Chapter 7 Meeting Caleb

Mason sat on his seat at the back of the class as he went through his books. And for the first time since he began Avalon school, he was able to read at peace without anyone coming to disturb him.

Soon though, the school bell rang indicating that the school break was over. And a few moments later, the student in class D began trooping into the class just as Mr Gibson, the history teacher came walking in.

"Ugh, history class again!" A girl with raven coloured hair complained while the whole class bursted out laughing.

"I know you hate history class Debby, but I'm sorry to break it to you, the school pays me to do my job so I'm going to do my job." Mr Gibson replied with a smile as he dropped the history textbook on the table while moving to the front of the table.

"Today is going to be different everyone because we are not going to talk about the history of earth like we normally do in our classes but about the history of the dragon bloods, their weakness, strength and how they can be defeated." Mr Gibson said as he moved in between rows while everyone else seemed to get relaxed as if waiting for the lesson to begin. Even Mason was interested as he had always been his wish to fight against the dragon bloods.

"Like everyone must have guessed right now, the entire world does not truly know the origin of the dragon bloods or where they came from. All we know is that they came to earth hundred of years ago, creaking havoc and destroying all that stood in their sight. Their physical forms are just like that of humans but they are unlike anything you've ever seen or Heard of." Mr Gibson said and paused as he took a look at everyone's faces. And seeing that he had gotten their interest already, he took a deep breathe before continuing.

"The dragon bloods differs from one another and have three different skin colours, each one much more stronger than the next. They are the tan skin, the green skin and the black skin. The ones with the tan skin are tall and muscular like the rest but with piercing serpent eyes and two long horns on their head. They possess pointed ears and can only be defeated by a level 5 ability users and above. The ones with green skin have the same form as the first one but with a tail and scaly skin. They can only be defeated by level 7 ability users and above while the black skin dragon bloods are much more powerful than the rest. They have all the forms of the other two but with strange markings and a crest on their back. They are much more powerful and can only be defeated by a level 8.5 ability users and above. But they all have the same weaknesses, they are vulnerable to magic. So does with the mage ability or saint ability can easily defeat them depending on their levels. Another way to defeat them is to use weapons created from their bones or bones of other high mutated beast. Aside from these, dragon bloods cannot be defeated."

Mr Gibson took a deep breathe as he finished explaining. He could tell from everyone's faces that they were indeed satisfied by his today's lessons. And indeed he was right, everyone was really satisfied. Although they had just learnt of how powerful dragon bloods really were, they were happy to know their weaknesses as well.

Mason on the other hand could not believe his ears, he was really thrilled by everything he had just learned. Becoming a level 7 ability user and above was by no way an easy thing as many got stuck after reaching level 6. Leveling up after that took a lot of time and hard work and only a quite few could achieve that. And this just proved that dragon bloods were indeed really powerful, even much more than he imagined.

"Can I really defeat something like that?" Mason wondered but quickly push the thought away. There was no way he was going to let that stop him. He was going to train and work really hard to become powerful. Besides he had the system now which meant he now had a chance.

"Okay everyone, that's that." Mr Gibson said and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"I have an announcement to make everyone. For those among you who wish to join the neohuman Force and become a hunter. The acceptance exams is coming up in a month. The requirements is to be an ability user and at least a level 1.5. if you're interested, then get a form from the central office and fill it out."

With that, Mr Gibson turned and existed the class, leaving the entire class stunned by the news. Mason on the other hand couldn't hide the joy he was feeling right now. This was his chance, the one he had always been waiting for. But although it was finally here, Mason couldn't help but feel a bit sad about that.

Although he had gotten the system, he still could not figure out what his ability was and how it work. And until he did, he wasn't sure what would happen.

"Hey, you're Mason right? Are you going to try it out?" A voice asked from besides him and Mason turned to see who it was. It was Caleb, a boy with dirty blonde hair and a pointy nose. Strange, Mason thought, although the boy had just transferred to the school, he had never spoken to him before.

"Are you talking to me?" Mason asked with a surprise look and the boy nodded.

"Of course. And I heard what you did to Drake by the way, well we all did. And I just want to say thank you, he really deserved it."

"Yeah. Well, he had it coming anyway. It was only a matter of time before someone did it." Mason replied while scratching his head. It was really awkward talking to someone at Avalon school since he was used to being alone.

"How did you do it by the way? I know you're not an ability user. Or did you awaken one?" Caleb asked and Mason chuckled nervously.

"Of course not. I was just lucky." Mason lied. Well, technically it wasn't a lie as he still did not know what ability he had yet.

"Well, that's quite the luck you got there." Caleb said and they both laughed. "Well, I'm Caleb, Caleb Fae."

"Mason Blackwood." Mason replied as they shook hands.

"So? Are you going to try it out or not? The acceptance Exams I mean."

"I'm not sure about that." Mason replied. "I'm not an ability user and I don't have the required funds so,"

"Come on, cheer up. The exam is one month away. And that's pretty long if you ask me. Anything can happen before then you know? So do not give up just yet." Caleb said and Mason smiled. Somehow he could tell that Caleb was a good guy and that perhaps , they might one day become good friends in the future.
