Unlike normal summonings, the chronicle took the form of darkness. From just a sphere dark light appeared, till it covered him entirely, but still it didn't take form, remembering the description, he thought of the clothes he wore in his trial, but added a hood to it. The from the darkness, threads spurred out from it, moving bizarrely, till it covered him entirely
It was perfect, his hands were completely covered so he had no worries about someone finding out about his other aspect. The shroud turned into darkness as he walked towards the bathroom.

As warm water poured on his skin, a flash back that all that happened flashed through his eyes,he felt different, but still nothing could really replace the feeling of hollowness, even when his heart was forced open and filled with emotions, he didn't really understand them. That was why he could only think back on all that happened before. It was really pathetic.
He switched of the faucet, and walked out of the shower with a towel around his waist. Then got to a mirror and stopped, he faced it and wiped off the steam that fogged it.
What he saw was not his old silver hair and eyes, but rather an unfamiliar look. His former appearnce was changed to a light shade of black and white. And his eyes were grey with a tint of blue, with three very unnoticeable specks of light in each eye. But it was nothing compared to his body, his frail body was replaced with thick skin, he tried to scratch it with a blade but not even a scratch was made. Another quirk of being awakened.
He walked out of the bathroom and headed for the closet. Sets of uniforms and causal wear were already there, strangely enough, neither of them were to big nor small. It wasn't perfect but enough to make him look normal. He took a set and dressed up. Hi hair was longer now, they had grown past his ear and nearly reaching his eye in the front.
He tried to cut it with a scissors but instead, the steel broke in half, as a last resort, he just packed his hair and styled it the best he could. Out of nowhere, a knocked echoed into the room, the person simply said:
"Move to the main hall"
Night, forgot about his original plans and grabbed his phone and opened the door, the person was still there but clearly wasn't happy or sad to do it. It gave him the impression of how impossible it would be in his coming days.

After following his escort for a few minutes, he was finally led to a large grand hall with nearly a thousand people in it but still spacious enough to fit a thousand more generously, the escort disappeared with out a word and he was left to fend on his own once again. Doing the only thing that could keep him out of trouble, he walked to the farthest corner of the room, and sat on an empty bench, ignoring the eyes and sounds around him.
But nothing he did could lighten the weight. Not the pressure of pounding at his skull like a slow drum.
Even unseen, the presence of thousands pressed in.
He turned away, one step from slipping away entirely.
And then someone sat beside him, without realizing, he turned to face her. He was met by hazelnut hair and honey eyes, with a few small but the same height as him. She wore blue earrings which clearly didn't match her look , but looking at her made him at ease. Even though there was noice from all corner, the moment she said, "hi, it's nice to meet you",with a smile.
The world turned silent. Then she continued.
"My name is silver ,what's your name".
He tried his best to remain silent then turned away, instinctively he knew, nothing would come out of interacting with anyone. It would only make him weaker or put them in danger.
He didn't know how, but he was slowly dragged out of the room, she looked like she was smiling. And as we entered the corridors and reached an empty class.
She finally said something again.
"Stop ignoring me"
Night was shocked, but still said sorry with every bit of remorse he could muster.
Then as she dragged him to a seat, she continued and asked again.
"What's your name"
Not wanting to hurt her again, he said answered.
"Night"
That's a strange name, but it kinda suits you.
What do you mean, night stuttered with in shock.
Then night is the only time to see the stars, just like you.
Hearing her made him sad, he never thought if it that way, he felt some sort of happiness. Knowing that some one actually .....
Night stoped thinking as he felt a stare intensify and with no relation to the matter, she said
"Your different, i feel it when i look at you"
I... don't understand what you mean.
"Its nothing, let's spar"
I was even more shock, he refused.
She looked upset or maybe unsure why i refused and asked me why. The only answer i could think of was.
i don't know you.
You don't know me.
She simply left, and i was confused, why bring me here in the first place.

Randomly walking around, night made his way back to the hall, this time, it was unusually silent, then a voice echoed through the room, it was too loud to resemble a human's but still it was from one.His hair was black and so was his eyes, the only thing that made his looks extraordinary was his physic, it was something not even usually masters could get. Another master he guessed.
Then he started talking
"After the first seeker appeared, and more people were chosen, there was chaos. As a last resort, the government derived a method to control the chosen and awakened and ensure that the dangers seekers brought to this world were minimized. The academy is the result of that, i don't wish to scare you but you idiots are walking bombs, this place isn't a school but the only cage suitable for you all. My goal is to bind the chaos you could bring and also help you survive.
Seekers might be powerful, but we are still feared, your duty is to survive and not be controlled by either the hex or yourself. Right now this is all i can tell you, the rest is up to you, to either survive or be devoured.
The hex's voice rang in my ear and probably every one else in this place.
It said, [You have received a trait]
[Adaptation]
[Your growth is greatly enhanced]
Because, that is the only was to survive.
May luck be with you, and i hope you survive through the chaos".
The crowd erupted in shouts, most were happy while others calm and scared. Maybe they already realized. That, what. we heard wasn't to encourage us, but rather to chain us.
