Trilay

Chapter Four

A few days had passed, and it was soon turn for Ben's entrance exam. It was more of an evaluation that the school did for foreign and/or last-minute students like himself. He had already been excepted into the school, but the school needed to know if he needed any extra guides to keep up with the rest. He wasn't going to the same high school as Xirce since it was such a prestigious institution that was way above his own academic level. Ben was instead sent to another good school that was near where he now lived. The school was known for being the one of the best in that part of the city and Arxiro did not settle for less. When they had that conversation, Ben really understood the worth of being as rich as his new family was. Arxiro also made the point that he didn't want Ben to go to any lesser school, just because he wasn't his biological son. Ben really appreciated that and felt like his had become closer to this new step-father of his in the past few days. He also felt a bit of pressure to succeed academically even if Arxiro had assured him otherwise. The last few days had gone toward studying for this exam. Ben didn't feel 100% positive, but he didn't think he would flop totally. He also got to do the test in Arikan, except the parts that tested his Centealien abilities.

Ben ate his breakfast alone that day as everyone else was gone. His mother had gone to her new office to great her new coworkers and to get shown around a bit before she was officially starting next week. Arxiro had a last-minute meeting this morning and Leviyu slept over at a friend's house. Ben hadn't really seen Xirce since the dinner they had gotten there, and he was ones again gone before Ben had gotten downstairs. Through Arxiro he had learned that Xirce was at his school coaching his Trilay team and looking through potential candidates for the main team this year. Ben didn't really understand it but being the captain for the Trilay team was serious business and apparently the one Xirce was on was like one of the best in the country. Students would apply for this school just to be on the team or something.

Ben was driven to the school by one of the families' drivers in a very nice car. Going forward he was going to get to school by an air-scooter that Arxiro gifted him, something that suited Ben well. As he stepped out of the car, Ben looked up at the fancy school. It was large and modern with so many features. One downside of this school, that he had heard from Leviyu, was that the school didn't have a Trilay team, or it had one, but it struggled to even get enough members to make up a complete team and was just nonexcited in the high school Trilay world. Not that that mattered to Ben he didn't even know of the sport since a few days ago.

As he walked through the school he could see all different clubs practicing. The one that looked like it had the most activity was one with a sport that looked like tennis, but they played with two balls instead of one and there were six players on one team. The court also looked a bit bigger. There were both a girls and boys' team and they were practicing close by each other.

Ben followed the instructions he was given and after a while got to the reception. He went up to the reception and asked where he was supposed to go. After he gave his name he was directed to room 1015. He eventually found the room and went inside, after giving his information ones again. Inside the room where three other students. Two looked like they were from this country or a nearby country, while the last one had blue hair and therefore mostly likely from Eanel as that was a well-known trait for the people form there. No one else really had that specific hair color and it was a recessive gene making it so that is disappeared easily after a few generation.

Ben sat down on his designated spot and started the test when allowed. The test went okay, Ben thought, other then a few questions he managed to answer pretty confident on everything. Was it a top-grade answer? No, but it wasn't a fail either.

Before he was allowed to leave, he was transferred a file with a lot of forms and documents. Some where for him to fill out and others where just information of the school, rules, and guidelines for what he would need to go to the school. Stuff like a school uniform and gym clothes. The same driver as before picked him up and they drove back home.
