Four days went by quickly and the day finally came.
I woke up early and took a quick bath and started to pack my belongings into a suitcase.
The students of the hero course in The Unity were forced to stay in dorms, this was made necessary because the staff believed that one should step outside their comfort zone to truly improve oneself and they were right..
I have been at the Creed's mansion for more than a month and the only time I seriously trained was the day I enacted my plan. I've been enjoying my life a little too much, it was time to start training seriously.
That was why I had no qualms with moving into the dorms at Unity.
My only concern was Lecia, I don't know how long Bal would take to procure the artifact, but I hope it's soon. Leaving her alone in the mansion sounded dangerous but Diane and Ken would be with her most of the time and Diane was one of the most strongest beings on the planet, so let's hope that nothing bad happens.
After finishing my packing, I tear open a packet and take out the uniform that I would be wearing for my first year at the Unity.
The first years had a red uniform with black stripes in the sides, while second years had a white uniform with red stripes in the side and finally the third years had a black uniform with white stripes in the side. They were vertical stripes that covered both the shirt and pants.
The students in the different years were given different uniforms so that people could easily distinguish between the students in different years.
I wear the red uniform and look at myself in the mirror, the red uniform complimented my eyes, I looked magnificent if I say so myself.
I might be slowly becoming a narcissist.. but who can blame me ?
I literally look like I fell out of the sky.
My face had very soft features that would appeal to both men and women and my lower body was toned and lean.
I'm going to break a lotta hearts when I get older...
I take one last peek at myself in the mirror and leave my room with my suitcase in hand.

I was in Lecia's room now.
I had come to say goodbye, as I won't be seeing her for awhile.
Seeing her lying on bed with all those tubes stuck in her mouth, I started to feel a stinging sensation in my heart.
I gently caress her forehead with my hand and whisper into her ears,
'' I'll be back.''

I slide down the window of the car and feel the wind on my face, there was a twenty minute drive from the Cree- no... my mansion to the Unity.
I could always take a gate to teleport to The Unity but I chose to go in a car as that would be more comfortable to me.
I feel excited at the thought that I was finally entering 'The Unity.'', the center stage where most of the main plot of the novel happens.
A smile forms on my face as the wind ruffles my hair.
After about 23 minutes, the car finally stops.
I get out and gasp slightly at the magnificence before me.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
It wasn't even the the school, it was the entrance, a gate to be more exact.
It was entirely made from some kind of shiny material, in one of the doors, there was an engraving which said,'' ONLY UNITED SHALL WE WIN !''. Right now the gates were wide open and students from the other courses were going inside while chatting with their friends.
The car had been parked a few yards away from the gate and I started walking towards it. As soon as I reach the gate, a bald man rushes towards me with an outstretched hand.
Man, this school even had it's own porters.
I hand him my suitcase with a smile and say my name and course, the man blinks as if he was confused....
Of course !
How could I have been so stupid ?
I take out my wallet and give him a tip for his service.
He takes the money with his free hand.
'' I think there's a misunderstanding.'', The bald man smiles awkwardly at me.
'' I'm the principal.''
Oh.....
~~~~
Of course the first person I offend after coming to the school would be the fucking principal.
In the novel, I just mentioned him as a bald man who gave long speeches, he was also very strong otherwise he wouldn't be the principal of one of the best school's in the world.
Seeing him in a person was a lot different than writing about him. His blue eyes had some wisdom in them and he was very muscular as well, the glasses he wore gave him a very sophisticated look.
After resolving the misunderstanding and apologizing a bazillion times we went inside his office.
It seems that he had personally come to greet me, that made sense since the chairwoman of the association was my guardian.
I was currently sipping hot lime tea from a tea cup while listening to his ramblings.
'' I was so surprised when I heard that Diane had adopted a child !, but you look very similar to her-''
'' Similar how ?''
'' That-''
'' Our only similarity is our eye color.'' , I hate being to compared to other people, I am one of a kind ,bitch !
An awkward silence envelops the room.
Principal Gordan breaks the silence by saying,
'' I'm sorry if I offended you in some way just now, I speak without thinking sometimes.''
He lets out a small laugh after saying this.
'' No sir. I was just stating facts.'', my voice contains no hint of emotion.
'' The request Diane made has been approved but I'm curious.... why exactly do you want to be in that class so badly ?''
I smile, hearing his question.
Every year, the Unity accepts 500 students who applied for the hero course. Of course they had to pass a test of some kind. These five hundred students would then be divided into five classes, each class with a strength of a hundred students each.
The classes were named, 5- A, 5-B , 5-C , 5-D and finally 5-E.
All the main characters were present in the first class which was 5-A.
To make sure that I would be in Class 5-A, I had Diane send a request to the principal.
You can't refuse a request from the chairwoman of the Hero Association that easily.
'' I just like the letter A.''
The principal looks at me as if he thought I was dumb but before he can say anything more the door to his office swings open and a beautiful women enters the office.
I instantly knew who it was, Leslie Vord .
She was the homeroom teacher of class 5-A and also the principal, Gordon Vord's only daughter.
She had silky black hair and her hazel eyes radiated warmth. She also had huge br- kuhum... nevermind. She was also part of the main character's 'harem'. She falls in love with Max in the middle stages of the novel... after he turns 18 and starts following him around everywhere. She was also the youngest teacher at the Unity. I think she was 21 or something.
'' So this is my new student..'', she says with a smile on her face.
I return her smile and I reply back,
'' It's a great honor to be in the presence of ' The Hammer.''
Her face goes red when she hears my words.
The Hammer.
This was the nickname she was given by masses, it eventually turned into her hero name as well.. no it would be more better to say that the people forced it on her. The reason why she got the name was due to the fact that she was incredibly strong and precise just like a hammer.
'' Well then why don't you take him to class, Leslie.''
Principle Gordon breaks the awkward atmosphere and instructs her to take me too class.
'' Okay.'', saying this Leslie signals me to follow her, which I do.
After walking for awhile, the both of us stop in front of a huge ass door.
'' Welcome to 5-A.''
Leslie smiles and says in a cheerful tone.
I smile back at her and try to go inside, but before I can Leslie stops me and says,
'' Wait, let me introduce you properly.. come inside when I give the signal.''
I nod my head and Leslie enters the class.
After a full minute, I hear her say,'' come inside.''
I take in a deep breath and enter the classroom.
