Arc 3: Chapter 6: Training Begins

I chose to live in my newly bought house in Rhesus.

Chirp Chirp

The Birds chirped.

As I looked through the mirror I glanced at my hair.

I remembered that the bluish hair follicles started appearing ever since I awakened my powers.

I have come a long way now since then. Now I get to live all by myself.

As I ate my breakfast and walked my way out to the academy.

I looked at the skyscrapers and felt a sense of awe.

The amount of area this academy covered in the capital was fascinating.

And then I reached the academy.

As I entered through the gate I looked at the numerous blocks.

"Block 3-A"

"Ah there it is", I said in relief.

[You all need to head to Class 1-A where the security cameras are absent]

That's what Mr. Wilson said so where is it.

As I examined the block I found it at one corner.

[You have to head into the library which is for staff only]

[And you have to say..]

As I looked at the librarian quite opposite to the entrance of library.

"Um, Excuse me I need a Book called Code: Zero", I asked.

With that said he looked with his small eyes and pointed his finger and said," Row 5 and shelf no.4".

With that indication I went near to row 5.

"Shelf 4", I said as I examined the numbers written on top of the shelves.

The shelf was to the extreme end of the library and then I looked at how the shelf was attached to a wide wall.

"Ah, there it is", and then I started searching for the book.

"Huh? What's this?", I said as I pulled the book it felt like a lever.

Thud!!

The shelf separated into two halves leading to an automatic door of an elevator.

I went inside and clicked on the one floor option other than the present available in front of me.

(Peaceful music coming from elevator)

(Ting*)

(B-1)

Shud, as I felt the cold breeze fill up the room.

There were many clerks moving through the main hall as the corners were filled with high tech computers.

"What are you slacking of for", said Mr. Leonard as he giggled.

"So this is the young man you are so interested in", said a woman in her late 30s with a slim but yet muscular tan body.

Her white hair matched that of Mr. Leonard.

"Kid, this is Ms. Lyra Wail"

"She is the future director of this academy"

"And of all she is unmarried!", Mr. Leonard exclaimed.

" Look whose saying when they declined my proposal", Ms. Lyra said in a mocking way.

"Yeah I was full of myself in my prime time you know", Mr. Leonard stated.

"Anyways kid I think you should head to main hall instead of standing here", Mr. Leonard said.

{NARRATOR'S VIEWPOINT}

"As we had discussed before you all will first be evaluated based on your raw skills"

Jiren Leonard said while looking at the 9 students in front of him.

"First up"

"One to one combat", he said as the students were directed to the training facility in the underground basement.

"Edan Selviar and Mai Silvia you both will be fighting in this round", Mr. Wilson said.

"Remember that using your powers is absolutely forbidden"

As they looked into each other while wearing a black battle suit on.

"This is only hand to hand combat", and then he went back a little.

"Either if the opponent is unable to fight back or is out of field, the other wins"

"Take your positions"

Phew..

As they both took their stance.

"Start"

With that Edan advanced as he swung his leg forward.

She nullified his momentum and budged Edan back.

Swoosh

As they dealt combo attacks on each other while maneuvering themselves with each other's momentum.

Their movements were like flowing water.

Edan kept on sliding past her attacks and cornered her to the edge of the field.

With that he flung himself into the air as he tried to kick her out of the field but by then she blocked his attack with her one arm.

As she provoked him to use his arm mid-air but by then it was too late.

She dealt a upper cut right onto Edan's stomach as he felt pain spring inside while he was flying in the air.

He regained his consciousness in an instant as he perfectly land back in one piece.

"Mai Silvia wins", Mr. Wilson declared.

Edan looked down as he realized that he was out of the field.

He realized the stupid move he made as from the start the winner was declared.

He reached out to her and shook his hand against hers.

"It was your game from the start", Edan said.

"You know, I was surprised to see you lose even though you had greater strength than me", she replied.

"Oh, you're being generous", Edan said.

"You may understand as we go into further tests, that what you lack is technique not strength", Mai Silvia declared.

{You got heart kid but you lack technique}, Jiren Leonard said to Edan at the time of final test.

Until then the person who felt fault in his power realized the essence of his mind control.

He had to become smart if not stronger than the enemy.
