Chapter 12 Take Two
"Now that there is a lot of hidden potential." A wry laugh echoed through the room followed by some gulping. It seemed whoever was trying to laugh had choked up and was trying to calm himself down by taking some water. The mysterious man took his seat back in his office. Before placing a cup on the table. He was watching the eventful morning show at the canteen through the monitor in his office.He gave the order for the trooper present in the canteen not to interfere with the matter and from what had happened his guess was correct. Kai Halsten surely had powers that lay hidden, he just needed someone to act as a catalyst to be able to use them.

Kai's receding footsteps echoed through the empty hallway leading to the dorm where he stayed. He seemed to be in a hurry, the sizzling sounds coming from his back made matters only worse for him. He swore to run if not for the, "DO NOT RUN, WET FLOOR!" Sign that was open just by the entrance to the dormitory.
Kai quickly shut the door behind him as he entered his dorm, making sure it was locked securely before rushing over to his bed. He took off his uniform, placing it on the bed before walking over to the reflective window. He smelt burnt skin, his back ached from the feeling.
'What is that?' Kai thought as he tried to use his hand to reach for the new mark he had on his back, but failed since the mark was far into his back and could only be observed. He had no previous marks on him before this morning and now he was growing one. It looked like a scale but had a wrinkle-hard old look accompanied by its red color.
'Am I growing scales?' Fear was slowly growing inside of him.
A light knock came from the door bringing Kai back from his thoughts. "Just give me a minute," Kai replied at the knock. He quickly picked up his uniform, putting it on before going to check on who was at the door.
The knock came again before Kai opened up. It was Annika.
"Oh! Great, you're alright!" Annika said as Kai came out of the dorm.
"Why shouldn't I be?" Kai answered back at her harshly. He didn't know why, but he hated the Randi family. "You know you shouldn't be here, this could get us, me, in trouble."
Annika trailed behind Kai observing him as they walked out of the dormitory.
"We've been asked to gather at the training hall, that's all."
"Lead the way then," Kai said as he stopped gesturing at Annika to take the lead with his hands. "After you."

"Welcome to Assembly recruits." Sergeant Valkyrie's voice came from the speakers that hung from the walls inside the hall.
Annika and Kai walked over to where their team sat, Frode and Ingrid were present but it seemed Erik had more important people to be with so he wasn't seated together with the team.
"The big man is back!" Frode said happily as Kai took a seat.
"Now, take your seats every according to your team." Sergeant Valkyrie said. This caused the hall to become rowdy as everyone
Kai sighed sadly as he got out of the Chamber. "That will be all for today." Sergeant Valkyrie said before leaving the team.
A lot ran through Kai's thoughts. Since it was the end of the day already he decided to visit the study repository the next day.
