Today was the day when I was going to attend the classes for the first time as a new start. Not as a weakling anymore. I was happy walking down my hallway.
"Oh fuck this shit!"
"Huh? Who is that? Sounds like a girl? But why would a girl curse someone so loudly?" I walked to the hallway's end and saw someone arguing and cursing someone.
"You are really fucking- this school ah! I had a bad feeling about this fucking school,"
"See ma'am please mind your language," A man told the girl who was cursing.
I ran closer to them to check what was going on. There I saw a warden… and yet another beauty talking with- or cursing the warden.
"W- what is wrong? Can I help you?" I asked the warden.
"Nothing. Just move on, Ryan,"
"You sure? I mean she seems really angry-" I glanced at the girl. She was staring at me with pissed-off stares or you are disturbing stares.
"I will handle this. Your system seems to have made a mistake with her admission, you can move on. Go gather in the auditorium,"
"Yeah. If you say so, I will get going," I kept glancing at her while walking forward.
They continued arguing. So yeah we were supposed to gather in the auditorium cause the Principal had something important to discuss.
I sang a song as I walked to the auditorium. I didn't talk with Erin this morning. After I had that dream about her I just- uh I just didn't want to talk with her.
I entered the auditorium. It was half empty. There were not as many students as I expected there to be. There were students standing in the auditorium forming lines.
I also thought about joining the line and wait for Mr. Atkinson to come. I lined up. At last spot in the line.
I just moved my eyes around the auditorium. I spotted Gwen and Pete lines away from me. They were like on the other end of the auditorium. They didn't saw me looking at them.
"Good morning, students! I welcome everybody present here. I am Johan Atkinson the principal of WN Academy of Superpowers," He came at last. He through one end of the stage to the center of the stage.
I saw Mr. Steve walking behind Johan sir, he stopped right behind Mr. Johan.
"We have second and third-grade students present here, I have asked you all to gather here for a special occasion,"
Students started whispering about something. Johan sir coughed a few times to get everyone's attention. The room became silent.
"We here like we do every year are going to make class units. Class A and Class B, every student will soon have their own team unit in which they will be trained,"
Everyone was happy, they just sound happy.
"First, the third-grade students, they have been here for one whole year now. They fought against other students to increase their Trait level. Then we have second-grade students who have just joined the school after the festival. They have done their best to increase their Trait level too. Top 10 students of our Academy. We chose the alternate top 10 students so that they can form their own units. We right now have forty students present here. Twenty from class A and twenty from class B.
"Each class will form their groups in different rooms. As this is the year 2071 which is an odd number according to this year we will call top students who are at odd numbers.
Student number one: Rigid Rusell please come up here," claps went out. Most were girls.
"Student number three: Robert Capron"
'So he's alive after all.' I thought, 'What do teachers tell the students? Robert never died? Or what? Never mind.'
"Then we have student number five: Cherly Anderson" Ah boys are over her.
"Student number seven: Amilia Edwards, please.
Student number nine: Light Enix
Student number eleven: Eddie Cibrian
Student number thirteen: Colm Feore
Which makes seven students now. We have forty students, twenty in each class. We are supposed to make units of five students each.
The last student we have with us is Ryan Walker,"
"What the fuck?" Everybody's eyes followed me, "Damn why am I standing at the back, everyone's staring at me. Only if I was standing in front no one would- fuck this,"
"Please come here, Ryan. In the battle against Robert Capron, Ryan Walker has officially won a battle against Robert. Which makes Ryan Walker take the third spot in our Academy. It is true though that Ryan's Trait level is only 3.0 so we can't make kick Robert and let Ryan take his spot. Ryan is considered to be one of the top 10s but is not ranked top 10,"
I walked to the top of the stage.
"Students standing here on the stage right in front of me will be the unit leaders of their respective units. I request the leaders of Class B to leave the main auditorium and join the other auditorium. You are supposed to choose five students for your unit. One important note: You can only choose one student from the top 10. Keep that in mind. Now go and make your teams. Mr. Steve will be. Your invigilator for this process,"
As instructed by Mr. Johan, Robert Capron, Cherly Anderson, Eddie Cibrian, and Colm Feore left the auditorium. Following them, the whole Class B left with Mr. Steve. It was just. Me, Rigid, Amilia, and Light stood there.
"I will be your invigilator for you guys," Mr. Johan said as he walked down the stage. He sat down on the chair in front of the stage, "As you are a special case Ryan, you go first,"
"Ah, sir I can- I am good,"
"Select your unit!" He ordered. Okay, I had no other choice, I don't wanna deny him anymore in front of twenty-one people.
"Sure," I stepped forward.
I glanced all over the room to see who I had as an option to chose as my teammates for the rest of two years. 'I need to choose right or else I might end up regretting it forever.' I thought looking all over the room.
Everybody's face was telling me they didn't want to be on my team. They were like 'Don't chose me,' 'Fuck off you weakling,' 'You creep, don't choose me'
I was already under pressure. I was being chosen to be given this privilege I am awkward already enough. And the way students were staring at me was depressing. I decided to ignore them and focus on my thing.
I found few faces known to me. 'They will be the one. I only know these guys. Others are unknown to me.'
