Astral city
Early morning ...
A young man of about sixteen years of age could be seen running on the street listening to music and purposely avoiding the spot we're people are sweating profusely and running past some houses and stopped at the gate of a mansion.
He stopped his music and brought out a card inserted it on a slot and a small opening enough to fit a person opened, he took the card and he calmly walked in and a male butler came to meet him.
Train hard young master because your awakening process is in a week time, the man called Sebastian gave him a towel.
I'll try my best the young man said, he then rushed to the bathroom to prepare for school, as he came out it was time for breakfast.
His parents were already on the table preparing to eat, he then walked up to them his mom first noticed him; Jacob were have you been all this morning?
I went out to take a small run.
He then sat down and proceed to eat the simple but luxury food silently enjoying it and as he was done he packed his things and went to school.
Jacobs mom looked at his retreating figure silently.
We need him to get a strong ability so when the government send people out to kill beast he can survive, Jacobs mom muttered.
The gate opened and a private driver came to pick him up a man that seemed to be in his thirties he had slightly pointy ears like an elf, but he lacks the aura of an Elf's so he had to be a half Elf Jacob thought.
The man quickly moved the car heading for the school.
Jacob opened the window and silently stared outside viewing the beautiful city he was burn into, it is one of the neutral cities in the central region that welcome all species.
Shortly later they reach the school Jacob stepped down from the vehicle, he started walking to the entrance the security stopped him to comfirm his ID as a student.
He brought out a bronze card, made for students in the dormant class.
The guards opened the gate, letting him in.
The gates were tall and sturdy able to withstand attacks of monsters if it ever happened.
The school was separated into two parts; the one for dormant students and another part for Awakened ones but that doesn't mean that Awaken students can't come to the dormant class.
In the dormant class they train students until their awakening period, they teach them how to use different kinds of weapons until they choose a specific ones they are used to.
As he reached the class or training area that was filled specifically today the instructor was already there and he was going to do the weekly assessment on their skills and strength before they awaken.
Jacob sat down on a platform wide enough to fit some people as they were in a practical area.
It wasn't long till some people came and meet him two guys and two girls, they were all his friends but he didn't spend much time with them.
The girl with the long blonde hair Alicia an Elf, the other girl with short red hair with fox ears (Jenny) a beastkin, and the two guys Nike and Tim, with Nick a human and Tim an Elf.
Nick the more muscler one walked to him where we're you the whole time? You are late it's almost our turn.
Jacob awkwardly apologized.
"Come on let's go" Jenny dragged him up and they reached a part designated for dueling which students were testing their skills with weapons and sparing under the watch of instructors.
As a spot became empty it was time for their group to spar under the watch of their instructor. Some people make a group to spar with each other like a group of friends and the instructor will oversee the fight and grade them.
Nick and Jenny come out! The instructor called; they both walked out confidently to the platform. Nick took his fighting stance his face turned cold and calculative, Jenny tale wagged from excitement and her eyes glowed with a shade of red her nails grew sharp.
She then launched at him with a speed stronger than a normal human but Nick wasn't any weak.
Despite she not being awakened, beastkins have racial ability unique to them, so as other races.
But Nick wasn't any puchover his muscles bulged as he sidestepped and dodged her charge swiftly
As Jenny landed she made a U turn and launched at him again with more ferocity instantly reaching him with her superior agility, she grabbed his left arm tightly before he could move.
But she made a mistake underestimating his strength, Nick immediately used his other hand with his superior strength and grabbed her neck and smashed her to the ground breaking some tiles, her eyes dimmed and she loose consciousness...
Alicia rushed to her on the platform and brought out a pill and quickly put it in her mouth making her swallow it and some moments later her eyes flotter open.
Nick could could be seen resting on the ground as a female instructor named Betty could be seen tending to his wounds he got on the match, her arms were glowing slightly and the scratch marks slowly closed up and he was as good as new.
And now it was the turn of Alicia and Tim, she was good with using bow and arrows and Tim was good with dagger it won't be a surprise if he awakens a concealment ability.
They both stood opposite to each other Tim brought out two blunt daggers as it was for only training and rushed at her, she immediately draw her bow and released the string on her arrow and fired them, Tim swiftly dodged them gaining the applause of other students.
She quickly shot a barrage of arrow and was also moving so Tim doesn't get closer.
This continued for seven minutes straight Alicia was running out of arrows and Tim was getting tired as his stamina was running out.
Tim did some thing unexpected he tossed one of his dagger at her at fast speeds and made one last out burst of speed, Alicia quickly dodged the dagger but her eyes lost sight of Tim and his dagger quickly reached the back of her neck at quickly.
She sensed his presence but couldn't move in time an accident was bound to happen but the male instructor was already there holding Tims dagger effortlessly.
Match over he said coldly Tim felt cold sweat on his back.
"Tim wins." He announced.
Jacob was silently pondering if he could win in any match that has passed he wasn't that strong, he could be considered the weakest here nothing special about him the only thing good is that his family is rich maybe that's why I have some friends.
His family did help pay some their school fees in this academy he was worried if his friends will look him the same way when they awaken.
Unknown to him everyone has been pared and has fighted and he was the last person to duel.
Jacob! the instructor called him snapping him out of his daze.
