Normal Student's Life A month
hadpassed and Bakvik was living a normal university life. He attended various classes and blended in like any other student but he was already becoming well-known to many of his peers. Today Professor Klars gathered the students in the selection hall to choose those with special powers.
The students who gathered included first- and second-year students as well as the senior class. This university was vast with ten different districts. Professor Klars was in District 10 Sector Three an area known for its low academic standards independent-minded students and persistent violence. Addressing the crowd Professor Klars said
"Today you must all show me your abilities."
Everyone looked at the professor who continued
"If you're not ready leave. Go be a normal student."
Konji Litwe and Nesvan also came to watch the selection. Konji stood with Litwe on an upper balcony a sly smile on his face. "I'm sure I'll get a new kid for my group
" he said. "Just look at the serious expressions on their faces."
Litwe looked at the students below.
"There are very few second-year girls"
she observed.
Konji then noticed a man and a woman standing close together. They looked like extraordinary students.
"Who are the boy and the white-haired girl?"
he asked his curiosity piqued. "Why are they sitting there?"
Litwe looked at the two and replied
"That's Asman and Sela members of the Outgoing Group."
With a playful and confident air Konji said "They're pretty impressive huh?"
He then said to himself
"I'll have to research these two."
The professor stood in front of the students and said
"Alright I'll call you one by one. You'll test your abilities on this sack robot. It'll take a lot of force to destroy it."
All the students were excited but some felt the pressure. Klars began calling out the names. "Starting with you Will." A young dark-haired
boy with a sluggish walk approached.
"Got it" he said in a low voice. He paused in front of the sack puppet and said something softly. Immediately everyone felt exhausted as if they were about to faint. Will then walked away muttering
"I need to practice controlling my power more."
Professor Klars used a dispelling spell. With a light clap of his hands a faint energy wave spread out at lightning speed quickly dissipating Will's power from the others. Everyone returned to normal.
"Pass!" Klars announced.
Konji looked at Will with a sly grin then turned to Litwe and said "Wow."
Nesvan who was standing on the opposite balcony looked at Will with pride.
Lonner's Power
Bakvik and Lonner were sitting below waiting for Professor Klars's selection. Bakvik turned to Lonner and said
"You never told me what your power was. We've been friends for a long time."
Lonner simply said "My turn."
Professor Klars then called the next student. "Lonner Rose."
Lonner walked to the arena a sword at his waist. Everyone stared at him intently. A group of delinquents sitting nearby teased him with insults.
"What's that nerd going to show us? " one said. Another scoffed
"I see his long golden hair. It reminds me of the wig I gave to a chick."
Lonner unsheathed his sword and gripped it firmly in his right hand.
"Alright then"
he said. A golden glow lit up his hand. The onlookers were stunned and felt the sheer power. One of the brats said
"What is that massive mana power?"
Konji from above said in surprise
"Is that a second-year kid?"
Then Lonner used his sword to slash at the sack puppet screaming with a frantic voice
"Haaah!" Lonner's power cut the puppet in half. Everyone was shocked by his abilities.
"I can't believe that guy!" a student yelled.
Lonner fell to the ground exhausted. Everyone was in a panic. Bakvik ran to the arena.
"Lonner!" he cried.
Klars shouted
"Call the paramedics!"
Paramedics arrived and retrieved the injured Lonner. He was seriously hurt and had to be taken to the university infirmary. Bakvik ran after them but Nesvan used magic to stop him. Bakvik couldn't move his leg.
"My leg!" Bakvik exclaimed.
Everyone was shocked by the incident. Nesvan stood on the second floor and warned him
"Running out during the selection process is a violation of university rules. Get back here."
Bakvik reluctantly sat down looking displeased. Later Lonner was taken to the emergency room. A third-year senior said "Quickly call Racquelna."
Another senior quickly agreed "Okay."
The Unspoken Wound
Racquelna rushed to the emergency room and found Lonner unconscious with a broken right arm.
"Mr. Lonner!"
she cried in a panic and immediately used her powers to heal him. She felt exhausted from overusing her magic but she thought
"I can't make mistakes. His fate his life depends on me."
She successfully healed Lonner but then fainted from exhaustion herself. The seniors were shocked to see her collapse.
"Racquelna!" they cried and they laid her on the bed next to him.
Back at the selection grounds Klars spoke to the students.
"Everyone don't panic. This is normal here. I told you if you weren't ready you should have left from the beginning."
He then said
"Okay I'll call the next person. Come out Bakvik."
Bakvik reluctantly walked out and stood in silence. Konji watched intently.
"It's time for me to see"
he said to himself.
As Bakvik stood before the sack puppet Nesvan suddenly fired a gun at him. Everyone was shocked. Bullets swarmed towards his body but a single bullet hit his shoulder injuring him severely. Klars was horrified by Nesvan's actions.
"What are you doing?! " he yelled.
Everyone was shocked by the situation including Asman and Sela. Konji shouted
"Are you planning to kill your junior?"
Litwe stared at Bakvik in shock muttering to herself "That's it!?"
She then whispered something into Konji's ear and Konji's eyes changed becoming intense and sharp.
Klars ordered
"Everyone bring him out immediately."
Then Nesvan shouted loudly
"Don't come any closer!" he said.
He turned to look at Bakvik with a sly smile. "As I expected you were able to dodge my attack!"
The rescue team came to help Bakvik but he shouted
"Don't come any closer!" The team backed away.
Bakvik said
"I never thought I'd see you again Nesvan."
Nesvan stood with his hands in his pockets smiling slyly.
"I never thought I'd see my little brother after five years"
he said.Litwe was stunned.
"Little brother?"
Klars was confused.
"What's going on? You're brothers!?"
Nesvan said
"You're trying to change your history to forget everything aren't you? If I hadn't shot you you would have just pretended not to notice."
"Little brother! You're going too far"
Konji said before jumping down and running to help Bakvik.
Bakvik shouted with a sharp glare
"Don't come any closer!"
Everyone was shocked by what he said but Konji backed away. Bakvik glared at Nesvan with a cold tense gaze.
"You!"
he said and everyone was shocked by his word choice. Nesvan simply said
"Rescue team take him and treat his wounds."
Bakvik was dragged away because he refused to leave. He fell asleep and dreamed of his past. He woke up to find Lonner and Racquelna lying beside his bed. Bakvik ran to Lonner forgetting his own wound.
"Lonner!" he cried. He looked at Lonner with concern.
"Lonner you'll be fine."
Racquelna woke up and saw Bakvik's wound "Mr. Bakvik!"
she cried. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at his bloodied shoulder.
"What's wrong with your shoulder?"
Bakvik turned and smiled slightly.
"It's a performance wound... It's nothing."
"No way!" Racquelna said. "I'll treat it for you..."
Racquelna treated Bakvik's wound but she was completely exhausted. Bakvik held her hand tightly and said
"Thank you..."
They all recuperated for several days.
Nesvan's Dream
Later that night Nesvan was in a mysterious place. The darkness was so overwhelming that only the ground beneath his feet was white while everything else was shrouded in blackness. "Where is this place?" he wondered.
Suddenly there was a sound behind him. Nesvan was startled and turned around. He saw a mysterious figure in the distance. "Who are you?" he demanded. There was no response. The mysteriousfigure stood motionless.
"Where is this place? I asked who you were!"
Nesvan shouted. Suddenly he felt as if he were going to die. "What the hell! What are you doing to me?"
A sharp pain shot through his chest and he fell to the ground
. "Aaaaahh!"
Afterward the surroundings went black. Nesvan cried out
"What the hell! I can't see anything!"
Then a mysterious man appeared from behind him. Nesvan could only see his back. He was wearing a brown suit shoes and clothing that looked like a detective's. Nesvan was startled. Suddenly the dark surroundings transformed into millions of images flashing by so fast he couldn't see them all. Nesvan was shocked and woke up from his dream shaken.
"What the hell is going on?"
