Neo Vol.1: The New Beginning

Chapter 2: Extraordinary

Neo and the man brought back the bag to the lady. The lady gave him a necklace as a sign of gratitude. Neo and the man left.

Where are we going mister? , Neo asked.

We will go to an extraordinary place, the man answered.

Extraordinary? What makes that place extraordinary?

Later, when we arrive, you'll know.

The man held Neo and then in a blink of an eye, they vanished, and arrived in their destination. It is a cavern with minimal light coming from tiny holes bored in the upper portion of the cavern. It has rocky surface and is very wide. You can hear drops of water somewhere near. You can also hear bats squeaking as they fly to the enormous cave. Its a very unusual place for an ordinary person to live.

That's very cool! How did you do that? , Neo asked out of amazement.

It's "Teleportation", the man answered. (Note: " " will be used to signify name of techniques)

Can I also do it? Can you teach me?

Well, maybe, the big question is whether you are capable of learning it. It is a combination of four micro skills namely Concentration, Ignition, Rapidness and Transmission.

Micro skills?

Micro skills are the basic skills in learning how to use an extraordinary technique like " Teleportation ". As we go on our training, you'll learn what are the micro skills.

Now I got it. I'm really excited to learn it all. After that, I'll never be late in school or in any gatherings. I will go anywhere I want anytime.

You cannot do that because this technique consumes a lot of aura. If you run out of aura you'll faint due to overfatigue and won't wake up until you recover. In my case, I can only use it once a day.

In your case, I don't know how many times you can use it because your black aura is very powerful, the man thought.

From now on, you'll be my mentor. Let's start our training master, Neo pursuantly said.

Before that let me introduce you to my comrades. They are extraordinary just like us. The one who wears the dark cloak and hood is Shadow Manipulator, the master of shadows, and the muscular one who wears a mask is Berserker Breaker, the one who have a raging strength. Last but not the least, our leader Chaos Culprit, the man with unknown identity. Having the same aura as yours. Being the leader he must not show himself because..., the man stopped talking.

I can't see him. I can only see his silhouette, Neo said.

The man felt pain inside his body. He spits blood.

What happened master?, asked by Neo.

I'm fine. I think I have overused my aura using " Teleportation ".

Just have a rest master. Anyway, they are so cool. But why are they hiding their identities?

It is for safety reasons.

But no one will ever see them in a place like this, unless they are also extraordinary.

Maybe they do not trust you yet.

I can feel that something bad is coming, the man thought.

~What are their true identities?
