Digimon Academy Chapters

Chapter Twenty One: The Crest of Strength

KYOI'S POV

I sat on the floor in the cafeteria. I saw a glimpse of white light reflecting off of something shiny.

Shielding my eyes, I stood and walked towards the item. I picked it up and saw what it was.

A tag.

I had seen Delaney wearing hers after the battle with Devimon +. It had a long string.

Usually I never wore jewelry, but it could make Seadramon digivolve to ultimate and mega. I pulled in on over my head and hid it under my white shirt.

I began walking for the door when three figures came through into the cafeteria. It was TK, Kari, and a kid I had seen at the beach a while back, Koji.

They were all panicked.

"Whoa. Every heard of knocking?!?" I asked.

Just because this was the cafeteria doesn't mean you barge in and almost hit me in the face.

"Not in here. Where are those two?!?" Kari asked.

It was younger Kari and TK, but they still seemed nervous and worried.

"Who?!?" I asked.

"Delaney and Koichi. They didn't come back to the dorms yesterday and still aren't here. Seen them?" Koji asked me.

I shook my head. "Nobody has. They could be anywhere in the Digital World!" TK said worriedly.

A rock above us shook violently. It became a silvery color and floated towards me.

It floated into my tag.

My crest!

I was wide-mouthed. This was nuts! How had the tag and crest not been activated?

"See you three later," I said as I headed back to the dorm.

I flopped down on my bed. No one was there. I held my tag and crest above my face. It spun on its string. I blinked. Mimi walked into the room.

She was nervous. "Have you seen Koichi and Delaney?!?" she asked.

"It's like that's everyone's name! No!" I exclaimed back.

"You found your crest?!?"

"Yeah. Where's Izzy? He can tell me what it means."

"History room."

I got up and walked there. Classes had been cancelled up until next week. Why would Izzy be in the history room?!?

I walked through the door to see Izzy, Tentomon, Sorcermon, Gennai, and Geneveive. No one had noticed me yet, so I heard something Genevieve wished I hadn't.

"Wait a moment. You're Gennai's daughter, Genevieve?!?" Izzy asked. Genevieve nodded.

"WHAT THE HECK?!?" I asked suddenly.

Now aware of my presence, Genevieve walked up to me and put her finger in my face. "Not a word to anyone, got it?"

I was surprised. Usually she was cool and calm, not wild and threatening.

Heck, that's me!

"Okay! Chill it, kid!"

Genevieve was clearly irritated by my comment and walked out of the room, hair flying behind her.

I realized she had a streak of hair that was a different color. I later heard it was red.

Whatever that looks like!

"Hey, Izzy. I found my crest and I want you to tell me what it means," I told the red haired boy who had witnessed Genevieve's attitude burst.

"Let me see it."

I removed my crest and handed it to my friend.

"Strength."

He gave me my crest and I put it around my neck once again. "Thanks!" I exclaimed as I walked out of the door.

Time to show Seadramon.
