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
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
Writer's POVOnce the young Ash had left, Langrid faced the Principal."I told you he was a wrong choice, didn't I?" Langrid hissed.He was too angry to even notice the satisfied grin on the Principal's face."I told you he was the perfect choice." He responded."What do you mean by that?" Langrid's expression twisted in confusion."Ivan is the perfect choice for the experiment, Langrid. Fifteen days was what it took me to transfer Ava's prototype to Zenin who was a in a lower grade than Ivan. It's not going to take as much as fifteen days to transfer Kastian's prototype to Ivan. He really is the perfect choice." The Principal was content with how things were going his way.After he had transferred the young Ash's prototype to Ivan, he could get rid of him just like he got rid of his mother."Transfer?" Langrid repeated the word like it was foreign to him."You said you were only to make a duplicate of the kid's prototype and offer it to other Specials. You said the vision of the expe
