Omega Wars Chronicles

Chapter 2 / Episode 1: Never Enough

At the assembly hall , all the students has assembled before Zera and the other teachers as Zera has prepared to give her announcement.

"Good morning everyone." Zera said, "You've been assembled here to be informed that the Pilgrim candidate tournament will begin in a few weeks and because of that I want to encourage every student here to do their best in this tournament and the rumble of worth. These nine months of intense training for elites will truly show who and who have what it takes in strength and the representation of Agaroth and since the positions in becoming Pilgrims has become even tighter now that they are taking a few, that's the more reason you have to push harder."

"I must say I've become fond of some of the students here.." Zera said as she looks at Karma for a moment with a smile on her face .

"...And their progress, that's why I believe that none of you will disappoint us or Agaroth itself, so be strong, be determined, show us how worthy you are in the rumble of worth and prove that you deserve not only to be in the tournament but to be a pilgrim as well.. for Agaroth!!"

"For Agaroth! For Agaroth! FOR AGAROTH!!" All the students chanted while lifting up their fist and cheering.

Cloud being moved by the enthusiasm of the environment, gave a grin after the chant and cheer and began to speak within himself

"This is it, the chance to prove my worth. So mother, father and every deceased member of my tribe just wait..I'm going to keep my promise and become the first minor tribe member to become ... a Pilgrim!"

Zera spotted Cloud among the crowd and her smiling visage changed into a more serious and emotionless one.

"Oh and I also have to announce that Cloud won't be participating in the rumble nor the Pilgrim tournament."

A tiny murmuring occured among the students due to Zera's announcement and Cloud himself was surprised by this announcement.

"Huh... But why?!" Cloud asked

"Are you serious?" Zera asked.

Zera comes down from the pulpit and walks towards Cloud.

"You are the lowest among all the students here. One who should have even been given a D but out of pity we gave you a C. You have no talent, no kan and your combat senses are poor; you're practically a joke. You weren't present during the first five months of intense training where some of the students even lost their lives while some left because they could not handle the pressure...You came after these five months when the training became a bit mild, but you still barely survived and passed them,plus don't get me started on your performance in class..."

"But-" Cloud tries to cut in.

"Shut up!" Zera cuts back.

Zera's emotionless face changes to an angry face.

"Do you honestly believe you could compete with this type of performance? Are you from the Dreygar tribe? The Ripar tribe? The Tenplars? The Graundars? The Kenars? No, you're from the Stormwind; a mere tribe of hunting warriors that doesn't even posses a single kan... What are you going to do, pull a blade or any other type weapon to fight the others? Kan nullifies weapons, Cloud! The greater and powerful the weapons, the greater and more powerful the nullification! What else are you going to do? Use your fists? Please your strength and speed is a joke to the weakest kan user. Your mere presence is an insult to ..."

"Zera!" Zotek cuts in while being disgusted at her. "That's enough. Don't insult him because of his tribe. It's not-"

"I don't give a damn about his tribe!" Zera cuts back. "He needs to learn the truth. The harsh reality that he is nothing... Less than nothing and I'm the verge of throwing this mighty disgrace of a warrior's name out of this academy once and for all, which would make him the first student to be officially thrown out of this place by a teacher but i don't care ! Someone needs to put this white haired runt in his place."
