Hell University-Chapter 61: Epilogue

Mr. Razon’s Point of View

The kind of love the two of them shared is admirable, unusual and incomparable to any other. What makes it even more remarkable is that it blossomed in a place where love itself is considered a form of suicide.

If Mr. Valdez were still alive, he would surely be proud of his youngest child, and I know he would never have allowed something like this to happen.

I looked at the two incubators where they lay resting. Zein would not be able to endure it, yet she gambled her life anyway.

My gaze then shifted to her friends, standing there in a daze, these are the true friends who became her support in this place. It is admirable that until the very end, they remained together. All I can say is that it is indeed a true friendship.

"Will Zein make it?" Raze asked me.

I looked at Miss Shion, unconscious and still.

"I’m not sure," I admitted.

"Then, stop it." I froze at his words.

I met his gaze bravely.

"What do you mean?"

"I don’t want Zein to be harmed-"

"Shut up." Raze fell silent at Matthew’s firm interruption.

Raze looked at him.

"She won’t be able to-"

"She won’t like what you want to happen. I know Zein," Matthew’s gaze pierced through to Zein. "She is capable of giving even her own life for someone important to her..." He smiled bitterly. "Supremo is not just important to her... You could say he is her life," he added.

Silence swallowed us after their exchange. Raze did not speak again.

I approached Ace and studied him intently, until something made me furrow my brow. I examined him again. I smiled, then quickly pressed the stop button.

"What happened?!"

The incubators opened, and I immediately took hold of Ace’s wrist to check his pulse. I smiled.

"Ace is still breathing," I said. "This operation will not be successful because he did not die. He is alive," I added happily.

Zein’s blood and the formula were meaningless, because Supremo Ace was alive.

It was astonishing. I thought he had already died earlier because I could not feel his pulse, but now, I could feel it. He was fighting... fighting against death.

Ace Craige...

"What should we do?"

"He needs a blood transfusion..." I looked at Raze, who was smiling. He immediately offered his arm to me.

"Take my blood... just half, alright? I still want to live and find my forever."

Laughter surrounded us. There was a strong chance that the two of them would survive, because they were both fighting. And that meant only one thing-

Their love story does not end here.

After one month...

Allison’s Point of View

My cellphone rang on the table beside me. An unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.

I answered the call, ’cause I talk to strangers.

"Yes?"

"I did not even ask a question yet. What is that ’yes’ supposed to mean?"

I leaned back in my swivel chair and gripped the edge of the table when I heard his rat‑like voice.

"New number?" I asked.

"Because you have blocked my SIM for the ninth time."

I could only put on a poker face. He is really a jerk. "What do you want, Mr. Red Eye?" I asked.

I was already thinking of changing my SIM card instead. But I knew he would still find a way. Ugh! He is annoying as fuck!

"Are you going?"

I frowned when I realized what he meant and glanced at the wall clock.

Psh.

"What is it to you?"

"I will go if you are there, but if not, I might just end up at your office instead."

"Fuck you."

I quickly grabbed the keys from my pocket and tidied up the clutter on my desk.

"The pleasure is mine."

"I have to g-"

"I have a question."

I strode out of the building, ignoring my boss. I heard him calling my name, but I didn’t bother to look back. Well, since when have I ever listened to him?

"I don’t have time for your question."

"Wouldn’t it be a sin if I stole your heart?"

I grimaced at his question. This jerk is really something I can’t explain. I hate annoying people, but I don’t know why I can still talk to this jerk for over a minute.

I smiled, as if he could see me. "Not really... just a perfect crime, baby." I ended the call.

That Raze Silvenia is a total jerk.

I hopped onto my motorbike and revved the engine, speeding off.

Matthew’s Point of View

I examined my reflection in the mirror. I smiled when I realized how handsome I looked.

"Matt!"

I hurried downstairs when I heard Daddy’s voice from below. I was almost running down the steps when I stopped short upon seeing that Daddy was with a woman. They had their backs to me, so I could not see her face.

I no longer have a mom, so who is this woman?

"Dad... since when?" I said, my voice trembling. "I thought it was only Mom? But why? Why did you-"

My jaw dropped when they turned to face me.

"A‑Angel?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" Daddy asked, frowning at me. "Someone is looking for you," he added.

"Just call me once you are done... Make it quick, alright? We might be late."

Daddy left the two of us, so I invited Angel to sit down first. She was smiling.

"Drink?"

"No, I am okay."

I simply nodded. The awkwardness was undeniable, and I did not know why. What does she need from me, anyway?

"You are really handsome..."

I averted my gaze. What did she say? Tsk.

"T‑Thank you..."

"Are you heading out already?" she asked.

Only then did I notice that she was dressed up as well, just like me.

"Yes... Are you alone?"

"No... Mommy already went ahead."

I wanted to ask why she was here and what she needed, but I felt that those were not good questions to ask at the moment.

"I‑I just wanted to say... Matt... I kind of have a crush on you."

I swallowed hard.

"Huh? Really? Hehe..." I scratched the back of my neck, not knowing what I was supposed to say. "Thanks..." Damn it. What did I just say? Thanks? Wow.

"You’re cute... Come on, let’s go. We might end up being late."

I just nodded and called for Daddy. Angel came along with us. It was really awkward, but it did not seem to bother her at all.

She and Daddy even chatted about her life inside Hell University. Daddy looked delighted and clearly impressed by her.

Psh. Meanwhile, I was the one who even got punched by dad after getting out of that hell.

Dave’s Point of View

I took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell. I straightened my clothes and adjusted the flowers I was holding.

Mia’s house helper greeted me at the door.

"Oh, it’s you, Dave."

"Is Mia here?"

"She’s in her room, still getting ready. Come in."

She led me to their living room. She offered me a drink, but I shook my head. I sat on the sofa while waiting for Mia to come down.

I glanced at my reflection in the mirror beside me.

"I look handsome enough... at least that’s what she said," I muttered to myself like an idiot.

"Dave?"

I jumped to my feet when I realized Mia was already standing in front of me. My eyes widened at how she looked. I blushed in embarrassment when her gaze fell on the flowers in my hands.

"Who are those for?"

I panicked. Shit! No matter how much I prepare, I always go speechless the moment I am in front of her.

"Dave?!"

"Huh? These?" I scratched my head. "You can have them, if you want?" I offered.

It’s over! My hard work was ruined. I was going to give her these flowers and ask for permission to court her. Oh well... maybe next time.

"Wow! Thanks, Mr. Detective."

I laughed at what she said. She called me "detective" because I was the first to discover that Matt was a member of BBG and Jerome was with DGW.

Every night, I would go out to follow them. I watched their every move quietly, because I knew they knew what they were getting into. Acting all detective-like.

"Shall we go?" she asked.

I nodded. She placed the flowers I had given her on the table. What a waste...

"Are Zein and the others coming?"

"I don’t know... maybe."

I simply nodded, and together we headed to the place where it all began.

* * *

Zein’s Point of View

So much had happened in the past few months, but it was nothing compared to what had happened over the course of a year at Hell University.

"Baby Z? Your friends are coming too," Mommy said.

I just nodded at her, feeling unmotivated. I didn’t know why, but I wasn’t excited about graduating.

"Zein? Are you okay?" Daddy asked me.

I nodded again and turned my gaze outward. In the distance, I could see the name of Hell University, written as if in blood.

I smiled as I remembered everything, everything that had started because of our own foolishness. My lips trembled, so I decided to shift my gaze back to Mommy and Daddy instead.

"And how about Ate? Will she be able to come?"

"She said she would," Daddy replied.

We stopped, and Mommy and Daddy stepped out of the car first. I took a deep breath before getting out myself.

I closed my eyes as all the memories of this place came flooding back. I never thought I’d be able to return here.

It’s good to be back... Hell University.

"Zein!"

I turned to see Vanessa waving at me. She greeted Mommy and Daddy before my parents excused themselves to head ahead to the gymnasium.

"You’re not with Jerome?"

"He’s there... with Matt."

I just nodded, avoiding her scrutinizing gaze. I knew why she was looking at me like that.

"Everything will be alright..." she whispered.

I smiled, even though it was obvious I was forcing it.

I hoped it would be true...

When we arrived at the gymnasium, we were greeted by Jerome, Dave, and Mia.

It was heartening, so many trials had tested our loyalty to one another, yet in the end, we were still together. No one had let go.

We entered together.

I smiled at Vice Ty when we passed by him.

"How are you?" he greeted.

"She’s okay," Maty answered for me.

I furrowed my brow and shot a look at Matt for speaking up. I could feel the irritation in his tone as well.

Vice Ty fell silent for a moment.

"W‑Well, that’s good to hear," he said.

"Shall we continue, or do you want me to make you kneel again in front of Zein?" Matt teased.

He tugged me away from there, and I quickly smacked his arm once I understood what he meant.

"You were the one who scared him, so he knelt in front of me back then?" I asked, hardly able to believe it.

So he had been the one to intimidate Vice Ty, which made him suddenly kneel before me and apologize.

"Well, I only made him do that because of how he hurt you," Matt said, laughing loudly.

I could only shake my head.

"Looks like you two are having fun?"

We didn’t even notice Nicky and Nazzer standing in front of us. My gaze fell on their intertwined hands.

I smiled.

Nicky blushed when she saw Matt and me staring at their intertwined hands.

She tried to pull her hand back, but Nazzer held on tighter, smiling at us.

"Nice to see you again... We have to go, excuse us," he said hurriedly.

They quickly disappeared from in front of us. Matt and I exchanged glances, and I was surprised when he took my hand.

"Just a friendly hand-hold... No funny business. Promise!" he said, raising his right hand, which made me laugh.

I let him hold my hand. There was no malice, and it didn’t feel awkward at all.

We had only taken a few steps when Angel and Roxane blocked our way.

Angel quickly stepped between us, and Roxane grabbed my arm, wrapping hers around mine and pressing us together.

"BFF... I miss you so much."

"Eww..."

I tried to pull my arm away, but she held on even tighter. I really didn’t like Roxane’s version of "friendly." It was suffocating and nauseating.

I was startled when Allison stepped in front of us.

"May I borrow my little sister?"

Roxane swallowed. "Let’s just share," she said, but Allison quickly tugged me away.

Why was I being pulled around like this all day? At this rate, I’d probably end up with a sprain before the day was over.

"I don’t share, sorry." Allison tugged me even further away. "Are you and Matt ready?" she asked.

I was startled by my sister’s question. I had already said so many times that Matt was just a friend to me, and that it would only ever be that. Matt had already accepted it, but Ate had not. She strongly favored Matt, especially since she knew I once had a crush on him, but things were different now. So much had changed.

"Ate..."

"I like Matt better than, what was his name again?"

I could only shake my head. I knew she still remembered the name of the man I continued to love; she was only pretending to have forgotten.

"Ace..."

The moment I said his name, I caught sight of Ace with Raze.

My heart seemed to leap, and although I wanted nothing more than to run to him and embrace him, I knew I could not. He did not want me to come near him.

I didn’t know what had happened, but after everything, he started avoiding me.

It hurt, he suddenly kept his distance without even giving a reason.

He avoided me for no reason at all...

My lips trembled, and I was about to walk away when Ate pulled me toward them. I shot her a glare, but she ignored it.

"You!" she barked at Ace, who simply kept a poker face. He wasn’t wearing his glasses, and it seemed like he had no intention of putting them on. "Did you seduce my little sister?!" she shouted.

"Ate..."

"I didn’t..." I almost melted at the coldness in her voice.

I couldn’t hear the man I loved, which only made the ache in my chest worse.

What happened to us? Everything seemed fine the last time I knew.

"Baby..."

I glanced at Raze, who was smiling at Ate. I felt a bit happy seeing Hoy perched on his shoulder, but then I frowned when he snubbed me.

So that’s it?! After I’ve taken care of you and watched over you, now that your master is here, you just suddenly avoid me?! You’re all the same! Just suddenly turning away!

"Oh, there you are... I didn’t notice."

"I’ve been here for a while... Ahmm, baby? I want you to meet my cat... Dark."

Raze laughed.

So, Dark was Hoy’s name? Huh!

I glanced at Ace and caught him looking at me. He quickly looked away.

I smiled, though tears threatened to fall. I turned away and went over to Mommy.

Why, Ace? Did I do something wrong? Please just tell me so I don’t look like a fool, making up reasons in my head.

The program had started, but my mind was elsewhere. Even now, you still manage to stir my thoughts.

"The new set of Highest 10..."

I looked toward the stage, where Teacher Kath stood with papers in hand as the emcee.

"On first place, and definitely the highest among the rest..." Teacher Kath’s gaze paused on Raze. "Raze Silvenia," she announced.

We clapped as he walked forward and winked at Ate, who just raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have something to say?" Teacher Kath asked him.

Raze took the mic.

"Congratulations!" he said to us.

Ace and Raze had officially graduated from high school. Since there was no college available here, their studies had been put on hold, but now that they were free again, they would probably continue college soon.

"And... Baby, I will do everything to steal your heart, and if it’s a crime... arrest me now."

Everyone shouted in excitement. I smiled as Allison suddenly walked out. I sensed something... off? Geez.

"On second rank is the Supreme Student Government President... Ace Craige."

I watched him ascend the stage. There was still no emotion visible on his face.

I missed him so badly. Shit!

"Congratulations to all of you... I know the past years haven’t been easy for you, and I admire you... Job well done... You survived... You did it..." His gaze met mine. "I love you all..." he said.

The crowd erupted in applause.

"On third rank is Matthew Hart, the King of Hell University."

I furrowed my brow as Matt walked up, Angel holding onto his arm. Huh?

The crowd laughed. He declined to give a speech, so the next name was called.

"On fourth rank is the Queen of Hell University and the Supreme Student Government Secretary."

I stood up and marched toward the stage. Teacher Kath smiled at me.

"Congratulations..." she said.

I simply smiled and took the mic.

I swept my gaze over all the students and their companions.

"Hell University... Just the name alone sparks curiosity," I began. "Curiosity? It’s funny, because this is what brought us to this place. We love adventure, but I must say... this is the one I enjoyed and loved the most."

I smiled as all the memories of the past came rushing back, the past that shaped who we are today.

"Hell University is literally hell, and... out of this world?" I said with a laugh. "Seriously? What kind of sane school even has a bloody night where killing is legal? It is insane..." I added.

"But because of this place, our friendship became stronger, and so did our trust in one another." I looked at my friends one by one as they smiled at me. "In this place, I learned that trust is not something given lightly, nor something you simply pick up anywhere. There is nothing wrong with trusting; what is wrong is trusting the wrong person." I closed my eyes as I remembered that person.

But I cannot really blame him. He is a father; he would do anything for his child. It is just sad that it had to be done that way.

"I experienced so many terrible things inside this place. I was slapped and beaten, almost to the point of death."

I glanced at Roxane and Angel, who both avoided my gaze.

"But there was also something good. And the one I am most grateful for in this place is him... the person who taught me and made me feel how sweet it is to love. He is the reason I can kill without hesitation. He is the reason I am even willing to hurt and deceive myself. There were many obstacles, and it all led to surrender... Yes, I gave up, but in the end... I still fell for him. Whoever you are... I love you so much."

Tears welled up in my eyes, so I decided it was best to hand the microphone to Teacher Kath. I stepped down and let my gaze pass over Ace.

I no longer understood anything after that, except that Jerome placed sixth.

The graduation ended late at night. Hell University was no more, as the place had already been shut down.

"Where?" I asked Matt when he invited me along.

"Heaven."

I punched him on the arm, making him laugh. He took my hand and pulled me along.

Before I realized it, we were already standing at a distance, where a man leaning against a car could be seen.

My heart pounded violently...

"Enjoy," Matt whispered to me before leaving me behind.

I almost lost my breath when Supremo and I locked eyes.

* * *

Supremo Ace’s Point of View

I could not take my eyes off her. I want to hug her.

She remained standing there, not moving. I could not clearly see her face because it was already dark.

I started walking toward her, but when I was already close, she turned around and walked away.

Shit.

I quickly chased after her and grabbed her by the arm. I did not waste a second before pulling her into a hug. I heard her soft sobs and felt her hitting my back.

"I hate you..."

I smiled. "I thought you love me?" I asked.

"I do, but... I hate you now."

I laughed and loosened my embrace. I held her tear‑stained cheeks and wiped them with my hand.

"I am sorry..."

"Why?"

I took a deep breath before speaking. "I got scared..." I began, making her laugh.

"You? Scared? As far as I know, the only thing you are afraid of is cats."

I laughed even though I felt insulted. I mean, I am afraid of furry things! It is not my fault that I am scared of cats.

"I am afraid of cats, but I am more afraid of losing you..." She pouted at me, which made me laugh. "I avoided you because I was scared... I was scared of what you did," I said.

She frowned.

"You did not have to put your life in danger just to save me."

I was truly frightened by what Zein did. I did not want him to come to harm because of me.

"So, is that how it is? Only you have the right to sacrifice?" I froze when she held my face. "I am willing to die for you," she said.

I was left speechless and forced myself not to smile, even though my heart was already overflowing with excitement. That is just how I am, one small move from her and I am already swept away.

"Come with me..." I held her hand, but she swatted it away.

"You still owe me an explanation... Why did you kiss Angel?"

I frowned before remembering what happened that night. I was completely wrecked, I did not even know whether I was alive or dead. I was drunk, and I happened to see Angel. I was shocked when she kissed me, but I did not know that Zein had seen it.

"Zei-"

"It is fine. I know I am the only one you love, and besides, umm... we are even now," she said.

I was about to ask what she meant, but she got into the car first.

What did she mean by we are even?

"Whose car is this?" she asked when I got inside.

"Your boyfriend’s."

She froze for a moment, which made me laugh. She really is slow sometimes.

I just turned on the radio, and the song playing was Passenger Seat.

I looked at her beside me and smiled, overwhelmed with happiness that she was still with me even now.

"I love you..."

She looked at me.

"I know," she replied, making me laugh.

"It should be ’I love you too.’"

"Yes, I know."

I just pouted. She has always been this

annoyingly clever.

I heard her soft laugh.

"I love you very, very much."

Damn it! I wanted to scream from how giddy I felt.

"One more time..."

"I love you very, very much, Ace Craige! Supremo of my life."

I was surprised when she kissed my cheek. I smiled, because later, that kiss would not just be on my cheek anymore.

I parked the car and we both got out.

"The beach?"

I held her hand and guided her to sit on the fine sand. It would have been more romantic if we were watching the sunset, but it was already night. It did not matter, as long as I was with her.

I turned her to face me and stared at her face. Even if I looked at her for a lifetime, I would never get tired of it.

"From now on, you are not going anywhere away from me. We are no longer in Hell University; we are outside now. There are more men here."

She laughed, but I was serious.

"Remember, Supremo. There is no bloody night here. You would go to jail."

"I do not care. I will kill anyone who comes near you. I am not joking," I said seriously.

She smiled. "Fine. Even if they come near me, it is still only you. You and only you... unless you are the one who pushes me away," she replied.

"That would never happen." I held her hand.

"I am the only one you are allowed to love... only me, Zein. You are not allowed to love another man. It is only me or no one." I held her cheek. "And this is an order from the highest Supreme Student Government..." I leaned my face closer to hers. "Darling, you cannot do anything about it," I said before pressing our lips together.

I closed my eyes in pure happiness.

I never thought I would love like this. I never thought that in that place, I would find the woman I would dedicate my life to. I never thought we would meet in that place, in a place called... Hell University.
