Chapter 5 - The Infinity Rank

This is insane

Nobody as ever been an infinity rank from the very beginning, the highest rank had always been a B but even that was rare and you had to work your way up to A and it was going to be years before anyone could be an infinity rank

But you are telling me that muscle less and skill less young man is an infinity rank?

The machine probably malfunctioned

Reset it again and let's run the test again

There's nothing to reset captain

Then let him step aside, let us continue with the evaluation and we will try again, a rank Zero is just impossible.

So they continued scanning the rest of the recruits

Rank D

Rank C

Rank D

Rank E ...

And so they continued till they were done with all the recruits and now they proceeded to scan Aerion again

Everyone was focused on him now and the machine started, it kept switing to different ranks

Rank G

Rank F

Rank E

Rank D

Rank C

Rank B

Rank A

and then the machine started making loud noises and releasing blue flames

Rank 0 ... Infinity Rank

Everyone gasped

It really was true, the first infinity from the start

when Aerion came out of the machine this time he had a strand of blue hair on his dark brown hair, he did not understand the gravity as this all was still new to him. 

He still just wanted to be done and go back to his rather boring life, he hated his work but now he could not wait to get back to it, to get out of this world he knows nothing about.

But that was just his own predicament. No one else knew the struggle he was going through within all they cared about was that after what seemed like forever an infinity rank has finally appeared.

"This has to be impossible Alita said to Zayne, she had expected to be the next infinity stone as she felt her flame aura increasing after the last battle they fought"

"You are right, he doesn't seem to have the physical stamina to handle the special weapon of the rank zero" Zayne replied her

"I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens now" Alita said, turning to back to face the over excited crowd, she cleared her throat on the mic to draw their attention back to the mic.

"Now that we are done with the ranking the next phase is weapon matching, but before that you will each go to your room where you will find your suit already waiting, also your roommates are your team members from now on and you will be responsible for keeping each other safe."

She paused and looked around to make sure what she said sank in, "Do you understand!" She yelled and they all chorused a yes.

They went one after the other to find their rooms on the notice board

"Wow! I can't believe an infinity rank will be my roommate, girl screamed into Aerion's face when she saw on the notice board that they were going to be roommates plus two C ranked members. "My name is Nyra by the way, she said pointing to her name on the notice board after his just incase he did not know what she was talking about, our team will be impenetrable" she jumped on in excitement as she walked with Aerion to the room. Aerion just seemed emotionless. 

"When do I go back?" He thought to himself

When they got to their room the other two members where already seated in the common area, as soon as Aerion entered they both rushed to him completely ignoring Nyra.

"Hi I am Salas, the guy said to him

"And I am Liora", the girl said in excitement

Aerion just wanted to go to the room and lie down but they were just getting started with the questioning.

"How do you feel being an infinity rank," Liora started

"I heard they are always so hot that they barely wear clothes, do you feel hot"? Salas asked trying to touch his face.

"Please will you all just leave me alone, Aerion screamed totally exhausted from everything that was going on.

The room became still and everyone hurried away from him with their head down. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the male room and shut the door behind him but not before Salas screamed "I called dips on the up bunk"

Aerion sat down on the bed thinking about everything that has happened so far to see if he would get any idea of what really was going on with him and why this was happening, from coming here from another world he was now the highest rank person here, this was insane. He had only read about things like this in books but now he was living it like it was now his life.

He looked on his bed and saw the suit he was suppose wear. He threw it on the wall in anger. "Can this just be all over. He laid down on the bed and as soon as his back touched the bed he slept off. 

When he opened his eyes, he was at his office exactly how he last remembered it.
