3 Aftermath

In a futuristic room on the top of a tall tower sat a table surrounded by people seriously discussing what they are going to do about Aaron. Suddenly a young boy around Aaron's age walks in and everyone goes silent.

"I have come up with a solution." The boy confidently says, and everyone moves to the sides of the room in anticipation.

"We will create a new school class, one above the ace class..." the boy explained, "...this class will be taught by none other then Null himself." Everyone gasped in shock. The boy paused then continued

"We will take 13 of the strongest students from around the world and put them In a class with me and Aaron. This way we can keep the boy in check as well as turn him into a valuable weapon." The boy raised his voice to a yelling and commanding tone. "This plan is to be implemented within this week. DISMISSED!"

As I opened my eyes I realized I passed out during the test and started panicking. Not only did I lose to Daimon but I humiliated my self by passing out during the test, Aaron thought, feeling dejected.

When he noticed he wasn't anywhere familiar and his clothes were different. Aaron's thoughts were thrown into disarray having no idea what to think. After a few seconds a women walked in, formally dressed in a robe with a giant staff in her right hand.

"Come with me." she said in a commanding tone. "You might wanna prepare yourself, they are about to interrogate you which isn't as gentle as it may seem." She whispered in his ear as she walked past him, guiding him to a completely white room.

Investigators POV

This was the start of his torture, an empty white room where he would randomly be given a gallon of water every day, but it was kept random as not to have a way for Aaron to keep track of time. They say people go insane after merely three days of isolation. But Aaron was forced to stay in this room for three months. Despite the environment, made to send him into madness, there was no change in the way he acted.

After this they were supposed to take him to an interrogation room but seeing there full proof method fail made them realize there was no way to break this kid. Their flawless torture method had failed and they had no choice but to let the kid go as they no evidence of malicious intent.

Aaron's POV

As I was walking down a very long, curved hallway I couldn't help but admire my surroundings. After awhile of walking we came to a white door. Inside this door was just a blank room even lacking a bed, but there was a light at the top of the room making the room annoyingly bright. I was given I slight push from behind and the door shut leaving me in this blank room.

Despite the blank scenery it reminded me of my time in the forest when I would just sit there and feel my surroundings using my energy as my father taught me. But here there wasn't any direct element so I decided I would meditate and see what I can feel. my father told me this is how we get closer with our element but I never understood that as I could feel everything, maybe someday I can understand.

When I sat down in the middle of the room to meditate my confusion got replaced with curiosity as there was something I could feel that was new. It was like a gentle ever flowing river. It took me what I though was weeks but I finally figured out what this feeling is. It was time, never changing, and always moving forward when I stopped focusing on just that feeling and started to focus on my surroundings there was something else that was there, it wasn't new but I have never focused on it nor knew what it was. It was ever expanding and contracting. My heart beat slowly began to beat to the expansion and contraction, just as I was getting closer to this feeling the door flew open as someone said that I was free to go.

"Not yet!" I exclaimed!

"First I demand to know why I am here. And second why the hell were you guys trying to torture me. Lastly what happened after I passed out."

These questions were never answered, but what could Aaron do, he was powerless. They escorted him to the ground just outside the tower and he saw that there was a massive school building in front of him. Just as he was about to ask where he was, the women who took him to the torture room came up and told him, "From now on this will be your home.

I have a few questions before we move you to the empirical class."

"The what?" Aaron interjected.

The women looked annoyed but then continued talking. "The empirical class is a class made of the most elite from around the world including the son of Null himself. This class will be taught by the top ten strongest fighters in the world. This is the home of the empirical class." She continued, "Your strength at the test was immeasurable and beyond anything we have ever seen of even our strongest fighters. So to start off this interview. Is it true you were unconscious during the test?" 

Aaron had to take a few minutes before answering that question when he calmly spoke "Yes, I was unconscious."

She quickly took note and moved on to the next question, "Have you ever had your abilities awaken prior to the ceremony at school?"

"No, I have not" Aaron answered calmly, almost emotionlessly.

She made a quick note and continues "Alright last question and we will get you settled down in your room. Do you want your family moved down here as well or is there an alternative you would prefer?"

Aaron's calm manner broke at this question as he almost in a pained manner replied "I... don't have a family, but I do have a request."

"What might that request be." She asked with no change of express

"I may not have family but I have two close friends, they are very talented one is duel elements and the other has a perfect affinity with her element. I would like them to be placed in the empirical class." Aaron said with a serious look.

"This request is simple as they are already waiting for you in the empirical class. I wish you luck, and someone will be with you in a moment to take you to your room."
