Rays eyes slowly opened as he stared up at a sealing above him, he laid in a hospital bed with no bandages on him what so ever.
"MY NECK! Wait nothings there." he shouted as his fingers slid across his neck where the cut originally was before his fingers slid to his head pushing his white hair up slightly revealing his eyes.
'The cut on my head is gone as well? That makes no sense I don't know how to use spiritual energy or curse energy. And this early into the novel we don't run into anyone with the ability to heal others in such a way." Ray sat up slowly before the door opens quickly and a nurse along with a teenager and a man open the door.
'Seems my fate is sealed at this point.' Ray stared at the two. The two people beside the nurse was 'mason yamaki' the Main character of the novel and next to him was one of the strongest people in the novel 'Zeta Dante' with precise control over both spirit energy and curse energy along side some pretty over powered techniques made him a strong individual even spirits stay away from him.
'Zeta is originally here for Mason in the novel, but in the process of all the commotion from that night he probably found me aswell. Someone of his caliber can sense people who have innate techniques and the power to use spiritual energy and cursed energy' Ray's head slightly moved forward as he looked at the two
Zeta walked into the room with a smug smile on his face before raising his arms up expressing himself, "it seems I found some pretty cool individuals last night. One got thrown through a building and barely had a scratch on him… while the other, Healed a wound that would otherwise be fatal to any other person without being conscious." Zeta's head slowly lowered till he was eye level with Ray. Ray instinctively moved his face back before Zeta spoke once again.
"Seems I hit the jackpot!" zeta reached into his jacket and like a magician, he pulled out some civilian clothes and tossed them to Ray.
"I appreciate the clothes." Ray's face kept a calm expression as he looked at the clothes before quickly getting changed behind the curtain that was around his bed.
'Well there's no escaping Zeta but this doesn't necessarily seal my fate completely as in jm going to die. But I'm definitely gonna learn more about how to control my spiritual energy and curse energy.' he swiped the curtain away as he walked towards them with a white jacket with big buttons the size of quarters along with black pants. black and white high-top shoes to match the outfit. The white jacket had three black stripes on the forearm of the left arm.
'This guy already has me registered in the school? Damn it if I was quicker to get out of that building I could have avoided all this' his eyes moved around before looking at Mason
Mason was wearing almost the same outfit. The jacket was red with black lines going up the sides of the arms of the jacket. The buttons on his were black and red flames, he had red flames at the bottom of his black pants with black and red high tops shoes. Both the jackets that both Ray and Mason wore had hoods on them with fur on the inside. The fur on the inside of Ray's hood was black while the fur on the inside of Mason's was brown.
"We will do introductions later when you meet the rest of the first years that's under me this year. First! Let's get you both to Limbo" Zeta did a full 180 with a smile on his face before turning his head to the nurse as he walked out the door waving his hand and signaling the two boys to follow him.
"Don't worry ma'am the bill has already been paid in full by Limbo." after walking out the door magically closed by itself as they made their way through the halls and out the door.
Ray instantly shielded his eyes which were already being shielded by his messy hair from the sunlight that beamed down on him brightly, his eyes slowly adjusted to the daylight and he looked informed of him to noticed that the two were still walking.
He caught up quickly to the two and at first they were walking in silence before Mason broke the silence. "So this limbo place! You said it's like a collage right like an academy where guys with powers and stuff go to learn how to get stronger!?" he blurted out at the man that was walking in front before the man turned around and faced them while walking backward.
"A very noninformational way to say it! but in other words precisely that! And you get paid just by being there by the government since it's kinda important to have us around!" he spouted at the teen with a smirk on his face.
"What's your names anyway?" Ray wiggled his question into the conversation all the while keeping a calm and cool expression as he walked along with them. "Well I'm Mason yamaki! And now that I think of it I never asked for any of your names either!"
'Such a dumbass If Zeta was a kidnapper deem us kidnapped at this point.' Ray thought as he side-eyed Mason before focusing on Zeta. "I'm Zeta Dante I guess you could call me the strongest but since you haven't seen me in action I won't hold you to any rude remarks just yet!" Zeta turned back around and started walking forward
Sigh~
Ray sighed as he realized it was getting more and more obvious what he was getting into a bug the cocky attitude of Zeta along with the way that Mason operated, and being able to trust someone so fast when they sound like they're talking nothing but nonsense.
"I'm Ray Brits." Mason turned and put his arm around Ray before giving him a warm-hearted smile.
"I'll remember that name Ray since we will probably have classes together and since we both are first years! Plus we are entering on the same date! I could go on for ever!" Rays face had a awkward smile on it as he slowly removed Mason hand off him.
'Holy shit he's annoying, technically it's from his innate technique. but holy shit! It's so much worse in person.' Ray thought as the three took a turn into an ally way.
"This is good enough," Zeta stated as he snapped his fingers, and blue energy formed around the three of them
"Twighlight.. Spiritual technique…. Assisted travel." they could hear the man mumble before both Mason and Ray could feel there bodies buzzing and their balances being thrown off.
Mason staggered a bit before standing in a slouched form while Ray completely fell to one of his knees while covering his eyes. Within a few seconds they where back in concrete infornt of a building that stretched onward across the land. Sections and bridges lead to different parts of the area.
"Welcome to Limbo! Let's go ahead and get a reading on the uniforms you have on so you two can be official students on this campus." Zeta stood on the steps before pointing at a pair of footprints on the ground in front of the steps.
"Go ahead and step on those. Footprints one at a time." Zeta said to the two teens before Mason stepped forward first and placed both his feet on the footprints.
The word Limbo appeared on his jacket on the back but the L the I and the O had a flame design on it. Now it was Ray's turn to step on the footprints once he stepped on the footprints the same happened to him but his buttons turned into metal eyes on his jacket that was just designed and the O on the limbo on his back was an eye symbol.
"CONGRATULATIONS FOR JOINING LIMBO!" zeta said as he struck a pose with his arms wide out and confetti falling from the sky.
"The hell did this shit even come from?" Ray asked as he held his hand out and confetti landed in it, while Mason nodded rapidly. "Now follow me so you two can learn the basics then I'll let you meet the others. Don't be a waste of time." both Ray and Mason looked at each other before following behind him.
They walked across a bridge and neither Ray nor Mason couldn't help but take in the scenery, the koi fish swimming under them and the cherry blossom trees that were growing around them. Ray stayed inside a lot so he never saw sights like these a lot.
Zeta stopped right at the end of the bridge abruptly. He turned and looked at them before putting on a serious look on his face while staring at the two.
"Before we walk in here I need you two to have at least a basic understanding of this." zeta held out his hand, palm facing up towards them.
"Spiritual energy and cursed energy may take a moment to activate when you first use it so it could take you both a minute but no matter who you are the activation Is mostly the same. You just have to draw out the energy from your soul and mind. Make sure it doesn't collide with each other within you and you should manifest it in physical form." as Zeta talked blue tendrils of light flicked and whisked around in his hand.
"Without proper control of this energy," Zeta smirked as the tendrils exploded outwards and spiraled upwards into the air before disappearing. " can be quite the problem. So take your time."
Both mason and Ray held out their Hands palms facing upward as they closed their eyes. A few seconds last and they both started to clench there teeth, Rays face started to scrunch up as he could hear mason grinding his teeth together. After a moment more pass a sound could be heard.
FLOOM~
In masons hand was a red and black flame that danced around before slowing down and turning into a solid like ice. Ray looked at it before squinting his eyes irritatedly.
'Main character bull shit!' Ray thought as he took a deep breath before he heard a sound informing him and a weight on his palm.
Shiking~
Floating in his hand was a black ring with white writing all over it. The ring was big enough to fit around someone's Wrist or arm.
"Whoa! Seems you two are some prodigies in the making. Well since we got the basics out the way it's only fair I see how good you are at handling yourselves!"
A smile crept across Zeta's face
