Kingdom Of The Wicked ( Gear Hearts Book 2) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 4: Crowned Bastard

Kongpob POV 

I didn't get much sleep last night, P'Arthit was just sleeping on my chest, a few minutes later when I heard his small snores.

I opened my eyes and I kept staring at the ceiling while caressing my fingertips on his soft brown hair. 

This morning, I woke up P'Arthit, I was dressed in my own outfit. A blue polo shirt and black pants. My baggage ready and he furiously got out of bed and had a shower. I even teased him by taking his towel so I can see Arthit junior.

The weirdness I have dreamt last night replaced by something else: excitement. This was it. The day we were all have been waiting for.  For the next two weeks, I would've class. I'd get to spend my time hanging out with my friends.

The top 15 representatives of our Coven had been mentioned 4 days ago. I'm top 2 and M was top 4 while May is top 5. I couldn't even believe that Tew was top 1. He exerted a lot of effort than I do.

When P'Arthit splits up to join the other mentors, M catches up to my steps as I walked to where our University orientation. 

"Hey, Kong." 

"Hey, M." 

"Are you excited?" M beamed.

"Hell yeah."

Gear Hearts were filling in the bleachers on each side of the gym, and we found a spot near the back. Tew, Oak, May, Wad Prae and Maprang were sitting there. Oak waves at us to come forward and we did. 

"It's going to be like a vacation." May said as soon as we were sitting.

"I just can't wait!" Maprang squealed.

Oak poked his elbow at Wad. "Not to forget we'll see some boobs there in the resort where we're staying."

M turned thoughtful. "Yeah, I guess we're going to explore the town's famous resort, play billiards and we will get drunk at night."

M nodded and wanted to say something when a loud voice cut through the murmurs. We both looked up to see the mentors.

P'Arthit put up his fierce face as they gathered in front of the bleachers. P'Bright and P'Prem posing too with an impressive line. P'Arthit shouts. The crowd shut silent. 

"That's my boy." I whispered to M. 

P'Arthit caught my gaze but he composed himself not to blush. "All right, you know why you are here." His voice echoed the gym's hall. "This is the most important and final part of your training in Ravika and after that, you will be an official Gear Heart member.  Today, the representatives will be assigned to each of the mentors to practice your abilities while we stay in the resort. Last week, we've given you a booklet on the guidelines for the university games. 

Graiville was located in between Ravika and Bangkok, and this resort P'Arthit was talking about is the most fancies resorts in Thailand. They're invisible to the human eye, it is named Club Paradise. Well, it was not only certified for wizards, but also to those Bounty Hunters, they're different kind. Secretive race of warriors who are born to protect mystical forces, they've been existing as long as we are. 

P'Arthit also gave the clipboard to P'Prem, one of my least favorite mentors. He was cold, charismatic, and ruthless. There were even some Gear Hearts who cried in training because of the harsh words coming from his mouth. 
"Here it is." said P'Prem. "Those who hadn't gone to the top 15, all you will do is to plan the cheers and yells. We prepared magical confetti. For the substitutions, those who ranked 16 to 20. And for those who had gone to top 15. You will accompany your mentor everywhere- to your training, to your breakfast, lunch, dinner, to your rooms. Well, for the demon slayers and member of Kongpob's corp. It has a great advantage that you have a real experience dealing with real threats." He glanced at me before going back to the others. "In the real world, you're usually working every day. "
