Chapter 3 Sporty

The game finally started and the athletes, on the other hand, were confident, since they knew Athena was a Wight, plus the ones that were left were useless since they were felines.

"Alright, let the games begin!" Rudolf whistled, so everyone cheered and watched. They wanted to see how they would take a Wight down, especially her flaming spirit.

They got to do service first and they purposely targeted her face. After she spiked the ball, it really went directly to Athena's position.

All of them were about to celebrate and laugh but stopped when she managed to get the ball easily and asked August to raise it for her.

"Alright, here you go, Athy!" August skillfully tossed the ball. They didn't know that she knew her way around different balls, she was a feline after all.

After the ball was raised to her in zone II, she immediately ran and jumped like no one else could or much higher compared to hers.

Everyone was surprised when she spiked the ball and it hit the first line. They were all astounded before looking at Athena with wide eyes. Even August was surprised, but she just smirked.

"Waa August, we got the first point!" She cheered before running to hug her teammates, except for Azure who was just watching the game from the back.

The athletes cursed her from the other court as it was finally Azure's turn to do service for the team.

He looked like he wasn't in the mood when he spiked the ball after the whistle was blown, so everyone was surprised that it landed on the line near zone I and V.

"Oh! That's so amazing Azure! High five!" Athena beamed while raising her hands at him, but he paid her no mind.

"This jerk is really starting to get on my nerves," August was clenching her fists, so she decided to stop her again.

"It's fine, it's fine, let's just play, okay?" Athy beamed, so she just sighed before nodding at her.

The rest of the game turned out well and they were attracting some crowd, "Alpha! Someone's trying to beat our best athletes, come watch!" Someone called Armani from his room.

"What? Who in the hell could do that?" Armani Luis Parven almost growled, he's the Alpha of the werewolf pack inside of the academy.

"Yes, I heard she was a Wight!" One of the she-wolves said, so his eyes widened. A Wight? Are they f.ucking kidding him? He thought.

"Let me check," He decided to leave the room before checking the gym class together with his underlings. His eyes were immediately on the volleyball court and that's where he saw a woman with jet-black hair and sky-blue eyes spiking the ball on the first line.

"Woah, I still can't believe she's that Wight! We heard she's pretty smart and now she's probably sporty too," One of his packs commented, so he glared at them.

"Quiet! I'm trying to watch it, okay?" He growled before noticing that Wight was probably the most beautiful girl he had seen inside of this academy.

"She looks hot dude; do you think she'll invite us home?" The wolves laughed, so he glared at them.

They all piped down because he was using his dominance over them, "Don't you go after her without my permission,"

"Oh, does Alpha have a crush? She's not your mate, right?" The she-wolf teased, so he just rolled his eyes at them.

"A wight wouldn't be my mate, but I'm interested in her, so stay away," He growled at them, so everyone just whined.

The game ended as Athena won together with her team. Their professor spoke to them just in case they wanted to join the volleyball club.

"O-Oh um, I'll think about it teacher, thank you!" She beamed before leaving together with August.

"They just won because Azure keeps on trying to get the ball to himself when he knew that Wight is about to fail," Armani heard some she-wolves, so he glanced at the man that they were talking about.

He has gray eyes and jet-black hair with highlights of dark blue, he looks intimidating and handsome at the same time.

"But of course, I'm more handsome than him," He sniggered, before deciding to approach Athena, who was preoccupied with grabbing her things.

"Hey there, I'm Armani Luis Parven, Alpha of the Werewolves," He gloated his title, but Athena didn't mind him.

"Hey, woman, I'm talking to you!" He raised his voice at her because he doesn't like to be ignored like that. His handsomeness doesn't deserve it.

"Oh um, are you talking to me?" Athena pointed to herself before glancing at August, who was covering her nose.

"Who else will I talk to aside from a beautiful Wight like you?" He playfully winked, so she thought it was weird.

Both of them almost lost their balance when someone purposely bumped into them, "Damn it, watch where you're going!"

Azure stopped after he heard that complaint, "Oh? I didn't know you were a werewolf, I thought it was a loitered trash, my bad," He left after he said those words.

"What is up with that–ugh! Follow him and make him pay for what he did to me," Armani ordered, but he was stopped by Athena.

"N-No, don't come after him, he's nice but rude, do you get me?" She tried to explain, so he just furrowed his eyebrows at her.

He then just shook his head before smirking at her, "Fine, but you have to promise me that you will eat lunch with us,"

August decided to step in before glaring at them, "You stinking dogs! We don't have to eat lunch with you guys," She hissed.

They were glaring at each other intently until Athena decided to step in, "A-Alright everyone, calm down, we'll eat lunch together if that's what you want, okay? We will just get changed into decent clothes. Come on, August,"

After she dragged August away from there, she started complaining, "Athy! Why did you agree to eat with them? You don't have to, you know?" She sighed.

"I-I don't want to cause trouble for you, I heard that werewolves, vampires, witches, and felines don't get along that much, it would be a huge problem if we stirred up something there," Athena mumbled.

She was surprised that she even knew about that, she pays attention well to things that shouldn't be important to her.

"Well, thank you for looking out for me, but now we're going to have our first lunch dealing with those dogs," August hissed, irritation was evident in her eyes, so she bit her lip for a moment.

"I'm really sorry, and by the way, where are the witches and vampires?" Athena curiously asked before they both decided to take a shower because they were sweaty.

"I don't care about them, but most witches stay in their room, they're too lazy to start a fight, unlike vampires and werewolves," She answered.

She wondered for a moment before turning off the showers. After she dried herself, she wore her black and white uniform.

"Okay, are you ready, August? It's lunchtime now," She called from the lockers while combing her hair, so she just waited for her to get out.

August just nodded at her before sighing, "I'm ready to be bummed out while eating with those stinking dogs," She hissed.

She felt bad for a moment before clinging to her arms, "I know this is just the first day that we met, so I'm sorry for dragging you into this," Athena sincerely apologized.

August just shook her head at her, "You don't have to say sorry, dummy, just don't be nice to everyone or they will take advantage of you," She scolded, so she pouted before nodding.

"I will now let's go, I'm starving," Athena beamed before dragging her out of the girl's shower room.

It wasn't a while until they both realized that they were walking with swarms of students around them, "Woah, I didn't know that there were so many students here. Well, yeah, I mean it's huge, but still, these numbers of creatures around surprise me,"

"I know, right? Let's go quickly before we miss all of the good stuff!" August dragged her this time, so she just giggled and didn't mind those swarms of eyes that were looking at her intently.

Being part of the Luxine Academy scholars has a lot of benefits. She can order meals without paying and buy uniforms without paying.

Everything is paid for by the school, so if you're a scholar from the academy, everyone will worship you.

"Oh, they have a strawberry shortcake on the menu, oh my felines!" August squealed before grabbing it from the cafeteria and a carton of milk.

Athena just watched her grab a lot of things as she decided to get a cake and a beef and mushroom meal.

She had never tasted one before since she only ate vegetables at the house. They occasionally ate meat since it was expensive in their market.

"Hey, pretty girl! Over here!" Someone called, but both August and Athena didn't mind them as they kept on looking for some drinks.

"Athena! Over here!" She flinched when someone called her name, so she glanced at the back and noticed a table full of werewolves looking at them intently.

Their ears were twitching and some of them looked like they were wagging their tails, "Ugh, I feel like I'm going to barf already," August rolled her eyes before looking at Athena, "Are you sure you're up for this?" She curiously asked.

Athena just slowly nodded at her, "Just for today, we just have to endure it for today," She mumbled before smiling.

August thought she was too nice, so she just shook her head before walking toward the table of those dogs.

"Why is a Feline here?" One of the werewolves asked after they arrived at the table. August was about to give him a piece of her mind when Athena grabbed her hand before smiling at them.

"She's my friend and I want to eat with her with everyone, is that okay?" She glanced at Armani, so he just sighed before nodding.

"Boys, be nice, she's this beautiful woman's friend," Armani scolded, so everyone piped down.

She thought being an Alpha was such a powerful role. He can link to them wherever they are and dominate them, so she thought it was cool.

Athena and August sat down together near the Alpha of the werewolves. They ate silently as some of the werewolves were making a mess.

She could feel that August was starting to be pissed off, so she wanted this lunch to be finished as much as possible.

"So, you're the Wight scholar, huh? That means you're pretty smart," Armani smirked, so she tilted her head for a moment.

"W-Well um, you could say that," She smiled and felt uneasy every time they call her a Wight, is it really impossible for them to think that Wights are smart too? She thought.

"Oh, is that so," Armani nodded before grabbing the devil chocolate cake that was placed in the center of the table.

"W-What are you doing, are you going to eat that?" Athena worriedly asked, so he confusingly nodded at her.

"Yeah, is there something wrong with it?" He smirked, "Chocolates are delicious, they're good for our bodies," After he said those words, he took one mouthful of it.

She examined the chocolate cake for a moment before clenching her fists, "Don't eat that," She whispered, which surprised everyone.

"Are you trying to order me around, beautiful woman?" Armani asked, the hint of anger evident in his tone.

"Chocolates are not good for werewolves," Athena whispered, so he stopped for a moment before laughing.

"I'm not dumb to eat chocolate cake that isn't for werewolves–" Armani stopped talking when she slammed her fist on their table.

Everyone was surprised at her sudden reaction before grabbing the cake away from him, "N-No you can't eat this, someone used magic on this to let you smell that it's the safe chocolate for you,"

"Chocolates like this are poisonous for werewolves, so please, you have to believe me because I don't want you to hurt yourself," She mumbled, so everyone just looked at her intently.
