In a large lecture hall, the professor's voice resonated as he spoke.
"Everyone in this world is born with unique powers or magic. Yet, activating these powers can be challenging at times, it requires actions that could influence your entire life."
"Powers are restricted to us from birth. Scientists and specialized researchers are working to discover the roots of these abilities and how they are linked to the 'Pages'... Anyone in today's world cannot naturally wield more than one power."
"Some may refer to them as powers or attributes, but they are the same. Here at this university, as your mentors, we will strive to guide you on the right paths. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what you want to become and how to control your power."
"Aah this is getting so fucking boring..."
Vrit sitting in the back of the lecture hall thought in his mind
"Everybody knows this type of bullshit... we all have heard it from some person or sawn on television about this fucking pages."
Two hours later...The bell rang, and all the students stood up from their seats and hurried out. Some had slept through the class, while others were waking up and packing their belongings.
"Fuck would you look at this, not even a single fuck listened to what he was teaching, what do you think about this Kunal?"
Vrit looked to his right and spoke to the person sitting beside him. Kunal, who was in his Twenties, heard what Vrit said, laughed sarcastically, and replied to Vrit.
"Yeah... like why would anyone want to listen to this 'fucking' crap that they had been fed since childhood?"
"Yeah... Y-you are probably right..."
"Hey, do you want to discuss anything? Let's meet at the university practice ground or training centres. I have to go urgently!"
"Well text me the timings."
"Ohk... I'm sorry about this Vrit."
"Oh... Don--"
Kunal leaves quickly, packing and shoving the things in his bag.
Vrit also packing to leave, then a sudden thought crossed his mind,
"Sigh... ... why would I even come to this university... Only if it weren't for that!"
A Flashback from his past suddenly hits him in his head...
A boy holding a pen in his hand stabbing someone in the neck,
*Stab* *Stab* *Stab*
He took long deep Breaths, he spoke with a sacred voice.
"Haa... Fuck why... now all of a sudden..."
Vrit packed his bag as the class was almost empty. He rushed out, running through the university's hallways, and entering the washroom.
He opened the tap and cold water gushed out.
The water gathered in his hand, and he splashed it on his skin, creating a cooling sensation. But from a certain distance, he heard noises from the farthest corner of the washroom. It was faint from far but, could be heard clearly on moving closer.
He heard a voice, shouting in anger.
"Haa... Brad why, just why won't you FUCKING LISTEN!!!"
"I will... just don't hurt me-- please!"
"When I asked you to do the fucking work you are supposed to do it... Fuck! Barney Hold him."
Vrit thought,
"Barney... Brad... and this voice... I think it might be of Emilieo Montana... fuck he is onto?"
Beating sounds like someone was getting punched or banged in the head...
Brad shouts out in deep pain and repeats sorry, again and again along with asking for forgiveness.
"Fuck! Before these idiots kill Brad on campus I would need to do something... but this... still not my fucking problem... Ok!"
Vrit rushes out of the washroom and starts shouting.
"Fuck, Brad you are gonna owe me one for this... GUYS... GUYS DO YOU KNOW EMILIEO FROM THE SECOND COURSE... HE IS BULYING BRAD!!!"
There was chatter all across the hallway, and students were starting to gather even rushing to go inside, the gathered students near the washroom were starting to discuss,
"Hey, are you sure it's Emilieo? like Emilieo Montana cause... he is like an angel off this campus!"
"Fuck yeah better Confirm it?"
"Who the fuck is even Brad?"
"Wait Are they really fighting in the washroom? who's winning?"
"Ahh... I love Him so much!!!"
"You don't love him, you love his money!"
"Fuc..."
Vrit swiftly got out of the crowd, cause some of the staff with teachers were coming to that place. On his way back he thought.
"Yeah... it was kind of unusual, for me... to do this kind of thing, for someone I barely knew-"
A Person from a distance came running and shouting at Vrit, for him to stop.
"Huff... haa... W-W-were you- the person who shouted?"
Vrit looked at the person in front of him, was a student with a weak body, black eyes, barely had any muscles, and wore spectacles, but he had beautiful and fair white skin that contrasted with dark charcoal-coloured hair...
He was bruised severely on his hands, which he tried to hide with his long sleeves. However, it was still visible, and Vrit quickly figured out who he was.
"Uh... You might be Broody right?"
"Uhh... I don't know who is broody but I'm Brad, and nice to meet you!"
He stretched his hand forward looking out for a handshake.
"Yeah... Nice to meet you Brad... so, why are you here?"
Vrit refused to shake his hand, Brad retracted his hand back.
"I'm here because I wanted to thank you for helping me out, 'cause you were the one who shouted out... you know what you did was very helpful and I don't know what would have happened--"
"Uh.. buddy look I get you were bullied for some reason I can figure that out by looking at the bruises on your hand but, you got the wrong person."
"Vrit... How could I be wrong? I heard from some people talking about you."
He was nervous, which made Vrit cautious. Vrit tried to end the conversation and walk away in the opposite direction, but Brad started to follow him and continued talking. Suddenly, Vrit pushed Brad and spoke calmly.
"I don't know what tricks you might be pulling here but this won't result in any positive outcomes for you."
"Uh... whatever, but I wanted to thank you Vrit!"
"Yeah, and I'm happy that the situation didn't escalate any--"
"So you agree... You were the one that helped me right?"
You know... my skill sometimes passively acts on its own, my power is [ Mind control] through which, I'm able to take control of the minds of other people but, that only happens when I'm completely using my power... and that's not the only thing I could do with this.
{Passive attribute}
The eyes of Vrit glowed in blue colour as he looked into Brad's eyes, and he could see through some of the memories of Brad, he wasn't able to see faces but was able to hear voices.
"Hey, I'm gonna give you one chance to make your mistakes right?"
"Okay!"
"You are gonna inquire and ask everyone and bring me the fucker on the side of the road who shouted in the hallway."
Vrit realised that
"Oh... Fuck I played right to their trap."
A sleek black-coloured car with tinted windows stopped at the side of the road.
It was followed by two different vehicles, which stopped behind each other. Two people inside of the front vehicle stepped out grabbed Vrit's body, and forced it into the car.
Vrit thought in his mind,
"Yeah, Now they've Grabbed me... let's see how this could turn out."
"Hello, My friend... 'Vrit', How might you be?"
Said a person from the front seat, while the people in the back were busy covering Vrits head in a black bag that barely had space just for breathing, and he continued to speak.
"You see, I don't have a grudge against you... Fuck I didn't even know you existed at the university, But you--"
"Sigh~ get to the fucking point."
After a moment of silence.
"Look, I know you are Emilez Montana, the bigshot at our university, but I don't care about that. Why would you waste your time and money on someone like me."
"So you do know who I am? Things just got a little easier."
All of them were silent and after some time Vrit spoke.
"Hmm... so I won't just escape from here... let's discuss what I should do if I want to live."
"Oh... Don't worry I'm not gonna kill You, over such a trivial matter but, you should understand who I am, Who my Father is!... and if you truly know about that then it would be even easier."
Vrit thought,
"Yeah I guess he knows everything about my powers because of this, he first sent Brad so that I would have to use my skills and then... he knows everything about me... but I also know some rumours, let's check it if those were true or not."
"So I know your father is like a boss of this area? And he is PDF?"
All of a sudden Emileo burst out in anger.
"Where the fuck did you hear that... He is not PDF and he isn't just 'like a Boss' He is the boss of this whole fucking state! Not the area."
Well, this confirms the rumour about him wanting to be acknowledged by his father and his anger issues, Vrit asked a question to Emilieo.
"So I guess you already know about my power, don't you?... Mind control."
Laughing sarcastically, Emilieo replied, "Yeah, why wouldn't I."
"Hmm...Then I guess You used 'drugs' to pass in the exams?"
"I don't get what problems you have with me but, I should warn you not to anger me any further or else this won't end any better!"
"Yeah... that's so scary if you need to use your family's name, drugs, father's name too... and to top all of it, use these ridiculously tight blindfolds to prevent me from using my powers."
"Well I get you are provoking me but we've reached... at the place, and I have remembered everything you spoke..."
The car stops after a long drive, and all the people from the three vehicles move out they are dragging Vrit and all he can do is hear the things from the environment.
Hmm... while walking in this place it feels like a sandy or dusty place... there is also no noise of any vehicles or humans... it is distant from normal places, and there is also a faint smell of chemicals... could this be a--
"Factory!"
