Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The meaning of life that had been hidden from me

Prologue: IQ is the fundamental logic which we are taught from early childhood. Examples are things such as: washing, cooking, learning, and reading. All this falls under: home learning, the experience, would likely be at school or in some real cases, you would home school. 

"Then, why did they send me here? What was their reason?

Introduction: 

In this world, the only thing that matters is your: energy output. Or as others like to call it your elemental capabilities. In this world, people are born with what we call: bending powers. As in the ability to manipulate the 9 elements of nature. Which are: water, fire, air, earth, shadow, light, energy, snow, crystal bending. 

"But like in any other world, this world is full of darkness!"

As I sat in the bus, I happened to encounter a rather strange incident, a lovely old woman was struggling to find a seat in the bus I was shipped into. She looked around the ages 60-70 years old but she had no one accompanying her. Was she left alone like me? No, this doesn't concern you, so stay out of this Richard Stark.

"Well, it is not like anyone is doing anything anyway. Might well as, leave it to the lovely young woman in the bus." I murmured deep under my breath. 

"Please can you hand your seat to this old woman please!" A young girl on the bus said. 

"No, I am not going to leave my seat for her, you can't possibly think that my perfect existence should stand with lower civilians like yourself!" The man, she spoke to brushed her off with those words. 

"Ahh! I can't believe I am about to do this."

With that, I silently raised up my hand and made my decision precisely. Judging by the glances everyone was giving me. The decision had already been made, I was the person who would hand their seat to the old woman. 

Why do everyone expect me to solve everything, in all honesty I was tired of being treated as a person who just takes care of everything. 

"She can have my seat if that is not a problem, or if she likes to sit near the door, you know if she wants to get out on her stop. In that case the man would sit on my seat and she would sit on his." I said. 

By making two choices, they had to go with either one, this also helps me to know who to be friendly around and who to be cautious about. As of now, there are 4 student wearing the same uniform I did. The girl who was trying to help the old woman, the boy she spoke to, a girl I happened to glanced at, and finally a boy with long blonde hair, similar to the boy with those harsh words. 

If I had to judge, the girl who helped her would be the likeliest to have a casual conversation with but still I might be cautious of everyone. Because, no one must know about my past, not now not ever. 

Around 40 long minutes later, we finally arrived at 'Nation Intellectual Grove Academy'. An academy, separated from the rest of the world or Canada to be precise. This school was built by the government, which makes it one of the best schools in the world. In this institution, they provide all kinds of programs that help students learn about their powers. Or in other cases to fight monsters that rarely show up to the surface of the earth. 

Monsters are creatures that eat humans for their evolution, when they consume a human their power involves drastically. The only thing that makes us safe are our bending abilities, which if you train with it helps you become stronger every time. 

We all stood from the bus and got out, for me I took a different route from the others. Choosing to have my own peace of mind. 

"Hey, I noticed you staring at me back on the bus, do you have any particular reason for doing that?" She asked. 

"Ahmm! I was wondering why a lovely girl like you wouldn't hand your seat to that old lady. Wasn't it the right thing to do for you?" I asked curiously.

"It wasn't part of my concern, so why would I care?" She asked back at me. 

So, she has an inferior complex. She strongly believes she is strong enough to handle every situation. Well, looks like I might be lucky and might not have to take care of everyone. 

"Sorry to have you waste your time with me." I said and left immediately. 

From there, I left for the dorms where many students had gathered. Their reasons were; the collecting of their dorm keys. In this school, every student has their own dorm room, credit card, bending, which is printed on both your dorm key card, and your credit card. This keeps them from being stolen. 

Bending powers can also come in rare cases: like for example, if you were born exactly 12 am in midnight. You could gain the ability to bend both fire and water, but that only comes when your parents are fire and water benders. Or in other cases; you would be born with energy bending, then gain one of your parents elemental abilities. But, these all come in rare cases. 

I walked up to the student body and showed him my student acceptance letter. Then I showed him my hand, he stared into my palms and wrote my elemental abilities in a sheet of paper. 

"Here you go, rare one!" He said as he smirked. 

That honestly gave me a bad feeling but I had to ignore it. Taking the key card from his hands, I walked straight to the elevator and pressed on the 1st floor bottom. It opened but one person also stood in, the girl from the bus. 

"Oh! It is you the boy who gave his seat to that old lady, right!" She said as a bright smile appeared on her face. 

"Yeah, it is me." 

"Thank you for your good deed." She exclaimed. 

"There is no need to thank me, in fact you should take some of the glory. You did find her a seat at the end of the day." 

"No, oh! Sorry but this is my floor, I hope to see you soon." She said as she got out of the elevator. 

"Floor 5, huh!"

My floor was 8, 3 floor difference. The elevator finally reached the desired floor. I got out and immediately opened my door. 

"I'm tired, I am going to sleep for a while!" I said as I dozed off.
