Just how big of an obstacle course did they need? There were so many different types of obstacles. There was a cargo net, monkey bars, a rock wall, and what are they called? High hurdles? there was more then I could name. A lot of the students looked excited, unlike me. And then ther were the ones who were just like me, those who didn't want to do it or were to afraid to do anything.
"I'll try to take it easy on you all," Mr Brisko said. "If you can complete this once, I'll allow you to skip the rest of Phys Ed for the day. How's that for a deal?"
So I have to complete this course to skip the rest of P.E. for today? I thought to myself. That's impossible for me!
"Here's the catch," Mr Brisko raised a gloved hand and waved his finger side to side. "If you can't complete this course," His expression turned to a sinister one. Are all the teachers here like that? "I'll take away half of your points from each of your banks."
The aura in the air intensified, the silence not helping anything. We needed our points to pay for things on campus, otherwise we wouldn't be able to take care ourselves here. If he takes half, then that only leaves with 50,000 points. Can't they take it easy on us? At least the first years, it's our first day. The rest of the teachers better not be like this.
"Onii!" A figure waved at Mr Brisko. "Why didn't you wait for me and Uki and Fuu-chan?"
Mr Brisko turned to the three behind him. He rubbed his head nervously and smiled as the brown haired one puffed his cheeks at him. The other two, well, one looked half machine and half human, a cyborg I guess. And the other one had the most pink hair I have ever seen in my life. or maybe it was purple.
"How naughty," The gray haired cyborg said. "You have the audacity to start class without us. How are we going to discipline the students if you're nice to them?"
I was very confused in that moment. Is there more than one Phys Ed teacher? Mr Brisko is already trying to get us to do this obstacle course, and these other teachers seemed to be really...Scary.
"Um, Allow me to introduce to you your other teachers." Mr Brisko looked nervous with the brown cat staring daggers at him. He wrapped his arm around the cat boy and smiled. "This is your 3rd Phys Ed teacher, Alban Knox." He then pointed at the gray haired cyborg. "Your 2nd Phys Ed teacher, Fulgur Ovid." And then the pinked hair one. "Finally, your 4th Phys Ed teacher, Uki Violeta."
"It's nice to meet you," Mr Knox's suddenly changed expression from serious to giddy. "I hope we can get along during our time here."
A part of me wanted to believe that at least Mr Knox was nice, but with the look I saw in his eyes, that said everything. I don't know, maybe that look I saw was just me, but he looked mischievous. Mr Ovid seemed unreadable, well, almost unreadable. He had his arms crossed and was swatting away any 1st years who had tried to touch his mechanical arms. And then there was Mr Violeta. I couldn't tell if he was strict, or chill or anything. Not to mention he's quiet.
"Let me take it from here," Mr Ovid sort of pushed Mr Brisko aside and interlocked his fingers, stretching his mechanical arms? Does he even feel the stretch? "Alright, let's see. I'll allow you all to keep the deal with Mr Brisko, but you'll have to beat me in a 6 vs 1 battle."
6 vs 1? How the hell is he gonna pull that off? Wait, if it's 6 vs 1, then wouldn't that be an entire group?
"Sir?" Maria raised her hand. "6 vs 1? Isn't that a lot for one person? Will you be fine?"
"Ah, good question, Miss Marionette. "Mr Ovid smiled. "Why don't you and your group demonstrate?"
Maria was dumbfounded was he said that. Scarle, who was standing next to Maria facepalmed and covered her face. Everyone in our group covered their faces, even Ren, who didn't seem like the type to get embarrassed too easily. After a few moments of silence, everyone took a giant step back, leaving my group alone.
"Come on," Mr Violeta finally spoke. "You don't want to take too long or you'll be here forever. Unless you want to fight me along with Mr Ovid?"
"Oh, hell no." Aia immediately grabbed us and pulled us forward. "I'd rather fight Mr Ovid then Mr Violeta."
"Hey, what are you doing?" I asked, slightly panicking at Aia's sudden reaction.
"Just trust me," She whispered back to me. She pointed over Ren and Scarle, who had almost fearful expression. Or was that fear? I couldn't tell, but they looked like they would rather not fight with Mr Violeta. "You don't want to get into a biff with Mr Violeta. Ren and Scarle have personal experience with fighting him."
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Suddenly, a purple circled surrounded the seven of us, a barrier starting to rise, at least I think it was a barrier. It entrapped us inside, keeping us together in one place. I looked over at Aster and Maria, who were the closest to me. They were sort of glowing the same purplish color. Maria was confused, but Aster seemed to be fine, like he already knew what was happening.
"What's going on?" Maria asked, looking over at Scarle.
"This is Mr Violeta's power." She answered rather nervously. "He's a psychic. These are only part of his powers. The glow your seeing right now is an upgrade given by him."
"But Aia said-"
"You should pay attention to your fight, Miss Marionette." Mr Ovid's voice came from behind Maria, which caused her to yelp and jump away. He was holding a book in his hands, reading but also paying attention to us.
We all backed away, seeing how quick he was, well, we didn't actually see him, which proves how fast he is. Scarle held her hand out as red wisps of glitter surrounded her hand. A scepter appeared in her hand as the wisps faded away. How the hell did she do that?
"Maria! Kyo!" Scarle shouted. "Stay near Ren for this, okay? Let us handle it."
They don't want us to do anything? But he said 6 vs 1. I'm not complaining, but that's what Mr Ovid said, right?
"A shame, you don't want them to get hurt?" Mr Ovid turned to Scarle, then he looked at me and Maria, who were near Ren. "If they struggle and fall, then all they have to do is climb."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Mr Ovid had suddenly disappeared. It must've been his speed because there was a gust of wind when he moved. Before I could even blink, I saw Mr Ovid land right next to Ren, thrust his fist into his abdomen, and the last thing I saw was Ren flying and slamming into the barrier with a CRASH!
"RenRen!" Aster turned to where he heard the crash. "What happened?"
"Was that really Ren?" Maria tried to keep her hair out of her face with the wind blowing it. "There's no way the teachers would attack the students, right?"
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Isn't that illegal?
"Actually, we are allowed to attack to a certain degree." Mr Ovid dusted his hands and pat mine and Maria's shoulder. "Just not so much to where they can't walk. We can break their arms and dislocate their limbs, they just have to be able to walk."
"What?!" I felt afraid in that moment and backed away, swatting his metal hand away, which probably hurt me more than it did to him. "You're telling me that a teacher could dtart a riot and they wouldn't be blamed for it?"
"That's hypothetically, correct?"
"Sure, whatever!"
"Then, you're correct. As long as the students can walk, it's fine. Of course, we can't kill anyone, or we're done for."
What kind of messed up school is this? Teachers are allowed to hurt the students? That's crazy! Too crazy! If I had known that the moon would take me here, I wouldn't have followed those stupid copies of myself. How are we going out get out of this situation?
"Don't just stand there!" Aia made an attempt to punch Mr Ovid, but missed due to his speed. "If you don't want to get hurt, then do start powering up! You can even use the upgrade to just jump around and stay away from him. Just move!"
It was overwhelming, with all the noise surrounding us. I could hear the other students yelling, almost cheering, like a fight between two bullies was going on. Others sounded worried and hope that nobody would get hurt too badly. Well, that hope was thrown out the window when Ren was suddenly beaten.
"Are we sure this is the right way to get them to come out?" I could faintly hear Mr Brisko, even with all the chaos happening. "This seems much. Kaneko doesn't seem to have awakened his powers as of yet, Marionette is too scared out of her wits, Amare acts impulsively with her past as a bully, Arcadia still has yet too learn how to make split second decisions, Zotto is too kind for his own good, and Yonaguni has failed many different classes even if she is powerful."
"It'll be fine, Onii," Alban smiled and hugged Mr Brisko. "They gotta learn. It'll be an easy way to teach them, besides, Fuu-chan gets to have fun as well."
Are they crazy?! I thought to myself while nearly escaping the crash of Aia being slammed into the ground. Mr Ovid slammed her so hard, it left a small crater, denting the ground. No, no way am I staying at this school any longer! These people are crazy!
"Kyo!" I heard Aster call my name. I turned to where his voice came from. I couldn't really look at him at first, he was literally glowing. So damn bright, I couldn't even squint to look at him. Scratch that, he started to dim as he got closer, if that makes any sense. I could see Ren right behind him, along with Maria and Scarle.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him, probably to protect me from being harmed. He looked pretty irritated too, I didn't expect him to be the kind of person who would scowl.
"Aster, what are you doing?" The way Maria said his name sounded like "Asta" to me.
"It's a spell," Aster briefly said. "Since I was born from a supernova, that makes me a star. I learned how to blind my opponent without blinding my friends."
That explains why the light didn't hurt my eyes when he got closer. Hold up, did he say he was born from a supernova? He's a star?! Never mind, I'll ask later.
Right now, we have to deal with Mr Ovid.
