Chapter 10; Introductions
It’s been a week since Levi left Asylum Bay for South Africa. He spends those days in Agent Steel’s house, getting used to the environment but most importantly learning how to control his photron energy. It’s another morning and Levi was in the training hall with Peter who folds his arms and watches as Levi releases his energy more effortlessly before drawing it back to himself to form a thin coat of blue energy around his entire body. Peter chuckles as Levi turns to him with his eyes glowing with energy. “Well done. I knew you’d pick it up.” Levi gives a little laugh as he stared his hand, raw blue energy covering his skin. “It’s like a warm jacket all over my body.” Peter slowly walks towards Levi with a smile on his face. “In that case, you’re ready for the next step.” Levi drops his arms to his side and locks eyes with Peter as he stops in front of him. “So what’s the next step?” For a long moment, Peter just stares at Levi before Levi notices his yellow energy radiating from

Chapter 11; The First Spark
Some moments later, Levi does some stretches on the platform before turning to MJ who had removed her shirt, leaving only her vest. Levi gets a good look of her female features but she wasn’t in any way as muscular like her dad. Peter watches from the bench with a smile on his face. “Alright. Standard rules…First one to hit the ground loses. Go!” Levi enters his combat pose and watches as MJ slowly approaches, her eyes beginning to glow and her body releasing lemon yellow energy in contrast with her father’s honey yellow colour. She then charges forward, throwing punches and kicks similar to Peter’s fighting style but hers was enhanced by her agility. Peter watches in earnest as they continue to exchange blows but it was obvious that Levi’s fighting style was difficult for her to counter. Levi grunts as he ducks under her fist and shifts his foot into her ankle, causing her to momentarily slip while Levi aims a fist at her gut… But once Levi’s fist gets too close, he hesitates a

Chapter 12; Drill
The next day, Levi and MJ were training again in the afternoon. MJ leaps forward, throwing at kick at Levi who blocks, letting the force send him skidding back just as she charges with a punch. But Levi grins as electricity wraps around his body and he instantly disappears. MJ stops and turns around to see Levi smiling at her with folded arms with his Static shell already activated. “That skill’s definitely a cheat.” “Your strength is a cheat.” Levi scoffs as he zips past her and back to his initial positon in less than a second. The electricity around Levi’s body fizzles away when he takes a calming breath and MJ walks up to him. “I’m serious. If you really work on it, you might become unstoppable.” Levi smiles to himself to the thought of it. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t notice Peter walking up to him. Peter continues to stare at Levi for a moment until Levi catches his gaze just before Peter throws an arm over him. “Congrats. You’re now ready f

Chapter 13; Unique
Sometime later, Levi was in his room, his body sprawled out on the bed with loud bass music from his interface connected directly to his ears when the door to his room swings open. He turns to Felix who gives Levi a confused stare. “What?” Levi said as he decreased the volume of his music and sat up. “Um…You wrote that test like it was nothing.” He said as he goes over to his bed and Levi chuckles. “It was a little tricky but it was alright. You?” Felix groans as he collapses to the bed with his voice being muffled by the sheets. “Tests are not really my thing. I’m more of a physical tron.” Levi softly chuckles as he moves his interface to his front and began scrolling for a new song when Felix jumps up with an idea. “Hey. Why don’t we go training?” Levi raises a brow at Felix from his interface. “Training?” “Yeah.” Felix grumbled as he stood up and did some stretches. “I heard that the Index has a training complex close by. Plus, it will be a little warm-up before the physical

Chapter 14; Analyze
The very next morning was cool and chilling yet also hot with the anticipation of the physical test of the Tron College Entrance exams. Under the sheets, a concealed figure tossed and turned before he eventually sat up with a long yawn and occasionally rubbing of the head. Felix turns with sleepy eyes to the white-haired figure in the room who was performing push-ups. “Dude.” Levi stops and turns to Felix with a slightly sweaty face. “It’s like…5 in the morning.” “Actually.” Levi chuckled as he stood up, tapped on his interface and swiped it over to Felix who squints to see the time. “It’s almost eight.” Felix rubs his eyes a couple of times before shrugging once he sees the time again. “Huh.” He swipes the interface back to Levi who began to select a new song to listen to. Some minutes later, Felix was still scrolling through his interface before glancing at Levi still working out. “The physical test’s not that big of a deal.” “Oh, I know.” He said as he cracks his neck and sta

Chapter 15; Welcome Soldiers
About an hour later, Levi was still in his room playing a combat video game when the door to his room flies open and Felix walks into the room. “Dude.” Levi pauses his game and turns to Felix who gives him another shocked look. “I heard you got a perfect 100.” Levi gives Felix a sceptic/confused expression. “You…heard?” Felix nods as he locks the door. “From who?” “Everyone’s talking about it. You’re the only one that got a perfect 100.” A small proud smile forms on Levi’s lips as he takes his hood off. “Dope.” He mumbled as he turns back to the game interface while Felix plops down on his bed. “Where have you been all this time?” Levi asked and Felix crosses his legs with a sigh. “I was hanging out with a very close friend of mine.” Levi pauses his game again and gives Felix his full-attention. “How close?” He asked with a smile and Felix chuckles when he understood what Levi meant. “We’ve been friends since we were kids. We kind of got our powers around the same time but she wa

Chapter 16; Tron College
It’s been 2 days since Levi passed the entrance exam and arrived at the college grounds. Throughout the time, he brushed up on his Tron studies, caught up on his series and also got used to the new environment. Besides MJ, Felix and Vivian, Levi never made an effort to meet others and converse, yet people always glance his way once they see his white hair. On the next day, however, the campus announced the commencement of classes and the students were each given 5 identical uniforms which must be worn to classes. It’s 7:36am and Levi stares himself in the mirror. He glances between his corporate black shoes and matching his long black pants. Then looks at his just over knee-length white jacket with slick blue designs on the buttons, collar, back and sleeves with a jet black shirt beneath and the campus logo on the left breast pocket. He sighs as he adjusts his long sleeves and grabs his back-pack just as a loud bell sound rings through the room. “Breakfast.” He mumbled as he wal

Chapter 17; Another Level
Almost an hour later, Jerry ushers the class out of the room and across the campus grounds to a large training hall. “Before we call it a day. I want us to have some trial battles. Think of it as a practical example of what I’ve been talking about.” “Jerry.” A sturdy man chuckled as he approaches the class with Jerry giving him a nod. “You all set up?” “Of course.” The man said with a hand gestured to one of the stages. Minutes later, the students were seated in the stands of a large cube-shaped stage with a concrete base and four pillars erected at each corner. The man interacts with a console beside the stage and gives Jerry a thumb-up. Jerry turns to the class from just outside the ring. “Alright. We’re going to have 6 fights. The rules are simple; the fight ends when one of the combatant’s surrenders or is unable to continue. Gears that leads to extreme injuries or fatalities are highly prohibited. Got it?” A few murmurs spread in the stands and Jerry nods as he inputs a co

Chapter 18; New Life
Mr Jerry wasn’t kidding with the whole ‘training hurting as hell’ talk from the first class. Ever since that day, Levi along with the rest of the S class were put through several training scenarios and lectures ranging from simple drals to complicated Web holons. And they weren’t just taught by Jerry, they were other pro trons who handled completely separate aspects of Tron training. An example is the Stealth training class in a large spacious gym which is handled by a strict pro tron with a strong muscular build. “Wrong.” He shouted out as he smacks a student’s gut with a baton and the guy hunches over as the man explains. “A tron has thermal and night vision along with the Photron probe. If you’re unable to perfect your stealth form, then you won’t be able to completely hide all these signatures.” He said with hands behind his back as he moves to other students. He then stops and cracks a little smile at Levi who was standing completely still and calm with eyes closed. The m

Chapter 19; Target Locked
Levi enters his fighting stance as he carefully watched Jake who had entered a strangely open pose with two objects on his palms which looked like…… “yo-yos?” Levi asked in confusion just as Jake flings another yo-yo at him which he easily weaves by, his eyes following the fast-moving yo-yo as it flies into a tree and completely obliterates the hard trunk. He thought as the yo-yo flies back to Jake. “Don’t let the appearance fool you!” Veronica shouted out before suddenly jumping back as MJ throws her heel down on the ground she was standing on, completely crushing the spot. “They’re more dangerous than you think!” She said as she moves to the side with MJ closely following her with more punches and kicks. Levi leans backwards, leaving the yo-yo to weave over his body. “No kidding.” He grumbled as he rolls to the side before dodging as another yo-yo collides to the ground. Jake grunts as he brings both yo-yos down on Levi with his green energy radiating from them
