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
Writer's POVThe Principal had gone through the folders of several documents he kept on Zenin and Ava's experiment.He hid these folders away from Ava and Liam so they would never find his true goal in doing the experiments.When he had gone through the folders he had kept with him, he only realized how useless they were.He had kept the wrong folders with himself and stored away the really important ones in the room where the experiment was conducted."Shit!" He cussed loudly, dropping the folders.There wasn't so much time left before the fight between Ivan and the young Ash.He wanted everything in place for the experiment before the fight.Callin didn't know what Ivan was up to.He wouldn't say a word to him so Callin didn't want to be taken by surprise.He wanted to be ready when Ivan made his decision on how he was going to defeat the Young Ash without raising a finger.Sighing, he opened a portal to the room where the experiment had been done.Whenever he needed to visit the ro
Once again, I was in his Universe.His outline was right in front of me like he's been waiting for me.Had he been waiting for me?"Waiting for me, I see." I teased him."You have only nine days left." He overlooked my tease and began walking away."I know." I follow behind him.Aki went easy on me until it was time for Langrid to train me.I had managed to shut out Micah, I guess that was something I could do without having her hold back on me.As for Langrid….. I still couldn't even land a proper punch while using my physical ability, especially when he used his damn assassin level of Stealth.And as for him, I couldn't still beat him in a battle using our Special abilities, either."You failed the last time. We are going to be retaking that fight to see if your 'Special friends' have taught you anything useful." He sounded pissed but nothing pissed.Not pissed in a sense that he had always been like this but pissed in a sense that it felt like knowing I had only fewer days before t
It's the fifth day already before my fight with Ivan and a lot has changed.I'm stronger, faster and more stable on the sand.Not so Surprisingly, I'm bigger too; not too big but still big in a way that I never thought was possible.I caught his hand right before it hit me, momentarily enjoying the rush of wind on my face.His hand had healed but I could still see it.Even when he used the assassin level of Stealth, I could see the part of his hand I had stabbed.I push him over but Aki creates a big palm of flames to catch him."Once again, Kastian, you do not do the pushing, he does. All you have to do is avoid getting pushed off the fence." There was a groan in the end of his Speech that made it obvious he was tired of telling me not to push Langrid off the fence."Got it!" I nodded at him as he controlled the palm of flames to bring Langrid back to the fence.The latter goes invincible again once he is back on the fence.Aki had created really tall fences with flames.His aim was
After I healed my burned jaw, Aki's flames didn't hold back on me any longer or rather, Aki did not hold back on me any longer.They were fast; almost faster than Aki.I couldn't touch them or I was going to burn. They shouldn't touch me or I was going to burn.The only thing I could do was hop around and dodge their attacks as fast as possible.As the wielder of the ability, Aki could make his flames burn or save.When he created the palm that saved Langrid when I pushed him off the fence, Aki's flames had saved.But right now, they were all out to burn me. Unlike the cool green flames he used to save Langrid, these ones were a ferocious blood red."You're slacking, Kastian. They are going to catch up pretty quickly and burn you." I caught a smile on his face as he stood from a distance, watching me; watching us.His smile made me feel like he might have always wanted to burn me.I pushed myself to the right and dragged my feet to my sides as fast as possible before they caught on my
