Chapter 14 - Chapter 14. Class selection

Logan Healy, a popular hunter in his prime. He was beloved by many due to his many accomplishments in the field of hunting. Only those close to him knew how terrible of a person he was

He was a selfish person who only cared about himself, He would do anything to acquire both fame and fortune, even killing those who were in his way

He was also very sadistic taking pleasure in the pain of others. Many of those who knew this side of Logan accused him of being a 'Beast' with intellect but since one had never been encountered this was promptly refuted

Logan and Rochester had a long history with each other. Logan despised him and Rochester did his best to stay clear of him. To think that they would meet like this after five years

Logan walked leisurely while brushing his hand through his blonde hair wearing a wicked smile. He wore black shades and one of his teeth was gold plated

He stopped a few inches from Rochester who was glaring at him. He chuckled and pulled down his glasses a bit "Why are you making such a ruckus Roachhy?"

Rochester gritted his teeth "Your class attacked mine..."

"Is that so..." Logan lazily looked at Rochester's class before he locked eyes with Aiden

"Interesting..." Logan walked by Rochester and stared at Aiden intently before breaking out in a grin "Oh what's this? Isn't this the 'star' who has captured people's attention?"

Aiden narrowed his eyes, returning Logan's words with an icy cold glare and a strong killing intent. Logan's grin grew wider 'Lovely...this rage...perfect'

"My, My Roachhy, You were dealt a bad hand this year hmm?" Logan looked back at Rochester "First I heard you got an affinity less student" Logan looked at Bar " Then you got a student that hasn't even got used to his Adaptation" he looked at Paul who immediately lowered gaze and shuddered while looking like he was about to cry "Then the worst of all..." He looked at Aiden "A boy who could..."

"SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Damian roared his body shuddered as pale gold hair slowly staryed growing from his body, his eyes were blood shot and his teeth grew into fangs

Damian emitted little radiance as he slowly walked toward Logan

'Perfect...'

"Or what? what will a kitten like you do to me? Face the truth..."

"I...SAID...SHUTUP!!" Damian unleashed a beastly roar that shook the ground a bit. Logan was stunned a bit but Damian was already jumping into the air, claws extended, ready to take his life

"Calm yourself..." Mr Rochester appeared behind him and hit him lightly on the back of his neck. Damian's body slowly returned to normal and he collapsed to the ground and Rochester picked him up

Mr Rochester looked at Logan with cold eyes and the temperature around the area fell rapidly. It seemed as if Rochester knew why Logan was causing such a scene. Logan's class who were all grins and snickers quickly moved away at the sudden change in the temperature

"Let me be clear...Logan... If either you nor anyone from your class cause problems or decide to make a scene like this ever again..." Mr Rochester didn't finish his words and the meaning was well understood

'Bastard' Logan thought and moved towards his class "Let's get the class selection started already" Logan led his class into the gymnasium.

Mr Rochester looked at Aiden and he nodded. Mr Rochester sighed as he signaled for the rest of the class to follow him.

They moved through a large corridor that led to a large open glass dome surrounded by stands for spectators to sit and a depression in the middle where all activities would take place

Mr Rochester left Damian in on of the spectator's seat along with Aiden who couldn't participate due to his lack of a complex

In the middle of the gymnasium was a glass room partitioned into two sections with a monitor placed in each section. The classes filled into a neat line in front of each section of the glass room along with their class instructor

"Okay, listen up!" Mr Rochester got everyone's attention "We're about to get all of you your classes"

The students chatted excitedly amongst themselves

"All right settle down. We'll conduct this test one person at a time. When you enter the room a veil will be projected to protect your information. After the class placement you are allowed to reveal your class and power to any other candidate"

Mr Rochester then stared intently at his class "But I assume you all know the complications of doing so. With that out of the way we'll begin with Shayla"

Aiden watched as Shayla limped into the glass room's left section while Logan also carried out his class's placement

Some candidates came out happy while others grumbled. Aiden sighed as he looked wistful. He thought back to how he finally made up his mind to follow the dream he thought he had abandoned

"Ugh..." Aiden glanced to his side and saw Damian was stirring from his sleep

"Aiden...what happened?"

"You were being a coward as usual"

Damian's eyes grew wide and he tried to find something to say but couldn't.

Aiden stood up and moved toward the center of the gymnasium as Mr Rochester spotted both Aiden and Damian and beckoned them to come closer.

As soon as both of them approached Mr Rochester started talking

"Now that you all have acquired your classes you'll notice that there are slight changes into your how your bodies feel. Some of you feel sturdier, others more nimble and some more calculative. Depending on the change your abilities may be streamlined into a specific combat type"

Mr Rochester then proceeded to tap his watch and a holographic window appeared "Now based on your classes and combat types you've all been assigned to a team of three. When you all have identified your teams your expected to cooperate with each other to complete tasks and support each other. Based on the performance of the team you'll be rewarded with points the teams with the most points will then take place in the Coalition tournament. When the names are called you are to follow your teammates outside the gymnasium. Now the teams are Damian Hills, Shayla Quil and Shalom Wills"

Damian looked at Aiden briefly before going to support Shayla with Shalom out of the gymnasium

'Thank God...' Aiden sighed as he was filled with relief

"Next are Arnold Freeman, Bernard Doyle and Audrey White"

The name kept moving and soon only Aiden, Baraq and Paul were left

Mr Rochester tapped his watch and the holographic display disappeared and he stared at the three of them

"Even though you three made the cut, it is regrettable that I must say this. You three have been forcefully removed from the program"

******************************************************

Mr Wells sat behind his desk looking over the reports from the scientists on their progress with the gate under ground. William was busy snoring on the couch has he was finally able to sleep after days of work

There was a knock on the office door "Come in"

The door opened and a middle-aged man with brown wavy hair and piercing hazel eyes with a huge figure entered the office

"What's the occasion?"

"Nothing really..."

"It can't be nothing, you never visit"

The man smirked "It's not that I don't but, our relationship has to be kept a secret"

William's ears perked and his eyes shot open with a grin "What!? Nobody told me you two...urgh!"

William's was promptly punched in the stomach "Come on Ethan..."

"I see your still the same"

"So are you"

Ethan looked at Wills "There's something I have to show you"

Ethan opened up a window on his watch and a video began playing

"Since when was this video taken?" Wills asked as a subtle smirked crept up his face

"It's been a week"

"Don't you think that we should have known earlier?" William asked

"Well I didn't think it was related to 'that'"

"Well all will be revealed" Wells got up and stared at outside at the bright city awash with lights in the sombre darkness of the night "The festival will reveal all that we need to know"
