*BELL RINGS*
"The lesson was very hard, I can't believe that there will be an exam tomorrow." Merlin said, while arranging the books in his bag.
"That's why I'm going to study. Do you want to come with us?" Cedric asked.
"Us? Are there others with us? Who are they?" Merlin questioned.
"Stop asking questions and just join, I'll introduce them to you right away." Cedric answered standing up on his seat.
Merlin and Cedric went out of their classroom and straight away entered the library. At the far end of the library was a wooden table with five chairs and in those five chairs there were three students sitting.
One is near the left side window, and two sitting at the back.
Merlin sits on the right chair, and Cedric sits next to him.
"So before we start, please introduce yourself to each other."
On the right back chair talks first.
"Hi, my name is Cass Vinclair."
She tucked a strand of her cherry red hair behind her ear while she spoke. Her eyes blue like sapphire, skin light like vanilla.
Next to her.
"My name is Jucious Rebmevon."
He said, giving a polite and warm smile. His hair is blonde like sand on the beach, skin light as warm beige and eyes light green like Emerald.
And lastly...
"Nathan Astriali is the name."
He spoke with a lazy grin, leaning his body on the chair. He had messy jet black hair, skin tan like almond, and eyes silver.

"Introduce yourself, It's your turn." Cedric said as he nudged Merlin with his elbow.
"My name is, Merlin Vaxian."
He said as he put his hands on his chest.
His eyes were deep blue like sea, skin tan as warm beige and short jet black hair.
"Let's start." Cedric said as he opened the book of Science at page 54, Lesson: Introduction to Chemistry.
"Do you remember what Ms. Oceania that we need to focus about?" Jucious asked.
"Anyone?" He continued, then he looked at Merlin who leans his head in his hand and was sleeping.
"Merlin,Merlin...Merlin!" Cass shouted her voice can be heard outside.
"Sorry, if I was sleeping, I'm just bored." Merlin said, covering his mouth as he yawns.
"You can't sleep, the exam is tomorrow." Nathan said, his body still leans on the chair.
"Really? said by someone who looks like who sleeps all the time." Merlin replied, raising his left eyebrow.
"We are in the library, you should already know the quote." Nathan said, as he moved his body to sit straight.
"Never judge a book by its cover." Cass said.
"It's an old quote yet it's very important."
"Stop talking and let's study!" Cedric snapped, closing the science book loudly.
"We haven't started yet. Are we going to study or not? Cause if we don't then I'm out." Cass said.
"It seems I'm the problem here." Merlin said, then he stood up from his chair and headed out.

Merlin walks and straight away goes to the canteen. He stood in line holding a tray on his hands.
After two minutes of waiting, it's finally his turn.
His eyes scan the food trays, choosing what food he wants.
"The food looks good." Merlin mumbled.
The food on the kitchen trays were meatball spaghetti, rice, sausages, hash brown, corn soup, omelet, pancakes, salad, chicken, chocolate brownies, crushed ice flavored juice like chocolate,melon, and coffee jelly.
Merlin chose rice, hash brown, corn soup, omelet, brownies and coffee jelly.
He sats on the chair and starts eating his food. While he was eating his eyes scanned the canteen and saw Ben eating fast then he stood up and went to the restroom.
Merlin finishes his food and puts his tray in the trash can then he soon follows Ben to the restroom. As soon as he arrives he hears something that he can't even believe.
"I failed the progression once again." Ben said.
"Try again for the last time. If you fail you know the consequences." Said by someone, tone deep in an echoing voice.
"I know, I'll try once again." Ben replied.
Then Merlin heard a little faint sound of continuous footsteps going near outside the restroom, but before Ben went out Merlin was already far away. Merlin sits on the chair where he was eating earlier he slightly looks at Ben who walks outside the canteen, then Merlin goes outside to follow him.
Merlin follows Ben in a very sneaky way, but little did he know Ben already anticipated this.
After continuous following,Ben walk straight ahead to the basement in the far end of the hallway on the first floor.
Merlin was mesmerized by what he had seen. He noticed the basement was perfectly square, surrounded by white walls with names scattered across it, then the floor he was standing on was gray tiles, and he saw Ben touch a specific part of the wall and on the left side the door slid open.
Ben goes to the door he had open, Merlin followed, walking down the stairs and there he saw Ben arm crossed with eye glasses glowing on the dark, waiting for him to go down.
"Where are we? Why it's so dark in here?" Merlin questioned.
"Before I ask your question why did you follow me?" Ben asked.
"Well... I thought you were.." Merlin stuttered, thinking of an excuse."I thought you were having an anxiety attack... But it's not that I experienced it, it's just I'm worried or some sort—" he continued.
"You over explained. None of it matters anymore, so answering your question, we are on the Capsule Project." Ben said as he clapped his hands then the room lit up with lights, showing countless massive capsules big enough for any ages to fit in to sleep.
"What in the world are we?" Merlin shocked to what he had seen, at the same time he was mesmerized.
"Follow me." Ben said. "We are on the Capsule Project, it's the term used for this room. If you have watched many space movies, a lot of characters there use time capsules to prevent them aging. This is the same but the different thing is we use this as our teleporter to different worlds. The question is...what world?"
'did he read my mind?' Merlin mused."One question, why are we here anyways?"
"Knowing that i anticipated you from coming here, there is much more you haven't known, in the near future, we would be annihilated by the others." Ben said as he gazed at Merlin.
'The others, Like The Principal once said.'
"I know what the others are. Someone already told that to me. What should I do?"
"Gather any possible person you can find in this school. And even across the worlds."
Ben paused for a second. "Create your team. It should not be random, as they possess what you guys have. Wishes."
"Wishes is the only clue to find them, and only requirement to join you."
Suddenly a metallic ball straight ahead hits Merlin in his sacred part. Merlin fall down to his knees to ease the pain. "Why?" He said groaning in pain. Then the metallic ball started showing a system.
"Create Your Team Name." Said in very robotic voice.
Merlin wrote the name.
"REM."
