No Show Blake?

I took the elevator to the ground floor, but when I arrived at the ground floor, I heard the sounds of hitting, and cries of pain, I looked towards where I the sound was coming from, it was two guys, being beaten by a blue haired guy and they were surrounded by more guys who were watching the show and cheering on the guy doing the beating.

From the little I had seen, I could guess, it was a bullying situation, and the other guys were the blue haired guy's lackeys. I looked at the two boys being beaten with pity, any more and they would have to visit the infirmmary. 'Wait now that I think about it, where is the infirmmary?' I thought.

I glanced at the group again, I wished to help the two unfortunate boys, but I firmly believed in a self-made quote of mine, 'Mind your business and don't interfere in other's businesses, that's how you don't end up in trouble'. I turned towards the glass doors of the dorm building, my destination, the mall.

The mall was situated at the back of the elite dorms building. The first time I saw it, was during my first jog the day after we came to the academy. It was positioned between two buildings, the restaurant, and the training rooms. I approached it's entrance and there were already numerous and cadets going in and out.

As soon as I entered, 'Okay try not to appear too shocked, lest people realize this is your first time in a mall' I chided myself and honestly my stoic face helped as I took in the appearance of the mall. This really was my first time in a mall and I was really impressed. Everything had its own section, whether it was food, clothes or even miscellaneous stuffs.

I headed down to the food section first, and bought a whole lot of stuffs, seasonings and spices, I would stock them in my fridge once i got back. Then I headed for the clothes section and picked no less than five casual wears, after I was done, I headed to the counter, I had no need for any miscellaneous items currently.

At the counter was a young man with a bright smile, literally, he smiles showcasing all his teeth. Looking at the young man, I thought about the second way to attain points, which was to either work as an assistant to an instructor, or work as an attendant in places like the mall or restaurant. But there's only so much vacancies. This guy must have acted the very next day we arrived here. 'Bastard, you sure act fast' I cursed inwardly looking at the still smiling young man.

"Oh I see someone is a big eater" he muttered glancing at the stuffs I had brought to the counter.

"That'll be a total of 150 points" he said with that annoying smile of his after totalling the price.

I paid the 150 points with a scan of my bracelet code, leaving me with a little below 500 points. After all from my initial 700 points, I had been ordering food from the restaurants since the past five days, it's only today that I didn't order.

Which also reminds me, I have to also find a way to be getting a steady stream of points, it's just my fifth day in the academy and I've already spent more than two hundred points. 'But anyway a job for the future me' I thought. 'My future self must be cursing my present self or is it his past self?' I mused

"Thank you, come again" he said as I started packing the stuffs.

I packed the stuffs into my storage space, and headed back to my dorm room. When I got back, I loaded every food stuff I had bought into the fridge in my unused kitchen except for some snacks which I reckon could come in handy.

After that, I sat down in meditation and continued the condensation of my seventh star. When I came out of meditation, it was around 12am. I was feeling hungry so I ate some of the snacks I had bought earlier today or was it now yesterday.

Anyway, I first set an alarm for 5am, before going to sleep. I had learnt from my mistake. The alarm did it's job and woke me up at the intended time. I crawled out of my extremely soft bed, freshened up and headed for my morning jog. After my jog, I came back to my dorm and took a bath and got ready for the day. It was just 7am, but I still decided to head to class anyway.

When I got to class, someone was already there, but I didn't make the same mistake I made the first time, I didn't look into her eyes or even at her for that matter. I quietly headed for my seat at the back. I stayed silent even as other cadets started to come in and soon the class was filled. Thankfully Owen didn't notice me as he was busy arguing with a red haired guy at the front.

At exactly 8am, a fat man with an enormous pot belly came into the class before walking towards the teachers stand. There was only one thought in my mind when I saw him, 'how was he able to move with that thing attached to him' his belly I mean.

"My name is Charles Ross" he paused. "But you can address me as instructor Ross and I'll be taking you history class" he said while facing the cadets.

"Now class before we start, who can tell me the names of the founders of the seven great families?" he asked. Multiple cadets raised their hands but..

"You" he pointed at the very last row, or me precisely. Was he blind or something? because I'm a hundred percent sure I did not raise my hand.

"Me!?" I asked just to be sure. "Yes you, hurry up don't waste our time" he chided.

Hearing that, I stood up and began "Magnus De Silva, Emily Greatwoods, Seraphina Crimson, Alexander Hargreaves, Lucas Ashbourne, Hade Darkheart and Iris Wellington".

"What's your name?"

"Adam Walker". "Fifty points for cadet Adam Walker" he spoke to his bracelet. Not even two seconds later a notification appeared on my smart bracelet showcasing that I had received fifty points. If before I wasn't glad that he called me, now I was.

"Today we're going to talk about the history of the seven great families, how they shaped today's society".

"When the emergence occured, the founders of the seven great families who were referred to as the big seven back then, they were merely children. They were all only about nine years old at that time, and they weren't even part of the first people who awakened at that time. "It was only a few years later that their bloodlines awakened" He paused to take a breath.

"They then each learned that their abilities weren't the same as others that they had seen, theirs seem more powerful, more in tuned with them, and more importantly more versatile".

He then went on to give the entirety of their history. After listening to his rant for the first two minutes, I realized he was just reading word for word their biography, I soon lost interest.

After the history class, We headed to the combat grounds for the class as it was the only class we had every week day, except for Fridays.

It was also surprisingly cheerful as the instructor didn't show up today. Only another instructor claiming to be his assistant showed up saying that the instructor has something to do. And to his much to his bafflement, most of the students were rejoicing at instructor Blake's absence. I was also a part of them.

Just like yesterday we were asked to spar with a partner. I was approached by Levi today again, strange because I thought he was avoiding me. And guess what, that attack I had managed yesterday was a fluke, today Levi managed to dodge it, though at the end none of us really won.

My lunch at the cafeteria today went undisturbed.

After lunch, we had Wildlife codex class. The purpose of the class was for cadets to learn about the currently known beasts and wild plants, from their names, behavior, habitat, and up to their abilities. The instructor was a nice amiable lady who looked like she was in her early twenties. She also sent the codex to each of our smart bracelets to memorize in our free time.

The moment the class was over, I decided to wait until everyone was gone to avoid Owen, but my luck just had to be that bad that he noticed me.

"Hey Adam, just the guy I was looking for" he said as he stood leaning in the hallways.

"What?" I asked irritation almost slipping into my voice.

"Nothing, just realized I didn't have your contacts, how can we call ourselves friends if we don't even have each other's code lines?" he asked.

'We're not friends you bastard, and you're going to get me a lot of unwanted attention' I cursed inwardly. But then, a thought came to my mind, 'If he'll keep pestering me, I might as well use him'.

"Fine" I said and then we exchanged codes. "I'll message you later bud" he said before walking away.
