Thank you for reading my book, Yellow Sun Academy. I hope the new chapter brought a bit of delight to your day. Thank you again.
Shocker:"In the Wild," Professor Double Hits says, looking at all of us students. "You must always be ready to rely on your partners."The Professor, a tall, built man with a white headband tied around his head then stomps his foot. The sound is so loud it gets all our attention and makes us look right at him."Your partners, your team must know that you are reliable, that you are dependable, and that you will not let them down!"The Professor stomps his foot again. The sound is so loud some students have to slam their hands against their ears."You and your team must be a well-oiled machine," the Professor states. "You must work in unison. You must work together. You and your team must be able to move as one and fight as one. That is why we are here."Professor Double Hit stomps his foot twice this time. He then raises his arms high in the air before stepping to the side and showing us the academy's private arena.Y
Hothead:Bursting through the doors, I look around the nurse's station and find Shocker sitting on the bed with his team around him."Shocker," I yell, running toward him. Shoving and pushing his team to the side, I grab his arm and examine it. Groaning slightly as I pick it up, I let out a chuckle."Sorry about that, but are you okay?"Shocker nods his head."He's fine," Jump says, pushing me out of the way. "You're fine, right?"Again, Shocker nods his head."Oh, man," I say, wiping sweat beads from my forehead. "I can't tell you how worried we were when we heard a predalion bit you.""I can't believe a predalion bit you in the first place," Jump says. "Yellow Sun Academy had predalions?""Of course Yellow Sun has predalions," Alodia says, walking in with Renee behind her. "It said in the brochure they keep animals here for training. ""Brochure," I repeat. "You got a brochure?""Yes. Did
Jump:"Hmm," Headmaster Noah says. He and Assistant Headmistress Amaya stop and look at the wall in front of them. Stepping forward, Headmaster Noah reaches out and grabs his arrow. He pulls it from the wall and slides it back into his quiver. Lowering his head, Headmaster Noah drops to one of his knees and rubs his fingers against the floor."Someone was here," Headmaster Noah states, looking at his fingers."Here," Assistant Headmistress Amaya asks. "Impossible. All students are supposed to be in their rooms. Curfew started three hours ago.""Just because curfew starts doesn't mean everyone goes to sleep."Standing back up, Headmaster Noah looks around. He looks in my direction and I try to push myself even deeper into the shadow.Looking in my direction for a little longer, he then looks down. Looking around some more, Headmaster Noah finally stops."Forget what you heard," Headmaster Noah yells, his voice echoing
Clementine Mira:"This is all you will need to make a tourniquet," Professor Hadley says, picking and holding up a piece of string.We all look at each other, wondering if what Professor Hadley said is true."Hey," Honey says, covering her mouth and leaning in close. "What's a tourniquet?""A tourniquet is anything used to stop or slow blood flow," I answer. "It's used often when someone is badly cut.""How do you know," Chadd asks."When I was a novice fighter, I took a lot of classes in medicine and medical training.""Also," Honey says. "So this must be, like, review for you. Awesome! We got this!"Honey smiles and punches her palm."Uhhh," I say, moaning before clearing my throat. "I don't know if it would be that simple. Yes, I did take classes but it has been a while. I doubt I remember everything."Looking down at the medicine supplies on the table in front of us, I feel someone tapping on
Jump:"The government had asked for our assistance again," Headmaster Noah said. "The animals have attacked three cities. The fighters managed to force them back but were badly wounded. If the animals attack again, they can't do anything. Forget what you heard. This is a private conversation."I repeat what Headmaster Noah said over and over again in my head."What were Headmaster Noah and Headmistress Amaya talking about? Why is the government asking for Headmaster Noah's help? And what is this about animals attacking cities? That's nothing new! Animals are always attacking cities. That's why fighters exist. What's going on?"While trying my hardest to think what is or could be happening, I hear someone snapping their fingers."Hey," Hothead says, snapping his fingers. "Jump. Jump! Are you in there?""Ahh. Oh, hey Hothead. Sorry. Did you say something?""Yes," Hothead answers, nodding his h
Hothead:"Fingers crossed," I repeat, holding up my crossed fingers. "Fingers crossed. Finger crossed."I keep my eyes on the clock at the front of the class. I watch every tick of the hand as it moves closer and closer until finally, it reaches the number 12."15 minutes," I shout, shooting my hands into the air. "The Professor is 15 minutes late!"Everyone in the classroom, including my own teammates, looks at me as I shoot into the air."Okay," Jump says. She looks at Renee and Alodia before looking back up at me. "So?"Rolling my eyes, I sit back down on my chair and lean in."Don't you guys know," I ask. "About the 15-minute rule?""15-minute rule," Renee repeats."That's not an actual rule," Alodia says, looking at me rolling eyes. "That's just something slackers like you came up with to ditch class.""It is a rule," I say. "A real rule. If the teacher or professor has not arrived after 15 m
Professor Runn:Tapping my holo-display, I open the email Headmaster Noah sent, and a video starts playing."Attention all professors," he starts. In the video, I notice the headmaster is armed with his axe, a sword, and a bow with arrows. "Something is wrong with the academy's shield. They're failing."I turn my head and look out my window. The headmaster is right. The academy's shield flickers on and off, sparking, fizzling, and smoking. A few minutes later, the shield turns off and the academy is exposed."I already sent our engineers down below to fix the shield, but until then. Prepare for battle. Meet Headmistress Amaya and me at the courtyard."With that said, the video ends.Professor Double Hits:After the video ends, I don't waste a second and place my holo-display down. Turning around, I look over my wall of weapons. From end to end, I have various weaponry: melee weapons, range weapons, an
Hothead:"How is he," Headmaster Noah asks. Down on one knee and beside the professor who got stuck, he looks up at Professor Hadley."Canbury will be fine," Professor Hadley answers while putting her medical tools back in her bag. "His armor took most of the hit but the swarm still left him with a 1st degree burn.""Okay," Headmaster Noah says, nodding. "Get some veraweed from the infirmary. It'll help with the burn.""Of course," Professor Hadley says, getting up with her medical bag. While Professor Hadley rushes to get the medicine, Headmaster Noah gets up.We all watch from the side as the headmaster goes around, helping his professors. Seeing how busy he is with making sure all his professors are okay, I turn back to my friends and teammates."Maybe we should go," I whisper."Oh, now you want to go," Alodia quietly yells."Well, yeah. The swarms are gone. The danger had passed. No need for us anymore. Let
Headmaster Noah:"What do you mean Commander Wayne was right," Commander Antonio asks, slamming his fist down. Hearing his desk shaking as if it were right next to me, I keep calm and turn to Commander Wayne.Just getting back after checking the academy's shield generators, Headmistress Amaya wasted no time in preparing the emergency meeting with the other commanders and generals. When I entered the private meeting room and saw all their faces on the holographic screens, I immediately began the meeting."You were right," I repeat, speaking to Commander Wayne. "Something strange is happening in the Wild. Whatever it is, it's making the animals smarter, and friendly.""Friendly," General Luthor repeats. "What is that supposed to mean?""I mean predators aren't attacking prey anymore. Instead, they were working together to attack my professors and me.""That's impossible," Commander Antonio says.Turning to Commander Ant
