Finally tho after what felt like a lifetime he was accepted into the low middle districts Godahbi guild he walked on the bustling road to the address 1013 everwood dr a secluded part of the lower mid district to the west. Jamal was in his thoughts and admired the way to the place the drive was long and winding up to the house and stopped at a very large very extravagant plaza with the guild name on front in the stone work this building was a mansion with a statue in the front the drive wrapped around and doubled back out so chauffers could drop guests off and go around the statue to leave it was huge coral colors and made of sea coral. Hey you state your business here said an elder member of the guild.Im here to join said Jamal well welcome come in and meet the master said the elder student. He had a gentle spirit but a powerful energy. The two walked in and after a few twist Jamal was in thought he liked the layout it was like a garden inside. whats your name asked the upper member he was skinney tall and looked handsome like about 23 years old and was in a white suit. Jamal what about your big bro?

Type me? said Jamal what do you mean? hahaha Boy you never learned about this stuff before let me teach ya in fact i will personally type ye myself cawed the guild master his name was boomer because he was always booming his crowlike voice and laughing away. with those words said he rose from his chair and led the way to tour the grounds as he started to explain how typing works. first we take your blood and put it in the cauldron with the essence of the griffin we can than see the type of energy you have and see how to grow your cultivation. the types are elementals who control elemental energy so this could be a fire or water type Jamal was intrigued at this. the master kept going then there are the healer types that heal and make good medics i wonder what you will be. thats just a few classes there are many. also we are now in the physical training area Jamal looked and seen thousands of disciples training he was put into training because the guild master would prepair for the bloodletting and in the meantime was always the type to change plans mid structure. Jamal was usher into a group nearest to the Boomer. Boomer called the lead of that group Lindsey come her and take him in. yes master she yelled as the group bowed down. Jamal was than left to training Lindsey might have been respectful to Boomer but Jamal was like dirt to her she was so beautiful tho but damn her first act was to literaly whoop his ass and insult him for not knowing how to fight as she kicked him around the field to the laughter of the other junior students the group was a group of five Jamal, Hector, Hon shu, Selena, and Crystal each one was very different Hector was a hot head and very jealous and arrogant he immediately had it out for Jamal than there was Hon sue was cool calm and observant Crystal was out going and aggressive. Selena was a fairy and cold all of them thought little of Jamal and Hector belittled him all the while till they had laps to run after that they were to dress out and go to the blood letting. so this was how that played out. Put your hands up and be light on your feet who taught you how to fight yelled Lindsey as she pumched Jamal in the stomach kneed his face and flipped him over Jamal was in a world of pain as he yelped as he hit the ground get up pussy yelled Hector yes Jamal was the training dummy as Lindsey demonstrated combos and attacks the more she did this the more she disdained Jamal how could a weakling like him be her burden she was always inpatient which is why Boomer picker her to teach Jamal Hon sue shook his head and kept his feelings to himself but he was honestly in different to Jamal he could care less. Crystal lapped jamal when they had to run and elbowed him calling him a loser And Selena just ignored him thinking she would never ever give him time a day. after being the last one to finish 2000 laps around the grounds which could fit 8 football fields in it was Jamal led back to the rest chambers to get ready for the ceremony he was the last student to arrive but he was not the only new student. Hon Sue led Jamal to the chambers and his squad had to bed in the same general wing the girls in one room the guys in another but literally next door as they were a squad at the ceremony they would meet the others and see the instructors. In the meantime The guild master was and instructors were discussing there students my cell is all exceptional but master why must i train this Jamal he is so worthless he has absolutely no training why is he here? Boomer laughed at Lindsey and than answered her saying have you noted how long he spent his earned money seeing as he is from the low-end to be here? Lindsey felt shamed and secretly in her heart resentful well if she was burdened with trash she would make him wash out she thought. all the students were summoned to the rite chamber and it was a huge event the guild elders sat in the upper most seats the room was candle lit with lots of seats as big as an auditorium. The students wer seated front and center with a stage they would have to go up on and get there fingers cut and bleed into the essence to get typed the one in charge of the stage action was a man named Cervantes he was a man with a long ugly scare on an otherwise handsome face he was short and in a past life he was a guard guarding merchants after growing up as a spook. he was in his 40s.
