Stay! Away... from the sociopath

One: |: New Beginnings

It was the middle of Summer. Crepuscule Eve had resumed although a little late.

The multinational battle between the Demons and Phoenix was so strong it almost caused a world war. Fortunately, the matter was resolved early and the world of the supernatural could resume its duties at peace. Starting with the training school for Supernatural beings. Crepuscule Eve Academy.

Every three years, for an eighteen-month program, the academy accepts and trains all supernatural races to be better versions of themselves. All at a price. Each student must excel at whatever they do, at all costs.

Over a thousand people try out every three years for the eighteen-month self-development program but only a few hundred make it past the academy's high criteria.

And this period of eighteen months is going to be an interesting one.

Students of all races; Vampires, Dragons, Nymphs, Werewolves, Mermaids, Demons, Sorcerers...the list goes on- as long they possess a humanoid form, line up, excited at the school's huge entrances waiting to be checked in.

"I can't believe I got in after all those years of waiting..." Andrea, a vampire, excitedly tells her mother over the phone.

"I know big bro. I'm gonna make it this time around. No promises though." said Rhys, a dragon. "I'll try my best to be the better version of you and make it to the Air Force. Bye."

"I promise you, brother, I will find it." A female Vampire said.

Every student was excited. Because they knew what they faced to get in and they knew the honor they would receive when they graduate.

Crepuscule Eve Academy could be compared to the combination of Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford universities in the human realm. Imagine graduating first class from this institution.

"Attention, bright stars of tomorrow," said an old elf appearing on a big monitor screen. "First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for making it here-"

A girl under a black hood clapped. All eyes glared at her telling her to keep shut. She ignored them and stopped clapping at her pace.

He saw her and then hid. He remembered when they met but couldn't tell if she did. But for his safety, he hid.

"Yes. A very huge achievement." the elf said, then cleared his throat and continued. "My name is Edmund Clover and I'm your instructor for your first semester. I'm well certain you are abreast with the school's rules and regulations and their penalties. They were stated clearly on our websites."

The assembly of students murmured in affirmation.

"Good. You will all receive your track bracelets. These bracelets will monitor your activities. All your wins and failures will be recorded. Your health status will be recorded. It will inform you of your next activity and when and where it takes place. In short, it keeps track of you thereby keeping you on track. All your records are being transmitted to our headquarters where we strictly monitor them. Therefore, you must not take them off."

Enchanted crystalline bracelets appeared on each person's wrist. If they were left-handed the bracelets appeared on their right arm and vice versa

"We know why we stated for ages nineteen to twenty-six years in the eligibility criteria. Because we believe you are adults. And we do not expect less. I know you all applied for different personal reasons. To achieve a dream or the other. To be the best you can be and reach the top with ease through the prominence of this academy. But you can only achieve that with hard work, discipline, and doggedness. And that's the only way to make it. So kudos to you, my young scholars. Your dorm rooms and map to your dorms are also inputted into those bracelets."
