Surrounded by trees and wild plants an environment that doesn't suit the large screen displayed in front of Allen.
The screen showed three-box each with a number written, box 1, box 2, and box 3.
Allen took a deep breath, he look around frantically and saw that he was alone in this place.
"Should we end it?" A voice said.
"No!, no I'm fine" Allen spoke looking above as if the ceiling is the one he was talking with.
A white ceiling with several light bulbs, makes one think is this a forest somewhere or a room made to look like one.
He touch his head and looked at the screen.
"I just need focus"
Allen took a deep breath closed his eyes and waited for a vision to pop out like an ad.
But minutes pass and just his nervous thoughts were all he could hear.
'Please work'
'work'
'show me the future'
'come on!, I've seen it before'
'please'
He pleaded for the bloodline to work even though he had no idea if it was even alive and could hear him, But no luck.
One of the tree's around Allen bent over to the shape of a door after that a voice spoke.
"Its time for lunch"
Allen opened his eyes as soon as he heard it he touch the number 2 box on the monitor and a huge red 'x' appeared on the screen.
He stared at it for a few seconds before exiting the room through the bend over tree.
He walked to the long halls not taking a look at his surroundings as his eyes were fixed on the floor.
Eyebags covered almost half of his face and only thanks to the bright glasses he was wearing was it not noticed by someone outside his roommates.
Allen's wearing an orange color glasses for today for tomorrow he thought of wearing a red framed one,
A week has already passed, and he did the same training every day with zero progress.
He was instructed to pick the right box using his ability, it simply need his bloodline to activate and training complete.
He thought it was easy but weeks of training doesn't make him closer to his goal.
"Allen!" Someone shouted his name and he knows who it is without seeing the person.
He looked where the voice came from and saw a tall white dude wearing a white Pollo shirt that turned almost transparent cause of sweat,
'why does Lee always wear this...kind of shirt' Allen pondered.
"The others waiting" The guy said and they both walk towards the cafeteria.
And there it was a banner of a yellow key, under it is the table where his roommate was waiting.
"Your late again" Anna said with a mayo stain on the corner of her lips.
"Good to see you" The old man said munching on a vegetable salad.
While the couple sitting next to each other waved at Allen and didn't seem to pay attention to Lee.
"What you gonna order?" Lee asked as a hamburger popped out of his table.
"Wait!" Anna said aloud.
"Let me guess" She put her hands together and said with doubt
"Is it a stake and a vegetable salad?"
Allen looked at her with the 'How did you know?' face and she said.
"You ordered it every day"
"Hooon, can I go near Anna today?" A girl asked and her...boyfriend? said
"did you use-
Before he could finish Anna spoke " I didn't"
While the group has a conversation the steak and vegetable that Allen ordered pop out of the table.
'eat a lot of meat and vegetable' He remembered it from drew, it's a advice he said when Allen asked how to become stronger.
"haah, I'll learn to use my bloodline sooner" He said with expectation as he enjoy his food.
Lunch came to an end and Allen entered his training room.
The monitor and its three boxes was presented in front of him and like the previous days there was still no progress and he was given the result of a big red 'x'
When he opened the door to the bedroom he saw all curtains were closed and only faint lights remain in each of his roommates the only lit room was his.
He walks toward his room and lets his body fall to the bed.
'I failed again?' He asked himself and rested for a few seconds before grabbing the sword under his bed.
He swing it thirty times as it was his limit and collapsed on the bed hugging his wooden sword.
Then his awaited vision came.
The whole place has turned to rubble, and the flame that surrounds the building grew large when the water hit its body.
There he saw Drew exiting the building with two people on his back.
"There's still people inside!" He yelled what accompanied his shout was the flame dancing trying to set ablaze the other structures near.
Allen felt a tap on his shoulder so he looked behind and saw the old man
"Can you tell them I want to be in the rescue?" He asked.
"We already lost Lee you can't enter" Anna said forcing her opinion.
'What happened to Lee?' Allen wanted to ask but his body moved on its own.
"I'll go to" Allen said and Anna yelled at him
"You can't use your bloodline what can you do!"
"I can run!" Allen said to her Charging at the burning building.
The old man was about to follow behind but Anna grabbed his arm squeezing it tightly.
"You can't, we're not gonna lose another person"
The vision then shifted.
Inside the burning building there he saw Lee's corpse a huge stick was embedded in his chest.
"Lee!" Allen called for him, he tried to carry Lee but an explosion send him flying.
Allen's body hit the debris covered with fire.
He looked where the explosion came from and saw flame, a flame in a shape of a man.
It approached him and as its red fiery arm touch his face he felt pain, a burning sensation that doesn't seem to be from a dream.
"Aahhhh, let go of me!" Allen screamed touching the fire arm that was burning his face, but it only result in burns.
He was helpless as his body was taken off the ground,
"no" Tears drop from his eyes as the fire burn his flesh even the tears he has evaporated upon contact with the red blazing arm, the monster ready a fist before making a hole in Allen's stomach which resulted in his guts bursting through his back.
Allen woke up its already morning, he slid down the sword he was hugging and sat down.
"haa, what happened?" He asked.
"Allen do you want an ice cream?" He heard a voice outside the curtain.
He swipe the curtain and saw Lee, the guy have a smile put on as he give Allen a cone of ice cream.
Allen took it and Lee spoke " Anna's treat today"
Allen looked at Anna and received a wink from her as she lick her slowly melting ice cream.
"Thanks but an ice cream this early-
"Baaah!, just enjoy it" Anna said and Lee commented
"She's right, who cares about a diet, haha"
Lee eats like a child magically getting the ice cream smeared all over his face and somehow his forehead has chocolate dripping down.
Allen tested and found the flavor good so he trashed the thought of the ice cream being bad in the morning.
While the old man which is one of his roommates can only watch as the five of them ate a delicious treat.
The old man looked at the cereal beside him and approached Anna
"I want one" He demanded and Anna asked
"Your health?"
"Its just one ice cream" The old man said with a smile and Anna gave him one without asking more questions.
The old man took a small bite and his eyes opened massively
"This is good!"
"right" Allen said as he approach the old man
"It tastes like a blue berry but if it's red!"
"Young man your right!" the old man said as he take another bite.
Lee on another hand just took his fourth ice cream laughing as he get it all over his face.
"hehehhe, it's delicious"
Anna watched it all and couldn't help but get worried that Lee might drain all her points by how a big ice cream eater he is.
While the couple ate a single ice cream each and leave the room for practice.
Anna finished hers and before leaving she said especially to Lee
"No more ice cream"
"then I'll eat it later," Lee said
"Give me some please?" Allen asked and Lee gave him a thumbs up
"Of course we're friends, can't give you one though grandpa, I'm worried about your health"
"It's okay this is my dessert for the whole month," The old man said taking the last bite of the cone and getting ready to leave for training.
"Well see you-
Before Lee could leave Allen asked
"Can I join your training?"
"uh, you can but what about yours?"
What about mine?, well it's already a week and I still have zero progress...can't say that can I,
And seeing that future.
Allen looked at Lee and could clearly remember his dead body which was struck by a pointed stick.
The event where everything will be engulfed in flame and that fire monster.
"You know my bloodline right?"
"Yes, it's a future vision right?" Lee said as he wipe his face.
"Well, I saw a monster"
"so?" Lee said ready to leave.
"You didn't hear me?" Allen said
"I did, but why say that to me, you should say that to the real hunters," Lee said leaving the room.
'I say that to you cause your gonna di-
"Sigh, no need to think this hard" Allen said to himself.
In the training room in front of his face was the screen that had three boxes placed.
"Hey!" Allen yelled but no answer.
"Hello!" He shouted this time a voice echoed.
"How can I help?"
"I saw a vision" Allen said.
"Yes?"
"There's gonna be a flame monster and the whole place will be thrown to a chaos.....my friend will die"
"When will that happen"
"Uh, I don't...it's gonna happen!"
"when?"
Allen looked up and asked
"Can't you just guard the place until it happened?"
"I'm sorry but every hunter is busy there's only two or three who are available so-jwidhjdjdjj"
"what's wrong?" He asked somehow Hearing the malfunction made Allen's heart beat faster.
"Its a fire-
He didn't need to hear more, the vision he saw last night all came crushing he moved toward the exit and bolted toward Lee's training room.
"It's today!" He yelled in frustration as he ran charging toward every person in the way he couldn't even bother to say sorry to the people he bump.
A large lump of saliva blocked his throat, that's how he felt at least.
Allen gasped for air when he arrived at Lee's training room.
Unlike his, it was full of people, weapons were displayed on the side and all the people who were supposed to be swinging their weapons all ran away.
"Run, all of you run!" A voice full of authority made Allen want to move away as well but he was here for something.
He charged forward and warm air envelop his skin his eyes were sucked by the flashing glow of a human figure in the middle of the room.
Only three people was left in the room' Allen I'm front of the door at the center is Lee beside him is the teacher of this class.
"Everyone's out, your the only one left!" The teacher yelled
"Teach I can fight!"
"No, listen to me, just say my gratitude to that friend of yours"
The teacher said patting the guy's head, Lee was tall but in front of the teacher, he was like a kid.
Lee is in no room for debate, he ran away from the glowing figure with a sword in hand making his movement slower.
"Teach I'm gonna skip training if you don't-
The glow of the figure burst into flame and in an instant, the whole room was on fire.
Caught by the explosion Lee's body flew toward Allen.
"ouch"
"you okay?" A voice asked.
"yeah?" Lee grabbed that person's hand and when his eyes opened he saw...allen!
"what ar.....
Before he can ask anything his eye got heavy and Lee fainted in Allen's arm.
