"Let's all rise as we sing the national anthem!"
"All hail, the glorius, the gifted, the blessed Union. Bring glory by victories and hone our people's strength. Stand as the top and fly high in the blue sky..."
After the national anthem, the dean of the school gave his long opening speech for the beginning of the new school year. As it is a new school year, Liam, being the first year representative also gave a speech.
At the sight of Liam giving a speech, many girls shouted and screamed his name.
"Everyone, I am pleased to be here in front of you speaking as as the representative for all freshman and transferres. Aways aim at the top and soar high. Do not lose heart and trust your skills. Eventually, things will turn for the better..."
Liam continued his speech even in the middle of noise created by all the girls shouting his name and their affection.
Even being the center of attention, Liam could keep his calm. Speaking very well in front of many indeed is a good trait and example. Talking about future profession, challenges and trials that will test their will and capabilities, he delivered them to the people coherently. Audible and very easy to understand.
After conducting the speech, the professors lead all the new students to the examination room, to determine all the classes. The Kingdom Special Colleges is known to have this kind of tradition.
They examine their students on the entance ceremony to divide them according to their level of knowledge. This type of tradition was accepted by the whole country as it helps and motibates students to aim higher and in this method they would not discriminate between the rich and poor.
After being guided to the examination rooms, the students were given the exact exam papers each. Twenty pages in which all known subjects and branch subjects are included. Forty wide rooms are used housing about 50 students each with two proctors each watching the students answer the answer sheets. The exam began at twelve o'clock and concluded at seven o'clock in the evening. This level of examination alone is difficult as each questions are made by known professors at that time.
However this was just a piece of cake to the T3G. Of course, the one who took the test and finished as the earliest was the person known as Liam Blake. It was so easy for him that he even took a long nap and overstayed to be with the others.
Waiting outside the room. Liam saw both his friends walking out the door always wearing a happy face and living so carefree.
"Oh. Hey Liam! How was the entrance examinations? Of course you did great aren't you. Hehehe. Well, I guess I wasted my time asking. We all know the answer. Hahaha"
Don asks Liam about the exam but later he shrugged it off as de did not have a reason asking about it as he can't imagine Liam failing an exam.
"So Liam, what do you plan to do after today. I'm sure you have something to do. Am I right?" Kent being next to them asks Liam while walking towards the exit of the school.
"No. Nothing. I will just go roam around the city. I want to find something interesting."
'The truth is I am going to accomplish the three tasks given to me so I can escape this miserable way of living. I can't even be myself. I also qant lo live my life as I wanted.'
"Sigh" Liam took a deep breath as he let all his frustrations go along with the wind. And he immediately dismissed the problem and drove to the city.
Parking his car in the parking lot near the Municipal Hall, he got out wearing different clothes. He now wore a black longsleeve with white quadrilaterals at its design. White denim pants and wore a plain dark blue shoes.
Walking on the street he met a boy playing alone with his rubiks cube. He let him passed and continued his way.
After roaming around the city about an hour, he saw the little boy alone in the park. The boy wore a simple black t-shirt along with his blue pants looking as plain as the emotion on the boy's face.
Liam, with nothing to do, approached the boy and sat beside him in the swing.
Approached by the awkward moment Liam stood and walk in front of the boy. He leaned down and look at him in the eye. The boy responded with a serious look and glared at him.
"Hey! Kid!" Liam talked to the boy looking for something that can tell his origin.
The boy only looked at him.
"Say kid. If I give you chocolate, will you talk to me."
The boy looked at him and nodded. He looked like he never ate for a day with a glint in his eyes and a drool on his lips.
Liam went to the nearest opened convenience store. He bought a bag full of chocolates and even bought some toys for the kid to play with.
He returned to the boy and saw him swinging in swing for a moment before stopping. He saw Liam approach near him and stood. He ran towards him and stopped in front looking at the bag full of sweets.
He loooked at Liam with puppy eyes and took a chocolate bar. He ran back to the the park, sat quietly and began eating. He made a mess with his face that became a chocolate face mask excluding the eyes.
Liam laughed at the sight of him and walked towards him. He brought his handkerchief and removed the dirt in his face.
After eating heartily. He looked at Liam and thanked him.
"Kid, do you have a family?"
"Uhm. Mister I have a mother and I'm waiting for her here in the park. She said she'd come back before six."
"I'm sorry to say this boy but I don't think your mother will return."
The news didn't make the boy cry and it surprised Liam at that thought.
"You see mister, I have already realized that. I'm smart enough to know that but she's the only family I have."
"Say, do you want me to be your new famiy?"
The boy looked shocked, he never thought someone would blatantly say that kind of thing.
