First Day

Another alarm.An annoyance really. Even more so of an annoyance when you can't smash it as smashing it is the same as smashing your head in. Except for me of course, with my new upgrades, I could. Don't know if that's a good thing or not tho. Knowing me I'll be getting into a lot of trouble. Think I'll leave the alarm settings be...for now.

The first class of the day is..well, it is geography...?.There is no such thing as geography in the extract. The extract is almost just as you design it to be. Not Earth tho...that place is wild. But I guess knowing the terrain is important.

I walk along toward the class on an empty path through the gardens. Why don't I see anyone? I am sure it's gonna be class time soon...

The map on my integ mod guides my legs almost like am in a video game to where the exclamation mark is. I see my destination and enter class 1A. the 1A was spray painted on the wall and door by some delinquents it seemed. But it does not look bad so I think they might have been excused.

I enter to see the teacher sitting on the chair and a tight grip of anxiety, stress, and fear grips me.

Late on the first day, I think to myself.

"wow...exactly on time...count yourself lucky..now get in and take a seat.".The Teacher ordered and I just followed that command and picked a random empty seat. Barely 40 to 50 students were there in our class although I thought it would be much bigger. I took a look around while the teacher prepared some stuff.

I caught Lexny who was sitting on the 2nd front row. She was gesturing to me. It said something along the lines of 'Why? wtf?I was worried! etc--'... I turned my attention to the teacher.

There will be a chance to socialize later. But then...I could smell a rather familiar smell. it was not it but similar. I turn my face right and "Sup, I Rudolf" and he put his hand forward.

I have been made to think of myself as a rather selfish sort of person... normally and my thoughts but seldom betray that personality trait.

For when Rudolf offered me the handshake the first train that ran the rails goes "Well, I can't use the ashr's money on bitches...I can use this guy tho.

"haha, Deos. it's nice to meet ya"

I reply as I shake his hand.

One thing I remember about handshakes however Pro amazing Ninja tip #1 shake hands more tightly to assert dominance. And am going to need it if I wanna use his money and so I shook hands accordingly. But..damn why is HIS grip so tight?

[Rodolph's thoughts at the time:]

Whoa man, what with this guy's grip...Oh, I see...

{Both of their thoughts at the time}

(It's a war for dominance. That bastard is trying to establish his superiority over me and I can't let that happen.)

Every time one pressed harder the other followed. There was no speaking. Just a lot of shaking.

This little exchange however was shortly interrupted by another who sat behind us. A blond gay-looking dude.

"Ah, guys look how pretty I am."

That guy turned both of our stomachs the wrong way.

"Dude, you gay?" asked Rudolf.

"Don't ask him that! "I told Rudolf.

"My, name is Ferd and no I like women. What I was trying to say was I am pretty. and According to the pro amazing ninja tip to getting bitches #1 is to be pretty.mmmmmhm" the guy said.

"What's with the weird sexual sound you made in the end?" Rudolf asked with a face of disgust.

"Are you touching yourself under that bench?"Deos followed suit.

"Hell, no he is definitely asexual or something. He is even sitting in the last row where there is no one else sitting" I said as I engaged in this particular train of conversational flow.

"Bet this sick fuck wanted to touch himself in other places" Rudolf did the same

"Why must you guys harass me as such? What did I do to u guys?" asked Ferd in his narcissistic stretched and lazy tone.

"What did you do? You just popped up and made us feel very uncomfortable." went Rudolf

"You guys do realize that you are still holding each other's hands right? Ah, oh so tightly too.eeehe" Ferd shot back

"There he goes again. Dude stop making those... noises." Rudy said now even more annoyed.

Shit, I forgot about asserting my dominance over this fool. I got distracted by that gay dude.

Sadly Rudolf had the same thought. They were now once again focused on each other. We put our entire arm into it this time. I could feel the right side of my neck tighten and pain. and I could see veins popping up on his right lower cheek stretching all the way down to his shoulder one was out until one had established his superiority over the other.

"Ay, back there fighting already or what sit the hell back down," said the teacher.

Shit missed her self-introduction.

We sat down but we didn't let go of our hands. The teacher left almost as soon as we sat down. I gathered that since it was the first day there would be no teaching done.

Rudolf pulled his hand up onto the table with mine.

"Let's SETTLE THIS THE MANLY WAY, ARM WRESTLING COME AT ME. NO MORE SUBCONSCIOUS BULLSHIT." Rudolf challenged me.

"BRING IT!"

No one managed to make the other budge an inch. Until...Lexny walked up behind me and said"Fighting on the first day?".I was too focused to have heard anything but Rudolf did. and his grip loosened.

"OPPORTUNITY," I thought to myself and had a great push I was about to win when e regained control.

"DAmn distracted by a bitch" Rudolf thought to himself.

We both were once again stuck in a stalemate. However, this time I was in a much more advantageous position.

The class had gathered around us. some boys were watching with respect and admiration while some chattered and gossiped about what is happening.

Fred on the other hand had started tearing up at this point." this has to be the most legendary and manly duel I have ever seen" he said as he sniffed and blew his snot onto a handkerchief.

"Oh, I know you. We meet sooner than expected"waved Rudolf's sister from behind him. Once again a grip had been loosened and the other one would seize this opportunity. The tide of battle had turned again. There was a stalemate once again however the advantage this time with Rudolf.

"Goddammit, I was distracted by a bitch"I thought to myself as I regained control again as I was about to hit the edge. Both were still grinding their teeth. this went on for a minute neither budged an inch after.

The teacher who is supposed to teach technology and tools was already there and sitting in the class and no one noticed him.

At this point the people who were watching us broke into factions. one supporting me and the other supporting Rudy.

"Goddammit, I would have won if your pretty friend hadn't distracted me" Rudolf somehow managed to get some words in.

"And I would have won if your beautiful sister didn't distract me" I followed suit.

This was no longer just about asserting dominance. This was about pride.

Even our teacher was now interested in our conflict. He too came and even joined one of the factions after whatever story they told him. At this point, some people started cheering.

"rudy rudy rudy" and on the other side "redie redie redie".

The Rudy and Redie factions too started arguing with each other. Who would win this battle?

Someone had to put an end to this. Sadly the end came in a way very different than imagined.

A voice mail shot up onto everyone's integ system. It was sent by the headmaster it went something like this"Alright this is an emergency announcement. This feed is being sent to everyone connected to the academy systems. There have been some major cultist activities in Vrath for some time now. These guys are trying to do something and it could potentially take out the entire city. I have contacted the official hunters they will be there on standby. I want you guys to use this opportunity to get some experience. This is a rare opportunity so don't miss it. I want all students to assemble in the convocation hall. you will be briefed and mobilized. The 1st years are not permitted to partake in this drama. However, I would recommend you get yourselves the best possible seats cuz soon enough you will be a part of this. Now I want these ra cultists taken out. I have files attached to this transmission. Act with haste."And the end of transmission.

All the students momentarily forgot about the battle and moved out towards the convocation hall where they would be briefed about the situation.

Alright, the first day and there is going to be a bloodbath. I could not have possibly seen that coming. There was an air of excitement running through the students. I mean it's quite understandable .No one who applies to be a hunter in this day and age is sane. Being afraid of a lil blood and bodies is a part of the rejection criteria.
