“What is this?” a huge masculine man questioned as he made his way into a building after showing his invitation to a couple of security guards in front of the gate. Inside the building was something that he hadn’t expected at all. There was a group of people. A weird mix of people that can never be seen close to each other outside of that room, ranging from criminals to mercenaries to assassins and then to well-renowned hunters, each group that was mentioned was all represented by the best of the best. The man wondered who the psycho was that thought it wise to invite all of them together to the same room. It seemed like the psycho wanted to start a fight, or the person was just dumb, because the best way to pass information to that kind of group would have been to invite them all into separate buildings and then pass whatever it is that he wanted to say to them through a representative or a communication device. The man, Hugo, could feel the tension in the atmosphere as he

Bella stood behind the massive gate guarding the Holy Mountain Academy. The only thing she recognized about the school was its structure, which was blatantly the same as it had ever been since the very first day she visited. One thing was different, though. Back then, everyone could tell that the academy was slowly going down the drain, but during that period, the students that filled the huge compound of the academy were enough indication that it didn’t end up going down the drain. A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips. It was a proud smile, after all, she knew who had saved the academy. It was her son, so it was only normal for her to assume that he would be well respected in the academy and when she asked him, there would be a smile on their faces as they told her about his whereabouts. But… that wasn’t the case. The first person she had asked frowned at the mention of his name and simply ignored her. She decided to ask a lady with a friendly face next, and s

“I can’t believe this is currently happening,” Damien lamented for the umpteenth time as he paced around in headmaster Thorne’s office. Four members of the council had made their way to Holy Mountain Academy to discuss with Alaric. Dante, Damien, Baratheon, the beastmaster and Elias. They had picked those exact members for a particular reason, which was balance. Half of the members were still on the argument that Alaric was a problem to humanity and should be killed, while the other half are of the completely opposite opinion. Damien turned to the rest of the council members who were currently sitting on a couch in the office, one wide enough for all three people, “If someone told me that one day, a teenager would make the federal council wait for him like this, I wouldn’t have believed it. I am pretty sure that I would have bet all my fortune on the fact that the day would never come, but alas, here we are.” He had a mocking tone as he spoke. Elias chipped in, “If word

‘A demon?’ Everyone seated in the headmaster's office could all tell that it was a demon that had joined them in the office, which had made them all jump on guard in the presence of their natural enemy. They were only a second from attacking when he dropped that bomb of their partner being around. That was the only reason why the figure’s head was still connected to the body at that moment, because no matter how strong the demon was, it wasn’t enough to contend against the protectors of humanity who are at the top chain in the hierarchy of the human world. None of them relaxed, but there was something that got them on edge, and it was the fact that none of them had noticed a single thing until the demon surfaced. Brewing with barely restrained anger, Damien was the first of them to speak to the demon. “You have some nerves coming here, casualties are bound to happen, and I am pretty sure people wouldn’t mind because we have a justifiable reason to end your life and that of y

In the headmaster’s office, the atmosphere was thick with shock and the strong stench of blood, as all the adults in the room stared at a head dropping to the floor and rolling forward, leaving a trail of blood in its wake, while the headless body took a step forward and then another before dropping to its knees less than a second before it fell stomach flat to the floor. “What just happened?” Damien blurted out the question on everyone’s mind, turning around to look at their faces, the shocked look on it was enough to answer that none of them knew, and he didn’t bother pushing further, he simply turned to the lifeless body. Dante was the first one to get over the shock, he clasped his hands together. “Is that who you wanted to fight, Elias?” Elias swallowed hard but didn’t let out any response, instead, he was focused so hard on something else. The shock that he was feeling earlier had morphed into fear at the imagination of what could have happened if he had managed to lunge
