Mason sat on his seat at the back of the class as he went through his books. And for the first time since he began Avalon school, he was able to read at peace without anyone coming to disturb him.

Soon though, the school bell rang indicating that the school break was over. And a few moments later, the student in class D began trooping into the class just as Mr Gibson, the history teacher came walking in.

"Ugh, history class again!" A girl with raven coloured hair complained while the whole class bursted out laughing.

"I know you hate history class Debby, but I'm sorry to break it to you, the school pays me to do my job so I'm going to do my job." Mr Gibson replied with a smile as he dropped the history textbook on the table while moving to the front of the table.

"Today is going to be different everyone because we are not going to talk about the history of earth like we normally do in our classes but about the history of the dragon bloods, their weakness, strength and how they can be defeated." Mr Gibson said as he moved in between rows while everyone else seemed to get relaxed as if waiting for the lesson to begin. Even Mason was interested as he had always been his wish to fight against the dragon bloods.

"Like everyone must have guessed right now, the entire world does not truly know the origin of the dragon bloods or where they came from. All we know is that they came to earth hundred of years ago, creaking havoc and destroying all that stood in their sight. Their physical forms are just like that of humans but they are unlike anything you've ever seen or Heard of." Mr Gibson said and paused as he took a look at everyone's faces. And seeing that he had gotten their interest already, he took a deep breathe before continuing.

"The dragon bloods differs from one another and have three different skin colours, each one much more stronger than the next. They are the tan skin, the green skin and the black skin. The ones with the tan skin are tall and muscular like the rest but with piercing serpent eyes and two long horns on their head. They possess pointed ears and can only be defeated by a level 5 ability users and above. The ones with green skin have the same form as the first one but with a tail and scaly skin. They can only be defeated by level 7 ability users and above while the black skin dragon bloods are much more powerful than the rest. They have all the forms of the other two but with strange markings and a crest on their back. They are much more powerful and can only be defeated by a level 8.5 ability users and above. But they all have the same weaknesses, they are vulnerable to magic. So does with the mage ability or saint ability can easily defeat them depending on their levels. Another way to defeat them is to use weapons created from their bones or bones of other high mutated beast. Aside from these, dragon bloods cannot be defeated."

Mr Gibson took a deep breathe as he finished explaining. He could tell from everyone's faces that they were indeed satisfied by his today's lessons. And indeed he was right, everyone was really satisfied. Although they had just learnt of how powerful dragon bloods really were, they were happy to know their weaknesses as well.

Mason on the other hand could not believe his ears, he was really thrilled by everything he had just learned. Becoming a level 7 ability user and above was by no way an easy thing as many got stuck after reaching level 6. Leveling up after that took a lot of time and hard work and only a quite few could achieve that. And this just proved that dragon bloods were indeed really powerful, even much more than he imagined.

"Can I really defeat something like that?" Mason wondered but quickly push the thought away. There was no way he was going to let that stop him. He was going to train and work really hard to become powerful. Besides he had the system now which meant he now had a chance.

"Okay everyone, that's that." Mr Gibson said and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"I have an announcement to make everyone. For those among you who wish to join the neohuman Force and become a hunter. The acceptance exams is coming up in a month. The requirements is to be an ability user and at least a level 1.5. if you're interested, then get a form from the central office and fill it out."

With that, Mr Gibson turned and existed the class, leaving the entire class stunned by the news. Mason on the other hand couldn't hide the joy he was feeling right now. This was his chance, the one he had always been waiting for. But although it was finally here, Mason couldn't help but feel a bit sad about that.

Although he had gotten the system, he still could not figure out what his ability was and how it work. And until he did, he wasn't sure what would happen.

"Hey, you're Mason right? Are you going to try it out?" A voice asked from besides him and Mason turned to see who it was. It was Caleb, a boy with dirty blonde hair and a pointy nose. Strange, Mason thought, although the boy had just transferred to the school, he had never spoken to him before.

"Are you talking to me?" Mason asked with a surprise look and the boy nodded.

"Of course. And I heard what you did to Drake by the way, well we all did. And I just want to say thank you, he really deserved it."

"Yeah. Well, he had it coming anyway. It was only a matter of time before someone did it." Mason replied while scratching his head. It was really awkward talking to someone at Avalon school since he was used to being alone.

"How did you do it by the way? I know you're not an ability user. Or did you awaken one?" Caleb asked and Mason chuckled nervously.

"Of course not. I was just lucky." Mason lied. Well, technically it wasn't a lie as he still did not know what ability he had yet.

"Well, that's quite the luck you got there." Caleb said and they both laughed. "Well, I'm Caleb, Caleb Fae."

"Mason Blackwood." Mason replied as they shook hands.

"So? Are you going to try it out or not? The acceptance Exams I mean."

"I'm not sure about that." Mason replied. "I'm not an ability user and I don't have the required funds so,"

"Come on, cheer up. The exam is one month away. And that's pretty long if you ask me. Anything can happen before then you know? So do not give up just yet." Caleb said and Mason smiled. Somehow he could tell that Caleb was a good guy and that perhaps , they might one day become good friends in the future.

    Mason laid on the bed with his face facing the ceiling. It has been a few hours since everyone had finished eating and have gone to sleep. And now as he laid on the bed trying to get some sleep, Mason could not help but think about his life and how he had ended up here.According to Mrs Harper, they had found him laying on a basket in front of the orphanage seventeen years ago. It seems whoever his parents were had given up on him and had decided it was better for the orphanage to raise him instead. The only thing they had left him was a pendant and a note that revealed his name. And now as the years went by, Mason could not help but wonder who his real parents were and why they had abandon him. He wondered if they were neohumans or ordinary humans like he was. But the one thing he'd always wish for was a chance to meet them and ask them all this questions in person.As Mason laid on the bed, thinking. He couldn't help but hear strange noises coming out from all through the building.

The entire ground was soak red with his blood while his clothes looked torn and damaged.

    Mrs Harper

    It was half past five in the evening when Mason got home, drained and hungry. Mrs Harper and Sabrina were sitting on the rocks outside the orphanage when he arrived and they both had looks of surprise on their faces. It wasn't a secret to them that Mason got bullied at school a lot, and because of that he usually got home late, bruised and weak from the fight. But today was different because he had not only gotten home three hours early than he normally did but was also looking sharp and clean. Even his school uniform was in the right places instead of being torn like they normally did. "Hey, you got home early today? Did you escape fighting today?" Sabrina mocked from where she sat while Mrs Harper just watched. "Funny you should say that because I actually got into a fight today and won." Mason replied and Sabrina just broke down laughing. "Anything funny?" He asked but she just kept laughing. "I told you Mason, the day you win a fight is the day I will crawl through Beverly to

    Mason wiped the blood from his mouth as he stood on his feet with anger coursing through his veins. He looked around the balcony and noticed a little crowd had began to form, clearly waiting for what was to happen next. The blue screen still towered above him, reminding him of the quest he had just received. Mason stared at the last message and felt his pulse quicken. Was he really going to lose the system if he lost the fight? Or was the system just playing pranks on him? He wondered but couldn't wait to gather his thoughts as a punch to the face send him flying backwards until he hit his back on the wall. "What the fuck are you staring at?" Drake slurred as he raced towards him and threw another punch at his face but this time around Mason was quick to dodge, allowing the punch to hit the wall. "How about that you prick?" Mason yelled while giving him the middle finger which only seemed to infuriate Drake the more. Without warning, Drake charged at Mason, his massive frame barre

    "Ahh, when the heck is it gonna end?" Mason yelled in frustration as he ran round the orphanage for the umpteenth time, trying to complete the second lap. It has been hours since he had gotten back from the cliff and now he was trying to confirm if the system was indeed real or not. He has done the push ups and sit ups already and now he was trying to complete the hundred meter lap. But so far the system had still not displayed anything. "So it was fake all along." Mason said with a sigh as he continued running. And just when he was about to stop and give up, he heard a ding and immediately, some few messages appeared before his eyes. [You have completed the daily Quest] [Complete a hundred meter run - 2 laps]✓ [Push up - 20/20]✓ [Sit up - 20/20]✓ [20 Exp has been obtain] [Exp - 20/100] "Wow... I...it's real!"
