Chapter 14 - Welcome!!!

"Hmm, well, that's a hard question. Not the question, but explaining it." The teachers looked at me with very confused faces. "Let me put it simply, I technically can't "see" any of you." I heard a lot of gasping. I thought they worked at a prestigious school aren't they supposed to be prepared for these kinds of situations? "Please elaborate." the headmaster said. "Okay, well, I can see your auras or sort of your outline. The same goes for inorganic things. To me, you all look like black figures except your outline." "So you're saying you haven't been able to see anyone's face for years?" the headmaster couldn't even compose himself at this point his aura was a radiant orange. "Yes." Can he not hear? "Next question: when did you awaken." Shit, and this is where it gets hard. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "Just answer the question."

From his tone of voice, it seems that I slightly irritated him with my response. "Alright then. I awakened at five years old." "You WHAT!!!" All the teachers were surprised and in disbelief, but the headmaster, after his spontaneous shouting, had a thinking look on his face and then his face lit up like he had a bright idea. "Actually, it makes a lot of sense." "It WHAT?" one teacher a slightly chunky woman or is that muscle? 'I dunno ask God once you get up there if there is a God.' 'Meh, that's one of the least interesting questions I would have.' 'I guess it sure would be.' she replied, thinking of all the things she would ask. "Next we will do a physical evaluation. Follow us to the training room." Once we got to the training room, I saw a punching machine like one of this arcade punching games but it had 7 number slots instead of just 4.

I decided to not put all of my strength into it. If I did, it would be too unnatural other than how unnatural I already am. If I went all out, I could probably score higher than most earth grown men. As my muscle density is far higher than it should be. And I am much lighter than someone with this much strength. Although I don't have much control over my muscles. To the point where I could estimate how much force is in each punch or kick. "What's taking so long for you to do this? Hurry!" the Headmaster said the other teachers grumbled in agreement. If I could, I would've given them a sweet little surprise from my fingers. But I decided against it since they are much stronger than me in the mastery of their Power's but I estimate them to have a PR 2x mine which is currently 10 and the Headmaster around 30. Not even to mention the fact that they have much higher social standing than me as teachers of the most prestigious academy in the world. 'See these kinds of thought processes are what distract you from having fun in life.' Olivia said, sounding annoyed at my thoughts. 'Well I wouldn't have a life if I always listened to you,' I kept pausing, intentionally irritating them. I then came up to the fist machine and gave it a decent punch around half of my strength it went all the way to 800 I looked behind me slightly and could tell that they thought this was abnormal even though I used half of my strength I probably shouldn't use 50 percent I learned a valuable lesson even halfway is abnormal for them. I went through an agility course and aced it again. I swear if this gets me too much attention I will kill someone. 'You should turn your negative thoughts about the school not everyone is bad. And not everyone will lie and try to trick you although there are some scumbags.' 'Well, I'll believe it when I see it.' I think the evaluation was over so we came back to the room we started in. The headmaster went and sat at the table and said. "Sapphire Selain welcome to Relix Academy," he said in a booming voice. I didn't even celebrate like they obviously thought I would do I just sat there because it was the beginning of school the waste of time I hate oh so much

When I got home, I finally got to think about what happened when I and Olivia fused. Usually, we would both retain the same memories about what happened. But this time felt like a whole other person was there with us. 'Olivia, did you feel that too?' ''Yes I did it felt like a whole other person was with us.'' we said at the same time. 'Well, there is really nothing to figure out. We could fuse again but I suspect we will not remember.' Olivia said with a sigh. I was just standing outside, but when I was about to enter, I noticed an abundance of auras in my home. I noticed they were there but couldn't see the color. It was way too murky. Ever since that day when I was six years old I have carried a multi-tool switchblade knife on me. I guess today's the day I use it. I sighed, then went in with a switchblade out.

It wasn't what I expected. I could see all the people who were hiding suddenly. "SURPRISE!!!" Many people were there. I could see from the outlines that mom and dad were also there safe and happy. I let out the biggest, most relieved sigh ever and put my switchblade back in my back pocket. Mom had a worried aura then she realized, "Oh, we're sorry, honey we didn't know this would look like an attack." The others were obviously confused and since it was safe to tell people now, mom explained. She tapped on her glass to get everyone's attention "Everyone, the reason Sapphire had her knife out is that she can't see too clearly her power awakened a couple of months ago and it affected her eyesight." The other people had come to an understanding which let the tension float off of the room. I walked over to mom. "What is it, Sapphire?" "Who are these people?" I saw some children there and it seemed like they wanted me to mingle. "Some family friends." her aura started turning into a straight, nervous green. It also looked like they wanted to see if I had any boys I liked. I facepalmed myself at my mother. "Mom, I Will not mingle with others my age." she gasped like I spit acid right in front of her. I don't really need friends, not after all the betrayal in my last life.

Humans are quite greedy and liars. They can't help it. I'd rather not associate with people. There is always a chance for betrayal. "I'll be up in my room telling me when it's time to eat cake." I twirled around right as I turned my back "Wait, what's this party for exactly?" "It's for your coming to school." I then turned right back around because it's something I would rather not celebrate, anyway… 'Hey don't you think that was mean?' 'Not in the slightest.' I then walked up into my room and started practicing my martial arts. My room was also vibration-proof. No one could feel any impact in my room either. I practiced for an hour then "I got you the biggest piece." She knocked on my door. "Okay!" I wasn't excited for the party but I have a sweet tooth. I opened the door drenched in my own sweat and mom looked surprised at my appearance. ! I had a revelation: mom and dad never knew about my practicing and once we moved to the manor my room was enchanted with certain protections like soundproof strengthening and vibration proof. "What have you been doing in here?" she asked "Ummm practicing?" "Practicing what?" she replied she was genuinely confused. "Martial arts?" "Okay." She handed the piece of cake over to me and I ate it very fast. In about 1 minute I was done. She looked at me with her mouth open. I was still chewing "I was hungry." I replied with a puffed-up face. I had a tank top and shorts on and my hair was around a quarter of my back down. "Just don't forget to go to bed early." You have a big day tomorrow." "Okay Mom!"

I said with a mumble I was still chewing. I was going to go for thirty more minutes but I choked on my cake *cough cough ugh* Dammit, maybe I shouldn't eat and practice at the same time.I then decided to go to the shower. Once I showered. I used my enhanced hearing (from awakening to clarify any misconceptions.) to hear that the party was still going on inside the main room. I got dressed in a suit and let my hair fall loose. I went to the main room when I arrived everyone was staring at me. I didn't smell weird did I? No, no I just took a shower do I look weird? Some kids I could clearly see were male turned to a frazzled pink… W- W- were they horny!!!?? Wait, stop the over dramatism 'ooooooooo looks like Lady Sapphire has some fans.'

Olivia started teasing me in a mocking voice. 'Shut up you know I'm too old for them besides you know that I am aromantic (Sapphire has never been shown actual romantic partner love so hence she can't show it back and she has a very negative outlook on relationships as a whole since her first memorie of hatred for her father and since "death" she has given no thought except pure indifference to those other women going through puberty would consider "hot" and yes I am a male so please correct me if I am wrong!!!) 'Yes I know you should have more fun more often.' 'Well if I had fun more often I'd probably be dead so whoopty doo go cry.' 'Such a mood killer, you look gorgeous, that's why they're staring at you, you look like a 10/10 on most boys' lists.' 'O- O- okay.' I didn't expect Olivia to use the word gorgeous but ok. I walked through the huge hallway into the main room. My dad seemed surprised that I came out of my room. He most likely expected me to stay holed up in my room for the whole duration. The party was still in full swing, mom and dad made friends with the really rich neighbors so all of the people here were nobles. I walked in the room and some boys tried to talk to me but I ignored them until a boy that had short hair and appeared to be around an inch taller than me walked in front of me. "Hello m'lady how are you feeling today?" He was surprisingly polite and asked about my well-being before anything he caught my interest. He wasn't coming towards me out of lust either; he just was happy and enjoying the party "I am doing fine, what about you?"

"I am doing fine, may I ask you for a dance?" I was surprised he was so obviously a noble and this party was more of a ball than an actual party, but he asked the girl who was wearing a suit instead of a dress for a dance, how interesting. "Of course." I accepted I had no reason not to and he wasn't pink so I had no reason to refuse. So we danced when we entered this house. The Queen had supplied us with etiquette books for my dad, a new high-paying job that didn't rely on PR. And a staff of cooks and maids that we rarely saw. When we got up every morning breakfast was served and if we wanted something specific we would put a sticky note on the silverware. Those etiquette books also included dancing. He was good at dancing and his moves were graceful and fluid. He didn't make a single mistake neither did I but it was impressive. "You're pretty good at this." he whispered while he pulled me in "You as well." I said with a whisper.

After 5 minutes we finished dancing the whole room was silent the whole time then broke out into claps my dads aura turned into that of anger and I could tell it was because of the dance *sigh I guess I might get the "talk" after this one. After two hours it was time for everyone to leave and the kid I dance with smiled and waved as he left out. Hm that kid was quite the strange character for a noble. After the party I got called to my parents room to have the puberty talk. You know the one about the changes in my body as I grow up. It was nice to finally get the talk I never got one. After the party I was worn out and even more after the puberty talk. So I went to sleep.
