Even as we continued screaming, something felt off. Everyone's passionate, but passion can only bring you so far, until you must accept your faults. It's not that passion's bad, it's just that you must never let it consume you towards your reality. Well, astleast, that's a moto I've always livede by.
"Calm down everyone!" Clad yelled into the megaphone, as everyone's screams turned into silence. "I'll now be calling names to each student to access your Amis. All you must do is stand on the platform I'm currently standing on, and poof! I'll do the rest!"
He lifted his head up slightly, to engage the crowd probably, as he took out a sheet of notes from the inside of his suit, and declared, "Drace Malfoy! You're first up!"
Whispers started erupting in the crowd of Cleaners, but I'm not here to watch, I'm here to study.
As Drace began walking up, I noticed that face, so very disturbingly. He was the man trying to hit up on Emilia earlier, talking shit towards Renji. Let's see what 'Amis' connects to his annoying personality.
"Well, now Drace. If you may please just stand here."
Clad pointed directly where he wishes him to be, and Drace communicated eagerly, like an entirely new person.
Someone who looked like a kid awaiting his Christmas present. But it wasn't a console he looked happy to receive, it was a piece of coal. A boy who knows he was bad before Christmas day.
"Please close your eyes Drace and open your hands and arms out, and I will now do the rest." Clad asked for one last favor before continuing on with, the formation of an Amis.
As he closed his eyes, dark and purple dust began forming around him, onto his hands, and it seemed terribly frightening.
"A psyche huh?" Clad said, seeing the fully formed purple curving weapon of death right infront of Drace's smirk.
"This will do just fine." He said, like he already knew the weapon he'll receive, as if his personality wouldn't tell him otherwise.
As he walked off, and the crowd of Cleaners began to whisper once more, Clad whispered in Drace's ear, something that made him grin in front of hundreds of Cleaners. However, it felt like I was the only one that noticed it, something that made him more frightening than before. Who exactly is this man?
One by one, Cleaners continued getting called up, each holding their unique weapon, whether it would be a bat, a sword, a katana, a bow, and even a mop, they each held their perks, with skillsets still yet to be used through the source of every Amis. Amora.
And then… It was my turn.
"Chris Jackson!"
I began walking, squishing through the hoard of blues, as I couldn't see what's ahead of me, only this enormous crowd, but I knew where to go.
As I began making my final steps towards the center, where Clad wishes everyone to be to access their Amis, I became aware of one single thing. Each weapon held their own unique aura around it, each color different. But it wasn't for me to investigate, but it was for me to learn about my own Amis.
"Now Chris, if you may simply commute with what everyone else has been doing, that would be great."
I stood in the middle, face forward towards the crowd, and placed my arms out, like I was ready to receive some incredible weapon. Something to set my tale for good.
"That's weird, why isn't nothing forming?" Clad wondered out loud.
It's weird, almost as if I'm clearly a bum.
"Well Chris, unfortunately for you, it may be that you can't gain access to an Amis." Clad said, writing down something on his notes.
The crowd began laughing.
Drace held his psyche towards me from the crowd in the back, swarmed with beautiful women around his arms. And said, "He's a bum! Everyone, he can't access Amora even through an Amis!"
And yet, I would still beat the crap out of you at fifty percent.
"No! This can't be right! Please sir! I thought an Amis is accessible by anyone!" I begged, hoping he would give me one more chance, or do something to allow me to achieve an Amis.
"Yes, that's true." I grinned, hoping this would give me a chance, "However!" Clad yelled, silencing the laughing bunch, "Your personality can also block you from accessing an Amis. It can mean you don't need it. But ninety times out of one hundred, it means you're too weak to attract any."
Clad lifted his finger to the crowd, "Now go back to where you were originally. No worries, you'll still be enrolled here. Just, you'll be the laughing stock of the academy."
As the crowed laughed, declaring me nicknames I've never heard someone call me,
"Ahhh, he's just a lone wolf! What a poor guy!" A woman yelled beside Drace, as she clung his arm right in between her chest.
I heard someone call me 'the sheep who has gone astray.'
As I walked back, I looked down, and the face I had. Oh, I coudn't ever imagine what grin I must have.
Yes you heard me, I'm happy, I'm ecstatic this happened, this was simply all part of how it was supposed to play out. Vly already explained to me. Everything.
She already discovered way before, what they've been working on, an Amis. But I acted clueless, simply because I didn't want anybody figuring out about my secret technique.
As I continued walking back, I peeped Drace slightly, and he looked like the happiest man alive.
Well, in all honesty, I already knew I wasn't going to access an Amis.
No, it wasn't because I'm too weak. Neither was it because I'm too strong. But in truth, it's because, Vly figured out my soul is already connected with something else, maybe you can call it my Amis, but it doesn't hold those perks or skillset that come with one.
Now, you could be thinking, what it is, and when have I used it.
It's been right beside me all along.
The man who said I'm the sheep that has gone astray, is correct. I am.
But the shepard left ninety nine sheep to look for one. Oh no, there's no sheppard coming after me.
No, not at all, because I'm not a sheep.
Beware, for a wolf may come in sheep clothing.
Ever heard of that?
But I'm not going to hunt them, I'm simply, going to manipulate them.
I'll continue like this for a while, pretending I'm weak, until the time is right.
But for now me and my Joyburst will stay side by side.
"Hey Chris! I seen what happened, that's very unfortunate."
Oh, well, that's Emilia, it's my cue to leave!
Oh by the way, no body knows about this, it's kept between me and Vly.
