Hollywood Zenith

There has been a rumor going around the Academy. Some students saw Samuel touring the school's premises yesterday and spreading the news about the 'mysterious boy' wandering inside the Academy. Several people investigated the incident and soon found out that he would be a fellow student of the Academy. Little is known about the boy except that he will be taught by Melanie, the most feared teacher in the whole Academy.

Teachers who knew about truth also were intrigued by Mixalis' boasting and wanted to see for themself, but they were not as fearless as Christoper, who directly interjected the class. They, along with other curious students, waited outside the gate, seemly positioning themself in a way to not cause suspicion.

All of them are busy with small talk, and both teacher and students blend in to portray a sense of impromptu class right outside the gate.

Like anybody will believe them? They stood out like a sore thumb with a small crowd, but in their minds, they thought they were having an urgent teacher and student 'guidance' session, which just happened to be outside their targeted location.

The door opened; everyone focused on the door and saw a boy coming out. The boy seemed in a hurry but froze, seeing many people gathering. He looked confused but nodded toward the crowd to acknowledge their presence. He quietly walked away while everyone else just stood still, observing his receding figure fade at a distance.

Suddenly two more people came out and looked at the crowd. At first, they were surprised, but Melanie called out to them.

" What the hell is happening here?" Her voice broke the silence, and the crowd finally snapped out of their daydream.

Several of them exclaimed at the same time. Everyone can hear all kinds of profanity and praises, which later spiraled into a myriad of discussions. They are completely ignoring Melanie and Christoper, which angers her.

She walked to the group's center to find the perpetrator of this fiasco.

Mixalis is standing there, giving his glorious sermon, which doesn't really surprise her. She quietly went behind and grabbed him with both her hands. There was only a loud noise, after which a long grunt left Mixalis' mouth, symbolizing his 'death.'

Seeing such brutality right in front of their eyes scared the living hell out of everyone. They dispersed in all directions, running for their life. No one wanted to be her next target, but the will of fire had already been ignited inside everyone, and this day will be remembered as the birth of the super-fan club, which will become the go-to place for millions of people.

A holy grail for all the future fans who unanimously agreed to designate Samuel as their 'Idol'; They would start a religion in his name, which will go on to surpass any hardcore cult group in human existence, but it is a story for another time.

While all that was happening, Samuel was making his way toward the Singing class. He reached the class to find that there was still some time before it ended. He quietly entered the class and sat at the far end to observe the lesson.

He is interested in singing classes, but he never picked it up due to a time crunch. He also needs to assimilate all the film and singing industry knowledge. There could be encounters with people that could benefit him if he knew more about them.

He has been assimilating more and more knowledge in the past few months, but it was a long process if you put the process on the back burner. So, he decided to dedicate some time in his day-to-day life to it. While he was contemplating which timeframe he should start the process, the class ended. Adele and Iblis walked toward the entrance, but Adele noticed a figure sitting in the back toward the entrance.

She got closer to find, it is Samuel sitting with his eyes closed, not likely sleeping but immersed in his thoughts. She called out to him.

" Samuel?"

​ " Adele? Is it over already? " Samuel said after opening his eyes.

" Yes, the class is over. How long have you been waiting here? What about your class?" Adele asked.

" You are slacking off already?" Iblis inquired.

" It ended early, so I came here to see you. I was waiting for you to finish before asking you out to eat. It is only my first day and I am exhausted. What do you think?" Samuel asked.

" Is it fine? I heard that you have been busy with your 'other' stuffs." Adele said with a sad expression.

" Its fine. We could visit ' Little Red Clock', Hannah should be there." Samuel encouraged more. He was feeling guilty about the last time. It has been a long time since they all got together.

" Okay lets--" Iblis cut off Adele and declared, " I am going too. I have not met Hannah. You have mentioned her a lot. I also want to meet her. "

Samuel and Adele stared as Iblis acted funny, but both agreed with her idea.

" You are welcome to tag along." Samuel said.

" Yeah, it will be fun. She is such a sweet girl. You will love her. " Adele accepted the suggestion.

The Trio made its way to the exit where Oscar was waiting for Samuel. Edith permitted Oscar to accompany Samuel, but Samuel felt weird walking around the Academy with his personal butler. It is a bit excessive for him, so he advised Oscar to wait outside to not draw too much attention to him.

Oscar also understood Samuel's predicament and happily obliged.

He knew Sami would be safe inside the Academy as several hidden guards were constantly protecting him, making his presence redundant.

Oscar saw the Trio walking toward him and was surprised to see Iblis among them. He was still shocked by the news he had received from David earlier and felt complicated emotions looking at her. But he composed himself in front of everyone and simply welcomed them.
