As soon as they were done singing, they dematerialised into orbs again and flew through the ceiling back into the universe where they came from. Kendric had so many questions for his grandmother and he felt empty inside when she left. Master Uruk put his hand down on his shoulder as if he knew how Kendric felt.
'Truthseekers, it is time for class. You will now see a light in front of you, follow that light through the hallways to your classroom.'
Kendric watched in front of him and saw a bright blue light. He quickly looked at Zuberi and Marcellus. They both had the same blue colour as Kendric. He felt relieved knowing they were in the same class. Kenji also had the same colour but unfortunately Yrsa had purple. They left the messhall through the wormhole together and followed the blue light which floated through the hallways along some other colours. They had to go left while some other colours were turning right into the hallway. He saw Yrsa going right together with some girls she apperently befriended. He felt some jealousy of the guys who had the same colour as Yrsa.
He overheard Marcellus talking to Zuberi.
'Which power did you get?' but Zuberi sushed him. Than he saw why, the teacher from last night was standing at the end of their bright blue light next to a wormhole.
'Dive in, or do I have to say "yip yip" to get your asses fly into my classroom?'
Was she really doing an Avatar Aang impression on his flying bison?
Kendric liked her already as he was a big last airbender fan.
They stepped into the wormhole and when they got out of it they found themselves standing in a round room. Or actually it looked more like a sphere. The whole classroom was round like a ball, even the ground.
'Yes, yes, you can walk in circles. Do it, get it out of your system so that we can continue.' She seemed in a hurry as she said it all very fast.
Kendric walked around from the floor, to the walls and the ceiling. This was so much cooler than he could ever imagine. When he was standing on the ceiling he didn't had the feeling at all that he was hanging upside down, more so that the classroom was turned upside down and he was still standing straight. It felt strange, not earthly...
He walked over the walls again and saw Marcellus run in circles like a crazy person. Kenji already took his seat at a big round table surrounded by big comfy pillows. He walked to a pillow next to Kenji and sat down. Zuberi sat next to him.
'Yes, hurry up, sit down so we can start today's lesson.'
Marcellus ran to a pillow and sat down between two girls. You had to give it to him, he had some guts.
As soon as they all found a seat at the round table the teacher opened up a touchscreen in front of her.
'My name is Miss Bria, as many will find me strange, which I am for you since I am not from your planet. Well you just have to deal with me. I am from the planet Ontarius, it is a few galaxies away from here. My planet lookes nothing like yours, it is darker and our sun isn't as bright as yours. This explaines my pail skin and laserlooking eyes. No, no diamants are in my eyeballs, believe me, many others before you have wondered. Yes, before you ask, we all have this on my planet. Actually, earth is quite unique having so many different kind of people. Not many other planets have that. But that's another history lesson for another day. I will help you master your given powers and teach you on your true history. I am also your personal mentor for your blue class.'
Kendric noticed a scutcheon hanging above her. It was some kind of shield in a round form colored bright blue with a black pyramid in the middle.
'Miss Bria, what is that?' Kendric pointed at the scutcheon.
Miss Bria looked up.
'Ah yes, it is the weaponshield or coat of arms for your class. As you now know, you are forming the colourclass blue. This bright blue is presented in this scutcheon. Your sign is the black pyramid which I will tell you more about it later this week in historyclass. The perfect round form is ofcourse presenting earth.'
She then stared at the girl sitting at the right side from Marcellus: 'You truly have bin gifted knowing so much already before you even stepped foot in this school, how lucky you are. It seems you are here because of your natural gifts, what did your spirit guide gave you as a bonus?'
The girl proudly smiled. Her long dark black, straight hair was hanging to one side over her shoulder, she had small hazelbrown eyes, was very petite and it was hard to say where she was from. She looked a bit Asian but not like someone from China or Thailand. She looked more like the Maori people, some indigenous origin if Kendric had to guess.
'Well it is our culture, to stay close to the spiritworld. I was always gifted with the sight, having preminisions and able to talk to my ancestors. My spiritguide told me he was always there guiding me and gave me the power of astral projection,' she looked down staring at her fingers which she nervously played with, being humble by given such a great gift.
'Ok, continue, where are you from, tell us something about you?' Miss Bria rushed her. It seemed she didn't like to spell everything out.
'My name is Cahya, I am from an island called Tanimbar. It is one of many which are known as the spice islands or as we call it "Maluku". My island is not very far away from Australia, though topographically it is in Melanesia, we belong to Indonesia though and aren't independant. I was born in a place called Tumbur and I am 15 years old.'
Miss Bria thanked Cahya for her introduction and looked at Marcellus, he introduced himself as quick as he could. It appeared he also experienced the impatience in Miss Bria's voice and felt he needed to rush into it. He told the power that was given by his spiritguide was telesthesia.
Miss Bria interrupted him. '14 years old, living in Tropea. Telesthesia, also known as remote viewing. It means he has the ability to see a distant or unseen target using extrasensory perception and actually so much more if you'll ever learn how to control your powers,' and she frowned with her eyebrows.
Kendric could see that Marcellus was definitely very happy with his new obtained power and looked like he just couldn't wait to try it out and probably hook it up to his laptop if he could.
Than the girl from the left introduced herself. Her name was Gemma, also 15 years old and came from Ketchikan Alaska. She had orange hair, which didn't really looked orange as it also looked a little bit blond. Her green eyes looked like they would glow in the dark. She had her rope tied tightly around her robe, so that you could see her tummy was being pushed up a bit. A cute face with chubby cheeks while looking very uncomfortable and insecure and blushed because of it. With a nervous voice she told them she had recieved the power of healing.

Miss Bria clapped enthusiastically and said: 'Oh that's wonderfull Gemma, energy medicin is a very usefull skill and your fellow truthseekers will depend greatly on it in the future!' Gemma blushed and was obviously shy.
Then Zuberi got up and introduced himself. Sitting from the ground and looking up at him, he appeared even taller.
'16 years old from Tanzania. I've recieved the gift of divination,' and he stared at the ground.
Miss Bria looked in shock and made an effort to alleviate Zuberi's obviously concerned state of well-being: 'Although you are from Tanzania and it only seems logical you have recieved this gift which is practised a lot on your continent, I am still shocked since you seem like a down to earth guy. It will be a challenge for you to hold power over such a strong gift since you have to change your whole personality for it. But we have to trust our spiritguides, they hold the wisdom of this universe. You've bin given it for a reason. Have faith!'
It was Kendric's turn and he decided to stay put at his comfortable pillow. He didn't liked to be in the center of attention and a bit shy he began to introduce himself: 'I am Kendric, I am from Portree, it lays on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, 15 years old and I don't know...'
Miss Bria pulled her eyebrow up again and it looked like she was going to shoot him down any moment now with her diamant laser eyes: 'What do you mean with you don't know? You may tell them, afterall, you're the leader of the truthseekers! Embrace your destiny!!!'
Kendric felt true pain now, mentally emberassed. He wasn't made for the spotlights at all and didn't even understand why he was appointed leader to the truthseekers.
'Well, they were all activating my chakra's. I know this from the source, I never have given so much thought about chakra's but as soon as they were beaming their different colours of light on to me I knew they were hitting for my chakra's and they were opening them up one by one. All 7 of them. I felt them opening up like flowers sprouting open. Then my grandma appeared as the 8th spiritguide, created a tornado of the beaming colours surrounding us, like we were in the needle of the storm. She spoke to me telepathically and said I was gifted by all the powers that the universe had to offer me.' He blasted it all out in one breath.
The others stared at him with their mouths open and Miss Bria looked very serious and somewhat worried.
'I can't even begin to explain you how hard the task is going to be that had bin placed upon your shoulders. But you wouldn't have received the source its knowledge and all the enlightenment if you couldn't handle it. Just trust on that. You have to work twice as hard as the others to master all your skills. But trust on your teachers and master Uruk that we will support you in every step of the way and help you to achieve your destiny.' She assured him with a friendly smile.
Kendric was lost for words, he felt she was honest and that she ment every word she said but he also had this all knowing feeling that he had to bare everything eventually on his own shoulders and couldn't shake this feeling that he was like Frodo the ring bearer.
They continued with Kenji who told them proudly about his samurai village and family. He was 16 years old and apperently into robotics. He had this peaceful voice and some intelligent way of talking. Kendric didn't want to stereotype anyone but before he even could think it Cahya beat him to the punch.
'So basically what you are saying is that you're a typical Asian whizkid?!!?' She said like a little smartass herself.
They all laughed even Kenji who sat down humbly. He let this shy smile appear on his face which looked a bit painful.
Kendric was deeply impressed and he noticed Kenji's admiring eyes locked on to Cahya.
'Are you?' He asked her with this teasing smile.
'I am, not bragging about it though but I am not going to call myself stupid just for the sake of you liking me more.' Cahya reacted like a little snob. Kenji looked confused. The class was making fun of him after Cahya humiliated him. However Kendric was even more confused.
Did she just knock him out in the first round? Whatever it was, she impressed Kenji.
Kendric had the feeling you needed a very special personality to impress him since so little seemed to do the trick.
'What is your power Kenji?' Miss Bria asked in an attempt to keep the introduction round going.
'Telekineses.' He said humbly again.
Miss Bria nodded at him, it seemed she agreed with this power for Kenji. Maybe because he was into robotics? Kendric honestly didn't know why but it somehow seemed logical to him as well even though he couldn't explain it that Kenji could move objects with his mind. Kenji could easily be Keanu Reeves in the Matrix, so yeah, this power suited him and Kendric had his inside laugh going on in his mind again.
Next to Kenji sat the Russian girl, the brave one who sat down first on the flying silver disc.
'My name is Zasha and I was born in Kazan, Russia.' She spoke up with a very heavy Russian accent.
She had done something with her robe, made it more tight. Her blue eyes were covered with makeup. It seemed appearence was everything for her. She told them she was 16 years old and continued talking about herself and how many friends she had, how populair she was and so on. She was blabbing all over the place and since their classroom was a round sphere it seemed that all her blabbing was going round in circles and was therefor neverending.
Miss Bria interrupted her thankfully: 'Yes, yes and what is your power given by your spirit guide?' She asked her impatiently.
'It is pyrokinesis,' Zasha said with her head up high. She was obviously very glad with her new given power.
Miss Bria pulled up her eyebrow again: 'The one who playes with fire shall recieve it and on that note...'
She looked at the boy sitting next to Zasha.
A tall, big guy got up and he introduced himself with a deep voice. His name was Maynard and he was born and raised in Cologne, Germany. He had long, curly dark brown hair strands and big dark brown eyes surrounded by white skin. He talked very passionately about his hometown and basketball. He put a philosophy out on the spirit guides and the powers and it was obvious that he liked to overthink things. All the girls in class were listening attentively, like they were hanging on every word that was coming out of his mouth. He looked like a typical jog right out of some highschool serie. A bit like jughead from Riverdale but one who could turn into an attractive Damon Salvator vampire any second and Kendric rolled his eyes by this thought. This odd guy, seemed to be a chick magnet with his philosophical gibberish.
He told them he recieved the power "apportation". He could apperently dissapear anytime which he was showing of immediatly and right when he appeared he let the pillow which Kendric was sitting on disappear and reappear a second later right in Kendric's hands. Kendric fell on his butt and felt butthurt about it. And oh how impressed the girls were and all laughing.
How the heck did he already had his power under control?
Kendric was annoyed and impressed at the same time with this guy. He actually seemed very nice when he talked, which annoyed Kendric also. He didn't understand why he pulled this joke on him. If his friends had done this with him he would peed his pants, but this wasn't funny from wonderboy on their first day. Kendric felt ashamed and boiled up his anger.
Suddenly Maynard was hanging upside down with his stupid curly hair strands. Maynard begged Kendric to let him down. Miss Bria looked at Kendric and she waved with her hand at Maynard and got him back down again on his pillow. Kendric was shocked.
Did I do this?
'As you can see, your powers without any control over it can be very dangerous. So I advise you all to keep the jokes out of this school and your emotions under control!!!' She looked at Kendric again with one eyebrow pulled up.
The next in line to introduce herself was an Afro American girl with a Texas accent. Her name was Candace, 15 years old and born in Austin, Texas, USA. She behaved like a trained soldier, the way she stood and talked like she was in command of her imaginary troops. She told them she was a armybread and her dad was some high commander in the US marine corps and she had given levitation as a power. She even floated up a little when she told them about it, only to find out a second later that she wasn't standing on her feet anymore and let out a short cry for help. Miss Bria put her back on the ground by pulling her at her arm.
The last girl was called Lada and she came from Bora Bora, only 14 years old but talked like a psychiatrist. Overly calm and with a patronizing tone in her voice. She was wise beyond her age. A small girl, with brown hair with a golden glow shining over it. Her small brown eyes were standing near to eachother and she had a snub nose. She complained about her short height and to much weight, that she was bullied a lot because of it and actually was happy she didn't have to go to school in her hometown anymore. The power she had recieved was psychometry which ment she obtained information just by touching an object or a person.
Her power grasped Kendric's attention while he imagined using it on Yrsa to find out what she thought about him. Miss Bria frowned while she looked at him.
Than the wormhole opened again.
'Oh it seemes we are summoned, let's go!' and Miss Bria stepped through the wormhole.
