Now something tells me I did something wrong. I am standing right next to my pod however something was missing. my world bridge online game was nowhere to be found. I am no idiot and just left the box somewhere. I couldn't feel any trace of the game box. the one in Fred's house was emitting a strong energy so it is very hard to miss.

I got into my pod even though it had no disk and entered the white void that is my game choice menu.

"World Bridge Online" I said slightly worried that I lost something important.

"There is no record of any game known as World Bridge Online. there is a World Gate Online and World War Online if you are interested in purchasing a copy" The computer AI is programmed to advertise games?

"No thanks. Console Off" I said exiting the pod... What is going on here? Is this because of that Team Flow incident?

"JACOB!!! It is 9 O'CLOCK ALREADY. TURN OFF THAT LOUD GAME THING OF YOURS ALREADY!!!" My mother shouted to me.

"I WAS TRYING TO CHECK A GAME MOM!!!" I replied with a warm loving smile.

"A GAME? I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE GOT THAT GAME FOR YOU" My mother said worried for my health.

I decided to just turn off the game and go to bed. I was anticipating tomorrow. I pictured many situations that had me encounter one of the team flow members. I doubted that I would get the advantage of taking them on one at a time and they would certainly be ready for me. Well no point in procrastinating any longer... zzzzzz

*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP* *Click*

I didn't even need to move to turn off the alarm clock. My power is very useful for when you are tired however I had to focus. Taking all of 9 seconds to get ready I left my room and prepared to leave the house.

"Breakfast" My mother said while grabbing my shoulder just before I left the house.... She is only looking out for me and she does a very good job of it. Even if she shouts some times.

After breakfast I went off to school and walked at a slow and calm pace. I could feel the bus as it moved to the bus stop and I knew exactly how fast I needed to move to catch the next bus... Hmm. I wonder which power is more useful. My Psychokinesis or my ESP. With my ESP alone I can see so much more then before and calculate many more variables in a plan. In fact with Psychokinesis alone I would have died already.... Its a tough decision...

I got on the bus and moved along peacefully to the school. It was sunny. Not to the level of being refreshing and peaceful but to the level of where the sun is constantly getting in your eyes and the area feels hot. I feel sorry for the guy sat next to me on this packed bus. he is sweating like crazy. Guess suits are not summer attire.

The final stretch... I looked upon the school with my ESP and sensed the presence of 4 Team Flow members. I cant sense the sniper... then again I guess that is his or her power. I can barely tell much about them other then the size of their brain. Then again that doesn't tell me much.

The moment of truth. I enter the classroom and see it mostly full.

"Sorry for being late" I said to Zack politely before moving to a seat in the middle of the class. Upon seeing me Zack directed some of his Mana into his phone.

"That is alight. You haven't missed much Jacob" Zack said with a false smile. I could feel the hostility behind it. I was waiting for something to change and I didn't have to wait long.

4 energies gathered around the room.

"Dark Zone" All 5 of them muttered at the same time. I heard it through my ESP however after that the sun went black instantly and in that instant I was surrounded by all 5 members. I remained seated. The moment I sense the sniper I knew it was to late. The barrel of the snipers gun was pointed firmly into the back of my head. I could have done something but they planned this through. in a 5 on 1 fight even with some weak participants the fight isn't a question of who wins but a question of how long can the 1 last.

"Jacob. We need to have a talk. Care to follow me?" Zack asked with a gun pointed directly at me.

"I am weighing my options" I said seriously as I looked around. I had set up a few things with my psychokinesis however my traps are all set out of the classroom. I would have happily started a fight however I noticed a worrying sight. My classmates were still here. Frozen in time however still here.

"Jacob. We don't want to be your enemy. As you may have guessed the World Bridge Online disk is gone and you have no idea how to get back there. Without that it would only be a matter of time before a hunter came and killed you for Gate Points" Zack said almost with a cocky smile on his face. I knew he was playing me yet at the same time he was right.

"And what do you want in exchange?" I asked cautiously.

"Join Team Flow" Zack said with a smile. So he was trying to recruit me? Doesn't explain nor excuse the near attempts on my life.

"... Not happening. You tried to kill me" I said angrily.

"You nearly killed us as well" Ayumi retorted.

"You started it" I said preparing my psychokinesis to deal with her hostile energy. The room went quiet from there.

"We apologise?" Zack said with absolute no intention of actually meaning his words.

"So. How did you know my name?" I asked innocently however.... not a single reply. I looked around at them for some sort of response.

"Nothing? This is my life on the line so you have to at least tell me how you know my name" I added yet there was still a long pause...

"You told us it yourself" Zack said to me looking slightly sad.

"I have never even met half of you..."

"When you created Team Flow" Zack interrupted me leaving me speechless... How? I have never played that game before and I saw the state Fred was left in when he forgot.

"Bullshit. I know literally everything that happened for entirety of my life" I said seriously.

"And in this world time itself stops" The Ninja girl added.

"Your point being that I forgot doing it? I saw the state someone who lost their gate points ends up in. I excepted a quest to help them yet I don't even know what I can do. I have nothing inside of me missing like Fred did.

"Are you sure? With all that intelligence you are missing nothing? No parts of that 'purfect memory' that left something out?" Ayumi The Chief asked and I turned to him confused. What was he getting at? My life has been simple up to this point and I remember it all.

"Then hang around with us for a while. Maybe you will remember something or maybe we are just tricking you into joining the team. Either way you need us to survive this harsh world. So what do you say Jacob?" Ayumi asked me seriously while lowering her weapon...

Two options. Say no or say yes. Saying no may result in conflict between me and Team Flow while joining may be good and maybe I was originally apart of the team and lost my memory somehow. There is still the chance Team Flow is just playing me and is planning to screw me over. So what do I chose?.....

-------------------------------------------------------

So. How will this situation play out? Are Team Flow telling the truth or are they lying through their teeth and in the end does it really matter in such a world where help doesn't come easily for a level 1.
