4:00 AM
DRRRING!!!The loud automatic alarm blared throughout the rooms of the whole school.Green groaned and stirred on his bed while using his pillows to cover his ears silently wishing that the alarm had an invisible snooze button that he could press while lying on the bed. After a few minutes of agony of him battling with sleepiness, he finally forced himself to stand up, and almost screamed out in pain when he saw that it was still four in the morning.'Nobody told me that I would be forced out of bed like a criminal... I just feel like sleeping a little bit longer but... I better get ready for the morning activities...'He thought as he grabbed a towel and went into his bathroom for a shower so that he would head to the refectory where they would take their breakfast which would start by 5:00 AM.Due to the fact that he had a very impressive retentive memory, he could remember the exact wordings of the school's rules and regulations in the prospectus even though he had binge-read it and he made sure that he never missed the common offences in the school that could cost you some big-time punishment and one of them included missing the morning roll call which they carried out during breakfast. One of the impressive things about the school was that no matter where you were in the school or out of it, as long as you have your identity watch on your wrist, you would become easy prey for them.Walking into the refectory for first years, he quickly sat at his table number, 042 and waited patiently as the waiters dressed in black trousers and white shirts served him his meal. As he ate, he wondered when the roll call would be called when his watch suddenly vibrated softly and a green tick appeared on it, he was surprised and looked around only for him to see it on everybody else's watches.'Even the roll call is automatic... Nice one'"All first years, please wait behind after your breakfast for the completion of your orientation. Thank you."A male voice said through the P.A speakers in the refectory.Green recognized the voice instantly, it belonged to Master Baron.After their breakfast, all the first years waited patiently at the refectory and after some time, the three administrators in charge of the first years walked into the refectory."Good morning students"Baron said, he looked so mature in his black and white suit but though it looked good, Green couldn't understand the idea wearing a suit everyday'That would be so uncomfortable'He thoughtDoctor Gary was still dressed like a mad scientist with his long white lab coat, his eyeglasses and disheveled black hair. Ms Iris still looked as beautiful as ever with all the skin she had left exposed on her thighs and front side."Good morning sir"They chorused"Today, we will take a look at the important buildings in the school and you'll also get to see your classrooms where you will be studying for the rest of the academic year..."Green felt a ripple of excitement that pulsed through the crowd as a result of the last statement. Even he would admit that he was a little bit excited to see the classrooms too but for now that would have to wait, they would have to see other buildings first.***Tenebris got bored of staying holed up in his suite that morning and decided to spend some time at the pool while observing the humans.Dressed in a flowered knicker without a shirt, he trod to the hotel's outdoor pool. Though karma had reduced his features to make him look more human, there was only so much it could do to his tanned and muscular body. Both ladies and men alike couldn't help ogling at him as he strode past like a king."Oh my gosh! What a hunk!""He's such a beefcake, I could eat him all up!"Some of the ladies he walked past couldn't help but express their amazement openly at his impressive body. One of them was even shameless enough to throw herself on him as if she had tripped but he saw through her ploy and took a step to the side making her to fall on the ground like a bag of sand. He walked past like nothing happened while some people snickered and chuckled at the shameless lady that was pouting on the floor.He walked up to a counter that was at a corner of the pool side and asked for a drink and they gave him a glass of orange fruit juice with a straw, after that he found a spot and lay on one of the sunloungers while sipping his juice and observing the humans.He couldn't understand why the young women in this realm would walk around almost naked at the pool with just a rope like underwear that ran around the waist and barely even covered their butt cheeks.'What's so beautiful about these harlots? they're all dressed as if they're in their private quarters, look at how they're displaying their goods for all men to see... What a pity, the worst part about this realm is that they all seem to see this hideous display of skin as a normal occurrence, I can feel the memory of the man I absorbed leaping in joy at the sight of these delinquents...Just look at these ugly things walking like peacocks, they're not even up to a quarter of Regie's beauty... pathetic.... pathetic.... pathetic...so pathetic!...'Tenebris thoughts were so violent that he didn't know when his killing intent leaked and he began to say it aloud while staring at the ladies in bikinis walking around."Pathetic!.."CRACK!He regained his composure and looked at his hand only to see that in his trance, he had squeezed the glass cup so tight that it broke and pierced his hand."Please go easy with the killing intent, they're all innocent women"A voice said beside him"Huh?"Tenebris said and spun round to face the person, a slim tall man around 6'2 that wore glasses and was dressed in a multi colored checkered suit, he had a professional aura around him that made him look like a businessman with one of those con men smiles on his face. It was during one of these moments that Tenebris silently cursed Karma for reducing his height"Good morning Mr Bristene, my name is...""I don't care... Get out of my sight"Tenebris interrupted him"Please will you just hear us out?""No"He said and stood up"I won't warn you again, get out of my sight""Fuu..."Wilhelm took a deep breath as he put his index finger on the bridge of his glasses and closed his eyes for a moment before saying"We have what you need""Haha"Tenebris laughed sarcastically"What do you think I need?""Can we talk somewhere more private?"Wilhelm askedTenebris paused for some time as if he was considering it'I've used my powers of detection that I got from the Celestial of Wisdom on him and I know that he's not lying about this, but can I trust him?.... Haa, that's a stupid question, if he tries to hurt me, I'll just kill him and everyone he came with'He looked at Wilhelm and almost laughed at him, his face was like that of a child that was expecting acknowledgement from his parents."Okay, fine. Lead the way""Thank you, I promise you won't regret this"With a bow, Wilhelm led Tenebris into the hotel building to the VIP room that he rented specially for this.As they entered the building, Bernard, Wilhelm's right hand man stared with narrowed eyes at the two of them'Who exactly is this man that master Wilhelm would go through all this stress to meet. He even bowed to him!... Something fishy is going on...'After taking the students to all the important buildings in the school, he brought them to a five floor building that was painted with a yellow color."This.."Baron said as he gestured towards the building"...is where you will be performing all your academic activities for your first year.""Wow""Woah""I can't believe this"The students exclaimed in surprise as they stared open-mouthed at the building.'A five-storey building? Just for first years? Could this school get any more impressive?'Green asked himself as he looked at the magnificent building."Every school facility will be provided here ranging from a computer room to an indoor gym to a kitchen to a science laboratory and others..."Baron said as he led the students through the hallways of the magnificent building.The hallways were wide enough to contain ten people standing side by side and the walls were painted with a clean yellow color. There was nothing on the walls except for the numerous awards and plaques that we
Wilhelm was seated on a white luxury couch opposite Tenebris who was seated on another white luxury couch. Between them was a laptop on a glass table that was facing Wilhelm, they were the only people inside the VIP room."This better be worth it or else you're going to regret bringing me here"Tenebris said while observing his fingernails"It will.... I promise"Wilhelm assured him with a villainous smile plastered on his lips"Do you remember..."He turned the laptop to face Tenebris and he instantly knew that he had hit the mark when Tenebris' expression changed."How did you get this?"Tenebris asked Wilhelm, his eyes were wide in surprise as he watched the video that was playing on the screen, it was a video that showed when him and Jack fell out of the sky into a woody area and how he disappeared immediately.Wilhelm's smile became wider, it was his turn to show off"Fortunately for us, the property you fell on belongs to me""How does this concern me?"Tenebris replied inimical
"...huff huff"Green panted heavily as they both arrived at the White Lion House after a very tiring run from the seniors that had tried to bully him."I think we were able to shake them off successfully"Ryan said as he searched for any sign that they were followed but he didn't see any."Thank you for what you did back there"Green said in appreciation,"Hehe"Ryan chuckled nervously as if to tell Green to forget about it,"So what class are you in?"He asked Green as they entered the elevator and ascended to the third floor,"Year 1 A, what about you?""I'm in Year 1 A too, I guess we'll be seeing each other more often then"Ryan said cheerily'We?...'Green thought'Is he already considering me as his friend?'Before Green could say anything contradictory, Ryan said"Alright, here's my room. I'll catch you later"With those words, he entered a room that had the numbers 020 written on the door and shut it as if he was in a hurry.Green was now left standing alone in the hallway wit
After breakfast at the refectory that morning, Green headed for his class, Year 1-A, when he arrived, he realized were already a few students in the class that were talking to each other, he paused for a while as he scanned the classroom for a suitable position where he would sit. After a few seconds, he found one that was close to the window and sat there, the students that were already in the class didn't even notice him when he walked in because he walked in quietly and sat down.His quiet cover was blown when Ryan burst loudly into the classroom"Green my man! How are you?! I didn't see you at the refectory today"'But I did.... You were with the redhead'Green said in his thoughts"Oh... Is that so?"He said with a forced chuckle,"I'll be sitting here, right next to you"Ryan said with a smile and sat down on the empty seat beside Green."Oh okay, no problem then"Green said, he didn't really care whether he sat there or not"So... You're excited right? Today's our official firs
The first three classes before recess was exciting for Green because he got to learn about new things so he was a bit disappointed when the bell for recess rang."Alright now, you can now go to the cafeteria for your recess, we'll continue in our next..."She had barely finished speaking when the students stood up and began to leave the class in ones and twos, the first duo to leave was Ryan and his friend."...class"She finished her statement to only Green and a few other students who were still seated in the class. Green took a deep breath before leaving the class, a few seconds after the bell rang. He walked to the cafeteria and met a jaw dropping sight. The cafeteria was chock full with varieties of food and snacks from different places and cultures. He salivated as the enzymes in his stomach jumped in joy at the sight of the sumptuous meals that were been served, he quickly grabbed a tray and entered the queue behind his fellow students. This joy and surprise was cut short wh
Classes had ended for the day and Green was going back alone, Sam had dragged Ryan off to someplace where she needed to go so Green decided to return to the dorm alone. He was about to leave the school building when he saw a group of 3 first years dragging another first year to the back of the building. 'What? What's going on there?'He thought as he stealthily followed them.It was when they arrived at the back of the building that Green realized that these group of boys were the same group that he saw at the cafeteria.'What are they doing?'He didn't need to ask twice because the biggest student among them walked up to the boy that they were dragging and gave him a hot slap across his face.WHACK!Green flinched as if he was the one that was slapped as he looked at the poor boy that was writhing on the floor in pain."Did that hurt?"The big guy said and grabbed his dazed victim by the hair."If you don't want another one, you do what I say right?"The student who was slapped di
Jack's office was a small room with a desk, computer and chair for visitors. He sat at his chair while Green sat opposite him, on the chair for visitors."So first things first.... My name isn't Mr Mage, it's Mr Jack and I'll be your math teacher from now on""But how did you do it?"Green asked curiously,"Haha, I have my methods. What's your name?""I'm Green"Green replied casually,"Green huh? It resonates quite well with you though"Jack said and sized him up,"So, I know I don't need to tell you but you are quite a special child""Pfft!"Green stifled a chuckle,"Don't pull my legs sir, everybody knows that I'm a good for nothing green haired freak""Hahaha"Jack began to laugh uncontrollably,"What's funny?""Even with your special eyes, you can't even detect your own gift, what a pity"Jack said mockingly"What are you talking about? Which gift?"Green asked,"..."Jack didn't say anything rather he removed the black bracelet on his wrist, thereby revealing his aura, Green was
"Prissy"That was all Green could say as he stared at the black and red jacket and trouser that was placed on top of his table."This will be your uniforms from now on, you are to wear this for every academic function that will be taking place in this school"Baron said and left the class with the people who had distributed the uniforms.The top part of the uniform was a red jacket with the school's badge sewed tight to the breast pocket for males and ditto for females while the lower part was a plain black trouser for males and skirt for females. It just looked too fancy for Green.'Aish, I can't believe that I'll be wearing this'Green thought while eyeing the clothes weirdly."Do you like them?"The girl beside Green said in her characteristic low voice."Eh?""Do you like them?"She asked again with a louder voice,"Mmm... Not really though, but do I have a choice?""Haha right, we don't really have a choice"She laughed,Green couldn't help but notice her beautiful gap teeth as
A soft breeze blew in through the windows of the room and the curtains danced in tune to the wind. "... I'll go first" he continued,"I'm Carl Cameron, and I'm a thick proficient fire and lightning mage. I'm also the last wielder of the illusion eye..."With that short precise introduction about his status, he kept quiet and looked over to the next person to make his own introduction.The next person was a tall bald dark skinned man in his late twenties, "My name is Alex Alexis and I'm a mid Proficient water and ice mage, I look forward to working with you all"The next person was a chubby man who looked like he was in his mid thirties with blonde hair and hazel brown eyes that showed hints of perversions, there was also a permanent smug smile on his face."I'm Walter Wallace and I'm a mid proficient mage of the darkness element"The next man was a tall and skinny white skinned man who looked like he was in his late twenties with long white hair and earrings, he was wearing a black
Derek recovered quite quickly and was discharged the following day, during recess, he stomped furiously over to Green who was sitting at one corner, alone.THUD!Derek's slapped his palm loudly on the table, attracting everyone's attention to them. Green, who was eating slowly, silently looked up to Derek's rage filled face and asked softly,"How may I help you?"Derek's face contorted in anger as he thought,'Look at this fool acting all cocky just because he rescued me'"Why did you help me? I don't remember asking for your help..."He seethed,"I didn't help you, my hand just slipped..."He replied and returned his attention to his lunch,"What sort of flimsy lame *ss excuse is that?"Derek asked,"You know what? I don't care, at least now, the both of us do not owe each other anything...""..."Green paused his meal for a second as if he wanted to say something but on second thought, he swallowed his words and continued his meal.Derek seemed to be enraged by Green's silence but h
'Wha... What... I can't believe it! I actually made an energy ball!!'Green thought happily as he brought down his outstretched hands and walked up to an unconscious Derek.A few moments ago, Green came out of the gymnasium and met Drex fighting with Derek, he instantly knew from their first moves that Derek would lose badly and end up getting injured so he decided to interfere in order to rescue him.He raised his palms up and tried to gather his magic energy on it just like Jack had been teaching him but it took him some time till the tiny energy ball that was the size of a fist finally materialized over his palms, once he saw it, he knew that he didn't have any more time to waste because Drex was now walking slowly towards Derek with extreme killing intent.Without wasting time, he pushed his hands forward and the energy ball flew at the speed of sound, knocking Drex by the sides and sending him flying away.Green was elated, he couldn't wait to break the news to Jack but before th
The sound of the running tap filled the restroom and Derek washed his face with trembling hands."Don't cry... Don't cry. Be strong"He muttered repeatedly to himself as he washed off the salty tears that had already begun to drop down his cheeks,'Father.... What can I ever do for you to genuinely recognize me?'Derek asked himself as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.Expressionless, black eyes and spiky black hair that hung over his face on bangs. He could be considered quite handsome amongst his mates but that didn't matter to him, all he truly needed was for someone to acknowledge him and treat him like a human and not like an object as his father did.SLAM!The door to the restroom flung open and Drex walked in while smiling,"So this is where you are?... You mannerless fool"Derek didn't even turn to face him, he was busy inspecting his face on the mirror."Huh?"Drex exclaimed,'Is this fool ignoring me?'Slowly, he walked up to Derek and said,"Do you even know who I
Green woke up in the morning with a nasty sickening feeling in his stomach."Urgh"He groaned and rolled out of his bed, it was a Saturday so there were no classes and the students woke up later than usual.After performing his morning hygiene routine with the persistent sickening feeling in his gut, he walked out of his room to meet a very unusual sight, there were students walking around while chatting excitedly about something, it was at that moment that he realized the reason why he was having a sickening feeling in his gut.That day was no ordinary Saturday, it was the visiting day for the term and he hadn't slept properly the previous night because once again, he would be reminded about the fact that he had no family."Tch!"He exclaimed loudly and went straight to the gym for his morning workout.......The Visitor's Room....The front doors flung open and a tall handsome man of about 6'3 dressed in a red suit walked into the room, "Woah!!""Wow""Look at that skin!"Parents a
WHOOSH!!!The wind whipped cruelly against Derek's face as Jason appeared in front of him, his speed was inhuman."What the... What the heck?"Derek uttered in a voice filled with terror as he took a step back."We haven't introduced ourselves now, have we?"Jason asked in a deadly calm tone."Who... Who are you"Derek replied, he had seen many things at the Cameron mansion but he had never seen a student move as fast as Jason just did now."I'm Jason"He extended his hand to Derek for a handshake,"...and I'm the leader of the hell hounds"Derek looked at the outstretched hand and thought,'The hell hounds? Is that what they call themselves?'Reluctantly, he shook Jason's hand and said,"I'm Derek""Nice to meet you Derek, behind you there is my team, the hell hounds"Jason said and Derek turned to face the others,"I'm Drex, second in command"Drex said and cocked his head to the side in a prideful manner,"I believe we've met before Derek, I'm Carly"Carly said and waved to Derek w
After the incident at the rooftop, Green and Ryan drifted apart and hardly spoke with each other, Green and Sam rarely spoke to each other and Laura avoided Green because she wanted to be in Ryan's good books.Green decided to ignore everything around him like he did at the orphanage and focus on his fitness and magic power training. Things continued uneventfully like that until one day when Green and Ryan met each other alone on the hallway. School had dismissed for the day and most of the students had left for their dorms, the only students present there were those that had some issues to rectify with the teachers. Green was one of such students.The hallway was quiet and dimly lit but was bright enough for people to recognize each other. It was on this hallway that Green saw Ryan coming from the opposite direction with a deep frown on his face. His gut churned in nervousness and he felt his knees get weaker as they got closer, ever since that day, Ryan had been looking at him l
"Ugh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it"Green apologized, he was so mortified that he couldn't move a muscle as they both faced each other in fear and embarrassment.Lying below him, Laura could feel Green's heart beating wildly like someone who just ran a race and as she looked at his face to yell at him, her mouth hung open as she realized that Green was actually very handsome when looking at him from a close distance. "What. The . Hell is going on here?"They both jumped and scrambled to their feet at the sound of Ryan's voice."No.. nothing... We're not doing anything"Laura stuttered,"I...we had an accident"Green said,Ryan stared suspiciously from Green to Laura and back while thinking,'These two are obviously up to something'"Then how will you explain that position I found you in and this broken item?"Ryan asked, there was a hard edge to his voice as if he was trying to hold his anger in."Believe me Ryan, it was just an accident"Laura pleaded and walked up to Ryan,'Wait a m
"Our friendship. Your soft hearted DID and Green are making you too soft and that is something we do not need for survival, remember?."Ryan said calmly,"Plus I've been seeing more of your DID personality. What's wrong Sam? Are you hiding from someone?""Yes""Really?"Ryan was shocked to hear that Sam was hiding from someone, who could it be?"Who is it?""..."Sam looked up at Ryan and said,"I don't think I'm getting soft, I think you're the one who's getting hard hearted. For some reason, it seems that you now loathe been associated with me, can't you now see who I'm hiding from?""What? You're hiding from me? That's a lie! How will I hate been associated with you. I owe my life to you"Ryan said,"Then why didn't you go to fresher's night with me? Why did you start seeing me as a domineering person?"Sam asked, her voice was shaky as she spoke."Huh?"Ryan exclaimed,'Why's she talking like this. I thought she wouldn't mind'"Answer me Ryan! Why didn't you go with me?"Sam asked
