Academy for Specials; The Ash Legacy CHAPTER 74
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

A while later, we were still green fists against red fists.I was throwing back half as much punches as he was.Whenever he threw a punch, I didn't dodge it, I merely blocked it with my green flame.If there was anything I have achieved during our short fight, it was that I had learned to use green flames for both attacking and defending.I wiped off the beads of sweat from my forehead.It came at me with an unmistakable whirl speed but I was faster thanks to my speed abilities.I caught it hand midair and punched it hard in the gut.It bent over in….. wait…was that pain?Well, whatever made it bend over like that didn't last for long because soon, it attacked me with its other fist.I imagined a shield and burning red flames wove into a shield to protect my face from getting burned.I pushed it when I could, creating distance between us.I didn't just want to keep fighting, I needed a way to end this damn fight once and for all without giving up.I refuse to give up this time, not wh

I sat on my bed, his words repeatedly replaying in my head.What was possibly going to happen if I bled out?Why had he even thought such an advice so important that he went as far as bringing me to his Universe to tell me about?FLASHBACK"What?" I took a step backward."Whatever you do, Kastian, however you fight, do not bleed to the ground." He sounded harsher but only out of desperation."I will be fighting against a Special in a high rank, I am not ranked and since he challenged me to the fight, he definitely already knows he has a higher chance of winning than I do. In case you do not understand what's about to happen, I'll gladly explain. I'm getting into a physical combat with Ivan who has absolute control over his abilities; unlike me. As far as I can tell, I am going to bleed and I am going to bleed a lot."He grabbed me in the twinkling of an eye, "It's difficult to explain, Kastian but you have to keep your blood all to yourself. You have no idea how important this is.""N

Kastian's POVI stepped out into the hallway, expecting to see Landon waiting for me as always but he wasn't there.Was he probably still in class?Someone from his friend group, luckily for me, walked into the hallway.He seemed in a hurry but nevertheless, I stopped him."Hey." He jumped back in fear when I approached him."I just wanted to ask about Landon." I put my hand up at once, startled that I had startled him."Oh, Land." He sighed, placing his hands on his knees like he's been running for too long.I guess everyone called him Land.There was a temporary look of fear in his eyes but before he blinked it away, I saw it."Did something happen?" I asked him but he shook his head almost immediately."Hey," I tried to reach out to him but he took several steps backward, with a suspicious look in his eyes.What could have possibly happened to Landon?Slowly, he took the same steps back to me; closer to me.He considered me for a while before speaking."He went up against a B-grade

"Are you okay?" Landon asked me for the umpteenth time.I nodded, averting my vision from the ground, to Landon."How did your challenge go?" I asked him, in order to change the topic.I didn't want to have him asking questions I wouldn't be able to answer.As expected, he got distracted.Landon smiled brightly, flexing his muscles, "Took down my opponents with the few moves you taught me. They didn't see the moves coming so it knocked them right out of consciousness. Learning to fight on so much sand did help me get even better with fighting on the floor."He finally learned the moves."Good. We will be proceeding."As I said those words, Landon took a stance, creating a distance between us and curling his hands, ready to attack."Before we begin…."Ivan knew Landon and I sparred regularly. He must have been watching. For the first time, I felt relieved my abilities were still unknown to anyone but Micah, Magda and Aki.If I had used them to spar with Landon, he would have definitel

"If you really do not want to do this, I'm honestly not going to try to compel you to." I wasn't expecting him to decide to help me even after getting to know that Ivan was hot on our tail so, I was half expecting him to decide to back out now."I said I was going to help so I'm helping." He answered in a tone of finality but it was still a little weird to know he was helping because he wanted to."Thank you." I have been using those two words more than I ever did on Earth, in Lath."Thank me when we're out." He glanced at me and offered a smile."What do they see now?" I asked him where we passed by a group of Specials who didn't bother to spare either of us a glance, much to my surprise.They would never not stop to look at me for being the weakest.Moreover, I was pretty sure Landon had managed to earn an even bigger reputation by taking down every one of his opponents today during challenge, like he had said.I knew he was making them see what wasn't real."Nothing." He answered,

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
