*Knock Knock*
Someone was at the door. Thaleus was excited for the first time in his life he would be leaving Pento. He had vigourously trained the whole week completing his daily quests religiously. His Weekly Quest now said
push ups 600/700
sit-ups 600/700
squats 600/700
run 35 miles 30/35
quest rewards: 10 skill points, 30 exp, instant level up
He knew that he had to get stronger because Military school students were on a whole new level of strong. For now he still knew he had to hide his abilities. For even though other abilities may be powerful he had never heard of anyone who could manipulate time. He opened the door surprised to see two gentlemen in military uniform who couldnt be more than 3 years older than himself. He knew military school was three years, but would they really send students to pick up new recruits?
"Good Morning gentlemen, come on in." He answered the door warmly. The two stepped inside.
"Is this the residence of Thaleus Cramo?"
"Yes sir, that would be me."
"We will be takin you to military base 6. Do you have everything you need?"
"Yes, sir" Thaleus patted his bag before slinging it over his shoulder. He didnt have much just a few changes of clothes. He knew that they would show up early so he was going to finish his daily quests after the new recruit testing. He was confident about his standings and new found powers.
"Follow us, we have a vehicle waiting."
Thaleus followed them to an impressive looking tank like truck it had enough space for about forty troopers and ran on basic beast crystals. Mostly everything in their world was powered by beast crystals. Those who had no abilities also became stronger by making gear and weapons with these crystals. It was the only thing that helped them semi keep up with ability users.
There were already about 20 people in the back of the vehicle. Thaleus hopped up amd greeted everyone. some recognized him and gave him a look of disgust.
"Ugh, we have to have this weakling on the same truck as us?" As he walked towards an open seat he was tripped by a dark purple haired boy with blue eyes. "Remember me bitch?" It was Johnny Triumph.
"Fuck, does this mean we'll be taking the test around the same time? Even with my new strength I doubt i can compete with some of these guys. I bet even his minions look tough." Thaleus gritted his teeth and sat down in silence, keeping his eyes down to avoid anymore unneccesary attention.
"LISTEN UP EVERYBODY!" One of the two that knocked on Thaleus's door had opened a slide into the trucks cockpit. "MY NAME IS TERRANCE PARSON I WILL BE YOUR PLATOON GUIDE! YOU WILL MEET WITH YOUR PLATOON LEADER WHEN WE GET TO BASE! LEARN HOW TO GET ALONG THESE 19 PEOPLE TO YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT WILL BE SHARING THE SAME CLASSES WITH YOU! THROUGHOUT YOUR TIME AT MILITARY BASE 6 YOU WILL VBE USING A POINT SYSTEM TO COMPETE AGAINST THE OTHER CLASSES OF NEW RECRUITS! IS THIS UNDERSTOOD?!"
"SIR, YES SIR!" Everyone yelled back with no hesitation.
"Fuck, so now im really gonna be having a rough time at least half of these guys and girls will be giving me hell throughout three years." Thaleus was in turmoil now cursing his new ability because he would have to hide his true potential so as not to draw unwanted attention from greedy eyes.
"excuse me" a shorter girl with dark red hair and hazel eyes tapped him on the shoulder. "My name is Alice Richards. I thought maybe you and I could be friends since we'll be going to school together for the next few years."
Thaleus was taken aback but he quickly recovered saying "I would love to be friends with you."
Alice's eyes lit up "Awesome well these two are also friends of mine." she pointed at a stocky boy with black hair and green eyes he was about 5'8 and built like a tank "Hey, im Derek Felton"
The other boy had green hair and brown eyes he looked a bit timid and managed to say "Morning Im Kip Talon"
"Nice to meet you I'm Thaleus Cramo. I hope we all can be good friends." without a doubt in his mind Thaleus knew that Alice was probably the strongest of the four of them he knew the lightning Richards and how strong and rich their family was. Maybe this wouldnt be so bad after all.
Then he got excited "Maybe if we all become good enough friends I could tell them about my ability!" He thought
"I would highly advise against that unless you can 100% trust that they can keep your secret Thaleus." Doms reply startled Thaleus
"Wait you can actually interact with me outside of the systems parameters?" Thaleus asked.
"Of course I can. Im supposed to be your guide on your way to unlocking the full system." Dom retorted. "Just think of me as your console with anything and everything related to the system along with giving some friendly advice."
"Well i guess i have to gain their trust then. I don't want to have to hide my abilities in front of friends."
Thaleus resigned himself to small talk with his new friends on the way to the military base. His weekly quest completion would be finished after the testing stages when he could finally complete his final daily quest. Unfortunately this would mean that he would still look very weak during the testing period. Thaleus looked at his stats drooling at was to come.
