Ten days left until fight with Special Ivan.Ten days, that was all I had left.I had practically dragged myself back to my dormitory after fighting with Aki.He was strong. Magda wasn't exaggerating when she had stated that her brother had more strength than speed.His strength made a joke of my speed."Strength wasn't always everything." Those had been Magda's words.Right now, I might just disagree with her.I had managed to unlock the rest of the segments.The screen didn't bring up any other training plan or levels.All it did was remind me of my exercise routine.I rushed a quick shower and changed into a different suit.When Langrid had found out that I exercised, he had advised me to exercise on the training ground to get more acquainted with the environment.Currently, I was running lapses on the sandy ground.I didn't fall as easily as I did before.Since I had built my speed, I could take my feet off the ground before they sank deeply into the sand.I could say that
Langrid, Aki, Magda and I sat as they explained everything about abilities to me."Prototypes were the first to ever exist. The first Specials to ever exist, including your parents, all had prototypes. However, your father was an exception." Langrid led the explanation."He had no prototype yet, his immense strength earned him a place in the academy. Together, they built this academy and started studying their prototypes. Prototypes are made up of elemental abilities that create Finctus abilities. Finctus abilities would never exist without elemental abilities in the first place.""Initially, the academy had just four Specials including your parents. They were convinced that there were more out there that was just like them. Each Special they found, equally had prototypes. After ten Specials existed, the other Specials to exist had one elemental ability or the other.""What were the different prototypes all of the academy's first ten Specials had?" I asked him.Now, I could understand
After my second routine which just consisted of the exercises in my first routine, I returned to my dormitory.After a long shower, I climbed my bed and waited for the midst to take me.As I waited, I thought of the midst.What if the midst was the wind elemental ability?The midst would most likely consist of wind and not water plus it came from my prototype so this was definitely a good explanation.When I opened my eyes, the midst had brought me to his Universe.The air here was a little frosty, as I breathed in, I could feel the wetness of the air in my nostrils.How come I had never noticed this?"I see that you are beginning to take your father's form." I heard his voice and saw his outline walk toward me."You knew my father." It was more of a statement than a question.Anyone that knew the academy, definitely knew my parents."He was a large man which should have been intimidating but he gave off a really kind aura." I imagined him smiling as he said those words.He honestly w
I felt like a hundred pound weighing person had been dropped on my body when the midst brought me back to my dormitory.Tiredly, I dragged myself to the bathroom.I looked like shit.There were purple lines under my eyes and the skin there looked like it was beginning to sag.Just that little display of power yet, I looked this bad.The blue glow appeared in my veins and all the bruises healed.I went back to looking normal once again.He said he had a problem with staying in my head just like he pleased but he didn't look like he was having a problem at all.I would have never believed his words if I didn't know myself.Whenever I felt like I could breathe again, he had momentarily and unintentionally left my head but when it felt like air was being sucked out of my lungs, he was back in my head.My prototype was so strong yet, it couldn't withstands his power.I wondered what prototype he had.Langrid had said that there was no prototype stronger than Chorazin yet, I always got my a
They all waited as I arrived."I want to do something differently." I said upon my arrival.They all nodded at me to state what I wanted."I want Micah to train my mind."She might have told me that I had a strong mind but after my fight with him, I only realized that I was much, much far from having a strong mind.He had easily filled the space in my mind with his darkness and spread his eerie cold all through my body's.It felt like dying while being tortured but still living.I didn't want to ever have such experience ever again."You already have a strong mind, Kastian. Moreover, I can't train your mind without first getting into your head so much that you would have to learn to stop me from doing it." She had a suspicion look on her face.She was definitely wondering why I suddenly wanted to train my mind when all along, I had been obsessed with training my body and getting incredibly strong, physically."I will allow it."Initially, I hated that Micah's could get into anyone's h
I fell to the ground for the umpteenth time, groaning in pain as blood oozed out of my nose.He was much stronger than he looked.Maybe it was because his Special ability was invincibility but I had underestimated Langrid a great deal.His Speed was on Whirl level, he was almost as strong as Aki and with his assassin Level of Stealth, I never saw his attacks coming.Even when I tried to listen to his footsteps and try to get him through that, I always failed.He moved like a shadow; couldn't be seen, couldn't be heard.While I nurses my broken nose, he undid his Stealth in front of me.He had punched my nose severally, I was damn sure it was merely hanging off my face right now.He never gave me time to heal. While I was still healing, he always attacked me."I'm not going to hold back on you, Kastian." He said.I appreciated his decision not to hold back on me but I pitied myself for the series of beatings I was going to get just from fighting him."I appreciate that, Langrid." I man
My muscles burned with pain; a constant reminder that pain was my gateway to the strength I wanted.When I did the last sit-up, the screen appeared, Daily routine completed! Time for training with Special Landon.I healed as I walked back to my dormitory, Landon was waiting for me.I could tell that he badly wanted to know where I always went to. He must find me really busy for a Special with no class or training schedules."Once again, you were not in the dormitory. Surprise, Surprise" He rolled his eyes as we walked to our training spot.I ignored his statement, "Your friends came looking for me.""What?!" He stopped on his tracks, horror on his face as his skin grew pale."I didn't go against our deal, Landon. You do not have to worry about that." I couldn't help but laugh.His ego was twice his size and he would do literally everything just to make sure it didn't get hurt.He frowned and hissed then started walking ahead of me."What did they want?" He asked a little angri
Landon's eyes both sent black and the ground beneath our feet began to vibrate.Right before my eyes, the sky above us turned a darker shade of blue and by the time I brought my attention back to the ground, the sand was red and soft.I was slowly sinking into them, I caught myself enjoying it.I have never been to a beach before.Landon wasn't even done yet but it was already feeling really relaxing in here.Everything around us changed; the training ground became more vast and a large, seemingly endless vast blue sea appeared by my right, raging.After he was finished, Landon's eyes changed back to their usual colors."Red sand and cold biting sea on a beach, there you have it." He spread his arms toward the sea and shut his eyes.It looked like he was enjoying the feel of his own hallucination.The sea was indeed cold biting.I just wanted to remain here for a really long time and do nothing but relax.For just a tiny moment, I didn't want to care about the academy, Zenin, my mothe
