True Awakening {II}

The air suddenly felt heavier than usual, the dolls that were fighting with vigor and aim a few seconds ago, suddenly turned lifeless and crumbled into piles of woods as everyone's attention was drawn to the fallen building.

That was what Shian saw before he passed out cold on the floor.

The building seemed to loose its life as it fell like a broken toy, crashing heavily on the ground, raising dust in the process and blocking everyone from Shian's view.

Shian who had unknowingly caused this, could be seen writhing on the ground like a fish thrown out of water, his breathing was erratic, and his face contorted into a myriad of scary expressions that were a testsment to the killer pain that he was feeling at the moment.

He was knocked out, but his body still reacted heavily to the changes going on within and outside him.

His fists that were clenched had the nails dig deeply into his palms, not because of how tightly he subconsciously squeezed them, but due to his nails elongating into sharp claws.

His hair, once silky, smooth and white, took on a new color and turned into an abyssal black, and became so long and thick, it looked more like a mane.

Shian's eyes which were wide open and bloodshot, had his eyes turn into red predatory slits.

He subconsciously began to let out a beastial growl, making the ground tremble from the deep bass it carried.

He visibly grew taller and made his uniform get stretched, but it adjusted to his size like it had been programmed to.

His legs became inverted like a wolf's, but much more thicker and sturdier, his muscles swole up and condensed down until they were as tough as steel, his already strong physique seemed to have been reforged and sculpted again, making his muscles more defined.

Tattered leathery bat like wings burst out of his back, tearing his uniform in the process, and then it flapped once, clearing the smoke and dust in the vicinity. But no one saw him as he was still within the building.

A tail also tore through his uniform, swaying playfully from left to right. Its length reaching two meters, and ending in a sharp drill like end.

Scales that seemed gray and lifeless began to grow from his skin, covering every inch of it, and a white exoskeletal armour began to cover him around, including his face that seemed to be covered in a life-like skull-shaped helmet.

Then finally, a curved horn, as white as his exoskeleton, rose from his forehead with a deathly grace.

Ryan who had been staring in the direction of Shian, saw how his energy reading suddenly spiked up, and his body shape begin to change drastically.

Shian still passed out, finally had his eyes closed, then... just as immediately as the weird mutations appeared, they disappeared.

His horns, tail and wings were sucked back into his body, his exoskeleton reversed, his scales submerged, and his eyes returned to their blue color, but only his hair remained the same.

Shian layed still on the floor, his breathing a bit rough and painful, luckily, Ryan ignored the weird scene he had just witnessed and ran into the building with his guards still raised. The building might just be baiting them to get close, he couldn't tell.

He got by Shian's side and scanned him from his head to toes, wanting to spot any difference in him. 'I can swear I saw his body shape change for a second.' He thought. 'Or was it just me getting disoriented because I saw a large amount of energy at once?' He scratched his chin in thought. 'Must be.'

Ryan didn't ponder for too long about it and reached out to Pick Shian up, but before he could....

"I suggest you don't touch him." Alucard said and walked in with a carefree nonchalant attitude.

"And why is that?" Ryan replied seemingly unbothered by Alucard's words, he placed his hands under Shian's neck and knees and tried to pull him up, then...

...Shian didn't budge an inch.

"Cos you can't lift him." Alucard replied with a light smile that pissed off Adam who walked in a second later.

Ryan calmed himself and asked the obvious. "How do you know this, and who are you?"

"Let's say... I just know, and as for who I am, I go by the name, Alucard."

Ryan stared for a second, his pupiless eyes giving Adam the creeps.

"We're his roommates." Adam interjected which made Ryan to calm down a little.

And just as he was about to reply and introduce himself, the sound of slow clapping echoed in the room. They immediately raised their guards up and backed each other.

"Good! Good! Good! That's impressive." A voice came from ahead of them, and they all turned to see who had spoken.

"Don't be so tensed, I'm just here to talk." A yellow haired boy spoke with a calm smile on his face.

He was tall, reaching seven feets in height, had broad shoulders that stretched his uniform, and a mark on his right chest that signified that he was a second year student.

"You all have done well, you've shown the will and courage every student in this academy must have." He said, gesturing with his hands at every word. "But...you have still failed the simple task given to you all."

The faces of them all showed confusion, but was soon turning into one of anger.

The five scions and some other random students had joined in time to listen to him, and were beginning to get angry at what they thought he was getting at.

"You call this simple?" Ryan said with gritted teeths. "We were just put through some kind of stupid, needless trial, just because a student did something wrong, and you still tell us this bullshit after we almost got injured?"

"One of us is already injured, and I think you are just a sadistic fucker to treat us like this." Adam spat.

The other students backed them with their own words and hurled insults at the second year student.

"Sigh! Didn't you listen to the teachers during the New Students Welcome Program?" The yellow haired students said calmly before his voice turned colder. "I can do whatever the Fuck I want and you can't do shit! So you all better comply and receive your punishment."

"Or what?" A voice dripping with anger, echoed in the building, sending shivers down the spine of those who heard it.

They all simultaneously turned their heads to look at the source, and saw Shian getting up to his feets with a indifferent expression on his face, but when they saw his eyes that seemed to have turned to deadly slits, and were glowing an intense red, they didn't know when they took a step back and thought.

'He's dangerous!!'
