Hotel Selten

Chapter Twelve

"We are now safe, don't worry."

Everyone cheered as Miss Eve announced the victory against their enemies. They were outside, everyone was piling up near the back door of the main building, where the lady is standing. "Thank you for our beloved fighters who fought and defended our hotel at their best." Everyone clapped to the group where familiar faces like Thilda, Peony, Adam, and Aquil were there. "I am glad that no one was severely injured nor died. The celebration today will be sad rather than happy."

"It is our pleasure to protect our home, Miss Eve." Thilda smiled, "It was great teamwork, I am glad too that no one left us." The others cheered and happily claps. "It was fun anyway, might do it again!" Peony enthusiastically challenged herself, which made the lady in front of them giggle. "I also thank you all for following the others to stay in the cabins as long as the battle is happening. I am glad too that no one was taken, unlike the previous ones." Another set of claps and cheers filled the hotel.

"And, last but definitely not the least, I thank Hugo, Blaise, and Ophelia for exerting their efforts to regain my energy back and form the barrier once more." Ophelia, who was scratching her head and suffering from another headache smiled along with the two other boys. "Without their efforts, we might lose the battle and well, lost a lot of residents." The residents cheer for them.

What actually happened after the "big bang"?

The bang was Miss Eve's power which regenerated thanks to Ophelia's magic. It created a barrier. It dissolves all of the non-magical people within the barrier, therefore a lot of cries of pain were heard everywhere on the grounds of the hotel. The hotel disappeared within the eyes of the weak minds, which made the enemies surrender since they can't access any of the hotel's ground. All of the space occupied by the hotel became mere trees as if nothing was built there. There are a few left of the enemy, which lowered their morals.

Inside the barrier, the fighters are slowly navigating in the hotel, avoiding the mines placed by Blaise. Most of the mines were detonated, which prevented the enemies from entering the buildings, which also damaged some of the construction of it. Aquil shot the remaining micro mines with her bow.

The ground was neatly clean since all of the corpses dissolved because of the barrier's energy. A mere human can't handle a full-blown barrier, being stubborn with its results in death. That's the reason why the people entering here was filtered, but their intentions aren't.

Miss Eve slowly wakes up from her slumber, her feeling is eased, she was feeling so strong and the barrier was on its full strength without having her getting weak. She looks around her and she gasps as she noticed the poor three teenagers knocked off. She looked at the wrist who seems aching a bit and there was a bit of blood dripping on it. She heals the small cut and she went downstairs to get help with the three.

Ophelia, Blaise, and Hugo get their rest for the day since they were knocked out from the blast. The others were escorted to their rooms since they were so afraid of the situation. Thilda and others clean the blood out of their weapons. "This is a lot of construction to make. Even the public bath needs some repair." Adam is talking to Thilda, who is looking at how devastated the place was. "This would be a piece of cake for the builders, it's just some repairs, unlike the previous one which really renovated the walls of the hotel building since the woods are decaying."

"I've clear all the mines." Aquil approached the two. "Great, now the others can go out now and let them cope with what just happened." Thilda smiled as she goes to the main building. She went inside to check the others. The residents start to go to their rooms and calming down.

This is the aftermath of the small battle they have with those greedy humans, yet, they still don't know why they are getting attacked every single year. It's the same attackers since 2010. But above all of these, they know one thing. It is to protect the hotel, home of over 54 people with great skills, unbelievable magic, and cool abilities, all of it are unique in their own way.
