Chapter 2 - How (not) to get a cenit

I suddenly became tense, I had trouble concentrating and I started to sweat a lot. I was pretty nervous while approaching the place of destiny. I knew today would have changed my life drastically. We entered according to our class placements and the thought of getting a cenit made the rate of my heart go about 1 million mph as we were waiting to enter.

I thought to myself what a guy like me will do with a good cenit anyway. I would probably waste it on a guy that isn't all that smart and bad at athletics and if you didn't realize that's me. To think I was excited a few minutes ago to get a cenit.

"Next group to get their cenits are Shu Fuji, Shinku Garasu and Sarah Hajime", announced by Mr. Han. As we approached the cenit station I started to think about what cenit I would receive, would it be the power of invisibility or something like telepathy, it kept me guessing.

We stand in front of three individual cenit stations. We all put our hands into the cenit stations' mineral infuser. " I'm gonna turn the power on", said Mr. Han. " This tickles!", Sarah exclaimed. I suddenly felt all the blood in my body circulating through my veins and at that instant, Mr. Han said, "Please remove your hands from the cenit station". The cenit station had started it's analyzing phase and the cenit station that I used decided to malfunction before telling me my cenit and it exploded.

I had gotten knocked out by the explosion and rushed to the hospital but I was not the one to get severely injured but the people surrounding me did. They were three major casualties which were Sarah, Shu, and Mr. Han, the rest were minor injuries. I was surprised when I realized I was alive and nothing major happened except for some burns and cuts but not any major blood loss. I just appeared hurt.
