Class began quickly after Kip received his ability pill. Today's first lesson was on the history of the Ragnor and how the war started. The Ragnor were known to have come from another solar system which is also how they received their name. Nobody knew the planet they came from but the Ragnorthenite solar system is where their ships originated from. They left a portal on the furthest outskirts of our solar system which led to their solar system. Unfortunately humans weren't able to establish a foothold there yet.
The Ragnor crossed over about 100 years before they began their assault. They established lives among our people to learn about us and to find out weaknesses. Despite our technological advances we fell far behind the Ragnor. We didnt find out about beast gear and abilities till the war had started and they had practically brought us to our knees. A scientist by the name of Yarrius is who brought us the means to fight back. He created pills which he used from materials out of different planets beasts. At first these pills were distributed freely as humans needed to fight back to survive. bu about halfway through the war when fighting had slowed down a monopoly was created as the military and some families found out the great amount of money they could make off of making others stronger. Unfortunately despite the dissent this caused in humanity they knew they had to deal with it if they wanted to keep pushing back the Ragnor.
Eventually after 100 year struggle the humans pushed the Ragnor to a stand still. A couple of prominent figures rose to the forefront due to these battles. One of those figures had a statue made in his honor in the military courtyard. Thomas Richards famous for being the first to obtain a god tier weapon and for his feats in battle against the Ragnor.
After We finally pushed the Ragnor back humans created factions for two reasons:
1. To provide unity to humanity.
2. To establish a highly competitive nature so that way we don't lose more to the Ragnors.
We also created security measures that finally worked to detect ragnors. There are towers on every planet humanity has left that sounds an alarm to every faction and military base to warn of approaching Ragnor ships. Due to their ability to blend into humanity after killing them we would collect bodies to inspect their biology and anatomy. After years of research we developed a technology that could specifically scan their cellular make up. This helped to turn the war as we were able to tell when and where they were attacking in large numbers.
Fortunately for us due to their unique physique they didnt like to use their wings for battle. When they were out it was the weakest part of their bodies and for them it was like losing a leg or an arm if it was damaged.
Like humans the Ragnor had ways to classify how strong they were. it was brought on by the color of the scales on their body. There were 5 tiers humans knew about. Blue being the weakest, then green, yellow, pink, and red. Rumors were there was a black scaled Ragnor, but they never held as no one believed there could be something stronger than red which were already rarely seen.
As history class came to an end the students couldn't get out of the room fast enough. Thaleus and friends left together still staring intently at Kip waiting for him to break the news of his ability. "Oh, come on guys can you at least give me the chance to try out my ability before staring at me like rabid dogs" Kip pleaded. "But, Kip we wanna knowww" Derek whined. "No means no man, ya'll can see what my ability is after I've practiced with it a bit." With that they didn't ask again. They knew that they would see it sooner or later. They continued walking until they reached the vending machines near their dorm rooms. Kip bought himself a water and brought out his pill. "Well here's to the turning of a new leaf." He threw back the pill with some water. Then he disappeared.
