nAs John opened his eyes, all that he could see was darkness, complete darkness.

n

"Where am I...?

"

nThe sound of his voice echoed throughout the room and broke through the silence, as he pushed himself up

nThe ground was warm and cosy, and he had a strange but powerful urge to sleep.

nAs he stood up from the ground, he decided to ask the last question which had been on his mind

n

"Who... am I?

"

n---------------------------------

n

"So, Master... What are you waiting for?

" Asked John as he tilted his head to the side

nHe was shirtless, his clothes had torn in the fight yet there were no wounds in his body, not even scars. Her disciple had always been amazing, and she had noticed it.

n

"John... I'm sorry.

"

nUpon hearing this, a grin was formed on John's face, however it didn't belong to him.

nThe two stood there for a moment, before John asked

n

"So, aren't you going to att-

"

nWithout bothering to finish his sentence, he ducked, avoiding Master's sudden fast kick in the process

nSeeing the kick John let out a whistle as he said

n

"That was close...

"

nAs he raised his hand to the side, and blocked the kick Master Sylvia sent again after shadow stepping without warning

nMaster Sylvia shadow stepped again, a few feet above him before sending a kick down, but without moving a single step off his spot, he blocked it as he raised his hand

nSeeing this, John let out a yawn as he asked

n

"Is that all?

"

nIn that instant, A blow was landed on his face sending him straight towards the edge of the Arena. To stop himself from going any further back, he pushed his leg onto the Arena's floor.

nAs he began to slow down, Master Sylvia appeared in front of him, she sent a kick moving from the sides aimed straight at his head, but he avoided it as he bent his body backwards

nOnce the kick had gone past, Master Sylvia used the momentum and rotated her body mid-air before sending a kick straight down at him

nBut as the kick got in motion, John already had his arms raised to block it

nAs the kick landed, he moved his hands to grab on to Master's leg when all of the sudden

n*Crashed*

nHe took a hit to his face slamming him straight down on to the floor, breaking it in the process.

nAs he laid on the ground, with a hint of confusion, Master sylvia spoke.

n

"Just give the kid back.

"

nBut to this, without bothering to get up, John began to laugh

n

"Hahaha... Hahahaha... Perhaps I must have been trapped for so long.

"

nSuddenly, in a near instant, the boy who had been on the ground a second ago, appeared in front of her, and said

n

"I didn't know I was capable of being lenient, looks like that kid's still active... My body just won't move the way I want it to.

"

nWithout attacking him, Master Sylvia listened on

n

"Hey... How did you do that?

"

n------------------------------------

nJohn had been walking around in the pitch-black darkness without so much of a clue as to which way he was going, or where he was going to.

nAfter a few minutes, he saw it, it was small and hard to notice it was there, a tiny point of light within the darkness

nWith hope that he finally found a way out of wherever he was, he began to run to the light

nHis legs were drained, he didn't why but they with every step he took, the strain over it got bigger and bigger

n

"Come on... Nearly there...

"

nForcing his legs to go above their limits, the boy continued to run with everything he had. The light felt like it was calling out to him.

nAs he got closer and closer, he could feel his legs sinking in to the darkness along with an unbearable desire to sleep.

nBut that didn't stop him, he kept going, his will far outweighed his desire to sleep.

nOnce he was only a few feet away from the light he stretched out his hand towards it

n----------------------------------

nJohn opened his eyes once again and found himself staring outside of the window being more drawn in to the clouds with each second that passed.

n

"John, um excuse me, John?

"

nA voice called out to him, snapping him back into reality, John turned to the voice and saw a familiar face

n

"Me...?

" He asked with a confused tone as he pointed at himself

n

"Yes...? You're John, aren't you? Also... We're the only ones here...

" Said the teacher as he looked at John with confusion

nUpon hearing this, John quickly turned to the window and as he barely managed to see his reflection, he sudden came upon a realisation

n

"Ah... That's right... I'm John...

" John muttered before getting up

nJohn looked around; he was in a classroom. There were empty desks everywhere, and the clouds were gathering up, a storm was on its way.

n

"John? Is everything okay?

" The teacher asked with a worried look

nUpon hearing this, John replied

n

"Yes, everything is fine, sir.

"

n

"R-Really? That's good...

"

nWhile the teacher was replying, John had already started heading towards the classroom doors to exit it, when all of the sudden the teacher moved in front of him

n

"Sir?

"

n

"W-Wait, There's something I had to say.

"

nJohn had no reason to refuse, but he was in a hurry, he didn't know why, but there was something that he didn't want to miss.

n

"What is it?

" John asked

n

"R-Right, John... You've recently come to this school, and I'm sure it's difficult to fit into the class but you should put more effort into talking with them.

"

nTo this, John simply replied with a confused expression

n

"Yes...?

"

nThe Teacher didn't understand his reaction, why did the Boy look so confused with that reply. But when he was about to ask John, he had already left.

n----------------------------

nAs he stood in the hall way and looked outside of the window, he noticed that even more clouds were forming up

n

"This is a school...? What school...? My name is John... But who am I?

" John asked himself these questions before turning his head down the hallway to where the sound was coming from

nAs he did, his eyes widened, There was a group of girls heading in his direction and in the middle stood a single girl which stood out.

nShe seemed to be struggling fitting into the conversation, as she laughed along with them

nJohn couldn't make out what they were saying, but that didn't matter to him. He wasn't sure himself what mattered, but as he stared at the girl, a name suddenly popped up in his mind.

nOne the girls noticed him staring right at Elena, and whispered it to the group

n

"Hey, isn't that the quiet transfer student?

" One of the friends asked

n

"Oh yeah, it is... Why is he just staring at you?

" Another friend asked

n

"Eh? Uhm... I'm not sure...

" Said Elena as she stared back at him

nThe girls walked past and, in that moment, one of the friends said

n

"Hm... Maybe he has a thing for you.

"

nSuddenly, As Elena was about to walk past, John grabbed on to Elena's hand

n

"Elena....?

" He asked with a confused expression
