The Darkest Awakening Vol. 5

Season 8: 1# After Courses

Brad's POV

Tonight, the Zodiac heroes are going to hunt down for Dream. However, they have other things to do this afternoon like their extra courses. So let's see what our heroes are up to after their courses during lunch time.

Zach's POV

We met up with our teammates at lunch time before we go back to our dorms. We got our food and now we're sitting down on our usual seats in the cafeteria. I decided to ask Charlie on how his first day of 2nd year has been. Because he'll get used to the things he's new to.

Zach: So Charlie, how's your first day of 2nd year university?

Charlie D: It's going great, Foolish helped me with a lot of coding.

Noah B: Yup.

Zach: Good to hear.

Charlie D: So, what are we going to do today?

Zach: We're going to study with Mr. Tan about Zodiac history and then hunt for Dream.

Charlie D: We still have to study?

Maggie: Chill, it's just extra classes, we can take them anytime in the afternoon. Plus, these classes could be of good use for new Zodiac heroes like me.

Charlie D: Oh, I also wanted to show my powers too.

Tommy: You'll show them tonight.

Zach: So we'll just be in our dorms for a bit and at 3 pm, we'll head to Yuansu Park.

Charlie D: That's where you guys study Zodiac history?

Brandon: Yeah.

Noah B: Slimecicle, you're soon going to learn about what being a Zodiac hero is all about.

Charlie D: Yeah, I always wanted to be one.

After lunch, we walked from the cafeteria all the way to our dorms. The weather seemed nice today, students are roaming around the district and Yuansu park is empty as usual. As soon as we went back to the dorms, me and the other secondary school students immediately went to our rooms to change into casual clothes. After that, we went back to the common room.

Charlie D: Wait, why did you guys wear uniforms?

Zach: Secondary school students are required to wear them.

Charlie D: As in high school?

Zach: Yup.

Charlie D: What about the rest of us?

Niki: Slimecicle, we only get to wear them during special events.

Shawn: So, what are we going to do today?

Zach: Let's talk to Aren.

Charlie D: Who's Aren?

Zoe: A robot who guided us during Luke and Brad's era.

Charlie D: Who are these guys.

Kan: How many questions are you going to ask?

Luke: Kan, that's rude.

Charlie D: You're Luke, right?

Luke: Yeah, I am Luke. Not the Luke Hemmings Zoe mentioned.

We all sat down on our seats as I pushed the button on the table to call Aren. Aren picked up the call and started talking to us. I was so glad to see her today and it has been a month or two since we last called her.

Aren: Hello, heroes.

Zach: Hi Aren.

Aren: It's been a while. How have you been?
