CH.4 MY NEW CLASS
About 30 minutes after that conversation and 5 total eliminations we did together (not counting that music guy because we couldn't find him), the same sharp whistling noise played and the old man announced, <
I can tell you how it went really briefly. So we went after that music note guy that got sent flying down the mountain, but he was already gone, and all the rocks that were on him were broken but not from the outside. It was like they shattered in pieces very carefully, that’s probably his power me and Blaze thought. I picked up the boomerang that I threw towards him, and we headed into the woods. We then found a small group of three kids. Me and Blaze were so coordinated that those kids didn’t even have time to use their powers, when we hit them with everything we had and took their flags. I guess that is because we had the same mentor, who’s name was literally “Hunter” with a hunter Brand.
Our next two opponents were brothers who had similar or even powers that completed each other, they were like yin and yang or something. One of them had a shield and one a sword under their left eye’s. Then they simultaneously both said, “Hey, we are the brothers that are going to kick your butts. I have powers to create shields from particles of light, and he has power to create swords from the darkness itself.” They were both fourteen by the looks of them, that’s why they felt too confident that they even told us their powers, which was actually a huge deal, because now we knew that we should split them from each other. Me and Blaze turned to each other and I burst out laughing, Blaze only smiled at me. I replied to them, “You guys just told us your powers, you dummies, HAHAHAHAHAHA!” They both looked at themselves and said, “Oh, Sh*t.” Right after me and Blaze sprinted towards them. I attacked the one with the sword mark with my small blade, because I couldn’t find enough steel for a sword, but I think this will be enough to take him. Blaze took the one with the shield Brand. The shield guy immediately created a shield to block Blaze’s fire punch. Me and the other kid clashed our blades and our sword fight began. I dominated the kid in our fight, but he wasn’t bad either. While Blaze flew up not too high so that the tall trees could hide him and started blasting the shield guy with heat blasts. We cornered these kids, but things got serious when the shield guy created a second shield and gave it to his brother with a sword, the other guy did the same but with his dark sword. So they both now had a shield and a sword. Me and Blaze immediately stopped playing around and got serious. The boy’s attacked me, they knew that they had more chance of winning by teaming up, I blocked both their attacks with my blade and jumped back, but they kept on attacking. Sparkles from the blades clashing were so bright that I became blind for a second. One of the teens used this opportunity and attacked me with his shield, right into my left shoulder. I flew a few feet and hit a tree with my back. The second boy continued the combo and tried to slash me with his sword, but Blaze interrupted them with a huge fireball, and a massive explosion happened. I rubbed my eyes and went to check the boys. They were both ok, but unconscious. Me and Blaze felt bad for them, but we thought that it was too dangerous for them to be in this school yet, they were only fourteen, well me and Blaze were only fifteen, but in the teenage world it’s a huge difference. So me and Blaze took their flags and woke them up. When we were convinced that they were fine, we immediately went deeper into the woods leaving the kids there, because that explosion definitely could have drawn someone’s attention, and we didn’t need that kind of problem after almost getting beaten up by kids. Basically that’s how it went.
All the other kids were already up on the stage near the entrance. “Now let me announce the 10 kids to everyone so we can all get home.” “Oh yeah of course.” I replied after what me and Blaze climbed up on stage. “The 10 Brand users who passed the exam will be joining as the first students emitted to “Brand Tech” are: Sage Lopez, Ashley Lee, Blaze Stoll, Anthony Smith, Joshua Ledger, Isaiah Blade, Robert Gray, Blossom Levine, Shade Wixx, and Kane Finch.” Now you kids head home and I will see the 10 of you on the 21st of august. "The bus ride home was just as quiet as the one there, and the summer was a blur so before I knew it was august. I got Blaze’s number, so we texted a lot over the summer, we became pretty good friends, and I finally turned 15. I made my way to the school. The campus was absolutely massive, it had a huge middle courtyard area which would be used for sparing/P.E there were at least 10 big buildings and even a larger one in the back. Mostly the color scheme of the school was bright blue and orange.
When I made it to the place where everyone was. This school only had 10 students and like 5 teachers not counting the principal as far as I know, I sat down next to blaze and we exchanged waves over summer break. I had pretty much mastered sign language so I could now understand him nearly perfectly. “The old mans gonna introduce us to our teachers and show us around campus.” he signed. “Ok.” I replied. The old man started “Hello you 10 I don't think I have properly introduced myself I am Jonathan Adler and I am the principal at this high school” “I founded this school because I remember when I was a child, as a Brand user I had no one to guide me how to use my gifts for good. That’s why I created this new school, so that the new generation won’t have the same problems I once did, and eventually I can guarantee each one of you will find your purpose in this world, either that is a regular job or you guys becoming heroes that use their powers for serving good. But enough about me.” he said “You should meet the teachers." Hunter, a shorter woman with icicles under her left eye and a bulky man with a stone symbol under his left eye walked onto stage. “These are the teachers,” said Jonathan. “Now they will introduce themselves.” Jonathan then handed the mic to Hunter. “HELLO MY WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL STUDENTS!” shouted the hunter. “You already probably know me, but to the people who don't know me, my name is Hunter and my code name is also Hunter,” he said. “I will be the main person teaching the Brand usage course and teaching how to better utilize your Brand in creative and efficient ways.” “SO LET'S HAVE A GREAT YEAR.” he concluded.

Hunter handed the mic to the short woman, “My name is Anya Snow, and my code name is Winter warrior.” said Anya “I will be in charge of your academics. Math, sciences, history, the basics.” “So I wish you all to have a great year too!” She said pumping her fist up as she passed the mic to the bulky dude. “Hello, my name is Cole Becket and my code name is golem.” said the man. “ I will be in charge of your combat training and physical education.” he concluded and then passed the mic to Jonathan again. “That should be all the introductions because the school nurse and mechanic could not make it today so you all should head to the dorm rooms and get settled.” Jonathan said. As the kids walked to the dorms me and Blaze started talking. “Do you know anything about these other kids?” I said to Blaze. “Not really,” he signed back, “but I know they're strong. I think they're gonna announce the dorm roommates now.” “OK EVERYONE!” said Cole. “The pairings for the dorms will be Kane Finch and Joshua Ledger, Sage Lopez and Blossom Levine, Blaze Stoll and Isaiah Blade, Robert Gray and Shade Wixx and finally, Ashley Lee and Anthony Smith.” “Nice.” I signed to Blaze and he looked back at me happily. “WAIT A MINUTE I'M WITH A GIRL!?” Said a squeaky male voice in the background. Everyone turned around to look at the person and it was a latino kid with a music note under his left eye (Anthony). “YEAH, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME!?” Yelled back a shorter asian girl with short black hair and a small jester hat symbol under her left eye (Ashley). “No it’s not with you, it's just that,” said Anthony. “It's just what, huh?” Interrupted Ashley sassily. “We’re roommates now and you're gonna like it OK?”, “Ok.” replied Anthony defeatedly. “Well now that that's settled you guys will have until about 3 o'clock to socialize with your roommate and check the campus. See you at 3 in the main combat facility” said Cole who left right after.
Me and Blaze unpacked my pc and our clothes and got our beds set up. From there we talked for about an hour on how great we were on the exam. Soon it was 3 o’clock. The 10 of us piled before the entrance to the combat facility. The combat facility was not that big, probably half the size of our campus. Hunter, Anya and Cole were standing at the front of the building. “Ok,” he started, “This is the main combat facility and this is where I teach you my stuff.” We all entered the facility, “As you can see there are a ton of weapons, armors and training dummies that you can use to improve your combat ability. A big gym with a pool and a back entrance to a huge training field. But the main part of this facility is this elevator!” We all entered the huge silver elevator the size of a big truck all confused. We all went down for like 10 floors and then the elevator doors were finally open. All our jaws dropped to the floor. We saw a huge white arena that had some strange floating black and white cubes around all edges of the square platform approximately half the size of the whole school . In the center here is where all of the main fighting will happen while in the combat facility. The best part about all this is the 3D arena. Here we have the most advanced 3d virtual reality technologies. Our special arena can create any biome, place or even a planet to battle and the best part is that it’s almost as real as a real…um, almost as real as real life, yeah. You just have to wear these gloves and stick these things to your shoes.”
“Up in the stands behind the blue glass full height window I'm sure most of you can see Jonathan.” whispered Hunter “Well he's up there talking with investors who are a big deal in the Brand association. They are curious about the combat capabilities of the new generation we are trying to bring up. So we are going to hold a sort of team exhibition match between 2 teams of 3. Try to put on a good show of your abilities ok?” Said Hunter with a little smile on his face. “ALRIGHT EVERYONE I SEE WE HAVE QUITE AN AUDIENCE HERE!” Shouted hunter grabbing the attention from the higher ups. “SO HOW ABOUT WE PUT ON A SHOW FOR THEM WITH 3V3 TEAM MATCHES! OK, FOR TEAM ONE WERE GONNA HAVE BLOSSOM LEVINE, BLAZE STOLL, AND ISAIAH BLADE! FOR TEAM TWO HOW ABOUT um…” Hunter slowly looks around the remaining kids, while Anya looks at him with a “WTF” face. “How about ANTHONY SMITH, KANE FINCH, AND ASHLEY LEE." Me and Blaze headed to the stand with that blossom girl behind us. Neither of us had any idea what she could do but it was sure to be interesting. Hunter handed us a small bracket showing us who would fight who and he also handed me a metal pole. And blossom a backpack with a small cherry sapling “Good luck kids, oh and take these gloves and these stickers for your shoes, remember the arena is special.” Said Hunter who then left.
