Chereads / TALENT:UNKNOWN / Chapter 5 - The beginning

Chapter 5 - The beginning

'Hal, wake up. Not the best time to play dead.' I heard Sam's voice calling out for me.

I opened my eyes and everything was quite blurry at first. I looked at Sam and asked, 'Don't tell me fainting from a fall is considered rude here.'

'That's not rude, but jumping off the platform and attacking your instructor is considered quite rude.' said a voice from below. 

I looked down and I was laying on top of someone. Getting flustered I stood up and said my apologies to her.

The last thing I remembered was me falling down with a platform. I don't remember a thing about jumping off of it or attacking someone else.

'You look quite flustered there boy. No wonder. It was me who attacked you first. So, there you don't need to apologize yourself.' said the lady.

I looked at her and she was quite beautiful with purple hair and purple body armor. It was of the same color as that of lady Annes' but it was quite slim and not of the bulky type. It looked more like a body suit rather than an armor.

And that is when I realized something, her body hadn't touched the ground. She seems to be floating, to be more exact, she seems to be laying on something. 

' First of all, I'm quite disappointed in you boy. I got the message from Jessie that someone with quite the rare talent was being sent to me. By the looks of it, I guess your talent didn't get activated during the fall. Anyway, we'll try everything in order to activate it. By the way, my name's Nasiya. You boys can call me Nas. Official classes begins from tomorrow. New kid, you've got to get accustomed fast and clear all your pending classes. Till then Adieu.' she said this vanished leaving behind fine ,minute ,transparent threads flying in the air. 

'The name's Hank. What do you go by?' asked a young kid with green hair who walked up towards me hearing all the commotion.

'I'm Hal. Nice meeting you Hank.' I said holding my hand out.

 'Just so you know, I'm not trying to be nice. I'll kill you once you're out of here.' said the little kid shaking my hand with a smile on his face.

' Don't you think that was kind of mean you little brat?' I squeezed the kid's hand and smiled back.

The kid groaned in pain and his face was red. He went on his way quite angered. 

'Kids these days.' I turned around and said to Sam.

Sam looked like he had seen a ghost. His eyes were about to pop out. 

'I guess you'll live 10 more years. I'll be there to pour you a glass at your gravestone.' said Sam.

'What do you mean? You got scared by a kid. Come on Sam. I thought you Neonsters were better than that.' I said

'That little kid wiped out an entire city, the size of Engranate.' said Sam.

'Stop with the bullshit man. That's just a kid.' I said

'I don't know the whole story. But, he was the only survivor form the city of Alzert. He found by Nas and she took full responsibility of taking care of him. I heard she used to be one among the King's Cardials.' Sam said

' What's a Cardial?' I asked.

'Serioulsy? You don't know what a Cardial is? Lady Anne who sponsors for you is a Cardial herself. They are the knights of the Kingdom.' said Sam

'So, did I just attack a Cardial and defeat her?' I asked

'Nah, she must've put a lot of limiters blocking her from using her full power. So that you don't get injured.' said Sam.

'Well, I was getting happy for no reason.' I said

' But your moves were kind of cool. Where'd you learn them?' Sam asked.

'Aziz taught me.' I lied cause I don't want someone finding out that I don't even remember a thing.

'You got to teach me those moves.' said Sam.

'Sure.' I said 

'Now that that's out of the way let me introduce you to our class.' said Sam and he walked me inside the dorms.
