Chapter 16

Morning came fast by a blink of an eye, sitting in a classroom with only twenty students with clearly different age gaps between us. The principal enters the room holding just one piece of board that has something written on it, I didn't expect him to be our opening teacher.

"Greetings to all of you and thank you for accepting my invitation for being a nominates of the rumored special class. My name is Willian Von Visseau, please call me Sir William, I've heard that there is a concerning rumor about the consequences of failing this class, which is highly false by the way, I don't even know where it came from. So, when I call your name say you are here." – announced Sir William as his eyes glistened with interest as soon as our eyes made eye contact in just a split second.

Freak, he knows something about me, and I don't like not knowing anything that concerns myself. It gives me the willies that I'm the prey and not the hunter, which is an unusual event, because as far I've remembered since I learned survival instinct and fighting skills. I was and is never a prey, I'm the hunter, so being the prey in the presence of Sir William is nerve-wracking.

"I'll start from the youngest to the oldest after I called your name and say `here`, the tablet in your table will light up as questions show up, answer it then behave." – continued Sir William, I glance down recognizing the old version of the iPad apple (iPad 2) in front of me. Wow, that takes me back to when I was showing off my new iPad to the others that already have one but an outdated iPad.

Just reminiscing it makes me wince at how proud and arrogant a brat I was back then, I even remember how it made me feel great knowing the other kids were so jealous of me and they throw a tantrum while I snicker behind their back. Oh wow, I was a big bully in the past, damn… didn't expect recollecting the past will a person comprehend things they didn't see or understand. I shook my head wanting to wake up and erase those embarrassing past moments and focus on the present, and like I'm just in time for my name to be called. `What perfect timing I have, hehe`.

The screen of the iPad is just lit with only personal questions in it, like name, age, birth, school level, and lastly dream occupation. After I filled up those three questions, I tap the dream occupation and it showed me these lists of things I barely don't care about.

"Juverly Obelisk" – I recognize that name, I wonder why? It's just in the tip of my tongue but can't put my finger on it, oh well, I'll remember it eventually… maybe, if it's important then I'll surely remember it when it hits me. Even her physical features are familiar in my eyes, Juverly's smooth and raven-like hair that reaches down through her slim waist, her silver-grey eyes that shine in the sun, and those fair skin that has still its baby muscles showing.

Why the hell I can't put my fingers on it? I can clearly feel the familiarity between the two of us, but I just can't reminisce and scourge through my memories, when there's trouble coming my way today.

I keep scrolling down the options until I saw the army section which many options, in my opinion, have too, they should've just focused on the recruitment and let the students choose later when they know and write down the basics through their muscles and brain. Well, that's only in my opinion, this section of the special class has produced numerous outstanding students so far, so it must be a success to let students choose early.

"Franz Castro" – Ah, I totally remember that name, he is a genius in being an engineer mechanics of physics and geometry, because of his revolutionary inventions it helped us build the perimeter wall that kept those Oblivions out of our lands. Plus, his blueprints that were saved in the world backup drive became the foundation of the Exist weapons. Unfortunately, he didn't survive the second wave of the attack, he was a huge casualty in our eyes, lots of scientists and inventors mourned his death.

Franz Castro: let's just say when he was still alive back in the previous timeline, he was one of the top five most sought out bachelors of all gender. Who wouldn't, his laid-back crow hair and his piercing black eyes seem like a person is staring through an endless abyss, and lastly he has the body that made any girls swoon and drool or maybe just ogle? I'm not sure, I have Denise and I got used to seeing those kinds of muscle bodies as I've been surrounded by grown cousin men of mine.

In other words, I build up an immunization against those kinds of men, except for Denise, I can't seem to get myself to stop my heart flutter whenever he wanted to tease me using his body before, but maybe in this timeline, I'll slowly become immune to it.

"Nathaniel Oraciona" – never heard that name before, it doesn't even sound familiar in my ears and his physical features are just not recognizable in my eyes. Dark brown hair and hazel doe eyes, and tanned skin tone, he has the looks of a future attractive man but that smug look in his expression makes me feel irritated for some reason that I don't know.

"Hey, Arie, what did you choose for the dream occupation?" – I heard Denise's voice whispers in my ears as his breathe touch the side of my neck that sent shivers through my back, argh why now… we're still children, erase those thoughts, Ariella.

"I'm not sure yet, but I think I'll follow my big brother in the military section. Our family has enough medical and engineering background, I wanted to try the pharmacist that plays with chemistry, but I'm too lazy to study those chemical reactions. So, the easiest way is to follow big brother. How about you, Den?" – I whisper back to not disturb the principal and the others.

"Are you sure, you're going to follow Kim? Did you already talk about this with your parents? Seeing how Kim is overprotective of you, I can't even imagine the reactions of your parents and the whole family when you told them about you joining the military, Arie." – Denise said with worry lacing his tone of voice, he totally ignores my attempt to change the subject on the last minute.

"You haven't answered my question when I answered your question earlier, that's just unfair, Den." – I tried once again to change the subject, keyword: tried.

"Don't even think about changing the topic, Arie, and I'm planning to enter the military section as I want to follow the path of my retired paternal grandfather. I know my parent won't like my decision, but they can't do anything to object to my choices of classes in this special class."

"I see… nevertheless, as you said, our parents can't override our decision at what courses we are going to take, so I might as well take the chances besides there's no rule that a student can't two different courses. It was never precedence before, there's always a first time for everything right?" – I grin confidently, knowing the interest of the principal with the four of us I will take advantage of that interest to get what I want and to get to know that Sir William of ours while hiding the fact I'm taking military section.

I'm so smart or what, with the principal's interest in the four of us and his lax personality plus his obsession with talented people who wanted to challenge themselves. It will be a piece of cake to make Sir William agree with me. Just imagining the resources I'll be getting and the authority level entry I'll receive soon leaves me giddy in my seat until I sense the lingering killing intent directed to me in three different directions.

If I wasn't used to fighting on the battlefield where these kinds of evil intent are denser that honed my sense in overdrive and honed it for years, I wouldn't have detected it. They're skilled I'll compliment them to their skills that even my guards didn't react to their arrival, it seems I need to train those guards of mine harder and harsher than before.

"Issa Karylle Caspellan"

Whoa, did I hear that right? Karylle is here, the Karylle that genius Karylle, who made medicine of curing Cancer before the apocalypse started. Issa Karylle Caspellan, is a person who lost her mother in the fight against cancer, brain cancer, they discovered it way too late, and it already spread to her organs. I heard, in the previous timeline that after Karylle's graduation her mother died in the middle of their celebration in the hospital.

It was really heartbreaking news, I could save her mother as I have the formula for making the anti-Cancer medicine, however, I've already angered the triple goddess of fates, if I save her mother then I don't think she can escape the wrath of fate. I could escape it un-harm if my two masters are here, however, in my current condition… yeah, I don't think I could save her mother. Changing the fate of a person's death is much more taboo than time-traveling especially what I'm changing is erasing the existence of irregular creatures.

I've already incurred the wrath of the other gods with my time-traveling that they punish me, thankfully, they were stupid enough to underestimate my willpower to only use level one seal in my memories which Essence is slowly it to avoid those idiot's radar. Those gods and goddesses are really joking, they think they could punish me for their own idiotic mistake with their `Oh godly powers`.

After Sir William finished taking our attendance, he implied to us to finish the questions in ten minutes and after that to stand up and form a single-file line at the door. Then he leads us to the big auditorium, it's huge with the big and wide stage at the front, the only thing missing is the chairs.
