Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 28
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 29
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 30
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 33
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 34
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 35
Immediately, the Principal disapproved of Ivan's decision."That's not going to happen, Ivan." He sounded very pissed.I could tell that he wanted to keep me around for his experiment."The kid says he's useful now," Ivan mocked me."The only way I would believe he is as useful as he claims to be is if he can defeat me in a fight." He crossed his arms under his chest, grinning."I almost killed you once Ivan. If there's anyone that should be laughing right now, it definitely shouldn't be you." I hissed.After he had embarrassed me before the class the other day, he had disappeared.The fact that he was only showing up now meant he definitely had something up his sleeves.He snickered, walking up to me."Well, Kastian, I'm still alive, aren't I?" He brushed his fingers on my shoulders.I never had the chance to look at him from up close after what I had done to him.A good part of his face had burned, even beyond the capacity of the Specials that were healers."You proved your presence

CHAPTER 104
After what felt like a few days, I had gone through the rest of the videos on the flashdrive, taking mental note of the few strategies my parents taught me when fighting using physical and Special abilities. By the time I had successfully gone through the entire flash drive, the laboratory had run out of food. I had already covered the entire books in the laboratory but I was yet to start training with the dummies or even my Special abilities. I didn't know if I was going to get new abilities or if I did, what they were going to be. I went to the training ground to train with the dummies. It was just like fighting Aki, Langrid or Landon except, the dummies already had their moves programmed. Turning them on, I took my stance, ready to train. There was no one to access my progress except the screen which I now understand was the seal created but my parents to protect me. One of the funniest came on and before it attacked me, I quickly attacked it just like my father had explaine
CHAPTER 103
I continued screaming as I kept falling from what I now realize was a building and not a cliff.The mayor had just commissioned the building project before the day of my examination.Just how long had I been away from Earth for the building to have been completed so fast? Do not fall."What the hell?! I'm falling already!" I screamed at the screen as I continued to fall.No one could see me nor hear me so no one was coming to save me.No one would know when I fell and if I died which I knew I would, falling from such a height."Breathe, Kastian. Just breathe." I closed my eyes and tried to block out the fear.Aki had said that I could create absolutely anything with flames.If I could create a flame version of myself then creating something to save myself shouldn't be difficult."As long as you can think it, you can make it, Kastian." I repeated those words a few more times until I felt heat on my fingertips.I imagined a parachute made of flames and immediately something pulled me
CHAPTER 102
Eager to know what deal my mother had made with the Principal, I clicked on the next video.It was still just my mother in the next video."Hi, Kastian. Knowing how curious children are, I know you must have eagerly clicked on the next video. You know, sometimes, I doubt that you would be the one to find this place and the flash drive but I believe you will be strong enough to find it all." She smiled.I was tempted to skip the other parts of the video until I found the part where she spoke about the deal she must have made with the Principal but I didn't.Every detail was important and I didn't want to miss it."Callin wanted control." Finally!"From the moment I saw him on Earth when I saved him, I knew he was going to develop an obsession with control. It was a good thing he wasn't strong enough to to on missions.""When the disease broke out, it went on for a while until he said he could help. Desperate, I took his help. As much as I wanted you to understand how bad it was, I neve
CHAPTER 101
Writer's POVAs Landon stabbed Ivan with the needle, his eyes went wide open."Get away from him." Callin whispered, watching how Ivan arched his back and moved his body in the creepiest way.Landon was terrified and in shock to even move an inch."Get the hell away from him!" Callin screamed and Landon quickly moved away, shaping out of the shock."What is happening?" Landon asked Callin.The portals had closed and the knives had stopped flying at the Principal.He could barely stand with knives all over his body."I don't know." Callin was confused.When he had worked on Zenin, nothing of this sort happened."What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Landon screamed at the principal, watching how Ivan's body kept bending in the weirdest angles."I've never worked on anything like this before. It's….. it's…. It's insane." He stuttered."You've worked on something like this before? With who?" Landon was beginning to understand why Kastian always asked him questions that made him doubt
CHAPTER 100
Writer's POVLangrid rushed back into Kastian's room, looking all ruffled up."What's it like out there?" Landon asked Langrid, curious.It sounded like real chaos from inside Kastian's room, he dreaded stepping out."You're about to find out." Was Langrid's only answer as he handed out their communication materials to each of them."So," he was interrupted by a loud bang outside Kastian's room.He only spared the door a glance before speeding up with his explanation."There have been changes of plans. We are canceling out Aki destroying the laboratory and my part to find out what Callin knows. What's out there is probably going to destroy the entire school. What we feared the most has come for us, we don't not need anything else that Callin knows." He rushed his words.Aki took the ear plugs from Landon to help him with it.The latter struggled with it as fear ate deep into his bones.Over the length of time he had been in the academy, they had been made to believe that no one could
CHAPTER 99
Writer's POV"That was a strange plan, Langrid. It could have fucked us up." Aki didn't believe the plan was going to work.Nothing he believed seemed to work these days; from letting Magda go on that mission believing she was going to come back, to believing Kastian was actually going to win his fight with Ivan, free and fair."Yet, here we are with knowledge no other Special knows." Landon was still a nervous wreck."You look like shit." Everyone could clearly see Landon shaking yet, Aki purposely pointed it out."Leave the kid, Aki, would you?" Micah rolled her eyes."So, where do we go from here, Langrid? We have enough knowledge really worth having our memories wiped out this time." Micah turned to Langrid."The real transfer of the prototype into Ivan's body has not begun. It's only been tested on him to check if he can survive having such powerful prototype in his body. The Principal is not going to return to Ivan until the next two days or tomorrow, if he's curious to know how
CHAPTER 98
FLASHBACK"I'll keep Kastian's friend at bay. He might cause some trouble if he's left unwatched."Friendship.That was the only possible relationship between Kastian and Landon that Micah, Aki and Langrid believed caused Landon to react the way that he did over Kastian's death."We'll meet here tomorrow and share information. It's not about us this time or just the people close to us that have been affected but about the whole of humanity. This is us truly being heroes.""Keep me at bay?" Landon scoffed, joining them."Shit!" Langrid cussed."I didn't cover us with Stealth.""How did you get away from your friends?" Micah asked, stepping closer to Landon."D-grade Special illusion user." Landon straighted his shoulder and stood proudly."Although, I'm pretty sure the ranking system made a horrible mistake leaving me in the D-grade." He muttered but loud enough for them to hear."You cannot be here, kid. You should leave." Aki told Jim off and Landon huffed."You think you're the only
CHAPTER 97
Writer's POV"If we let him walk out of here, other Specials are going to find out his memory has been wiped and by other Specials, I mean Micah. We don't know for sure what he has told them." Ivan never took his hands off Langrid's head as he spoke."We'll keep him with us. Now that he doesn't remember anything about them, he's going to help us with the experiment." The Principal opened a portal and nodded at Ivan.The latter didn't take his hands off Langrid's head immediately.He still doubted that it was a good thing leaving Langrid alive."Let him go, Ivan. If I say he's going to help us then he will." The Principal instructed Ivan sternly.He still hesitated but eventually took his hands off Langrid.Once he was free, he looked back and forth at the Principal and Ivan."Why are you both staring so weirdly?" He frowned, moving closer to the portal."You declined joining us for the experiment on me." Ivan decided to test if they could really go on without killing Langrid."Stop foo
CHAPTER 96
I clicked on the next video but it was just my mother in this one."Hi Kastian. It's day three of the Ash Experiment. Your father is monitoring the process of the seal. If it isn't successful then my internal organs will show signs of irritation. While he's at it, I decided to tell you everything about the first mission of the academy and how that changed the academy.""Together with the psychic users, we discovered that a planet called Karile held dangerous energy. Your father was a bit skeptical about the whole plan to go to Karile and check it out."She smiled and looked sideways like she was avoiding getting caught saying the words she was about to say, "To be honest, soldier, I was equally terrified."She straightened her back, "But of course, I hid it from your father. I couldn't let him see my doubt if I wanted him to get out of his own doubt and trust my plan.""I couldn't blame him since I was scared too. Just because we survived on Lath didn't mean we could survive on other
