Chapter 05: A year as a bronze crest(02)

Vector glanced to his right. "It's nothing bad. Well… As long as you meditate for a while. Yeah… Well maybe. Nah, you shouldn't be in any danger or anything. Ummm…If you get a headache tonight you should probably meditate like it shows in the upload so you don't end up in a short coma."

With that the food in Vector's tray vanished and he stood up. "Mmmm… that was so filling. I should go return my tray and do my homework. Yep that sounds right… Well see you guys later. Remember to meditate."

He then vanished leaving behind only a flicker of electrical arcs that dispersed into the air.

Justice and the boy stared at each other with confounded looks. Justice facepalmed. "I'm going to go and meditate. If I were you I'd do the same. I've known him for a long time. He's always been kind of a mad scientist type. We should be fine since he didn't say we should go to the medic or anything. We should definitely take that suggestion to heart though. What's your name by the way?"

"Matt… I'm D rank. We don't get a hero name unless we can get to C…Are you sure we'll be ok?"

Justice looked at him with a serious expression. "Oh, that's right… Well Matt you should just make sure to meditate, just to be safe… Ok?"

Matt stiffly nodded his head.

Then Justice finished his food without another word with a look of worry on his face. He would occasionally glance at Matt. After finishing, he stood up and immediately vanished from Matt's sight.

Matt stopped eating mid bite as Justice disappeared. He then jumped out of his seat, his 168cm slender frame knocking it over as he ran out of the cafeteria in a panic headed in the direction of the red dorms.

As he ran he passed two girls in red uniforms almost running them over in his haste.

The brunette girl looked at her blonde friend with a concerned look on her face. "Wasn't that Matt? Do you think he's alright? He looked kinda freaked out."

"Maybe it's something he ate. Why? Do you wanna go hold his hand?"

"Eww… Not if he's gotta go to the bathroom. I'll just message him later to make sure he's ok."

The blonde girl leaned in towards her friend's side and puckered her lips, "Oh, Gloria's gonna message him?" Then she hugged herself while making kissing sounds.

Gloria pushed her friend as she blushed. "Shut up Gale… He's a nice guy. I just wanna make sure he's ok."

Then she walked into the cafeteria.

Gale shrugged and followed her in.

As Vector walked into class Justice's head swiveled and he locked his gaze on Vector. He pointed at him and then at the seat next to him.

Vector rubbed the bridge of his nose and went over and took the seat. "Hehe…So did the upload work?"

"...Yes… I honestly am at a loss. I want to be mad because I'm 90% sure that what you did was super dangerous. However I can honestly say that I can sense farther and my mind feels like it's working faster after whatever that was you did."

"So the memories… Are they there?"

"...I think so. It's a lot to process, honestly. I've been going about getting stronger wrong this whole time."

"Not wrong per-say, just not totally right."

"..."

"..."

Justice facepalmed. "Dude why do I completely understand so much about stuff I've never even heard of? Is all this stuff you put in my head for real?"

"Oh, it's real. How else do you think it could put memories in your head?" ('Also, how else would I have learned this little trick?')

Justice nearly fell out of his seat as he jerked his head back. "AHHHH!!!"

Vector looked at him smiling. ('That's right, telepathy. I also figured out how to make an energy blade. Cool, right?')

Justice nodded his head with a dumbfounded look on his face.

At this point Vector's face went stiff and he turned to face forward. ('Don't tell anyone about the telepathy… Grandma said I'm not even supposed to tell you about it. So please don't snitch on me…')

Justice looked at Vector with a look of firm resolution. "I won't…"

As he said that, a 170cm tall man with hair and eyes as blue as the ocean came into the

room and proceeded to the podium at the front of the room. He wore a silver suit with a mandarin collar. The man looked at the two boys and smiled. "Welcome to S rank homeroom class. I'm sure you are wondering where your classmates are.

In this class we have students from every crest level. Due to the number of S rank here at the academy, all of the S rank students have the same homeroom class.

Your classmates aren't back from their field trip yet so it will just be us till Monday. My name is Riptide by the way and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next 5 years.

He then activated the holo-device on his wrist. "Oh, I see you've already selected hero names. Good, that will save some time. So Justice and Vector let's get this started. First I'll go over the school's regulations with you."

Riptide then pressed a button on the podium bringing up a large holographic display above it. On the display was a list of all the school rules and regulations.

For the next hour he went over the school's rules until a bell rang throughout the campus. He looked at his two students. "OK, boys so from here you'll be heading to the auditorium for your placement testing. It's to see where you are academically.

Not everyone that attends the academy has the same type of background so it's necessary to get anyone who needs help with their basic studies caught up. That way everyone can receive the education they need to be effective Heroes and citizens.
