Days pass by and for the first time since their arrival at the college… things were… peaceful.Due to the fact that the third year curriculum mainly focused on activities which will serve as an opening to when and or if… the fight with the Web is over. So for once in a long time… things felt like an actual normal college… well… as normal as they can be for energy filled super teens.Even though they still had general combat and ability training, no squads in the class were sent on any missions so the students have time to focus on… other things. Levi in particular, other than preparing for the Work program and mastering his new Lightning cloak mode, he also received lessons from B how to assess minds and memories.At first, he was reluctant but B reassured him that he has actually done it twice before… once when he pulled the Cyber-Lock from his sister and saw a memory of her life as a Web agent. The other was in his fight with the Empire’s leader, when he somehow saw a vision with
It’s almost 7 pm and inside one of the biggest security posts in the Southern Tron College, Levi sighs heavily with his head hung low on a long bench in a secured room. “How did it come to this?” Levi mumbled as he looked up from the floor to the other side of the room where Roger, Becca and their gang sit quietly, some covered in bandages while others just stare in fear and shock. Roger makes eye contact with him and instantly looks away as he huddles into himself. “They’re treating us like kind of monsters.” Levi whispered.Alana chuckles softly as she shifts closer to him and whispers back. “Well, we ‘are’ monsters. Adorable monsters.” Levi fails to suppress a smile and shakes his head. “Still. The way you came…you must have been really worried about me.” She whispered into his ear and Levi blushes a little.“I guess.” Levi mumbled.Alana smiles warmly as she leans back before responding. “That’s cute but as you can see… I can take care of myself.” She gestures to some of the stu
A few minutes later, the escort guides them through the equally beautiful restaurant, where several heads turned once they saw Levi and Alana clearly.The guard then shows them up some stairs to the next floor, where they walked past the next set of customer tables but walk through a large pair of doors and into the VIP room.“Whoa.” Alana mumbled as the room which was even more beautiful compared to the other places they’ve been with the few guests there obviously being people of high standards and taste.As the guard shows them to their seat beside one of the windows which displayed a beautiful view of the city, Levi smiles again when he sees the name ‘Blissful Copy’ engraved into the table cloth.“Hey babe, if you would have told me we’re going someplace fancy, I would have chosen something more ‘fit’.” Alana said as she glanced at a woman dressed in a designer dress and expensive
With the work program now around the corner, the third year students of not just the southern branch but the other colleges as well, prepared with eagerness for their respective work programs.And even though Levi was psyched up about his IT program, he also had deep worried thoughts, specifically on the events of his date with Alana some days ago. It’s already dinner time in the third year hostel but Levi stays in his room with the left over meal he kept in the fridge as he packs up for the trip.He groans when he searches his opened backpack for something. “Where did I keep that note?” He mumbled.“Here.” Levi turns to see B who hovers towards him, a familiar green note book floating beside her. She motions the book to fit into his bag.“Huh…Never thought I’d see you help.” Levi chuckled and B scoffed with arms folded.“That’s a weird way to say thank you.” B said and Levi just chuckles as he zips up his newly repaired bag. As B watches Levi head to the closet to pick out clothes,
As the door to Levi’s room slides open, Alana smiles once she sees his face first. “Hey babe.” Alana mumbled as she gives Levi a quick peck on the lips before noticing the others. “I’m guessing I missed the dinner?” She asked, her eyes on the devoured feast and even though some of them laughed, she could still feel the tension in the air. “Did I…walk in on something?” “No. Nothing.” Levi mumbled as he gestured for her to come in just as Jake stands up. “I should go. I still have some council stuff to do before I get some sleep.” Jake said as he picked up his leftovers and Veronica stands up as well. “I’ll help you out.” Veronica said and Jake nods gratefully at her. Then, one by one, the others leave, giving one excuse after another until eventually… only Levi and Alana were left. “Well, that was weird.” Alana chuckled as she heads over to the table and picked up a half touched bowl of rice. She sighs as she takes a bite just as Levi collapsed on the couch. She sets down the bowl
It’s the next day and by 9 am, all third year students were boarding several buses based on their respective classes.Within 30-40 minutes, the buses leave for the airports due to the fact that Work Program is another activity that shows union between the four branches, so every student from the Southern branch must do their program in one of the other three factions.The same goes to the other factions. Within a particular bus, the S and A class chat happily and excitedly about their expectations and thoughts about the program.Towards the front row of seats, Levi furrows his brows as he tries to revise some technology lectures just as the figure beside him groans. “Will you just relax, babe?” Alana said as she pushes his interface aside and presses her body against him. “We’re an hour from the airport. Let’s enjoy it.”“Fine.” Levi chuckled as he removed his interface and wraps an arm around Alana who snuggles closer to him.Felix stretches out from the seat in front of them and s
Levi subconsciously swallows as the powerful tron walks past them to meet Tyler.“Bright and early as usual I see, T-bone.” She said as she stops by the counter with her eyes fixed on Tyler who smiles sheepishly to himself. She then turns her attention to the two boys. “And who are our guests here?”“The interns.” Tyler said as the boys handed their forms over to her. She hums as she quickly skims through it. “Levi and Felix, huh…” They both nod and she sets the forms down on the counter as she addresses them. “Well, it’s good to have you here. I’m the head of this lab. My name is Dr Racheal Andre but I’d prefer if you call me, Chief.”“Okay, chief.” They said simultaneously and Rachel nods as she gestures to Tyler. “I see you’ve already met T-bone.” Rachel said.“I actually have a question about that name.” Levi mumbled and Tyler glared at him.“They don’t need to know.” Tyler grumbled to Racheal who chuckles before answering.“They’re going to be working with us for 4 months, T-bo
It’s an average Monday afternoon over Iwatani Labs and Levi stands up from his seat in Lab 300 as a friendly face approaches. “Nina?” Levi asked.“Long time no see, kid.” She said with a smile as she gives him a warm hug before ruffling his hair with a laugh. “How’ve you been?” Levi chuckles as he re-adjusts his hair. “I’ve been good. What about you? I haven’t seen you in months.”She places a hand on her hip with a smile as she answers. “Miss Balalaika and I have been leading the Empire case these past months.”“You and Miss Balalaika, huh?” Felix mumbled with a cocky smile and Nina rolled her eye at him.“For the last time, that was just a onetime fling. We were drunk.” Nina grumbled. “She didn’t seem to mind.” Felix chuckled and Nina glares at him.“It’s good to see you too, Felix.” Nina mumbled and Felix smirks at her.A sudden laughter gets their attention to Racheal who was still behind her. “So the rumours about you and Northern head were true, huh…” Rachel mumbled.
