KINETIC

"I'm an enforcer."

The Private writes something down on a piece of paper before reaching into a drawer below him. "Here, your room is number 12 on the 4th floor." He handed Leo a key with the number 12 engraved on it.

"Thank you for the assistance." Sir Thompson said. He then walked up the stairs and to the right. Leo, and the driver that has Leo's luggage, followed Sir Thompson.

Leo was thinking about the expression of the private, 'He seemed to be very displeased with me. Is it because I have an ability? Maybe he is jealous, or does he just dislike ability users?'

After the initial staircase, there was a hallway with several doors on the interior wall, while the exterior wall had only windows. Just before the hallway, there was another staircase leading further up.

The same pattern repeated until they reached the 4th floor of the academy. The hallways were mostly the same as the others, only there wasn't another staircase and the doors were all along the the wall that is connected to the exterior of the building.

The door closest to Leo currently, was room 1. Leo walked down the hallway with Sir Thompson. The doors were all numbered and they were going in ascending order.

The hallway turned to the right after they had passed a few rooms, and then turned right again just as they passed room 10. Two of the hallways were longer than the other, 'This building is shaped like a rectangle...'

Finally they reached Leo's room, 'I'm in room 12, but there's still another 8 or so doors after mine. At the very least there are 20 rooms on this floor. I wonder if the other floors have rooms as well, or if this floor is dedicated to accommodation.' Leo thought.

Sir Thompson stopped in front of the door and spoke, "This is where I must leave you. My orders were to deliver you to your room. I wish you the best of luck." Sir Thompson smiled and walked back towards the staircases. The driver placed Leo's luggage on the floor by the door and followed after Sir Thompson.

After they had turned around a corner and gone out of sight, Leo placed everything inside his storage ring. He then placed the key in the hole and tried unlocking the door to his room, but he found that it wasn't locked. 'That's strange, why would it be unlocked?' He opened the door.

Inside were three young men standing in the middle of the room talking. Each of them wearing the same uniform as Leo, only without a rope attached to theirs.

The room had a bed in each corner, along with a desk and chair next to each bed. At the foot of the beds were chests, only 1 chest still had a key in its lock.

'Nobody said anything about having roommates...' Leo was extremely annoyed by this, he had spent his whole life sharing a room with others. Since escaping the slave camp, he had been able to have his own room. It's something he had come to love.

It wasn't that he was incapable of sharing a room. He simply disliked that he had to do it, as well as the fact that nobody told him beforehand.

The three young men that were in the room, stopped their conversation when Leo walked in. They were all staring at him.

One of them walked towards Leo. All the boys were 16, according to Sir Thompson, just like Leo. This boy was 1.75 meters tall, he had blonde curly hair going over his ears and light blue eyes. He had a large build, but not much bigger than Leo.

He stretched out his hand towards Leo, "Hello, it seems we're all to be roommates while we are here. My name is Cain."

Leo shook Cain's hand. The other two walked forward as well and also shook Leo's hand. One of them was named John. While the other was Clay.

John was 1.5 meters tall, he has short blonde hair and brown eyes. He has a small figure. 'Is he really the same age as us? If all of them got taller like I did when awakening their abilities, then how short was he before that?' Leo thought. John seemed to be very shy, he looked down while shaking Leo's hand and spoke softly.

Clay had a lanky figure. He was 2 meters tall with green eyes and red hair so short that you could see his skalp. He looked down upon Leo from above with a gentle smile and shook Leo's hand with a strong grip.

Leo shook all their hands and only after did he speak, "I'm Leofalor. Can I assume that bed over there is for me?" Leo points towards the bed that's trunk still has its key.

Cain is the one to answer, "Yes... But, how did you know?" Leo walks over to the trunk and takes out the key, holding it up for them to see, "It's the only one with its key still in the trunk." said Leo.

Everyone's eyes go wide and this time Clay speaks up, "You have very good intuition and perception, it's impressive." The other two nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I suppose... So, I was told that this is my room immediately after I told the Private in the lobby what type of ability I used. Can I assume you are all the same type? Or are our rooms not organized that way?" Leo asks.

The three of them looked at each other, after a moment, Cain spoke up, "I don't know about the others, but I'm an Enforcer." He flexed his bicep while smiling, he was clearly proud to be an enforcer.

John stepped forward and spoke in a soft voice ,"I-I'm a conjurer." he then stepped back quickly behind the other two.

Clay smiled and shook his head at John's actions, seemingly finding it amusing. He spoke next, "I'm manipulator."

Leo nodded when each of them spoke, he then answered their silent question, "I see. I'm an enforcer like Cain. Seeing as you two are both different than us, I can assume that rather than place us with those of the same type, they've tried to spread us out."

Cain spoke again, "It seems that is the case. Well regardless of our abilities, I'm sure we can all get along well as roommates and potentially become friends going forward." He had a huge smile on his face as he said this.
