Chapter 3

I am walking silently on the crowded hallway, sitting beside me is my brother, Nightyleon who is as silent us our names while we were walking, and I noticed that his forehead is crease like he do not like what is happening around us.

Eyes are all over us and it's making me uncomfortable. We are going to the first schedule of the class but because the academy is huge, it took us long to walk towards there.

I tried to asked one of the students, thankfully, she manage to tell me which way to go.

"It's on the highest tower, located on the 10th floor."

I nodded after thanking her. Just by entering the crowded hall, I can sense a lot of eyes staring and gawking at us.

I understand their curiosity because it is very rare of us to be seen on a place like this. Seeing a god or a goddess in a city is not common. Because for them, there's no way that a proud clan like us would be mingling with the likes of them.

We went inside a huge room, the upper class A+ students look at us as we enter.

I sense danger coming on my right, and so I dodge the golden danger using the silver white shield barrier. My eyesight became clearer as I look at the girl who attacked me. She is walking towards my position, an angel, huh.

Her eyebrow went up when she saw Nightyleon on my side.

"Wow. The new member of the A+ is a bitch? That's how low your race became that you flirt that early?" Her voice screams mockery.

That was a rude remark, and it was a very wrong mindset, sucks to be her.

I can feel my brothers rage by the aura he is holding. I don't care what this lowly angel throw at me, I am aware that I am far above of her.

I walk towards a vacant sit, and instead of arguing, I stayed silent and control my emotions. I heard her angry groan because of what I did. That is why those who are watching what happened bark in laughters, some just smirked and smiled.

As I sit beside my brother, I hold his hand because I noticed his glares towards the angel. He is young but he is already aware of what is happening. I can see rage in his eyes that is why I sweetly smiled at him, assuring that I am fine.

Good thing is, the Master arrived right after, he will be teaching history, which I find boring because all of us here, for sure, knows and already memorized the history of this world.

I became relieved when he did not questioned my brothers presence when he saw him, seems like the Headmistress told them about us.

As of now, he's tackling about the history of the demon clan. I find them dangerous because of their strength and aggressiveness. They are one of the race that anyone should not cross paths or became enemies with because their rage is not something anyone could handle. They are a silent clan, but their anger screams war.

The demon clan's palace were mentioned, it is found on the west part of our world, they are reigning on that part, they are hard to be against because they are both genius when it comes to offense and defense. But the war between clans are already finished long ago. Each has own reigning kingdoms, and because of that we do not meddle with each others business anymore, as long as no one will dare to anger each other.

The current Queen and King of the Demon Clan are King Favios, and Queen Malve. The royal family is the strongest among all the demons that's why they are on the throne. Our professor also mentioned that their offspring are two princes and one princess.

Above all, one of the prince is studying here.

"Speaking of, where the heck is Azai Magnus!" Our Master's face is already turning red in anger, his veins are very evident on his forehead.

I turn my head towards the guy who laughed behind me, he's a fairy.

"He must be sleeping somewhere the campus, Sir!"

The others chuckled because of what the fairy said. Because of the commotion, our Master for history class sighed in front. He just shake his head and look at the clock, the sand timer indicates he only have few minutes left.

In the midst of the remaining time that we have, a man entered, his dark black hair is messy, his eyes are very dark, like darkness itself.

His gazes went to me who can't help but to look back. I can sense that he is a demon. His intensity is like the black fire from underworld.

"Azai Magnus! You are always late on my class!" It is very evident how stressed out our Master is towards the guy.

I revert my eyes away when I felt Nightyleon's soft touch on my hand.

"Sishter..." He mumbled.

I carried him on my lap and slightly touch his cute cheeks. His eyes really resembles mine.

After minutes, our Master went out of the class dismissing us, and based on the schedule, we need to go to the east part of the academy near the forest.

When we walk outside the room, I sense the angels glare on my back. She bump my shoulder intentionally when she passed by me.

My brow furrow because of her nonsense anger at me. I only met her just now and she's already throwing her fire on me.

I shake my head in disbelief and continued to walk instead with my brother.

Good thing is, the place is not hard to reach. It's in the open area and I saw a beautiful lady wearing a red cloak at the center. The upper class A+ is only few so we can scatter as much as we want. I sat near the tree just enough to see everyone of them.

"I'll be training all of you to be stronger, and now that you have someone added, let's start building greater stamina," she started.

I felt uneasy with the intense stare someone is giving me. He must be curious of me. I did my best not to stare back, I don't have time for anyone but myself and Nightyleon.

We were lead by Lady Amory, her name, towards the peak of the stairs, she told us that the statue above it is called The Hand Of Time. We almost do not see the top part because only the clouds were seen. It is in a hidden part of the academy and only few is allowed to come here unless they have the permission from a professor or the Headmistress herself.

She give an assignment, we need to be able to run 20 times in a day, unless we finished it, we can not proceed to the higher level of training.

"When we first build stamina it wasn't this hard," the girl beside me said. She is a hybrid, half wizard and half fairy.

"I am Clea," she offer her hand.

My eyes went down to Nightyleon who eyes the peak of the stairs with curiosity in his eyes.

I look back at Clea to accept her handshake. It would be rude if I decline it.

"Silentis Night, my name is Silentis Night."

Her eyes twinkle at that.

"I love your name!" She hook her arms on mine.

"Please introduce me to your son!"

I purse my lips a bit on what she said.

"She's my brother."

Her eyes immediately widened as her mouth gape, she apologized right away.

"I'm sorry! Serenity told us, that angel who throw a dagger on you awhile ago, that he is your son. She's spouting nonsense to the whole class of A+."

She's bubbly, that, I can say. Shaking my head, I frown in disbelief on what the angel told to the others. Her name is Serenity and she's so far from being serene, I wonder why they name her that.

"I'm sorry on behalf of her, she just have a deep angry on your clan."

That answers my question. She better have a good reason for throwing anger on me.

Well, whatever reason is it, I can feel that it is huge. She won't be throwing dagger like that on someone she just met if it's shallow.

Still, for me, nothing is good enough reason to hurt others who did not hurt you, or others who is just innocently minding their own business.

"Silentis Night, is it?" Lady Amory went to our direction.

"Let me carry Silentus Nightyleon, start with your training."

She went towards my brother who is near my leg, standing and gawking at her.

He stare at her like he's looking at someone weird. My lips arc at his reaction when Lady Amory carry him on her arms.

Clea remind me to continue our run upwards, that is why I rushly kiss Nightyleon's forehead for a not so long goodbye.

I can feel my speed enhance since the day I carry the title. The wind brush harshly against my skin as I run faster. I did not even noticed mine and Clea's distance from each other.

Even though I am accelerating fast, my vision is still vivid. I accelerate to the point that I was able to run together with some, especially the prince of the demon clan, he looks so serious while running upwards.

I focus myself on running, it took us half an hour to reach the top, with that speed! The height is not a joke!

I roam my eyes around. I fell in awe when I saw a huge statue of a clock with only one hand. It is made from silver and gold, I can also see pearls and diamonds. This is a real treasure.

I pant while I am looking at it. It looks old, and it is slightly covered by the mist cause by the clouds, but its beauty radiates.

I went near to touch it, the god of time will be very happy to see this.

My head turns when I felt someone's presense nearing. The prince of demon clan is also eyeing the statue.

I was surprised when he summon a black fire with his hand, he was about to touch the treasure in front of us, but I catch it in the midway to stop him from doing anything.

"What are you doing?" My voice echoed.

His eyes became sharp, it is full of intensity. His lips fall into a grim line.

"What do you think you are doing?" I asked once again.

"Mind your own business."

My grasp on him were suddenly release because of it.

I shake my head. Why am I sticking my nose on his business, anyways? I shouldn't care even if he destroy everything on his way. The only reason why I'm here is to be stronger.

I turn my back on him and started running down this time. I repeat it several times, and on my fifteenth attempt to run upwards, I can feel my knees shaking. My lungs are also stinging, because my heartbeats were rising as I run, it was harder to breathe.

I take a glimpse of the statue on the middle when I finished another run towards the top. There was no trace of defects on it. Did he stop himself? Or is he even trying to destroy that thing? My cheeks went hot on the realization, he must be checking something! I overreacted.

"Bitch. You're tough, huh? Having an offspring gave you that strength, eh?" Serenity, the angel went in front of me.

Why is she always picking a fight? My forehead crease but I chose to turn away from her, I don't have time for her fuss.

I felt her attacking me so suddenly on my back while I was stepping down the first stair. I immediately move my body from her aggressive stance. My eyes immediately widened, because because of what I did, she wasn't able to control her balance and gushed down instead.

What's the use of her wings?

I shake my head when I hurt a loud groan. I run fastly towards her, good thing, Clea, the hybrid wizard and fairy caught her while falling. She will be very wounded if no one caught her, she must be thankful.

When I came near them, the raging angel attacked me. Her face doesn't suit her temper and filthy attitude. She's just so aggressive and wild, not very holy like her clan as an angel.

"You bitch! How dare you to do this to me!" I close my eyes tightly. Goodness, her voice is so loud! I bet everyone can hear us from where they are.

"You think you're someone highly just because you're a goddess?! No! I won't bow down to you! All you have are your freaking large ego and towering pride!"

I don't know where she is coming from, but tossing it all to me, giving me a headache and murdering my ears with her loud voice, she's making me mad!

She throws her anger at me with words I do not even listen to! I stare at her red cheeks because of anger, her glaring eyes and showing veins, the holes from her nose are also getting bigger as she inhale and exhale sharply.

"Are you done?" I asked, at last.

She became silent. I went nearer and I look directly on her eyes. I can sense her defense as I did that.

"All your banters are directed to the wrong person. I don't care about your anger towards our clan. But you are stooping low like a lowly creature, don't give dirt to the name of the Angels Clan by acting like a spoiled child in front of me. I am not here to pamper your spoiled ass."

Her mouth gape at my remark. She blink several times, and when she's about to speak again. I added something that made her jaw drop.

"Lastly, your loud ugly voice is such a torture to my ears."

And by that, I am aware, I made an enemy out from her.

I came across the prince of the demons when I walk out from her. He's giving me an amused look which made me stop.

"What?" I asked.

I became nervous when he came near me. His hand went to the tips of my long wavy hair near my waist.

Eyebrows furrowed, I tried to push him but he did not let me win. He stood straight in front me, scanning my face.

"I am very curious." His eyes sparks danger. My hand turn into fist.

I'm about to push him again when he hold one of my wrist. My eyes widened, I wanted to fight him, because I can sense danger from him, but his intensity is stopping me. His fingers playing on the tip of my hair and his body near mine are sending me something, something I haven't felt before.

"Why did someone like you appear in here..." he let go of my wrist.

With the use of my last remaining strength, I pushed him away from me, but he was able to balance himself.

What the heck just happened.

Out of focus, I finished the assignment given to us.

I was relieved when I saw my brother in good hands, he look calm while eating together with Lady Amory. He finished his milk and went to me.

My fast heartbeats suddenly became calm. Now, I know who to avoid.

"I am aware of what happened to your Destined Leader Garon and to the stolen roll," Lady Amory said out of nowhere.

My eyes went to her with all seriousness, and she equal my eyes with the same emotion.

"Sooner or later, everyone will hear about that. You know that, am I right?"

I know that. And for sure, some will take advantage of our situation. Someone with greed and obsession of power. But I trust the other gods, they are wise enough not to be fooled. Others won't be able to manipulate them.

Like what the angel, Serenity said, we have large ego and towering pride, we won't let anyone stood above us. No one can master a god.
