Chapter 9 - The Hermit

'The Hermit.'

"That's my Title?" I question with curiosity

"Yes, your Title represents your personality in some words if I remember, means that you are a searcher of truth but you live a lonely life and lost your way". He explains

'wow, that describes me so clearly, I doubt if the person who made the names is a genius or a cheater.'

"Mmh, for your silence I suppose you are some surprised by this info I gave to you. No need to thank me, otherwise, you were going to know soon". said Aiden

"ah ok, but I have other doubts about that system and some of his tools, how can know my external and internal condition? and how can even resume my personality?".

I ask with a decisive tone because it's so uncomfortable the idea of that system could know everything about me

"Yeah, that it's so insane on part of the council and the higher-ups but remember, we are only pawns on this board without end." He said with a calm tone.

'I never thought in that way before I was surprised by Aiden's response

"Ehmm, I think it's time to return to our rooms, it seems our training ends, so see you tomorrow," I said as I run to my room

'Soon, You would know how it's this world' thought Aiden as he return to his room.

When I enter the room, I take a shower and went to my bed.

Some minutes later, Kai returned with a perspiration smell and his head down, but he didn't look at me for a single second and went to the bathroom directly.

Some minutes later of silence with only the sound of the shower, he return to his bed and then he said in a sad tone

"Ahhh, this was the worst day of my entire life! I never thought that women were so beautiful as crazy."

"Hmm, you're right in one thing, the training was so exhausting, but, how can you say that she is cute if you never saw faces without the mask?" I asked him not to process that he said right now.

"Maybe my intuition or instinct said me behind his rude attitude she hides another type of person and I…" Kai stop talking as he discovered that Eden who was sleeping right now in the middle of his response

And then he sleeps to

8 hours later

'We are only pawns in this table without end' I was thinking about that phrase that Aiden told me yesterday.

'What he refers to when he said that?' I thought

and then suddenly…

¡Pipipi…pipipi…pipipi…!

my alarm sounded so strong that I again was going to have another heartbreak like the last day and I was trying to stop that alarm but I don't find any sign until some minutes of pure noises.

After I found the configuration sound settings I turn down the alarm to the next time

And then I go to the classroom for my new day and then a week has passed like wind and now the next week arrived.

Pipipi..pipipi.pipipi

I was so tired that I can't stand up for all the training of yesterday, even if I do that I was tempted to pretend to be sick but when I thought again, this was not an option.

Without another choice, I a stand-up, and then I revise my status window

[Average: F+]

[Strength: 7 (F)]

[Stamina: 10 (F+)]

[Intelligence: 10 (F+)]

[Speed: 6 (F)]

Seeing all was in order I don't go to the classroom, instead, we have to go to the practice room but not for another infernal training.

This time the person who was waiting here was Stephen, I was so glad that this time we don't have Beatrice.

When we were here, he took the list, and then we went to our simulations rooms but suddenly, I and Aiden went to another place.

'It seems this was the room where Stephen supervise all of us'. I thought and a seconds later Stephen say

"I know I know, this is unusual but there is something I want to tell you."

"The two of us have an order from the council to go to another training installation where the rest of the 10 originals are in right now." He told us as gave some indications

"Ehm, why me? I remember I don't have the first numbers of this generation, and they can't be eleven in the originals.

"I don't know either, these are orders of the superiors so better go now."

"Yes sir!"

We said and after a few minutes of only walking, we could see a black door with a scanner that detects our number code in our academy's suit.

When the scanner verified our identities the door opened to us. And then we go inside, there was only a deep silence, I was thinking is this was the wrong room but suddenly.

BOOOOOM!!!

A strong noise could here in somewhere the installation we go inside and then we find a group of people fighting each other but the only difference is that they were using their abilities.

I couldn't understand what kind of abilities were used but that make me curious about that

"well well, I saw some new toys to play with." I heard the noise of one of the people in the ring who was fighting before.

"Hey you, come here, he the only he knows is the fight and when he wins he 'conquer' something about them, you only have to do is not accept his spar."

Said a female voice and then when I saw them here she was in one of the seats watching all the situation

Making the case she told me I directly ignore him and take a seat with Aiden behind me.

"HEY, DON'T IGNORE ME, DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM?, I…!!!"

"Yes yes, you are Khal "the emperor" so, stop saying all the time your name without asking!." Say again the female in the seat with an irritating voice

"Ahh.. You are the last ones to come here, I am Elaine and the monkey over there is Khal, nice to meet you". She told to us

She was a person with golden hair with one head above mine but on the other hand, Khal seems to be one head superior to me with tones of red on his light brown hair. I thought and I would talk to her but suddenly.

"Thanks, my name is Aiden, and my friend you can call him Eden or Mr. Lone". He takes the initiative to introduce us.

"I see, well, come with me, let me introduce the rest of the group."
