Artland Series: MINORITY TALENT
Beyond the Boundaries of Reason

"Silence..." Athena sizzled softly, calling out Dusk. But his face would not turn away from the window. Making everyone even more suspicious Athena was hiding something. Everyone knows, Athena never looked away from anyone. Except for this moment.

Dusk stared wryly into the entire room before finally closing in on Athena. Carefully, the man placed his palm on Athena's shoulder.

Athena twisted her body like a daze, then hooked one hand on the shoulder of Dusk, trying to hang her body that began to dim.

Quickly, Dusk caught the woman's body and hugged her.

Every face in the room was wrinkled to observe him.

Dusk carries Athena's body across the room to the exit.

But before reaching the exit, Ardian Kusuma suddenly gripped firmly on Dusk's shoulder and held him back. "No one is allowed to leave the classroom" he said coldly.

Dusk gulped and pecked in place. But I dare not look.

Everyone in the room held their breath.

Ardian Kusuma has lost control of him. The expression on his face depicted a huge amount of anger. He was no longer able to defend the Paravisi durja that had been specially trained to disguise his emotions. "What kind of conspiracy are you trying to plan?" Demand it to Athena.

Athena opened her quivering eyelids, then hinted at Dusk to lower her body.

Dusk hooked his feet on a folding chair near the entrance, where Paravisi used to stand guard, then pulled him closer. Carefully, he placed Athena's body on top of the folding chair and exposed her to the center of the room.

Everyone in the room looked at Athena. His face was no less pale.

Esther gulped, looking at her Guardian with a concerned face. Was he also scared? Esther asked in her heart.

"Let me go to the Prayer Division for a moment" said Athena. "I need nectar" he asked Ardian Kusuma.

"Yes, of course. After you tell me the truth," Ardian Kusuma said sharply.

Dusk glared at him furiously.

But the man just snorted. "Where are you hiding my assets?" Sue Ardian.

"The one you love really never really leaves," argued Athena weakly, "he will stay still, here..." He said as he pointed his middle finger right at the mouth of his heart.

Ardian Kusuma started to ride the apoplexy. He grabbed Athena's shoulders and shook her, "if anything happens to her, you're the first one I'll finish!"

"Ardian?!" One of the Paravisi grabbed Ardian by the shoulder and pulled his body away from Athena.

"Control yourself... Erd..." Athena's fizzle is weakening. Soon his body melted and fell.

Dusk managed to catch the body and embrace it. His jaw tightened holding in fury.

"I have another way of making him talk" Ardian Kusuma said, staring intently at Dusk.

"Ardians?! You're out of bounds!" Evan Jeremiah rebukes him. Then the man moved from his seat. Then join in the middle of the room.

His Paravistic counterpart swallowed saliva. Other paravis already understand the nature of Evan Jeremiah. The man never rebukes unless something is completely wrong.

The whole room suddenly felt tense. The Talents bowed in, terrified. Some talents begin to agree that Athena has a covert mission. But none of the Paravisis realized he was being used except Ardian Kusuma.

Twilight laid Athena's body on the floor.

Before long Ardian Kusuma let the man into the middle of the room.

"Ardian?!" The other Paravis shouted simultaneously.

Evan Jeremiah snatched the collar of Ardian's jacket and growled, "if anything happens to any of these assets, you're the first person I'm going to kill!" Evan threatened back.

Ika turned to look at Esther with a concerned look. Naomi's eyeballs started to glaze over. Ary Caroline buried her face on Naomi's shoulder, hiding her cries.

Dusk looked at Athena's body with a wounded feeling.

Ryan Gunawan moved abruptly towards Ika, shocking everyone. I was shocked when Ryan crouched behind him. And before the girl could open her mouth to ask, the man had already pressed a palm onto her face. In the next second, Ika's body had fallen limp and fell on the floor.

The whole room screamed to see it. Other paravis glared at him sharply. "Sorry, my assets aren't ready yet." Ryan told his Paravis partner.

His Paravice fellow was still looking at him with cluttered brows. Makes Ryan tick.

"Where did you learn hypnosis?" Valentine asked.

Ryan stuttered!

Naomi and Ary Caroline exchange views with Esther.

The Talents had heard many new terms and saw too many things beyond reason today. Inevitably their imaginations began to develop uncontrollably. They all began to wonder in their hearts, who exactly was this Paravisi?

Some suspect the Minority Center is some sort of disguised sect or organization. Some suspect Paravisi as a mafia syndicate. Some guessed Minority Center as a human sales business agent. And there are many other allegations related to the Paravisi according to their respective imaginations.

"Open your eyes, Ard!" Valentine interrupted. "Look carefully" he said, pulling Ardian Kusuma away from Evan Jeremiah. "We're not only losing assets, we're losing Paravisi!" It tells.

Ardian Kusuma. Then look around and realize. Two of his fellow Paravians weren't in the room. Dion Markus and Martin Hernandez.

Reyhan Ibrahim screeching restrained. Dion Markus is the Guardian.

"What do we mean by asset?" Deasy Grunting suddenly asked.

All eyes turned to him.

But Deasy Snoring didn't even open her eyes at all. His thin body was still curled up quietly in place.

Ryan Gunawan brought his face closer to the girl's face while squinting. Then he tilted his head, pointed his ears at the girl's face and heard a fine snoring.

Agung Tirtayasa watched the girl from behind Ardian Kusuma's body while smiling faintly.

Ryan Gunawan grinned at his Paravis partner while shrugging his shoulders.

Before long Ardian Kusuma dropped himself to the floor and bent his knees while bowing deeply.

Last Dusk still clenched his mouth with a sour face.

The sudden scream of Ester screeching broke the stiffness in the room into horror.

The whole room turned towards him. And within seconds everyone realized what was happening.

Athena's body disappeared from the floor!

Esther Maria smothering her mouth dampened her sobs with an uncontrollably trembling body. The expression on his face depicted a great horror. The girl was completely shaken, unable to digest the logic of the events that had just happened before her eyes. Athena's body disappeared in an instant while she did not leave him for a second. Is that how Luciana disappeared? He asked in his heart. While his mouth was shrieking beyond the limits of his sanity.

The paravision swarmed around Esther, trying to calm her down. "It's ok, Sweetheart!" Twilight patted Esther's shoulder.

His feathers instantly bristled, those words reacting strangely to his body.

Evan Jeremiah looked around, watched the face of the Paravisi in the room and realized, "Valentine!"

The paravis looked at each other.

Valentine also disappeared from the room.
