Walking along the pathway, Toku finally took his eyes away from the golden statues and was observing what was around him, the surrounding seemed to be flooded with a variety of ornamental trees and flowers, with pathways cleared up to allow for easy passage through them, the place was really beautiful and relaxing. They kept on walking along the same part and were now passing by the raised podium and Toku couldn't help but gaze at the breath taking sight of the statues once again, they passed by the statues and were now headed towards a large building that was behind the statued by a few metres.
When they entered the building, it was full, it looked to be a two storied building and had the acronym (ITI) written on it. People were using what looked like an elevators to go between each floor. On the ground floor, there were many counters that provided their services to many customer who were in need of it, business was in full boom in the here, the building was beautifully decorated and had a big screen that aided in advertisement which showed the layout of the school and what they offered in it. Walking up to one of the many counters, they were received by the attendant. He looked to be a middle aged man, with black hair which was shining, it looked like he had applied some gel on it and had combed it back, which gave it some sheen. The man had dark brown eyes, with somewhat dark skin and a beautiful smile on his face.
" Welcome to Integrated Training Institute, so what may I assist you with today" the man said with a calm and somewhat deep voice
" Nothing much, just where do we go to get admitted into the Institute" Antonio said as he placed his hand on the counter.
" ooooo no problem, all you have to do is take a little test" the attendant paused a little and he seemed to be in a dilemma
" sorry, are you the one applying? if so, you seem to be over aged" the attendant finally let out what was troubling him, but Antonio just shook head before pointing towards Toku" It's him...."
" ooo if so then just follow me" the attendant walked out from behind the counter and began moving towards a seperate room, Toku first of all looked at Antonio who gave him a slight knodd " when your done, just follow the pathway back to the car, I will be waiting there"Antonio instructed Toku before walking off to the car and then Toku began following the attendant. The attendant opened the door, and then gave way for Toku to enter before entering himself. In the room, there was already a queue with a little more than ten children his age on it, the room was demarcated into two with a one-way see through glass that allowed one to see what was happening in the demarcated part of the room after the glass but not what is happening in the demarcated part of the room where Toku was currently standing in. The demarcated part of the room that Toku was staying in had some chairs by the side, on which some children had already sat down. Noticing that it will take a while before it reaches his turn, Toku decided to sit on a chair byside the other kid. This was when Toku noticed that the kid was actually a girl, she wore a black hodded long sleeved shirt, with a pair of black well fitted trouser. She had golden brown long straight hair which flowed out of the hoddy and stopped at her shoulder level. She kept her head down and fidgetted with her fingers. Although the girl covered herself up well, Toku could sense that she was a beauty. Noticing how nervous she was Toku decided to help by talking to her
" Hello....." Toku began a conversation, the girl turned her head to see a boy with deep blue eyes and a pitch black scattered hair smiling at her, she just knodded at him before continueing fidgetting with her fingers, and then Toku noticed her beautiful brown eyes. After this, Toku kept on trying to strike a conversation with her but she just snubbed him, he didn't know why she refused to answer him but he decided to stop so as not to trouble her. He then focused on what was happening in the other room.
In the room, there stood a boy who had blue hair that had been made into a bob style, he was dressed in a casual white buttoned short sleeved shirt with a black trouser and wore a corporate black shoe. Infront of him stood a device, it looked to be a raised stone pillar that seemed to be around a metre and a half tall, and stuck to the top of the pillar was what seemed to be a clear transparent stone, almost looking like a daimond but had little particles of different colours stuck in it. The boy placed his had on the stone, and the stone seemed to start shining with a little blue glow at first but it kept on getting brighter untill it finally stopped and started dimming down. Then to the side of the room, there were two staffs, a man and a woman who dressed in a formal office suit, one having a black hair while the other had a brown hair. After the stone stopped glowing, they jotted something down before telling the boy to go out and calling the next. When the boy went out, the other students started wispering to each other but Toku didn't pay attention but kept on starring at the clear crystal stone. This continued with different people going in the room and placing their hands on the stone and the stone shining different in colours with different intensity or sometimes the stone shone the same colour for two different people but with different intensity.
Later on, the room Toku was staying in was opening up with different kid having taken the test and leaving, some had a happy expression on their faces after taking the test, some had a sad one, some had a determined one and others had an indifferent facial expression, Toku didn't know why but he just assumed it had to do with either the intensity or the colour the stone glowed with. Time passed by and it was turn for the girl that was sitting beside Toku, she nervously stood up before nervously walking into the room, she was so nervous that some of it started rubbing on Toku, he too started feeling nervous a bit for her. The girl was about too place her hand on top the stone, inches away from touching it, the stone gave off a bright cyan green glow for a whole minute which brighttened up the whole room, before it deemed down. The whole room was silent for another good minute before the two staffs by the side scribbled down something before letting the girl go, when the girl came out of the room nobody talked to her but rather gave way for her to pass out of the room. Toku was really amazed, for he really didn't expect her's to glow so brightly, although he noticed from other people expression that it mean't something special, he still didn't know why it was special or how special it was. Different kids kept on taking the test with different reactions from the stone, and before long the room was now empty with only Toku in it, the last person came out of the room with a cheerful expression and it was now Toku's turn. Getting up, Toku walked nervously towards the door, he didn't know if it was him being nervous or that girls nervousness that had rubbed on him but he just hoped for the best. He entered the room with the two teachers looking at him with an expressionless face, he then proceeded to place his palm on the stone, but something really unexpected and never heard of or seen before happened.
