Aqua was just so excited. Today would be her first day in the largest city. She had been preparing for almost a whole week. She could not wait. Most of the other senior students were also preparing to leave. Aqua bounced up and down as she giggled at her own child's play.
She didn't want to ruin her mood today. She looked at the bedside clock and realized that it was just too early but she was just too excited. She was totally not going back to bed. She looked around her room and realized that she would miss this place badly. Buy she wanted to experience another routine that didn't include going to different missions. Not that she minded, but she wanted to experience something knew. Unknown to her, she was going to invite more than she could handle.
She looked at her calendar which she had been marking since the beginning of the month. She skipped her way to the shower while humming her favorite tune. She prepared herself meticulously and removed all her stuffs which she had packed the previous day.
She wore a blue ragged jeans and a black tank top. She let her raven hair fall on her back. She finished it with white sport shoes. She went infront of the mirror to see if she looked more human and less of a dark angel. Jade looked so astonished that Aqua would dress that much for the admission.
This would be their last day together. Jade hugged Aqua so tightly that she thought she would snap in half.
"Jade, you know how much I hate hugs but I will let this one slide. "
"Sometimes I wonder if you have a rock for a heart. "She said as she retreated from the hug.
"As long as it performs the same function I wouldn't mind. "
Jade had brought their breakfast to their rooms as they would not be using the bus.
"How do you think life out there is. "
"I'm not a geologist to know every nook and cranny of each country, Jade. "
"I will so not miss any inch of you. "
"I will miss myself then. " Jade looked at her unbelievable friend and just sighed.
"All those students leaving please avail yourselves in the middle field fast. "
"I guess that's our cue then." Aqua said as she took her bags out to the field. Jade followed her outside and locked the door behind her. When they arrived at the field very many students were already there. Almost everyone looked excited but there were also dangers awaiting them.
Their trainers wished them all the best in the outside world. Seven different portals were opened. All they had was to do was think of the place they were supposed to go and the portal would take them to their destination. Jade and Aqua said their said their final goodbyes and entered the portals.

Aqua appeared in a very dark alley in Mercoda city. She took out her phone and checked the distance from where she was to thw university. It was an international university which only took the best of the best students around the planet . But it mainly consisted of students from the elite families.
"Well it can't be that bad. " Aqua said as she took a deep breath and walked out of the alley.
"Geez it will be a miracle if I don't get lost in this place. " Aqua murmured under her breathe as she walked along minding her own business just like everyone else. She held her bags close to herself and continued walking while keeping her eyes on the road before she became a squashed mango smoothie with a cherry on top.
The map from the phone seemed to be taking her nowhere because even after a whole hour it was still saying.
"You will arrive at your destination after thirty minutes. "
She got irritated and decided to ask for directions from a nearby mini supermarket. 'I just wish I could teleport upto that school without any problem. The owner of the shop was mesmerized at the beauty of the angle who entered his store. His eyes turned red for only a second and went back to black. Aqua did not notice the small change as she was still looking around curiously. She did not note the commotion she had caused inside the store as women threw accusatoly glares at her.
Aqua ignored and walked to the owner who was standing closest to the door.
"Excuse me sir? "
"Yes miss... " Aqua knew thw man was just trying to dig out her name.
"Just miss. Would please direct me to Mercoda university. "
'This human is very smart but also strikingly beautiful. I bet her blood tastes very sweet. ' The man thought to himself. On the other hand Aqua felt very disgusted with the way the man was staring at her. She felt like throwing a punch at him to teach him a lesson. She restrained herself with so much effort as she forced a subtle smile on he face.
'If this is what it takes to be a good girl then I can't promise that I will not kill someone soon. '
The man gave her directions while trying to get closer to her. She murmured a quick thanks and left the place in a hurry.
"I hope that place has a lesson on how to control your anger. " People always stopped to stare at her. But she was so not in the mood to start a staring competition. She arrived at the university after fifteen minutes of walking. The huge sign at the gate greeted all the freshmen warmly.
Very many students entered the campus with smiling face. She was finally here. She felt like screaming at the top of her lungs. But she just walked towards the gate maintaining a serious face while her heart was in a disco hall jumping up and down while shaking.
A black hooded figure was watching from afar. When the shadow saw her enter the building, an evil smile appeared on it's hidden face.
"Let's see how you survive my little fox. " The figure said before it dissapeared.
