~Thud~ Thud…
a young boy seems to be trying to punch a tree with all his might.
He hufs loudly and trying to keep his focus on the tree ignoring the sweats and the burning pain on his knuckles.
he starts to lose balance on his foot and sees the world spinning as he gently falls to the ground .
Thud.
His body slams to the ground as he keeps his eyes open.
He looks around the training ground afar where some kids seem to be doing some unimaginable things.
He sees them create fire and control them , some seems to be able to fly and some are going invisible to the naked eyes.
He grits his teeths as he whispers curses to himself.
damn it. Tap
he lightly slams his hand on the ground.
He stops looking at them and there magical abilities as he turns his eyes towards his bloody hands.
Sighs
I should go to the infermary ,it's hurting way to much.
He slowly rises from the ground and and dusts off the dirt and smells himself.
Ugh,i smell so salty.
He glanced one last time at other teenagers before heading to the infermary ahead.
As he walked he stared at his hands and looked somewhat dissatisfied.
He gripped his hands tighther and looked up with eyes with a glint on his puple.
I will not let give up he whispered.
I will definitely hold on to my promise.he said with his eyes closed.
He went to the infermary's door.
He stared at the tall door and slowly raised his hands but stoped midway.
He smelled himself again and started questioning if he should have showered first.
He looked stared at the door once again and stood there for a long time.
Ayy he grunted whatever happens happens,
He reassured himself and put his hands the door handle before spinning it to open.
Hi miss nurse! he grasped his hands together and lowered his head.
A pink haired beutifull nurse turned her head around as she put her hands on her nose.
She squinted her eyes a little before she faked smiled at him.
Hello adam what do you need help with.
{ugh I should have showered first} he internally regretted his decision looking at the reaction of the nurse.
I just need to disinfect and bandage my hands he ungrasped hus hand and showed his knuckles to her.
Sure… why not, she said looking hesitantly at the black haired boy with fair white skin but full of sweat.
Ouhh,
He flinched a little from pain.
But soon finished as he power walked out of the infermary.
Adam bowed respectfully and thanked the nurse before he closed the door and sprinted towards the shower.
Drip drip.
Oof it feels a lot refreshing after shower.
He said as he wore a plain white t shirt and pants with a blue academy jaclet on with the number 1 in it.
rumble rumble.
He looked at his stomach growling for food.
He sighed as he went to the cafeteria and stared at the most bland food of the world.
He glanced at other students with the number 5 on there jackets eating high quality meat before he looked at his rice and cabbage with other important vegetables.
Well i can't really eat meat if every animal has turned into a monster.
I guess I shouldn't complain. I should be greatfull i am not starving right now.
He tried to uplift his spirits but he glanced at the meat the others were eating for one last time.
He suddenly had an idea.
You know what if I cant be given meat why dont i hunt for it , he affermed himself.
Maybe i can test how much i have improved since last time.
He said as he remembered the last time he tried to go hunt and came back with nothing but a huge scar on his back.
I will definitely catch something this time he clutched his hands in excitement but also a little fear remembering the last almost death experience.
He quickly ate all the food as he rested a little and looked at the students training trying to understand how they do it.
He picked up some books from his room about the information of animal that live in the forest closest to the acedemy.
He packed a few items that will be necessary on his bag with a small axe on the belt with a rope.
He grabbed his acedemy card and rushed to the front desk of the acedemy.
Hello i need to go to the rookie forest he said excitedly as he places his card in front of her.
The female attendant looked at his acedemy number.
are.. are you.. sure? she squinted her face a little
adam understood what she wanted to say.
Ya i am sure he said confidently.
Okay.. she looked a little hesitant as she suddenly remembers who he is.
She remembers the last time he came here and how bad he got injured .
I hope you understand to make sure to stick to the group this time she snarked a little.
He didn't say anything but only nod while gripping his hands staring at the asistant.
He knew that even the worst students of the school reached the level 2 in a year but he has been stuck at level 1 for 2 years.
He might just be the worst student of the acedemy in history. He understood that very well.
And no matter how much people are kind towards him they will not be able to respect a kid that has no future to back his words.
He soon got put into a team of rookies with a senior student that had the level 3 on his jacket.
Other 4 were all level 2.
The others were a little skeptical of adam coming to the team but kept it to themselves.
The senior boy looked at me and tried to kindly tell me to rethink my action.
Are you sure you want to come along?
This forest maybe level 1 but it is still dangerous for newcomers and you need to be atleast a level 2 to be able to kill a level 1 beast.
Adam didn't back down but he knew aside from the senior noone was willing to keep adam by there side.
Just so you know we will not be protecting you , boy in the back said arrogantly.
He stared at him with disgust as he looked down on adam.
I understand ,adam said with his head a little down.
The boy was pretty angry at adam .
The boy was somewhat a talented guy as he was already about to advance to level 3 and only need some more time and experience.
Adam knew him all to well after all adam was his desk mate on the first year.
Others were secretly agreeing with him after all adam was only deadweight on the team plus they were supposed to share the loot with teammates so they were also quite angry.
I will not be needing protection from you alll will not be deadweight to you all he declared to the team .
The others were shocked at his insolence but didn't say anything but snare at him .
Clap Clap
The senior clapped to gain attention as he took comand.
Okay rookies name is lucas and we will now be going on a hunt for beasts.
Donot worry about not catching any beasts after all i am here .
He said proudly with his cheast high.
You are all probably here for experience as rookies and i will be helping you all.
Unless you are really in danger or make big mistakes i will not be stepping in, i will only guide you all to show how pros work.
He said as he showed his hands to a circle ahead.
A giant white glowing circle that seems to spinning in itself. But it seems a little different than last time .
Did it have small lightning sparks before?
Lucas spoke You have probably heard of this before but i will explain again.
This is a teleportation portal that will lead us to the land of beasts.
Don't forget this is very mentally hard if you are new to this.
Adam remembered the last time he went through this he vomited so much he was unable to move for half an hour this was also one of the reasons adams previous teammates hated him.
He gripped himself harder this time as he focused on the rift.
Lucas looked at all of them explaining the plan and how many beast they were going to collect to share with eachother.
They all agreed on the plan as the senior lucas guided them through the teleportation rift.
Adam walked behind others .
as soon as adam stepped on the portal he felt his every cell being divided and moving on there own as if they were all alive and had intelligence.
Adam finally realized why he felt so sick last time because his body had been divided and reconstructed so it was a very big tole on his mind.
But he wondered why others didn't have as much of a reaction as he did.
He didn't ponder much before stepping out of the portal.
He looked ahead to see the forest seeming a little different than before.
Was it always this black? And what is up with all this large trees this wasn't here the last time.
GRRR he heard a small growl from behind.
He stood still for a second before he turned his eyes behind.
He didn't see the portal that was supposed to be there but instead saw a big furry wolf looking creature that was almost 5 meters tall .
The wolf eyes were locked in him.
Adam was stunlocked for a second.
{WHAT THE HELL IS SUCH A BEAST DOING HERE}
He internally screamed as he stood still.
Even a small movement means the wolf will pounce on him immediately.
The wolf had silaiva on his mouth and some blood on it as if it had just killed someone.
The wolf slowly stepped his way to adam as the wolf crushed the big fallen tree on his way without a single sound coming out his claw
The wolf slowly got closer and closer to adam staring intently.
Slash
A sudden sword slash cut down the tree near the wolf.
The wolf immediately turned his head around.
RUN !! YOU IDIOT!!
I heard a familiar voice from the side
A bloody lucas with his sword out and an arm missing was screaming at adam from afar.
Adam immediately sprinted the other way with his eyes wide open.
fuck fuck fuck adam cursed at himself as he didn't give a single glance to lucas.
He knew what lucas wasdoing .but didn't care and only cared about his own life.
The wolf immediately saw lucas and with a boom immediately was infront of him with a wide jaw ready to chew him.
Lucas was in shock as he didn't even see the wolf move and it was already infront of him.
