Capítulo 4: Officially a Student

Mark

I left the principal's office. I'm totally bothered by my hair. My hair is cut out right above my eyes covering my thick eyebrows. My hair is messy as fuck and I almost punched my Principal for what she did. Wanna know what happened? Let me tell you then.

Flashback

I frowned while listening to them. What are they talking about, what kind of mark do I have? I couldn"t help myself but ask.

"Excuse me, but why is everyone talking about my mark? What's so special about it?" I asked without showing any emotion but full of curiosity.

"Mark, turn around" Dad said. I followed his order and turned around.

"Take off your shirt." Dad commanded. Whaatt?!! What the hell is he thinking, I faced him with surprise look on my face, my body is still facing at the back. I am not planning to strip here.

He faced me with a cold gaze with no emotions showing on his face, which made me obey him without hesitation. I still want to live, so don't mess with my dad when he is wearing that face.

Even though I don't want to, I take my shirt off and face at the back. I felt uncomfortable with their stares, I have a well-built body but uhh what the fuck are they doing.

"He's the cursed one" Principal Judith whispered. I frowned, what did she mumble about? I faced them "Pardon please." They shifted their gaze at my face.

"You know you have the phenotype of your both parents." She said knowingly. What, I don't even have the looks of my father and then she tells me that I have both physical traits of my parents.

"You look better if you cut your hair shorter, like, right above your eyes." She said with a grin on her face, and at that moment something flew right in front of me which cut my hair that was covering my eyes.

"Better, you look as handsome as your brothers." She said while grinning widely.

I'm stunned for a second and when I recovered from shock, I yelled at her.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!!" I shouted at her, but just before I could punch this nosy principal, my dad grabbed me and pushed me away from the principal. I'm glaring at her with murderous intent. I just rumpled my hair with frustration because I know I can't do anything about it.

"Put your shirt on and get your things." Dad commanded again and I gladly followed. Before we took our exit, Dad mouthed Principal Judith a word 'thanks' and Principal Judith smiled as a reply. I glared at Dad and came out first. But just before I got out, Principal Judith said another thing.

"Mark John R. Martinez, you are officially a student of Atlantis Special Academy." She said happily and cheerfully. I frowned while dad smiled, I don't care as long as there's food and I'm not in the mood to say thank you.

End of flashback

Dad patted my head and gave me an envelope before bidding me farewell, I'm not in the mood so I just nod and raised my other hand as an answer to his goodbye. He was a bit far away when he shouted like he remembered something and went back.

"I forgot to tell you that your brother Mike will come to check on you, as well as your papers, this afternoon." Dad said while smiling, I nod in response.

"You look really good with your new haircut, even though it not that symmetrical and kind of messy." He said and grinned. Yeah, I give him my I-Don't-Give-A-Fuck look. He chuckles at my reaction before looking at his wristwatch.

"I will tell Mike to fix your haircut, it's already 7:45 and you're 15 minutes late, go to Sir Brian Kang's office." He said and push me. How will I go there when I don't know the way?

"but—"

"There you are." My words are cut short when a guy was walking towards us. He's in his mid-twenties based on his looks.

"Good morning Sir Rio, can I now take your son?" he asked. My dad nodded and told him 'just be careful, a lion is not in his best mood' and look at me. Sir Brian just nod and smile.

Dad wave his hand as we parted ways. We walked towards his office, I just followed him because I don't know the way, he toured me around the school. If I didn't meet with Principal and saw her office, for sure, I would still think that this is a mansion and not a school.

Few minutes later, we stopped in front of a huge double door. We entered the room, Sir Brian walked to his table and I sit at the sofa, seriously, is this an office or a living room, why is there a sofa? I looked around his office. The color inside is gray and white and the interior design is just simple but elegant.

Sir Brian entered another room, after a few minutes, he came out with two pairs of uniform and one pair shoes, how did I know that it was my uniform? Well it's because of the pictures that are hanged on the wall and at the side of his nameplate on his table.

"So here's your uniform, this is a free size because I don't know what your size yet, but I think this will fit on you." He said. I took the uniform and sit back at the sofa, he looked at me with a confused face.

"Why are just sitting there? Wear it." He said. I shot him back with a confused face.

"Don't expect me to change here; I'm already done stripping in Principal Judith's Office with my Dad." I said while maintaining my emotionless face. His lips parted with what I said but he answered me after.

"You can use that room." He said while pointing to a door right across the door he went into a while ago.

"Just call me if you need anything." He added. I got up from the sofa and entered the room. When I went in the room, I was amazed, this is a comfort room seriously? Is this really an office? I quickly changed as I remember that I still have a class to attend to, I'm already late. I glance at my wristwatch and it's already 7:56.

I went out of the comfort room. The uniform he gave fit me well. My uniform is a gray t-shirt with a school logo in front, dark blue blazer, dark blue slacks, and black shoes, you can't really notice that it's blue because it looks like black by how dark it is.

"Good, you're ready. Let's go." He said and got up.

We left his 'fancy' office and walked to my classroom. We stopped in front of another double door and when Sir Brian open the door, I see a bunch of students chatting and laughing. The students are wide-eyed because of our entrance and immediately fix their chairs and stand up properly to greet him when Sir Brian stood up in front of the class.

"Good Morning class." He greets them with full of authority.

"Good Morning Professor Brian, we're glad to see you this morning." The students replied in uniform.

"Okay class, I'm sorry for being late but I have a news for you."

"We have a new student." He said happily. The students start talking about the transferee's gender, name, appearance, and etc. Sir Brian cough and they all stop gossiping.

"As I said, we have a transferee. So please let me call the new student to come inside." he glance at me and as if on que, I step inside the room with a poker face.

"Please introduce yourself to us, boy." Sir Brian said. The students started gossiping again.

"Sis, he's so handsome." Girl student 1 said.

"Sis, he's mine." Girl student 2 stated.

"He's also mine! So damn hot." Girl student 3 replied.

"What? What did you say? He's mine, he's already my husband." Girl student 4 retaliated.

"Shhh.. Students, please be quiet, let the transferee introduce his self." Sir Brian shouted that made the room quiet. I face him and nod.

"Hi guys, uhm I'm Mark John R. Martinez. Nice to meet you." I said with a cold manner. The students began murmuring again.

"Sis, his voice is so deep. Hot." Girl 1 purred with admiration.

"He's intimidating." Student boy 1 blurted.

"He's cold." The girl sitting at the right side in the back of the room said, that made the gossip quiet down a bit, they seem shock at the girl's statement but after a while, they began chatting again.

Sir Brian's cough made the room quiet.

"Will you explain further about yourself?" he asked.

"Like what is your special ability, your talent, and hobbies?" he asked while smiling. I sighed.

"My hobbies are taking pictures and I love to eat and sleep. I don't have any special ability." I uttered while maintaining my cold tone. The students become noisy again and the confusion was evident in their voices.

"Of course you have, like this one." He said and at that time he throws three daggers at my direction. As a defense mechanism, I spun around and grab one of the three daggers flying towards me and throw it back at Sir Brian's direction but he catches it effortlessly. The students clapped and applauded with what I did. What the hell is he doing.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING" I yell. I'm not in my best mood so don't mess with me, you might regret it.

"Very good, so that's your special ability. Super Speed, am I right?" He said and grinned widely. I smirked, oh so that what he meant about the special ability thing, my power. My angry face soften and goes back to being emotionless.

"Uhmm. My special ability, is that's what you call it, you're wrong. I'm an all element controller." I declared with a cold tone and a cold stare. They all gasped at my sentence and Sir Brian smiled.

"As expected, you're powerful." He said knowingly. They started murmuring again but I didn't bother listening to them. One of the students raise her hand.

"Sir, you said they are only four all element controllers and they are only chosen by God's. They are chosen by their uniqueness and traits, but him, he seems cold, distant, and short-tempered and I assume that his traits are not good as the prophecy said." She blurted. She's the beautiful girl at the back and what did she say? My traits aren't as good as the prophecy said? Sorry to her, I'm one of the chosen four.

"So, what do you mean Miss Pormento?" Sir Brian questioned her. She's doubting me, I know and I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. My face stays emotionless even with the accusation thrown at me by this girl with a sharp tongue. What is her surname again? Pormento? Nice name but it doesn't suit her traits either.

"I mean that, maybe he's just making story to intimidate us all. I've read the book many times but no matter how much you look at it, his traits are not qualified." Miss Pormento said pointing at me. My blood rises to my head because of what she said. Who is she to accuse me of making a fabricated story?

"And by the way, no offense to you but I cannot feel a strong presence and power coming from you and another thing, we didn't see what you can do except for that speed." She said. And that's it I reached my point, calm down Mark, control yourself, don't let her win and make her eat her own words, I keep telling myself. I breathed heavily. I'm still controlling myself so I didn't notice the change of the room's temperature and the breeze also blew harder that caused the windows to violently open. The curtains that are hanging almost flew away.

"I think it's gonna rain." One student commented.

"You may now take your seat Mr. Martinez." Sir Brian instructed. I sat down at the vacant seat in the back, shit, I'm losing my control.

"So class, you probably already know what you need to do but I'll repeat it again so your new classmate will be informed. You have three weeks free training for the upcoming actual test or ability test to increase the level of your ability. Your levels are shown at the back of your t-shirts uniform." He said. So how do we increase our level? I raised my hand, stand up and ask a question.

"So, what will we do level up our ability?" I asked in a cold tone.

"You have to give your best and release a powerful techniques and it depends on how powerful your technique is, the powerful the technique the higher the level you get and this is one of the grading system in this school so we know who's already good at controlling their power." Sir Brian answered. I nod and sat.

"And as for you, you need to do this seriously to get your identification card." He mentioned.

"So your training starts now." Sir Brian cheerfully said. Well I guess this is it, my first day on a weird but cool school. I was left in this classroom thinking, what will I do now, I uttered to myself as I ruffle my messy hair.
