you to a meal-----"

"HELP!!!!" Their head immediately snapped to the direction where the familiar voice came.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME! PLEASE!" Dymitri immediately ran to the direction where the voice came in. It's coming from the locker room and the owner of the voice is coming from his friend Khalil. When he was getting nearer, he saw Bridget coming too.

"Where's Khalil?"

"He's inside." Dymitri replied to Bridget which immediately the girl gritted her teeth.

She walked first, kicking the doors open. The doors swung open, leaving one of the double door's flung a fee meters away. And when the two of them get inside, there they saw their friend, only wearing his pants as his shirt are already torn apart in the tiled floor.

Khalil was struggling now to break free in someone's arms in the corner if the room. He was screaming for help as the man harrassed him roughly by kissing his neck.

"Somebody help me!" He said crying as his voice are getting weaker.

"I know you want this fag! You think I won't find you the one who's putting some goddamned love letters inside my locker?" Khalil's first love said as he forcedly grabbed Khalil's arm and pinned them above his head.

Kieffer began to kiss Khalil in the neck, nibbling each skin leaving dark hickeys.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! LEAVE MY FRIEND ALONE!" Bridget charged, as he grabbed Kieffer in the neck and swung him away. Kieffer hit the metal lockers, making him to crash and created a big dent in the object.

King was shocked after he followed his Kitten and saw what happened earlier. He saw how his friend was easily thrown away by a girl who's smaller than him.

"Khalil!" Bridget called his trembling friend. Khalil tried to hide his body but he failed, as he broke down in Bridget's arms after the girl kneeled down and embraced him.

"B-bridget." Khalil sobbed burying his head in Bridget's crook of her neck.

Dymitri was horrified seeing how his best friend broke down in tears. He can't believe that Khalil was nearly raped and to stir all the things up, The Prince is the one who harrassed him.

"Fuck." He heard Kieffer get up from the sudden attack he took from an Omega.

"Y-you." He softly said but audible enough to everyone. He looked Prince in fear but raged took him in.

"Why did you do that!?" Dymitri bursted out as his eyes lit up. Violet light emitted around his body as this lights began to creat arrows.

"Kitten!" The King was about to step in but he was taken a back by an arrow who flew to his direction. He dodged it so the arrow ended up stabbed in the wall, which went through making a large whole to be left.

"We didn't do something to you right?"

"Kitten! Calm down!" He said after Dymitri's eyes were getting darker.

"Shit! King! Calm him down!" Bridget screamed realizing how their friend could exterminate the whole building with just only his arrows.

"YOU HURT MY FRIEND! YOU ASSAULTED HIM KIEFFER MCGREGOR! YOU ASSAULTED MY FRIEND!" His voice was getting weirder, creepier and deeper as if he was getting possessed by an evil spirit.

All the arrows aimed to Prince's direction, preparing to be launched but King suddenly stepped in front of his Kitten, blocking his sight to Kieffer.

"Kitten. Calm down. Now." He ordered but there's no response.

"Kitten, please." This time, he hugged his kitten hoping that Dymitri would calm down now.

Dymitri flinched by the King's touch as his head was suddenly buried to Theodore's firm and toned chest.

"Please calm down." There King's voice resonated in Dymitri's ears and made the kid to come back in reality. The light in his eyes disappeared but after that, he became unconscious.

King immediately catched him, embracing Dymitri in his arms. Then he glanced to his friend who's currently clamping his arm. He glared at Kieffer in anger.

"For fuck sake Kieffer. Why the fuck did you do that to a second year?!" He coldly asked.

Bridget helped Khalil to stood up because he can't help himself to compose properly. He was a mess, a trembling mess.

"Let's go Ali. Let me take you to your room." Bridget said to him while helping Khalil.

"Uhm, King? Can you bring Demi with us?" She asked to the King. Theodore was hesitant to give up his Kitten. He wants Dymitri to be in his side but he knows that Bridget won't give up persuading him to give Dymitri to them. He only nodded as an answer.

"Why?" Their head snapped back to the man who assaulted Khalil.

"Why are you siding with them Theo? You supposed to side with me. Not them!"

"For goddamn sake Kieffer. What got you and you're acting like this? I let you secretly investigate who the hell your secret admirer is but I guess your too arrogant. You didn't read properly his personal informations don't you?" King was getting madder to his something like idiot friend.

"I read them all Theo---"

"Then did you read that he was a rape victim?" That made Kieffer stop. As if he was washed by cold and chilling water all over him.

"Khalil Dela Torre was raped in the age of 8-10 years old by his uncle you asshole. Are you really dumb or plain stupid?"

Now that Khalil's dark secret is already revealed. He was scared to face them all now, even his new friend. The only one knows his secret is Bridget.

"Come on Delta. Take him to the Hospital Wing to rest or he'll get sick because of trauma." He demanded to the Omega, which he was referring to the only girl inside, Bridget.

Before they left, Bridget threw a one and final glare to the Prince until they finally exited the room.

"What have I done?" Kieffer said to himself, preventing himself to smash his fists into the now dented lockers.

"He will definitely hate me now." He said and looked to the exit where the boy he nearly raped went out together with his friend, and also, his best friend King who's carrying his unconscious Kitten, Dymitri.
