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.

    As they step through they found themselves in different regions, Team Leo and Levi landed on polar regions on separate planets while Nicholas and Bruce found themselves in a metropolitan area.__________Team Levi______________It was a snowy terrain and not a single shelter in sight, there were a few mountains around which Brandon assumed they would be heading for to find some shelter."First thing is finding shelter right ?" Brandon asked."Correct, let's find an uninhabited cave" Levi replied.There made their way to the closest mountain, it was deep and smelt like decomposing bones."Nope, definitely not, do you know why?" Levi asked."Smells like a wild breast's leftover in here" Brandon replied."Good I will skip the survival tutorial for beginners then" Levi said.They made their way to the next cave which wasn't deep but seemed to not have been used by any beast, they set up camp there."Stay here I will be right back, I will be back in ten minutes" Levi said.Brandon did as he

    Once they made camp, Brandon sat opposite the camp fire looking at Levi who still hadn't said anything."Are you really that pissed?" Brandon asked."What wouldn't I be? you were helping the enemy, we could have died" Levi yelled."Woah, calm down, they obviously defected from the enemy side or possibly never were on the enemy side" Brandon replied."Oh so now you are an expert on the foreign race, I have lost friends, family to elves just like these" Levi said."And so you decided to hate all elves for that, tell me something, if a human being stole or took someone from you, would you hate all humans?" Brandon asked."What are you saying? this isn't about humans, this is about the foreign race" Levi yelled."You are right, it's about how for generations, individuals from both sides have been raised with hatred against each other for sins some of their ancestors committed that got generalized on them all, if you can't hate all of them for the action of a few, stop being so narrow mind

Nicholas asked."Yeah, it's amazing, I wish there were places like this back home" Bruce replied."Well, the world's getting there, we should check in at our accommodations" Nicholas said."Accomodations?" Bruce asked confused."I know, you were expecting that we would have to fend for ourselves but we are brains, the others are brawns, besides, we are in a city even if we had to, we could still get a place to stay" Nicholas said.Bruce went with him to a hotel called Electro Villa, they got a room to put their things."When you are done sorting out your things, let's go sight seeing" Nicholas replied."You are making this feel more like a vacation than a mission" Bruce said."Don't be a buzz kill, w

    ___________Team Leo_____________Leo and Alec found themselves at the top of a snowy mountain, looking around, Alec could see a town settlement in the distance."What exactly are we supposed to be looking out for?" Alec asked."The reports didn't specify what exactly was seen, it just said big and scary, apparently it was seen by a group of teens with low description skills" Leo replied."Ouch, go easy on them" Alec said."We need to find a place to set up camp " Leo said.They made their way down the mountain as Leo had an issue with making camp high in the mountains so Alec suggested they walk to the settlement close by.When they got to the town, they made their way to the security headquarters where the report was sent from."Good evening sir, we are here from Blue River Academy concerning the sightings of unknown creatures" Leo said."Right, the head officer will be with you shortly" The receptionist replied.Five minutes later, a man came to them, seemingly in his late 40s and e

Leo went up next, his report caused a frown on the faces of everyone listening."But that was a human claimed planet" a man by the name Major General Collin grim said."Calm yourself sir, the last pair you may present your report" General Val Anita said.Major General Collin didn't appreciate being shushed by a woman, but being his superior in office he couldn't only hide his frown.The room was thrown into further confusion after Levi and Brandon gave thier report."Raid, have the elves moved to the ice fortress, we will need to make sure they are telling the truth" General Val said."There seems to be a lot of secret movements amongst the foreign races" Colonel James said."We will have to level up our security, I suggest more soldiers be

    After claiming the weapons, Bruce and Brandon walked back out of the respective rooms, hoping to thank the Sphinxes before leaving, but found the temple entirely empty."Where could they have gone?" Brandon asked."A better place, I hope" Bruce replied as he noticed the heaps of sand where the Sphinxes previously stood."Well, we have what we came here for; let's go,", Brandon said, swinging the staff by his side."Yeah, everything about the weapon feels worth it, even the design". Bruce said, admiring the intricate blue carvings that formed diagrams of every lightning-wielding supernatural; Brandon's staff had a similar look, the only difference being that his had fire-wielding supernatural with a beautiful red hue in addition to the orange colour.Noticing a new door, the pair stepped through to find themselves in a large hallway with drawings and writings of alien origin on both sides of the wall."Looks like an origin story of some sort," Bruce said."The drawings are so life-like

    As they flew through the night skin, curtains of light appeared in the sky, like the northern lights back on Earth but more prominent and heading in a particular direction."The Aurora borealis" Came a slight whisper from Bruce."You are awake, how are you feeling?" Brandon asked."Better than I should, where's Nicole?" Bruce said."He's flying behind us" Brandon replied."Flying? Oh my!!!" Bruce exclaimed gripping unto Brandon tight as he looked down."Relax, I have got you," Brandon said."Right, will we be able to make it in one night?" Bruce asked."I don't know" Brandon sighed.They flew for a few more hours, following the trail of light. There were a few occasional screeches and growls from below, but none could reach them; disappointed expressions appeared on their faces as the sun peeped from behind the sandy mountains."We should continue on foot. You guys can rest your wings, and I sort of need to take the piss", Bruce said.Spreading his senses around the areas, he landed,

Brandon asked."They understand my reasons, these are tough times and a lot of kids your age come out here in hopes of finding something to help them make a living, most never return, I myself have witnessed too many young deaths to count, it's why we offer our protection to young mercenaries without having them joining us" Harvey explained."Thank you, that's very kind of you; we will see you around,", Brandon said."Hey Harvey, should we follow t

Brandon asked Nicole one afternoon."Yeah, besides, I wouldn't be able to find the other thunderbirds , if they are still thunderbirds out there" Nicole replied."Brandon, I need to talk to you" Ian said."Leaving the dimensional space, he found himself in the empty space with Ian."There's a weapon you need to find" Ian said."Now??"

Isabella asked."It's Alec" Came her brother's voice."Come in" Isabella said."When do you want to go see mum and dad?"
