"One of the strongest psychic power a Human had although his limitations, was the Power to believe. If one believed he could free the world, and he did everything for it, he succeeded. One never stands alone."

Part 2:

2 days later...

Monday, Day 3

7AM.
It was Monday, the start of the week.
This was a important day for both Cornelius and his mother...

"Cornelius, wake up! Get your things ready, we're leaving on 8am!" she said.

Cornelius woke up slowly. In a daze, he looked around, and then fixed on where he was, before stepping out.

He began to get his clothes on, and when he was fully dressed, with shoes on and everything, he asked:

"When is Dad coming home?"

"I don't know, but I think he'd be here soon..." Sonja said with a sigh...

"Why is he always away?"

"He's making money for us, so we could live here..."

"Come, we must get ready. Your first day on school is important. The first look counts."

A half hour later, they were ready. Cornelius had his own backpack, and his mother walked to the elevator, scanning the card, the eyes and the fingertips.

"Granted. Please walk in now." The elevator said.

The door opened, and they stepped in. soon, the elevator moved quickly down.

Once they hit the surface, the door opened, and a man walked in, while they moved out.

They walked out of the large corridor that they entered two days ago, and walked to a taxi.

"Destination?" the computer said while they stepped in.

"Soter." She said, clear.

"Acknowledged. Please stand by." The taxi computer said, while it calculated the road to take.

While they passed street for street, the enlightened sign boards passed fast, while hundreds of people walked over the streets doing their thing. Above them were the anti-gravity cars, who followed a uncontrolled pattern, formed by landing pads on huge buildings.

Suddenly, they approached a tunnel, that lead to various locations. Like tree branches, multiplying roads leading to various objectives.

The sound now began to ricochet back once they entered the tunnel.
Sounds were magnified x2, and it was a opportunity to hear how the motor was heard from outside.

The taxi was only the usual, four-doors car with cheap leather suits, but it was more luxe than on many colonies, and what is called cheap and usual here, is called extravagant and super luxurious on other colonies.

Once they ascended from the tunnel, the whole city looked different. A really huge building now was at a exact 12 o clock stance, while other huge companies owned the other really huge buildings.

"Objective in sight, please pack your bags." The simple computer said.

"Okay, were here, little man." Sonja said, with a sigh.

Soon after, the car moved into a underground parking lot, which was very clean as well.

The doors opened, and they stepped out. The car right away descended from the sight, and quickly drove out, like a madman.

They walked to a elevator, that shined out blue light.

"Welcome to Soter Education and Training. Please enter your objective, please."

"Soter Main Hall, please." Sonja said.

"Affirmative. Voice recognition is a success." The computer said.

They soon ascended up to the Main Hall.

The doors opened, and the luxury that lurked was immense.
As a Class A++ Building, it was one of the most luxurious buildings in the city.
The floor was laid in with plate gold, the ceiling was painted by the best artists of the city, the walls were plate silver with reinforced steel and more alloys, making it almost invincible and beautiful.
The counters were laid in with silver, and had golden grades on them.

Other metals were seen in everything, as pure diamond was laid in silver reinforced windows, while all glasses were pure crystal.

They walked to the main counter, in the middle of the Main Hall, just in front of a huge pillar. Many children made their way through the main hall themselves, oriented as they were.

Some asked their way, or were talking to their friends. Only few had a parent with them, even on this first day.

"Welcome to Soter Educations! The women said at the check in counter of Soter Main Hall.
"What is your name?"

"Sonja Kythera and Cornelius Kythera." Sonja said.

"Kythera...Yes, I see, Cornelius Kythera, to have the first day...today." The women said, while typing in the information.

"Okay, Join that group of new students over there," the women said, while she pointed at a group of approx 30 students around the age of 6-7. "While I enter the information." She finished.

"they turned around and walked away, after saying 'goodbye' to the friendly women at the counter.

"Good luck, son, I'll see you in about a week." Sonja said.

"A Week?" he said, expecting to see his mother every day after school.

"Yes, my son...I can't do anything about it...And you don't have to look at me that way, this is the best education in the whole galaxy!" she said, while she crouched down before him.

"I know how it's like, my son, but now you have to do it, to use the talents you might have in you! You are my son, and the only one. The rest of those 3 billion are not, only you. I try to find the best for you..." she said.

"Go now... I'll see you in a week..." she said.

He looked up again, and wiped away his tears, and hugged his mother, before walking to the group of other kids.

"That's my son...good luck..." she thought, while she looked how he walked to the others.

She turned around, peeked back once, and walked away.

"Be strong in the path that lies before you...my son..."she thought.
