Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 The Rejects

Luck and Yuki head out, and pass by the soldiers standing guard out in front of their neighbors room without any obstruction.

Yuki takes Lucks arm as the two travel to the cadets classroom to meet with a certain lieutenant Kiera. As they progress to their destination there are soldiers and ship crew members all over wearing a variety of different uniforms passing the duo by in the walkways. All these people, he hadn't seen before today. This is the hour where everyone normally headed off to do their respective jobs, he notes.

Checking the time on the PFED it was currently 4:50am. If this was before in his past life, Luck would be half dead at this hour after staying awake all night. This reminded him of where he came from and that improved his mood considerably.

Arriving at the designated location which was just a small classroom at 4:58, Luck hears a female voice that he recognized.

"Your both late, from now on make sure you show up 15 minutes prior." Lieutenant Kiera says

As fate would have it, the lilac haired women with hazel eyes and vertical pupils who's life he had saved was the one scolding him right now. Standing at 5'8 (1.72m), with her hair pulled back into a neat ponytail, and her cadet uniform on, she was quite attractive Luck thought.

The only other person here was the blond haired guy from the testing chamber, Luck recalled.

"We are still waiting on one more, but while we wait I'll explain some of the things you're probably thinking about." Kiera says while pointing to 2 seats at a large round metal table.

Once Luck and Yuki take a seat, Kiera begins her explanation.

"First off, I have been recently assigned as your squad leader, currently there are 4 of us in total but we should gain 2 more members in the next month. From now on you will report to me here at 0500 every day. I will be in charge of training you new recruits and assigning roles in our team."

Lieutenant Kiera then begins to send Luck and Yuki a few training manuals and other things along with her contact information with her PFED.

"For now, your going to be limited to classroom work. At the end of the week there will be a test covering everything I just sent to you, I know it's not fair since you both are starting late but, your just going to have to study harder to catch up. Any questions?"

Yuki had already finished scanning all of it and was currently transferring the information to Luck slowly, so it wouldn't shock him. As she wasn't confident he had enough control over his psychokinesis just yet, she didn't want him to react on instinct to being zapped and accidentally kill everyone in the room. Also he already knew most everything and in a few minute he would know the rest, so there wasn't a real need to force feed him the info all at once.

Before Luck could ask a question, a large dwarf enters the room that he instantly recognized as Mark.

"Your late again, also you look like shit and I can smell you from here. 100 push-ups. Then fix your uniform." Lieutenant Kiera tells him.

"Oi, what crawled up your arse? Fuck your push-ups and fuck this uniform. I'm late because this piece of shit uniform ripped on me." Mark exclaims while showing her that he had busted the stitching out of the arms and turning around the back of it was ripped as well.

Mark then catches site of Yuki and Luck and makes his way over to them with a goofy grin on his face and takes the seat next to Yuki, while completely ignoring the lieutenant and her command.

Apparently Yuki didn't want him sitting next to her, as she got up quick as lightning and took a seat in Luck's lap. To which Luck just wrapped his arms around her waist giving her a hug. He was thoroughly amused by her reaction.

Lieutenant Kiera seeing Yuki using Luck as a chair, orders her to take a seat of her own and gives Mark a blistering string of curses about him not following commands. Yuki however completely ignored Kiera with a smug look on her face that made Mark burst out laughing at the situation.

"Fine, if you don't want to follow orders willingly. I'll just have to make you listen." Lieutenant Kiera is now red in the face at having 2 people ignore her and shes infuriated by Marks laughter combined with the smug look on Yuki's face.

Luck feels the air become charged with energy as Lieutenant Kiera gathers her power and a fiery rift appears beside her. A intense wave of heat and the smell of brimstone floods the room the moment it appears.

Looking into the rift, its a hellish landscape of scorched earth, fire and lava. A moment later 2 female shaped elementals emerge with burning red skin and glowing embers for eyes with fire for hair. After the two emerge the rift closes like it was never there at all, only the fiery women and the smell of brimstone is left as evidence of what just happened.

Thinking he was seeing 2 demons from hell enter the room, Luck wasn't the least bit concerned about the scene in front of him. Thanks to his nanosuit and a small force field made of mental energy he couldn't feel the heat at all.

"Oh you want to have a go do ya? Fine let's play!" Mark bellows as he transforms himself into a 3 meter tall black scaled giant.

Grabbing ahold of the fiery woman Mark lifts her into the air with ease, seemingly unfazed by the flames burning all over her. In response the woman becomes enraged, the small flames burning around the woman's body transform into a bonfire, burning over a meter high and the chairs in the room are now starting to catch on fire by the close proximity to her.

Meanwhile the one closest to Yuki and Luck hasn't taken a single step forward yet thanks to Luck suppressing her movement. Lieutenant Kiera has a frantic expression on her face as parts of her uniform are starting to catch on fire and so is the ends of her hair.

Sensing that things were getting out of control, Luck watches as Yuki does a subtle twist with her hand and both the fiery women's heads are cleanly separated from their bodies. After a few seconds both the bodies become dim and turn to ash, leaving only a small dull red rock behind.

Taking stock of the situation, Mark was completely covered in dust, the blond guy who Luck hadn't been introduced to yet had casually moved far away and showed no reaction. The lieutenant was also covered in soot and ash with a frantic look on her face while patting herself down. Luck still has Yuki in his lap with his arms around her. The room itself was rather trashed and some of the chairs are smoking.

*What was that exactly?*

[System - Your squad leader is a moron, apparently she's a summoner type]

*What about the 2 things she summoned? How did you behead them and can we use them for energy?*

[System - I used a oscillating mono-molecular thread for the elementals. As far as their soul energy goes it's in those red stones left behind, we just need to grab them and I can extract it later.]

Using his Psychokinesis Luck quickly pulls the 2 stones to him without anybody noticing and stores them in his pocket.

Mark was returning to his normal form, cursing at the Lieutenant for costing him yet another uniform.

Clearing her throat loudly, Lieutenant Kiera is now acting like nothing had just happened. "We have two new members to the squad. This is Luck and he's a healer and that's his twin sister Yuki, and she's a technomancer." Lieutenant Kiera introduces them.

"The smelly half naked one is Mark and he's a shifter, and the one in the corner over there is Oliver and he's a augmented soldier. As for me I am a summoner."

"Now that introductions are over and you all have your relevant course material, study on your own and we can go over any questions later. You are all to meet back here at 1300." With that lieutenant Kiera dismissed the group and leaves in a rush.

Mark hurried off to chase her and Luck can hear him yelling at her to slow down along with a lot of cursing about how she owes him a new uniform.

"Don't mind them, they are both idiots. Ever since they met, those two fight on a daily basis, you'll get used to it." Oliver comes over and explains.

Seeing Oliver up close he's a fairly plan guy about 6'2 (1.88m) in height. Has a head full of sort of spikey blond hair, blue eyes with a lanky build. Age wise Luck estimated him to be in his early 20s.

"Welcome to the rejects." Oliver says and then leaves the room as well.
