2 Chapter 2: Looks can be deceiving

Derrick was all set and prepared for Lifeguard academy. The uniforms were sent to them as soon as they registered to get into the academy. Although they had to pass an entrance test before getting into the academy and even if one failed they were allowed to be an outer circle student reasons being the lack of talented lifeguards. Those who passed were granted entry into the inner circle.

Before he left he took a deep glance at the view available through the glass wall. Through the clouds from the top ,It was a bizarre yet beautiful lively view, it was the capital city "Elysian" filled with hovering shuttles with banners, blocky structures, holographs ,advertising billboards etc. it was all human inventions . In the heart of the city was the dark crystallised cube of mysteries, that constantly emitted a feint bluish glow before it grew dull, it was similar to a firefly light effect but only the light was dimmer and dull. The odd cube like structure which stood out of all other creation was the Headquarters of Lifeguard technology and research, the pride of humanity and almost all the races. Just below the HQ was the Lifeguard academy, it formed a boundary around the cube which was where Derrick was headed to. Taking a deep breath he left, he was strangely exited.

Derrick came down through the elevator, and was at the entrance of the company building. He saw Tristy waiting in a domestic shuttle, it was the latest model which could utilise both inferior "Life" and alternate energy as its fuel. As a man besides girls, Derrick still had a love for technology, mostly weapons and shuttles.He stood there staring at it for a moment before being interrupted by an annoyed Tristy.

"Get in, you can admire it later..." she briefly paused "....that is if you can own one for yourself" she continued with a mocking smile.

Derrick turned his attention to Tristy, she looked young, gorgeous and classy. She was wearing a black-pencil skirt matched, with a tight white collared shirt which was neatly tucked into the skirt. The skirt bound her wide hips revealing her curves while the shirt could barely contain her round bosoms slightly revealing her cleavage. Her black hair was neatly combed into a high bun, she was exuding the typical sexy office women vibe. She seemed like the perfect ideal human but the two horns identified her as a dragon-kin. Any stranger would have mistaken her for a women in her late 20s, but she was already an old hag of about 200 years age. And yes, she was Derricks mother's older sister.Although Derrick had a vulgar mind he still had his morals intact and he new she was already an old hag.

Derrick got in choosing the passenger seat in the front and curiously asked," Aren't you busy, don't you have work here. If you are that busy i would have gone by myself on the train" he clearly knew her aunt was a busy women.

"You damn midget, who are you worrying at-least appreciate my presence for once. Accompanying you on your first day was the least I could do" Tristy retorted with a frown before zooming the shuttle toward the general direction of the academy.

Derrick felt a little bit happy hearing this reply as he sat quite after the brief exchange. It was rare for any close relatives to look after him since his childhood after his parents had left him. All his close relatives neither hated him nor loved him but the only one who made an effort to take care of him was his aunt Tristy. As he grew up he felt that his aunt also neglected him, he was almost 16 now and he realised that Tristy was a busy women. But still his happiness now was overwhelmed by his disappointment. He wasn't effected by loneliness or sadness he had already built the perfect escape of an obsession. He wanted to go by bullet train. Trains meant joy to him he wasn't able to get on a train today because her aunt came.

The bullet train was the cheapest but also fast transporting system, every citizen loved it even though the trains were cramped and filled to the brim.The booties and the bust , the daily doze of sniffs and accidental gropes he would have managed today lingered in his mind with obvious regret surfacing on his expression. As his regret could continue any further the shuttle suddenly halted at the gate of the Lifeguard academy. The infrastructure was magnificent and awe inspiring .

Seeing this Derrick hopped off the shuttle ignoring Tristy who was yelling at him,"Don't fool around, do your best".

Without even replying he was staring at the gate of the academy, it was huge and luxurious, a little bit beyond one could see the bizarre glowing crystal cube. Derrick had to agree it was admirable and awe-inspiring but to him what was more admirable at the moment was the various flowers with melons,oranges, grapes ahem washboard etc. every kind was equipped to boot on these delicate flowers. They entrance was crowded, but he was drooling,realising this before any one could witness his expression he put on his noble facade and slipped into the crowed with evil intentions of course. He had reached heaven,but he did not plan to go all out to a point people might notice and label him a pervert before even getting into the academy.

He took a deep breath amongst the bunch of flowers, heavenly smells penetrated his nose. He was in a crowd, the part filled with females as majority. He began feeling up the bouncy butts one by one slowly with his skilled ghost hands, honed from constant use of needles to sew hand made lingerie. He speeded up his exploits vanishing and reappearing at various places in seconds.His hands were blurry showing its unimaginable speed before anyone could bare witness he had already retracted his ghostly fingers.

"Kyaak" "ehhyaaa" "pervert " screams of surprise and embarrassment could be heard all over the crowd.

Almost all the flowers were peach red. The girls were fuming wanting to find the culprit but felt helpless.

Derrick and his evil intensions went by unnoticed. He was trembling with excitement and pleasure, he had already suppressed his Johnson who was about to react inhumanely.

Klank.... As the crowd grew noisy because of the recent commotion, the gates were moved open slowly revealing the test platform. It was surprising to see the test area revealed as soon as the gate opened, the stage was a raised platform containing a huge circular area and a little bit at its front inside the academy were rows of cabins.

The entrants began going up the stage, before stopping on the circular area. The entrants had calmed down curious to what would happen next staring at the pitch black fog concealing the academy.From inside the academy came out of a silhouette draped in dark robe. He revealed an eerie smile at the same time removing his fedora before performing a majestic bow.

"I am Admund, the gatekeeper of the academy. I welcome you to LIFEGUARD ACADEMY" he greeted the entrants as he raised his head.

"Now, the entrance begins".
