Chereads / Sentient Core / Chapter 9 - The Academy.

Chapter 9 - The Academy.

The Arkham academy was the only hunter school in utopia-second civilization, so it was no doubt that all aspiring siphon hunters would be interested in the school.

What made Xadia compelled to apply for the school was because he had nowhere to go after just waking up from his supposed death, although the fords had offered for him to stay with them he had rejected it.

He didn't want to be a burden of any sought, and seeing the advertisement of a hunter academy where there would be siphons and different types of supernatural beings of his age, it would be a fine place to be to grow stronger for his foreseeable future.

Xadia had deduced that if he was to get information about the past he would have to be in a position of power, and looking at his current self now a level 1 unable to control a siphon ability of his, he wasn't even sure if he was one, he had decided to grow his strength and achieve greatness in this new vast limitless world.

Following after Tyson he had led him outside of the building they were in and Xadia was bewildered at the sight of the academy.

The entire academy seemed to be enclosed In a large glass-like dome, it had 4 propellers going straight up meeting at a point, it was a petal dome and xadia couldn't imagine how it was built.

"The academy has that effect at the first sight, don't worry you get used to it" Tyson assured Xadia with a smile.

While Tyson was walking around, describing the various places in the vicinity of the academy, the infirmary, school field, laboratory, and all other places in the academy, he had a perpetual, wide smile on his face, making it seem like the type that didn't have friends.

However, out of all the places that Tyson had shown him, he was particularly interested in one place, the library.

He was interested in the library as he had contemplated that the library would have books and information that are not available to the public, and xadia firmly hoped he would find something relating to his siphon ability in there

Surprisingly they hadn't come across anyone since the tour had started, and xadia was wondering why.

"Uhm, Tyson where is everyone"

"Ooh, well although it says we resume today no one arrives until tomorrow, the reason I'm here is that counselor Hex asked me to resume early to welcome a certain new guy," Tyson said giving xadia a friendly hit on his shoulder.

In doing so Xadia took a peek at Tyson's power watch and his power level was beaming straight at his face

"You're level 3?"

"Yes, I'm a level 3 passive" siphon Tyson calmly said

"What about you?" looking at xadia's power watch, Tyson didn't say anything as he thought anything he said would be quite sensitive to Xadia

"Don't judge me" Xadia internally cursed at Tyson as he had not said anything, eventually Tyson decided to advise his new roommate" you should keep that hidden away from our mates tomorrow"

"Why"

"Level 1 is an easy pick for bullies with higher levels, they'll extort credits from you if they ever saw your power level, you'd be a walking credit bank" Tyson advised

"Does the school know about it"

"Yes, they have this thing they do, if you come to them for help, you get sponsored by them, and after growing stronger you'd be indebted to them, they'll put you to use in any way they see fit"

With Tyson saying this Xadia was second guessing the academy because in a way now it looked like the academy was a loot for exploiting loyal workers.

Soon Tyson was leading Xadia to another place in the academy, it was a separate place and it looked to be for accommodations purposes as it looked different from the other buildings Xadia had seen in the academy.

"This is the school dorm buildings, the other one is for the girls, and this one's for us dudes" Tyson said

Looking at the two buildings they were both skyscrapers and they had a glowing crystal on top of them like all the other buildings Tyson had shown him.

While looking at the building,xadia hadn't noticed that Tyson was intently staring at him with a wild grin on his face, eventually noticing the grin on Tyson's face, Xadia had thought "what a strange one".

"Let's go," Tyson said as he led xadia into the building on the left

Going past the building floors, Tyson had led xadia to a hallway and they were now in front of a door, and Tyson had opened it.

There were two beds in the room, both spread out from one another evenly, a single desk and cupboard were placed by the side of both beds and a door at the corner led to the bathroom.

"That's your bedside and that's mine". Tyson explained

"I'll let you settle in, I gotta go find counselor hex," and with that Tyson left the room

After Tyson left, Xadia was debating on what to do next, after having a conference in his mind, he decided to have a bath.

Amidst taking his cloth off, a potent smell wafted into his nostrils, and Xadia leaned, slowly falling to the bed losing consciousness.
