Zyfford Academy

ZANAYA

I couldn't believe I’m already enrolled in this academy. The technology in this school was truly amazing and I couldn't wait to see what else I will discover inside it.

As I was on my way to the gate, I heard Ms. Dalia.

"We have 499 agents, Lenz."

She was talking to her fellow teacher who is called Lenz.

"Ms. Dalia, I think the Head Master's brother hasn't been able to enroll yet."

Upon saying that, someone approached them. He was ragged, wearing white long sleeves and pants. His hair was messy and there was a smile on his lips.

"Ms. Dalia, I think you forgot about me again," he drawled.

"You're on the five hundredth again, Mr. Zyfford."

"Don't you want that, I've maintained being Agent 500."

I could not see what happened next because a very obstinate being suddenly pulled me away.

"Zanzan, the program is about to start. Hurry up!"

Zanzan? Am I the one she was referring?

"As for you, you didn't say you were a Lopez."

I stopped so she also halted her steps.

"Why do you know the Lopez?"

She looked shock when I spoke but I didn't expect her to suddenly scream.

"OMG! Did I just hear your voice?"

I just stared at her as if she had gone crazy before walking towards the Gym where the others were waiting.

"The Lopez are very well known, your father is a great leader in the field of politics and your mother is a smart lawyer and business woman. So you think I couldn't recognize them?"

Of course, it's because of my parents.

We were now sitting in the Gym and listening to the boring orientation.

"Classes are divided into 3 sections, the lawyers, detectives, and the police. Each section is also divided into two, Sub-1 and Sub-2. The best students belong to Sub-1 while Sub-2 students are those who need special classes in order for them to cope with the Sub-1 students," the woman in front of us explained.

I don't care which Sub or section I belong to, as long as I'm here to hide.

"Now, in order to determine which section and sub you belong, you all need to undergo a simulation which is called 'The Sectioning Simulation'."

Undergo a simulation, huh? What kind of simulation is that? Why don't they just let us take an exam just like every other school out there?

"Zanzan, I'm already excited about the simulation. I heard, it's like you're in the real world when you're right there in the simulation tube," Arya gushed, obviously unable to hold back.

"We will start with agent No. 1. Ten agents shall proceed in the simulation room and you are only given 5 minutes to complete the tests," the woman added.

So, we have to wait for two hundred and fifty minutes.

"For those who are here waiting at the gym, a video clip tour around the academy will be played, and Mr. Ronie Reyes will explain it to you."

"Looks like we have to wait forever," Arya muttered under her breath.

I just ignored her and focused my attention on the video clip. It would be difficult to get lost in this vast academy. Who would have thought that at the end of the forest there was this large and very beautiful school waiting for me?

After waiting for two hours, we heard that robotic voice again.

"Agents 491 to 500, please proceed to the simulation room," the woman's voice echoed throughout the gym like a robot when speaking because of the attached speakers.

I yawned because of waiting for too long. I even stretch my arms due to sitting here for a long time.

"Thanks heavens! Let's go, Zan," Arya said then pulled me to the simulation room. I have no choice but to drift with her.

While walking, I glanced back because someone spoke.

"Yes, I'll be there. I just need to finish this freaking simulation test."

He's Agent 500 if I'm not mistaken. He seemed to have woken up from his slumber because he was still rubbing his eyes and his hair was still messy.

"I'll hang up now. Bye."

I immediately averted my gaze elsewhere because when he looked up, our eyes met unexpectedly.

"Tsk. Staring is rude, miss," he grumbled and he eyed me from the head to foot. I felt self-conscious by the way he stared at me and so I just ignored what he said and I entered the room because Arya was still dragging me.

Upon entering, we were greeted by ten glass tubes, lined up inside the room. We are immediately directed to go to our respective tubes.

"You may now enter," said the robotic voice.

And that was the start of my roller-coster like journey.
