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
"I see you have gained a reasonable amount of control over your abilities."I was back in his Universe."I have." I responded, smiling, knowing that he could see me."There are no specific tasks to carry out in the second level."The screen never appeared until Magda decided what to train me on the last time.It only appeared to show me the time I had left to defeat Magda.I leveled up after that."I do not control what appears on your screen, Kastian. That's your prototype training you on how to use it."The more time I spent as a Special with Chorazin prototype, the more I realized that I knew lesser of my prototype that I thought I did."Unlike other Specials who have defined abilities like ability to use illusions, psychic abilities, superspeeed abilities, fire abilities and so on, you don't have a definite ability. Your prototype makes you limitless. You can do absolutely anything, Kastian. You can rule the academy, take over Earth and Lath."I felt him move around me."You see t
Writer's POVMagda followed Micah as she led her to the memory room.Somewhere in her heart, she hoped that Micah would be wrong and she had only imagined what she thought she saw.But then, Micah had a strong mind, she couldn't be deceived by her imaginations.Once they were sure that there was no one in sight, they quickly walked into the memory room.Any Special who wished to be there, was allowed into the memory room at any time.But after Micah began to suspect the Principal, she became wary of where she went in the academy."Where is it?" Magda asked Micah impatiently.The latter led her to a huge frame; the exact one that she had seen.Luckily, the Principal hadn't gotten hold of it and discarded it.In the frame, was a picture of Callin with Ava and Liam Ash.The fourth person in it didn't look like it had been planned for him to be in the picture.While the Principal stood in the middle of the academy's greatest Specials and held them, just the boy's face came into the picture
Writer's POVWhen the Principal had confirmed that there was nothing else about Zenin in the memory room, he left with Langrid, discussing who he was going to transfer Kastian's prototype to.Micah and Magda came out of their hiding place once they were sure that the Principal had left."He knows him." Micah muttered while Magda just nodded."Do you still think you should dig into Janel's head?" Magda asked Micah.Micah was sure she wouldn't be able to dig into the Principal's head even if she wanted to.She thought about digging into Langrid's. He was always with the Principal so it would be difficult for her to dig into his head.But then, if there was anyone who could provide her with the answers that she needed, it was definitely Langrid."Langrid should do. As a matter of fact, he would do better than Janel would."************************************************The Principal returned to his office with Langrid."Ivan would be a good choice."Langrid frowned in disagreement."Yo
