Malcolm the homeroom teacher of CLASS E, took his new students around the school as a guide.
During the tour, Ash saw the Hunters academy stadium, the grand arena where battles between strong ability users from CLASS A-E were fought. All these, just to get scouted by famous Hunter guilds and to get promoted to other classes.
The stadium was restricted at the moment since there's no need for it. As they walk past the hall. Ash accidentally stepped on a seniors foot.
"Ouch, what the hell. Are you blind or something." The senior whose name was Jaden.
Jaden is a Class C student who is a rank D Level 19 ability user. He had a blonde hair, a yellow colored eyes, a tall well-built stature and a circular shaped face. He wore the Hunters academy uniform which was a maroon tie, a black blazer, a white long-sleeved inner wear and a maroon trouser.
Hunters academy and global Hunters power rankings (For the global, remove the classes behind the power gauge).
Class A = B40
Class B = C30
Class C = D20
Class D = E10
Class E = F
The numbers after the letters are showing the depth of power of each ability user. For example:
RANK B MINIMUM ABILITY USER IS 1 WHILE THE MAXIMUM IS 40.
"Chill dude." Kraine said trying to calm Jaden down.
"Was I talking to you?." Jaden replied glaring at Kraine. Ash doesn't want to put Kraine or anyone else in trouble, so he stepped forward pushing Kraine back.
"Am sorry, it was a mistake. Please don't vent your anger out on my classmates. Ash said bowing down his head.
"Shit, he did it." A boy said, who was among the many people that were watching.
Jaden doesn't like apologies, he finds a person who apologizes at any given mistake, weak. So when Ash apologized to him, he was anger strickened.
Jaden clenched his fist and conjured air from his hand punching Ash on the face. The force of the punch collided with the wind pressure sending Ash flying across the hall. Hitting the far end of hall, dust filled the scene.
"That kid is done for. A punch of that magnitude is enough to injure a rank C Level 1 ability user. His life is forfeit." A boy said from the crowd.
The dust cleared up and to the amazement of every body. They saw Ash simply adjusting his tie.
"How in the world is he still standing. Is this guy even human?." The crowd all chorused in synergy.
"I don't know how you did that but rest assured with my next move, I will. make sure that you never do that again.
He raised both his hands and coming from his palms were mini whirlwinds. He walked calmly towards Ash.
"You see these hands, they are the last things you will ever see." Jaden said, wearing a crooked smile.
As he attempted to attack Ash. Both Kraine and Malcolm stepped in. Malcolm held the hands of Jaden, stopping his movements and his whirlwind while Kraine stood in front of Ash and used his fire ability to place a wall between them and Jaden.
"Enough, I let you have your way even though he wasn't at fault. So stand down." Malcolm said
"Hey, are you OK? I mean that was not a funny attack." Kraine said looking back at Ash.
"I'm good. Thanks."
After seeing this, Jaden left the hall furiously with his followers.
"Shows over. Now go back to your class. Come on, get a move on." Malcolm said to the crowd. They left unhappy with the sudden interruption of the fight.
Ash was escorted by Kraine go the school clinic, to check up on his body. While Malcolm took the rest of the class to the E section, where students of Class E attend their lectures.
At the clinic, Kraine stood near Ash as they wait for the doctor's arrival.
"Dude, back there you scared me. I thought I lost a friend. Hah, hopefully you used your ability to reduce the impact of the punch. Am relieved. Kraine said with a relieved expression.
Ash looked at Kraine then to his foot, looking all sad.
"I.... Don't have an ability." Ash replied stammering. Kraine laughed at what Ash said thinking it was a joke.
"Come on man. How can I possibly believe you. I have never seen anyone without ability. Are you trying to be modest because it's not working. Do you mean that you survived that attack without any ability. That is impossible man. Kraine replied.
Ash after hearing this, looked at Kraine again and smiled.
"I didn't tell you this but it was because of this attribute of mine people started calling me all sort of names and above all, they didn't befriend me. So you wouldn't be the 1st person to runaway from me after finding out about my abnormal body. Ash said as he laid facing the opposite side where Kraine stood."
Kraine was about to reply when the doctor came and interrupted.
"Excuse me. Can you please wait outside. The doctor said. Kraine went outside to wait for Ash.
"Hmm, let me see that body of yours. I heard you fought with a senior and survived with little to no damage. Does your ability have to do with body hardening?." The doctor said as he diagnosed Ash's body.
"I don't have an ability." Ash replied.
"What is your name boy?." The doctor asked Ash.
"My name is Ash Lancer.
This boy is saying the truth, he doesn't exhibit any abilities and yet he does. It's as though he's not human. He is showing abnormal features that normal humans with abilities don't have. I will have to keep an eye on him in order to find out who or what he is. The doctor thought to himself.
"Ash, you can go now and regarding your ability issue... I believe you. By the way, my name is Doctor Stefan Strange. You can me Stefan. Feel free to come visit anytime." The doctor said.
Ash Left the clinic only to see Kraine standing at the clinic's door way.
