Shane woke up Thursday morning feeling refreshed and well rested. It was the first time since the Onyx League invasion that he felt truly calm.

Picking up his schedule, Shane glanced at what classes they would be having.

Thursday: Metal Training, Mental Training, Lunch, Defensive Drills, Kinesis Training.

On his desk, sitting right next to his schedule, was an envelope. It was closed, without any writing on its front to tell him who had sent it. Shane assumed it was from his parents.

His heart warmed at the thought.

Oh, he missed them so much.

Despite that, he made sure to steal a quick glance at his watch. It was fortunate he did so. He only had one minute left until class begun, and he didn't want to be late.

Sighing, he snatched up the letter like an eagle grabbing its prey, and hastily stuffed it into his pocket.

He would check it out later.

Shane zipped open his back pack with lightning speed. Checking one last time that everything was there - all his books, pens, files, pencils - he zipped it back up.

Flinging his pack onto his back, he turned off his light switch. As his entire bedroom was bathed in pure darkness, he dashed into the dormitory hallway. Sprinting down the hall, he practically punched open the front door and burst outside.

Fernando was waiting for him.

"C'mon," Fernando yelled, "the others have already gone to class!"

"Thanks for waiting for me," Shane said, flashing an appreciative smile.

Fernando nodded, smiling back.

"OK then, let's go!" Fernando shouted.

They began running across the class, making their way towards the Mental Training room - a facility directly adjacent to the Psionic Science laboratories.

It made sense, anyway.

Professor Seabend taught both of those subjects - Mental Training and Psionic Science - to the students of Psionic Academy, and she wouldn't have wanted to walk around the entire school just to rotate the subject she was teaching the class.

This setup was much easier for the Professor.

Shane gulped in air greedily. His lungs were burning, his arms were roaring from exertion.

The speed and movement was exhilarating. He felt free and alive, the thoughts of the Onyx League just a dark shadow behind him.

He was alive.

He was in the moment.

Just focusing on the movement.

The rising and falling of his hands.

The stretching of his legs as he ran across the grass.

The inhale and exhale as the air entered and left his lungs.

They were nearing the door.

"You excited?" Fernando called.

"You betcha!" Shane said.

They had been practicing their physical Psychokinetic abilities all week, but they had never gotten the chance to do the same with their Mental abilities.

They had, in fact, been scheduled to get the opportunity to experience the usage of their Mental abilities already. But then the whole - erm, 'incident' - with the invaders from the Onyx League had messed up their time table, and made them miss out on all the Mental Training lessons so far. 

Because of that, Shane was eager to start class.

He was excited to learn and experience the new things that the lesson had in store for him.

Just as the final bell rang loudly, reverberating through the school grounds - a clear message to the students that they should already be in their classroom, ready for the lesson to commence - Shane and Fernando made it to the door.

Fernando was in front.

Carefully, gently, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Shane followed right behind him.

And stepped into the class of Mental Training.
