Jacob and Nathan left for the orientation along with the dozen other male students in their building, the school only having around 100 students of each gender. Each gender has its own " Dorm" on opposite sides of the main school building. the layout of the school was simple it was the main building which was at the entrance and housed most of the classes and the dorms. Other than that, there were two other buildings the first was used to house animals and classes corresponding to them this being the largest building. The second building was the inside arena where basic physical training was performed and where in a normal school empowered students would train their Fuse. the last major landmark was the stadium which was surrounded by a running track and then there were seats surrounding the stadium. At the entrance of the school, there was a statue of the emperor.

Jacob and Nathan arrived at the stadium where the orientation was happening and they decided to try and sit nearest to the podium, which was difficult considering they were average in height and strength, so they were pushed back to the middle of the seats. In about an hour, all the students were seated, and the speech started.

The dean appeared on top of the stands where he was watching the students with scornful eyes having hated the fact, he had to manage a school filled with disowned scum. He then jumped into the podium amazing the students much to his disgust. The dean was a short man around 5 feet tall, but he had a beard that reached almost his legs with a healthy head of hair to match. Different from his height he had well-developed muscles specifically those in his legs. "Welcome students to the Empirium school for disowned," he said infusing his voice.

" Before we begin, I will explain a few things so take notes because this can be considered your first lesson."

Jacob took one of the notebooks and pencils he was handed at the entrance of the stadium along with all the other students and started paying attention to the Dean.

" As you may all know you are considered Disowned but what does that mean? Well, first I need to explain that the gods are real, and they are the basis for our strength, while Fuse exists in the air around us only those that can control it can be considered sapient species. Some Humans are born with the ability to control it. This is the difference between Blessed and disowned."

" The blessed are naturally more talented than all of you but through the effort of humankind, we have developed a way to help you control Fuse. The emperor has graced you with the right to go through this expensive procedure for free."

Everyone in the stands gasped at this as normally it is a procedure that would cost enough to bankrupt even semi-wealthy families. Jacob was delighted at hearing this; he could finally become someone and hopefully leave the slums where he grew up. He could finally protect himself and maybe even have the strength to avenge his family and Nosirin.

" Now the procedures will begin today so I recommend you walk around the school and explore maybe make some friends or whatever before heading there."

the speech lasted another hour with basic knowledge concerning the schedule and rules but after it was all done all the students headed for their dorms to prepare mentally for their "awakening".

Jacob and Nathan were heading to their room when they were stopped by Jack an older kid who happened to belong to the only gang run by disowned. He was blocking their way.

" Hey if it isn't Jacob, long time no see," he said.

"You are right last time we met you were on the ground begging for mercy, right Jack," said Jacob.

Jack scoffed at Jacob's remark, and he started approaching Jacob in order to punch him.

"Let us see if the result is still the same Jacob," he said.

As Jack approached Jacob, Nosirin came out of jacks clothing and bit at him.

" Tch, I see you still have that fried insect with you" Jack then pulled a knife and attempted to stab at Nosirin

Before Jack could do anything, a teacher appeared and lifted him by the neck.

" No fighting permitted inside of the buildings, if you're going to fight take it outside you scum" he then threw Jack to the ground and told all the students to leave.

Jacob and Nathan then went to their rooms and spent a while speaking about the upcoming awakening.

When it was finally time to go all the students ran to the gymnasium to be the first to be awakened. Jacob and Nathan managed to get there for the first batch of students to go inside. The instructors gave them a block of pure Fuse and told them to sit down and when they were ready, they should drink one of the serums next to them and then break the block on top of them.

Jacob was so excited that when he sat down, he instantly drank the serum and broke the cube. The next half an hour was extreme pain which felt as if someone skinned him alive then tore out his nerves and replaced them as roughly as possible. While this was happening the teacher in charge smiled as he saw the students in pain while still checking that they were all doing okay.

Once Jacob was done, he opened his eyes and looked around as if looking at an entirely new world everything being extremely clear now. He went to touch his face realizing that while the scars had semi-disappeared, they were still there to an obvious extent. He also realized he could now hear countless voices that should have not been there.

"What are all these voices" screamed Jacob internally.

While there were multiple voices all speaking at once Jacob could tell they were saying something

"Welcome to the Entomancer System"
