Chapter 4
"Welcome students. I am Mason Oldrosso, Number XII (12) of the Chronos numbers and I am your principal." Chronos Numbers. I had heard that somewhere before but I couldn't figure out why. I think Zagine had mentioned it before.
"Here are your teachers for the year. First we have Belze Rocheford, Number II(2), he will teach you Human Biology and Health. Next is Survival class. The teachers are Kranz Maduke, Number IV(4) and Baldorias S. Fanghini, Number VIII(8). Nizer Bruckheimer, Number V(5) and Ash, Number X(10). They will teach you Combat." These classes sounded weird. Human Biology and Health sounded normal but Survival and Combat weren't. "Emilio Lowe, Number III(3), will teach you Snipe. Beluga J. Heard, Number XI(11) teaches Marksmanship. Number IX(9), David Papper will teach you Weaponry and Anubis, Number VI(6) teaches Stealth." This school sounded like it was teaching it's students how to kill. The exact same thing Zagine had been teaching be before he had been killed.
I looked at my new teachers. All of them had a golden weapon and the tattoo of whatever number they were. When I got Number VI I was a bit shocked. Anubis turned out to be a wolf. Which was kinda cool. His tail was metal and had the same golden color of the rest of the teachers weapons.
"After a few more announcements, all of you, students, can speak with your teachers and meet them for the first time or be reacquainted with them, before you're sent to class. First, for our new students, you will not be separated by school grades such as grade one, grade two, etcetera, etcetera. Your skill level will separate you, so you may have other students who are older or younger than you in the same classes. Second, if you are skilled enough in multiple classes, you will be moved up a level and join the other groups. This can be done any time within the year. Third…." I stopped listening. I caught a few words here and there and knew what he was talking about. Stuff that had to do with graduation ceremonies, expectations and anything else that had to do with school. This school did sound kinda fun.
After awhile, Mason was finished talking and everyone got up and got into groups or went to talk to the teachers. I got up and started walking around. I was tired and just wanted to back to Karl's and sleep. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and bumbed into something huge I looked up and saw Number XI. He was huge and had blue hair and blue eyes. He was someone I would not want to face in a fight.
"And who are?" He asked me.
"Train Heartnet." I told him.
"By the way you told me your name you don't sound scared."
"Why should I be. You're just a teacher."
"A teacher capable of killing you if I get angry." I just shrugged and he laughed. "You seem an interesting student to teach, Heartnet." And with that he walked away.
Finally all the new students went to a room full of mirrors with Nizer and Ash. All they did was test our skills than send us on our merry way to the next class. Actual classes didn't start until tomorrow.
When I got home Karl and Vanessa just asked me how my day was and then we ate supper and I went to bed. The next morning I had to walk and I was almost late. I had been put into the fifth class level and saw the green haired kid from the day before in Combat. Combat was the first class I had. He was flirting with some more girls but stopped when he saw me.
"You sure you're in the right class?" he asked me.
"Yeah. Do I need special permission from you to be here?"
"No. I was just making sure you hadn't gotten lost."
"Whatever." I said as I walked away.
"Why don't we fight to see that you actually deserve to be here. I'm the undefeated champion in this class."
"Oh really. I bet I could beat you blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back." Everyone in the room was listening to our conversation now. Probably because I was the new kid.
"Can you actually do anything to back up you words?"
"Why don't we find out."
That did it and he came at me. I didn't expect and just barely dodged.
"Oh come on. Is that all you've got?"
He charge at me again and this time I flipped him. He got up realized that charging at me wasn't doing anything and we started kicking and throwing punches. He only managed to land a few blows on me before I managed to pin him.
"Unbeatable huh?"
"Hazard, Heartnet. Office now." Ash told us. Hazard, so that was the guys last name. We got up and I followed him to the office. Karl was going to kill me for sure if he found out.
"You know what! This is all your fault!" Hazard exclaimed as we walked down the hall, "If you hadn't of started that fight we wouldn't be heading to the office right now."
"I didn't start the fight. You threw the first punch so you were the one who started the fight."
"Whatever."
We didn't say anything when we got to the office. We sat down and waited to be called into the principal's office. It was the second day of school and I had already been sent to the office. That had to be a new record for me.
