0745 - Youth Cafe

Over 500 kids between the ages of 7-9 sat in silence as they ate what they began to call, the black bars. These gelatinous bars had a shiny crusted surface and a rough texture, which scraped against their mouths.

"Urughugh." Some of the kids groaned as the disgusting gelatinous bars began to stick within their mouths. The taste progressively got worse, until one boy murmured "I can't wait to find the bitches who got me in trouble." sadly his voice was heard by a guard, who ran to report him.

The boy shuddered before glancing around the cafeteria, everybody was staring at him with hate-filled eyes.

That guard would get a bonus, but they get another week. He'd exaggerate about what the boy said, and all parties knew it. But Lisa wouldn't care, it was just an excuse to extend their punishment.

0920 Upper introduction to psionics - UPSI101 -TGA-A1111

A few hours had passed and Caesar walked into a room, which seemed to be a mix between a half-sized gymnasium and a university classroom. His eyes fell on the metal and wood teacher's desk built into the opposite side of the gym before turning to the rectangular desk that arcked around the room like stadium bleachers.

Above all of this was another observation room filled with young and eager scientists eyeing Caesar as if he were prey.

Caesar placed his datapad on the table before taking a seat within the middle of the empty classroom. '0500-7 morning workout. 0715-8, breakfast, 0815-905 Tarsonis history cla--fake history class. Naw, brainwashing class, 0935-1120 UPSi101, 1125-'1230 lunch, 1235-1510(3:10pm) Strategies & basic combat, 1520-1900 Next Gen...NGS. 1905-2020 dinner. 2030-2200 Strategies & basic combat 2...fuck it from now, on your SBC101. 2210-2300 final break.'

Thought Caesar, closing his schedule. He glanced towards 15 children marching in with their arms raised high. Leading them was the white-haired, brown-skinned Rishul Mehta.

When he turned to salute the scientist the rest quickly followed before taking the seats ahead of Caesar. The scientists turned to Caesar expecting the same salute, however, he buried his head in his datapad ignoring them till class started.

A few minutes passed and 75 students were quietly waiting for their teacher to arrive. A few of the students had looked to the scientists with absolute disdain while most buried their heads in fear, their fears permeating the room. Pleasing the scientists who were eager to record new data.

The kids rose their heads as a young Asian woman limped into the room with a rusted metal cane in hand. The lights dimmed highlighting her dyed blood-red hair and its neatly tied bun along with the freshly done fade around her head. Her eyes glowed with eerie golden-yellow. Which caused even Rishul's crew to shiver.

The kids looked upon her abdomen to notice part of a Japanese koi fish swimming up to her chest and twisting into her back. They looked above the neatly tied black wraps, which covered parts of her chest to stare upon a bright flame.

Which ran across her collar bone and into her shoulders, the teacher placed her cane against the wooden desk. Before hanging her long royal red trench coat upon the desk's char.

Caesar stared intently upon the flames that burned across her collarbone and shoulders within them were inflamed lotus flowers that ran down her arms into the Koi fishes waterfall.

The teacher grabbed her cane and limped in front of the class for all to see loose navy blue wraps around her legs.

The kids leaned in, looking upon the Koi fish, which blood profusely into the waterfall. "Hello, kids. My name is preceptor Suki, and I am your new psionics teacher." [Insert pic of Suki]

Her Asian accent was like a sweet calming wave pulling the class in. But when these frightened kids looked closely at her eerie yellow eyes, slightly freckled face, and blood-red hair, they shuddered in fear. Before attempting to flee!

"Sit," Said Suki. Her voice never changed, the room's built-in security stayed deactivated. And yet, the kids stopped out of complete terror. They glanced back at Suki limping back to her desk without a care in the world.

As those frightened kids scuttled back, the smarter ones stared intently at her back then at the scientist above.

'The Koi fish. It died before hitting the top, and the scientists are even more terrified.' Thought Caesar. Burning this display of power to memory.

1235-Strategies & basic combat - SBC101

136 kids took their seats within a large underground fighting arena. They stared upon its electric fencing with dread before glancing up at the scientist observing it all from the observation deck above their seats. This time, Tom, the old doctor, her assistance, and two unknown men were in attendance.

Caesar was seated a few seats down from Kai, who also made sure to keep some distance between him and Samir. To Caesar's right was the Latin/Asian girl whose name he had yet to bother with, she had spent the time studying his physiology while he peered into her mind to evaluate her intelligence.

'She's kind of smart but lacks basic sense. The girl should know she's broadcasting her thoughts to me.' Caesar thought caused the girl's eyes to widen in shock. 'I know you heard that, and no. I don't care if you did.'

The girl blinked profusely before glancing at her surroundings. She spotted Kai and Samir staring as if they spotted a brand new toy. 'Meanies' thought the girl, reading the three boy's minds.

"ATTENTION RECRUITS, I AM! ASSISTANT PRECEPTOR KALEN!!" The man's loud and boisterous voice pulled everyone's attention.

Beside this long-haired mid-twenty white-skinned, all-black, punk-rocker were two tearful little girls and four freshly born newborn kittens. The first was a blond-haired girl dressed in fabric most Confederate kids had never seen...Silk!

The second was a short gray-haired girl crying for her daddy over and over. The girl had bruises going down her left arm, and a deep thick handprint in the center of her face, to go along with two swollen black cheeks.

"DAD--!"

*WHAP!* Kalen's palm connected straight on with the girl's face placing her in a daze. "Listen up brats, combat lesson 1. Kill. Today you'll all be killing kittens. Now, recruit Popovich and recruit Holt. Kill the kittens, or everybody gets punished!" Finished Kallen.

His statement caused Rishul and a number of the recruits to stare down upon the girls with enraged eyes. The girls stepped back in terror, causing Rishul to stay "You'll see us every day, so choose wisely."

His voice was calm, his eyes were cold...Every recruit's eyes were cold. They watched on as girls gripped the kittens by the neck then began to squeeze the life out of their eyes.

A few minutes had passed and the girls became a slobbering mess. Yet the kittens were dead, However, Kalen was displeased. "Too slow. You all have two extra weeks of nutrient bars. And as for you Popovich, Fuck off to the exit. Your doctor is waiting."

"Hey, Observer eggheads, randomize and display the order...Oooh, Caesar...Octavian Caesar Augustus. I've got something special for you. Bring guards 0017,7913, and5901 into the area."

Everyone watched as the area's cage slid open so Caesar could enter. Their eyes stayed trained on his head, while one thought began to reverberate around most of the recruits. 'We dare you to fail.'

Kalen handed guard5901's pistol to Caesar, before pulling two bullets out of his pocket.

'Explosive smart rounds.' Thought Caesar, taking the blue-tipped bullets and gun within his hands.

"Hey, uh boss. What's this about?" asked guard5901, he and guard7913 inched closer to Caesar. He was unloading the rubber bullets from his gun. Before slowly replacing them with the two explosive rounds, while locking eyes with the guards.

"You see, over the past few months I've been investigating the deaths of 25 people. Brutal shit, missing limbs, exploding heads, disintegrated bodies. However, a few days back we found two dead recycling plant guards who were covered in this boy's rich psionic energy. "

"Soo?" Said guard7913 coming to a stop when Caesar finished loading the gun.

"So, Harold. A few days back, I stumbled on the boy, who was in an accident, which crippled his power but killed over 400 people." Kalen smiled looking into Caesar.

"That boy...Hates when people call him Octavian, is that right Octavian! By the way, you four will be fighting for your life--"

*BANG!*

The first bullet penetrated guard7913's thigh, detonating instantly. The explosion tore both his legs clean off and sent guard5901 skidding to the ground.

*BANG!* The next bullet hit Guard0017 square in the chest plate, sending him right into the arena's electric fencing.

The recruits lurched back but watched on for fear of a more...serious punishment. Caesar walked towards guard7913 who was concussed from the last explosion. The man raised his eyes to the site of Caesar's pistol coming down on his skull.

*Crack!* The first hit cut his head open. *Crack! Crack!* The third caved in a part of his skull. The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh…Everybody shuddered, watching this beating, but nobody turned their eyes. They couldn't, they literally couldn't and they didn't know why.

Kallen watched the beating hoping to sense the slightest use of his psionic energy. But it never came, making him look stupid in front of all his peers.

'This ain't over Octavian. You're getting the royal treatment.'

Caesar: '... … ...'

AN note: if you are still wondering about the Latin/Asian girl, she's Victoria.
