The days went by very fast. He could hardly believe he had spent up to one week here. Not like he was counting anyways. In that time, he used it to get familiar with the layout of the place. Not leaving his room unless it was really worth it. It was within those hours by himself that he had known that the next door to him was for the boy who was from Afrcia as well. But this one was a transfer student as well. He had exceptional skills, one of the reason why they had brought him in here. At least, that was what he had learnt. The boy wasn't that open with him. The only thing he had come to know of him was that his name was Jared. And Jared was big and beefy with some strength that could not be rivaled except by that of a mad mindset who would not mind getting a big whopping to engage Jared. Which he was not. So, he steered clear of him. The only thing that did bring them together in unison was that they left for the diner all in one accord. Though most times, Jared would get his
“Leslie?” West stopped walking as he turned around now with a smile on his face. “You mean the Leslie in this place? You have a thing for her now?” He asked in return. “I don't know. I just want to see if I can find it here. She looked like she would be living in this area. You know the west sector and I thought you could help me with meeting her here.” Lekan maintained his stand now. West's smile grew wider at this. He shook his head as he clapped his head right before he burst into laughter. “You never cease to amaze me Lekan.” “What does that mean now?” Lekan asked him. “You kno, I cannot do that. First of all, she stays in the girl area. Secondly, you are new in this place. The chances of you two meeting is zero” “Hey, you are Captain West. You can make this happen.” lekan refuted his claim now. Then West got serious now. He put his hands by his waist as he eyeballed Lekan. His eyelids almost closed as he narrowed his eyes as well. “If you think you can just come in
It took awhile for the crowd to settle down after the weird show. Multiple conversations rose up all about as everyone we settled about what just happened. The youths out here started to cluster up, having some conversations amidst themselves which started in hushed tones before getting the courage to begin to speak with a loud voice now. “Hey.. uh. That was strange.” Helen broke the silence between the two of them. Lekan frowned, unable to process what he had just seen. The way the boy had grabbed onto him like he was telling him a very vital piece of information. He swallowed now as he thought about it. Was there more to it than he knew? Then everyone in here knew? Was the Bureau actually about some devious means to get what they wanted and not care about the rest? He knew. He had an idea of this. His system log of his father, the last host of the Blood Domination system, had told him that. That he had no reason whatsoever to go to the System Bureau but here he was. He sighe
“This started as just a dream. A dream that we humans can live as gods amongst our peers.” Demas began to speak as he held the attention of the newcomers in the System Bureau Orientation Grounds. The transition from the smiling face was sharp, into that of a man who was wizened and experienced over the years. He stood tall and sharp as he stared right into the eyes of everyone there with an authoritative glare. Or so it felt. Even Lekan felt his strong gaze penetrating into his eyes as he listened. “Could humans have the power of gods, is that a thing which can be imagined?” Monsieur Demas asked the people out there. Nobody dared to answer him. They only stood in spell bound silence as they shifted their weight from one leg to another. Their attention fixated on him such that every turn from him was enough to make their eyes follow him. Some even angled their heads after him. Even though it was not necessary. He was right in front of them, after all. . “I looked and the
“We have to go!” Helen shouted at him. She was not the only one. “Get out of the way.” “Run , come on”“If you won't beat it then get out.” The voices started to rise as agitation began to take preeminence amongst them all. They were excited over the prospects of coming first in the race and getting the chance to get a gift from the number one man in the system Bureau. That was, the person of Monsieur Demas. The man who just welcomed them officially into the system Bureau. The one man who held the entire Bureau and its related matters in the center of his hands. It was enough for them to get bustled over it. After all, for someone of his caliber to issue something like this to them,then they knew it would have something to back it up. Though this facet is not known to some others. The very few who had not bothered to get information about the orientation from the others in the Bureau. People like Lekan. He saw it as something which was just announced by the megaphone.
“Who is your teacher?” Helen asked the moment Lekan got out he had a scowl on his face, something which she overlooked out of the excitement of this whole occasion. He did not reply which got her worried now until he held out the paper for her to read. Only then did her face lighten up now. “Oh. you are also a Special system too. And your homeroom tutor is Ms Dexter? Nice!” She chorused out. “Why is that?” Lekan asked her, an eyebrow arched up now. “Well, Ms Dexter is my homeroom too. That means, you and I would be seeing a lot of ourselves through the season.” She giggled, waving out the stretched out paper for him to read ors. “It says that classes will start today. Where do we go?” He asked her, dismissing the excitement on her face now. “Well, come with me. We have to head back to the academic building and then get settled in for class.” She muttered to him. Helen didn't waste a single second as she grabbed a hold of his hand. The excitement that took over her entire
Lekan found it a bit unnerving to have everyone in the room look at him. Well, not him alone. Helen too. . But he doubted she felt this way. If for anything, Helen seemed to find everything about the Bureau exciting. Which he could not relate. His father must have left the Bureau for a certain reason. And that same reason must have been why he had left a log in the system, for the system lady to instruct him never to go to the Bureau. There were so many missing parts of the puzzle in his life. And he was not the ;east excited about fixing them or finding out what they really meant. Not to talk about her visions of the future he had. Though that had slowed down for a while. It struck him now as he recalled the vision he had, once about Helen. This same Helen, he’d met her. In a distant future or past or maybe it was all but a dream. And the two of them had gotten affectionate with one another. Something which popped into his head while he was at the hospital. Prior to meeting May
“Now that is out of the way.” Ms Dexter rubbed her hands as she exhaled now. “WE have to get started with why you are here in the first place. Want to tell you a lot of things, and say that you would be the greatest and that is my dream and what not but the truth is, I find those things boring. SO i would get started on the actual lecture and then dismiss you to go do what you do at your age.” She said to them now. Lekan shifted uneasily at this. He found this suspicious. It was like she was not bothered about the whole class or something. He had questions to ask her, and her initial demeanor had given it off that she could be the best person to get started with. However the vibes she was putting off now were totally different. Or maybe it was him who was expecting so much for her. “So. eh, first things first.” She started to speak and then walked to Maria. “I told you to stop doing that.If you don't think you can't stop it, then you have to leave this class.” She said with
