While other students were listening to the story given to them by Mr. Lee, Alex had already chosen a weapon which was a dagger and was trying to practice and get familiar with his new weapon at a corner behind the class which piqued Mr. Lee's attention. After his story, Mr. Lee asked the
students to get familiar with their weapons for the rest of the class. By the end of the class it was already lunch time and Alex went to the canteen to buy food, at the academy, students are paid a monthly allowance which is sent to their account to be received on their smart watch. Unlike Alex,there are some students who come from a wealthy family and do not have to worry about their expenses
While Alex was waiting in line, he was getting weird looks from other students and he didn't know why but he shrugged it off guessing it was because he refused to take the academy's ability book.Finally, it was his turn and he bought his food and left there to avoid more gazes. He ate his lunch in his room and decided to take a nap by the time he woke up, he saw Liam in the room working on a device and decided not to disturb him so, went eat outside.
While he was outside, he noticed someone who attended high school with him and tried to hide to avoid unnecessary attention. but, unfortunately for him, he was seen by Josh, the leader of the gang.
Josh shouted Alex name and when he tried to run, Josh caught up with him and gave him a hard punch on the shoulder. "If it isn't Alex... I hope you've missed me old friend" he said to Alex ironically "You've have finally crawled your way into the academy, did you miss me that much?? "Josh said, and the boys behind him began to laugh."
They took Alex to a secluded part of the academy "I don't want any trouble please," Alex said but,Josh and his friends just laughed at him "You see we don't want any trouble either, just transfer your monthly allowance to us and we'll leave you alone," Josh said, but he refused. "You think you're tough uhh?"One of Josh's friends said, "Let's teach this rookie some manners," Josh said, and then they beat him up, trashed him and forcefully collected the allowance from him.
Alex went back to his room limping, with a lot of bruises on his body then Liam saw him. "What happened to you dude?" Liam asked him as he tried to help him to sit down "I just got into a little trouble with some other students" Alex replied him "This is so messed up "Liam said.
Alex went to the bathroom, had a shower and cleaned up his wounds. He felt so frustrated that he had to go through this even in military school. It wasn't like he didn't expect it, it was just that he thought it wouldn't happen this early. He decided that he would train and become stronger even without an ability.
So he left the room and went to the training room in the school. He went over to the dumbbells and tried his best to lift them he tried so hard that he felt like his hands had fallen off. He got so frustrated that he couldn't even lift a dumbbell so he stood up in anger and punched the wall behind him with his right hand, "Uggh," Alex said in pain.
The wall was a little bruised but his hand was worse and started bleeding, he held his fist in his
right and then the blood slowly rolled down his arm and dropped on the bracelet he was wearing.The blood touched the center piece of the bracelet, and then it started to glow really brightly. It glowed even brighter and then he went unconscious, right there on the floor.
In just a few minutes Alex regained consciousness. "What the hell just happened?" he asked.
(Loading System)
A screen popped up "Am I still unconscious.... what's this "Alex said as he stared at the screen in front of him.

(Hello Mr. Alex)
A voice said and he saw a screen in front of him. He stood there dumbfounded.
