During the break,
An enthusiastic boy said "Blake why didn't you just freeze everyone with your power!"
Blake dryly replied "Dude, that will be going against the rules" and slouched back, with crossed arms.
"Draven, who do you think is a better fire user?" You or Natalia?"
Sharing Blake's expression, Draven said "Natalia" while stuffing his face with chocolate tarts.
Surrounded by their ardent questions, some even probed about his personal life.
Draven blindly nodded, as in the dept of his mind, he was having a conversation with the system.

Painted orange, the sun shimmered in, through the gloomy windows, the curtains danced with the breeze. As the light razed though the shadows, filling it with an orange hue. In the middle, seated a plush recliner, he swirled the wine in his hand, he sighed, staring at the celling. A dreamy smile etched on his gleaming face. "Oh, my Baby… oh my, you are a feisty" His chuckle reverberated through the room. His flagrant eyes unfurled, from the light shuffle of feet. Outside the greyish room, Climbing up, her heels clicked against the wooden stairs. "Good afternoon, young lady" an elderly butler said. Stone-face, she replied "Afternoon, Wilson. Is my brother inside?" Wilson said "Yes, Young master is inside, he must be resting" "Thank you, you may leave" Wilson bowed and disappeared her sight with quick strides down. Facing his door, her beautiful face contorted into a haggard, scarecrow. <
Karisa switched the lights on, their heels clicked against the carpeted floor, they walked into the homely living room, furnished with cream leather and mahogany coffee table, pink flowers; facing a screen of glass, inspicously blended with the white walls, styled with scenic paintings. She clicking on the heaters. "Make yourself at home" He hit the couch. Karisa was in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Bored, his lazy eyes roamed, before spotted something within the pile of magazines and books under the coffee table. He sneaked a glance at the kitchen, sneakily lifted the magazines and found several iCubes and USBs. The Orange company created the iCube, more like a CD in the shape of a cube and can store 5D and holographic movies. He snickered, perusing through the titles. Without the notion of privacy, he snooped through her secret collection. A soft chuckle resounded the room, he slowly put them in order, exactly like i
The school bell rang, Draven pushed his chair in and dashed out, before the teacher. A group of speed users zoomed passed and beat him to the cafeteria. Draven anxiously scuttered to the queue. Impatiently, he swayed side to side and muttered "Damn it! Still slow… looks like I need to buy a speed ability!" Behind the recent school times, a couple of buff guys approached him. A bald boy in a white sweatshirt, rudely said "Hey, give me your spot!" "No way!" Draven shook his head, holding his arms. "You want a spot, there is one at back!" pointed him to the back. The other boy, in black, sleeveless top. Gripped Draven's polo shirt and sent a glare. "Hey pal, give us your spot and we will let you go in one piece" he snickered. Draven puffed his chest. Enraged, he said "When I say no, I mean NOO!" The bald fellow, said "Hehe, I don't give a damn..." Draven spat on his face. "Sorry, so do I" hysterical
The group stopped in front of the door; Draven walked in. Breaking his consciousness from the system, he found himself in a music studio, devoid of instruments. Internally, Draven commented "That's it! Screw this shit!" and selected aura suppression of the second level. -2000exp Draven's hand created a wisp of fire, it swirled around his body, creating an armour of fire. He charged with a flame in his hands. The ground quaked, an earth wall sprouted from the ground. On the wall, earth spears randomly shot from its surface. Draven twisted his body and ducked while dashing forward. He spread out a screen of fire, holding the spears. "He is a level 3 too" someone exclaimed. "Focus" A boy with a blue mohawk walked forward and dispersed the heat, he mimicked Draven's power. And covered half of his body in flames. "Interesting. Let's see how much can you copy, Hehe" Draven grinned, he sent a flying fist
Next day, Draven was about to hop on the bus before him His com chimed, he paused his feet and took a look. Reading the text, a delightful smile grew on his face. Hello Draven! What are you up to? He tapped his com, ready to send his reply. A hand pulled his arm around, he turned and gasped. Mischievous smile hung under her glittering fiery hair. A breeze passed by, elegantly swayed her denim skirt, her arms crossed below her white blouse, as she cutely held it secure. Earning an approval grin from Draven. Natalia giggled. "Hi" Draven sent her a generous smile. "Didn't you text me just now?" "Yes. Why, is something wrong?" Natalia said, her lashes batted in anxiousness. Draven said "No... Who wouldn't like to have your company?” Natalia said "Good" she hugged him and ended with interlocked arms. "So, where you going?" Natalia asked. Draven said "The Hunters Association" Nata
Streetlights dimmed to the awakening sky, necitizens paced the walkways, jostling in and out of the outlets; as hover cars descended and rose off the timelees city. London. He hit the button; the elevator took him to the top floor. He passed through the doors with a duffle bag on hanging below his shoulders. Entering the lobby, he steered to the reception. The receptionist beamed, overstepping the lines of professionalism. Instead of the usual honorifics. She said "Good morning, Draven" Draven arched an eyebrow, replied "Good morning. Ugh... Miss?" "Tanesha. Call me Tanesha!" She stretched out a brown hand. "Oh, Tanesha" he shook her hand. "Uh, is there anything I can help you with?" Tanesha said. Draven said "Ah, yes. I would like to register myself for the inter gym contest" "Wow, I didn't expect you to join so soon! she tapped her palm on the table. A white screen popped up, displaying the rules and statement
Outnumbered and outgunned, Draven gritted his teeth and sat down for now, as the thugs observed him like vultures locking their sights on its feeble prey. Draven scanned his surroundings, mentally marking the bouncers hidden within the crowd. The man opposite of him, leaned out of the purple neon light. Under the flickering club lights, streaks of red lights fell on his white hat and leopard print, silk shirt, unbuttoned, showed the shimmering, thick gold chain on his muscular chest, underneath his white blazer. Pairs of gold burnished rings, sparkling on his fillet fingers. He smirked, resting a hand on his chin, said "I am Misty Eyes, leader of the Night Raiders" speaking from a seat of arrogance and dominance. Draven focused his sight, coldly said "So, what do want from me?" Misty Eyes said "Nothing... by the way boy is that the way to talk to your executor..." narrowed his fierce eyes, hinting his serious threat. Draven grunted; hi
Just when time clocks in, the bell rings, the students sighed, after a stertorous maths test. Draven leisurely strolled to the cafeteria, totally unaffected like his peers. He whistled, with his hands folded behind his head. 'Hmm. What will I get? Passing grade, maybe five out of twenty or a zero.' Walking by his side, one of his classmates asked "Hey Draven, do you know the answer to question no. three?" Draven replied "Sorry, mate. I don't!" Hien said "What? If you don't know then..." Draven said "Nah. If I don't know, it doesn't mean that nobody knows? Someone must have gotten it right!" "Yeah, maybe." Dejected, Hien replied, since just like Draven, he was also outcasted by his classmates. While they walked, Hien left his side, and sat alone on the loser’s section, full of low levels. Even though Draven was a weakling, he refused to associate with them, for it was an insult to his self-esteem.
"Those bastards" swiftly he paced himself forward, fluttering his lab coat with a fierce air. The operators paused their work and made way for him while the supervisor and the captain argued. Luis stood before them with a stern face. "Ahem" He turned to Luis with a wry smile, said. "Ah, Professor" "What are you two doing? Get back to your duties. I will handle this," Luis said, and stepped in front of the controls. "Yes." The supervisor pecked his head like a hen as he retreated. "Capt. Davis, activate the defence mechanism, A-103 and code P456" "Yes, Sir" Capt. Davis said. He pulled a slide from control panel and twisted it before he punched it in. A teal light beamed around the borders. "Defence activated" While on the outside, a transparent membrane shot from thefrontof ship and converged to the end, pushing the nearby rocks away. Luis hands typed codes on screen and slammed
On a funnel of space and light creates a wondrous image, as millions and millions of extra-terrestrial bodies compete, pushing themselves past the obscurity of the distance and the darkness of the space. In a void, a silver blimp flashed through the cluster of rocks. Cannons on the sides rotated and fired. Thousands of rays converged and struck the ginormous space rock. It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one. " A finger flicked the photo across the holographic screen to the next one. Pride refracted in his jay-blues while he appraised the moment. He hummed in remembrance. A crystal cup lifted above his head, sparking brilliance between him and his team, while a girl kissed his cheek under the rain of confetti.A p
Draven honestly said. “I do want to enter one of the Big Five but I am not sure on which one”“Then I can help you” Luis cleared his throat and tossed a cube in Draven’s direction. The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br
Reading the announcement, the viewers blinked and suddenly bursted into cheers, holographic fireworks exploded in the air.Alight appearedinthe dugout, Osbornestood before them with a weak smile. "I did it!"His teammatesturned aroundand pounced,hisheadwent ditsyand Osborne fell on the bench. Dowsing their mood with a bucket of cold water. Coach said. "Guys, give him some space, he is just beat""But sir??"Coach assured them with a smile. "Don't worry, he is okay. He just needs time to recover by the time we have to go and claim the cup!""YAAYY!"Chad tugged his jacket, said "Sir, aren't you forgetting the group picture?""Oh, yeah..." Coach said, stumped by his situation, he pondered and said. "Maybe, Draven will be fine!""Yes, come one let go see Draven!!" Chad shouted, and like a mob the students pushed Coach along with them.
Draven asked."Anyway, do you guys know who won the match?""Nope, we rushed here as soon you got teleported out! I was worried something happened to you again!" Becky said."What do you mean again?" Amelia asked, clueless about the previous events since Abby didn't inform them of his situation."Its nothing" Becky shook her head."So, the match is going on?"Amelia said. "I think, before I left, Osborne was fighting that McFerreen guy."Rushed footsteps echoed within the halls. Draven shifted his gaze to the door. Arkon entered with a howl. "Hello, son!" while his family followed behind with big smiles. "Oh, my baby," a woman in an elaborate dress exclaimed and moved past her children all the way to his bed."Hi, Dad. Mom?
Next second later,light flashed,couple of bodies fell onto the bed. Emergency lights flicked around the room. Draven blinked, staring at the ceiling with one thought. "Did I win? Or did I lose?" He shifted his head to the side, the door swung open, as a team of nurses and doctors approached the beds. Draven was about to speak, a nurse said. "Doctor, this patient is in a critical condition." "Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient. "Doctor, a weird infection seems to be spreading over from his external wounds. I think he is poisoned." Grim expression, the doctor ran a hand scanner down his body."Bythe metrics
"Just do it," Draven shouted. They hesitated before they clicked forfeit. A light befell and teleported them out."Now let's fight!" Pablo flexed his gamma muscles and his feet launched himself forward with a powerful shock wave, adding cracks to the ice.In a blink of an eyes, he shot from one point with an outstretched fist. Draven dropped to a roll. A leg flew to Draven's face. Fire rocketed his soles to the sky. He swayed his sword and shot beams of energy.Pablo sprung into the air, the rays deflected off his chest and from his eyes; he shot gamma rays.Draven tilted his body away and countered with a freeze ray. Draven thought. 'I need to figure out a way to defeat him without contaminating myself.'Draven asked. "Vernon. Does life force absorption work on radio
Fire swirled around his legs, Draven stepped forward, leavingtrailsof puddles in his path. Pablo slowly picked himself. Draven stood over him, said."Pablo, face it you are finished!""I am finished?"Pablo snickeredwhilehe bendedto pick his axe and said. "How can you say I am finished when I haven't even played my next card?"Draven's eyebrows lifted in alertness, "What?" and stepped back.Poison radiated from his pores, his armour melted down to his legs, glowing a radioactive light.A sudden dread hit his core. Draven stepped back and lifted a hand to his face. Pablo radiated a blinding light. He laughed with head back, "Time for you see my full strength!"Draven ran away and shouted, "Osborne, retreat! Retreat!"&
Reaching the end of the berg, the horses neighed and jumped across the large stretch of water and continued galloping. Their bands beeped as they got closer to the Hellhound's location.Seeing figures far in the distance, Pablo grinned and drew out his axe. The others followed and drew out their weapons."Let's rush to victory!"The horses jumped across and their hooves sank in the snow. Controlling their powers, the horses galloped above the snowy water. Suddenly, ice beams sprung from the ground and struck few of them, triggering the safety system and teleported them out, leaving the rest out of formation.A beam sprung before him, Pablo reined it back, the horse lifted itself to a stop; fluttering his fur cape. Pablo signalled them to spread out, a freezing ray shot straight to him. Pablo jumped off
