Jayden laid on his bed not minding the student that lay on the rug carpet soaked with his blood. There was a device given to all students to attach to their Mech Suits when they joined the School. The device was used to notify the teachers close by of a student that was in danger and they will be forced to rush to the students no matter what they were doing at the moment.

It took no longer than five minutes max to reach the scene and get the student to the clinic, and that made Jayden wonder why no teacher had arrived for about ten minutes since he had finished trashing the students.

"Maybe the signal isn't strong enough because we are on another planet." Jayden said.

'Nahshon'

[Yes]

'You didn't show me all what the Rogue Suit can do.'

[That was because of Nate's situation]

[There is something that I need to tell you when fighting other Mech Suit users]

'Ok'

[There wi...]

Just as Nahshon was about to say something very important, the door was flung wide open, and barging into the room was Sir Julius with a team of medical personels.

"Treat the injured." Sir Julius barked out orders before turning his attention to Jayden. "Mr Nova. Come with me."

Jayden got up from the comfort of his bed and followed Sir Julius out of the room, they took an elevator that dropped at a speed of about ten kmph, the weight of Jayden's Mech Suit made sure he didn't get lifted off the ground and gum the roof like a bug, though the descent still wasn't pleasant. They walked on a red carpeted hallway to get to a room on the far end of the two million roomed building. They walked for ten minutes, taking turns and curves. Jayden didn't sight a single soul throughout their 'Journey To The Other Side', he didn't get tired, but just kept following.

Sir Julius took a quick peek at Jayden to see him panting and hoping for them to stop soon, but he saw Jayden staring at everything with fascination in his eyes and smiling foolishly.

Who could blame him though, he activated Energy Sight –what he planned to call the skill he used to enhance his eyesight– with the lowest amount of energy he could fetch from the Creation Orb, and stared at the massive amount of energy he was seeing everywhere, normally, when he used Energy Sight without pulling back the amount of energy he used, he didn't see this amount of energy anywhere, but using it at the bare minimum and still seeing this huge amount of energy coursing even through the walls, he was shocked.

'I wonder what the source of all this energy is, perhaps a Legendary Tier Energy Orb or something else.' Jayden thought as he finally saw teacher Julius stop.

'Wait!! Didn't we pass this room already?' Jayden was perplexed, he recognized the door instantly the moment he saw the symbol of a human smirking while showing his middle finger.

'Was he trying to tire me out or what?'

Jayden looked at Sir Julius who just opened the door and gestured Jayden to walk in. Jayden didn't hesitate and entered unperturbed. Teacher Julius walked in after and closed the door behind him.

Inside, Jayden saw what looked like an office, it had a desk with a chair in front of it, there was another just across it that was more comfortable and looked lavish, it was where the owner of the office sat, facing away from the door and looking through the see through glass on the other side.

Down below Jayden could faintly see the outlines of the Cyclops walking about and doing their daily activities.

'Shit!! I didn't do my daily workout.'

[Don't worry]

[You will do every workout that you missed together]

'Wait, that will be too much to handle at once.'

[...]

Jayden was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of a person clearing their throat. Jayden glanced to his side and noticed, Teacher Deckard, Mr Tywane, Mr Wilson, Mr Vane, Mr Vincent, Miss Letticia, Sir Julius, Mr Rain, Miss Tacha, Sir Garrett, Teacher Oscar, and Teacher Glenn.

Three teachers each from the Violent Storm House, Fire Crackers House, Blessed Angels House and the Dark Dusk House respectively, stood there like expressionless wooden poles, except Teacher Deckard that kept smiling at Jayden and Mr vane that was deeply engrossed in picking his nose.

Jayden looked back at the chair in his front and saw the chair swiveling to reveal a middle aged man in a formal black suit, white shirt, black tie and a gold wristwatch. Something that was worn by old people who wanted to keep their old ways.

The man had a well trimmed black beard and mustache, sharp black eyebrows, black short hair and blue calm eyes. Jayden recognized this man from a glance.

"Hello Mr Nova." Principal Luka said. "Please take a sit."

Jayden obeyed instantly without any questions asked, he wasn't dumb enough to offend such a powerful figure, it was said that Principal Luka was the strongest human of the human race, he could deal with Lord tier beasts solo and come out with just a few injuries. Jayden knew that rumors may be sometimes exaggerated till the main truth was removed completely.

"I heard about what happened to your room mates, Lu Piao and Darius Rucker. The teachers received a signal that they were in grave danger and only Teacher Julius was the closest, so he got there in time.

Signals on this planet are monitored heavily, especially ours." Principal Luka chuckled and continued. "No race trusts us for some reasons we don't know."

Mr Vane listening uninterested, chuckled at that comment.

"Because of that, the signals take more time to get to its destination, and luckily for those two, teacher Julius arrived just in time, any second more and...."

Jayden fully understood what the Principal meant, he wondered the same when no one came in time to rescue the pathetic duo who were unfortunate enough to attack him.

"Darius only fainted, but Lu Piao looked to have been trampled on by a party of angry elephants. Mind telling us what happened?

Jayden stared at the principal for a moment arranging his thoughts, then after coming to a conclusion. He replied.

"He fell."
