Alright Guys, I am back. Sorry for the long wait, not having the internet makes things very difficult. Before we get started I want to apologize in advance since I had to cut the trials from this chapter in order to upload it. The trials will now consist of the next two chapters. Also, if anyone knows someone who is good at designing or drawing, I am looking for someone to make a picture of Emerald. If you have anyone in mind or have a design yourself, PM me and I will give you an email to send it to so I can see it. If I get one that I like, It will become my new profile picture. Now without further ado, the next installment of Digi Academy.
"For the love of God… and all that is Holy, someone stop this thing."
Yeah, that is me screaming for help at nine at night, while being dragged through a forest by a wild Boarmon.
You ever have one of those days? You know, where you are just meditating and training, minding your own business when a giant fucking boar goes running past you, wrapping your leg in a vine stuck around its tusk.
I am pretty sure it has been an hour since that Boarmon started dragging me like a rag doll. I was on the verge of passing out when an idea hit me.
I grabbed one of my weapons and activated it. I then proceeded to cut the vine wrapped around my ankle. I continued to slide for another ten feet or so before coming to a complete stop.
"Why the hell didn't I think of doing that forty five minutes ago?" I yelled as I watched the Boarmon just continue running away, disappearing into the dense forest.
"Holy shit Emerald are you okay," Seth called out to me as he caught back up. What happened was that Seth had been out training and fighting wild males at night and one of his targets, the Boarmon, ran away.
They had been close enough to where I had been meditating so he caught sight of me being dragged off by the fleeing Digimon.
"Yeah, I am fine, just really sore," I replied as I got up. Lucky for me I had taken my human form before meditating otherwise he probably would have thought that I was just another feral male.
I wasn't too concerned about my ears and tails since he had already seen them. I looked down at myself and realized that my clothes were in shreds from the dragging.
I tried to walk and almost collapsed, with Seth catching me before I could fall.
"Thanks, do you think you could help me back to my home? I feel like I will only wake up in a gutter if I try to make it alone," I asked, swallowing my pride.
Seth replied by throwing my arm over his shoulder and supporting me as we made our way back to the town outskirts.
Seth offered to teleport us, but I felt like it would be a bad Idea with me in the condition that I was in. I was really grateful for the healing rate my body now had as a hybrid. I could feel most of the smaller cuts sealing already as the larger bruises stopped hurting and faded away.
After several minutes of limping we were into the red light district of the city. By this point, I was feeling a lot better and didn't need support to walk anymore, though I was still pretty slow.
"Thanks Seth for helping me get this far, I think I will be fine from here," I told him
"Alright, if you are sure. My apartment is over there," He said pointing to a very dilapidated apartment complex, "just in case you ever get into a similar situation."
I nodded my head and we both went our separate ways. I walked in the direction of the restaurant district where the house was.
I pulled up my screen and tried the phone function. Cindy had explained all the functions of the nanites, and I had figured out how to work all of the other functions, but I had yet to try the phone.
Cindy had told me that all I had to do was state the name of the person that I wanted to call and it would call them.
"Call Kageko," I said and immediately I heard a ringing in my head. I started to freak out at first until I remembered the call worked using brain waves.
"He… Hello," I heard Kageko answer bashfully; knowing that she was unsure of what she was doing as well.
"Hello Kageko, it is Emerald. I got a bit… dirty while I was out. Do you think you could get a hot bath running in my room? I feel like soaking in the tub rather than using the shower. If you don't know which room it is then you can ask Tia and she should be able to help. I should be home in about five minutes."
"Alright, I can do that," the lupine princess said in a very excited voice.
"Also one more thing, could you take the leftovers from dinner and split them into five equal parts and then store them in the freezer?" I asked her. She agreed after several seconds.
We both ended the call and I continued walking for another eight minutes before finally reaching the door. I reached into my pocket, or what was left of it, only to remember that I had not grabbed my key before leaving.
I sighed and knocked on the door and immediately heard two sets of steps running down the stairs and to the door.
The door flew open and both Tia and Kageko were standing there with huge smiles on their faces. Those smiles turned to gasps when the girls noticed the cuts and bruises that had not healed yet as well as my torn clothes.
Before I could even say hello, both girls grabbed me and rushed me to my bathroom. Before I knew it I had been stripped down to nothing and thrown into the tub.
Both girls where now sitting next to the very bubbly tub and looking at me with concern. I tried to explain to them that I was fine, but they were not having it as they tried to wash me.
I finally gave in on the condition that I am aloud to wash anything below my waist. Both girls agreed and before I could stop them, they both started to strip.
My jaw just dropped before I started to freak out and move to the other end of the very large tub.
"Why are you stripping," I said as I tried to cover my eyes. Both girls just giggled as they both crawled into the tub with me.
"Well we wouldn't want to get our clothes wet," Tia giggled.
"And you are my betrothed," Kageko said as if it was only natural to be doing this when we have known each other for all of only a few days.
Once again, I just sighed in defeat and let them do as they pleased. I would have been more worried about the two of them seeing me naked, but they had stripped me so it seemed moot at this point.
The girls were very thorough in cleaning my wounds, with the both of them licking them to disinfect them and then gently scrubbing me down.
The girls then started to clean my tails and I cringed at having someone else touch them. For some reason they were very sensitive to the touch of others.
"Wow Emerald, the fur of your tails is surprisingly silky," both girls complimented.
"Thank you, I brushed them very thoroughly yesterday," I said, quite proud of the job that I had done.
The girls finished with my tails and I relaxed. They then proceed to bath themselves since they were in already. I used this time to clean the rest of myself.
"That reminds me, where is Isis? I would have thought that she would be breaking the door down to get in here right now." I questioned.
The girls looked at each other and then giggled before Kageko replied.
"After you left and she finished eating, she went into your room and was going to lay claim to it," she started when Tia jumped in.
"So since no one, including Cindy, felt that you should share a room alone with her, we knocked her out and put her into the room that had not been taken. I also decided that I would be fine with sharing you."
I was glad to hear that. I reached over gave both of their heads a rub. Both girls immediately leaned into it with Tia mewling and purring while Kageko's tail was waving like mad, sending water and suds flying everywhere.
As soon as I stopped, both started to whimper and got really close to me. Much closer than I felt comfortable with in this situation.
"Girls you are a bit too close," I said. In response, both girls gave me what is probably comparable to the cutest puppy dog eyes I had ever seen. I couldn't resist.
"Alright no need for that look."
Both girls immediately leaned their backs up against my stomach and rested their heads on my shoulders as I continued to rub their heads.
Words, quite literally, cannot describe how embarrassed I felt having to very hot girls leaning on me while we are all naked. It took every last ounce of will power to not get a boner. After I couldn't take much more I coughed up a large amount of blood.
I had already explained to everyone about my little condition, so they didn't mind so much. They got off of me and got out to dry off while I washed away the blood and emptied the tub.
Kageko then walked up to me and handed me a towel. After we all had dried off and I finally managed to get my clothes to morph into a pair of shorts to sleep in, I had grabbed the brush I use for my tails and both girls came up to me wearing their own sleepwear.
Both girls were wearing some very sexy lingerie. Tia was wearing a pink bra with a see through pink veil hanging from it with fuzz lining the bottom of the veil and a pink lacy bottom while Kageko was wearing a purple version of the same design.
They both had a look like they wanted to ask me something but where too embarrassed to come out and say it.
This confused me seeing as how they just laid against me completely naked only moments before and didn't seem to have an embarrassment problem then.
"What is up, you two look like you want to ask me something," I asked the two as they shared a look.
"Before we ask you, why don't you let us brush your tails for you," Tia said with a plotting look in her eye while Kageko took the brush from my hand.
Knowing that saying no would get me nowhere, I just shrugged my shoulders and walked over to my hammock and sat down with my tails now covering my lap.
I patted the spots next to me and the girls quickly ran over to get started. I very quickly came to regret my decision.
It feels amazing when I brush my tails myself, but as soon as the two of them started brushing them, I felt a level of pleasure far beyond anything I had ever felt before.
Immediately I fell back with my tongue hanging from my mouth and my eyes rolling up into my head. I could also feel myself becoming extremely aroused.
I used the tail that wasn't being brushed to hide it, hoping they wouldn't notice.
They continued to brush my tails and I was starting to lose myself in the feeling. Suddenly, out of pure instinct, I sat straight up and dug my teeth into the side of Kageko's neck.
At first she was surprised, but quickly stopped brushing and placed her hand on the back of my head. I came back to my senses and quickly realized what I had done.
I released Kageko and quickly started to apologize as I licked the wound in a similar fashion to what they had done for me.
She suddenly leaped at me and gave me a huge hug as she started to yip happily. I was really confused until Tia explained.
"You don't need to apologize, Emerald. In fact I am sure she is very happy about what you just did. You just marked her as your mate."
As soon as Tia finished explaining, the mark from my bite turned into the same shape as the pattern on my hands. As soon as it finished, it disappeared. Kageko then dug her teeth into my neck.
I was about to try to pull away, but she then released me and gently licked at the wound. In the spot where she bit, the picture of a crescent moon and sun appeared and then disappeared.
I put my hand up to the spot on my neck as Kageko started smiling and nuzzling into my neck again while holding onto my arm.
"What do you mean, and why did the markings on my hand appear on her neck for a couple of seconds." I started to question completely unaware of what she had been talking about.
"What it means," Tia told me, "is that she now bares your mark as one of your mates. It is proof that she has bonded with you, body and soul. The mark will appear whenever she is thinking strongly about you."
"Okay, I guess I can understand that, but why did I bite her in the first place and why did she bite back."
"When you were feeling good, it triggered your instinct to lay claim to her. The bite causes your data to enter her body producing the mark and her biting back is her way of showing she accepts. That is how the process works in the Digital world."
I looked away from Tia and down at Kageko who was now off in her own world now as she leaned into my side with her eyes closed.
"That reminds me," I said as I turned back to Tia. "What was it that you wanted to ask me?"
"Oh… about that," Tia tried to say as she now became very embarrassed once again.
Then Kageko snapped out of her daze, "We wanted to ask if we could sleep in the hammock with you from now on."
Both Tia and I grew very embarrassed as the bold wolf finished her question as if she just asked for a glass of water.
"Ugh, uhm, I guess you can sleep with me tonight but I think every night might be a bit much to ask," I managed to say through my embarrassment.
I had wanted to say no, but I could see that there was no lust behind their actions. I sighed as they stood up and I rolled into the center of the hammock.
Both girls took my sides and crawled onto the hammock. As soon as they were on, I raised the Hammock while they cuddled into my sides with their heads on my shoulder, their hands resting on my chest, and their tails intertwining with two of mine.
I flipped off the light and rested my hands under my head. Tia fell asleep quickly and started breathing very lightly, but I felt Kageko's hand move to the ring on my neck.
"I have been meaning to ask this of you," She started out, sounding a bit hesitant. "You are a Lycoanmon, and yet you have Holy Rings and three tails, why?"
This caught my attention because from what I knew about Digimon, all Digimon of the same species were the same.
"To be honest, I don't know. I just assumed that all Lycoanmon were like that." I felt her shake her head no at my comment.
"I have read many books in the Imperial Kingdom that mention Lycoanmon, and not one mentions a Lycoanmon with holy rings or multiple tails. Even I had only one tail and no ring back when I used to be one myself.
Pondering this strange phenomenon, we both fell into a deep sleep, with her thinking about my condition while I was starting to look forward to going all out without reserve during the trials tomorrow.
*Four hours later*
As per the usual, I woke up four hours later. Having completely forgotten the events of the night before, I was quite surprised to find a cat and a wolf holding onto me in their sleep.
I completely forgot that those two asked me if they could share the hammock with me. I thought to myself as I lowered the hammock.
I made sure not to wake the girls as I moved into the shadows to get out of the hammock. Once I was out, I shifted back into the normal realm.
The girls immediately started to whimper and reach out in their sleep. I grabbed pillows from the bed and placed them by their arms.
Tia immediately latched onto the pillow and smiled in her sleep, but Kageko continued to reach out even after touching the pillow.
Eventually she took the pillow to her chest, but she did not have the same happy expression that was now plastered on Tia's slumbering face.
Seeing the two were once more comfortable, I walked over to the window, thankful for the night vision.
I opened the window and crawled out. I closed the window behind me with one of my tails as I crawled up onto the roof.
I sat down and dangled one leg over the roof and pulled one leg to my chest. I looked up into the sky to see a perfectly full moon.
I sighed contently as I felt the calm breeze move my snow white hair. I closed my eyes and listened to the late night, early morning sounds.
As I opened my eyes, I began to sing. I sang in a soft tone so as not to wake anyone. I just allowed myself to get lost in the song as I let the rest of the world slip away.
All I needs a little love in my life
All I needs a little love in the dark
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart
I need a little loving tonight
Hold me so I'm not falling apart
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart
Shot gun, aimed at my heart, you got one
Tear me apart and then some
How do we call this love?
I try to run but your eyes
Tell me to stay oh why-y
Why do we call this love?
It seems like we've been losing control
Somebody tell me I'm not alone
When I say
As I started into the chorus, I did not notice that Kageko's aura disappeared without warning. I was still completely oblivious to the world around me.
I got ready to start into the next verse when suddenly I felt two arms drape themselves over my shoulders.
Out of reflex, I grabbed one of the arms and twisted around to put the owner of the arm into a lock. Immediately after I finished I realized that I recognized the black furred arm in my grasp.
"I am so sorry Kageko, I was in my own little world and I did not realize it was you," I apologized as I released her arm.
"It is fine; I should have alerted you to my presence before doing that. I can understand your reaction. From what I have been told, men are not very well received in this world compared to the digital world."
She turned to me and smiled. She then proceeded to bring me into a hug as she rubbed her cheek against mine very affectionately.
I returned the hug, which made her happy. "Your singing was very nice by the way, why don't you keep singing?"
"Thanks for the complement, but my singing sucks. That is why I only sing for myself and no one else. The only time that isn't true is when my sadistic side comes out in a fight and you don't want to be the one hearing me sing when that happens."
She seemed hurt by my comment but I was not going to budge on the matter. I have always disliked my singing voice, but I still enjoy singing. This was actually the first time that I know of where someone else had heard me singing.
I put my other leg down and allowed them both to hang over the edge of the roof. Seeing that I was not going to start singing, Kageko elected to move herself into my lap and cuddle into my chest instead.
Normally I would have been uncomfortable with this, but now I didn't mind so much. I rested my head on top of hers and just closed my eyes.
"Why is it that when you were singing that song, you sounded so sad and heartbroken," Kageko asked me.
I did not expect that question, so I took a moment to think about it. I had not even realized that I had been putting so much feeling into the song.
"I guess… it is because the song resonates with me." I replied. I had expected her to ask me to elaborate, but all I heard was her light breathing, signaling that she was asleep once more.
I am not sure why, but I suddenly got the urge to use my aura vision. I expanded my field as big as it would go.
After hours of meditation, before being dragged through hell, I had expanded my vision to around three quarters of the radius of the city. As I observed the city, I noticed that there was an extremely agitated aura heading in this direction.
I had a bad feeling about that aura, but I did not want to alarm the now sleeping Kageko just yet. I created a shroud of shadows around us to keep us hidden from sight and continued to observe the character.
Eventually I could see a cloaked figure jumping from roof to roof and heading right for our building. It was at this point that I shifted Kageko into the shadow realm and laid her out on the roof.
I returned into the normal realm just as the figure jumped down from the roof of the building across the street from us to street level.
I removed one of my weapons and made it take the form of a kunai knife. I crawled to the edge of the roof and looked down.
What I saw was the cloaked figure messing with the handle to the door. I could see their aura and realized that they had negative intentions for trying to get in.
As the figure got ready to break the glass on the door, I proceeded to launch myself at the figure from the roof. I immediately pinned it down and put the knife to its throat.
"Who are you and why are you trying to enter my territory?" I growled at the figure that was now struggling to break free of my grasp.
To keep the figure still, I used my shadow to bind the person to the ground and keep them from moving. They finally realized that struggling was pointless and decided to talk.
"So the rumors are true, you are one of those filthy half breeds." The figure said in a feminine voice, which surprised me.
"By half breed I assume you mean that I am a hybrid. If that is the case then yes it is true. That still doesn't explain why you are trying to break into my home." I stated in a, now, bored tone with very little true care.
"I came to rid the city of your filthy existence you male scum," She spat at me.
"Well, that was easier than I thought it would be," I said not expecting a straight answer so quickly. "How do you plan on doing that exactly?"
"I was going to kill you in your sleep."
"Just me, not the girls?"
"Yes, then I was going to go back to my tamer and inform her of my success and she was going to try and tame Isis and the princess for herself… and I was not supposed to tell you that"
"You suck at keeping secrets, don't you?"
After our very informative but brief conversation, I pulled the knife from her throat and got off of her. I also released my shadow's hold on her.
This seemed to confuse the girl greatly because she continued to just lay there with her face still hidden but her head tilted in a manner that let me know she was looking at me.
"You… you're just letting me go, even after I told you I was trying to kill you."
"Yeah pretty much," I replied as I returned the knife to my wrist.
"Why," she asked me, voice laced with pure confusion.
"Well first off, you are no threat to me from what I can sense. Second, both Isis and Kageko heard every word you just said and are furious," I said pointing out the kitsune who had been eavesdropping behind me and the wolf princess hiding in the shadows to my right.
By this point both girls heard everything about the attempted murder and were seething with rage over the attempt on my life.
The cloaked girl was now radiating fear as the two canines began to bare their fangs at the now quaking girl.
"Now, now you two calm yourselves. As for you," I said directing my comment from the two girls now standing next to me to the one shaking on her feet in front, "I will make you a deal. Nothing I say or do will stop these two from hunting you down and torturing you."
I paused for a brief moment to emphasize my point as the two girls started baring their fangs once more.
I then continued, "What I can do for you is give you a head start. I will keep both girls here for five minutes. After that, I can't guarantee your safety."
"Really," she squeaked out with some sense of hope.
"I give you my word. They won't take one step until your five minutes is up." I assured the girl.
She immediately turned tail and jumped on the nearest building and started running. As soon as she ran, both Isis and Kageko got ready to spring.
Neither girl had managed to move an inch though, much to both of their surprise. What they did not realize right away was that my shadow was wrapped around them keeping them in place. Kageko was the first to notice though due to her own abilities.
"Emerald, why are you stopping us from tearing that bitch apart," she snarled at me. This took me by surprise since I had never heard her speak in such a manner before, especially towards me.
"I gave her my word and my word is my bond. I told her you wouldn't move till five minutes is up and I meant it." I said, firmly holding both of the struggling girls in place.
"But…" Isis tried to say before I put my hand up to silence her.
"She still has four minutes." I said firmly to the now calmed but exasperated girls. I waited until the full five minutes was up before releasing my shadow.
As soon as she was free, Isis took off in the direction that the girl had gone in. I knew she wouldn't find her since she had doubled around and ran in the opposite direction when she was out of sight.
Kageko on the other hand had not budged. I turned and walked back to the house as she walked around me and stopped my path. She was definitely not happy.
"Why did you just let her go after she insulted you like that? It makes my blood boil to hear such disrespect for you. Why do you just stand there and do nothing."
"I do nothing because I have always dealt with the hatred, dislike, or disrespect of others. It just doesn't matter to me. Other people's opinions mean nothing to me if they are not someone I care about."
I could clearly see that she was still not happy with my answer and was not going to just accept it. I tried to side step her, but she grabbed me by my shoulders and held tightly to keep me in place.
She put her face very close to mine and started to glare heavily at me. "Okay fine, you don't want to give me a straight answer, suit yourself. At least tell me why you allowed her such a large head start if you were going to let us chase after her anyway."
"I did it because I know her aura now. By letting her go, I can identify her aura later and figure out who she hangs out with to figure out who it was that is after my head. Or at the least narrow it down to less than the entire school and town."
Upon the realization that I actually had a plan for releasing her, Kageko's mouth was left just hanging open in shock as her arms dropped to her sides.
I pushed her jaw up to close her mouth and turned her around. I guided her into the house as she was still in a slight state of shock.
"Emerald," Kageko said meekly while coming out of her initial shock. "I won't doubt your reasoning again."
"It is fine to doubt, I am not perfect and do have a tendency to make rash decisions. If you ever doubt something I do then just say so, I wouldn't be offended or angry in any way."
Kageko perked back up a little hearing that I was not angry at her, she twisted herself around and latched onto my arm again as we both made our way back into the house.
I kept tabs on Isis's aura, but I could tell that she was already on her way back to the house, although she was still pissed, she had calmed down significantly.
I sent Kageko back off to sleep on the couch in the living room and went to meditate some more for a couple more hours before making breakfast for everyone.
*6:30 a.m.*
"Breakfast is ready" I yelled at the top of my lungs from the dining area. I put plates of eggs, bacon sausage, French toast, and a special breakfast soup I made onto the table.
The first person to appear at the table was Isis as she phased from what she has begrudgingly accepted to be her room. She was only wearing a robe that barely hid anything.
Next were Kageko and Cindy. They both walked down the stairs in their sleep wear with Kageko wearing the same lingerie from last night and Cindy wearing a tight tank top and short shorts.
"Morning girls, ready for the trials today? Where is Tia," I asked the three who were already starting to eat.
Kageko did a quick aura scan and told me that she was still in the bedroom. I made my way up stairs and knocked on the bedroom door.
There was no reply so I figured she was still asleep. I opened the door and flipped on the light. I looked to the hammock and saw her still cuddling the pillow I had given her.
I came up beside her and placed my hand on her and shook, trying to wake her up. After about five minutes I tried to say her name.
Before I even got the chance to make a sound, Tia's hand came up in a fist and connected with my chin. The impact lifted me off the ground and sent me flying back onto the bed.
"Oh my god, emerald I am so sorry," she exclaimed as she was now fully alert and running over to me.
"Did anyone catch the license plate of the truck that just hit me," I said in a dazed voice. This had Tia a little confused but glad none the less that she hadn't done any serious damage.
I shook my head to regain my bearings and managed to sit up. "Breakfast is ready downstairs. Damn you have a mean left hook," I stated while rubbing my now sore chin and jaw.
After calming Tia down with several assurances that I was fine, we both made our way downstairs.
When we got down, we found that when I had left, both Cindy and Kageko had stopped eating and waited till I returned before resuming.
Isis on the other hand had finished her meal and had headed back upstairs, according to the others. Tia and I sat down and the rest of us ate our meal.
When everyone had finished, we all went our separate ways to prepare for the day. When it was time to head to the train, everyone met up in front of the door to go outside.
Before we left I handed Kageko, Cindy, and Tia one of the sets of leftovers that I had had frozen for lunch.
The three girls were wearing gym uniforms instead of normal clothes. They also explained that even staff had to take part in the trials, meaning this was going to be even more difficult than I had originally thought.
As I looked at them, I noticed a small silver ring around Cindy and Tia's right arms. I asked them about this and they explained that they are special rings that will teleport them to the infirmary of the Academy should they be digiegged or lose consciousness during combat.
They also explained that it was mandatory for all Digimon and hybrid students to wear one so that their data can't be absorbed if they take too much damage while off of campus.
It would seem that even regular tamers will be wearing them during the trials as well.
At around this time, Isis came down stairs and joined us by the door. She looked around and noticed the girls each holding a lunch.
"Where is my lunch," she pouted, until she saw the two still in my hand. She reached out for one, but I put both into the satchel that I had gone out and purchased after breakfast.
She was surprised that I did this and gave me a questioning look. I noticed this and simply gave her my normal look back before explaining.
"I made lunches for my ketsuoni. You are not one of them; you are just an unwanted guest. Now if you can prove to me that you deserve it, I might start making your lunch in the future as well."
I could tell that she was slightly hurt at my comment. As I closed my new satchel, the other three decided to question part of my earlier statement.
"Emerald, earlier you called us your 'ketsuoni', what does that mean?" all three asked in unison.
"Ketsuoni is a word that I created when I was younger. It means one who is very dear. It is a word I use to describe very few people with." I replied as simply as I could.
The girls were quite stricken by what I said as it sunk in how much I just told them that they all mean to me.
I have only known two of them for a couple of days and the other for near over three weeks, but I felt closer to the three of them than I have ever felt towards anyone else, aside from my best friend Whitey.
I turned around, opened the door, and stepped out with the others following close behind when Cindy asked hurriedly, "shouldn't you hide your ears and tails?"
I simply shrugged and let her know that people were going to find out during the trials anyway, so letting them know a little bit beforehand would not make much of a difference.
As we walked through the streets, I began to receive a lot of looks of disgust from the various Digimon and humans alike that we passed. Even the realtor lady looked at me as if I was filth.
I did not let this bother me though. We just continued to the station and boarded the train. We had gotten there before any of the other students had arrived.
The train will go back and forth multiple times to deliver students who lived within the town with family. We got off at the Academy and made our way in.
In the middle of the field was a huge board with pictures of the entire student body and numbers under each picture.
We walked up to the board and I immediately found my picture along with the number five thousand fifty two below it.
"Hey, what is with all the pictures and numbers," I asked.
"The trials use a point system to decide the students' official rank within the school. Each number is a point value," Cindy started.
"Whoever beats that person gains that many points. Not only those points but any points the defeated person had accumulated as well." Tia finished.
"This is strange though," Isis quipped, "You are only an F class Digimon in terms of strength, your point value should not be this high. I am going to see what is going on."
Isis handed me two rings just like the one she and the others were wearing. I took one and put it on Kageko's right arm and slipped the other one onto mine.
The ring immediately clamped down on my arm and became skin tight. Surprisingly though, it would bend and stretch as I moved my arm, as if it was made of cloth. I couldn't even feel it anymore after a few seconds.
Isis then walked towards the building where the others had told me that the student council's office was located.
As we walked to the classrooms the girls explained a few things about the trials to me. They told me that they are held in the afternoon, after lunch. There would be two preliminary rounds in the morning and an all-out battle royal amongst those that make it through prelims after lunch.
Then they went on to explain that we would be spending the majority of the day, including the morning, in the Digital branch.
We neared the door to the classroom and I could hear excited chatter coming from the other side as well as several gasps and shrieks.
As the girls finished their explanation, I reached for the door to the classroom, only to have the door slam open.
When this happened, I did not have the time to react as I was slammed into the wall behind the door, with the door now shoved in my face.
"You are Alpha Tia, the Gatomon that is partnered to the human with the dark skin and long white hair correct, have you seen him; I wish to speak with him." A familiar voice said.
Who Is this mysterious voice? What do they want with Emerald? Find out this and more in the next episode of Digi Academy! Finally guys I also don't know when I can get the next chapter fully finished and posted.
