Moments later I wake up seated in a plane like structure , with all kinds of People, Old and Young, Tall and small, Humans, Moddies, Changelings and Morphos.
An Enthusiastic voice filled the room.
"Welcome Aboard Freshman!!!, This is Agean Teleportal Airways, 3 more hours until we Begin travelling, so please do not be afraid to interact with your seatmate for they will be your dormates for the rest of your stay in Agean"
It was a seat of two by twos, so I was paired with someone.
Please be a Human, Please be a human...
I looked to my side and see a sleeping guy that looks alot like my age. I decided to snoop around him to see if he has any disernable traits and it seems to be no. A Human may be a Amplice just dont let it be a Changeling Oh god.
To be honest its not that I hate Changelings and everything that Branchout of that cycle, its just that If I were to compare my old man to His species through deductive reasoning im sure theyre gonna judge me.
Plus the only thing applicable to me in the academy is that im sort of good in Augmentation and Repairs, but even so my old man is more fitting to be here. Even i once and a while switch up Screws and Nails.
I might just need to deceive anyon-
"Your Not Kreist aren't you?"
I looked to where the voice was coming from, Its the Guy seating next to me who had already woke up. Now that ive stared at him for a long pause his actually quite attractive, looks that would actually rival a Bishounen, And hell come on god why won't you just give me the amplice power of Attractiveness I mean this guy over here has it for free.
"Hey, You okay, You here bud?"
The guy had a charming smile, his words snapped me back to reality.
"Oh, wait No!!, Wait How do you no Im not The Ol- imean Kreis!!"
I struggled to reply.
"You dont look that old and the Confidants noted me about the request of Kreist was to Let his Apprentice administer his Position as a student"
Ohh well shit
"Yeah The old man said he was too old for this kind of things, but he didn't even told me that it was going on today, Its just a shock. People were also firing at us like crazy and-"
He cut me off once again Huff
"Well your not alone brother, many of us are hunted just because we have an invitation. Invites are precious and when a person open the black box given to us anyone opening it will be transported here, no matter who the person is even if the person invited wasn't the one who opened the invite and got transported"
I was in Disbelief, thats why The old man is being hunted. I asked something to him.
"What about us Are we in danger too?"
"Nope, Mother said Agean has the highest most Security in any continent since the National Government establish this as an island in which no country owns it and by then every country needs to cultivate a part of their time into it."
He really knows this stuff huh. Well A handsome guy with an abruptly weird fashion sense, Is he going to a vacation? Red Shorts, An open polo and underneath is a longsleeve shirt. Well his kinda weird but I wont judge he's quite cute and smart.
"Oh um, Im Symon Cowarice"
His introducing himself to me, why does it makes me laugh.
"Bffff, Ghahahahah"
"Hey is-"
Shoot I didn't mean to laugh out loud I gotta apologize.
"No, Nonono Im sorry Im sorry for laughing it, Its just..."
He was confused.
"Just what?"
"Your Cute"
Yooooo Im brave!!!! But even so he is. Look at that he's blushing ahahaha.
A faint silence Grew after that, It was awkward.
"Alba Schrodinger"
"Huh, What?"
"Alba Scrodinger, is my name"
I introduced myself as I looked through the window, as I see where we are, The plane is still in stasis as a grassy meadow flood the land and clear skies up above, I wonder where we really are?.
"Umm, Nice to meet you Alba. And to say your really cute too"
Oh wait, oh no he knows how to throw back daggers too shoot.
"Welp seems like this is a fateful encounter Mr Symon..... Well now that we know each other, Could you tell me more about the academ-"
What's with the system of things and that I some how got cut off more than two times this day.
The Enthusiastic voice from earlier spoke again.
"Since All the Invitees had arrived early we will know depart with 2 and a half hour early departure, Please enjoy our 18 hour Flight"
Well considerable that the planes location is Confidential, and not that this is the only plane going to Agean, 18 hours is a really long journey.
"Umm Alba what where you saying before the announcement?"
Symon asked
"Oh could you tell me more about the academy I dont know much about it, I only know that its as big as a city and is for those who are scouted by the Klepsydra"
I continued my question from before. He thought really deeply for a moment and then spoke.
"Yup basically you know what I know really, A manmade island, Academy for any age, any species and formidable potential. And the system here is that you get to pick your own classes, 2 in after breakfast 3 after Lunch and an optional Afternoon class That can be a repeated subject on that day. All the subjects being in a wide selection, No subjects must have more than 5000 students a day And no Subjects must be repeated on a row of hour and a collumn of day, Like a schedule sudoku, with this system they encourage a schedule selecting classes without repetition, well except for the afternoon classes."
Well I might have an Idea for why the Afternoon classes are Optional but it seems Symon has a better grasps of things.
I responded
"That makes sense"
He continued.
"Afternoon classes are a High Risk High Reward System thats why its optional. At the end of every year A Validity Checklist will be given to you, your teachers will evaluate you on how much you have improve over the span of the year in that class, they either have the option To Give you a Check or a Cross more than 10 Crosses and Your out of Agean Academy, but theres a seperate score tha justifies sucess even if you did get beyond 10 Crosses, Capability is the score in which a common consensus will judge you based on how you use your wits in the schedule sudoku."
I Knew it, i responded accordingly.
"Oh i get it, If you want to gain a better chance in passing you should either do a Repeated subject in the afternoon, or not take the afternoon class at all, to Make the chance higher in passing or Make the chances lower in failing, And if you do seperate subjects with your Afternoon classes you'll be recognize and be given a much more higher score in Capability."
He was suprised on how I got the grasp of things quickly
"Yup, Yah got the gist of it really fast I applaud you for that."
I smiled.
"Wanna be friends Alba?"
Well Thats fortunate, To be fair I honestly think he is just a really cool Amplice, a smart one too.
"Sure!! just call me Al and if you don't mind Imma just call you Sy"
Somewhat I really like using really short nicknames, it just rolls off the tounge pretty quickly
Sy had a pleasant grin on his face and responded.
"Sy it is, Well Al tell me about yourself."
Might as well ride with it, It's a long journey up in here, But im worried about the old man, not that I don't trust him and how he can escapd any danger but his Worldwide Teleporter mainly used for our deliveries, can teleport him anywhere but from time to time he forgets where he'd put it.
"Oh um, Im an Orphan, 16 years old I got a job at An Aug Shop. My Mentor had ro replace himself with me because of things beyond control and thats it!"
He had a smirk in his face, lemme guess his not buying the short story.
"Al, you know we have more than 10 hours ahead of us so just let it out."
Sy had a calm tone in his voice, Im pissed i didn't make him go first.
"Well okay, Im an Amplice A kinda..... Well the point is I still dont know what my Power is and what it could be, My Old man always said never try to force it out so i never did. I want to grow up as someone who can leave a really large footprint in the world a really good footprint."
My voice came from annoyed to becoming somewhat sad, Well its all true just a boy powerless to fates desire and in abrupt irony chained to the evergrowing tree of time as it ascends forwards it dooms me further.
"Ill be crippled in two years If I still havent discoveres my powef yet"
My eyes had struck Sy as if he had just struck an arrow through an apple.
"Pure red, Pure white I just noticed your eyes.... your really an Amplice"
His eyes flickered a glow as his cold hand held my chin nearing my eyes to his.
"Its a spectacle to see beautiful eyes like yours Al.... Its as if your hypnotizing me"
His words were playing with me, Is this the thrill of love?
His forehead touched mine and closed his eyes and leaned forward.... Is he trying to kiss me!?
"Umm hey Sy I havent brush yet since yesterday, and yes i like boys, you seem to like boys too, but a kiss isn't something that starts a relationship okay?"
Im sorry Sy I have to friendzone you, T-T I had to Friendzone the first hot guy ive ever encountered whos into me.
"Oh sorry Al, I-i didn't mean it like that, nevermind just forget that happened. Mom always said that if you love something take a chance to heave them as close to your lips as possible, before anybody takes a bit of it"
Sy is cute and all but I think he is getting his understanding of his moms sayings wrong.
"Umm I think she meant that you should eat your food, Before someone or something eats it."
I responded, He looks dumbfounded and had a bit of a realization.
"AHHHHH!!, Im sorry Al, I tried to sexually harrass my first friend!!"
A grim look diminished his Happy expression, as he tries to apologize, I can see his snot nosed nature coming back as he distanced himself from me, just a bit since our seats really restrains us from doing much distancing
Well its not sexual harrasment if i enjoyed it buuuutt....
I stared at him amazed at how the quick change from him being romanticly serious to his overly frantic self.
"Sy, No... Its okay. Come on aren't we friends, and moments like this are natural or so i think. But anyways, Won't you tell me about yourself Sy?"
He got the message, a moment of him thinking passed for a minute as his eyes met mine and his mouth began to move.
"So Im just an Amplice, a Normal amplice... My Stepmom is a Morpho and my Dad is a Human, I was born with the power to make light out of my own hands, But Its quite difficult and takes a lot of my energy to do. A-And I never knew who my real mom was but I think she's a human too...."
He's really struggling to tell it huh.
"Hey, Its okay if you don't Continue. I won't force you k?"
I cut him off with an earnest request to not force himself.
"Sure Al..... But im just going to say that Im 17 years old and has experience in Chemistry and has a thorough understanding of the worlds Biological Warfare."
His stern look became a grin after he spoke, His older than me and atleast my wishes of him being an amplice has been fulfilled, thank god.
It was afternoon, Dinner was served as holograms transported a meal of our choosing into a Table that had automatically folded into our laps. Sy was salivating as if he was a dog that hadn't eaten for years. He ate like a ravenous wolf that knows how to use a spoon and fork, The plate had been cleaned as Sy had finished his food in just 3 minutes. He looked at me with a stain in his mouth, must be sauce.
His face had a fulfilling Look and asked me.
"Huff* Im stuffed, I haven't eaten like this since my last birthday"
Me still eating a delicous meal of Adobo Responded
"Hey... you have something on your cheek"
I responded to him, As he wiped it with his sleeve.
"Oh Thanks"
I can't imagine him as a really talented Amplice really, Why was he invited here? Not that I think he does not deserve being in the academy but Maybe his backround knowledge on the things he mentioned earlier might have been a factor..... Nevertheless if i would have judge Sy by his Intentions, Actions and Tone, I would percieve him as a Really down to earth kind of guy. His awkward at times but he is smarter than what he thinks he is, Him overthinking things is his best weapon i think. In serialization ironically Im overthinking things.
I finished my dish as I see through the window that the sun had set. The calmness of the sky had already struck Sy as he was sleeping. My head recounted all the things that had happenned today.
It was all a shock.
I feel a deep regret for not just staying with the old man and letting him force me to take his place. Tears had flown to my eyes before realizing my old man's true intention...
