NOVEL NEXT Chapter 84: Victory
Victory, Chaos, and A New Battle Begins
April 5th & 6th – The Final Voting Days
The energy in Dibrugarh Academy was at its peak as students cast their votes on the second and third days of elections. Campaign banners hung from the balconies, supporters of different candidates engaged in heated debates, and the atmosphere was thick with tension.
Inside the massive auditorium-turned-polling-station, students formed long queues to cast their votes. The hall was lined with voting booths, each monitored by faculty members to ensure fair play.
Mri, Kai, and Ishu stood near the entrance, watching as their members confidently entered to vote.
"This election is more than just a student body," Kai said, crossing his arms. "It's about dominance. If we win, we control the school's future."
Ishu nodded. "And Konica is the right person for it."
As the clock ticked toward 5:36 PM, the final votes were cast. A silence fell over the academy as the counting process began.
The Shocking Fire & Explosion
Just as the election results were being tallied, chaos erupted elsewhere.
BOOM!
A massive explosion tore through the boy's hostel, sending flames into the sky. The ground trembled, and students screamed as the structure started collapsing.
Mri, Kai, Ishu, and Aamon, who were in their room packing their stuff after sensing a strange tension around the hostel earlier, were thrown off their feet by the blast.
"We need to get out—NOW!" Aamon shouted, pulling Mri up as the flames crept closer.
With smoke filling the air, they fought their way through the half-destroyed corridors, dodging falling debris. They could hear distant sirens—someone had already called for help.
Once outside, they turned back and saw the once-standing hostel reduced to burning rubble. The night sky was painted in hues of orange and black as firefighters rushed in to control the flames.
"Someone did this," Kai muttered, his eyes narrowing.
"Yeah," Ishu agreed. "And whoever it is, they wanted us dead."
The Four had no choice but to relocate. That night, they moved into a luxurious high-rise apartment in the heart of the city—a temporary safe house arranged by their allies.
"I have a feeling this is just the beginning," Mri murmured as he looked out at the city lights from the apartment's massive glass window.
Election Results
Meanwhile, at exactly 5:36 PM, the results were declared.
Konica Deori won by 259 votes.
The academy erupted in cheers as her supporters celebrated the hard-fought victory. Firecrackers burst in the sky, and students ran through the corridors, chanting her name.
In the midst of the celebration, The Three Souls' division captains and their members rushed toward the central courtyard to congratulate Konica. However, before they could reach her—
A hostile group from The Twin Monarch stepped in, blocking their way. Their expressions were sharp, their body language aggressive.
"We're not here to celebrate," one of them sneered. "We're here to remind you that this fight isn't over."
Just as tensions were about to erupt—
A sudden wave of immense pressure flooded the area.
A red aura exploded into existence, shaking the ground slightly.
Adonish Tutty, the 2nd Division Captain of The Three Souls, stepped forward. His eyes burned with intensity, and his crimson aura swirled around him like a storm.
The hostile members of The Twin Monarch felt it immediately—the sheer weight of his presence. Their bodies stiffened, their knees nearly buckling under the force.
"Step back," Adonish said calmly, yet his voice carried an undeniable dominance.
The opposing captains exchanged uneasy glances. Even though they outnumbered him, his presence alone made them hesitate.
One of them clenched his fists. "Tch… we'll deal with this later."
Without another word, they turned and left, their retreat silent proof of Adonish's strength.
As the tension faded,Dipankar smirked. "Man, you really scared them off."
Adonish shrugged, his aura slowly disappearing. "They just needed a little reminder of their place."
With the threat gone, the celebration resumed.
Mri and his group finally arrived, joining Konica and the rest of their faction in a night of victory.
The Three Souls had won.
April 7th – The Official Union Body Announcement
The next morning, the Principal's Office announced the newly elected Union Body Members over the loudspeakers:
General Secretary – Konica Deori
Assistant General Secretary (AGS) – Adonish
Cultural Secretary – Priyanka Morang
Sports Secretary – Kellyso Kri
Magazine Secretary – Aditya
Students Development Secretary – Dipankar Murah
The announcement cemented The Three Souls' influence over the student body. With key members in positions of power, they had officially seized control of the Academy's future.
Later that day, Konica entered the Principal's Office, determined to start her work.
But the seat across the desk was empty.
"The Principal isn't here?" she asked the secretary at the door.
The woman hesitated before replying, "He hasn't been in for days."
Konica clenched her jaw. She had always suspected something was off about the Principal—an incompetent figurehead who barely cared about the Academy.
And now, her suspicions were confirmed.
"This Academy doesn't need him," she muttered under her breath as she left the office. "It needs someone who actually gives a damn."
She would not let his absence slow her down.
Within hours, she gathered a team and began inspecting the school's infrastructure—dilapidated classrooms, unhygienic canteens, and broken-down sports facilities.
"This is going to change," she declared. "I'll make sure of it."
April 11th – The Next Challenge: The Football Match
Just when things seemed to settle, another major announcement shook the Academy.
A football match was scheduled between The Three Souls and The Twin Monarch.
It wasn't just a game—it was a clash of dominance.
The moment the announcement was made, the campus erupted into excitement.
"Finally! A real showdown!"
"This will prove who the strongest faction is!"
Both sides began training immediately. The field was reserved for intense practice sessions, with each faction sharpening their strategies.
On one side, The Three Souls planned with Kelly and Dipankar leading the training.
On the other side, The Twin Monarch gathered their best players under Luhit Sen's leadership, fueled by their thirst for revenge.
As the sun set over Dibrugarh Academy, both factions prepared for battle.
The war of fists and words was over.
Now, it was time to fight on the field.
