Ray opened his eyes and did not know how long he had been asleep for His heart was beating fastly so fast that it was inhuman. Lucky after taking a few deep breaths here and there to calm himself down his heart began to slow down to a normal rate. When he rubbed, he looked around for the ability scroll and was shocked not to see it anywhere.
Usually when an ability scroll has been used it would still be their only empty, meaning it was reusable to record any other ability. That when he remembered, 'I had somehow been able to finally open the scroll… I should have an ability right?'Ray was a little excited seeing this as a chance to finally catch up with his pears.
Ray's father had an ability to change into a wolf type beast so he decided to try that first, He got on his legs and arms and made the pose akin to a wolf growly. "TRANSFORM."
5 seconds passed.
Absolutely nothing happened, feeling rather embarrassed Ray stood up and thought about his mothers ability. He looked at his hands and imagined claws coming out, "CLAWS."
Another 5 seconds passed.
It was getting really embarrassing for Ray, 'If I did not inherit any of my parents abilities then maybe they had bought me a cheap ability scroll' Ability scrolls were not cheap and cost a lot of money he began to prepare himself in a stance for cheap abilities he could think of.
"FIREBALL"
"HOVER."
"HYDRO BLAST"
"ENERGY CHARGE"
Absolutely nothing, Ray was getting frustrated as he nearly pulled out his hair out of frustration. And it was then that he noticed his window was open. When he looked to the right, he could see a girl staring at him laughing her ass off. Ashamed he closed the curtain in a swift and quick motion.
'Just what did the scroll have?' He did not have much time to think about it because he heard a knock on the door. He sighed heavily because this was what he was expecting. When he opened the door a middle aged young man who looked too young to be a general was outside.
On his uniform many badges could be seen, "You must be Ray Lycaon, have you already prepared your things?" He nodded and began to walk out carrying nothing. The man was confused but did not bother to ask most people in these apartments where kids who lost their parents to war.
Ray walked out and realized the sun was starting to set, 'Just how long was it out for?'Outside a bus with a few other kids around Ray's age could be seen either chatting or sleeping. The man instructed Ray to enter, which he complied with. When he entered the bus, he realized the girl who saw him doing those embarrassing stances was also there.
Their eyes locked on for a few seconds leading to Ray looking away, Since he did not have an ability, not many girls approached him so he was never really good about talking to them. He went over to an empty seat and just proceeded to stare out the window. The middle aged man got on the bus and began to speak to the students, ignoring him.
"Hello I, am General Hawk, and I would be your guide to Nux military school. It is my hope that all of you become great and inspiring explorers… who knows Maybe one of you will become a leader." Ray's ears perked up, Becoming a leader was his only goal.
A leader is someone who has the ability to change the laws and bend the rules of the earth, they were extremely strong and reached level 10 of their ability. They were at the pinnacle of the food chain and were feared and loved by all humans. If Ray could become a leader, he could help the ability less people have a bright future, But he would need to find strength.
At first Ray had a plan, if he could not open the ability scroll passed down to him he would sell or trade it for money or another ability scroll. After then he would train his ability to the level 10 and become a leader. His plans had many flaws, but that was the best he could think of, But he had already opened the scroll he just needed to find out what exactly his ability was.
General Hawk raised his hands and smoke began to emit from it. A purple like gas was spread everywhere and one by one the kids began to fall to sleep. The same could be said about Ray.
