The academia, is a city built on the lands where the first angels come down from heavens, and where all their next generation travels to seek the redemption from the chaos.

 

 

 

“Welcome everyone”

a voice said louder to take the attention of everyone around him, the man with the voice was standing near a big closed gate where a massive number of young people were waiting there for the time to be opened, waiting for the gates of the one and only Academia.

And by him showing up from inside everyone went silent to hear what he was about to say

“As you all know, today is the day for our Academia to open it gate, in a few moments we will be taking everyone in, one by one, am aware that a lot of you have taken days to arrive here and all of you are tired but please be patient with us and stay in the line, in the end of the day all the suitable candidate will be settled in their rooms inside our Academia City, thank you”

 

With those words he turns back to the gates to get ready for his work

 

The people waiting start talking again and the noise was getting louder and louder, in between them, one was huffing nonstop because of how he was so nervous, seeing all those here, his heartbeat start racing, scared if he failed, especially in his speech.

“Come on HueningKai you can do it” he whispered trying to calm himself, but no good, he starts walking in the crowds to find a place with less people even if that means he will be the last one to enter the city in the line

“Are you okay?”

Suddenly he heard someone asking but of course he doesn’t know anyone so he automatically thought that someone speaking with someone else, but still, he turned to the voice direction while still walking away, but for his surprise a boy was looking at him with a concern look. His legs stopped immediately with “you talking to me?”

The boy nodded

“a-am just not comfortable in the crowded places” he said a little bit shy to confess that to a stranger but somehow it felt better to say it out loud (what a Pillar of Love he is) he thought.

“That happens if you are not used to it”

the boy seems completely fine with it, and HueningKai felt so strange how he starts to calm down by just talking to him “y-yes am not, first time” he laughed awkwardly

with their little conversation going on the big Academia City Gate start to get open, again that brings everyone silent mode on looking at the gate.

“Such a big gate, and the walls around it, like it’s a prison” the boy said

HueningKai nodded “Yes they build this city for 10 years, just for this moment”

The boy nodded “yes for when the last Pillar turn 18, they will hold the ceremony inside as far as it could be from the 5 realms to delay the catastrophe as much as they can if something went wrong”

HueningKai felt the pressure thinking of it “y-yes”

“I will be taking the line, come the fast you enter the fast you leave the crowd” the boy said walking away, HueningKai nodded with himself, trying to catch up and take the line too with his new friend

 

***

 

Seeing that people start getting in the line that host spoke again.

“Please make sure to take two lines one to those from the realm of Wisdom, hope, dedication, and love, And the little gate there with my colleague for those from the realm of justice the lands beyond” he pointed to a small door near the big gate as if it was just for the servants

 

The words definitely took HueningKai new friend attention “Is this a joke? Why separating us?” the boy said with a mad tone “That unfair”

he wanted to leave the line and go ask why but HueningKai grabbed him back to the line with…“w-what are you doing?” he said a little embarrassed of the boy he just made as friend who was trying to break the rules.

The boy eyebrow raised up looking at HueningKai touching him, and that was the signal for the last to take his hands off his arm

 

 

“All the rules here made by the wisdom king, so basically you will just embarrass yourself if you go there”

another boy approached the two

“They say that over the years the lands beyond are against the pillar of wisdom to rule this nation, and since the realm of justice is without a ruler, most of those traitors settled inside of it hiding and planning for no good, first let separate those obvious ones using the IDs then we find the bad ones”

HueningKai was surprised of how this guy just start talking to them “you know him?” he asked his new friend who shake his head a no before he said

“The military?” the Boy asked open noticing his clothes, wondering why someone who actually have an important job doing here “no offense but don’t you have better things to do?”

The boy who just arrived smiled “yes one of them is protecting you my prince”

 

HueningKai eyes got wide open looking at the two “what?”

 

Of course, not just him who heard that all those next to them did, and whispers started

“Just Soobin please” the new friend of the pillar of love said and HueningKai screamed in amazed

“WOOH Pillar of wisdom!”

“Soobin” Soobin repeated not wanting any attentions, but that was too late especially when the other just screamed without thinking

“Am the pillar of love” while taking out a necklace that was hiding under his clothes

“What!” Soobin was more surprised, (is it a coincidence?)

but immediately the military boy put the necklace back under HueningKai Clothes

“You should not show that in public” he looks at Soobin “I should introduce myself too, am the pillar of dedication, Taehyun, here to do my job of protecting all of you and be a part of you at the same time"

Soobin and HueningKai were both amazed of how confident and dedicated this guy to his position just from his way of talking

“isn’t this a little bit odd” Soobin admits it “I actually wasn’t interesting in anyone till I saw you walking by me” he said looking at HueningKai

"we ment to meet i guess but we still need the Hope pillar” HueningKai said in excitement

 

“The pillars? Where” that host said louder then everyone “please come in directly” he yells again and everyone there just turn to look at them

 

“Damn and I thought I will keep it a secret” Soobin shrugs in defeat

“Let’s go” Taehyun said “we actually not supposed to be in a crowd we don’t know what are we capable of yet” the two others nodded in agreement knowing that the stories their parent telling are not normal stories but a fantasy story for every kids

The three, start walking to the gate, and all eyes were on them, one line was proud clapping and cheering loudly for their future heroes, the other line was silent.

 

Upon reaching the gates, that host was smiling a big happy smile, “please show me your ID number and show me your artifacts” yes, he still needs to confirm their identities

The three immediately start taking out what needed, but Soobin attention got stolen by the one next to them in the small door

“Where are you from?” The colleague of the host asked

“The lands beyond, Krusuar area to be exact”

 

Soobin wondered how much others they are except of the 5 realms he knows, because no one ever talked about them, and hearing that they look like they even have names for those areas

 

“Is this your ID” the second host asked

“isn’t that my face, or should I take out your eyes for you to see clearly” he said in sarcasm and the group behind him start laughing “why you have that tablet in your hand? to verify it idiot”

 

Soobin didn’t like it, what with the attitude of this one who spoke and those who laughed, are they all like that? If so, why they came here?

 

him feeling uneasy took HueningKai attention and immediately asked “are you okay?”

 

Soobin just replied with a calm “yeah” giving his ID to the host and showing his own necklace with the symbol of wisdom and yet look back at the one next to him

 

That boy next to them turns around to look at him, he looks up and down as if he was scanning him and did the same to the two next to him take out a smirk and turn back to the host who was asking him another question

“What your purpose of coming here”

“Aaah!” that boy said loud acting like he was getting the big view of things, and also taking the attention of the three “So that why you separated us to ask us this? Why am I here?” he turns and look at the line behind him who got separated “WHY WE ARE HER?” he said louder making the scream of those in the second line louder and full of wildness, the smirk didn’t fade from that guy face, he plays with his hands in his not black nor dark blue with some yellow as it is a mix of them three color hair he has, and look at Soobin directly, “why would I lie? Am here to see with my own eyes the failure of the ceremony, the death of the pillars, if they by a miracle succeeded, I will make sure to kill the wisdom daddy and his 4 kittens”

“Yeaaa! Yes!” those who were behind of him start cheering for him, of course they felt the bad treatments so all they needed was one to speak out for them

Soobin immediately lost his patience hearing his father’s name he was about to walk to him but both Taehyun and HueningKai stopped him

“don’t waste your energy on them” Taehyun said “they are all a lost case, but he is a good example to get why your father split us on two”

In another hand HueningKai didn’t say a word he just kept looking at the boy with the big mouth getting dragged inside by some men who came immediately after the words he said, definitely they are the security of the city, not showing their faces, with full advanced tech, well trained for sure! because the guy was on the floor in a second then on the way inside in another.

 

 

Clap clap clap

 

 

“A drama! That nice” a guy said clapping from far away walking in, wearing black sunglasses with his long black hair and bangs “at least this won’t be boring as I thought” he took off his sunglasses and put them in his back pocket, as he was about to get closer he tried to introduce himself “my name is Beomgyu am the pillar of…” but he stopped in the middle of his sentence and way

 

as they tried to ignore it, the closer he gets the three felt like their heart getting squeezed

 

“What the hell is this fee...ling” Beomgyu said touching his chest immediately

 

Bfggfhh

 

Soobin turned immediately to see HueningKai just fall unconscienced on the floor “hey are you…” he touched his chest, he felt his heart is about to stopped, the pain was insane, he heard another noise and turned to see that guy who was clapping also faint on the ground, and not so much time even Taehyun fall down too, “g…u..ys” and then all what he saw was black…

 

 

 

A....f... u

 

 

Ga.....

 

 

S....

 

 

 

 

 

All he could hear was an almost non existing voice, the words were unheard...even what he could see was an all-blurry vision of white and blue...what going on? Is he dreaming?

 

Yes, he was at the gates, and then...

 

 

He opens his eyes...

 

Soobin looks around where he was, he was laying on a double sized bed in a room that was a large one with some good furniture, the window was big and the curtains were dancing with the fresh breeze... he stands up from that bed and walked slowly to the window, his head feel a little bit dizzy but his heart now is at ease. He reaches the window push the curtains to find a view of the one and only Academia.

 

The place was built in an old fashion but with modern machines and technologies.

 

Young people were passing by definitely all now should be students of the Academia, looking far away there was that fancy building, that called the Academia in the center of everything.

 

But then he remembered..."the guys!" He said and his eyes immediately landed on the door so he run to it and open it to find out that his room was belonging to a house, not much big nor small, it had an open kitchen and a living room, and that room had a big sofa, in which someone was laying on it playing in a tablet.

“You…” Soobin said to take the guy attentions

The boy didn’t bother to look at him he kept scrolling in his tablet with “you are finally awake! You took a lot of time I lost the bet!”

Soobin was confused “what?”

The boy finally put his tablet and switched to a sitting position “for the records, am Beomgyu and yes I bet that you will wake up in 1 hour after us”

Soobin was more confused to the point he didn’t say anything, just kept standing looking at the one called Beomgyu

“You took 2 days”

“WHAT” Soobin screams

“8hours”

Both heard a third voice coming from the next-door room and it was Taehyun

“Are you okay?” Soobin asks when he saw the almost familiar face

“I should be asking that my prince” he said standing next to him

“Please just call me Soobin” he insisted again “where is HueningKai?”

Beomgyu answered him with “is it the younger the more you slept? oh wait I born after you” he pointed to Soobin “so it’s the weaker the more you slept” he claps his hands like he did discover something huge, smiling happily of his own conclusion and lay down again on that sofa.

“He woke up the first, right?” Soobin mumbled to Taehyun “yep” the other answered “and trust me he is just the opposite of his pillar”

Beomgyu roll his eyes “I can hear you mother” but he did shrugs it off like it was nothing “so what is our next move? Since we just collapsed in front of the whole new academia nation”

Taehyun nodded “that was a bad impression of the supposed to be the savors”

Soobin couldn’t disagree

“also” Beomgyu stand up this time and went to the two getting closer to them interrupting their personal space “any superpower showing up! I really want to fly before I die!”

Taehyun did have enough “I go check on HueningKai”

“I go with you” Soobin runs after him with no second thoughts

Beomgyu smirked crossing his arms “interesting fellas and good looking too” he looks around and spotted something “I was too worried they won’t wake up; I didn’t even search the fridge” he smiled and runs to it checking what inside.

 

 

--- inside HueningKai room

 

 

Taehyun opens the door and peak inside, but then got pushed in from behind

“em…” he was about to flame but that was the prince “sir”

Soobin entered and close the door “call me that one more time I won’t be talking to you forever” he said a little bit in anger but

“O-okay..S-Soobin” Taehyun hardly said that

Soobin smiled then look at HueningKai who was still sleeping “did you dream about anything?” he asked getting closer to the bed

Taehyun shakes his head “no nothing, you?”

“I don’t know” Soobin shakes his shoulders “it wasn’t that clear”

 

“emm..”

 

Both now looked at HueningKai who was starting to open his eyes, he looks at the two clueless “what happened?”

Soobin smiled “we actually don’t know, but I think that because the 4 of us met”

HueningKai nodded touching his head “my head hurt”

Taehyun “it will be gone in a moment we all had that”

HueningKai tried to change his position to a sitting one “where is the 4^th? Isn’t he here”

With that the door got open wildly with “Bad news”

 

The three looked shocked to the one entering a.k.a Beomgyu

“The fridge is empty!” Beomgyu said looking at HueningKai “oh you woke up! Hi am Beomgyu pillar of hope, yes that! That one! the useless one in our situation”

 HueningKai smiled “so energetic”

The other two being in the room look at each other a very suspicious look

Beomgyu did catch the eye contact “you guys are no fun” he walked in and squished himself between Taehyun and Soobin to just reach HueningKai bed and stand in front of him reaching his hand for a hand shake “lets enjoy our last days together”

HueningKai was a little shocked by his words, that one specifically should not say that he just took his arm up to shake it...

But Soobin tried to move Beomgyu away with “you shaking it after he said that?”

Taehyun immediately had the same thoughts but he wanted to keep everyone calm, he grab Soobin with "don't get mad!"

 

“Beomgyu…”

 

Beomgyu turned immediately open hearing an uknown voice behind him, but he find no one...

somehow...

The room was…empty
