*************************Present********************** "Jake, where are you ?" She softly muttered with arms crossed under her soft twin mounds. "Ava , it is." A hoarse deep voice called out her name as she instinctively turned towards the direction of the voice. If it was before, her brain would have received and processed the information; image, person, she had just seen. But now, all she could mentally recall was a blank image. It was like she was just gazing into a void. Gazing was the wrong word, but it felt like that to her. "You must be Master Patrick ?" Ava politely asked as Patrick stared at her with a bit of surprise. "Master ? Ha..ha..ha..Call me Patrick or Rick, but not Pat for short...you don't want Celine icy stare on you." "Alright Sir Patrick." He stared at the young lad who was roughly the same age as his young niece and smiled softly. "Alright Ava, I will be taking you on as my student, but first, why do you want to be my student?" "You offered
"Hey man, you still there ?" [BRAVO TEAM, YOU ARE FAILING THIS MISSION.]"Jake you there!" "Cmon man, you are the last man standing, plant the energy beam box""Ahhh, the monsters are coming Jake run! Get out of there now!"The voices blaring from the fallen headset continued as the unconscious body slumped over his desk with water dripping down the floor slowly, remained unresponsive.The monitor screen kept on flashing light before displaying [GAME OVER]."Jake! You still there?!" "Forget him Aiden, Man let's us down"."This is the first time though. Ugh, we lose again"."I'm off man, later"."You too""Jake, we coming around later".Slowly the monitor screen dimmed due to inactivity while still humming slightly. "Ughh" Suddenly, the unconscious body jerked up violently, as water and also a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Coughing violently and also wheezing along, his left hand brushed against a game pad. Immediately he shielded his eyes as the light rays violentl
"What?" "Take a deep breath boy, this isn't real".He said to himself as he quickly shut his eyes, tightly for a moment and controlled his breathing.Upon opening his eyes, before him was the same user profile.[WELCOME TO PRIME] [Name: Jake French][Race: Human][Talent Rank: F Rank][Ability: Nil][Special Ability: Copying Ability][For more stats options, say cheese]"Ahh shit, I may be losing my mind" He ruffled his head for a moment before looking up and down, but still nothing changed.Looking up briefly, he noticed the words: special ability."Copying ability?" He muttered to himself as he glanced around quickly before standing up."Copying ? I can copy anything I touch or what ?" He asked himself again as he held a game pad. "Hm, it didn't ? What if ?" Like a bell going off in his head, he quickly ran off to the dining room. Moving in like a breeze, he was barely able to stop himself from running into his elder sister.Suddenly a screen came up before his eyes, just like
[Enroll in the Bronx Academy and secure your future now][Want to be a beast hunter and live a good life, Bronx is the way!][Registration ends in a week time]"Huh, another floating advertisement. I wonder how long it would have taken my world to get to this stage". He said to himself while weaving through the market he just entered. He thought about Bronx Academy. The third and lowest Academy in the city.Bronx was where the commoners and anyone who couldn't afford to go to Pearl ended up in.Pearl was for the wealthy folks and the elites of the city, your good money could buy you a spot in it.And lastly was Ruby Academy. One could only get in with a high talent rank, which must be at least a B Rank.Upon getting home, he did his registration for Bronx Academy, got a smart watch delivered to him from the school as he prepared for the resumption date after informing his sister of his decision. As usual, she was exceedingly glad.A week later, on a Monday morning under the gaze of t

CLANG!The sound of metal clashing reverberated in the air as he walked into the training ground. Both fighters clashed mid air before putting some distance between themselves as they landed on their feet. They kept at it for a minute or two, as more first years trooped in to meet the ongoing battle. "That's second year Farok against James.""My money on James, to win""No, Farok is a true warrior; he got this."The students discussed amongst themselves as both fighters continued to stall each other of the victory. The sound of a whistle brought the fight to an end as both competitors sheathed their sword and dropped their shield and slammed their right hand against their chest. "That's enough for today. Wrap it up second years, it's time for your juniors to learn the...."He paused just for a moment before screaming:"THE WAYS OF A TRUE WARRIOR!""AHHH!"All the second year students, joined him in screaming up to the sky, their voice creating a rhythmic echo across the building.

Jake looked to his right, and a cute smiling face with black hair and strands of purple winked at him. She looked familiar, but he just couldn't tell from where or when. Just as he was about to ask if he knew her, she spoke."You know I waited for you all through that day, the next and up till now?" "We agreed that after seeing our results, we would text each other back but you never did"."You were with the boys, weren't you ?" "...And you didn't even call since then, its been more than a month if not more !" She threw a barrage of questions at him, with no opportunity to reply, and a lot of emotional faces accompanying each sentence. She settled with a pout as she stared into his eyes, passing a quick message, that she was ready to listen to his words. All this while, they were still running, not as fast as before as they both dropped in speed and matched each other pace."Sorry, do I know you?" Jack asked with a perplexed but straight face.She grew red just for a second before
