She was finally back at her room. It was a rather long day, with most of her classes being about different strategies and how to successfully excecute them and how to react to different responses from the enemies. Mana felt like most of the emphasis was put on how to use their powers against the enemy, which slightly annoyed her, because she felt like some powers could also be used to enhance the regular people weapons and armours. But she didn't feel like speaking up in any of her classes, not wanting to attract attention to herself because she felt like she knew what most of the responses would be.
Moving to her bed, she allowed herself to crash on it and then letting out a fake snore. She felt a bit tired, but she knew that going to sleep at this hour meant she would wake up in the middle of the night, which wasn't quite something she wanted to do. Pushing herself from the bed and moving to sit on it with her legs crossed, Mana pondered on what she should do. She needed to check her social group to see if there were any new topics, eat dinner, choose clothes for tomorrow, make sure she doesn't need to do the laundry yet, shower and only then she could go to sleep.
Deciding to check her social group while eating to save herself a bit of time, Mana grabbed her tablet before placing it in her sidebag and then leaving the room, locking it once she was out. Sighing to herself, she already knew that to reach the cafeteria she needed to take the train. She slightly disliked trains because they didn't feel too stable for her, but she never felt a single rumble that suggested the train in the Academy was not stable, which reassured her a bit.
While on the train, Mana placed an earpiece in her ear and then pressed it, beginning to listen to any recorded message people might've left for her. She had a couple from her parents, letting her know that they wanted to hear more from her, and not just once a week. Another message was from one of the managers from the social group, informing her that she was once again nominated to become a co-manager due to her expertise and knowledge in different technologies, and that they required her acceptance to proceed with giving this to the other managers.
Upon hearing the last message that was left for her, Mana smiled. It was one from a friend she had from highschool, letting her know that she just recieved a scholarship and will begin studying in a university in a bit, and in the subject she had wanted. Putting a finger on the earpiece, she would change the setting to call and try to get in touch with her parents. Neither of them had answered, so she assumed that they were working and left a voice message. Then she left a message to the social group manager, letting him know that this time she accepts, feeling she is ready.
She chose not to call her friend just then, and removed the earpiece from her ear and placed it back in the bag. The train had just stopped at her station and Mana got off with a quick step, before going to the cafeteria. She had seen a few faces she had known from her class, but none she would want to say 'hey' to. So instead she quickly made her way to the cafeteria, going inside and getting herself some beef, a salad and a glass of water, not wanting to over do it with food.
Sitting down at a table and taking out her tablet, she begun skimming through the new topics and replies in the social network before noticing something on the other side of the room. A few other people stood up and two of them appeared to be having a conversation that could very easily lead to a fight. Putting the tablet back in her bag, she begun eating her food while watching from the distance at what was going on. She had no intention of suddenly stepping up and getting involved with people she didn't quite know, so she eventually decided to keep on eating and pay them less attention.
After finishing her food, she noticed that three of the people had already left the cafeteria, with the last person leaving just as she rose her sight. Drinking her glass of water, she then let out a sigh of satisfaction. Now all she had left to do was to go, take a shower, catch her friend with a call and then crash on her bed again. Standing up, she begun to walk casually towards the exit, knowing that the train back to her dorm should be arriving in a few minutes, and she didn't want to accidently miss it.
A couple of minutes later she was about halfway to the train station when she overheard a conversation going on a conversation going on about mundane guns using special bullets, and how one person prefered using bullets that burn things and don't freeze them. With her curiousity raising, Mana moved to walk a few steps behind the two girls, being extremely curious as to how the conversation will keep on going and wanting to hear more. Obviously she knew that some shifters could create special ammo, but she hadn't seen any example of this thus far.
Not exactly watching where she is going, Mana stumbled and fell head first to the floor. Letting out a grunt of pain, she moved to sit on the floor and see that she was lucky and the only thing that happened to her was a scratch on her forehead. Her knees hurt a bit, but no actual injury was shown, so she figured she was fine, before moving to stand up slowly.
