The Majarlican Demigod

Chapter 8: Showdown at the gymnasium

Majarlican requires a physical body. We have functions and systems like humans— if you have heard about them, but what makes us different is that we possess these skills since we are zygotes. Here in Kingdom Majarlika, we have mutated humans who underwent Experimento de Episteme; that's why they have powers or abilities. Some Majarlicans like me are half mutant and half supernatural because one of our parents was not born in Majarlika.

Celestials are the Great Almighty's army to war against the rebellious ones, but some of those Celestials were or will be sent to us for their particular mission. They really don't stay long among us nor with humans, but it depends on their mission. Celestials have five animal faces and three pairs of wings— the smallest belongs to their eyes, the biggest on their back, and one on each foot. They said to have wings on their eyes to cover them when facing the Great Almighty because His gloriousness can kill you if you are not of a pure heart.

Deities are divided into two groups: Minor and Major. Deities are powerful immortal beings but less than the Great Almighty. The Major gods are Hades, god of the underworld, and Zeus, god of the Sky. Poseidon is the god of the sea, and Aphrodite is the god of love and beauty, just to name a few. The minor is the half-god and half-mortal, including human or supernatural– also known as the demigods. The famous demigods are Minos, son of Zeus; Neleus, son of Poseidon; and Orpheus, son of Apollo.

Kori: This is the only trivia, but I heard from the Prime Council that the Chief of Celestial Guardians sent one of his apprentices on a special mission. He could be one of us.

Prince Roux: Is there any way, or like a sign, for us to know if he is among us?

Kori: Well, if he is Incarnated, no. Only if he will show up.

Brighton: Maestra Kornalina, is there a possibility that a Majarlican person is a half-Celestial being, too?

The class couldn't hide their giggles.

Kori: Why are you guys laughing? It's a good question, Brighton, but sadly, it's impossible. Celestial beings do not have the real emotions required for a romantic relationship. According to the Law of Celestial Guardians, if they request to be a mortal, they will lose all their memory, which is limited to a court order.

Hans: Isn't that unfortunate that Celestials do not feel emotions out of all creatures? The gods, humans, mutants, and Majarlicans feel it.

Brighton: That makes them stronger because emotions only get in the way of someone to have the things done correctly.

Deadpan silence echoed for a second.

Kori: Alright, both of you have an excellent point. Before we go to our activity, do you have any other questions?

Hamilton: Why are the deities not among us?

Kori: Because the law does not allow it anymore. You will discuss the treaty of Majarlican and deities later on and the subject of law. While we still have time, please fall in line, and we'll go to the gymnasium.

We did as Kori instructed. We then walked across the building. The gymnasium is closed. We entered, and there was a mini field on it. There's rock, sand, grass, a torch on the walls, an open roof, and a water channel on the side.

"Attention, youngsters," Kori said, "You need to group yourselves into four according to your skills. I will just activate the shield for protection, and I will call you to step inside." she then went inside the field.

Do I belong to the Kinesthetics? Mind, maybe? I honestly do not know.

Talia was able to find her group with Zera, Randall, and Winslett very easily. Hans grouped himself with Hamilton and Imman. Evan, Heavenly, Ninna, and Prince Rupert were like reuniting the royalties in their blissful appearance. Hasmin, Xanthal, and Prince Roux group themselves too. It's only Brighton and me who still need to get a group.

"It's hard to pretend that you belong to one of these groups, right?" someone whispered.

"Excuse me?" I frowned at him—it was Brighton

I looked very guilty, but who cares?

He responded with a meaningful stare.

"You go with Hans' group. It's easier for us to defend that you are Kinesthetic than a Mind-Skilled. I will go with quantum deviants," he whispered to me, and then he went to Hasmin's group.

I'm feeling nervous right now. Does this guy know about me? How does he know then? No. I'm rejecting it. Prince Rupert is the celestial guardian. I stomped my feet towards the Kinesthetics.

"You're with us, huh?" Hamilton asked with a smirking face.

"Dude, you're sarcastic. Stop that already. You don't even know how powerful Althea is." Hans, covering me from his back, "And besides, about yesterday, you should be grateful she did not report you for such negligence. Tss. Team Captain."

Imman put his hand on Hamilton's shoulder, "Captain, take it easy."

Kori is back from making a shield around the gymnasium.

"Youngsters, please step inside the shield."

We all gathered inside the shield.

"Now, we are here for us to be able to see everyone's Skill. So may I please have the elemental commanders?" Kori said, "Kindly try to show us how you can command an element. But children, please be careful, just do it very lightly."

Zera started up by holding a tiny tornado in her left hand. Followed by Winslett, who drew out the water from the channel and formed a small ball. Talia lit her pointer finger with fire— it looked like a candle. Randall stomped his left foot, and the sand formed like a 6-foot post on his back.

"That's very nice. Great job, youngsters!" Kori clapped, and so did the rest of the class. "Next will be the Nature people."

Evan, the tall guy with broad shoulders, removed his upper garment, which showed his nicely toned body. He then became an enormous wolf. Then, Prince Rupert spread his big eagle wings, flew briefly on the ceiling, and landed gracefully.

Next is Ninna, who has been talking to Heavenly for some time now. She pulled off a needle and scratched her hands— blood was running very slowly. She started crying, and tiny shiny pearls went down from her face. Heavenly took the needle from Ninna and pinched herself with it. I think she cried because she wiped something from her face and then touched Ninna's hand where she had scratched herself- Miraculously, the blood and the cut were gone.

Showing off the skills of these beautiful girls is quite challenging and is a lowkey sacrifice.

"Amazing!" Kori said. "Now, the Kinesthetics, please."

I felt shivers all over my body. Like? I don't know what to show these people!

Our group stepped into the center.

Hamilton showed off how he flies without wings. Hans took a leaf from a tree at the back and returned to our position in 3 seconds.

Imman looked at me first, "Would you like to be the last one?" he whispered.

I nodded.

He then stepped forward. The whole place is now filled with many Imman Holster. It felt like we were being invaded. I'm still determining where this feeling came from. Then, in ten seconds, only one Imman was left, the one who was beside me.

It's my turn, and I feel the same jitters. I saw Brighton whisper to Talia, and she created a fireball and threw it in my way. I looked at it carefully, like it was the only thing around me. I hear the sound of it fighting with the other atoms. My hands were ready to catch it.

The fireball is in my hand! This doesn't feel hot at all. I closed my right hand where I put it... this needs deep concentration for me to fully absorb the power.

One, two, three.

I raised my hand in the air, and the fireball reappeared on my hand, but this time it was blazing blue. Then I threw it on the water channel around this gymnasium— the liquid instantly dry.

The whole class clapped.

"That was great Kinesthetics!" Kori said. "We're down to the Mind-skilled people."

Our group had stepped aside already.

"Now you're a skill-stealer?" Hamilton threw another insult at me.

I'm torn between setting him ablaze with my last drop of firepower and just shutting up and focusing on the class.

The Mind-Skilled started off with Hasmin as she passed through the post that Randall created. Xanthal disappears with a cloud of white smoke. Their head turned left and right to look for her, then she reappeared after ten seconds in the same spot. The next one in their group is Prince Roux– another person to disappear on us, but right on the sand post, the letters I - N - V - I - S - I - B - L - E were written one by one, then he reappeared standing next to it.

The bright student stepped forward.

Suddenly, Hamilton loses expression and walks towards the performing group in the middle. He was looking at Brighton and levitated upside down, five inches above the ground. We are all laughing except for Brighton and Hamilton. They stayed like that for three minutes of fun.

Brighton stepped back and smiled, looking at us. In ten seconds, Hamilton fell from the air face down. Everyone is now laughing at him, and he doesn't know what happened. He runs towards our group.

"Dude, what happened?" Hamilton asked Hans.

"You levitate upside down and fell on the ground. That's what happened." Hans trying to stop smiling.

"Really?" he asked in shock and embarrassment.

"The Mind skilled hypnotized you," Imman answered.

"Who among them?" Hamilton asked angrily.

"The junior counselor," Imman replied.

He looked at me. It was time for revenge, so I looked at him from toe to head and smirked a bit. He was so annoyed. I'm glad.

Kori: Class, listen up! We will continue with this activity tomorrow, so we will all go here in the morning for my class. Ok?

Class: Yes, Maestra.

Kori: You may go back to your room now.

Our class stepped out of the gymnasium.
