"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

The tab for the update didn't open until I got into my room. Daily routine update; sparring.I frowned at what the screen displayed.I already sparred with Langrid, Aki and Landon. That was how I trained to get stronger.Who else could I possibly sparr with?I clicked on sparring Sparring with replicas.Replicas.I was pretty sure it was referring to creations of me in flames or blood.Aki had created replicas of himself so I was sure that was what I needed to do.Replicas was highlighted so I clicked on it, Flame replicas, Blood replicas.Flame replicas came first so I had to begin with flame replicas which I could understand why.BlBlood was the strongest Elemental ability, if Ascher was right, which I for one, think he is then I should learn to spar with flame replicas before blood replicas.I clicked on flame replicas and a burning sensation sizzled in my fingers.When I felt heat scald my back, I moved away only to see that I had created one flame replica.I l

Writer's POVA brunette hid in the bathroom for fear of what she had done.She didn't mean to but she had almost drowned her best friend in the bathroom after gym class.Biting her fingers was the only thing the poor girl could do until she was certain that her best friend would live."You didn't do it." She said to herself, staring back at her reflection in the mirror.She had bitten her fingers so hard and so deeply, she now chewed down on her flesh.Her face was white from fear and her mascara was nothing but a disaster around her eyes."No!" She suddenly pointed at her reflection while wiping away her tears with her free hand."The shower was on, someone had left it on. You have absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Marvy. It was an accident and you were just unfortunate to be there."She almost believed her words until she broke down in tears, falling on her knees in the bathroom.She didn't want to believe it but somewhere deep in her heart, she knew what she had done.

I still felt like I was carrying the weight of the entire universe when I found myself in his Universe.I couldn't see his outline anywhere or perhaps I was too tired to see it.I remained still on the ground until I completely healed.Even after complete healing, I still staggered to my feet.I guess no amount of Special healing could beat a good sleep."You have only four days left." It wasn't someone else said it that I realized how unnerving it sounded.In the next four days, I would either leave the academy or begin to go on missions.No!I couldn't possibly leave the academy.I was going to decide my fate this time around and I have decided to remain in the academy at all costs."I have a daily routine update. I combat replicas of myself created using my elemental abilities but my prototype takes control." I explained to him.I still hadn't gotten the hang of fighting against my prototype and I had a feeling he could teach me all I needed to know about it.My prototype was the u

Landon just stares at me for a while before he laughs."It wasn't a joke, Landon. I'm requesting that you break into the flame elemental facility." Why would he take this as a joke?"There's no way I'm doing that, Kastian. You have no idea what I risked to get you into the facility the other day. Another Special who wasn't under the influence of my illusion might have come and we would have been jinxed, you especially. Worse? The Principal could have come." He's no longer laughing.There is nothing but pure anger in his eyes as he speaks."If he had nothing to hide, he shouldn't be concerned that we snuck into the facility." I blurt out the words just before I'm able to stop myself.The angry expression on Landon's face changes into suspicion."The Principal doesn't have to hide anything. The rule does not let any Special be there unnecessarily. It's where injured Specials receive healing after returning from missions." The look on his face does not match the tone of his voice.He loo

Writer's POVLangrid, Aki and Micah meet up, not to train Kastian this time but for something else.Micah already knows a little about the subject of their discussion while Langrid knows all about it.At the moment, it is Aki who is in the dark.Complete darkness."You are no longer Callin's shadow. He's going to suspect that something's off about you and then monitor you. You are not safe being in this meeting with us." Aki still wasn't comfortable around Langrid.In truth, none of them were exactly comfortable around him."I have this entire area invincible." He gestured to the four walls of the tiny classroom."Even if any Special comes in and stands so close to us, he's not going to be able to see us. The only person my Stealth doesn't completely work on is Kastian who will not find us here. The kid doesn't know any other place in the academy but his dormitory, training grounds, the healing facility and the Principal's office."Micah and Aki share a look, questioning each other if

Writer's POVAfter they had successfully brought Nancy to the academy, Ivan returns to the Principal's office to give his report."What are those?" Ivan asks as he makes his way into Callin's office.The Principal lazily takes his eyes off the paper he's writing on and brings his attention to the stack of folders Ivan is pointing at."Research for a certain Special who wouldn't give away how he's supposed to win a fight without exactly fighting to the one Special who is unfortunately interested in helping him." Sarcasm drips from Callin's tone but it doesn't bother Ivan."You do not need to know, trust me." Ivan takes a seat."I understand that you are skeptical about my plan–"Before Ivan is able to speak further, Callin cuts him short, "If you think you understand that plan of yours that I have no idea of then I assure you that you are very wrong. You have no understanding of my skepticism."Ivan considers the Principal for a while.Whenever they went on missions, they always talked

Beginner's guide on flame elemental ability, E-grade Special edition, D-grade Special edition, C-grade Special edition.I stared at all of them, sprawled out on my bed.I had very limited time to feed them all.Picking up the Beginner's guide, I flipped open the first page."Ava Ash and Sabrina Jonas." My mother had co-authored the book with another Q-grade Special.It seems as though there was no book my mother didn't have a hand in, in the entirety of the academy.Smiling in pride, I began to read."Flame elemental ability is one of the first Special abilities to be discovered. It could be combined with different other elemental abilities during missions but a proper understanding of this ability could make its user stronger than he could ever imagine."I was damn sure my mother had written this preface herself. It was just so -----her."Before you can learn to use your flames, you must learn to calm your mind, your thoughts and your emotions. Without control over all of these, your

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
