Chapter 3(Lee): A Strange Way To Get Started

Day of Graduation

That dream, it was then first I've had something like it. It felt so real, to the point it was startling, it really was my younger self, the self I resented so much.

"Come on slowpokes, you all gonna sleep in the entire day!" Nicholai was banging on the door, Kenneth, Kyle, and Matt were already up.

"Yeah..yeah, we're coming" I got up from my bed and changed, walking out the door when I was done "Thank god we're gonna get our own rooms after this, it's cramped in these ones"

"Agreed" Kyle, unlike him, agreed We all stretched and started to make our way to the central building, where our graduation would take place

"So? What do you think it's gonna be like? Our new lives as DTs, I'm personal excited" Sam was pretty hyped for it, I was too, put as everyone kept talking, I kept thinking about that dream. Why did I have it now, and not back then when I was human.

"So just hold on....Just a bit longer" Why did I say that, I guess, I said it because I wanted to hear it, I gu-

"Hey! You paying attention? We're here" Nicholai snapped me back to reality, If she didn't I'd probably go through an existential crisis.

"Oh, sorry, my bad, I was just thinking" I gave a sheepish smile and looked up at the building. "Huh, this thing looks cool I'll give it that"

"Thinking about what?" Sam, ignoring what I said except for the beginning asked that question, which I knew she would sooner or later

"I'll tell you another time Sam, let's get this over with first" I walked in front of them opening the door so they could get through "Come on now, don't wanna keep them waiting"

"Ah huh..." Nicholai was suspicious, right, they didn't know what I was like in middle school, there was a period in time where we were separated, and it was the worst two years of my life, so I didn't want them to know

We all walked in and noticed multiple people standing in the center, and Raymond, Neal, Alice, and Kai were standing on the stage...Kai, I don't know why, but I feel like I recognize him, I feel like when I was alive, I wanted him dead. Shoving my feelings aside, we all went and joined the crowd

"Everyone, I would first like to apologize, during the trials a corruption outbreak happened and because of that, not only were you rushed to use your powers, most likely causing pain to your brains, but many people also died. In the end, though, you people standing here prevailed, in a matter of two days, or even one for some, you learned magic and how to summon your weapons, I couldn't have asked for better cadets" Everyone standing in the crowd were quiet, either that or sadly sobbing from losing their loved ones or friends, honestly, a part of me wants to forget this and leave, people's family and whatnot, died, and this sure as hell ain't a good apology, just saying sorry and making them to DTs earlier, what a pathetic excuse for an apology.

"Me, Kai, Neal, and Alice, were deployed into the arena to see what everyone is capable of. We'll be announcing everyone's regiment placements now." The seven of us in a way stood out, either because maybe our age, or because of how we look standing together Me and Sam with bright colored hair (White-ish pink and just pink), Nicholai and Kenneth being blond unlike everyone's darker hair colors here, and Kyle and Kayla's dark looks, mostly wearing all black with brown hair. I practically blocked out every name until I heard ours

"Kayla, Sam, and Kenneth will be assigned to regiment 3" Hold on, what happened to, if you win together you're on the same team, even if basically everyone won, wouldn't you still realize who went in together? I could tell Kenneth and Sam were pissed off in a way as well, Kayla didn't really mind, after all she used to be a mercenary with her brother, so it only made sense.
