Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 62
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 63
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 66
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
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 67
As Landon and I made our way through the facility, I waited for it but it never came.I opened my mind, ready to feel the cold, dark energy but it never came.I waited and waited, then waited a lot more but it never came."Are you okay?" Landon's voice snapped me back to reality."Yeah." I nodded but the look on his face showed that he didn't believe me."Just eager to meet Ascher.""You remember his name?" Landon tilted his head and stared at me like I was something interesting.I inwardly sighed, glad he didn't ask any more questions I didn't need him to ask."You mentioned it more than once already." We make our way past a huge gym with Specials training in it.They must be training their physical abilities."I did." He looked away from me.We reached a small room.I wonder what could be behind those small doors.Maybe it was just an aftermath of my daily routines but I felt big; too big, before the door."This is the library for water elementals. The academy has many libraries wit
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 68
Ascher catches his breath before he begins.Not like he needed to anyway.Just before he started, the screen appeared, Daily routine updated.Now was not the time so I simply ignored it and focused on Ascher.It remained in my face but I looked past it to stare at Ascher's face.Or at least I tried to look past it.Landon and Ascher must be staring at me thinking I was staring at Ascher when actually, the damn screen was blocking my view.Daily routine updated!Daily routine updated!The tabs kept popping up but I still paid it no attention.Sensing that I was going to keep my attention, it disappeared and I could clearly see Ascher afterward."Not being ranked means I don't get training and classes lavished on me." I didn't give a care in the world if he saw me as desperate.I needed to know everything he knew."Ivan is a sly wretch. There is absolutely nothing he wouldn't do to win a fight."Landon took a moment to roll his eyes, "I shouldn't but I pity all he's had to figh
Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 69
"Kastian?" Landon shook my hand and I blinked, returning to reality."Hmm?" I looked around the library, hoping no one else saw me zone out like that.When I was satisfied it was just Ascher and Landon staring at me weirdly, I turned to Ascher, "You were saying?""I believe there would be so much more to study about the elemental ability if there was any Special with it. Personally, I believe that Special would have been able to take the academy back to the way it used to be where Ava and Liam governed it." There was an unmistakable sadness in his voice and on his face but when he quickly masked it with indifference, I swallowed the question I was going to ask."The blood elemental ability would have been the strongest of all six elemental abilities, established. How would you place the rest in terms of power?" Landon asked, surprisingly more interested in the conversation than I thought he would be."That's quite simple. Blood, Earth, Light, Wind, then Water and Flames on the same l

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
