"Captain, the energy signature appears to be human." Another of the ship crew spoke loudly.
The captain lazy glanced at the young lady crew assistant . "All the more reason to shot them down."
"Yes captain." The lady responded typing in a then spoke softly.
"Activating Trixtaminator,"
"Locking onto target, target locked."
"Prepare to fire..."
"Just fire already." The captain muttered in irritation and closed his eyes, going back to his nap.
"Fire in full force!"
"Wait!... Sir, the target is a—"
Boom!
A massive pillar of destructive light shot out from within the beastly shaped beast.
David shot through the air with intense speed. Then, he frowned as he felt a prickle on his chest as though he had been locked on.
A terrible blast of energy vapourized the air with its destructive wave, heading towards him.
David scoffed softly. As though he hadn't seen it, he made no attempt to dodge the column of energy.
Boom!
He was struck headon, but contrary to expectation, his body wasn't torn apart by the energy as expected.
Instead, he came out from the blast unscathed, but with a scowl on his face.
While he had managed to come out without as much as a scratch, the same couldn't be said for his clothes.
Moreover, the momentum he had built and had calculated would land him at the top of the ship had been disrupted, blasting him backwards.
His muscles shook violently and his blood pumped rapidly in his veins. With the speed, he was able to defy gravity in the process. Using the muscles in his body, David created massive shockwaves, propelling him in the air once more.
Within the ship, the seven crew members were shocked speechless.
"C-captain, t-there's a situation." One of them managed to stutter.
"What is it again?" The captain groaned lazily and stood up glaring at the seven people seated around the cabin.
"Sir, the target managed to survive." The young lady quickly spoke up.
"Then shot it again? Isn't that simple? You all keep disturbing my sleep."
The captain complained, his eyes shifted as he looked at the hologram before him.
Then he frowned. "What is that?
Does he have a chip on him?"
He suddenly turned towards the pilot. "Sir, uhm that's what I've been trying to say, he is one of our students..."
The captain expression turned blank as he stared at the people before him. "You almost killed a student..."
The entire crew immediately turned silent. They dared not say a word.
The captain took in a deep breathe and then spoke in annoyance, open the hatch.
The crew instantly breathed out sighs of relief. The captain hadn't punished them.
Quickly, they pushed a button down, the belly of the Sky fighter opened, and with a whoosh sound, some one landed right at inside the ship.
"Open the door, lets meet this student of ours." The captain commanded, seated on a large seat, right at the middle of the control room.
David appeared nostalgic. He kept glancing around at the ship and while it wasn't smiler to the one that brought him to the academy, it still had the same shape and style.
Suddenly, the door leading to the control room opened. David blinked his eyes and hesitated he wasn't sure what of he was supposed to head inside or not.
But since the door pretty much opened widely for him, it was pretty much a telling sign.
David walked forwards a few steps and he was greeted by a row of people seated, staring at him with various weird expressions on their faces, mostly awe.
"Hello, I'm David." It was seemingly the most appropriate statement he could make at this time.
"David is it? One of the exchange students? What are you doing this far away from the academy ? If we weren't here, you might as well be lost." The man seated at the big seat, the captain stood up as he frowned deeply, staring at David confused.
"Oh, I achieved a mastery in my practice and needed actual combat to hone my skills. I didn't know I was this deep into the forest and was somewhat lost. Thank goodness you came." although David explained carefully, he didn't sound a bit relieved, he was only gazing at the ship curiously.
His time at the academy almost made him forget where exactly he came from. Like a barbarian, he had almost forgotten he came from a continent with high tech.
The captain gazed at David weirdly. He was suspicious of David and didn't believe everything David had said.
But he still nodded his head. "Alright, in light of the service you've done for the institute, I won't ask any further questions."
"We need to get back the others from the academy back to the institute then I can have my rest when I'm back home." The captain muttered.
"Hey, uhm, no one is coming back, I'm the only one." David blinked his eyes innocently.
The captain's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"
"The others decided to stay, you can ask the Dean of the academy if you think I'm lying." David shrugged as he explained.
The captain immediately frowned and brought out his holographic image. Using his ONI, he seem to be having a conversation with someone.
His expression then darkened significantly as he slapped at his left hand, ending the hologram.
Bam!
"Dammit! Dammit!! Dammit!!! That sly fox!" slamming the desk in anger, the captain was infuriated. His face in an ugly expression.
He breathed out roughly and turned indifferently at the crew. "Lets go back."
"You can head back to rest, since you must be tired from your training. We will arrive in about a month, be patient."
David nodded his head. He was well aware the captain was angry, he didn't want to anger him any further.
With that, David headed back into the passage way. There was a lot of seats so David chose one at random.
"Finally!" David said in relief.. He was finally heading to a place he could call home.
