A few hours later, the robots powered down confusing the students, when the compartment walls slid away, they understood that training was done for the day.An expression of shock appeared on everyone's face when they noticed two damaged fighter bots on the ground and one destroyed compartment."What happened here?" Williams asked."Where are Bruce and Dom?" Nolan asked."Those two" Elena mumbled."It's been a long day go get some rest, tomorrow you will be required to stay in your residence throughout the day, you can visit the friends in the same residential building but you must not under any circumstances leave the main building" Mrs Catherine explained before dismissing them."Are you sure you are alright?" Mr Thales asked."I will be fine Thales, we will need rest as well, tomorrow's going to be a long day" Mrs Catherine said before walking away.As she approached her lodge, images flashed through her mind, a young lady could be seen leading warriors on the Frontline, wrecking h
The morning met most of the workers at Alphite Industries on a good note, even though the arrival of their major sponsors and shareholders made them all a bit nervous, they were confident that their current progress would be enough to keep them happy.Mr Thales had spent the night in Mrs Catherine's Lodge and this didn't go unnoticed by the others, they whispered and murmured as both individuals walked towards Mr Thales's lodge."Don't mind them, they have too much free time on their hands that's why they have the time to gossip" Mr Thales said."I never do, thanks for staying with me last night" Mrs Catherine said."It's alright, give me a minute to change up" Mr Thales said disappearing into his lodge."Must have been an interesting night" Someone said behind her."Good morning to you too Gideon" Mrs Catherine said ignoring the comment."I always knew there something fishy with the way you hover around each other" Mr Gideon said."Let me guess, you believe you have it all figured ou
"Let me get this straight, you want us to split up and go on different dangerous missions?" Elena asked."Yeah, look if we let them escape with those inventions, who knows the horrors they will make it into, probably more mage killing devices that's for sure" Jason replied."Well, does anyone else have a better idea?" Dom asked."Looks like we are going with your plan" Elena sighed.She was of the opinion that they should firstly rescue the trapped scientists then before attempting to stop the theft but she knew there was a chance the truck would be gone by the time they were done saving the scientist."How about we just go stop the theft first then those who still have energy to fight will go rescue the trapped scientists after all they aren't going anywhere?" Bruce said suggesting a compromise."That could work" Brutus said surprising some students."Don't give me that look, we have to do what has to be done or we never go back to school again" Brutus snorted.They made their way
The scientist were too busy panicking amongst themselves to notice all three exits being pried open only when they heard two consecutive bangs from the left and right did they quiet down amongst themselves.From the left came Bruce, Dom, Jackson, Lilia and Davis. From the right appeared Elena, Jason, Mia, Elias and Bethany.A brief silence followed as most could not believe they were being saved by a bunch of academy kids.While they were still in awe the Emergency door burst open revealing Brutus, Nolan, William, Mark and Nathan."Good evening everyone, please let's gently exit the building so we can get help" Bruce announced.The scientists obliged, forming double lines they exit the building from all sides, it was then Bruce remembered something he had wanted to report, gathering with the others, they left to find Mr Thales and Mrs Catherine."Bruce, why the rush?" Dom asked as they were struggling to keep up with him."The key codes, I found a match" Dom replied."There they are"
At the crack of dawn, the extra security called in by the sponsors and shareholders had arrived along with individuals from the Military Mage Association (MMA), some individuals from the respective academies were also present.The MMA officials began questioning everyone regarding what happened, all gave account except Mr Thales, Mrs Catherine and the students, Mr Thales had insisted that Bruce be the one to share their side of the story.After a few hours of waiting, Bruce was strong enough to move about he was summoned before the MMA and the others to give account on what happened.Bruce explained to them how he got into the database, linked to the surveillance room with Elena's help, found out the faults of the camera with Dom's help, used Dom's idea to identify the culprits, used Nolan's help to avoid getting captured and rescue the others making sure to acknowledge Jackson for protecting them before they deduced a plan to stop the theft and rescue the scientist then talking to Mr
Bruce was confused by the statement, he looked around to see if anyone was laughing but they were all smiling now."It's not a prank?" He mumbled."We considered your preposition and decided not to shut down Alphite Industries, though they will have to put it a lot of hard work to gain back the people's trust" Mr Freddie announced."Seeing how you stood up for us, we decided that the least we could do to appreciate you is offer you a job here, so you can fulfill your dream of being the first mage to work at Alphite Industries" Mr Eliot said.Bruce could not believe his ears, he did it, he solved the mystery and saved the industry from being shut down, as an added bonus, he was being offered a job."But, I'm still a student, I'm not even of legal age yet" Bruce said."Yet you saved this industry twice in the last 24 hrs, we have given you the role of virtual consultant on intelligence gathering so you can still focus on school and as for your salary, we have created an account in your
The next day, Brandon met with Miss Silver to continue his rune drawing training."Looks like you know how to access soul energy in the environment now" Miss Silver said."Yes but, I have a question" Brandon said."Okay, ask your question" Miss Silver said."What's the difference between Soul force and soul energy?" Brandon asked."I didn't know you had an idea about soul force but the difference is soul force and soul energy is access, soul force can be used by the supernatural alone but soul energy can be used by both supernatural and natural though only advanced mages" Miss Silver replied."I could just as easily have told you that, if you had asked me" Ian said."Sounds like someone is jealous" Brandon said."I am not" Ian replied."This is a book on basic elemental Genesis runes, it might take you a while to learn them but it will be worth it" Miss Silver said handing him an old book."Now, the strength of a rune depends on the strength of the person drawing it, when you master
"And that's everything that happened while you were gone" Brandon concluded."Nice, so you are like a rune master now" Bruce said."Not really, Miss Silver said I still have a lot to learn about runes" Brandon replied."Well, don't worry, I am sure you will master it soon" Bruce said."Thanks bro" Brandon said.The next morning, Bruce was woken up by the sound of running water, he looked over at Alec who was doing some morning pushups."It's a little early for a shower" Bruce muttered.He decided to go for a jog around the school. Since it was a weekend, there were a lot of students outside but those that were couldn't help but whisper as Bruce jogged past them.The news of his deeds at Alphite Industries had spread all over the school like wildfire, even the 2nd and 3rd years had heard about it.Some looked at him with adoration while others like Brutus looked at him with envy and jealousy, he was expecting to receive some form of recognition even though he didn't make any major con
