Slowly standing up, Xadia rubbed his hand on his head as he was seeing stars, the floor was now in craters as it was where xadia had landed when the tentacles had thrown him.
Looking up in the distance Xadia was hoping his plan had succeeded, luckily it had as the dark purple storm that xadia was seeing was soon fading away.
Moving to where Tyson had fallen there was no sign of Max or his friends, the sun was still beaming with energy but was slowly turning orange, it was evening and xadia was wondering how long he had been knocked out.
Lifting Tyson on his shoulders Xadia headed for the dorm, and carefully placing Tyson on the bed, Xadia lurched his way to his bed, and ensconcing himself he soon drifted into a sleep.
"Wake up you filthy animal". the voice of Tyson resonated into Xadia's ear, making him open his eyes.
"You're awake! the amulet is it working?"Xadia asked as Tyson was dressed in a new uniform.
"Yes, I don't feel unhinged or possessed, thank you," Tyson said bearing a smile.
"Is your familiar twith he reason why everyone in the class is avoiding you, I noticed you have no friends in class, it's like everyone hates you or something"
"Last semester, I hurt one of our classmates, he was an ice siphon, during a sparring competition, my familiar stabbed him in the chest, damaging his solar plexus and his core, he has been transferred to another school, that's why everyone has been avoiding me," Tyson said with a saddened face.
"Oh okay, you won't have to worry about losing control now," Xadia said with a smile.
"You might want to avoid fighting or getting in situations that will force you to use your powers, you're powerless right now, so don't go around causing trouble"
"I can still use my powers" pointing his hand at his cupboard, it started to levitate from the ground and soon it came back down.
"The amulet's just suppressing my familiar, I can still use my powers"
"ymYour familiar's a pain in the ass, literally," Xadia said as he rubbed his hands on his butt and they both laughed.
"I have to go buy some groceries I've finished my food stuff" Tyson.
"Okay, I'll be dressed up before you arrive"
Normally Xadia would have offered a Currell pack to Tyson, but he had decided against it, he had used about ten thousand credits for his Currell packs and for the salt and siberie plant he bought for the suppression spell for Tyson's amulet.
The credits that he had somewhat stolen from the gang were slowly going down, and not knowing of any way of gaining credits in this new era, he would conserve his packs.
Xadia then took his bath and helped himself to a Currell pack, quickly finishing it before the arrival of a certain person, he then placed an empty container in the dimensional bracelet making a mental note to dispose of all the empty Currell containers in the bracelet later.
Soon Tyson returned with his groceries, he then placed them in his cupboard, leaving two juice boxes as an exception.
"Here'" Tyson said with a smile on his face gesturing at Xadia to take the juice box in his hand.
"Thanks". Xadia responded taking the juice Boca and they began slurping away heading to class.
Arriving at the class nearly all the students had arrived and Xadia and Tyson had sat in their usual place, at the back of the class, soon everyone had arrived including Mr Harper.
The lesson started with Mr. Harper bringing out a siphon plant, the plant looked like a floribunda rose and had structures like cocoons dangling down its edges, he then started explaining the properties of the plant, that it was sensitive to energy.
Mr. Harper then sprinkled some crystal dust on the flower, and soon the cocoons started to open up bursting with pink and purple dust.
He then took one of the cocoons and threw it on the floor, bursting with color the plant was nowhere to be seen and so was Mr Harper as they had disappeared from the class ending the lesson.
The students already knew how Mr. Harper fancied the siphon plants and his research, he'd always throw tantrums like this, compelling them to always attend his class.
Now outside the class, xadia asked Tyson which lesson he would be attending next, he was about to reply when Ivy had come over to them.
"Tyson!, I haven't seen you in days, your friend over there got me worried asking for a suppression spell saying it was from you," Ivy said making xadia smile in a bashful way.
"It was from me!,I was cultivating my energy core,and I was releasing too much energy, I needed to suppress it a little bit."
"Oh ,so have you have had a break through"
"Not yet, I'm almost at the yellow core stage, just a little more cultivation and I'll be through"
"Good luck...., Xadia!". ivy greeted heading for her next class.
"Cultivation?" Xadia asked puzzled.
"Yh...ooh I see, you don't know what cultivation is, can't blame you,when you search on the web about siphons it doesn't bring it out,let me explain"
"We siphons have seven core stages, I'll core started to have colour with every cultivation of energy to the center of the core"
"The seven stages black,red,orange, yellow,silver and white while a deviant has a blue core stage,the purity and colour of the stages determines how much energy we can conjure inside and outside of our body"
"I am at the light red core stage, I'm few cultivations away from advancing to the orange stage, so if I said I was cultivating she wouldn't ask any questions about the supression spell,a lot of people have a wild outburst of energy having a hard time advancing to the next level, they go to means of suppression of energy to reduce their energy rate,we have a class for that which is the cultivation class where I'm headed,see you later lover boy." Tyson teased.
"I might need to go to the cultivation class,but since I'm not registered as a siphon,I can't go now,maybe after the semester break I can register as an augmenter siphon" Xadia thought to himself.
"Now to the martial class,I haven't attended the class,since I registered in the school, I'll get to see counselor hex again" Xadia said as he headed for the martial class building.
Arriving at the class,the room appeared to be like a dojo in one of the movies Xadia usually watched in his past life, it was a wide empty room with wallpapers hanging at the sides here and there, the floor was wooden and so was the sliding doors,it led to another room that looked to be where the weapons were kept.
The students were already inside practicing forms and move that displayed on a holoscreen,at the center of the room,they seemed to be wearing glowing sash belts around their waist,it was tied to their waist to induce balance.
Xadia soon moved to the weapon's room,admiring all the weapons on the weapon racks that his eyes could behold, Xadia could see a Jo rack that all the glowing staffs stood,a bokken rack with all the wooden swords,a dagger rack were weapons like the sai and shirt swords was placed and finally the swords rack.
There were different type of sword designs placed on the racks and Xadia was mystified at all the different types of swords,the xiphos,the rapier,the broadsword and long sword, different type of swords xadia had studied after a consequent watch of "the teenage mutant ninja turtles" back in his childhood days.
And finally in a different rack stood the hilt of a sword,but there was no blade,different type of energy colours could be seen around the hilt,and xadia was reacting to it as his hair had started to vibrate.
"You'll have that when you're able to beat me in a lei tai honourary duel" an old voice interupted xadia.
To xadia's surprise it was an old man in a dress that somewhat looked like a himono the only exception was that it was glowing,he had a bald hair and white eyebrows and a white Fu Manchu moustache type with a tail-like tendril dangling down his jaw,he looked like a monk.
"Uhm sorry it's a beautiful....err hilt" Xadia answered not knowing what to term to use.
"With all the students that come here,only few are able to notice this piece of junk,you must be special"
"Is counselor hex not here" xadia asked
"Oh,that stubborn brat his at the second year's martial class, that's his domain"
"You shouldn't be in here, all your mates are out there breaking a sweat"
"I'm new here, master..."
"paku"
"Sorry master paku"xadia said giving a bow.
" It's good to see that some of you still have proper etiquette, now go join your mates"
Moving to the other room, Xadia quickly took a sash belt and joined in practice with his mates.
Soon the screen changed into a picture of two figures standing a meter away from each other, the students understood the picture and they started sparring with each other.
Xadia was one of many that had been left out, they didn't have any to spar with as they had been considered weak, and they had gathered to watch the others that were sparring together.
"You level two's need to know your place!!". A student with a ponytail hairstyle shouted glaring at others in the room having defeated all his opponents In a row.
"Who's next"
Soon a student with black hair joined him in the sparring area and surprisingly the student's wrist lustered an irritating level one.
"Me" Xadia announced.
