《SYNCH : the contract formation》Chapter 4

In 5 weeks will begins the training, each year everyone between 15 and 21 years must participate in the training to learn how to control their powers. The first 3 years of training are entirely theoretical and last only 3 months per year, but the last 3 are years of practice and usually last 10 months per year.
It is illegal to use your powers to work without completing fully the practical training or in public spaces without the supervision of a person who has obtained a validation pass at the end of training.
Everyone at the age of 18 must therefore participate in the practical training that is done in specialized camp, no one has the right to use his powers in public spaces until they have finished at least the first year of practice training, even if they are under the supervision of a person with a pass.
This year it was Lily and Tony's turn to start their first year of practical training, they will leave for 10 months to one of the specialized camps of the region. Lily being a Class A healer and Tony a Class B magician, they were both considered prodigies and were recruited by one of the best camps in the state 'Zion' during their first year of practical training.
Being defective, Iris still had to participate in the theoretical training, but this year she was removed from the program for practical training being considered unfit for it.
Lily, Tony and iris finally made their way to the bus, after their supervisor had confirmed that their authorizations were signed. Iris sat by the window and Lily took the seat next to her, telling Tony to take the one behind her.
5 minutes later, the supervisor and his assistant joined them on the bus, they made sure that the class was in complete and then reported the departure to the driver.

After an hour and a half on the road, the bus arrived at the museum of rock where was exposed 'Lucy', it was the name of the stone of origin exhibited in Sindara. It was the third stone of origin discovered in the world. The bus crossed the first control barrier before arriving at a huge open parking, half full of several other buses and groups of people of all ages. Their bus parked and the supervisor got up to give some instructions.
"In a few minutes we will distribute you cards with a description of the stone 'Lucy' its origin and also the restrictions and rules to follow inside the museum, which you will have to read fully before entering the museum. Are we clear ?"
"Yes, sir" answered the students.
"Okay, everyone let's go"
Iris got off the bus and took the card distributed by the security service before heading to the entrance of the museum with her class. 'Strange' she thought, since getting off the bus, she felt like she had been covered by something she couldn't really describe. It was not uncomfortable but also not particularly pleasant.
"Do you feel that, Lily ?" asked Iris.
"What?"
"I don't know, like something around you."
"No, are you okay if you don't feel well I can tell the supervisor."
"No it's fine, it's probably fatigue"
"You're sure"
"Yes it's nothing, let's go"
It was finally her class's turn to enter the museum after 30 minutes waiting. From the outside, the museum looked like a normal modern building, similar to every other building in Sindara or rather to every other skyscraper, but the interior seemed to come straight out of a futuristic movie of the last millennium with its walls entirely white, the overpowering presence of glass, and the monotonous grey uniform of all the employees accentuating even more the sci-fi universe of the end of the 20th century movies that this place was giving.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
