In Grandstate's capital, Firestone, was an academy for dreamknights.
It's purpose was to train the future generations of dreamknights to protect humanity.
It was a large piece of land cut of from the rest of the city by a giant wall and several other acres of land.
Inside the walls, buildings ranged from large complexes to small sheds. At the far right where the dorm buildings that functioned as homes for students.
To the far left were numerous battlefields for combat practice.
In the centre was a large complex connected to several other buildings circling a ludicrously large dome shaped structure.
At the gate to enter the walls of the school, were two teens walking inside pulling suitcases.
Nebula seemed very familiar with the place and had an uninterested look on her face.
In contrast however, Zeke was struggling to keep his excitement of what he was looking at.
Numerous questions were playing in his mind of whether this was real or not.
Despite all his childlike wonder, he still had a burning question in his mind.
"What games do they have here?."
While he puzzled over that , Nebula tapped on her bracelet as a video image popped up.
On it was a message for all students to report to the side field at 9am.
The two had arrived at 6am, this they had quite the amount of time to just mess around.
Nebula led Zeke to her living quarters and let him store his suitcase there for a while.
Her room was on the second floor of the first Dorm building and was extremely spacious.
She put her palm on the screen next to her door as a scanning sound began ringing.
After a few seconds, a green light glowed on the screen and the door opened.
They walked inside into what seemed like a villa. Zeke couldn't help but like the aesthetic of the place.
It had six bedrooms, two kitchens, one big living room and three bathrooms.
It was very luxurious and he couldn't help but find it comfortable. He walked into one of the rooms and placed his case on the bed.
Zeke took a look at the well kept interior of the place and after admiring it for a moment, went into a moment of deep thinking.
'i don't think it's safe for me to walk outside with my eyes like this. He knoes that, so why let me come over here?.'
Zeke couldn't exactly understand the reason behind his father's decision but decided to just go with it.
Tying the blindfold around his eyes, he walked out of the room and sat on the living room sofa.
He waited for Nebula to return from whatever she was doing while examining the room.
Zeke noticed the large TV and started randomly skipping through channels looking for something interesting.
This would look like a blind person just randomly skipping through channels he can't see and that is exactly what was happening.
He repeated the process for a while before stopping on one of the channels and slightly opening his blindfold for one eye.
On the TV was a story about how Alduin's national museum had been robbed and the offender disappeared before anyone could realise who it was.
He watched with a newfound interest when Nebula entered.
"I have a game we should play, let's go right now."
He tried to hold onto the table but was dragged away from the seat and the entire room.
The TV kept playing long after he had left as they released the name of the suspect.
"Hector"
...
Zeke was dragged to one of the buildings near Nebula's residence.
It was an arcade that was almost empty. The only other person here was a guy in a hoodie playing one of the pinball machines.
He paused the moment the duo entered and turned his head their direction. This revealed his yellow eyes and black hair before he turned back to the game.
Ignoring the weird fellow, Nebula pulled him to the air hockey machine.
Without wasting time, she began showing how the game is played and he showed growing excitement.
The moment she let him try, he rushed to the other side of the table and started competing with her.
The two kept playing for 2 whole hours without keeping track of the time.
Only after they got bored did they finally stop. The entire establishment was filled with different students doing numerous other games at this point.
Tapping on her watch, Nebula finally noticed that there was only one hour left.
"Sorry for taking so much of your free time like that ."
She did think it was a bit selfish that she hadn't let him decide what he wanted to do and had taken so much of their time.
"I don't mind, I enjoyed every second of it."
To her surprise, only a genuine smile was on his face as he didn't care that much about it.
With one hour left, Zeke decided to roam around the school. This casual walk took thirty minutes with how large the school was.
He had walked from the far right of the school to the far left.
Everywhere he went, he's appearance caught people's attention. They were curious if what he hid behind his blindfold.
On the other hand, they were curious who he was to be walking so casually with Nebula.
She was one of the most captivating and beautiful young women in the entire school.
Some had jealousy while others just curiousity, however regardless of how they felt, they all kept it to themselves.
Walking around the school, Zeke found himself quickly bored and decided to return back to the dorm.
He realised however they would run late if they made the trip back so they just sat on a bench nearby.
With boredom on her face, Nebula used her bracelet to begin playing games on the holographic screen.
Zeke however instead sent electric essence particles to communicate with his surroundings.
He was doing this the entire time to form a map of the entire site.
Now it was way easier for him to move around the place while blindfolded.
Beep, Beep!
Their time was up. For Nebula this would be simply another term, but for Zeke it was his first time actually attending a public school.
