~Coral Coast College~

~Claus POV~

I made my way to the classroom.

My first lesson was History.

~Boom!

Hmm.

I turned around and looked to the side where I heard a small explosion, I just made my way to the first floor, my classroom was located on the west side of the first floor.

On my side, two metallic doors were located just a few meters away from the elevator.

I walked and stood before the door and released my qi to see what was causing this sound.

"They are fighting?" I mumbled as I watched the people inside the room fight each other in group's wearing clothes that represented each group.

~RIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG!

The college bell rang and I turned my attention away from the people 'I am going to be late.' I thought as I vanished from where I was standing.

Like the wind, I moved through the hall and arrived at my classroom before the bell even stopped ringing.

I followed the people who were going inside the room and followed them.

The classroom seemed to be ever ordinary as it looked like more of a lecture room with chairs and desk's at the back with the teacher's table and board at the front.

"Everyone, take a seat the lesson is about to start." A middle-aged man said as he put on his glasses and went to the board.

Looking at the students they all didn't make a single noise and made their way towards their seat and sat down, I also found an empty seat at the back and took it.

"First things first, I know that many of you don't know why you were enrolled in this college despite what you wanted to do and I know that some of you already know the answer to this. But let's clarify something, the things you will be learning in this college will perhaps open your eyes or it might shatter the concept of reality in your head, either way, this class was made to tell you the true history of this world." The mad said as he wrote two words on the board 'Dylan Hauet'.

"My name is Dylan Hauet and I am going to be your teacher for the rest of the year, teaching you history." He said as he moved from the board and looked at us.

"The first thing we are going to learn about is the 'True World'. Over four hundred thousand years ago humans found things that were left behind by ancient societies who used to live in this world before us. At first, humans didn't know what these things were or how to use them at all so they put them away, over time people forgot about the teachings left behind. It was not until 400 years ago that we found these teachings again.

After we got the teachings back we found a way to break them down, to understand them, after we finally managed to understand the teachings we found out that we were not the first intellectual beings on this planet." The man said as he took a break to get back his breath but someone raised their hand and the man pointed at them.

"I don't understand, if what you are saying is true how come no one knows about it? This is the first time I have heard such things." A girl asked and the man smiled "An excellent question, I was just getting to that.' The man said.

"The reason why no one else knows about this is because only 20% of the people on earth knows of this and most of them are the people in charge of countries and so on. After we broke down the teachings we found many other things that could if expose put this world into chaos. So to keep it hidden and also keep the people safe from chaos only a small percentage of the world is allowed to know." The man said and the girl raised her hand once more.

"Are you saying that there is a hidden society?" The girl asked and the middle-aged man nodded.

"That's right, and this hidden society is called the 'True World'. And just like your parents or your relatives you are also part of this society now." The teacher said and by looking at the students in the room you could see that many of them didn't understand what this guy was talking about.

I frowned as I listened to this man 'I already suspected a hidden society but never would I have guessed that there would have been other beings who have lived in this world, what if there are some still remaining from these beings, how long has it been since their remains were found? What kind of power would they have to hide until now?' As the man kept on talking many thoughts went through my head.

Before I knew it the lesson was over, everyone was told to have a small break before our next lesson.

"Hey you!" The moment I stepped out of the classroom I was greeted by 3 people, one was fat while the other two were average in size as well as looks.

I looked to my sides and found no one else there so I pointed at myself "Yes you!" the one in front yelled in anger  "Come with us, the young master wants to see you." He said and I frowned.

Are you ordering this brother? 

"If your young master wants to see me let him come to me why would I go to him?" I said as I looked away and walked down the corridor.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless." The kid said as he threw a punch covered with qi towards me, at first I was startled at how he managed to release qi but I almost died out of laughter after I saw how weak it was.

I stopped and looked at the incoming punch and let it hit my face.

~Bang!

"AAAAARRGG!" The kid said as he covered his broken hand and screamed in pain, the other two were shocked and I just looked at him "What wrong with you? Did you hurt yourself want me to call your mom?" I teased as I walked away.

"Did you see that?" The white-haired old man said to the woman next to him and she nodded.

"The young master is incredible indeed, although that punch was weak it definitely had qi, that you should have hurt him but he didn't even flinch." The old man said and the woman looked at the old man who acted like a little child.

"Why are we spying on him again?" She asked him and he put his hand around her "You are still young my daughter, In order to establish a good relationship with a monster like him we need to find things he like and in order to do that we need to spy on him." He said and the woman just shook her head and looked at her father with shame before leaving the room.

The moment she left the man's childlike eyes turned serious and he frowned as he looked at the video again. 

"A monster indeed." He mumbled before he turned off the screen and the PC he was watching the video on vanished and the room was empty again.

~Claus POV~

The day is already over, I didn't know that my other lessons would be so ordinary 'And here I thought I would listen to something interesting.' I thought.

Sigh

 I made my way out of college and stood in front of the college looking at everyone else who were picked up by someone and I remembered that Alec would not pick me up today.

'At least it's not raining.' I thought and suddenly rain started to fall little by little first then increased.

"What a wonderful day." I Thought as I used my qi as an umbrella.

Not a single drop of the rain touched me as I walked out of the college and made my way towards the train station.

"Excuse me." I heard a familiar voice from behind me and turned around and I saw a girl with short blond hair and blue eyes looking at me, she was about 168 cm in height and she had above the average looks.

She was the girl who sat next to me in class today, she was also the one asked the teacher question. As she got closer I didn't use my qi as an umbrella anymore and let the rain fall on me, this caused me to let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you also heading towards the train station?" She asked and I nodded.

She smiled "Want to go together? You don't seem to have an umbrella why not share?" She asked, "Why not?" I replied.

"That's great, I am named Nina, Nina Weber and you?" She asked as he took out her hand for me to shake, I shook it " I am Claus, Claus Lance it's nice to meet you, Nina." I said "Likewise." She said and let go of my hand.

"So how did you end up at this college?" She asked me "My uncle asked me to study here before he died, what about you?" I asked and she looked down.

"My dad died when I was little and stated in his will that my brother and I should both study here, my brother instead wanted to become a detective to find out how my dad died so he didn't bother coming here. Since my father wanted us to study here I came here." She said.

"I am sorry, I didn't know," I said and she shook her head "It's fine, it's been a long time already and I was too little to remember anyway." 

"Let's hurry, the train will be here soon." She said and I nodded.

...............................................

Behind Claus and Nina, there were two people walking in the shadows with each step they took they moved 4 meters, these two shadows seemed carefree as they didn't rush or run as they walked leisurely behind Claus and Nina.

They followed them all the way to the train station.

Once they got there Claus told Nina that there was something he had to take care of and said his goodbye and left the train station, this confused the two shadows but they followed him never the less.

After he left he turned to a corner of the street and when these two shadows moved to the corner they found nothing, there were not a single trace left behind by Claus.

"Where did he go?" One of the shadows asked and the other shook his head " I don't know, but let's hurry and find him, there is no way that he would just disappear like that.' The other shadow said.

"Looking for me?"
