Third Person's POV

Days later and Monday approached so fast. Dymitri is now on his way to his to his second period where he and his friends parted ways in the corridors. He entered the room silently, not to disturb the three higher house members on their business.

As he closed the door, he accidentally catched a glimpse of the intimidating King who's looking at him coldly. Beside him was the Ace and next is Prince who is busy tapping his phone.

Dymitri averted his gaze elsewhere as find his way to his desk. He immediately sat down and roamed his eyes around. His classmates were all talking to their friends, making their own group while he was there, all alone by himself. Even the other Omegas were all alone too. Shy and introvert.

"Good morning class!" The professor came in with her briefcase alongside. She sat down to her desk and put away her things.

"Today, you'll be doing an activity and this activity is not individual. Please group yourselves into 4." She announced.

The class went loud as they find their own groups. The class consists of 32 students in different levels and houses. Dymitri roamed his eyes to his co-Omegas but eventually let a small sigh of disappointment after seeing all other Omegas already had a group.

All of them already had a group with four members and Dymitri is left behind.

"King! Pick me!"

"Pick me Ace! I'm better!"

"No! I'm way better that you two."

"No way, Please pick me Prince!"

He turned his head to the girls who raising their hands and insisting the Triple Crown to pick them as their group mate.

They actually cringe to their fellow Alpha and Gamma because of their desperate behavior. Meanwhile, Ace seemed to notice the purple eyed kid all alone, sitting on his desk looking to the other groups who had complete members.

"Hey kiddo." Dymitri turned his head to them. He was surprised actually. The girls looked at his direction with confused look.

"You alone?" Ace asked him.

Dymitri furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and started to look around as if he's securing if he's the one who being asked by Ace.

"M-me?" He hesitantly pointed to himself.

"Yes, you. So, you're alone?" Ace asked again.

He looked at the girls who are already giving him glares.

"I-I'm good." He lied after realizing the pairs of eyes being stuck at him.

Prince looked at the Ace and eventually to the King who is silently looking at them.

"Professor? We'll pick this guy." Ace called out to the professor and pointed to the purple eyed kid.

His eyes widened both in shock. He began to throw his hands in the air and protested that he's alright.

"Tsk. What's with that kid?"

"The nerve? Ugh!"

"I hate his guts."

"Uh huh, that kid belongs to the Omegas right?"

"Yes girl."

"He looks weak."

"I can make him unconscious in just one slap."

"Haha, yeah right."

Dymitri lowered his head in embarrassment as he heard the girls murmuring about him.

"Girls, if you don't stop I'll send you all to the hospital wing." Ace threatened and that made them to shut up. They did not spoke nor utter a word anymore. In the end, they formed their own group.

"Okay class, I suggest you to go to your group now so you can discuss your activity silently. Also, please hand me a list of your names." The professor instructed.

Dymitri was till on his desk, unsure if he had to go the Triple Crown or not.

"Hey kiddo." He lifted his head and looked at the person who called him.

"What's your last name?"

"V-Villacroixe." He stuttered out to the Ace who's actually writing in a piece of paper.

"Prince, give it to the professor now." Ace instructed.

"Why me? You're the leader." Kieffer scowled at him making the Ace, Exequile himself glare.

"If you still want to be in this group, hand it over to the prof or I'll find someone to replace you."

"Fuck you. But fine." The grumpy Prince took the paper and stood up, making his way to the professor.

A moment later, the professor instructed all 8 groups that they have to find some herbs and plants around the campus that are alternative for medicinal herbs.

The group of students came out to their room and began to search the school grounds for their alternative herbs. Meanwhile, the Triple Crown are now walking along the corridors with a purple eyed kid following their tracks.

Where are we going?

"Aww." He suddenly stopped when he felt himself being crashed at someone's body. He fixed his eyeglasses and looked up, only meeting the icy gaze of the intimidating King.

"Hey kiddo, you okay?" Ace asked him. He nodded in response and lowered his head.

"Hey, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it. We don't bite." Ace chuckled.

"O-okay."

The intimidating King rolled his eyes mentally and walked first. The two looked each other and looked back to the King.

"Don't mind him. He's just moody, that's all." Ace patted his shoulder.

The three of them followed the King as Prince broke the temporary silence between them.

"So Dymitri, how old are you?"

"I'm 16."

"Hey! You're still a kid indeed." Prince exclaimed. The interrogation continues as the two pillars of Triple Crown throws questions to the kid and eventually, Dymitri answered all of them.

When they finally came out, they saw the King smoking on a nearby tree. He felt the presence of the three and eventually looked them coldly.

"Let's finish this goddamn activity." He demanded, throwing his cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

"Okay, so King, you go South, Prince is East, me on West and you kiddo, you'll go to North." Ace instructed.

"You already know what we'll have to find right and that would be all. Also, let's meet up here 5 minutes before the time, understand?" Dymitri nodded in response while Prince and King gave him a look.

After that, they parted ways. Along the way, Dymitri find already two types of alternative herbs. He put them into his small bag given by the professor earlier and take his way further. He did find four other alternative herbs as the time passes by. When he felt tired, he decided to go back so he could rest there and wait for his group members.

While walking, Dymitri stopped on his tracks as he noticed a black smoke emerging from the ground. He looked it intently until a group of men appeared in front of him.

"So, you're the one who knocked off one of our gang members that day." A voice from behind the group spoke. They made way as the man slowly walked at the center, revealing his face to the kid.

There he stood a tall figure with a muscular physique with his blonde hair, sharp features and a piercing emerald eyes.

"How can a small and tiny kid like you defeat one of my greatest fighter?" He asked starting to approach the kid.

And realizations struck Dymitri hard, as he remembered the familiar faces that day in the cafeteria. He slowly stepped back, nervous and scared.

"Who are you?" Dymitri asked to the man.

"You don't know me?" The man smirked until it teleported and appeared at Dymitri's back, locking his head from behind resulting the bag he carried to fall in the ground.

"I'm your nightmare you pathetic bitch." He spat angry as the boy began to struggle in his arm.

"L-let me g-go!" He demanded as he tried to get away from his arms.

"That's right Gwen! Teach him a lesson for crossing on our lines." A man exclaimed and the rest cheered in delight.

Gwen smirked and choke the kid even harder resulting the kid to cough for air.

Gwen doesn't care about the rules. What he wants, he gets. Even if he hurt someone, he can easily escape. Crystal Academy allows violence but didn't allow to kill. In this way, students can learn how to fight and defend theirselves on their own ways.

As Dymitri struggle, he felt angry as he wants to escape from the tight headlock.

Subconsciously, he stepped hard on the Nightmare's foot and that made him to loosen the choke with a scowl. Dymitri elbowed his stomach until Gwen finally let him go as he stepped back from the pain.

"You fucking kid! You're dead!" He shouted when he recovered and about to tackle the purple eyed kid.

Fear triggered Dymitri, resulting to cast an attack and aimed it to the upcoming man.

The plasma took Gwen and that results him to flung a few meters away as he took the damage of the attack.

"N-no.." Dymitri mumbled. Fear is starting to eat him and that made Dymitri to shaken a bit.

"Fuck, that was a good blow." Gwen stood up, patting his shirt covered in dust.

"Please don't hurt me." Dymitri spoke feeling his eyes burning because of his tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"Nahh, you bitch. Take him!" Gwen ordered and his men encircle the kid. Slowly approaching, laughing.

"You think your shitty King can save you? You're wrong." He heard the him again.

"No! Stay away from me!" He emitted a transparent purple light from his body, swirling around his arms, he subconsciously fired and attack and caused Kyle's Betas to retreat.

His attack hit the ground and that made a big explosion, damaging some of the Betas.

His eyes are already glowing. He looked around and realized what he done. Some Betas are already laying on the ground injured. His fear is slowly overtaking him and than made him worst. As tears began to fall from his cheeks, he wants to disappear but he couldn't.

Betas began to fire him, but his ability emitted again a purple light resulting to shield himself.

"P-please stop." He mumbled scared.

As the attack continues, his shield is becoming weaker and weaker everytime they fired their attacks until a powerful hit made his shield shattered.

"You think you can defend yourself from me?" The nightmare stood there, with his razor like claws. A smirked plastered on his face as he slowly walked at the kid's direction.

He attacked the kid and anytime now, he's razor like claws will slice the kids flesh. Dymitri closed his eyes and braced himself for the upcoming attack but when he felt that no one hits him, he opened his eyes slowly, he saw a tall figure in front of him in front, holding something he can't see.

"You should pick someone to fight with your own size dumbass." The intimidating King spat coldly to Gwen who he held it's arm.

"Kiddo!?" Dymitri turned around and saw the upcoming Prince and Ace.

"A-ace." He muttered when the two finally arrived at his side.

"What happened to you? Are you alright?" Dymitri nodded but he's body is trembling a bit.

Before Ace could speak, Gwen made his move and apparently, he free himself from the King's grip.

"How sweet, saving one of your toys eh?" Gwen smirked to them, making the kid to trigger his nightmares.

A toy...

Dymitri sniffled and stepped back, remembering the torture he received from his former school.

"I-I'm not a t-toy." He mumbled, tears flowing from his cheeks.

"I'm not a t-toy." He repeated.

"Shit, Kieffer calmed the kid down!" Ace instructed to the Prince.

Dymitri's eyes are now glowing but darker, he can't control himself. His power are too strong to handle as fear ate him.

The Prince automatically ran to the kid and tried to calm him down while Gwen declared his gang mates to attack.

The Ace began to throw punches and kicks as well, together with the King who's already fighting with Gwen. Exequile used his ability, he manipulated some rocks in the ground and then, it began to float. In his signal, the rocks flew to the Betas direction, hitting them one by one with those round and sharp stones.

Meanwhile, Gwen is already in the ground with King's foot stepping on him in the chest.

"You think you can defeat me? Huh? You piece of trash?" He stomped at Gwen's chest, making the man to spit some blood in his mouth.

"You're really getting on my nerves King." He smirked.

While they we're arguing, Prince is now fighting some Betas who passed Ace. He protected Dymitri and made sure that the kid is not hurt. Little did they know, a Betas from Prince's behind is holding a thick baseball bat. He walked slowly until he was neat enough to the Prince. Dymitri noticed him as he raised the baseball bat to Kieffer's head.

"No!!!" Dymitri ran to Prince who looked him confused. Before Kieffer could see the Beta, Dymitri is already in front of him as the baseball bat hit him in the arm.

The impact made Dymitri to flung into the ground, hitting his head to a nearby tree and cut it's head. Fresh blood spilled from his head until fe fell unconscious.

"You dumbfuck!!" Prince yelled snapping his finger and a black smoked puffed in head. When it landed to the ground, it started to grew arms and legs until a monster was formed.

It was his nightmare and Kieffer just made it real. The monster began to attack the Beta and his other gang mates. Ace ran to the kid's place where it lays unconscious.

"Shit, he needs first aid." Ace exclaimed putting pressure to the cut.

"Theo! Can you bring us to the headquarters?" He asked to the King. He didn't utter a word but he nodded. Anger was evident in his eyes after laid his gaze to the kid.

With just a blink of an eye, they were all teleported to the Triple Crown's hideout.
