This time, Gary mustered enough strength to open his heavy eyelids and he was greeted by a bright white light above him. A plain colour. It was a familiar feeling, a familiar scene as if he had been here before. The soft touch of the bedsheets in his hands acted as the last piece of the missing puzzle. ‘Sh*t! I'm back in a hospital bed again, aren’t I? What happened this time.’ The green haired teenager tried to recollect his thought as he clenched the sheets tightly. He could only remember bits and pieces, with most of it just being a reminder of how painful that hunger had been.Eventually, the memories of what had happened were slowly coming to him, and thankfully not one of them had him eat, kill or injure anyone else. Still, he also had no clue how he had ended up in this room. He remembered the teacher Eddy getting involved with the fight towards the end, but that was it.“Well… I can always ask someone later. I guess it at least all worked out in the end.” Gary let out a sigh

The three walked through the hallway at a fast pace, they didn't want to run to attract any attention, because currently, they were now in the official academy. They were supervisors, teachers and students that would appear once in a while, in certain places. The reaction to this little mission that they had was different for all of them, Numba nervous, Izzy focused while Ian, he was excited. Never did he think his life in the AFA would amount to so many things happening and a life like this. In fact, he didn't even get a second to relax, either. “Alright, so there are two things that need to be done. First is to get a test tube they use for blood, and also, get a syringe to draw out the blood. I’m guessing neither of you knows how to give yourself a blood test?” Izzy asked. “I feel a little sick just thinking about it, they need to find a vein right in your arm, and they wrap that thing around your bicep,” Ian replied. “Alright, well we don’t know why Gary needs Numba's blood, b

Finding his room, Gary pressed the key card the nurse had handed him against the door and it had unlocked, opening up. The smell of freshness wafted into his nose. It felt similar to the sensation one experienced when checking out a hotel room.To the left, there was a nice kitchen area with two stoves to allow the students to do some home cooking. Then there was a fridge next to it. To the right, was a large bathtub that doubled up as a shower. Finally, walking on a bit more, there was quite a large empty space with a high ceiling, as well as a few basic tools in the room such as dumbbells, and finally a double bed. For an apartment for a single person, it was beyond what Gary had expected, especially since he still remembered where he had slept in the facility during the first few days…Of course, it was nowhere near as high-end as the luxury rooms he had enjoyed at the end, but as the professors had already stated, that was special for the facility's circumstances. Living the life

Waking up, Gary was in a great mood. After all, the first thing on his Rota was breakfast. The canteen was linked to the red section of the dorms, so unfortunately, just like before, he had no chance to meet up with Xin. At this rate, if Gary wanted to meet her, then he would just have to go over to the blue section, or outright go search for her during a free period, hoping that she would be free as well. At breakfast, a kind of buffet awaited the students. The food there wasn’t as extravagant as in the facility, but there was plenty of meat such as sausages, bacon and chicken breast. Since he had missed the first day, and thus the opportunity to meet his dietician, he just picked everything he liked, which resulted in him carrying several plates of pure meat to his seat.The eyes all around the room naturally landed on him as he carried his towers of meat.“You know what, I'm happy for you, Gary.” Ian said as the green haired teenager sat down. All four of them were back together,

From the size of the large steel doors, everyone thought that they would be entering a fairly large room, but instead they were now in an even smaller room, with another locked door in front of them. The room was hardly large enough to fit around twenty people. There were a few seats, and a TV, where Mr Corvus was standing at the back.“You have been specifically chosen by the academy for this task. It is a job that not everyone can do. If you have a problem please ask. Which is why, before we are even to proceed, I must hand you all the documents you need.” Mr Corvus waved his weird staff, and from below the seats where the students were sitting a piece of paper emerged, landing in their laps or hands. It was like magic, but clearly that wasn't the case. Gary assumed it had something to do with the Teacher’s Altered forms power.“Please read all the terms and conditions carefully before proceeding, and remember you have the option to accept or decline.” Honestly, Gary didn't like
