My muscles burned with pain; a constant reminder that pain was my gateway to the strength I wanted.When I did the last sit-up, the screen appeared, Daily routine completed! Time for training with Special Landon.I healed as I walked back to my dormitory, Landon was waiting for me.I could tell that he badly wanted to know where I always went to. He must find me really busy for a Special with no class or training schedules."Once again, you were not in the dormitory. Surprise, Surprise" He rolled his eyes as we walked to our training spot.I ignored his statement, "Your friends came looking for me.""What?!" He stopped on his tracks, horror on his face as his skin grew pale."I didn't go against our deal, Landon. You do not have to worry about that." I couldn't help but laugh.His ego was twice his size and he would do literally everything just to make sure it didn't get hurt.He frowned and hissed then started walking ahead of me."What did they want?" He asked a little angri

Writer's POVThe Principal had gone through the folders of several documents he kept on Zenin and Ava's experiment.He hid these folders away from Ava and Liam so they would never find his true goal in doing the experiments.When he had gone through the folders he had kept with him, he only realized how useless they were.He had kept the wrong folders with himself and stored away the really important ones in the room where the experiment was conducted."Shit!" He cussed loudly, dropping the folders.There wasn't so much time left before the fight between Ivan and the young Ash.He wanted everything in place for the experiment before the fight.Callin didn't know what Ivan was up to.He wouldn't say a word to him so Callin didn't want to be taken by surprise.He wanted to be ready when Ivan made his decision on how he was going to defeat the Young Ash without raising a finger.Sighing, he opened a portal to the room where the experiment had been done.Whenever he needed to visit the ro

It's the fifth day already before my fight with Ivan and a lot has changed.I'm stronger, faster and more stable on the sand.Not so Surprisingly, I'm bigger too; not too big but still big in a way that I never thought was possible.I caught his hand right before it hit me, momentarily enjoying the rush of wind on my face.His hand had healed but I could still see it.Even when he used the assassin level of Stealth, I could see the part of his hand I had stabbed.I push him over but Aki creates a big palm of flames to catch him."Once again, Kastian, you do not do the pushing, he does. All you have to do is avoid getting pushed off the fence." There was a groan in the end of his Speech that made it obvious he was tired of telling me not to push Langrid off the fence."Got it!" I nodded at him as he controlled the palm of flames to bring Langrid back to the fence.The latter goes invincible again once he is back on the fence.Aki had created really tall fences with flames.His aim was

As Landon and I made our way through the facility, I waited for it but it never came.I opened my mind, ready to feel the cold, dark energy but it never came.I waited and waited, then waited a lot more but it never came."Are you okay?" Landon's voice snapped me back to reality."Yeah." I nodded but the look on his face showed that he didn't believe me."Just eager to meet Ascher.""You remember his name?" Landon tilted his head and stared at me like I was something interesting.I inwardly sighed, glad he didn't ask any more questions I didn't need him to ask."You mentioned it more than once already." We make our way past a huge gym with Specials training in it.They must be training their physical abilities."I did." He looked away from me.We reached a small room.I wonder what could be behind those small doors.Maybe it was just an aftermath of my daily routines but I felt big; too big, before the door."This is the library for water elementals. The academy has many libraries wit

"Kastian?" Landon shook my hand and I blinked, returning to reality."Hmm?" I looked around the library, hoping no one else saw me zone out like that.When I was satisfied it was just Ascher and Landon staring at me weirdly, I turned to Ascher, "You were saying?""I believe there would be so much more to study about the elemental ability if there was any Special with it. Personally, I believe that Special would have been able to take the academy back to the way it used to be where Ava and Liam governed it." There was an unmistakable sadness in his voice and on his face but when he quickly masked it with indifference, I swallowed the question I was going to ask."The blood elemental ability would have been the strongest of all six elemental abilities, established. How would you place the rest in terms of power?" Landon asked, surprisingly more interested in the conversation than I thought he would be."That's quite simple. Blood, Earth, Light, Wind, then Water and Flames on the same l
