Eighth chapter

Samantha and I spent a week training with Snaider. Until he had to return to his post, as he would have to handle the paperwork of the expeditions.

I ended up with a body full of wounds.

Even though I trained until midnight with the president I knew that my body would not adapt quickly to what I learned in training, the only thing I had to hold on to was my ability to react and I wanted to continue training for my part and I had gone to a remote area to train and arrived at the room, I was beginning to sleep next to my bed, suddenly someone opened the door, it was Alison.

-You look strange," she said.

She came over and put her hand on my forehead.

-Hey, Alison, you're too close.

-You have a fever, you're too hot, you want to die," she said.

I couldn't say no, so I did it.

All those wounds, how did you get them?

-I was practicing with Snaider.

-Seriously, he's not someone who can teach, he's pretty tough.

-Why do you say that, he's your brother, well there's a reason you're both the best students.

-We're not, we're both adopted. You see, when he entered his family, he trained in a dangerous way, almost torturing himself to get better, he was sick of being the best and leaving everyone behind. One day, after so much training, he tore his left arm.

- And how did he go to class?

-He did it seasonally, and since the school saw his progress, they didn't tell him anything. He stopped doing that when he saw that he was superior to everyone else and was almost a year ahead of his class, that was at the beginning of his senior year. I see that some wounds got infected, because you didn't go to the infirmary.

-I preferred not to go, because every day I got a new one and since they report everything here, they would have followed up on what had happened.

-You won't be able to leave yet.

-Okay," I answered.

I lay down on my bed and it began to heal.

-Alison, why did your brother become obsessed with being the best, I asked him as he did so.

-I wanted to be strong enough and smart enough to defeat this system.

- Was he going to join any groups? -I asked him.

-I asked him, "No, he wants to be a part of it, to oppose it all, in a political way, like his biological father was.

-I understand.

And I fell asleep.

After healing Luan, Alison went to talk to Snaider in the student council room.

The president was in his office looking at some papers.

And her brother arrived.

-Because you offered to train Luan, I thought you didn't like him.

-Let's say it's a way to thank him for risking his life, plus he needed to level up a little for the expedition, even though he's weaker than all the freshmen. I thought so, but look what he did to my shoulder.

- He did that to you?

-Yes, but it was partly my fault, I underestimated him and said something to provoke him, when he reacted he was already so close that I couldn't avoid being hurt, and the worst thing of all is that I did it to my arm that I broke years ago, as you brought him here you must be responsible, please cure me.

- What did you tell him?

-ah, Alison I don't have all day.

-If you don't tell me you'll stay like this until the expedition.

-With the death of his mother.

-As Luan's mother died.

-ok, what I know is that he was in a car with his mother, and they were in the middle of a dispute between the military and the hate-you group, and she died, while Lucas was left with sequels in the nerves of his spine, to be more clear, they received an attack in the back of the car, both were in the front, in the co-pilot and pilot seat.

-You can't play with someone's death.

.

Snaider, leaned back in the chair, waiting for Alison to deign to cure him.

-I just hope no one else knows that you can heal through your energy, it would be more paperwork to explain to the government.

-I'm not that reckless, the only ones who know are Luan and Liz, no one else.

-Liz?.... -that girl is much weirder than Luan.

-Why? -....

-She lived in the city that was destroyed, she was one of the few people who were saved. Interesting and even more so that you have so much confidence in them. Finally you like a girl and you stopped dreaming about women.

-I never had illusions, they imagined everything and....

-Alison, stop being so stupid. You're a good looking guy, obviously some girls like that, but what you did last year was crazy.

-Let's not talk about it anymore.

-At some point it will pass, and I hope that heartbreaking reputation doesn't affect you.

-You talk like you know everyone, but because you don't have a girlfriend...ah, if you're so interested in those subjects

-It's...a little hard to explain, better cure my arm.

Alison proceeded to heal him.

Luan's point of view.

With only one day left to the expedition, we first-year-olds were a little excited about our first group trip. We were all counting the hours, but they made an announcement.

Groups would be made between classes in this case the groups would be two a and b, class 1 and 2 would be a, and b would be 3, 4, 5.

This announcement was given by representative Saul, on behalf of the director.

This announcement was made by representative Saul on behalf of the director. We all felt like a bucket of cold water, since we still had some differences with those in that class, especially Alison.

Some of my class had an opinion and asked to change the group, but Saul told us that it was not impossible because the decision was to try to eliminate the friction that both classes had, without more we were forced to accept the decision, Alison spoke and asked if it was mandatory to go, the representative told her if it was an activity of the course and the only way to miss it was with a valid excuse.

It was to be expected that she would ask that after the party several things happened and she did not want to meet them.

After finishing that class, and after receiving the information we went to the cafeteria, with Liz and Samantha, while we were walking they started to look at us from other classes, apparently they already knew the news of the expedition and were attentive to what was happening.

We had to try to pretend that nothing was happening, so as not to attract any more attention.

For the first time, the four of us sat down at a table away from the others, and we started talking about what we would do on the expedition. It was strange for me, I only kept with Alison most of the time because she was my roommate. And from one moment to the next, Liz and Samantha were with us. We were a one-subject group, but we weren't together like we were now.

The girl with the red hair, Samantha, had a serious attitude, a little more than Alison, we had trained with Snaider and everything, but for a moment I felt that an attitude of rivalry with the rest of the people in the room, as if I was in a competition. As I thought about her. From one moment to the next, I took the floor in a calm tone

-Please don't do anything stupid while we were on that trip, and don't get carried away with the provocations of the freshmen.

Liz also gave her opinion

-Yes, especially Alison, take it easy, we're all partners.

In the middle of our dialogue, Alejandra appeared.

-Hi, classmates, I know that even though it's been weeks since that incident, many are still upset, but please, since we are all part of one institution, we should leave the differences behind and leave the school well.

-Alejandra, well in this situation the women in my group agree to file the laziness with you and maybe with changing the men's minds you won't have to worry before half of the year this will be solved," said Liz.

Alejandra smiled a little at my partner's positive response. Maybe that kindness between women made them help each other, and it must have been hard to be the representative of a room with so many men.

Since I saw that girl, I thought about talking to her the day she invited us to the party, but I think it would be stupid to talk to her. My condition made me less than everyone else, and the worst prospect among the other men. She would never look at someone like me. And I kept silent, I didn't have an opinion at any time, when she was there, I just listened to Liz.

After Alejandra left, we each took our own way, but I followed Samantha and wanted to talk to her some more.

-Eh....companion.

-Yes?

-I wanted to thank you for helping me in those moments when we were training with Snaider, I didn't think I could have survived that without you.

-Don't worry, it was fun, there's just something that has me confused. You get a lot of hits right.

-Eh...sometimes....

-Well, at various times he hit you pretty hard, I was a little worried. Do you feel good?

-Yes, it's nothing complicated.

-Well, goodbye.

Her somewhat conceited attitude underneath, with me, I felt she was a great companion, she was almost the same as Alison, she liked to be alone.
