Everything Is Different
Seated in the prison cell, there wasn't anything else he could do but stare at the ceiling as he wondered when the plan would finally be out in motion. Henry had been captured and detained in this containment cell after the incident with the first years, abd he was slowly loosing his patience as all sorts of thoughts crawled into his mind.
He contemplated just breaking out and facing whoever would stand in his path just to get out of there. However, he was still wise enough time know that that wouldn't be a smart move. So, all he could do now was stare at the ceiling as his mind wandered endlessly.
In another room, the military manwss busy punishing the students who had failed to adhere to the school rules and regulations. All sorts of tactics were used. Severe beating, electrocution, overall torture. Wherever would get the message through to these youngsters that they were meant to respect the laws set in place by the higher-ups of the academy.
Today, there was a new arrival from the first years to join the other students in serving punishment. Whenever Mike would decide to take a break, the other students would gather around any new student that was sent there till inquire about what offense they had committed to be placed along with them.
After a while of interrogation, they had come to realize that he was sent here for wanting to challenge one of the instructors because he felt insulted by the way the person addressed him.
Of course, he was put in his place for acting out of character and sent here to be dealt with accordingly.
Not long after, and it was time for the military man to continue with the punishments for the day. Although it was technically night at this point, he had decided that these students would only be allowed to sleep at some point before ten in the night.
Just as Mike was about to hit one of the students, an odd feeling had suddenly overcame him, and before he knew it, he had lost his balance ad fell towards the floor, completely baffling the other students.
"What just happened? Did he just loose consiousness?"
"I don't think so. Have you forgotten what this dude's made of? Chances are, I think he fell asleep?"
"Fell asleep? Him? Now?"
They were all wondering what had just happened to the man, abd although none of them were upset, they were just wondering why something so weird had happened all of a sudden, and with no one present to give out a good enough explanation, all they could do was talk amongst themselves now that there wasn't anyone to tell them what to do.
In the midst of their bickering, the military man had suddenly began to move. It started off as a twitch if his fingers, before low grunts could be heard by those who were standing closest to him. Then, his fingers began to curl into fists, before he pushed against the ground, and the top half of his body raised up.
He stood up from the ground, his eyes scanning through the students in the room with him. Every single one of them had petrified look on their faces, for fear that he had heard every single word they had said while he was on the floor.
They all hoped that he wouldn't pounce on them and give them the beating of a lifetime.
"I… I have to free that student!" He suddenly said, rushing off to the door leading towards the prison cell.
The other students couldn't help but look at each other as they were all wondering just what on Earth was going on with the large man.
Opening the door, he stepped in, abd immediately, he went to face the cell of the student known as Henry Ven.
"Now, that was fast," Henry said, with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the first year student had walked out of the arena, and now, standing in the hallway, he began to concentrate as he activated his ability.
"Let's get this over with," Marcus said, as he activated his ability.

"This is going just according to plan," Patricia said, watching what was going on from the second year students' building. Standing around her, were her companions, who were also interested in what was going on in the first year building. "The Leaders will be pleased to find out that we are doing our part just fine.
"Now, we just need one more thing to complete our part."
The others around her nodded their heads in response, while they continued to watch the events unfold.
Somewhere else in the second year building, a group of students were fighting against one of the students who had participated in the inter-student competition from not too long ago. After a mild disagreement, a major fight had broken out in the hallway, while all the other students moved back, giving as much space as they could for the fight to take place.
The student that was currently defending herself against a dozen other second years, was a second year student named Margaret Monica. With her ice powers, she would create sharp ice shards and hold them firmly in her grasp, using them as weapons by swinging them at whichever student threatened to come too close to her.
Also, she could freeze whoever got too close, turning them into living ice sculptures. However, depending on how strong the student was, they could be able to break free from the lcy prison, making them much harder to deal with.
Fortunately, she had other ways if dealing with the students throwing attacks at her. In the first place, they were all weak, at least by second year standards, meaning that they were like easy pickings for her.
What annoyed her the most, was the fact that they were all below her in rank, so she would not be able to actually gain anything from this encounter.
"All of this just because I told you to fuck off?!" She asked, looking straight into the crowd of people standing not too far away. Her eyes had locked with one of the make students, who had a large scowl on his face as he disappeared into the crowd of students the next moment.
"I guess I'll have to deal with you later, then."

It was finally the next day. Getting up and out of bed, the first thing that came into his vision was a load of system messages that blocked him s sight. Quickly, reading through them, his heart began to beat loudly.
[Warning!]
[A memory-altering ability has been used!]
[Host has been protected from the effects]
[Warning!]
[The academy is currently under the control of one Marcus Vonx]
[Quest Received]
[Defeat him to receive a greater reward!]
What had caught his attention more than anything else was the quest that was attached to the end of the string of messages. Although there were a number of thoughts rushing through his mind as to what might be going on,b the chance to potentially level up, or even unlock new werewolf skills, were too enticing for him.
'Still, I wonder what is going on, and just how all of this affects me and the others,' Kayden thought, as he git easy before heading out into the hallway. 'Nothing seems strange. Everyone is just going about their day as normal. Is all if this just a joke?'
He brought back up the messages with a simple thought, and after reading through everything one more time, he put away the messages before arriving at the first class for the day. Stepping into the room, he saw that all the students were simply just chatting away like nothing had changed. He quickly went to take his seat along with a couple others who had arrived into the classroom at the same time.
Not long after, and someone different had walked into the classroom. It wasn't one of the teachers, instead, it was someone who Kayden wasn't expected to see again, at least not in a place like this.
Immediately, he sorung into action, transforming before delivering a punch to the second year student. However, with his right hand, he was able to take the attack, without moving as much as an inch from where he stood.
"Now, is that how you treat your teacher?" Henry asked, with a wide grin on his face. "You deserve to be punished for that. Don't you think so?"
Drawing Kayden in, he delivered a blow to his gut using his other fist. The force of the blow caused Kayden's body to bend forward, his mouth opening wide as spit left his mouth. Not letting go, he threw him further in, before delivering a headbutt, causing Kayden's body to swing backwards. However, he still refused to let go.
"I always said u would get my revenge against you."
