Chapter 2: To Heal

As he clenched the crystals in his hand, he slid them into the ring once more, he felt and looked a lot better. The clothes even had gone far enough to clean his hair, fur seeming to wrap around him as he stood as the clothes reacted to the cold climate and changed automatically. It wasn't as warm as the blanket, but he needed to get out of this alley... Find a place he could sell at least a few of the crystals so he could get into a place that would allow him to rest and heal.

As he put the blanket back away, being sure no one was around when he did he noticed something he hadn't before, a large satchel. Pulling it out it fit well enough around him, and when he looked into it he didn't see anything in it, but this would allow him to retrieve things from his ring privately, it was definitely enchanted, just as everything else the man had given him.

He rubbed his hands together, flinching softly from the sharp pins of pain he got from his cracked fingers. He needed to find a place that had a medical tank.

Large tanks that could quicken how fast someone healed, they were expensive... But to be free of the pain so he could start his training with his body and mind at its peak, it was worth it.

As he walked slowly along the street, keeping an eye out he had to pause occasionally, he was full now, and his mouth producing saliva on its own a lot easier, but the pain and ache hadn't left him quite yet.

It took him only about 20 minutes to go deeper into the center of City Zeta.

As he walked into the lobby, there was no line so he walked directly up to the desk, the lady gave him a look before she smiled softly. ''How can I help you, hun?''

''I need a room... One with access to a Medical Tank, low grade please.''

The woman began to type on the holographic keyboard, her smile staying. ''Do you need meals as well?''

He shook his head, the lady nodded as she continued typing before she pulled a card from the wall behind her. ''That will be a small white crystal per week, how many weeks would you like to stay?''

''Two please.'' He said, putting two of the three white crystals he had down. She nodded before finishing up, then handing him the card. ''Please enjoy your stay, and if you need anything, please call the front desk!''

She kept her smile and waved as he walked toward the elevator.

Once he was inside he looked at his card, it had dark bold letters across the soft blue card. F3 9

Hitting the button for the fourth floor, he didn't need to wait long as the doors opened again, confirming it was his floor he walked out into the hall, walking down it until he got to the ninth room.

Using his card he got in, the door closing and locking behind him with a gentle swoosh.

The room was pretty large, with a king-sized bed, a full bathroom, and even a small kitchen.

Checking the fridge he noticed there were a few snacks and drinks in there, free of charge.

He would keep them in there for now, but as he turned to look across the room, beside the bed there was a large cylinder vat on its side.

He walked over to it, stripping his clothes off and putting them into the satchel he read the instructions.

He had no idea how injured he was, so he had it set for a week and a half, and to automatically stop once finished healing. Worst case he would spend an entire week and a half and still not be fully healed, and best case it quit automatically sooner so he could get to work faster.

Climbing into the open vat, it closed around him. He got comfortable than let the vat put him to sleep. It took a few moments, but once he was finally out. The vat began to fill with a warm green liquid.

[School 424 Named by residents 'School Hope']

A man sat at a large desk, reclined back in his chair, and a holographic bracelet glowed softly as he swiped through the many pages he was looking through. It was a 'Progress' report for all currently enrolled students.

He stopped when he came to a page, the image of a smaller boy was on it. White hair and electric blue eyes, if it wasn't for the apparent frail look, the kid would have a sharp gaze on him.

The man mumbled a bit. ''Missing for two weeks... Well, he has two weeks left, any further and he will be expelled... But by the reports, it looks like he was maybe bullied out of the school.''

The man sighed, his free hand raised to grip the bridge of his nose as he tried to rub at the approaching headache. ''I wish someone strong would appear in the students... Maybe through them, I can help weed out the bullies, and the rich kids who think they can get away with things... Well, guess they can even if I tried my best.'' He sighed once more before he continued to scroll through the many students, occasionally one would be marked red, orange, or green.

Green seemed to be students who were doing well, Orange were students falling behind, and Red were students who had remarks of bullying, rule-breaking, or worse... Most of them already crossed out.

One student came up, however, with a Golden page causing him to stop.

His brows went up as he examined the page, apparently, they had a little star in their school, excelling far ahead of her peers... He noticed down the report there was an additional file.

Pulling it up he noticed it was one of his better teachers, Alice Hale had asked for additional resources to be allocated to the student, as well as for them to have the chance to train in the weight chamber.

Rubbing at his chin a bit he confirmed it, signing the proper report to make it happen, as well as a small note simply saying to cheer the student on for him.

He looked at the girl for a few moments longer, remembering her features. Soft and delicate with a pretty smile, golden locks that fell freely in curls around her face, her name was Stella Harverson...

The last name seemed familiar, but he had too many reports to stop on this one, so he continued.
