"Don't let me stop you, If you are going to run now, there is a chance."
My face obviously portrayed my thoughts as her words stung a bit. I looked at my feet, which once again couldn't move? Why? Why won't you just move damn feet? Listen!
" Fine, it seems I am unable to move. so, is it you that's doing this?"
Her eyes lit up at the idea of me froze in fear.
" Partially, I guess the other half it the fact that my niece is holding you in place with mana unconsciously."
The boy next to me looked at me as my face slowly slacked.
Niece wait Boy right!?
My jaw came unhinged as I looked to my left. Our eyes caught, and the kid stood up, straightening the robes. The pressure immediately stopped, as the lady began to explain.
" It seems you have already been awakened from the moment you walked in the AI read you, It's tag says you both have a class, Sub class, and have something we haven't seen since the Founders!"
She walked to her desk, and a holoscreen appeared in the next second. I saw a picture of myself. It detailed me in full, starting with my name, age, sex, race, and even more important information about me alone.

bio: Rin is a simple male child with no major academic history nor merit to claim. grew up in New Cathedral of San Francisco, formally known as sunny point.
Both his parents work frequent hours to continue to make end meet. He has no family outside except for a singular grandmother. All known intellectual information about the other family ties has either been compromised or erased.
I stared at that screen that knew so much about me. Some I didn't even know since when have I had a grandmother???! since I was told all my grandparents passed before I was born!! Why do I have more questions than answers! the lady laughed at me, which made a pinch in my chest grow tighter. Although I think her words made it all Melt away.
" Complicated, as it may seem, don't resent your parents for it. I would give whole worlds for mine back, even if for a single moment. So there must be a good reason as well as a heart-warming tale behind it that you and Your parents will laugh and cry about later. if you resent them, though talking will never get easier."
A tear fell from her eyes as her hand passed over before her large, warm smile shone again.
" Enough of that now, my niece beside you, has been left here by my idiot half brother if you haven't guessed. She also happens to be quite traumatized, but it seems she is also awakened. Now, I have my own thoughts on what that trauma is from, but that is a family matter that I will soon squash myself."
She looked at me, rating my reactions, I guess, but I was still shocked that this girl was well a girl.
" Why does she look like a boy?"
" Magic young man Need I say anymore..."
I looked at her for a long moment before I chose my words very carefully. I initiated my plan to make a quick retreat!
" How am I supposed to help?"
By this time, she had decided to sit behind her desk. The girl next to me sat, but I stood there waiting for the punch line of this cruel joke.
" Well, I suppose you already knew you had awakened, and that blessing I see called Calming care works how I am guessing... anyone you show kindness to or even a semblance of care it activate Calming and mentally repairing one's Mind. This works well on Beasts and Animals that have no Consequence or conscious effort Calming them in your presence. although It seems that this sub class Companionist has altered it, or maybe it was born from it? "
I looked down at her beautiful desk made of gorgeous red wood she coughed as I had to truly think about the point she made. When did I awaken? Have I known?
" Nope, I honestly had no clue now. I have so many questions. I was awakened this whole time that's news to me bad news, though cause I'm dirt poor had I known it would have been put to use already The Hell! I came here today to check that, like how the hell am I supposed to know that!!"
I lost it as my guts hit the table. She giggled at me as my honest to goodness. Rambling went on. I was Pissed and had so many questions. The day was just going on, and the pikes were getting bigger! If I slip now being impaled, it is the least of my worries!
" Wow, that blessing only works for others, it seems?"
Her words brought me back my head Rang for a moment, then went clear as I felt her stare.
" I take that back it seems you can use it no matter the time... "
I caught her meaning as I felt my body release the tension, and my mind was calm.
" What is going to happen then?"
" That is easy, You were to be taken to a beast park where you will run in a test, a competition, and a practical solution battle. that is what you should have done but on my recommendation. something else has been devised. As for the free assistance, we usually give a pet beast, creature, or animal. It's from random Draw at Rank H too E. there is now an alternative, which is what I'm going to give you today."
She handed me a small purple Gem Card and two papers before Flicking one at The Girl next to me?
" The Card is an Amethyst rank Credit card. There are 25 thousand credits on it from me, which ten is for the awakening assistance, Ten is from me for your first week on the job, and The Five is a bonus. I will inform your family of the departure. The paper is immunity and right of travel under the Royal Delegates. The Other is A Written Statement that you are to give the principal when you arrive."
I Looked at her as I sat there watching the sun go down In her office the Window above her had a dark soul wolf Depicted as it ate the Prey it had Found that blood Stained the Ground In the photo as I looked at it my mind just Slowly caught up.
" Arrive? Where will I arrive, and what is happening?"
She set a small ring on a table in front of her, gesturing to it. I took it as a come here, which I did, and as I picked up the ring, my heart froze. What the hell happened in these few hours? Why am I holding a spacial ring worth a few million!? why won't any of this make sense.
" I can not explain what the A.I wont Explain to even I, as for the details of where the shuttle will take you two and two other kids. it is a school on Pentercost that you will attend with these three others. Your job is to protect them while you travel to and after you arrive. hopefully, in a few months, I will have sorted out the problems with these kids' families, and then I will send someone to relieve you. Again, I do not have all the details on this matter yet."
I looked her in the eyes as it seemed to trouble her as that smile was slowly fading. I can't imagine how much this weighs on her, but for some reason, I found myself answering easily.
" Yes ma'am, I understand. Just give me a run down, and I'll do my best. Is there going to be compensation for this, though?"
Her eyes lit up as her laugh was hearty.
" Let's clear this up. we will inform your family as best we can and as of the twenty-five, considering that a gift from me is best. you will be paid every two weeks a total of five grand the rest will go to your parents in the total of twenty-five thousand. The tuition and guardian fees will be paid in full for both years even if you do not continue service. the rest, though, depends on you, When you arrive on Pentercost, a lady will meet you with the code name Alpha. She will give you each a suitcase and a password you will make the plan from there as soon as you can! the situation is at your discretion from there until you meet with either me or the Emporer, no one else. It may be a while before this situation is resolved. "
She got up, walking to the wall furthest from her on our right her hand touched a panel on the wall, making a large door open as the book case jiggled, it then began to slide to the sides. a wall full of eggs, cubes, orbs, and Even Elongated Tubes each of them had a small name tag.
" Go on and pick one. There is nothing to give them away beside a name, and I guarantee you will know none of these. So technically, it is a random choice."
Her face lit up when my eyes went wide.
" Yes, that is the reaction I want when someone sees my Treasure trove. These are beginner Beasts that I usually only give to those that complete the champion battles they are all E to A Rank, although you have no indication of that on anything so. This chance is because I am truly sorry for this inconvenience, but from this point forward, no one will be at your side to help you... So let me correct that, and don't worry, a tamer can contract a plethora of Beasts."
I looked at the Wall, seeing the eggs from as small as a pinky nail to as large as a human in the fetal position. The small cubes were actually cages shrunk down to fit on the wall. The balls were captured orbs that also had magic to shrink size like the cages. The elongated tubes were filled with various substances that held Creatures once again they also had magic enchanting for size. There were other containment vessels, each full with a baby. As I went over the wall, I had no understanding, and that made it harder when I tried to read word that didn't even appear to be a language.
When I was scanning the wall, I saw a small silver egg. The egg was resting on a purple gem, which somehow seemed attached, and the moment i turned it over, I noticed that Scar under its Gem that made me flinch. I looked at that lady who, at this point, was smiling like a creepy old man and breathing heavy.
" It seems it called to you, eh? that's an awesome choice. now Are you ready?"
I turned to her with the egg in my hands, wondering when I chose, but before I could ask, I felt a ring. In my head, I heard two voices making soft cooing. after I spun looking for that voice, I saw a palm rushing at my face!? unable to move, dodge, or even react, my body was hit with a large pulse of mana, making my mind go white. I was not completely out it was like I was in a haze the Woman Laughed as she gathered us both. A man with black hair and a scary face came into the room, I was unable to understand the conversations they had as my haze grew darker before everything finally went Black!?
