The next day.
The students were woken up by the school alarm. it was the signal for everyone to start the fresh day,.
As Michael woke up, the first thing he saw was the system screen.
"I am so hungry."
The school canteen was a open space with modular furniture and interactive digital displays. Holographic menus changed based on dietary preferences and seasonal ingredients. Students ordered meals through augmented reality interfaces, customizing their dishes in real-time.
Chefs prepared food in a transparent kitchen, showcasing the cooking process, while nutritional information was prominently displayed to promote healthy choices. The canteen included various themed dining zones, such as a plant-based area and an international cuisine sections.
The low grades sat on one side of the hall while the high grade sat on the other side. Michael didn't care about it. Because this was the normal school hierarchy. Just because he didn't care, it doesn't mean that he accepts it but the social norms appeared to have been established.
Michael, Blake and Cole walked over to a table. Five students sat on anothr table opposite theirs. A student walked over to the students to the front of the line and signalled them to stand up, they immediately left the table. No one could retaliate to this unethical behaviour. Cole and Micheal was about to stand up to them, Blake stopped them.
Blake was also annoyed, he hated when things like this happened. But the cafeteria hall was not the right place to start a fight.
He was about to challenge the higher grade. Two other students sat with the boy. it was Ryan and the student micheal bited,Alex. He was now awake and it seemed like he was part of the school bullys.
"Sh*t, that why the students were all staring at us as Blake carried him on his back to the healing bay, I hope he doesn't remember us."
"Darn. Will he remember us?" Cole asked
The three of them immediately ducked out of sight. As the three of them ordered and got their foods immediately.
It was finally Micheal, Cole and Blake's turn for their food. They got their foods. Micheal began to eat immediately.
Micheal ignored the table ethics and started to dig into the food like he had not eaten for several days. The students attention were now diverted to him as they saw him eating like a ferocious animal.
Micheal was always a glutton but he never had enough money to afford three square meals a day. He would eat only once or sometimes twice way back before he came to this school, he ate it all before anyone could even start to eat thier's.
"Are you going to eat that?" Micheal asked Cole as he pointed his hands at Blake's food. "Yes, you're not the only one who knows how to eat." Cole said while he dragged his food closer to himself.
"Okay. I was just asking," Micheal said as he pretended to not care. Suddenly, Micheal jumped at Cole's food trying to snacth it from him. Cole immediately raised his food with his hands above his head while Micheal fell onto the table with a displeased expression.
"Fu*k you, food snatcher." Cole said as he smiled at Micheal who was getting off the table.
He was now rest assured that he had a new ability and in fact, the one he really needed. The ability to use his blood to create a weapon, now he doesn't need to have a beast weapon anymore.
"Blake, Try to copy my ability." Micheal requested with a look of excitement on his face, Blake stared at him shocked by this vigorous request.
"Your vampire abilities or which one?" Blake replied in a low tone.
"Just do it!!" Cole stared at the both of them as he didn't understand what they were saying and doing, he never knew that Blake could copy abilities. Blake touched Micheal's hands so as to do what Micheal requested.
"I didn't want to say this.." Blake paused to look at Micheal then he started to laugh as he held his stomach for his uncontrollable laughter.
Micheal amd Cole wasn't the only one looking at him, thinking he had gone crazy. "You don't have an ability, that i can copy." Blake teased as he continued to laugh.
Micheal wondered, that it means the system doesn't allow his ability to be copied. Instead, it reads the ability.
"Yes!!,eat my ass." A smile appeared across Micheal's face
"Class starts in two minutes, Last person to arrive will clean the dorms toilet for a week and eat shit in the process." An announcement was made through the PA system. The voice resembled that of a bot programmed to curse at students.
All the students in the hall started to run to class like crazy as they trampled on everything, some even flew over thier tables to get outside the cafeteria.
Surprisedly, Micheal and the other two were leading this unexpected race. He used the staircase instead of the elevator. "Class 4, Ground floor." Micheal muttered as he put the screen back into his pocket.
"Lick my feet." Micheal screamed at the top of his voice as he was running to the class.
He arrived at the Class, Micheal spotted Lisa and Kaylee, they were in the Class, seated.
"What the heck? Didn't they eat breakfast" he thought.
Lisa noticed Micheal "Hey dumbass, Join the Class, where is Cole and Blake?"
Michael went inside the class as soon as Blake and Cole arrived at the Classroom along with the other Students.
"Welcome to your first virtual class, Students" the unknown voice said and suddenly, all the lights went off and a screen appeared in front of the class.
