"To one Miss Crystal Kiawashi:
The Academy has been tracking your academic progress and is quite pleased with your abilities as a student. The Academy has also learned of your other abilities, and these are the two primary reasons we are writing to you.
The Academy is a fine school of learning and development, and we would be honored to have you as our newest pupil. We are located on a beautiful but somewhat small campus in the state of Pennsylvania. But there are better reasons than those to chose to study here with during both your high school and college years.
We have a specially developed curriculum which will allow to grow as a special and unique individual. This program is catered to your special needs and will allow you to advance your abilities as a student, a person, and a mutant.
Please discuss this school as an option with your esteemed parents. Should you decide to come here, you will have to pay no tuition for your entire stay. You have already qualified for our Complete Scholarship and you will receive it as soon as you accept our invitation.
We will send one of representatives to your town on Monday the Twenty-second, and you can meet with him wherever you like. He will be willing to assist you in any way possible.
Thank you and sincerely,
The Academy in Pennsylvania"
Crystal's parents, both of proud Japanese origin, were highly excited about the letter and told Crystal she would transfer to The Academy as soon as they finished reading it.
"Here is a school with honor," they said. "Our little girl can learn much here."
Crystal was torn in her emotions. She was excited at the prospect of going to an elite school and meeting more people like her. She was just nervous about developing her powers.
She discovered her abilities when she was ten, seven years ago. She had never used them since she was fourteen, not since she had grown too careless with her control and killed a man.
No one had found out about it, but she refused to take that chance again. But perhaps this academy could make it safe for her to learn more, and eventually use them without fear of an accident…
When Monday came around, her parents both dressed in their formal kimonos and waited to greet their guest. He came in a private helicopter, which dropped him off right in front of their house, causing quite a stir with the neighbors. He was also dressed in a formal kimono.
He spoke with the parents for hours, and they agreed to everything. Then he requested a personal interview with Crystal, and she also agreed with everything. It was as if her dreams had come true. Only one aspect of the school scared her. She was told that everything that went on had to be kept completely secret, that not even her parents could find out what really went on.
She flew back to Pennsylvania that same day, packed with four huge bags of luggage. It was getting late, so she was shown her room on the fifth floor. She began to unpack, but couldn't finish the process. She fell asleep by midnight, comfortable in her new bed, her personal symbol of her new life.
