The next week passed, and the students and teachers are finally facing off in a battle of the classes. Students were making final adjustments to their setups, which made for the students who didn't want to participate make their way to the auditorium.

Terry was wishing everybody best of luck, and brought everybody some bottles of water.

Kas called all of the teachers and Gloria to the teacher's lounge.

"I know we're competing as well, but we don't even have a list. The theme is past assignments, but nobody threw a list for suggestion."

Everybody stayed silent, allowing for Kas to ask a question about the headmaster.

"Is the headmaster trying to train future idols?"

Everybody nodded, and Gloria pulled out a tab on her.

"The headmaster, before retiring from the idol business, was once a popular idol who went by the name Mirrah. She still holds on to her former glory, and wants to see who has the potential to carry on her legacy."

The headmaster's voice came from a mass communication rune, calling for all seniors to come up and perform.

Yun left his group, meeting up with Ren, Cleo, and the Chandlers. They got into position with all of the seniors, and brought them to position. Their theme was sex appeal. Yun was doing the drumming with Ren on guitar.

Cleo Chandler (Blonde) Ren Yun

There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope ya feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

There's only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship so, beware
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots (Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

Let's go
Let me see what you can do
I'm runnin' this (like, like, like, like a circus)
Yeah
Like a what? (like, like, like, like a circus)

All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

Ren Blonde Chandler

For all the sentimental reasons reeling,
It's only superficial feeling,
Bad shot, Cannot,
I'll laugh when I want it,
This chance you'll get, are you ready yet?

Although I sometimes think it, for fun I will dream it,
I never know the time to be so,
So happy, so snappy, you'll be friendly,
Till the time you throw me away,

Ah stabbing me through the heart,
It's like a nightmare,
Giving the chance to start,
It's like a lie now,
Swirling and whirling,
If this is love I, cannot wait to part,
And run away,

Hey, call my name, just as loud as you can,
I will adore so, more so, I really wanna scream,
Can't escape, No, no, not if you're in my lair,
Perhaps you'll grin, I'll win, you never saw me coming.

I do not hate it, want it, I bear it, I'm lying,
It's bitter sweet but it's making me nervous,
Really? I don't know how to take it
If I'm a whore, you'll tell me the truth.

I say I'm stupid, foolish, dim-witted,
Brainless, slow, dim, I face it, I break it, I'm useless
I make it by in life by trusting the ones, who tell me,
I'm worth the fight,

Ah, fell from the skies above, could it be this love,
Purple to petal flight, like little raindrops
Spinning, and dancing, you feeling dizzy?
Maybe we'll take a break, and run away?

Now show me baby, now don't you be scared,
Little touch, little kiss, feel a shiver down your spine,
Now, yes let's fuck, till the morning is nigh,
I'll fascinate, you'll create, till we're both still flying high,

This feeling sweet or nice,
We'll make it once or twice,
So after all of the pitying noises cry,
We'll be alone to feel,
We'll know it's all unreal,
So, do you agree?
So do you believe?

Come on, you've called me for so many years,
What are complaints? No restraints? You've come here to play,
Hit, miss, so, so, are you ready or not?
Maybe you are? Or so far, are you scared to try?
Well from, your eyes, are you seeing me clear?
If it is time, give it mine, feel your fingers down my spine,
Are you hard or soft? Are you ready to 'cum'?
So if you are? Is it far? Are you waiting for me darling?
Ahh my darling,
Ahh!

...

The seniors bowed, and the headmaster called for the freshmen.

Lex positioned everybody before the curtain opened, then got behind a set of DJ decks. He looked at a female with black hair and a matching guitar.

"Are you ready, Lara?"

Lex Lara

It's  been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A sinful, miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

Constantly, boy you play through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are and I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a (love song baby) love song, baby
I, I love you like a (love song baby) love song, baby
I, I love you (I love you, I love you) like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (like a love song)

No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I love you like a love song

...

Lex Lara

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

(Both)
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

...

The freshmen bowed, and the headmaster declared an intermission. Everybody had lunch, giving the sophomores, juniors, and teachers time to practice. Khaston called the participating juniors together, and did his best to motivate everyone to do well.

"The teachers are going to be a challenging opponent. We need to learn quickly from their performance, and bring the juniors their first win in six years!"

The headmaster called for the teachers, who then arrived quickly to the scene.

"Kas, are you ready to come out?"

Ignoring the question, finally ready to be honest about himself, Kas led the teachers into the performance. Terry looked at a woman in the background.

"Hit it, Marri!"

The woman gave a thumbs up, and the teachers got into position behind the curtain, standing under a darkened area.

Kayla Wayne

The excuses, are they starting up now?
Honey, are they starting up now? Huh?
Isn't it just
Isn't it just
Isn't it just?
You should know you will never escape

Is that a face looking down on us all? Are you getting close to appalled? Huh?
Isn't it just
Isn't it just
Isn't it just?
Tell me, what's this treasure waiting to be found?

The same as me, are you feeling worthy?
To the very end we're filthy, huh?
Isn't it just
Isn't it just
Isn't it just?
Just a crazy idea at most

We're not in need, so it must be useless
Or be wallowing in sadness
Right?
Could it be this?
Could it be that?
Or even this?
Hand me back my delusions

Ignore the hand that's stopped its tracing patterns
And go ahead to dream completely boring dreams

Ah,
You feel the need to hide
Do you feel inhuman, tell me please
All your thoughts are gonna be in vain so
Don't kick up a fuss, Anonymous
I will never hear your noise
But I will cry all the same
The anticipation, just a small grain
Getting dirty and becoming tear-stained
I grew up and then I sang this mundane song

This isn't good, honey are sick now?
Honey I can see you're sick now, huh?
Every day
Weekday
Holiday!
And it's always so selfish and lame

So take my heed, standing in the cold rain
It's a guileless sort of downpour, hey
Could it be this?
Could it be, miss?
Hit and a miss
Just try to deceive, thank you

Cover your ears to drive away the small talk
And slowly strip away your skin, let the knife walk

And every single time
It seems like you failed, like I
It's a foolproof academic theory
Know I'm right, admit defeat
Expectations high, but they're still just bullshit, oh
Honey, I just wanna be true to you
I just wanna be honest with you

You feel the need to die
Do you feel inhuman, stop breathing
Can't you aim a little higher with those idealistic thoughts, Anonymous?
I will never hear your noise
But I will cry all the same
The anticipation, just a small grain
Getting dirty and becoming tear-stained
I grew up and then I sang this mundane song

The excuses, finished long ago now
But they're starting up again now, huh?
Isn't it just
Isn't it just
Isn't it just?
Didja think you'd really talk me down?

But that's enough
I am giving up now
Honey, I have had enough now, ahh
Every day
Just one day
Will we meet?
Tell me, where's the treasure waiting to be found....?

...

Gloria:
How are you? What's this nervousness that's only just arrived?
What are those? Constant thoughts that cause such worry in your mind

Wayne:
They're kind of hard to picture and then harder still to find
Why do I? Wonder after all this time?

Terry:
Is it my fault that eventually they all got left behind?
Yet I'm still the only one who made way for all these desires
But they have no future
"What a shame!" I hear you cry
How will we get along now you and I?

Kas:
I told them to run and hide, from the world you'll always find in your mind
To be such a damn pain inside
Though I have constantly tried, to save those who let the darkness reside
It's such a goddamn pain of mine

Kas and Kayla:
I even believed the tears throughout each of your stupid lies
"But I still love you so!" you cried
Is it still a fault of mine, if you won't see me after all this time
You're such a fucking pain of mine!

Terry:
All this practice made me used to only ever walking blind
My only regret's that all respect for me was on the line
And like smoke it vanished
Right in front of my eyes
Gone now and for the rest of time

Emma:
Now I only see their faces when I'm sleeping late at night
"I promise you there's no danger, here, I beg you let us try again!"
I find, I won't lie, when I hear your sweet cries
It leaves me reeling, feeling oh so satisfied

Kas:
I told them to run and hide, from the world they'll always find in their mind
To be such a damn pain inside
They ignored me though I tried, Now they're pleading for their lives, oh my!
You think I'd give a fuck of mine?

Kas and Emma:
I even believed the lies that spoke so clearly from their frightened eyes
"Does that mean that no one was right?"
But really, who am I? And do you think the job is mine?
To save, all your goddamn souls from hell fire

Gloria:
Somebody just tell me why, I even worry for human life?
It isn't a concern of mine!
Though I have constantly tried, to save those who invite darkness inside
I'm starting to get sick and tired!

All:
I even believed the tears throughout each of your stupid lies
"But why, it's all too late!" you cry
Tell me, is the fault still mine, if you won't see me after all this time

Kas:
You're such a fucking pain of mine!

...

At the last line of the song, Kas surrounded himself in light, before revealing his wings to all of the students. He flew upward, stretching his arms to the side, using his energy to finally come out to the students.

The teachers bowed, and the headmaster called for the sophomores. A female vocalist then made her way to the center, holding her bass in hand, jet-black hair flowing in the wind magic.

Betrayal stays dark, fall down
This deteriorating world
I pulled out my heart and lost my warmth
My weakness stays on my mind
Holding my immaturity
Turning my back because I have no right to sing

Colorless eyes, lit up by
Your words

Louder...!
You are my everything
[You are my everything]
Your sound glowing and overflowing
With my sound I try to... I want to tell you
I'm movin' on with you
[Movin' on with you]
I want to send it all to you
Because you were there, I was there too
Surely, there's no more need to cry

Fragility should just break, it's been so long
Taking childishness in that moment
I'll make those dreams come true
I don't look back
What I choose is inevitable, all the time
I'll show you my aggravated skin
No need to be ashamed
Forever

Ahh... I'm not lost
I won't hesitate

Not even one word
To listen...
I will never die
[I will never die]
Until I accomplish my fate in the place I was born
Keep on running, just like this always
Nothing's gonna change my world
[Gonna change my world]
Only silence, so good-bye
Shake it more violently, cause a wave
With your first words

Only one... if you unravel your song
I was there then
And so were you, smiling
I renew one's hopes just
Strong [Strong]
Hot [Hot]
Reach [Reach]
Sing for...

Louder...!
You're my everything!

Your sound glowing and overflowing
With my sound I try to... I want to tell you
I'm movin' on with you
[Movin' on with you]
I want to send it all to you
Because you were there, I was there too
Surely, there's no more need to cry

Feel alive...

...

What moved me was this place where I belonged to
Towards the sky that cleared up little by little
Even the things I ran from
I feel like I can face them now

The emotions that make my tear glands tremble
We play it in this sincere serenade
I extend both of my hands towards the desired outcome

Heart to Heart
Within this rising passion is a wildly dancing soul
Where our voices become one
Let's embrace this one and only feeling in the world
(Forever One)

Heart to Heart
This focused and unhesitating true intention guides us
It's a multicolored song that seems to have awakened
Along this moment that's filled with love
This destiny (Oh) that we overcame (Oh)
Will light the path to the future

What changed me was this place where I belonged to
In the seasons that continued to change
My immature form still persisted
I got hold of a way to move forward

Faith
Let's reclaim the things we've forgotten that day
Faith
My keyboard is accompanied by a single minded wish (Feel it)
(I will be just myself)
I promise

Eye to Eye
Even if this bloom is fleeting
In my heart dwells a strength that won't lose to anyone
I won't let go of this one and only dream in the world
(Forever One)

Eye to Eye
With the brightness from the clarity in my heart
This is a multicolored song of being reborn
Filled by this moment along with a sense of importance
I will overcome (Oh) Myself (Oh)
For the sake of meeting myself

Through this melody with words I'm certain of
The moment where we become one shines
Within the fingers that moved me was a gentle voice

Heart to Heart
Within this rising passion is a wildly dancing soul
When everyone's voice becomes my voice
Let's embrace this one and only feeling in the world
(Forever One)

Heart to Heart
This focused and unhesitating true intention guides us
It's a multicolored song that seems to have awakened
Along this moment that's filled with love
Endlessly (Oh) No matter how many (Oh) Only strongly
This destiny (Oh) That we overcame (Oh)
Shines a path towards the future

...

The sophomores bowed, and the headmaster called for the juniors.

As the last act of the day, they knew that they would be the freshest in memory. They put on a pair of shades, positioning themselves on benches, some hanging on chandeliers.

Khaston Female

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down

I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love

One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw em back, till I lose count

Blame it on the booze
Got you feeling loose
Blame it on 'tron
Got you in the zone
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol
Blame it on the a a a a a a alcohol

Blame it on the vodka
Blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the blue top
Got you feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol
Blame it on the a a a a a a alcohol

And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"

Phone's blowin' up, I feel the love, feel the love
I feel the love, feel the love
Sun is up, I'm a mess

Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw em back till I lose count (My buzz set in)

Now to the ballas poppin' bottles
With they Henny in they cups screamin'
Money ain't a thing, if it ain't throwin' it up in the sky
Hold your drinks up high (high)

And to my independent mommas
Who can buy they own bottles
If you lookin' like a model
When them broke fellas holla, tell 'em, bye
Hold your drinks up high

And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

...

The juniors threw their shades off of their faces, and moved themselves until they formed a heart.

Taken aback, so sudden an act
Since you caught my eye when you hurried past
Beating so loud, that thundering sound
As my heart inside is racing so fast

Your confession, such a procession
Was it a rehearsal, in the moment unknown
Just a test so you'd do your best yet
I try to smile as I fall in the friendly-zone
"Do you mean it? Maybe I like it!"
Sorry for the trouble that I caused had you known
I wanted to see, what you thought of me
Hey, do you mind if we took the long way home

Maybe one day, you just might say
And tell me which lucky person you like
Half of me would rather not know
But I can't decide, no!

This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do

"Love's your savior, you won't see failure"
Even silly fortunes are a plus for today
All the good signs, for I had worse lines
Time to prep for yet another lie you'll say

The last run through before you speak true
This time I'll be the one acting fake
Give that pep talk, cheering you on
As I turn to leave, "wait!"

This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do

Beating so loud, that thundering sound
As my heart inside is racing for you
Beating so loud, that thundering sound
It's ok for I know you feel it too

At least I think I do

...

The juniors bowed, and left the stage. Everybody heard the headmaster's telepathy, saying that results will be posted tomorrow.

The next day passed, and a few people were feeling tense. Wayne noticed the tension first, and asked a student what was up with the atmosphere. When he got the answer, he sighed, knowing it would be normal.

"We literally just found out yesterday about that distant explosion we heard on the first day of school. It was Kas, wasn't it? He's an Ultima?"

Wayne nodded, before sighing again. He whispered the secret into the student's ear, trying his best to lie, despite everyone knowing the truth now.

Students were all waiting in the main hall, prepared to ask Kas some questions.

Eventually, Kas arrived through the front door. He was surrounded, and students closed all of the doors. They brought out a chair and desk, and began to bombard the teacher with questions.

Kas sighed, and admitted his secret.

"Yes, I am an Ultima Awakener. When my sister came to visit, she was flying straight from the island. In the past, our parents were very tough combat mentors, so that's how I fight so well, but still can't defeat my sister's husband."

Students were satisfied with the answers, and some left. However, Khaston still had some questions.

"Why did you hide the fact from us?"

Completely defeated, Kas closed his eyes.

"Did you know that Eriole tried to kill the king of the Sama Kingdom because of his Ultima roots?"

Everybody nodded, not knowing what this had to do with the topic.

"I fear that one day, the same will happen to me. And that's why I hid from my true self."

Finally satisfied, Khaston and other students backed off before going to class. Kayla had the results of the contest yesterday, and read the results aloud.

"In fifth place, the sophomores!"

There was nothing but applause.

"In fourth, the freshmen!"

Kayla declares the seniors in third, which left it down to the juniors and teachers.

"In second, the teachers, which means that the juniors got the first win in six years!"

Throughout the hallway, there was applause and cheering.

"Now, regarding what happened yesterday. You can't let anybody else find out about Kas's secret, not even your sister, Khaston."
