[From:- Chief Bodyguard (Team leader of No.9 & No.10)

Madam, the boy has been assassinated. We need your permission to commence plan B.]

Reading the encrypted text sent to Asong by her Chief bodyguard, her breathing quickened and her grip on the armrest of the chair she was sitting on tightened.

The worst possible outcome had ensued, if only she could have kept the girls in her dream space until now then her bodyguard would not have had to go opt to initiate plan B.

Remembering that a few minutes ago it was Anna who forcefully left her dream space despite her persuasion, Asong could help but look at Anna from the corner of her eyes but to her scare, Anna was looking right at her, causing Asong to jump up in fright, ”Ah!”

”I take it your cronies have finally informed you about Wyatt,” Anna said menacingly with an indifferent face. It seems she had known of the boyʼs death for a while now.

Asong could help but flinch seeing Annaʼs indifferent face. Her scare had now turned into a frightening reality. Asong had faced the entire federal congress for the general public and never flinched but in face of Annaʼs indifferent stare, she did, this reminded her of a bad memory dating back to their college days.

Before that, she had to warn her subordinates not to piss Anna off any further,

[From:- Greatest Boss Ever

Chief, abort the plan. Do not try anything funny. The last time Anna got like this, her grandfather had to pay a visit to MorningStar universityʼs deanʼs office.

Stand Down!]

Receiving the text from his employer the team leader let out a gasp which was not common for a semi-demigod. But hearing that the great patriarch of the southern royal family himself paid a visit to the MorningStar Universityʼs deanʼs office on his granddaughterʼs behalf, even the demigods would gasp in fear. After all, who was worthy to entertain someone of his stature? As the team leader was busy assessing the gravity of the situation he received another text from his female boss,

[From:- Greatest Boss Ever

I repeat, Stand Down!]

…

The bombing of the MorningStar universityʼs Female dormitory was an infamous incident that rocked the central academic region.

Asong still has nightmares of that incident. As usual, she was studying late in the peace of midnight but soon chaos took over the peace as an explosion sounded and she was thrown to her room floor by a shockwave.

When she regained consciousness, Asongʼs thoughts were in disarray as she recalled something that put her in a moral dilemma.

The thought bothering her was none other than Anna asking her about the creation of a one-time-use explosion tag card.

What prompted this?

As every day, Anna and her nemesis Ivana Osmand were at their throats but Ivana took it a step too far by calling Annaʼs mother an ugly witch who traps men.

Hearing Ivana cussing her mother Anna did not react as the student expected her to rather she stared at Ivana indifferently. Even after Ivana and her clique left, Anna stared at her leaving figure indifferently and asked, ʼAsong, do you know how to create a one-time-use Explosion Tag card?ʼ

ʼI do, …ʼ Asong went on to list the ingredients for the card and explain its creation process but was interrupted by Anna, ʼForget it, I will just buy it.ʼ

Asongʼs array of thoughts was disrupted hearing a whistling Anna enter the dorm room but seeing Asong on the floor Anna pointed at her and said, ”Asong, what are you doing on the floor? Have you finally gone insane, now do you believe that there is such a thing as too much reading?”

”How much and what rank Explosion tag card did you use? I felt the explosionʼs shockwave from here,” Asong asked as she got up from the ground.

”Relax, I just used the A-rank explosion tags,” Anna replied.

”Thatʼs not right. A-rank explosion should not be this big, wait, what do you mean by ʼtagsʼ?” Asong had a bad feeling as she asked Anna this question.

”Buying in bulk was cheaper than buying a single one. So I bought a bunch of A-rank explosion tag cards and even got a 20 percent discount. Then I used them to rig Ivanaʼs entire room,” Anna answered as if what she did was a normal episode in her life.

”Anna, honey, you do know that the effect of explosion tag gets staked up? Wait, you were with me the entire day when did you get time to buy explosion tags? Did you pull Ann in your retaliation plan? If itʼs her she should know the staking feature of the explosion tags,” Asong figured out that Anna stayed with her the entire day to gain an alibi while Ann rigged Ivanaʼs room with the explosion tags.

”I told you Ann is not as goody-goody as she led you guys to think. Besides, Ivana brought it on herself,” Anna knew Ann was very tolerant but when it comes to their mother things take a dark turn.

”For your sake, you better hope Ivana and her roommates are okay, otherwise this time even your family cannot save you from getting expelled from the university,” Asong was genuinely worried for Anna. As she was her only friend that would stick her neck out for her.

”Asong you are thinking too much into it. Besides, that bitch and her friends will be fine, if she cannot survive a small explosion of this scale she is not qualified to be called a progeny of the Osmand Royal Family,” As a child of royalty Anna knew it would take more than a bunch of explosion tags to kill Ivana.

”Then whatʼs the point of this?” Asong was confused, if Anna knew that explosion tags could do nothing to Ivana then why go through with it and not try something else?fr𝘦𝑒𝘄e𝗯n𝗼vel.𝑐𝒐𝒎

Before Anna could answer Asong, a high-pitched scream rang throughout the MorningStar campus,

”Aaahhh! My hair!”

Hearing the scream, Asong grabbed hold of her head and spoke in dread, ”The Balding Curse, clever. The explosion keeps Ivanaʼs passive defense engaged, buying time for the curse to take effect. Not bad at all.”

”I canʼt take credit for this, it was all Annʼs plan. Check the university forum Ann should have posted that bitch and her cliqueʼs bald pics under the pseudonym, Bald Fairy,” Anna barely held back her laugh as she said the words, Bald Fairy.

Asong was no fan of Ivana, as Annaʼs bookworm friend she has been the target of Ivanaʼs ridicule and hazing numerous times. So she did not feel sorry for Ivana and took pleasure in her misfortune, ”Oh my god, these pictures are so embarrassing. I will not be surprised if Ivana and her friends drop out or switch colleges.”

”Aaaahhh! Who did this? Which one of you bitches is the bald fairy?” Another scream sounded throughout the girlʼs dormitory.

”Bald fairy, hahaha hahaha,” Anna cracked up into laughter and then shouted at her victims at the top of her voice, ”You are!”

Another mysterious shout followed Annaʼs shout it seemed to be directed at Ivana, ”Idiot, youʼre the bald fairy.”

”Based on these pics of hers she is more like a bald ghost,” Asong commented to herself aloud.

”Bald Ghost! Haha-haha” Anna yelled and continued to laugh out loud.

”Anna, you bitch. I will not rest until I kill you today,” it took a while for Ivana to figure out that it was Anna who was shouting in response to her scream but once she did she rushed toward Annaʼs dorm room but was held back by her roommates because they did not want Ivana to make fool of herself by running around in the dormitory with her bald head and ash covered Pjs. Not to mention the screaming match and their bald photos on the forum were embarrassing enough as it is.

”Good one, Asong,” having her fill of laughter at Ivanaʼs expense Anna complimented Asong for her bald ghost comment.

”Nope, donʼt drag me into this. My non-existent active soul control is enough of a problem for me, I donʼt want to give the faculties another reason to kick me out of the university,” Asongʼs mortal status had her walking on eggshells in University and she did not want this incident to be her short straw.

”Relax, nobody will know that it was us who rigged Ivanaʼs room with explosion tags and the blading curse. I have made sure of it,” Anna consoled Asong.

”Us? Hold your horses. When did this turn into a ʼusʼ? It was all you, and your crazy twin. I have nothing to do with this,” Asong decided to draw a fine line between this incident and her.

”Wait, what do you mean by you have nothing to do with this? Youʼre my alibi,” Anna knew without evidence the university would not dare to blame her for the incident. And considering how meticulous Annʼs plan was, there was no way the university could track this back to her. Anna was pretty confident about this but this did not mean she would stop pulling Asongʼs leg.

Unfortunately for Anna, she had underestimated the MorningStar university.
