"Don't be scared." The male teacher said, noticing the worried look on Xin's face. "Just hand over the letter to the old woman. You are now a student of the heroic college. And you." He said, referring to mark.
"Congratulations to you two." The man said and every one of the teachers clapped their hands to congratulate Xin and Mark. And Xin smiled within himself. Finally, he's being admitted into the heroic college successfully.
But he thought that if he hadn't cheated, could they have chosen both of them?
He turned to look at Mark who was crouching on the floor, he had an angry expression on his face.
Mark's wound was attended to, by one of the teachers that have healing powers. After that, they were teleported back to the old woman.
Upon getting there, Xin gave the letter to the old woman. And as she received and read the contents of the letter, a big smile appeared on her face. She stared intensively at Xin, before looking away.
She placed the letter on the table, where several papers and pens where.
"Welcome to the heroic college." The old woman said.
The old woman picked two pens from the table and she handed one pen each to both of them, explaining the uses of the pen to them.
After so many struggles on how to improve the capability of those with no superpowers, the heroes of the world came up with something called ability and these ability has been encased into the pen and given out to the heroic college students with no ability, to learn. But, the learning do not start as easy as that.
The pen has a power bar that notifies the user if he could learn the ability encased into the pen, but if the user isn't able to learn the ability within a month, another pen will be given to him.
Once the pen is in your hands and it is activated by you, the pen belongs to you till you deactivate it by activating another pen. And also, it can't be stolen by anyone, no matter where you are or where you go, it already belongs to you.
The pen in Xin's hand was blue and he's wondering what could have been its powers. The power bar of the pen was low, so he have to wait till it gets full before he could learn the powers of the pen. But there was something else that was bothering Xin, he already have superpowers, could there be any possibility of learning an additional power? He just have to wait for the bars of the pen to get full.
Apart from that, when the old woman gave him the pen, the system notified him with some strange information.
< A new ability detected >
< User is capable of learning the ability. >
If he was capable of learning the ability, then why didn't the power bar of the pen get full?
The old woman teleported them again, but this time, they appeared in front of a dorm building where several other students and a few teachers were waiting.
"Okay now let's go!" A bald male teacher called Dan shouted as Xin and Mark appeared in their midst.
Dan took them around the school surrounding, showing them the buildings of the school. They got to the front of the library, it was a big building with decorations of flowers at the front, and a few metres away stood a fountain.
They went to the laboratory, clinic bay, weaponry, and several other buildings.
After the tour around the school, they were told to leave for their dorm rooms. The students checked for their names and collected the keys to their dorm room.
Xin's dorm room number is number twenty one, and he heard that he'll be sharing with three other students.
'Wish they would be good guys like Johnny.' Xin thought but as he entered the room, he was shocked as he saw that the three guys are all females.
"What??..." Xin said.
"Hi." One of the females waved to Xin. "I'm Teresa and here's my sister, Kate, and my sister, Sonia."
They all looked identical but the colour of their hairs were different. Teresa had a brown hair, while Kate had a blonde hair, and lastly, Sonia had a black hair.
Xin finds it hard to address ladies, he was thinking of what to say to the girls, but after a few seconds of thinking, he finally found something reasonable to say. He wasn't the type that makes friend easily, he studies the person before he could have them has friend or say something about himself to them.
"Are you triplets?" Xin asked.
"Yeah, we were born on the same day but I was the first one to come, next to me was Sonia before Kate could come out. I like blue colours and Kate also likes blue colours, but Sonia likes purple colour." Teresa said.
"What's the difference." Xin mumbled within himself.
"The three of us like eating sandwiches and we love soccer, music and video games also." Teresa continued, "And if you want to talk about swordsmanship, you can discuss it with us. We are knowledgeable when it comes to swords." She said.
Xin didn't know why but he's enjoying listening to her. Teresa's voice was smooth and very soothing to the ears. It is like listening to the voice of a Nightingale. But their peaceful chat was disturbed by the knocks on the door.
When Xin opened the door to see who it was, he saw the faces of three boys who he didn't recognize, but the one at the back, completing them as four, was Mark.
