2 days later
2 days passed quickly. It was approaching 10 o'clock at night when Kai and the others finally saw the tallest tower in the school. It was a tower filled with splendour, and the entire academy appeared behind it.
About an hour had passed. Kai and the others had finally arrived in front of the school. It was impossible for them not to feel like they had arrived at Hogwarts wizarding school.
There had been no other attacks so far. While Kai and the others were comfortably making their way to the academy, they had made almost no progress in their degrees. Only Emma had taken half a step to the top of the Yellow Lightning.
Normally, being a half-step is very difficult in degrees. To be a half-step, you have to be a half-step into a lightning bolt. So a half-step is like blue lightning. But because Emma was infinitely close to the peak, Jace said she could be considered a half-step.
The benefits of this. She'd be able to reach the summit at the slightest thing, and she'd be able to harness some of the power of the summit. In short, he was stronger than any of the normal mid-levels, but weaker than the peaks.
As Kai and the others were about to enter the school gate, they saw someone waiting at the gate. He had a sincere smile on his face. He smiled when Lena and Jace smiled back.
He had black hair and blue eyes. His hair was coming to his shoulders. He looked 35 to 40 years old, but both Kai and the others had a feeling that he was older than that.
When he saw Lena, he turned directly to her.
As he opened his arms, Lena went straight into his arms.
"Welcome home." Lena pulled back as she looked at him with a smiling face.
"I think that stupid boy has finally apologised for his actions." Lena laughed as Jace hung his head in shame. Kai and the others stared at them like stalks.
"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Michael.... It doesn't matter, never mind that. I'm the principal of this school." While everyone said they understood, Kai wondered what level Michael was at. And also what emotions he had. Maybe how many emotions.
"Actually, the reason I came here was to show you your home. But after I got here I realised that it would be a bit conspicuous for you to walk around with me. I'm very famous as headmaster. The whole academy admires me. I was strong, mighty and muscular. The picture of masculinity. You walking around with me will attract a lot of attention. So you'll have to drive yourself home. You have another flatmate, by the way. Get along with him. Jace will tell you about school. I'm busy right now. I just wanted to stop by when I heard you were coming. "he said. Everyone was surprised except Jace and Lena when he disappeared suddenly after his speech.
"He's really fast. " Seeing him, a feeling of helplessness arose in Kai. But the powerful beings within him suppressed this feeling.
"I think we'd better go. There's someone we still have to meet."

Kai and the others were walking down the road and passers-by were looking at them. Kai and the others felt that this time it was not because of appearance.
"Why are they looking at us? " said Kai. No one bothered as Jace turned his head to him. They were still staring.
"I don't know, I think there's something we don't know. Maybe it has something to do with our flatmate." they decided not to care about them as everyone looked around.
"Tell us a bit about the academy, Jace." As Jace took a deep breath, it was obvious that he was going to talk for a long time.
"There are classes at the academy. The courses we know are only 1 course. The ones like biology and history are the ones we have adapted. Apart from that, everyone's emotions have lessons. And there are fighting lessons. We meet each other. Other than that, there's District 1 and District 2... " They were very close to home while Jace was telling them. When they listened to everything, a plan had already formed in their minds.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
"We will win the world tournament. "said Kai. He said it like it was something so simple that even Jace couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but admire his hollow confidence. The first years probably couldn't even qualify for the tournament.
"That's a little difficult, I heard they're going to do something different this year, and it was rumoured that the first years would be the ones who would suffer the most. Besides, our academy has been treated as the weakest academy for years. "
Kai and the others felt that they needed to improve themselves much more as they progressed. If it was thought that the 1st Graders would lose, it could only be because of the weakness of the 1st Graders.
As they stopped in front of a house, they carefully examined it. The house was made of wood. It looked like the large houses in holiday villages where a few people could live. It had a very pleasant and relaxing design. In the world as we know it, such houses were worth a fortune. Here they were allocated to ordinary students and there were thousands of them.
There was no sound coming from inside the house as Jace opened the door. As they entered behind Jace, everyone wondered why there was no sound. One more person had to be here.
At that moment, a girl jumped out and grabbed Emma and shielded her against them.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" While Kai and the others were surprised, they were more surprised that the girl was able to take Emma hostage. That meant she was at least at the peak of the yellow lightning. None of them had even realised the danger. Jace and Lena were gone. They wanted to see some friends. Otherwise, could this girl take Emma hostage?
Still, no one was worried about Emma. They weren't her enemies.
"We're your new flatmates. They must have told you," Jack said. As the girl let Emma go, she looked at them, puzzled. Then she turned furious.
"Come now?! Do you know what I went through until you came? I was humiliated, beaten up, bullied every week. I couldn't do anything to them until today. Now I can, but you thought of coming now! Why?"
Melony let go of Emma, but the others were already feeling the shame. While they were enjoying the beauty of life and travelling comfortably in the caravan, Melony had probably encountered bad things. Even though they too had encountered bad things, they were strong enough to deal with them. Jace and Lena were clearly very strong.
Melony was alone.
"I apologise. For me and for my friends. Can we really be friends? We'll do everything we can to get you to forgive us."
Kevin held out his hand.
"My name is Melony. "
"Kevin."
The two of them shook hands while Jack was secretly picking his nose in the background. Emma and Kai were flirting and Jace and Lena were coming into the house. Clearly none of them had cared what Melony had said from the start. Kevin and Melony were back in their own world for a bit.
They met everyone as they sat down. Melony told Kai and the others what had happened before they arrived. It was really cruel what they had done. Even Jace was outraged by what he heard.
"Probably no one noticed my absence while I was meditating for 3 days. That's when I reached the peak of the yellow lightning, and I had just finished cleaning the sweat-washed carpets before you arrived." The girls took a deep breath while the boys looked at him with puzzled eyes. In 3 days he had reached the peak of the peak from the beginning. This was really something to be admired. Monsters like Kai and the others were not easy to find.
"Fortunately, we arrived late. We got rid of the carpet at the last moment." said Emma. As she spoke, Lena made a 'you're right' sign. The men decided not to care about them. If they saw a dirty carpet. They would lie on it and watch telly. It would take them quite a while to even realise that the carpet was dirty.
"So what's your grade?" she said it in such a way that it sounded like she was waiting for them to praise her.
Emma was the first to speak.
"I'm half a step away from the top of Yellow Lightning." Kai was laughing inwardly as Melony looked at her in surprise. How surprised would he be if he knew she was the weakest person in the group?
Lena was the second to speak.
"I am the Orange Lightning Starter. I'm from District 2. 16 years old." Melony looked like she was about to have a heart attack, but to Kai's surprise, she managed to speak.
"Isn't that a bit much? Even if you're 16 years old and from District 2, even the people there couldn't easily come to Orange Lightning." Lena laughed, this time very sincerely.
"That's why they call us the geniuses of geniuses." Melony swallowed and looked at the men.
This time it was Kevin who spoke.
"I just reached the top of the peak of the Yellow Lightning."
"Same as me," Melony said. Both Kevin and the others knew she was secretly upset.
There was one other suspicious point. They didn't ask him about it, but he didn't say anything about it, so they didn't ask.
"There's always someone stronger, Melony. There always has been. There always will be."
Melony was about to ask Kai when Jack intervened.
"I'm at the top of the peak myself."
Melony was completely focused on him when Kai finally spoke.
"What emotion did you say you were using?" Kai laughed as the others wanted to see how much his answer would surprise her.
"I can control all six emotions." Melony looked at him intently, but then decided not to care. She didn't quite understand what that meant.
"So what's your rating?" Kai continued as the others looked drunk again.
"I'm only in the middle of the middle in anger, you see, I can only trust all my emotions."
"I see."
Melony then got up. She yawned a little and then headed up the stairs to her room. In the meantime, she told the others to go to sleep. After all, the next day was quite a fun day.
