ACADEMY OF IMMORTALS - CHAPTER 9&10
★★★
(THE CONNECTION)
★
Genova’s skin peeled off as Eddy kept pressing the hot iron on his skin
Tears slipped off his eyes as pain surged through his body
Eddy smiled satisfactory seeing the damage he did to his skin, he took off the iron leaving a deep wound on his back
Him and his mother smiled
“I h@?? you so much, I hope you will leave this house one day bastard” Eddy said and kicked his head
“This will be a lesson to you and if you dare say anything about what happened here to my husband consider yourself dead” Ariel warned and walked out with Eddy
After they left, Genova tried moving his body but he couldn’t, he was feeling pains all over his body, his middle region was on fire as a result of the kicks Eddy gave him earlier
He moved his hand to his back to touch the wound but mistakenly touch the hot iron that was still there beside him, it burned his hand and he quickly withdrew his hand
He tried standing up but weakness took over his body
“Lord help me” He said before passing out
****
Terri’s body is on fire as he suddenly started feeling strange pain over him
Tears slipped off his eyes and he fell down on the floor, his hand suddenly got burnt
“What’s happening?” He asked weakly, he started feeling his energy draining away from his body
He started seeing a guy in pains laying lifeless on the ground somewhere, it was to him like a vision, he saw the guy face clearly, he is so close to him
He raised his hand to touched his face but the vision stop immediately
He started feeling his energy coming back to him, the pains stopped and he stood up
“What just happened right now?” He asked himself
“Do I have any connection to the strange handsome guy, I don’t have any siblings, he was in pains and I was feeling his pains too, gosh” He said and buried his face into his palms
MASTER ASHLEY’S ROOM**
Master Ashley is sitting on the floor chanting some prayers when someone barged into his room unannounced, he opened his eyes and turned to the person with a glaring look
It turned out to be the librarian
“What’s the meaning of this?” He asked obviously annoyed
“Master… The library has just received a new strange book and I when I tried touching, I felt a force pushed me away from it, follow me please” The man said
Ashley stood up and walked out with him, they headed to the library
When they got there, Master Ashley saw the book on the table, he walked there carefully and looked down on it, he saw some writings on it in a strange language
He tried reading it but couldn’t, the more he tried the more he failed
“I can’t understand the words, it’s strange” Master Ashley said
“The book is so strange, I can’t even touch it” The librarian said
Master Ashley moved his hand towards the book and tried to open the first page but it refuse opening, he tried again but the next thing that happened was a strong force pushing him away from it, he stood up after a while with a confused look
“What’s the book all about?”
“Do we have any students here who is an aligist ?” The librarian asked
“Yes, Terri can read any language, go get him” Master Ashley said
The librarian bowed and left, he came back with Terri after some minutes
Immediately Terri entered the library, the book suddenly started glowing with a violet light surrounding it
“What!!” Master Ashley gasped loudly
The book flew from the table to Terri and fell on his hand
He looked at the book in shock then to master Ashley
“Master you..”
“Read what is written on the book cover” He said
Terri looked at the book and the strange words translated the meaning itself
On it was written THE LEGACY OF THE CHOSEN ONES
Master Ashley eyes widened as he heard what Terri said
The chosen ones!!
“This means two people are chosen as saviors of pure magic kingdom but how can two people be chosen at the same time” He said
“You can go back to your room” He said
Terri returned the book to the table carefully and left the library
“Does this means he is the chosen one too?” The librarian asked
“I think so but the golden staff will confirm everything, only one person will be the real chosen one, I have been suspecting his powers since the day he came here, Terri is the chosen one” He said
Outside the library stood someone eavdroping to their conversation, Master Ashley felt a presence and he stopped speaking, he started walking to the door, the person hearing his walking steps disappeared
He opened the door and saw no one outside, he sighed and walked back in
“I will wait for Master Seth to come back, I’m getting confuse already” He said closing the door back
****
A figure is seen running through the forest, she stopped at a particular point and called to someone
“Elezelda” She called and waited for her arrival
After waiting for five minutes, she appeared in a smoke of flames
“Did you find anything?” Elezelda asked
“Yes, I have found the chosen one but there’s a problem?”
“What is it?”
“Two guys are chosen, not only one person, a new book just arrived the school” She explained
“What!, I think the heavens are trying to mess around, only one person can be chosen not two, keep an eye on him” She said
” I will” She replied and disappeared
DEMON KINGDOM, THE PALACE**
Sitting on the dark throne is Draco the king of the demon kingdom
His face carried no emotions, the snakes around his head gave him a dangerous look
He is a demon with three heads, two on his shoulders, his red eyes blared dangerous with fire
Any ordinary human who will look at him will die instantly
Elezelda appeared and started walking towards him
She bowed to the ground with her face down, she dare but look at his face
“Your majesty” She said
“Elezelda” He called, his voice sounded just like thunder
“I have a great news for you my Lord” She said
“What’s it?”
“I have found the other chosen one” She replied and he instantly stood up
“Did you left your brain some where?, There’s only one person chosen in the prophecy”He said angrily
Elezelda almost melted where she was kneeling
” My Lord.. a new book just entered the pure magic school with a new prohecy, two boys are chosen ” She said
“It’s like Zeus is trying to play games, I will visit Anthen soon, I need to find the real chosen one and destroy him before he touches the golden staff, keep an eye on the school and report everything to me” He said
” Yes my Lord” Elezelda said and teleported out
” The two boys that escaped both night, I knew it was them, but who is the real chosen among them, I can’t them now but I will wait for the right time” He said
NEXT DAY, SCHOOL OF IMMORTALS**
TRAINING GROUND**
The students all walked to the training ground each with his or her sword straddle on their waist
Dreams, Gold and Blue entered the training ground and all eyes turned on them especially Dreams whom the ladies started drooling on
“Did they want to rape you?” Gold said hearing their comments
“Ion know, I’m hot it’s not their fault” He said proudly
“Ç0ç?y head” Blue hissed
The girls got there too, Sasha, Mirabel and Jisoo
Gold started staring at her without blinking, to him she is the most beautiful girl in the world
Blue saw him looking somewhere and traced his eyes to the direction, he smiled as he saw him staring at Sasha
“You like her don’t you?” He whispered to him
“Huh!, Who?” He asked
“Sasha, I caught you staring at her”
“Snap out of it, I wasn’t looking at her” He denied
“If you like her just tell her and stop eyes raping her” Blue said
Gold gave him a glare and he shut up
Elizabeth and Jessica both came there at the same time
Dreams smiled seeing her
” Tigress” He called out to the hearing of everyone, Jessica gave him a bad look before sitting down
” I don’t like Elizabeth” Jisoo said
” Same here with me”
” I don’t just like her” Mirabel said
“Where’s Terri?” Sasha asked no one in particular
“Looking for your potential boyfriend?” Jisoo asked
“Stop it, he is not my potential boyfriend” Sasha replied smiling secretly
“I will soon start crushing on someone” Mirabel said and they all laughed
Soon after Terri came there and as usual everyone started looking at him
Sasha bite her lips, he is looking so hot
To everyone surprise, he went and sat with the boys
“What the f_ck!” Dreams exclaimed
“What!” Terri asked
“You… You just sat with us, is that not a strange thing” He replied
“Nothing is strange here, I’m not a snake” He said and his eyes caught Sasha, he gave her a cute smile
“Good… morning Terri” Blue said like he was fighting with his words
“Morning guys and please stop taking me for a bad person, I don’t associate with people doesn’t mean I’m bad, thanks to someone who made me understand somethings” He said
“Okay,, but it’s still strange ” Gold said
Master Ashley walked there and the whole student stood up
“Morning master ”
” Morning students, I want to announce to you all that master Seth will be coming back very soon ” He said and the students started clapping
“Back to what you all are here to do, I want you all to master your powers and abilities, today you all will be training using your swords, you have to be physically able and spiritually able, this will give you advantage on all form of attack, but while fighting with each other don’t remove your sword for it sheath, now I will pair you up” He said
“I will start with the junior students ”
Master Ashley paired up the junior students after he was done he started pairing the senior ones
“Gold you will fight Den ”
“Elizabeth and Jessica”
Elizabeth and Jessica glared scornfully at each other
“Sasha and Malia”
“Terri and Dreams”
“Blue and Jisoo”
“Mirabel and Olivia” He said
” You can all start”
All the students stood up and took their positions facing their partners
“Show no mercy to your partner” He said
Den charge at Gold with his sword, Gold counter with his sword and kick him to the ground
Mirabel started fighting with Olivia, she is a strong opponent tho, the both kicked themselves and both of them fell to the ground
The training kept going on, with everybody putting in their full concentration
HUMAN WORLD, 9:09AM**
Genova hand moved slowly on the ground and his eyes opened slightly, ray of sunlight hit his face and he closed them back
He reopened his eyes again feeling more stronger, he stood up and walked to the mirror, he turned his back and look into the mirror to his greatest surprise the wound is healed up, no scar or anything there again, his skin fresh as before, his eyes went to his hand and he saw the same thing
“Maybe I’m not human” He said and looked at his lips which healed up
He felt no pains again, he rushed to the bathroom and took his bath, he came out and hurriedly wore his uniform, he looked at the time on the wall clock and gasped
9:57am
His mind went to the test he is having today at 10:30am
“I need to rush to school now” He said and took his bag running out
He saw no one in the house, Ariel and Eddy left the house before he woke up, they didn’t even care to check him out
He tried opening the door but it was locked
“What will I do now” He said sadly
“Open up this door” He said and shockingly the door open itself
He didn’t have time to think about what happened, so he rushed out and started running to school
THE CLASS**
Kathrine kept looking at the door every passing second, she kept wondering what happened to Genova, he is not a late coming type of student, she wanted to ask Eddy but on a second thought refrained herself
The Geography teacher walked in the class and without saying anything to the students, he wrote test on the board
Eddy kept smiling as he knows for sure that Genova will miss the test
The teacher distributed the question papers to students
Kathrine started loosing hope of him showing up
In that moment Genova rushed to class, panting heavily due to the way he run to school with an incredible speed, to him he thought it was normal but it wasn’t
The teacher turned and gave him a hard look
“Why are you coming to school by this time?” He asked
He started scratching his head
“Erm, I woke up late” He said
“If not that you’re the most brilliant student here i won’t have allow you to take this test, go to your seat” He said
Genova went to his seat, Kathrine flashed him a smile immediately he sat down
“Morning” He whispered to her
The teacher gave him the question paper and he started writing
Eddy frowned in disappointment
“How did he open the door” He muttered
****
The test came to an end after forty minutes, the teacher collected the papers and walked out of the class
Kathrine faced Genova with a look that said start explaining
” I slept late last night, I was reading but I was finding it hard to comprehend, so I ended up sleeping so late”He said
” Okay, you scared me, I thought you were going to miss the test” She said
“I am sorry ” He said
Kathrine smiled and hugged him, he felt uncomfortable but decided to hug her back
Eddy glared at them from where he is sitting, biting his lips in jealousy
LIBRARY**
“I am tired” Kathrine said tiredly
“Lazy @zz” Genova laughed
“Are you serious?, we have been studying for two hours straight now” She frowned
“Two hours is not a big deal, I can study for more than five hours”
“Everyone is not a genius like you” She pouted
“You’re cute” He said and she looked at him
“I mean when you pout” He said regretting it
“Thanks, but Genova am I really beautiful?” She asked
“Yes you’re, did someone said you are ugly?”
“Not really”
“You’re cute, I think we should leave now since you are tired” He said standing up
“Are you trying to say you are not tired?” She asked
“In a nutshell yes” He replied
“bulldozer” She smiled
She tried to stand up and mistakenly her hand hit the books on the table and it fell to the ground
Her and Genova bent to picked it at the same time and their faces met, Kathrine stared at his red lips and for a minute none of them moved, she started leaning for his lips, Genova stood transfixed, her lips was about touching his when the door opened and a student walked in, they quickly started picking up the books
They placed it back on the table and walked out
JESSICA’S ROOM**
Training finished some hours ago and currently she just had her bath
She sat on the chair in her room after dressing up and she started feeling some weird vibes, she looked around for any trace but found nothing
“Maybe I am just overthinking” She said and pour herself a drink
She made to drink it when a hand hold her
She looked up and saw Dreams holding her hand, she looked at him then to her hand
She stood up and pushed him, she placed the cup back on the table
“What are you doing here and how did you get in here, shameless f_cker?” She asked
“Why are you always talking about my s*x life when yelling at me or are you perhaps jealous….”
“Oh!! shut up, I better remain a virgin than to f_ck you, why would I be jealous, I h@?? you” She yelled
” I know”
” Leave” She said and took the cup again
” You’re tough but I didn’t know you can’t sense something dangerous to your body” He said
“What did you mean?” She raised a brow
“The drink is poisoned” He replied
Jessica started laughing
“Oh, you just succeeded in making me to laugh, how did you know my drink is poisoned?” She asked
“I know, you can’t see what I’m seeing cos you are in the dark” He replied
“If you don’t have anything to say leave”
” I can open up your eyes to see what I’m seeing but I don’t think you will agree to the condition”
“Which is?”
“kissing you” He replied
Jessica glared at him
“So if you kiss me I will see what is in my drink and what if I don’t see anything?”
“Then do to me anything you want” He replied
Jessica stood on her toes and kissed him lightly but Dreams pulled her closer and kissed her deeply, savouring the taste of her lips
