The screen appeared in front of me, displaying my exercise routine for the evening.Wrong timing.I badly wanted to ignore it and go in search for loser but I couldn't.I wanted to get stronger so I was going to grasp every opportunity.I changed my plan and did my routine before heading to my dormitory.Luckily, I found him by my door, I didn't have to search for him."We begin today. Right now." I informed him and he nodded.I needed to have one sparring session with him before asking him for his abilities because I needed him to trust that I wasn't going to bail out on him after I had used him."I know a good training ground." He started moving ahead of me and I followed.We walked until we reached an open space.Where was this?"It's the most hidden training ground in the academy."I knew why he had chosen here, he didn't want to get caught by his friends, with me."It's large." I admitted."It is but it's not the largest."If this wasn't the largest, I could only imagine what the
"No longer coming?" Landon asked when I remained glued to a spot.I read the words on the screen over and over again.There was a room under this building."You can leave, I'll be right behind you." If I indeed found something, I wasn't going to let Jim know about it."You'll be caught, Ash. No way I'm leaving you behind." He crossed his arms under his chest stubbornly."For someone who hated me, you do care." I smirked at his decision not to leave me behind.Maybe he wasn't a loser after all.He mumbled something under his breath that sounded like, "I never said I hated you, alright?""I'll be right behind you, Landon." I repeated.I needed him to leave now so I could check the building.He still hesitated."I mean this, Landon, I'll be right behind you. I won't tell your friends anything about our deal and I'm not going to back out, I assure you."Maybe the reason he didn't want to leave me behind was because he didn't want the training to stop or he was afraid that if I got caught,
Writer's POVMicah had returned to the facility Janel was being treated in.She waited for a while before he finally regained consciousness.He might be a highly ranked psychic user like her but he healed differently from her."Took you long enough." She walked into his recovery room.He grinned when he saw her.She never visited him except he had gotten injured during a mission yet, here she was."Seeing you here makes me want to believe you might have found a new interest in me." He greeted back, sitting up.She leaned on the door frame for a while before deciding to walk in."Don't believe it, Janel. That's just your own mind playing tricks on you. That's rather disappointing of a psychic user to be played by his own mind. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." She sat in front of him.This had always been their way of conversing."Why are you here?" Janel asked Micah after they had teased each other for a while."You know why I'm here, Janel." She got pissed at his pretense o
The large space that turned out to be the secret room, surpassed my expectation.There were two beds on either side of the room with something attached to both beds, linking them.There were big screens around the room just like the one that scanned me.The room was dirty with cob webs hanging around to show the room had not been in use for a long period.Tiny insects crawled around the room.They didn't look like ants or cockroaches. I didn't expect to see any of those in another Universe anyway."Crazy." I breathed, walking further into the room.By the side of one of the beds, there was a metallic box.I walked straight to it."Zenin." I read out loud.It was labelled.Zenin must have been the owner of this bed and everything in this box must belong to him.The Principal had discussed some experiment with my parents.This must have been the place the Principal tested my mother's prototype on Zenin.Why would he do such a thing?She was a Q-grade Special while he was a C-grade.The
Writer's POVThe image of the boy Micah had seen, stuck to her head.Even as she walked out of the room, she couldn't stop thinking about him.Every image of him had been taken out of the academy.If she hadn't looked closely, she would have never seen his face in that picture.The Principal definitely forgot to take that one out.He couldn't risk anyone finding out about Zenin, especially the ones whose memory of the boy, he had wiped out.Micah knew she couldn't confront the Principal on who the boy was.If he had decided to hide the identity of the boy then he wouldn't want anyone finding out what he had hidden.So, going to him was not a good idea.Micah eventually decided to go to Magda.She didn't trust Langrid as much as she didn't trust the Principal and Janel would never agree to do anything the Principal wasn't pleased with.With the picture she had seen, Micah began to reconsider the true true purpose of the academy.As expected, Micah met Magda preparing for her next missi
I looked around the room, wondering where I was."What is this place?" The space was dark and cold.Dark clouds obstructed my vision.I continued to walk further into the space with the hope that I might find something or someone; anything or anyone at all.Eventually, the clouds dissipated and I could clearly see the room now.It was exactly the same as the secret room I had found in the building.When I saw people around the beds, I rushed further into that side of the room.While my mother laid on one bed; the one that I had assumed to be hers, some boy not so much older than me, laid on the other one.He must be Zenin.I recall seeing him somewhere but I couldn't remember exactly where I had seen him.He felt so familiar."Ava, you don't have to do this if you do not wish to do it." My father held one of my mother's hands, sitting by the side of her bed.Her tummy wasn't protruded so she must not have been pregnant with me by this time."I have to, Liam. Ordinary humans are becomi
I was thrown out of the memory back to reality.When I woke up, I panted heavily, trying to take in everything I had seen.I had gotten to see Zenin's face so all I needed to do, was look for his picture to confirm that these memories were actually real.The Principal had taken us to the memory room using his portal so I couldn't even tell where that was in the academy.If only I could get there, I would definitely be able yo find a picture of Zenin.For the first time since I got into the academy, someone knocked on my door.At first, I thought I was hallucinating but with every second that came with more knocks, I realized that someone was really knocking on my door.When I opened up, I found Magda at the door, much to my surprise."Magda?" I was confused.She didn't have a reason to be here. Yet, here she was.Had Micah probably told her what had happened?"Training?" She leaned on the doorframe, raising one of her brows."Right now?"I would never pass up a good chance to get stro
I hit my back hard against the wall and fell to the ground on my face.Groaning, I tried to rise to my feet but I didn't get to do that.The wind pushed me against the wall again and pinned me there.Even though my ear drums had burst, I still bled profusely through my ears.I thought of how to get around her scream and take her down.Obviously, there was no way else I could defeat her except from behind.I thought of all the abilities I had been able to use until now; super speed, fire abilities and healing abilities.None of them were going to be useful in this situation.I can't run through her screams nor can I burn my way through it.Wind helped fire and her scream too.If I used my fire ability now, I was definitely going to set the hall on fire.If only I could teleport or create portals, I would definitely be able to get behind her fast enough to knock her out.I didn't have my mother's prototype. If I did, I would already have been able to use all the abilities of every Speci
