Once the five students had heard their names being called up, each of them started to walk to the front were Griff was standing.
Including Quinn and Vorden, there was another boy named Peter. Peter looked more nervous than anyone there, he would constantly look around him and couldn’t stop fidgeting. His body frame was quite small but it suited him, for he wasn’t that tall either.
Then there were the two girls Named Layla and Erin. Layla had short brown hair and a tall figure. On her back, she was carrying a bow which surprised Quinn, for not many people carried a weapon these days apart from a specific group of people called Pure.
They were a group of people who chose to not have any abilities and used weapons instead but they were still very rare and Quinn had never met anyone like that in his life, only heard stories about them.
Finally, there was Erin. Erin was the type of girl that turned all of the boy’s heads. Her proportions were perfect, not too big not too small and she had beautiful long blonde hair. The only problem was her facial expressions. Even when walking through the crowds of people, not once did her expression change. It stayed stiff and neutral.
As Quinn was walking past everyone, he noticed that he didn’t recognize one student there and it seemed like the others didn’t either. Quinn could only assume that this was done on purpose. No one knew who to befriend or who to look out for because currently, everyone’s power level displayed 1.
The group had stopped just behind another group who were being transported to the testing area.
As soon as Vorden saw the others who were in the same group, Vordan greeted each one of them with a handshake. Vorden was being very polite so most of them accepted his greetings apart from Erin.
She merely stared at Vordan’s hand when he offered it out to her, then she turned her head and looked away.
"Come on you don’t have to be like that?" Vordan said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
This was a big mistake. In an instant, Erin grabbed Vordan’s wrist and twisted his hand. Then slowly his hand was starting to freeze and cover in ice.
Everyone stopped to look at the commotion that was happening near the front.
"Wow, she has ice abilities?"
"Isn’t that very Rare?"
"I would let her freeze me any day."
Griff noticed the commotion and started to intervene.
"Stop it you two, if you have that much energy then save it for the test."
Erin immediately let go of Vordan’s hand and slowly, Vordan’s hand started to defrost. Vordan then went back in line to stand next to Quinn.
"Can you believe her!" Vordan complained, "I nearly lost my hand."
"You can’t just go around touching people without their permission," Quinn replied.
"Yeah I know, she’s lucky I didn’t wipe the floor with her just cause she’s a pretty girl."
Many people who were near the front had heard Vordan’s word and had already decided to make him an enemy. If they could somehow humiliate Vordan, then maybe Erin would look the way they thought.
Looking at the people around them, Quinn could tell what the others were thinking. Quinn then stepped one step away from Vordan hoping that others wouldn’t think the two were friends.
