The Choice of The Universe

World Date: September 15, 2038,

On the morning of Demir registration day, came to the administration building with the Nurse Oya. He had told Nurse Oya about everything he had been through and they had agreed to go together this morning.

The metal door, which was always closed whenever he came, was open this time. On the left side of the door was a guard with a spear. He spread danger around him with his black-purple dress and sullen face. A woman in a white-purple dress greeted them kindly at the door. While they were all entering the building together, Nurse Oya gave a little explanation about the building to Demir.

- Do you know, in the past, there were two soldiers with spears and shields on either side of the door. (Nurse Oya, pointing to some corners of the room and the mezzanine) There would be another one more here too...

Those old glorious days of the academy flashed before Nurse Oya's eyes. He smiled slightly and, leaving the past behind, he and Demir headed towards the registration counter.

There were not many people in the registration area. On the right side were two grown men talking to each other. Demir recognized them immediately. They were among those who came to the health center when he first woke up. Nurse Oya bowed her head and greeted them and then they continued walking.

After receiving the nurse's greeting chief Baran and Atay continued the conversation,

- The meeting last night was very interesting, wasn't it?

- Yes. I thought it was going to be as usual, but the meeting exceeded my expectations. Ms. Esin gave detailed information, but I couldn't understand the situation even though I thought about it both during and after the meeting. I left it to time, I wonder what the outcome will be.

- We were already doing detailed observation. Maybe we could have give guidance once in a while. But I didn't think we would intervene directly either...

- ??

The two's gazes swept over the four children in the registration area, one by one...

...

After the slightly tall, stylishly dressed and noble-looking middle-aged man in front of them and the little girl aged 8-9 next to him completed the registration process, it was Demir's turn. They approached the registration desk. The countertop was quite high. From where he was, Demir could not see anything except the front face of the counter.

The registrar checked the general information of the two people on the holographic screen in front of him. In addition to all health information such as weight, height, gender, blood pressure and so on, all the equipment they were carrying, including the clothes they were currently wearing, were also listed on the screen. 

- What is your name?

- (Nurse Oya) Demir Han,

The registrar scrolled the screen and opened the latest student selection exam results. He looked for Demir Han's name on the list but couldn't find it. He got up from his chair and looked at Demir over the counter. In order to avoid mistakes, he did in tablet a face search for this unfamiliar student, but still couldn't find any results.

- Please give me your reference letter,

- ??

Nurse Oya leaned down and talked to Demir for a while, then turned to the registrar,

- We'll register within Dean Noyan's knowledge. Please register us, sir.

- I'm afraid I can't, ma'am. The boy is not among the winners of the student selection exam. If you don't have a reference letter, I can't enroll you.

- What exam? Which exam are you talking about?

- Reference letter... Please...

Nurse Oya didn't know what to do in the face of the registrar's does not care stare. Ms. Esin had told her, "Register the child and make sure he is settled in his room." Now, she won't even be able to do his first mission was in a state.

Unable to understand why the registrar was behaving like this, Nurse Oya looked around for help. Realizing this situation, Intelligence Chief Baran got involved. After listening to Nurse Oya, Chief Baran asked the registrar to open the office door. He went inside and went to one of the back rooms. After a while, he came with a woman of medium beauty wearing a black midi length dress.

The registrar began to sweat when in the face of he saw his chief, who was obviously angry. He knew he had made a mistake somewhere, but he could not understand figure out where.

- Chief Tulin, welcome.

- Is there a problem with the student's enrollment?

- He's not among the exam winners. And also they couldn't provide any letters of reference...

- He's on leave from the Dean Noyan. There's no problem. Now register him.

The registrar was going to say "We have never taken such a procedure" when Chief Tulin's angry voice rang in her ears.

- Why are you waiting?

The registrar immediately bowed to Chief Tulin, both as an apology and as an acceptance of the task. When he sat down in his chair to make the transaction, Chief Tulin to was standing next to him.

- What is your name?

- Demir Han,

- ... ...

While the registrar was filling out the student form, Nurse Oya couldn't contain herself,

- I told you we were on leave from Dean Noyan, but you didn't believe me. As you know, we lowest officers can never lie. I couldn't understand why he didn't want to record...

Nurse Oya was about to continue when she was met with Chief Tulin's fiery gaze. She immediately directed her gaze to Demir and took care of him until the registration process was over. After 5 minutes, the registrar handed the file with the signed and sealed registration documents to Nurse Oya.

After the registration process was completed, they went to the other students waiting at the front of the stairs. When the four students gathered together, the lady in the white and purple dress handed out the brochures to the new students and began her speech with a slight smile on her face,

- Today, we welcome you, our esteemed young heirs, who have been enrolled in our Star Academy. Let's meet again here at two o'clock this afternoon for your introduction and academic program. Until then, please do not forget to register for a room in the dormitories with your registration form.

This brochure contains general plans of the academy campus and buildings. It also contains brief information about the academy. Please make sure you check and read the information in the brochure. See you at two o'clock... Goodbye.

As the lady in the white-purple dress turned around and left, the four children and two adults who stayed there looked at each other... After the attendant left, the white-skinned girl was the first to come forward to introduce herself. She had waist-length light green fluffy hair and light green eyes.

- Hello, my name is Tauriel,

- Hello, mine is Demir,

- Nice to meet you, Demir.

Just as Demir was about to speak, the other student next to them introduced himself,

- Hello, my name is Durualp,

- Hello, I'm Demir,

- Nice to meet you, Demir,

- Nice to meet you Tauriel, nice to meet you Durualp,

When Demir looked behind the two of them, his eyes met with the other student in the back. With her slightly red skin, ruby colored eyes and red-copper colored wavy hair, she looked like she was from another continent. The girl here was no different with her light green and fluffy wavy hair. Only Durualp was like himself. He had slightly dark skin and hazel eyes. He had dark brown hair.

Just as Demir was about to start talking and mingling with his new friends, the voice of smartly dressed man standing next to Nurse Oya was heard,

- Young Lady, Young Master, we have to go.

They both nodded in unison, said goodbye to Demir and went to the smartly dressed man. The slightly red-skinned boy, a little further away, joined the group with his dignified gait and disdainful gaze. Once the three students were together, they headed towards the exit door. As they passed Demir, the slightly red-skinned boy paused for a moment, looked at Demir as if he was looking at a disgusting insect, and continued on his way.

Nurse Oya called out as Demir looked after them in surprise,

- Let's go too, Demir. Let's go register or we won't make it in time for the opening,

- Okay,

They left the administration building. With the guidance of Nurse Oya, they arrived at the dormitory where they would register about fourty minutes later. It was noon when they returned to the health center after room selection and registration.

After lunch, Demir came to his room at the health center and sat down at the desk in front of the window. Initially, this patient room, which had been filled with all the necessary sanitary supplies, had changed over time. Now it was full of books, notebooks and other things that could be found in a small study. He opened the brochure in his hand and began to study the academy campus...

This was an academy in by greenery. He knew he was in the health center right now. (If I am here, the Administration Building should be on my left and the Colosseum should be across from me), he thought and approached the window and looked out. Then, when he opened the window and took a good look around, he said, "There is nothing but trees" and closed the window again.

He left his room and went into one of the rooms across the hall. When he approached the window of the room and looked out, he saw some faint silhouettes in the trees far away. Comparing what he saw with the brochure in his hand, he said, "Yes... yes, this is the right direction."

When he went back to his room, he had finished looking through the brochure. When his want to collect your personal belongings, actually he realized that there was nothing that belonged to him. Even the clothes he was wearing belonged to the academy. As he lay down on the bed to get some rest, the door to the room opened.

The nurses who had taken care of him when he was sick had come to say goodbye. After a long conversation, Demir said goodbye to the nurses and asked them to give him permission to take his favorite book with him. When they hesitated to give him this book registered in the library, Mrs. Esin's voice was heard,

- You can have it. Don't forget to read it from time to time to remember yourself and us.

Demir bowed in front of Ms. Esin, who was leaning on the door jamb,

- Thank you so much for everything. I'll never forget you.

- This is not goodbye... We will see each other more.

When the corner of Ms. Esin's lips curved upwards slightly, Demir was happy too, but when he looked at Ms. Esin's smile again, an indescribable uneasiness and fear filled him…
