Dorm Room

Shian felt his world crumbling, he had high hopes for himself to awaken a superb ability, and true he had done just that, but his constitution wasn't strong enough contain the ability.

Either it was too powerful for him, or he was too weak, either way, he was fucked up, because he could see the stares those around him where giving him.

They stared at him with jealousy evident in their looks, some looked at him with contempt, as if he was not worthy enough to wield the power that he 'had'.

If only they knew that he was almost as powerless as a commoner right now, they'll revel in their tiny pride and ego, 'At least we're not as usless as he is!' that's what they would have thought.

They were shown out of the hall to their seperate dorm rooms, the parents bid their farewells and left them behind, to let their beloved children begin a new life in the academy.

Shian meanwhile was still in shock about the notification that popped up.

Not in a lifetime did he think that he, who was stronger than his peers, will not be strong enough to wield an ability, or was it his mind that wasn't strong enough.

It might not actually be that he wasn't strong enough to contain the ability physically, but mentally, was he ready to carry the burden that his ability was going to bestow upon him, was he ready to face the dangers that his immense power was going to throw at him.

Shian smiled brightly and spoke silently to himself.

"Even though I have to fight the heavens and the earth, I won't stop until I am the strongest person in the universe. And that is final!!!"

At the end of the day, all the students were given a card that contained all their info. It also was the key card that gave them access to their rooms, food in the cafeteria, training hall and all other places that they were given access to.

Shian and Ryan made their way towards their dorm, they navigated through the academy's compound with ease, they had after all, been told were to head to.

Shian and Ryan got to a red building with beautiful designs ardorning its surface, they marveled at its beauty, well, at least Shian did, Ryan didn't care and left shian behind, mostly because there was no energy coming off it.

As they walked in without hesitation, they were welcomed to a clean corridor with the door to the rooms arranged perfectly at seven meters intervals, the doors were red with golden trims and a black keycard scanner while the walls were a bright beige.

There were numbers on each door up to the sixth floor. Shian was placed number fifty nine, while Ryan was number two. They were really far from eachother.

Shian walked through the flight of stairs and got to the last room. He placed his watch in the face of the key card scanner and it scanned before opening.

Though they were all given a card, it wasn't an actual card, but virtual, that was in their watches. Shian transferred everything from the black card he was given into the watch since they were going to keep it even after they left the school.

Shian walked into the room after a brief scan to his watch, the interior of the room was okay, there was a metal bed to his left with a mattress that had a plain white sheet and duvet covering it.

To his right, there was another bed which was more close to the wall, it was also close to the bathroom, and just like the bed to the left, it was covered with a plain white sheet and duvet with a shelve and a table lamp on the shelve by the bed.

The last bed just across the door was beside the window and had a beautiful view of the academy grounds, due to the building being high, Shian was able to see the students walking about like they were ants.

He sat down on the bed after confirming that it was his choice, the view outside was calm and he wanted to wake up to it every morning.

Shian began to empty his belongings on the shelve by the side of his bed where a lamp stood.

After that was done, he got up from the bed that had it's sheets scrunched up a bit by his butt. He walked to the door which he determined as the bathroom and slid it open.

A sparkling bathtub stood on the ground with an open curtain, a toilet was at the other side, and the ground glinted and reflected the light that came in through the window.

He nodded his head in satisfaction. "This room would be perfect if it was just for a single person." He said.

He went back to his bed, crossed his legs, closed his eyes and began to ponder on how to unlock his ability.

'I am sure that I am among to top ten strongest people my age who don't have an ability yet. Then that means it isn't about my physical strength, but something else... something I can't comprehend yet.'

'I need to figure out how to truly awaken, or else, if they find out that I don't have an ability, only the gods knows what would happen.'

As Shian was thinking, without opening his eyes, he said. "Wanna die?!"

A loud thud and a yelp was heard.

"How did you know?"

"At least you should apologize first." Shian opened his eyes to the sight of a black boy cleaning his butt and walking to the bed to the left.

"Sorry, honestly I thought you were in a trance, it happens to a few people who just awakened." The black boy replied.

"You know I could have punched you through the door." Shian said while still staring intently at him.

"Yeah no shit." The black boy replied as he remembered the feats Shian performed in the hall.

"I'm Adam Dane by the way. Nice to meet you."

"Shian Smith. Wasn't nice to meet you."

They then engaged in a fierce staring contest, Shian because he was still pissed of about Adam standing so close to him he could feel his hot breath on his face, while Adam did it for the fun of it not knowing that he was pissing Shian off.

As they stared, the door was seen sliding open, meaning that the third student was entering.

As they looked, expecting someone to enter, a grey mist flowed through the door and coalesced on the third bed, before taking the shape of a person.

"Hello."
