“Yuki, Tess said you’re banned from doing any fighting today,” Zhuyu informed me in the training facility. “Why am I even here then?” I questioned with a heavy sigh. “Good question. You know Tess, she always wants you to observe things and see what you can pick up. Besides, I know for sure you’re not ready to do anything crazy,” …

Turning the doorknob, I entered a bright room and saw an unexpected sight. A lone person sat near a control panel and placed a brown paper bag down near it. What the hell was going on here? “Oh, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to eat my lunch first,” he said, not even looking in my direction. Someone …

Their device grew brighter, whirring like an engine. “Behind you!” Kuan fired shots at my backside. I created an ice wall, but it shattered immediately as the enemy lunged for my throat. I activated …

I woke up, pain in the back of my head. How much time passed since I was knocked out? I struggled to my feet and checked the digital map on my wristband. “Nothing, am I even in the same place?” I only saw a constant flickering. Kyoi mentioned this place contained high variance so maybe it was freaking out because …

Sunday Spring Quarter 2016 Week 8 I woke up to the beeping of my alarm and staggered out of bed. No grogginess but it wasn’t a maximum energy type of day.

Friday Spring Quarter 2016 Week 8 “How’s En doing?” I asked Zhuyu as we walked to the student lounge. “I talked to him yesterday and he took a day off from work. Slept the entire day. Looks like he’s feeling some pain but nothing too bad,” he replied, opening the door for me. “Glad En’s not suffering any side effects. …
