Chapter 54: New School New Life - Part 1

'Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.'

It was an ordinary morning—as ordinary as a morning could get. It was neither too cold nor too hot, it was neither too wet nor too dry, and it was neither too windy nor too still. However, for if you know what today represented, you would believe it to be anything but ordinary.

It was January 1st; why is this day special, you may ask?

It was the official beginning of the new school year, but it was also the official beginning of the biggest experiment to ever be conducted on a group of children. It was an experiment on a scale much larger than the Ideal Human Project. It was an experiment which would push the minds of hundreds of adolescents into agony—well, it's not exactly as treacherous as that.

Calling it an experiment isn't exactly right, either.
