BAB 36

"You're doing good, Sabrina." I heard Savienna's voice inside my head.

'I know Sis. I laughed hard. A laugh I wasn't capable of hearing, what kind of laugh was that? That was like an evil laugh.

I looked around and saw many unconscious people. I counted everyone standing and I smiled. 20, and I'm one of them. I passed Level 1.

"Good job, 20 students! I expected a lot from you all."

"To those who are injured, or dead we will pay for your funeral services." I was immediately terrified by Deus' voice. He's like dumping dead bodies like dumped tissues.

"We will post the rankings for now. You can go to your dorm rooms, have a nice afternoon! Mafias!" One announcement and leaderboards immediately replaced the previously sitting headmasters.

Oh? I'm in 13th place. Brenda is in 8th, and Maureen is in '7th.

"Ah, I know I have some mafia blood in me." I heard Brenda say while smiling at me.

"Nice one, Reian. 4 kills isn't bad," Maureen said with a smile. I nodded at him.

"You're really good out there. Especially your eyes, your aura suddenly changed." Brenda said as we walked out of the arena together.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Yes! We thought you were modest and that you wouldn't pass here because you're smart. But earlier, you were like a tiger that got out of its cage." Maureen said.

"I think what I saw in your eyes was familiar...hmm what is it again?. -" Brenda paused.

"Bloodlust? Yeah! Bloodlust."

What? Bloodlust? Just like what Savienna has?

When I returned to the dorm, I immediately called Savienna using the telephone in my dorm. He immediately answered.

"Who's this?" He asked on the other line.

"It's me," I said briefly, I heard the noise on the other line of loud music.

"Oh, why were you summoned is there

something that we need to know?" Savienna asked me. I sighed. I should tell her, right? This is the first time I am in this state and as a sister maybe he should know.

"I just killed four people today..." I said weakly. I heard silence on the other line, so I immediately got nervous. What if, Savienna didn't kill someone during her level 1 training? What if it's just me?

"Are you serious?" I heard the doubt in his voice. Did he think I was lying?

"Yes, Savienna. I am deadly serious." My voice was full while saying that.

"Well, four kills isn't bad. What kind of training do you have? Is it difficult?" Is it different? I thought all training was the same.

"We are locked in an arena and we must kill each other and the 20 students left will continue," I explained, I heard Savienna's laugh on the other line so I frowned.

"Oh god, how many do you think there are?" he asked.

"Around 300 to 370, maybe," I said.

"Pfft. And you only killed four?! That's hilarious Sab! You need to work more. Maybe Deus is not convinced about you anymore." He promised.

"What do you mean by that? That I have to kill more just to meet Deus's expectations?" I can't stop being annoyed because of what Savienna said, why is she living with anyone else's expectations?

"Nope. All I'm saying is don't embarrass the image I've created there. I'm the one who introduced you, so they expect more about you. Imagine? I, the great Reina with you. Work more, Reian." I heard him say. I sighed.

"One more thing sav."

"Yeah? what is it?"

"I think I just had a bloodlust earlier." The other line went silent again, making me nervous again. What's with bloodlust? Even Savienna can't handle the bloodlust she has.

What I know about him is that once someone stares at him badly, his bloodlust is activated. But...how about me?

"Sabrina, you're in danger." I tensed up because of Savienna's response. What does she mean?

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Listen Sab, bloodlust is not easy to handle. Because when I have it, I feel like I'm going crazy. It's like everything I see I want to destroy, bloodlust is scary..." she paused for a while.

"Bloodlust will make you do things you aren't capable of doing. I didn't mean to choke Audrey like that, then. It's just my bloodlust." Bloodlust. Why do we have that? Why?

"Why did you have that? Why didn't other people have that? Why are we the ones who have that?" I asked.

"Father has it too, and Saint. Mafia bosses who have bloodlust are the scariest ones. I know I'm strong but I might harm myself too if bloodlust hits me." What does he mean? Hurt herself?

And Saint has it too? I've never seen him with his bloodlust.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Bloodlust isn't easy to handle. It can make you do things you aren't capable of. You don't know what you're doing, your body doesn't know how to get tired if bloodlust attacks you. And in exchange for that killing, your body will be drained. And bloodlust won't let you, it will eat you. So you'll tend to hurt yourself."

"And you won't let that happen, right?"

"Never Savienna, never," I said firmly. I will never let bloodlust consume my whole being. Never.

"Then learn to control it. Control the bloodlust you have, I can control mine sometimes. But you need to control it. ASAP."

"I will," I said and hung up.

Bloodlust is scarier than I think.

The next day we were all sent to the gym, all of us who passed the stage 1 training. Some of us are tired and haven't slept well, while others don't care what's going on.

Some are already close to each other and already building their squad. We were told that our physical trainer will be introduced to us, where he will teach us how to use guns, bows, knives, and other weapons.

"Yes! Reian, I'm excited. I am good at using bows I can't deny that." Maureen said with a smile. We all sat on the bleachers and waited for the teacher to join us.

"I think I can use knives though," Brenda said with a shrug.

"And you, Reian? Do you know any weapons to use?" Maureen asked me. I? I don't know anything about this field, after all, I'm new to this.

"I don't know yet, because I can't handle any weapon," I answered her.

"That's weird. It says in Reina's biography, that she's your twin. She's been trained since she was a toddler. So why you? Didn't they train her?" Savienna has a biography here? Did she make a name here huh?

"Ah, because we got separated when we were young. And he was left with mommy, while I was with daddy." They just nodded at me and continued talking about weapons.

All the students were quiet when the gym gate suddenly opened, they all looked at the gate and a woman and a man entered.

My eyes widened when I recognized who the two entered the gym. Don't tell me they will teach us? I was immediately nervous.

When they stood in front of us all, my classmates immediately looked at me. Even they could not believe what they were seeing.

"Good morning, young mafias. I am Reina Hernandez. I am your physical trainer." Savienna? Why is he here?

"I am Psalm Sudalga. I am your weapon instructor." And also Psalm... Why are the two of them here?

"Hey, Reian, you look alike," Maureen told me that our other classmates did nothing but gossip.
