Ch 5:-Academy Tour By Del

After Rayne, Layla was called as she took the test she was given the place of level 2.

The next person to take the test was Erin. She walked forward confidently without even looking at anyone else. She stood in the centre of the testing field waiting for the test to start.

Then, 5 random targets appeared across the wasteland. Immediately she formed an ice spear and chucked it at the target hitting it dead on. She did this one after the other at an incredible speed, nearly clearing them all just as fast as Layla did.

The next test Erin was even more impressive. She started to gather ice in both her palms and then after a minute or so of gathering her power, a huge ice column was shot from her hands and hit the centre of the drum dead on. The drum rang out louder than it had before and the number kept going up until it had eventually reached 50.

"No wonder she's so confident, "Vorden said.

Rayne thought that it was good that she didn't fought with Vorden or else he would have been a dead man.

Finally, when the last test had arrived the instructor told her she wasn't allowed to use her ability and should just dodge. Erin had no reaction and started the test immediately. She managed to do well moving swiftly avoiding each spike but eventually, the machine had gotten too fast and she ended up getting hit.

"Impressive!" Jane said, "best result so far, power level 5."

Erin continued to walk back to her group as if she knew what she was going to get all along, either that or she didn't really care about the whole thing.

Finally, the last person to take the test in the group was Vorden.

"Time to show you what I got, wish me luck."

Quinn and Rayne had no clue who Vorden was talking to, but Quinn quickly realized it was him after Vorden gave a wink in his direction as he walked off to the center of the field.

"Could that idiot actually be strong?" Quinn thought.

Most of the time people who strong were either arrogant about their powers or kept it quiet but Vorden was a strange person. He wasn't exactly arrogant but more flashy.

When it finally came to his turn and the test had started, everyone's mouth was left wide open at what they were seeing. On every single one of the tests, Vorden had done the exact same thing as Erin.

He had used the same ability, the ability of Ice, and had performed just as well.

"See, I told you I was strong!" Vorden said as he showed the number 5 to his new best friend Quinn.

Just what was Vorden ability Quinn thought.

"Hey, Vorden is your ability..." Quinn whispered, "are you able to copy other people's abilities?"

At first Rayne was shocked at hearing Quinn statement but now Rayne was accepting the absurdity of things.

Vorden looked at Quinn and smiled.

"I'm surprised you figured it out so fast, how did you know?"

"When you shook my hand, you were surprised when nothing happened."

Vorden thought Quinn was quite amazing to be able to guess something like that just form a handshake. After all, it was much more likely that Vorden had obtained the Ice ability from an ability book. The power for copying wasn't available as an ability book which meant one thing.

"Are you an Original?" Quinn asked.

Vorden didn't say anything but simply gave a wink back at Quinn, which pretty much confirmed Quinn's thoughts.

Vorden was an Original, a person from a family who decided to not share their abilities with the outside world. Someone who was usually able to surpass the power level of 8.

Once the test had been completed, the hooded man teleported the students to the front of the academy where they would be staying. The academy was huge and the tallest building in the entire city. It was as if someone had put together three hotels.

There was a total of ten different teachers that were currently standing in front of the academy. In front of them were groups of students who had all finished taking the test. The students were told to wait with the teachers until all the students had finished conducting their tests.

Once in a while, a group of six students would be teleported in front of one of the teachers. Finally, where Quinn was standing, there now was a total of 21 students. Like that only in other teachers their were different number of student.

"Okay, you all need to follow me as I take you around the school." The teacher up front said.

The teacher was a middle-aged man with blonde curly hair and wore Glasses, his name was Del.

While Del walked around describing the various places of the academy he couldn't help but smile. It looked like nothing was able to upset him.

"You guys should start to get to know each other a much as you can," Del said. "After all, the people you are with now will be your classmates."

Suddenly everyone started to get chattier with each other as they were being shown around the school but there was something Quinn had noticed. The mid-levels were trying their best to get friendly with the higher levels, while the low levels were being completely ignored. While Rayne couldn't much understand what the chattering was all about as he was a introvert so he was just sticking with Quinn.

Rayne and Quinn and Peter were the only three level 1's in the class. Without realizing it, they had been pushed to the back of the class, and Peter was plodding along with his head held down. It seemed to have affected Peter a lot more than Quinn but Quinn had already suspected this would happen.

Suddenly though, a familiar voice was heard calling out Quinn's name.

"There you are!" Vorden said, "Man people just started jumping all over me, then all of sudden I look to my right and you're gone. Come on let's look around together friend."

Quinn truly thought Vorden was a strange person but that wasn't a bad thing. Vorden then noticed Peter was on his own as well.

"Come on, you come over too, stop being a downer."

Peter looked up and pointed a finger at himself.

"Who else do you think I'm talking to," Vorden said.

The four of them continued to hang at the back of the class while the teacher continued to tour around the school. They were shown a battle arena, where they had similar testing equipment to the filed on the wasteland, as well as several square fighting platforms.

They were also shown their homeroom classes, battle classes, sports rooms, and all sorts. Del would explain a little bit about each area of the school they visited but Quinn was uninterested in most of it but Rayne was the most interested one and they had finally reached the library it has peaked his interest even more.

"The library here is split into three floors as you can see. First-year students are only able to access the first floor, second-year students can also go on the second floor, and finally, the last floor is only for Military personal."

Quinn was interested in the library because it contained books that weren't available to the public. Here, Quinn just might find some information about his ability, he just hoped it would be on the first floor.

Finally, the tour was coming to an end as Del stopped just outside the school's dorms.

"And this is where you will be staying during your stay here, once you have dropped off your things, feel free to explore around the academy. There will be no lessons today so you will get to have the rest of the afternoon to explore."

Each student was then handed a number on a piece of paper one be one which displayed which room they would be staying in.

Rayne saw his room number on the paper and it was 59 so he quietly followed numerically until he reached his room after opening it he only saw one bed and a vast amount of space.

At that time some female student were crossing by him and saw the room number Rayne was standing in front of and started to gossip "Hey isn't it the rumored room of death and unluckiness."

The second Girl replied "Yeah i also heard rumour about how who ever lived in this room died a gruesome death."

Rayne hearing about it was quite scared even though he didn't believe in any of this thing but after coming to this world he had seen quite impossible thing so now he was a little worried about himself.

---------------------------------------------------

Quinn then noticed form the corner of his eye Vorden coming towards him.

"Hey, Quinn what room number you got?" Vorden asked.

"Err 23."

"No way you're kidding right, I got the same number, maybe its fate bringing us together," Vorden said excitedly.

"Maybe," Quinn replied.

Meanwhile, somewhere down the hallway, two other students were having a conversation.

"Whoa what happened to you?" A student said looking at his friend.

"I don't know man some guy just came and hit me out of nowhere and swapped room numbers."

"Man, should we try to get it back?" the student asked.

"Nah if I saw his wrist correctly, it said he was a level 5 it's best if we just leave it"
