"Good morning everyone!" Ge threw his hands in the air and he was welcomed with a warm and loud 'good morning" from the Mentalists.
"As we all know, today is Nico's trial!" There was a quick cheer and and clapping from the crowd as everyone's eyes averted to where I was standing. "So without further ado, let's get going!" With his last words, everyone departed. All looking very busy at tables large with black books, and some looking like they were battling and other practicing abilities on dummies or behind a glass wall, with spectators looking in and marking things in their own black books.
"Right!" Ge approached us, rubbing his hands together in eager excitement "let's get started!"
First of all we just talked, he asked me questions about my powers and abilities. I couldn't see how some of them were related to the mentalist. Half way through Mr Lang interrupted me
"Sorry Nico, but how do you know how to answer?" I just stared back at him.
"What do you mean, I'm just responding to Ge's questions-" I looked from Mr Lang to Geoffrey in confusion and Mr Lang did the same between Ge and myself. But Ge just laughed
"He's talking about the fact that I haven't been asking the questions out loud for the last five minutes." We both looked at Ge in awe. He got up and started to pace "you've been reading my mind and answering the questions I was thinking before I even said them." I broke into a grin and Mr Lang took to scribbling Ge's whole sentence onto the assessment page.
"I didn't know you could do that Nico!" Mr Lang patted my back
"I did." Ge and I said in synch "He's been picking it up from the rest of the segment and from me. He's an exceptional learner and has a brilliant aptitude for this segment!" Ge continued, he hand on my shoulder like a proud father.
Mr Lang was looking unbelievably impressed.
"So, let's move on to the tournament part of things!" Geoffrey's hands clapped together and broke Mr Lang out of his one way blinking contest with me

He locked me behind the glass wall and turned on the simulator. I couldn't hear them, I could only see their mouths moving. Mr Lang was looking intently at Ge and talking continuously, he looked furious. But Ge busied himself with switches and instalments on the simulator, not meeting Mr Lang's glare. But after finishing tapping in the commands, he looked up at Mr Lang and said something sternly which shut the older man up. They still looked uncomfortable being alone together as I stood in the simulator.
But suddenly none of that mattered as Ge appeared at the other end of the tournament simulator room.
"Ge?" I asked but it didn't respond, I looked to my right and saw Ge and Mr Lang in conversation. I got my game head of and saw a dummy, I didn't see my 'boyfriend'. I went to lift my arm but I was still, my body was frozen. I could feel my opponents eyes on me, holding me still just like
Ge had once done...
But then I remember I wasn't just a regular student, I was 'the brand new toy'. So I relaxed the muscles that were tense with resistance and the effect wore off and I shadow traveled and landed behind my opponent, in a moment of light-headedness I grabbed the sides of the opponents head and snapped his neck.
I walked back to the wall and pressed the intercom
"Can I come out yet?" But Ge and Mr Lang were stunned, their mouths open and eyes wide, Ge pressed the release button.
"Was that okay? I mean I know I wasn't supposed to kill it but I knew it wasn't s real person so it wouldn't matter." I was looking from Mr Lang to Ge, who were still silent and motionless.
"Uhm, hello?" I waved a hand in front of their eyes.
"Nico, THAT WAS AWESOME!" Ge suddenly sprang and hugged me so tight and lifted me off the ground and twirled around!
"GE!" I yelled nervously as he praised my work "can you put me down now!" My voice scared. He popped me down again but held his hands on my shoulders
"Do you know what you just did?" He asked, jumping no up and down "you just beat me! ME!" I'd never seen Ge get so hysterical before, he was usually so well put together
"Yeah, big deal? I beat Glen too." My voice flat and bored
"YOU DID?" With that he began springing again "everyone was right you are the new toy!"
"I'm guessing that's a ten then?" I asked nervously looking at Mr Lang who was still scribbling in awe
"A TEN? Goodness I'd give him a 50 if I could!" Ge was still thrilled, leaping around and squeaking slightly.
Just then I felt someone at my shoulder, I looked over at Mr Lang who was submerged in his work, I turned to see a tall dark skinned girl, her face was sharp and her hair was slicked back into a perfect ponytail
"What did you do?" She didn't look at me as she spoke just at Ge, her accent was foreign I just could place it
"I beat his simulation" I said , observing her carefully, I'd never seen her at breakfast before which would explain her supermodel figure, she still didn't look at me
"How?" Her voice was only about a degree warmer, but I could sense it
"I killed him" only now did she look down at my me, but my eyes were fixed on Ge. He was crazy!
"Nice!" She grinned a little and then sighed, looking back at Geoffrey
"Excuse me." She said quickly, and began striding out in heels longer than my upper arm. She walked up to Ge, whom she was only a little taller than, and placed her slider arms around his frame, leading him away from the frightened first year mentalists.
"Did you see it?" I could her him ramble "it was fantastic, he did it in like two seconds! Absolutely brilliant!"
"I'm sure it was sweetie!" She was smiling at him, in a way a wife smiles at her husbands joke that she's hear a million times.
"Have you met him?" He was gesturing to me now
"Briefly" she relied flatly, regarding me coldly as they approached
"Nico! I want you to meet Mathia (pronounced Mat-ia) , she is our french exchange student and is also my best friend!" He planted a big kiss on her cheek, but Mathia just wiped it off with the back of her hand. French, that's the accent, but it wasn't pure I could tell
"Bonjour!" She extended her hand and I shook it
"French Canadian, right?" She did a double take and smiled, genuinely this times
"Yes, how did you know?" Her expression was puzzled
"I've got a thing for accents!" I looked back at Mr Lang who was now, looking back at me. His face expressionless.
