🔹Chapter 9: The Elite Circle🔹

"Due to the unexpected accident, our members will be shortened to 23. Still, I believe that this amount is right."

25 people inside a closed area, 2 adults and 23 students. Alpha rested her chin on the back of her hand as she eyed every student present.

"Before starting the orientation, I want everyone to formally introduce themselves. We've seen the capabilities of one another but I want you all to get closer  for starting today, these are the faces you'll be seeing every day. Let's start with our first winner, Malik."

Malik, sitting next to Alpha, fixed his pose and greeted everyone. "Good afternoon, I am Malik Jude Evergreen, a student of Camp Harber Academy."

Followed by his seatmate, the second winner of the one-on-one. "I am Windimie Sirius. I'm from Chaucer Private Academy. I prefer to be called Wendy."

"My name is Dianna Jhazno. I'm a student of Acrynstrat University."

"I'm Kamika Faelon Liu Urnea, a current student of Elistein Academy. I'm also an assistant medic of the school."

"Nicolas Ontario, from Horthgar Academy. A pleasure to be here."

"I am Laharni Hrisskar, also a student of Camp Harber Academy."

"I'm Noemi Joann Farian, from Rinsdor Private School. Nice to meet you all."

"My name is Izarra Madelin Luthor. You've probably heard my name, Yes! I am the grand princess of Patricla Royal School. No photos please, my skin is sensitive."

"You sure are one heck of a brat." The girl next to Izarra spoke, yawning as she rubbed her eyes.

"Excuse me!? How dare you speak to me that way! I'll have yo---"

"Beaten up by my father, yadda, yadda..." The girl said, trying to imitate Izarra's tone. Izarra was about to complain but the girl stopped her and continued. "Move princess, it's my turn!" And swirled Izarra's seat making her spin.

"I'm Arriane Nevin Issyk. Hygeltrat's student."

Before Izarra and Arriane fight, Kiarra quickly moves on and introduces herself. "Hello everyone! I'm Kiarra Larian Liu Urnea, Kamika's younger sister. I also study at Elistein Academy."

"Horace. Gertria Private School." Several members stared at Horace and some looked at Alpha in confusion.

"Horace is Chronos's pen name in Gertria. I take it that he prefers that name instead of Chronos." Alpha explained and gestured to the next student to continue.

"Julius Efyr, from Acrynstrat University."

"Jonah Louis Windford. I formerly studied at Westminster University."

"If I may, Westminster is a Royal school in Criestle, correct?" Nicolas asked.

"Yes, although I can say it's just similar to a normal private school. Your turn." He said and leaned on the chair as he placed the turn to Rhyan.

"Rhyan Manzel, from Scyldeor University. Please don't use my second name."

"Copy that," Alpha said and proceeded with the next student.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Solea Chalcedon, studying at Eyres State University."

"Your grandfather is the current head of the school, correct dear?" Alpha asked.

"Yes. But I was informed he'll retire next year."

"It's alright. Before he does, I'll have a word with him about that wine he kept at the government party. How dare he steal it in front of me?" Alpha murmured the last sentences but Ylona was able to hear it, turning her face sour.
