章節 4: A chain of unfortunate events
Some how I was able to get back to my apartment while avoiding cameras by using blindspots to my advantage,I can navigate through district 7 and recognize the routes as if it was the back of my hand.
After all of today's events I just collapsed onto my bed but shot straight back up because I didn't have time for Lazing around I needed to figure out what this power was and why I have it since I've never used it before.
Esper abilities usually awaken at the tender age of 5 but there are cases of even the elderly awakening so it is commonly believed that you can awaken at any age after 5. I don't know the exact age I awakened but it was certainly before I was 10 and I couldn't notice it because my ability wasnt flashy and only made my body stronger and heal faster.
Although I'm a rank 1 and only 1.2x stronger than the average person my age,that is a bit of a lie because my body is trained to the max and I even picked up multiple martial arts and self defence techniques to protect my self,I am a black belt in all of them and even better,red belt in karate,Brazilian jiujitsu and judo which is reserved for masters,at max I can probably take on rank 6 and 7 espers but it gets tricky after that. Yet all this has nothing to do with this new ability which can cancel out other abilities,I also feel like there's more to it than just that.
All this thinking made me feel really drowsy and made my eyes feel heavy so I just collapsed onto my bed and went to sleep.
I awakened to the sound of my alarm clock which was set to 5:00 am so that I can get some exercise and finish my homework in time before I start the day, school starts at 8:30 so there was enough time.
As I was brushing my teeth and looked in the mirror I was shocked to see that my skin looked smoother than before and any spots disappeared,I also feel like my height increased slightly,my black hair looked silkier than before too.I was certain this was a direct after affect of the ability I used yesterday.
I finished up my homework in a flash since it was really easy,packed my bags and got ready to go to school.I was a bit hesitant to leave the door since retribution could still be after me but I mustered up some courage and left my apartment to go to school.On my way I spotted Tsuchimikado and Haruto together waiting at the school gates so I approached them.
"Good morning."
"Oh,hey kuro took you long enough ."(Tsuchimikado)
"wait a minute kuro you seem different."(Haruto)
"Yeah I think he's grown a bit and that lazy,can't be bothered to do anything vibe is gone."(Tsuchimikado)
"Shut up,let's head inside,don't want to be late and risk a detention"(kuro)
[Nope that vibe is definitely still there.](Haruto and Tsuchimikado)

3:15 pm
The school day passed by unusually quick,probably cause I was daydreaming the whole time about yesterday's events and it wasn't like I needed to pay attention any way.
"Hey,wanna go out and eat"(Tsuchimikado)
"I'm down how about you kuro"(Haruto)
"Sorry not only am I feeling tired but I was told by takitsuba sensei to wait after school,don't know what she wants though"(Kuro)
"look at this handsome bastard getting called behind by a teacher,wonder what she'll do huh"(Haruto)
"Are perverted thoughts the only thing that goes on in your head"(Kuro)
"Take of your mask for a second please"(Tsuchimikado)
i followed his order.
"psst haruto,this Bastard is getting more handsome by the day,at this rate he'll steal all the girls"(Tsuchimikado whispered)
"I agree,let's scratch that handsome face of his"(Haruto whispered back)
"you know I can hear you right,well I have to go now see you later"
I waved at them and took my leave.
"Kuro wasn't his usual self today"(Tsuchimikado)
"Yeah it looked like he had a lot in his mind,hope he's okay though".(Haruto)

3:20 pm In the faculty room
"I suppose you understand why I called you out today kuro-kun"(Takitsuba)
Matsumoto Takitsuba is a very serious but sometimes laid back person ,she is loved by all the students she teaches for her personality and above average looks.Her black hair falls down to the centre of her back and her eyes are sky blue.
"Sorry but I have no idea"(Kuro)
"you should stop playing dumb"(Takistsuba replied in a stern tone)
[Seriously though why is she pissed?]
"As you homeroom teacher for last year and this year do you think you could hide it from me"(Takitsuba)
"Hide what?"(Kuro)
She opened a drawer and placed test sheets in front of me.
"Since last year every single test you have taken has ended with a score of 75 in all subjects,there's no way this can be a coincidence,I believe that you are purposefully aiming for an average score and not showing your true abilities"(Takitsuba)
[Looks like she's realized]
"Sorry for getting your hopes up but this is all just a coincidence"(Kuro)
I get up and as I'm about to leave.
"Kyoshiro Kuro-kun I don't know how much knowledge is contained in that brain of yours and why you're hiding it but don't think everything will go you're way"(Takitsuba)
"The knowledge I have is nothing special and it's none of you're business and as for why I'm *supposedly* hiding it,The reason is simple,I want to live a normal life"
*door slides shut*
[I don't know why your doing this but I'm sure you have a reason, kuro-kun]

3:40pm
After that little incident with Takitsuba sensei I left school grounds and was on my way home.School was located in district 14 and to get to district 7 was usually an hour's walk but if you cut through the main park you can save some time.
As I was making my way through the park I decided to grab a drink from the nearest vending machine and put in 1000 yen for 10 drinks as i thought i should leave some in my fridge back home but to my dismay, as the drinks were just about to fall...*bang* they got stuck and just stayed there.
"...."
[Seriously can my damn luck get any worse?!!]
I decided to gamble the rest of my money to try and knock the cans down and as they were about to hit them and fall....
*bang*
"...."
"Oh for fucks sake"
It was at this point I gave up and just sat down with my knees tucked into my chest
and my head buried into my arms next to the vending machine.
"Hey what are you doing there?"
I looked up to see the same girl from retribution the other day.I played my poker face so that she wouldn't become suspicious but in that dark alleyway and with my mask on she couldn't see my face but now that im wearing the same black mask will she recognize me and my voice?
"I'm currently experiencing an internal conflict with myself"
"I have no idea what your taking about but ok"
She looked at the vending machine and then back at me.
"Hey"
"what?
"how much did you spend to get this many drinks stuck?"
"...."
"2000 yen"
*bursts out in laughter*
"Hey now,don't you think it's rude to laugh at someone currently experiencing the ultimate despair a human being can possibly feel?"
"ah sorry,I've just never seen some body spend so much and get cucked so bad"She says as she removes a tear from her eye.
"well there's nothing I can do about it now is there?"
"Actually there is,stand back for a second"
[I don't know what she's gonna do but I have a bad feeling]
*Smash* She kicked the shit out that vending machine
"there's all your drinks and I'll take some too"
"For somebody who works for retribution you look quite happy when breaking the law"
"All I did was get your money back rightfully"
"Well thank you any way,I'll be off then"
[I can't afford to be found out now]
"bye then"
"yeah bye "
I walked as fast as I possibly could to escape this situation as it was getting dangerous.
"Wait a minute!He's the accomplice from yesterday!"
Looks like she found out but it's too late anyway.Hopefully she didn't see my school name on my uniform though.
I arrive back home and decide to do more research on my ability.I needed to get the same feeling I felt back then.I held my right arm out and imagined the energy flowing around my body like blood in the circulatory system.I felt it rush around my body like a river,I focused the energy on my right arm and I was standing on my balcony I pulled my arm back and went for punch
*bang*
*whoosh *
I heard a frightening sound come from the punch and saw that the direction in which I punched in had gust of wind travelling with ridiculous speed and force.As the winds eventually dispelled I was over come with pain all around my body and my right arm was in tatters.It seemed like this power had serious repercussions.
After waiting for the pain to calm down I looked at my arm and inspected it only to see that the bone was intact but my flesh and muscle were torn from the inside.If I wanted to use this ability I needed to master it and start training more seriously,but it wasn't like was aiming to become a professional esper.
I just wanted a normal life but I decided that training the power could help me in the future so that exactly what I was going to do but first I need some sleep and I needed to visit a doctor in the early morning and i had just the person in mind.

11:36 am
Somewhere in an unknown location trouble was unknowingly starting to brew
.
*recording plays*
"hmmm...how interesting,not only does he look trained to the peak in martial arts he has an ability which cancels out others although it looked his first time using it,An ability like that has never been seen before but I feel like there's more to it than that.I should keep an eye out for this kid.If he is actually with that organization it would be better to dispose of him but if he isn't...I might as well recruit him"

_Jynx_ As you can probably see I'm using brackets with the speakers name in them to make sure the dialogue doesn't get confusing.Ifeel like this was a problem before.
