[Edith]
"I should probably go and train until classes start."
I made my way to room number 23, its an enclosure, hexagonal shaped pure white and fully enforced.
Once I enter, the door will be locked and if any creature comes in, until it's way beyond my league, No one will come to save me.
It's a rule made by the government to ensure everyone is treated equally and get equal opportunity to improve.
I entered the enclosure, and in the middle of it stood the transparent portal.
The boon and curse of the cosmos.
I sat facing the portal cross legged and started absorbing the cosmic energy coming out from it.
It's hard to describe this feeling, when one absorbs the energy but it feels as if every cell…No…every atom of your body is dancing in joy and at the time dreading in utmost fear.
As I am told, the more I nourish myself with this energy, the more my body will adapt to it, eventually I will be able to perceive the energy with naked eyes, and be able to morph it in any ways I deemed it to be.
I have reached that stage ages ago but now. I'm stuck, my body is way more nourished than my peers but I still can't manifested any elements from it.
Maybe today will be different.
My Teachers as well as my uncle said that it's a problem only I know can solve.
I don't understand, if I have to solve everything myself then why would I even waste my time at the college, shouldn't I just stay here and try to train myself.
I clench my head," Ahh….. I'm wasting time thinking about such things."
Yeah, I will eventually do it. There is no need to sweat about it.
Saying so I consoled myself and started concentrating, trying to understand the cosmic energy, playing around with it through my consciousness.
After 1 hours,
"No luck yet."
I was drenched in sweat, it's also a property shown by the energy. It cleans your body's impurities. Reason why people don't look their age these days, I mean longer lifespan is also a reason perhaps.
"I should clean myself now."
I went to the bathroom, situated in the long ass corner of the facility.
I disintegrate my clothes back to my portable watch and cleaned myself.
After 30mins,
I dry myself by commanding the cosmic energy, only stuff I could do, 'petty party tricks'. I change back in my casuals.
"Having a mini space to store things is awfully convenient. Junia is my favourite."
I checked on my watch, it was past 10am.
"It's time for college, I should be there."
I made my way to college, about 20 mins walk from the facility.
The whole college is a huge compound. There are many different gimmicks of strength shown by the new generation. As such different departments are present, So they could improve 'themselves' faster and efficiently.
As the number of people with abilities increases, the death rates would also decrease.
Probably...
I went to my classroom. First class is about the creatures.
"Annoying."
Students sit in a row and column sequence, two students per seat. There is no gender distinction. So, there's that. The teachers teach with the holographic board in front.
The total students in my section 4-A are 36. There are many classes but the stronger you are the higher class you will get.
I don't really have friends, I usually sit at the last seat which I just took.
The teacher entered the class, a slightly dull skinned, brown haired and eyes and a well developed body.
His name is Mr. Nine. This class Creatureology teacher.
"I really hate that name."
After this class the next one was History, Martial arts then the last Control class.
I'm really tired. I should wait at the gate, Uncle would be there.
"He is not here. Did something happen?."
Usually he is extremely punctual but today it's been 30 mins since the classes ended.
My hands started sweating, I couldn't place my eyes in one place.
"I am suffocating."
"Hello Miss Edith, is your uncle late? Mind if I drop you home."
The person calling me, Kaltain, fair skinned, tall, silver hair, violet eyes and a developed body with wide shoulders. An attractive guy from anywhere you see him.
Class 1-A, Rank 1
"I don't need it."
"*Laughs*, don't worry I'm not gonna do anything to you. Just because you rejected me."
That's right, this guy has feelings for me. He really is a guy many girls would die for to be in any kind of relationship with him. Not me though, he seems creepy as if he is hiding something or maybe I just have an inferiority complex.
"He will come, you don't have to worry."
He gestures at the cafe of our campus, "Ok, So how about I accompany you until he comes back."
To stop his pestering, I reluctantly accepted the offer.
