Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 37
By the time I returned to my dormitory, Micah and Magda were standing outside.From the look on their faces, I could tell that they already heard of my deal with Ivan."I don't know what you think you're doing Kastian but you have to call off the deal you made with Ivan." Micah demanded.I have never seen her look so troubled."It's a little too late for that now, Micah."I wasn't going to back out if Ivan wasn't going to.Magda stepped forward, "Ivan is a beast during missions, Kastian. His physical abilities surpass mine. I don't think you're making the right choice making this deal with him."It didn't matter what Ivan was, I was definitely going to win against him."I got stronger in just a few days of training. I can get stronger before the next fifteen days. Trust me, I'm going to win against him." I needed someone; anyone, to have enough faith in me."Kastian, "Magda placed one hand on my shoulder."You do not know the rules of the fight nor do you know what Ivan is planning. H
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 38
Instead of appearing in his Universe, I found myself in another memory.Zenin and my mother were on their beds while the Principal stood in-between them.My father was nowhere to be found."It's tested and trusted, Ava." He said to my mother as he linked the tiny wire in her wrist, to Zenin's.He looked terrified but at the same time, eager to see what would happen next."Are you sure you want to go on with this, Zenin. You might not survive it, you know?" My mother asked a terrified Zenin who nodded."Since we are all on the same page, we would now begin." He stretched out his hand and golden flecks gathered around my mother's wrists.Slowly, he controlled the golden flecks in her wrist, through the tiny wire and into Zenin's wrists.The boy shut his eyes, trying to endure the pain.When he could no longer take it anymore, he screamed out in pain.My mother didn't look like she was in pain.Zenin kept screaming and the Principal kept doing whatever he was doing to put my mother's pr

The memory washed away and I was back in his Universe in no time."Do you ever have any idea what happens in the academy?" I asked him."I do." He answered.Right, he did. Which meant he knew of my fight with Kastian.The screen appeared. Fourteen days left to fight with Special Ivan.It was already a new day in Lath.I had just fourteen days more to get strong enough to defeat Ivan and go on missions or return to Earth and be a much worse loser than I was."Then you just know of my fight with Ivan." "I know. I'll help you become strong enough to defeat him." He assured me.I needed all the leveling up I could get."Do you have anything against Ivan too?" He sounded really determined to help me defeat Ivan. "It's not just Ivan I hold grudges against. It's the entire damn academy.""Why?" I asked even though I knew he was likely to say nothing useful."That's not the reason you're here, are you, Kastian. Even if that might be, that's not the reason your prototype brought you her
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 40
I fell on my knees, watching the screen unbelievably.Blood bending ability?What on earth did that even mean?"Congratulations, Kastian. You have yet unlocked another ability no Special has ever had. If you keep going at this rate, you would definitely outlive Ava and Liam." He said in-between gasps.I noticed that just like me, his blood crawled back into his body before his injuries closed.He had mentioned something about having something similar to my prototype.He must have been telling the truth."Blood bending." I read the word again."What can I do with this ability?" I asked him.It sounded really powerful so definitely, creating arrows with my blood wasn't the only thing it could help me do.I watched as his outline stood up.He wasn't large but he wasn't tiny, either.He was only a little less large than Ivan but definitely much taller.I badly wanted to see what his whole body looked like."Like I said, Kastian. There is no Special in history that has ever gotten blood be
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 41
I walked over to Magda, stretching out my hand to her.The blood retracted from where it had pierced her, the fire burning off when it floated back into my body.I kneeled down beside her and placed both of my hands on either side of her face.A warm blue glow emanated from beneath my wrist.Her eyes went wide open as she coughed, jerking up.Her eyes never left me for once as she stared at me in disbelief.Micah joined her soon.Neither of them said anything as they only stared at me."How did you do that?" Micah asked.She seemed surprised but at the same time, not surprised.It was like she knew of the ability."Your prototype gives you blood bending abilities." She said in almost a whisper.So she does know of the ability?"How do you know about it?" I asked her.He had said that I was the first Special to ever have such abilities."In my clan in Tokyo, there are myths about heroes of the future. Even as a kid, I was always told of the myths of humans who possessed abilities that
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 42
Writer's POVMicah and Magda just walked in silence as they left the young Ash behind."Do you believe me now?" Micah asked Magda triumphantly.She had finally proven to her that the young Ash was going to be their hero at the end of the day."Hopefully, Ivan doesn't kill him before he saves us all from what's coming." Magda answered."His prototype worries me, Micah. He comes at unexpected times." Magda expressed her worry."He's gained control over it." "We can't be so sure, Micah. What if it fails him during his fight with Ivan? Nobody knows what the bastard is planning. I do not wish to risk Kastian getting hurt." Magda panicked.Micah reasoned with her before an amused smile spread across her lips."I only care for him as a hero would care for a friend." Magda defended herself before Micah teased her."Let's just pretend that's the situation. Just so you know, we are going to talk about your sudden overprotective care over Kastian.""We are not talking about anything, Magda. I o

Writer's POVThe B-grade team prepared as the day of their mission had finally come.Magda, as team leader, gave out instructions to her team."So what's the plan, leader?" The B-grade portal user asked Magda after she had gone over the threat of the mission.They were going to the planet closest to Earth.The psychic users of the academy had detected an energy quite similar to a deadly energy they had detected in Earth on the last mission.The Principal thought that it wasn't a coincidence and this energy might lead them to whatever was taking Specials from Earth.The academy had never had any reason to go to planet Trion.They only ever went on missions to places that might pose a threat to ordinary humans.This was the first time Trion was ever posing as a threat to Earth."We don't know for sure what exactly is emitting that energy in Trion. The fact that the psychic users had felt that same energy from Earth meant the owner of that energy could travel between Trion and Earth as h
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 44
Writer's POVOn the other side of the portal was Trion; a planet with nothing but rocks and hills.Josiah quickly caught Anna before she fell on one of the rocks."Thank you." She blushed, looking away shyly when he released her."Let's focus on the mission, guys." Magda moved in front of her team, scanning the area before giving her commands.When she concluded that there was no danger in sight, she put her hand up and gestured with her fingers for them to move forward."Now, Anna." She said to the psychic user on the team.The tall Lady nodded before closing her eyes.With her mind, she tried to search for the energy the other psychic users had spoken of."Dark and cold, so empty, it could leave your mind hollow." That was how they had described it.Anna searched but she couldn't detect anything dark, cold nor both.As a matter of fact, she couldn't detect any mind energy at all.It was as though the team were the only living on the planet."What did you find?" Magda asked Anna."Th

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
