The Valley of Truth (Part-1)

The day was as lovely as any other, old man Duncan was quoting another mysterious text as always. The class was unexpectedly full of students which is weird because no one likes Duncan. Who knew the sudden argument between the two of them will be the reason for this tragedy.

Duncan proudly addresses the mysterious quote to the class.

"When evilness spreads like water in the world, the supreme creatures that indulge in the darkness will emerge and a hope of light will appear before the chosen ones and the world will once again welcome the day and embrace the night"

This incredible message is from the Great Kodai. Which is engraved in one of his Hakai weapons that he left for us.

Duncan addressed the class proudly.

Duncan leans at the table in a manner that intimidates the class though his motive was to ask the students to ask questions.

Does any of you little shits have questions, ask if you have the guts, or have ya peed your pants already? Duncan tries to be kind but his tsundere nature overcomes his inner feelings.

Wondering what happened next? Find out more in our next chapter!!!

Just kidding...

Being the clown of the class, as usual, Alex raised his hand. He was pretty excited because he knew Duncan was a pretty straightforward person so he may answer his theories.

Sir, all the teachers say his what he engraved but what about... What do they mean? Where are these Hakai or are they even real or they are just for fascination!!! Do…!!

As he was speaking Duncan being the hot-blooded Maniac interrupted him in a very pleasant and polite manner.

Silence u little shit!!! They are more real than me or you will ever be!!!!!!!!

Exclaimed Duncan in a very polite manner. Duncan is a gentle person. Anyone would just be scared or not utter another word from his mouth but, this guy wasn't your average person.

Alex replied in an even more excited and curious tone.

Then..., where are the…

He was once again interrupted by our friendly neighborhood Duncan. Duncan was extremely angry and furious with this individual. He replied in a very commanding voice.

Enough....!!!!

The whole classroom or maybe the whole palace was shaking because of Duncan's sudden anger. His aura was leaking out and his eyes were bloody red and lightning was emitting throughout his body. The moment Duncan started walking toward the student. A loud voice was heard.

Come!!!!

Alex nervously asks Duncan.

Sir…. What was the...a

Duncan's expression changed suddenly from furious to scared. Duncan hits the wall to vent out his anger as a result the wall collapsed in a matter of seconds. Duncan teleports to another location after glaring at Alex menacingly.

Class dismissed!!!

The students were all nervous about the previous incident.

Alex was irritated by the incident rather than scared by it.

Whatttttttttt!! I need answers Daaaamnit!!!

Another student (Edric) who was rather good-looking and had a certain flair to him, passed a rather interesting remark.

Why do you even try idiot??

Edric was rather calm in his tone which made his sudden comment even more embarrassing for Alex.

Alex who was already irritated by the incident replied angrily.

What did you just say!!!

Edric again in a calm and composed tone continued the conversation.

You can't even hear idiot???!!

Alex was rather short-tempered, just like a certain individual. Moved toward Edric and held Edric's collar in his left hand and was about to express his anger.

Damn You!!!

The moment Alex was going to strike Edric's face with his punch was stopped by a certain invisible yet firm force.

You both are idiots!!

Gloria was another student in the academy. Stopped them both in a rather bossy tone.

Both of them were scared of Gloria, for a moment their ego got the upper hand over their instinct.

What!!!!

Both expressed their anger in unison, but Gloria being well... Gloria replied in a more commanding and sassy tone.

Got any problem with that!!?

As usual, their instinct came back. Both replied in a nervous voice.

Not a thing…

Gloria is proud of herself, smirched at their helplessness.

Hehe...

Alex was disappointed and confused by his friends. Asked a sudden, yet shocking question for any normal person, but he wasn't your average guy.

I just don't understand how can you guys not have any questions about Kageyama…!!!!

Edric and Gloria were both shocked by Alex's sudden remark.

You really are an idiot...

Edric commented in a calm tone.

Yeah... you can't say it

Gloria added nervously.

Hiromi was listening to their conversation quietly. Expressed her concern for Alex in a soft tone.

Yeah, you can't you know right it's forbidden

Hiromi was a childhood friend of Alex. Both of them were each other's best friends as they have always been with each other.

You guys are pussies….

Alex mumbled an irritatingly.

And…. You are an idiot

Edric in his usual tone taunted Alex.

Now you have done it….

Alex couldn't control himself any longer he jumped on Edric and punched him in the face. Edric pulled his hair and gave him a knee strike. Alex held Edric's waist and performed mid-air using him as a stepping stone and performed a low kick at his toe region. Edric fell as a result and was about to retaliate. Before, he could retaliate both of them were stopped by an unknown force again this time both of them were paralyzed.

What…... is this!!!!... Am I paralyzed….

Alex inquired shockingly.

You think…. hehe

Edric replied sarcastically.

Now just stay put idiots!!!

Both of them were shocked and grew even more afraid of the lioness.

Hiromi who had a very cheerful personality was also shocked by her friend.

When did you learn paralysis magic!!??!

Gloria grinned.

You know me… just full of surprises... hehe

Hiromi noticed something off in Gloria's tone but didn't express her concern.

It wasn't Paralysis!!!

Edric informed in a strange and commanding voice, which almost felt like an evil voice. The whole group was extremely shocked by the sudden change in Edric's voice. They started staring at him, to demand an explanation from him.

What..?

Edric asked in his normal voice, with his usual composure.

You...r Voice was…

Alex was confused and inquired about the sudden change in Edric's voice.

Differ...e..n…t

Hiromi added on.

More like a dark…...voice...e

Gloria stated in a confused tone.

Yea...h right…

Edric tried to dodge the obvious concerns from his friends but his friends were not going to let him leave without an explanation.

We are serious Sebi…...

Gloria implied she was seriously worried about him.

Please tell us, what was that?

Hiromi urged Edric to explain the incident to them.

Edric...

Alex hinted at his concern again.

It's nothing….

Edric continued in his charade and shifted his gaze to the corridor.

The corridor was just outside the classroom. Noticing Edric's intentions to escape, Gloria and Alex jumped in front of him.

You are not going anywhere unless you tell us everything.

Exclaimed both of them in unison.

I'm sorry but you know it's a family thing….

Eric indicated that it's something he can't talk about.

You can tell us we are your friends...

Alex inclined that it's fine to tell them about the strange voice.

Yeah, you can ….

Hiromi and Gloria insisted that he can share the issue with them.

No, I can't…...

Edric indicates that he wants to tell his friends but he can't.

Why because we are not royals…...

Alex inquired in a serious tone.

What!! where did that come from????

Edric was caught off guard by Alex's accusation.

Just... tell me is that the reason…...

Alex was convinced that it was the reason because out of every one of them only Edric was a royal. They were all best of friends but countless times Edric's clansmen have stopped Edric from interacting with the group.

No., that's not the reason... (after a pause) idiot.

Edric understood Alex's concern so he assured him by teasing him.

Oh… Mr. Royalty….

Gloria mocked him sarcastically.

Yeah… it's... forbidden.

Edric reassured the group by mentioning something even more shocking.

Forbidden!!!!!

Hiromi and Gloria screamed.

What do you mean it's forbidden??!!

Alex inquired in excitement.

Edric starts pulling up his shit.

What arr...e... you doing!!!

Gloria blushes and closes her eyes with her hands, although she also peaks a little from the space between her hands.

Hold your horses will ya...

Edric informs in embarrassment. Edric shows the embedded symbol that he has scared on his abdominal muscles. The scar shows the symbol of his royal family.

Who the fuck did that to you… tell me...!!!!

Alex demanded furiously.

I can't tell you idiot can't you see!!

Edric was shocked by Alex's stupidity once again.

He...y… Sebi is it….!!!!

Hiromi inquired.

The forbidden symbol of the royal families??!!!!!

Gloria informed the group angrily.

Edric nervously nods his head.
