The chalk screeched against the chalkboard, "How did Mana change the evolution path of Humans?" multiple other students raised their hands "Yes Seren", I wasn't even fully paying attention.
"Well there were many new Forms of human like creatures made, the most known is the Vanta, but there are many more" The teacher seemed pleased.
The bells rang shortly after.
while walking down the halls I heard someone shout, "Hey Aisu, wait up!".
I looked behind me, "Hey George, we still getting Something to eat after school" he smiled "Yea and I think I found just the place" I nodded "Well I've got to get to my next class, talk to you during lunch"
I rushed to my locker, I needed my training sword.
The sun barely peaked over the walls of the Academy.
we all stood waiting for our instructor.
a gruff voice came from behind us "As this is your first day I would like to teach everyone the basics of holding a sword"
2 hours later
"Yea man, its this little tucked away coffee shop" of course George found a coffee shop.
I pulled out my phone "And its name?"
he sounded a little annoyed "Youll see, when we get there" we walked into a narrow back-alley, there was a small sign 'Aphellion'
we had to walk down to get to the front door "this place seems sketch" he smiled "Dont worry, its not in the basement"
we had to walk up some Stone topped stairs.
"I see how they" I had to take a moment to breath "make business" I finished my sentence "HAHAHAH"
we reached the door. it felt like an eternity.
it was cozy, the entire place was wood, there were some painting on the walls
we sat down at a table next to a window, there were some menus already there "You got any recommendations" he nodded "the hot chocolate is great"
we waited for a server to come over and it didn't take long for a man to come over "What can I get you 2"
George went first "Hey whats the secret to your hot chocolate" the server smiled "You should really try something else George"
"ill just have a cup of black coffee" the server nodded
"I will be right back with those 2 things"
we sat there in silence until the drinks got back, I lifted the tiny white coffee cup to my lips, I gently blew on it, before I took a sip "this is quite good" he smiled and nodded "told you" he had a smug look on his face.
Bang
I couldn't lift my head "Bring him in" I was paralyzed, the server walked over and I felt the prick of a needle "get him to the back, and check what he is"
I was lifted out of the chair and brought to the back, where they set me on something cold but they closed my eyes so I couldn't tell what they were fully doing, I felt a strap being placed over me and then a clicking sound, they stuck me with another needle but they took from me.
More pricks of needles and then the fog washed over me.
after some time I felt the weights being lifted but I could tell something was wrong, it was soft under me and my arms felt stiff.
i sat up, my mouth dry.
Where was I, what did they do, Could it be the Vanta.
No Mirage would protect us RIght?
"Subject Vorren 235, get up" metal scrapping, I followed what they had said and stood, I had yet to open my eyes.
Bliding, it was a complete white room, with only a silver bolted down chair "Good they didn't take too much" their overhead speaker spoke again "WHY?!" I heard a chuckle "You know what you are SCUM" what did they mean.
i looked down at my arms, Red, that is the only color that I could see "If you are a good little Vorren then maybe we can use you"
what did he mean "We will start with getting you cleaned up, sit down in the chair... arms behind back" I listen, why did I listen its what these Vanta fuckers wanted.
"Who are you!" I heard a chuckle "The law" it was Mirage, but they had to have made a mistake.
"Im Human" my voice cracked.
i heard them chuckle, the door opened "DONT MOVE" they restrained my hands "Stand" I stood.
"Youve got to listen to me, I'm Human" the people guards laughed "Most covnicing Vorren yet, you know I had one of these fuckers bite his own arm off to use it as a weapon"
this couldn't be real, this had to be a joke, a sick twisted joke.
A sick twisted fucking joke.
the warm tiers fell down my face "Look at this George your little pet is crying" they pushed me forward,.
What had I done, WHAT HAD I DONE.
we stoped next to a door knock "Face the wall" I kept facing forward, they grabbed my head and slammed it into the grey concrete of the wall. they removed the restraints and opened the door before pushing me in, it was a room, it had a bed, a chair and a bathroom.
there was a massive one way mirror "Subject, we belive that you may work well as a Oprative for Mirage"
"WHY. WHY. WHY" they were silent "We give you 2 options, join Mirage or be moved to a prison"
"WHAT AM I" I could barely think due to my mind racing "Your DNA indicates you are a Half Vorren, which is why we belive you could work as a Agent, since the other Virean races cant detect a difference with you"
"OK"
