Chapter 12 - The New Era

New Era is a school focused on educating Superhumans, but it's more like an Academy to teach us how to better control our powers. The topics here are: Development, Adaptation, and Career Project.

Development is to develop our skills, teach us how to use them in a moderate and controlled way, to have a common life in society; Adaptation is focused on reducing side effects or solving common problems regarding superpowers; Career Project is what most choose, mainly because Career Project is focused on training and improving skills, in favor of creating new heroes.

I obviously already know how to use my powers efficiently, and I will choose Adaptation to reduce side effects like my Headache and Insomnia.

The school is on an Artificial Island, which can move around the ocean, usually to where it has more favorable weather conditions. We are currently close to the Caribbean. Saiki is in the Research Department, they are studying her power, "Rupture", I make daily visits to ask how the research is going, and to keep the brat company.

It has been confirmed that her power causes a Spatial Distortion, which generally causes side effects in the Atmosphere and generates Seismic Energy sometimes. It can basically generate a miniature of an Event Horizon, creating a Portal if used on solid surfaces. The portal must not be opened for more than 10 seconds, otherwise it may cause quakes or storms.

Thanks to New Era, the United States and other countries have considered the option of forming the New Era International Union, for the development of students' citizenship, and the well-being of the general population.

What is happening in my school life? Pretty Normal ... Everyone avoids talking to me, I study, solve questions, and I was invited to participate in the School Council, and in charge of Chemistry Projects. And the monitoring was reduced, they just watch me through security cameras ... To an ex Super Villain, I look like an ordinary person.

On Saturday, We don't take classes, and students are free to go wherever they want (inside the island), and I reserve Saturday to visit Saiki.

She doesn't know her birthday, speculated that her age is distorted, so she probably lived more than 100 years. So we went for ice cream again, looking at the sea;

[Saiki]- "Degen?"

[Me]- "Yeah?"

[Saiki]- "I heared that Degenerator is your nickname... What is your true name?"

[Me]- "... Allen, my name is Allen Hiruko. And your name is Saiki Hiruko..."

[Saiki]- "...Eh? Wait, why I have the same name as you?"

[Me]- "My mother told me that if she had a daughter, she would be called Saiki."

[Saiki]- "So you adopted me as your little sister? It is possible?"

[Me]- "If not, I don't care. Since when do we need to care what others think of us, if we are a family?"

I always try to give her a life lesson, as she is young, and may have a different future than mine. On Sunday, I heard something very strange among the students ... They were competing who could find out more about me ... Like ... My taste for girls, favorite food, why my hair is half black and white ...

I am not on display here! Stop thinking strange things! Is weird!
