Alvin groggily opened his eyes, squinting at the bright lights above him. He realized with a jolt that he was sitting in a classroom, surrounded by his classmates. As he struggled to shake off the grogginess, he remembered falling asleep during the last period of the day. He could feel the embarrassment creeping up on him as he realized that he had been caught snoozing in class.

'' Alvin why don't you enlighten the class about the different types of slugs as you seem to know it all as you are asleep!'' Exclaimed his teacher Mrs. Reed. Unable to answer her question i apologized '' Sorry Mrs. reed I don't know'' she responded '' i thought so, sit down and pay attention. Charlotte please answer my question.'' talking to the girl at the front, the smartest girl and also the school belle, with looks as fine as her it is understandable she has that title that long blonde hair, sapphire eyes and curves in all the correct places it is no wonder she is so favored.

Standing up elegantly from her seat she answered '' Yes Mrs. Reed, their are 5 types of slugs: Elemental, Tool, Mineral, Beast and Concept although very little is know about we know it exists as only one man was able to find and wield this slug.'' After answering she slowly sat down as to not wrinkle her cloths.

With her answer the class was finished and I was finally dismissed, walking around i could only hear the murmurs of student excited to begin their journey as a slug master.

As Arvin walked out of the classroom, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. He had always dreamed of becoming a slug master, but now that it was finally happening, he felt a little overwhelmed.

He walked to his dormitory and saw Charlotte walking in front of him, he couldn't help but notice how effortlessly she walked and carried herself. He tried to shake the thoughts of her and focus on what he needed to do. He knew that becoming a slug master was not going to be easy and he needed to work hard. He was determined to become the best slug master he could be.

As he entered his dormitory, he was greeted by his roommates, two other boys who were also excited to start their journey as slug masters. They all introduced themselves and quickly became friends. They would soon leave each other as they go on to move to different schools to achieve their goal and Alvin was aiming for the top school Garford, but what most made Alvin almost certain he was gonna be accepted into Garford is that he was the only disciple of the worlds greatest slug master and wielder of the one and only know concept slug, the gravity slug.

It was said that he was the only person in the world who could wield this powerful slug, and his skills were legendary.

He walked into the testing room, and the proctor handed him a test booklet. He scanned the questions and felt a sense of relief. The questions were not as difficult as he had anticipated.

As he wrote his answers, he couldn't help but think of Charlotte and his roommates, he knew they were also taking the test and he couldn't help but hope they were also doing well. He finished the test and handed it back to the proctor, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

A few days later, the results were announced, and to Arvin's delight, he had passed with flying colors. He had been accepted into Garford, the top academy for slug masters. He felt a sense of elation and couldn't wait to begin his journey as a student there.
