Kayden had headed over to his room to have some rest in preparation for what was to come tomorrow. However, he couldn't bring himself to stop thinking about what Kayla had told him earlier today, about how there was a major conspiracy taking place at the academy, and how some of the students were involved in it as well. Right now, all he really wanted to do was just do well during the competition.

Entering the room, he saw that both Paul and Shawn were present. The two turned to face him, inviting him into the discussion were having. Since the both of them were stronger than Kayden, they wanted to ensure that there wouldn't be any hard feelings harboured amongst them if one person wins while the others loose. Kayden had no intentions of holding grudges if he didn't end up winning. At the end of the day, the first year students wouldn't be fighting each other in the first place.

The next day, everyone got up early that morning and got ready to head over to the Arena, where the competit

    Leo is a second year student with a charming personality and an easy-going nature. However, underneath his calm and laid-back exterior, was a beast with immense power. He was one of the few in the second year that had a serpent class ability, allowing him to produce and control poison at will. Unlike users such as Madison, he was not only able to produce poison, but he is also able to control poison while it is outside his body, and can even control it while it is inside the body of his opponent, either saving their life, or ending it sooner than expected.He is the Titan five of the second year students, someone who is highly respected amongst his peers for his brilliance and tenacity. Today, everyone was interested in seeing him in action, even though it was against someone who was barely worth his time.Despite hearing the loud cheers the students were shouting at Leo, Steve did his best not to get gazed by it. Even glancing at him, the calm aura around him was just making him more

    Once the signal had been given, the match had begun. The ten-second countdown had begun, and before anyone could even begin to imagine what might happen next, Patricia had suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving nothing behind her. Shawn quickly lept into the air, however, she was quick enough to see this and react on time, leaping into the air as well.Just as she was about to grab hold of him, a smile had appeared on his face, leaving her just as confused as she was before, irritated as well. Just as she was about to grab hold of him, his body had disappeared, and all that she could feel in her hands was the breeze, as her body descended towards the ground. Just as she was about to sprint towards his position, a dinging sound could be heard, signalling the end of the ten-second countdown.'What...?' she was left speechless upon realizing this. She had just been outwitted and outsmarted by a first year student, someone who she was meant to be superior to in every sort of

    Josh had always been someone who enjoyed dominating those who were inferior to himself. It was his way of making himself feel good. However, today, he had just been proven that his brother was the superior son of the Brooke family, as Kan had quickly charged and finished him off before he could even blink, knocking him unconscious in the process.A few officials had stepped into the fighting area to take away his body to receive treatment, as he was in afar worse condition than Steve when Leo had attacked him. At least Steve was able to regain consciousness not long after, but the same couldn't be said for Josh.Later on, and the announcer went on to state the next two students for the next match. Looking around, Kayden noticed that both Paul and Shawn were staring at him. In fact, even Zain was glancing at him from the corner of his eye.Heaving out a sigh, the teenager walked out of the waiting room, and into the fighting arena. His opponent was a student named Andrew Cane. He is a p

    The match between Kayla and Luke had begun, and immediately, Kayla had covered herself to the best of her ability in flames, making them as hot as possible. Her plan was to make herself too hot for the second year student to even think of getting close. However, ignoring the intense heat and the flames, he sprinted towards her, ready to deliver an attack.Seeing this, Kayla had raised her leg just as he was close to her, however, he had quickly changed directions, moving behind her immediately, before delivering a kick of his own against her neck, the force of the attack forcing her off her feet, sending her flying in the air before crashing against the floor. She was still conscious, however, she suddenly felt her head pushed against the floor, the impact crushing her skull, nose, and jaws. She had been knocked unconscious, and before the timer had come to an end.Not long after, and a couple of people had come to take her away. As she had been knocked out, her ability had been cance

    Dylan had done the best he could to win his match, just like how Kayden, Paul, and Shawn had did during theirs. However, after all his efforts, hearing from the announcer himself that his match had ended in a draw, he wasn't sure how to feel about it. For one, he had just proven that he was no better than his older sister, who hadn't been chosen for this competition during her own time last year. Moreover, he was sure that she was currently mocking him from the other room meant for the second year students."Since neither of you won the match, no student year is earning a poing. That is all I have to say for now. You all can now head your ways," the announcer said, dismissing both students. Dylan couldn't stop thinking about his loss today. However, upon entering the waiting room, Kayden and a few other quickly went over to congratulate him. He may not have won, but he was still one of the few of them who was able to hold his own against a second year student. That was still an impres

  • Beast Driven   High-ups Defend

    The Shales are an alien race that had invaded the Earth not too long ago, seemingly with the desire to enslave all of humanity, and while the humans had done their very best to defend against them, it wasn't long until both sides had managed to come to some sort of truce. A peace treaty had been signed by both races, stating that neither race would interfere with the affairs of the other, and that any breaches of this contract would result in dire consequences.Now, seeing as a Shale had broken into the academy, raining terror upon the students, the high-ups knew that they would have to done something about it, and soon, before some of the students got hurt. Of course, the staff at the academy weren't weak by any means. Including the nurse, the military officer in charge of dispersing punishment among the students, and the instructors, they were confident in their abilities in dealing with the current threat.'As long as this is just a stage one, then I believe that the ten of us wil

  • Beast Driven   An Upgrade

    The Shale, which had appeared seemingly out if nowhere, had been dealt with by the adults, those who were far more powerful than the students. In the first place, it was their duty to protect the future of humanity's safety, by ensuring that no one was killed during the surprise attack. Once news had spread that the Shale had been dealt with, the students were then allowed to leave the safe room after it had been confirmed that there wasn't another Shale nearby. Although they couldn't be too sure, as their magic also allows them to cover their tracks and precense as well.Everyone had been gathered in the Arena once again. The flames had been put out, and those with boulder class ability had quickly been put to work, repairing the damaged parts of the arena, making it almost appear good as new. The reason why everyone had been gathered here once again was to discuss what had just happened, and the actions they will all take moving forward from today's incident.Clearing his throat, th

    Seeing this military officer appear out of the blue, storming into the magical weapons class, caused everyone to stop whatever it was that they were doing and turn around, directing their attention towards the middle-aged aged man. Everyone was nervous and wondering what this was all about. They didn't normally stumble across guys like him at the academy. Most of the staff and instructors at the academy looked quite different in demeanor, as compared to the man standing before them all.Clearing his throat, the man gave a stern salute, his eyes glanced upon everyone present before he spoke the reason for his arrival."As you all may be aware of, things are beginning to get out of hand. And following the incident that had happened yesterday, and the danger that's constantly roaming beyond the academy, I have come to say that, the expedition course has been shifted. It will no longer be taking place after five months. Instead, it will be taking place a week after five months. It may not

As an ancient spirit, even before his death years ago, he was a powerful entity with power that rivalled the strongest people on Earth. However, now, combined with the ability of this teenage boy, he figured out how to use the boy's power as well, in ways that Marcus had never even thought of."Come at me, old man!" He yelled, rushing forward with his hands covered in the strange once again. Upon getting closer, he swing his fist out, hoping to hit his target, however, the mayor was able to move out of the way, dodging the attack as he quickly went to deliver a strike of his own.Activating his gravity power, he was able to put Hikari in a direct situation once again.

    A Growing Power

    Fighting against the large centipede-like beast, Kayla was doing her best to evade its attack. Now, standing a good distance away, she activated her ability, covering both her fists in flames as her eyes glowed bright yellow.She rushed forward, delivering a punch to the centre of its body, quickly moving away before it would close its legs, attempting to slash at her skin. Observing the beast, she was waiting for another opportunity to move in to attack. Whenever she would see a chance, she would rush in and deliver a strong blow, her flames burning the area she would strike.Meanwhile, the adventurer had made quick work of the beasts that were rushing towards them. Instead of focusing on Kayla fighting against the large beast, he was more interested in the reason why so many beasts were running towards their direction.'Before these beasts came, there was a loud bang coming from the north. Maybe it's a higher grade beast, or maybe…' he began to run in the direction where the explosi

    The Urge To Kill(Part 2)

    "I like it when they run," Marcus said, a wide grin tearing through his face as he gazed upon tbe multitude of people scattering across the open road in search of safety. With screams filled with terror, the street was turned upside down as people ran across the roads, some crashing into glass windows just to get to safety.Seeing all of this unfold right before his eyes, there was a sense of excitement brewing within him.The soul that was taking over his body, seeing everyone running to safety, quickly kicked off against his feet, rushing tiwards tbe nearest person before swiping his hand, killing the man in a single strike.Quickly, he rushed towards the next person, repeating the process as he killed people after people, slowly littering the street with a pile of dead bodies.With all this chaos going on, ut wasn't long until someone had gotten in contact with the local police station, informing them lf the crises currently taking place. However, right after he had explained what

    The Urge To Kill

    Simply on her way through the strange land, searching for someone who could help her leave this strange planet, she was surprised when she stumbled across someone who went by the title of adventurer, a person who hunts down beasts for a living, using their Mana core to either earn money on the global market, or to increase one's own Mana pool by absorbing the energy contained in the Mana core.Standing in front of him, Kayla was wondering what she would say now. She wanted to use this man to help her gain more strength on this planet, and also, she was hoping if he would be her ticket to actually leaving this planet and heading back home."Are you an adventurer?" The man asked, quickly scanning the attire she was wearing. He immediately noticed that her uniform was unlike anything that an adventurer would wear while put in missions. After staring at her clothing for a while, something finally clicked in his mind."Are you a military student?!" He suddenly screamed, his eyes wide in sh

    The Lone Adventurer

    In order to restore her Mana, she would have to practice the total concentration breathing technique, the technique that would enable her body to siphon the natural Mana that was in the air all around her, transporting that Mana into her body for her to utilize her ability.After a few minutes of concentration, Kayla began to notice something strange.'This is weird. Normally, whenever I cultivate my Mana using total concentration breathing, it would take at least a whole hour for my Mana to fully restore. Depending on how injured my body was or the overall quality of Mana I would take in, it would usually take a longer time for my Mana pool to increase.'But, on this strange planet, it's like my mana is increasing at a much faster rate than it would normally back on Earth. I wonder, does this have something to do with the nature of the Mana in the air?'Regardless of what it was, she was glad that she would be able to increase her Mana holding capacity at a much faster rate on this p

    An Addiction

    "Hey! What is going on here?!" A voice yelled, as the door leading into the room swung open, and rushing in, were two academy instructors who looked to be in a state of panic after briefly witnessing the scene taking place. Quickly, one of the instructors rushed towards the student still standing, grabbing hold of his arm and twisting his body, sending him crashing towards the floor the next second.Meanwhile, the other instructor rushed towards the student who had collapsed on the floor prior to their entry. Kayden was still in his werewolf form, but the instructor knew the student's identity, since there was only one first year student with a transformation ability."I hope he will be okay," picking up the student, the man rushed out of the room with Kayden slumped over his shoulder, taking him straight to the infermary to receive medical treatment. "How on Earth did this happen? Aren't all students meant to be in class during this time?"Picking up the other student from the floor,

    Stronger First Year

    After a while of rolling non-stop on the floor, Marcus's cries for help had finally come to a halt. Staggering for a while, he eventually managed to regain his stance, standing upright and facing Kayden with a mixed expression on his face.'Why wasn't I able to tell him what was going on?' he asked himself. 'Does it have something to do with this mark?'His gaze then fell upon the red mark on his arm. For a moment, nothing seemed too out of place about it at this point, but then, after looking away, his eyes went wide in shock as he looked back at the mark on his arm.'It changed!' he hadn't noticed it before, but now, looking at it for the second time, he couldn't help but admit that there was something different about the mark, abd remembering the sizzling pain he felt when he tried to tell Kayden the truth, he had a feeling that the change of the marking had something to do with it.'The last mark was meant to keep me from betraying the second years, but this one.

    To Have An AbilityRunning through the hallway, Kayden couldn't help but admit that whatever was going on in the academy was strange. For one, everyone's memories had been changed, and after the system had confirmed that Marcus was the one responsible for it, he still wondered why he would go ahead and do such a thing.And also, how he was even strong enough to do something like that.The yellow scent in the air led him towards the abilities class. Swinging the door open, his eyes immediately locked on to Marcus. Without giving him time to react, he rushed forward, raising his hand to deliver a strike right to his face. Opening his eyes, Marcus was able to see the attack just in time as he moved to the side, avoiding the strike completely."Kayden! Wait! I've done it! I've changed everyone's memories back to normal!" Not knowing why Kayden had suddenly arrived and decided to attack him, Marcus couldn't think of anything else to say. However, now that he thought about it more, Kayden

    Borrowed Power

    One of the skills he had unlocked from completing a quest from not too long ago. It happened during the time of the inter-student competition, when a rogue Shale had crashed into the arena and started attacking everything in sight. The quest stated that he simply had to survive the encounter, and after doing just that, he had unlocked this skill.As easy as that quest was for him to complete, he now had a skill that would allow him track down just where Marcus was.'Still, I wonder, is all of this really his doing? Did he just decide one day that he would turn against us? But why?' his mind then drifted back to the first time he had attended the abilities class. He remembered when he first heard of Marcus's ability. At the time, he wondered why the academy would let someone with such a dangerous ability be a part of the classes.Following the yellow scent, he ran through multiple hallways. The closer he got, the stronger the scent and the yellow mist would get. After a while of runnin
