Changing into the clean clothes didn't take him a second, but it still didn't dismiss the could in the end. With the loud sound if shifting gear echoing into the expanse of the world, the large gates opened, it felt as if the world was shaking as it opened. Then , a single figure appeared behind those doors along with buildings, enough to fit a million people without any problems. Night walked through the gates and the appearance of the unknown figure became clearer, he had grey blue hair and eyes, his hair was rough and unkept and his eyes had bags under them. He looked middle aged but vibrant with energy and with a strange feeling that crept into me when i looked at him.
The moment night took a step forward, a smirk appeared on his face, then the world slowly dissipated, night was alone in a strange misty world, a trap.
No, it felt more like a containment, sounds of something moving echoed in ear. Some how he knew and could feel the exact location of where it was like a range around him allowed him to know. Then, something shot at him, he dodged and without even a second to recover from the attack another attack was shot at him. He dodged this time, a small cut appeared on his face. The mist dissolved and everything was put back to normal, the strange man smiled and whispered
"Rose found another prodigy "
Night didn't say anything, he just pretended not to have heard it at all.
Another figure slowly walked towards him from behind, judging from her her appearance, she was just marked, He turned around and the moment their eye met, a strange feeling filled him to the very brink.
Silver purple hair, violet eyes and an energy beneath her eyes, something filled from anger and something he didn't know about. But beneath it, she was just another innocent person who got stuck in the chaos. He looked away, somehow, he wanted to stay away from her at all cost, his presence would only bring more chaos.
The strange man didn't do anything surprising like before but started speaking;
'I am master Jackson, welcome to the academy, it must have been hard to get here. I won't lie , the real hell as yet to begun, there are things you need to know and that's why your here. If you want to survive and ascend to a higher rank, but right now all i can say is May luck be with you'
Now follow me, master jackson walked further, and with him leaving , the large gates began to close, shaking the earth once more. Night and the girl were separated as each were led to different rooms with a single person inside waiting for them, as night entered, the door was closed and silence filled the room entirely .
First question, what is you name?
Without a thought he said, night.
There sign of anymore questions on that matter, so he had no reason for worry.
'Is there any info you gained on the hex or your trial that you might want to share'
Nothing at all, the goal of my trial made no sense so i found out nothing.
Night knew a bit that he could tell like the task, the blade and the stone itself, but chose not to, because these informations could cost him more than he had. They were the keys that could either put him in chains or make him a dog.
The strange examiner looked puzzled at first and then annoyed by my response before continuing again:
"What's you aspect rank"
Awakened
"What's your attribute"
I don't know
The questions kept going on and on, till she hit her hand on the table clearly tired of my refusal to speak.
Then the last question came:
"What's you scar"
I don't want to tell you, he said with an emotionless tone.
Then the questioning ended, he won and was handed a key card and a phone and some important info..
"You have to spend at least a year in the academy till you enter the scape, and since you chose to keep your abilities hidden you will be ranked unknown until the final evaluation. Any sign of violence will lead to expulsion and any unauthorized use of abilities will lead yo your death. It is nice to meet you seeker night"
And with a fake smile, he was escorted out of the office and towards one of the dorms. He was lead to a personal room, and as he reached the door, escort parted ways with him putting him at ease.
I passed the card through the sensor and pushed the door open.
The room was spacious that almost felt like it was built for function rather than comfort, there was a desk, bed, bathroom, toilet and closet.
It was really everything i needed right now, night walked up to the bed, and fell flat on it. It was soft and made him warm, then said
"Rune"
The runes lit up the dim room.
