Diez años después de la guerra, el mundo estaba cambiando lentamente y tratando de crear un sistema que evitara tanto odio hacia los dos extremos de la sociedad, pero era imposible para muchas personas seguir teniendo recuerdos y disgusto de lo que había sucedido. Las escuelas procedieron a iniciar un nuevo año escolar, a pesar de que conocían los inconvenientes que se estaban viviendo en ese momento.
Uno de los muchos niños que se preparaban para ingresar a la escuela secundaria caminaba por las calles de una ciudad llamada Glosbar, conocida como la ciudad del cielo estrellado. Iba en camino de tomar la prueba final y ser admitido en North Waltz School, un internado donde había estado inscrito anteriormente y pudo aprobar entre miles de estudiantes. De repente vio a varios hombres tratando de robar a una niña. No quería intervenir porque temía que le hicieran algo. Era un albino de pelo corto, tez oscura y ojos azules, y mientras caminaba distraído por la situación, se topó con otro chico de pelo negro y ojos carmesí, de complexión delgada. Cayó al suelo y trató de disculparse con él, pero antes de decir la primera palabra fue a ayudar a la joven.
Frente a los dos sujetos, pateó a uno de ellos en la cabeza, sin poder reaccionar. El otro reaccionó de inmediato rascándose el brazo, pero respondió rápido y lo noqueó de un solo golpe, el último sujeto huyendo del lugar. Mientras tanto, el niño albino observaba la escena desde lejos y se dirigía a su destino, North Walt School.
Tomó un tren que lo dejó casi a las puertas del instituto, a pocos metros se podía ver su estructura. Estaba compuesto por unos 20 bloques de diferentes longitudes, y uno de color beige, que predominaba en todos ellos.
Al acercarse se cruzó con otras personas que iban al mismo lugar, pero primero tuvo que cruzar la puerta. Al entrar, pasó por un pequeño parque, con poca vegetación, pero bien cuidado. A su alrededor, nuevos y viejos estudiantes caminaban de un lado a otro, a quienes no parecía importarles mucho su presencia. Hasta que llegó al primer edificio, que por su ubicación parecía ser administrativo.
Procedió a ingresar y habló con la recepcionista, quien le entregó los papeles comprobando que ya había realizado su preinscripción.
-Vaya a la oficina de asistencia social para tomar sus exámenes ", dijo.
Fue a ese lugar y cuando llegó, se encontró con cientos de personas esperando en la fila para ser admitidas. El aire acondicionado apenas alcanzaba para tanta gente, el local estaba completamente lleno y los exámenes se turnaban. Esto aumentó la agonía de la espera, por lo que pasó buena parte del día en esa habitación esperando, como todas las personas que estaban allí. Hasta que finalmente fue su turno.
Primero le hicieron las pruebas médicas básicas, para evitarle problemas. Simultáneamente, estuvieron presentes otras cinco personas, atendidas por otras enfermeras, reflejando el cansancio de trabajar una jornada completa. Lo atendió una joven de cabello negro y ojos morados. Vestía como las demás enfermeras, pero tenía la misma placa que la de la escuela.
-Dime, ¿tienes alguna discapacidad o problema?
-Uh ... creo que será mejor que leas este informe, de preinscripción ", dijo.

-Okay, attach it to your medical record. I'll give you a routine checkup first.
Like all the other people, they had to measure her weight, height and pressure. After that he had to do a series of physical performance tests, for which he had to go to a gym.
He quickly got on a machine to measure physical resistance and speed, and soon after he finished he went to calculate his strength, with 10-pound weights at first, and little by little they reached the limit he could reach.
-Okay, that's it, you can go to the next test," said the woman, as she finished writing down the results.
Luan, a little tired from the physical effort, and together with the same group went to a room to do a psychological test.
Here they asked her questions about the situation in the country, about society, and about levels of power. He was a little nervous about what the result of the test would be, and answered almost at random and without any coherence, since he was not sure how he would evaluate it.
Shortly after passing the psychological test, he headed for the last one. There they would measure the amount of energy he could manipulate. But for better or worse. Everyone's results could be seen on a screen. At that moment there were about fifty people, who constantly wanted to know the Ce of all, because they were curious about those who would be his companions in the next years.
At the moment that it touched him, he put his hand in the machine and immediately the results began to be seen.
Amount of Ce 80. Level 1.
In silence he left that place ignoring the looks that maybe the rest of the people could do. And he arrived at the auditorium, which could not accommodate another person.

At about 7:00 p.m. they began to give the results of 1200 only 375 would remain. And their names were on a list.
The pressure to stay shook all the people who were there.
They openly pasted the list in one place from those who had been left.
A large number of people grouped together to see if their names were there and little by little, sad and happy faces were seen in that auditorium. Little by little the place began to be unoccupied.
Luan almost went to look at the list, at the end of all that endless line of names, he found his own.
370.Luan Olivera.
He was happy, he couldn't contain his emotion.
-You passed by, go to the bedrooms," said a man who was near them.
-You have to go to the bedroom on the way and then you will be assigned a living room and a room in the central bedroom.
-Hey...How do you know I passed by?
-You look happy, the ones who didn't make it a while ago left, and they looked sad.
-Hey...okay, so bye.
When she was on her way there she met that crimson-eyed young man and they exchanged glances, he stopped and spoke to her.
-You dropped this high school card," said the black-haired boy.
-Thank you, I didn't think I lost it.
-Well, if we're in the same room, my name is Alison.
-I think you know... my name is Luan," he said, doubting the words he was going to say.
-Okay, see you later.
They both said goodbye and went to their assigned room.

The next day Luan took a bath and went to the auditorium where he would be shown the room in which he would be. Walking through the halls, almost full of high school students, he realized that everyone was watching him. They all knew he was one of the new ones, for not having the uniform and being so young. In the middle of his walk, he met a familiar face, his cousin Hana, who called him.
-Hello," said Hana friendly.
-Hi...hello.
-Hello Luan, are you looking for the auditorium?
-Uh...yeah, I got up late and didn't catch up with the group.
-It doesn't matter I'll take you, remember I'm the vice president of the school.
She had brown hair, yellow eyes, an expressive look and was coming with her friends, they took him to the auditorium.
There were only new students, the representatives of each upper class and the student president.
The new entrants had clothes and bags.
The student president and the principal welcomed them. The president of the council was called Snaider, he had dark brown hair and green eyes, and one look would be.
They showed the results on a screen and from the first room, each one of those who appeared on the list grouped together, and then they called the second one, there was Luan, he grouped together with those who would be his classmates and he met that boy they exchanged looks, for a moment, his teacher became in front of them, and the other remaining rooms continued.
When the meeting was over, each teacher took their students to their formal dormitories.
The group went to block 40 where the dormitories were, first they took the women to their dormitory, and then they went to the women's dormitories, in the course there were 17 men and 8 women.
Luan estuvo distraído por unos minutos y era el último en la asignación, cuando preguntó por su compañero, le mostraron que el chico de ojos carmesí y su otro compañero habían pedido un cambio de habitación porque consideraba que no debería estar allí.
Cuando entró en su habitación había tres camas. Fue a la primera cama y la otra a la esquina. La habitación era bastante grande, de color beige, un armario y dos ventanas, una de las cuales tenía una especie de balcón, además de aire acondicionado. El baño era azul y bastante conflictivo.
Ambos se quedaron en silencio y ninguno habló, el resto de la noche fue bastante extraño, para ambos chicos.
