"That's enough for now." Prof. Hiro stepped in between Sandy and Delia. Some how he wasn't scared of their powers, but standing in between them was awkward though. He looked from Sandy, then to Delia and seeing both of them are still in mid air and not stopping.. An invisible sphere blasted out from Prof. Hiro through out the room.
Something very strange happened amongst everyone in the room, things that can't be explained easily. Sandy's lightning god mode suddenly disappeared, Delia's snow demon mode gone too and Neil barely felt the pain in his neck. "Now that's strange." Neil whispered
"Thats Prof. Hiro's powers." Jade replied
"Huh." Neil surprised "what's that power?"
"I myself haven't figure it out yet." Jade said with a long face "Each time he does it, it neutralizes the powers of any gifted around making them human that instant."
"I see." Neil commented "No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
"Huh... Oh, I wasn't talking to you."
Neil had always suspected that Prof. Hiro was different because he wasn't able to read him back then in the office. Did he neutralize his gift? Thats a powerful gift he has there, this school is filled with powerful individual. No wonder his aunt recommended it to his dad.
"This school is bad ass." Neil thought.
"Now that's enough, you two." Prof. Hiro said catching both fist in the mid air, and pushing it away. Placed his hands on their shoulders, pushed them away from each other.. Both landed with their feets and began a panting and staring competition, Prof. Hiro looked from Sandy to Delia and back to Sandy again. Then he finally turned to Delia and gave her a look that neither Sandy nor Neil understood. But Delia nodded, she turned; went over to her gloves, picked them and put them on.
Her stare towards Jade was understandable, she nodded and turned towards Neil with a flirting smile. That smile, it reminded her of the girl in the train station.
"I hope to see you soon kinddie." She laughed, got up with effort and walked towards Delia with effort. Neil watched as they walked away, Delia left without even looking back and somehow it kinda hurt.... But the question is why. He just suddenly felt a connection to her, somehow she was somehow in pains.
Sandy looked at Neil and saw he was looking at Delia without blinking, he looked at Prof. Hiro who had a gentle grin on his face. Sandy tip toed towards Neil who was still staring at the girls, as he was about to give him a cause to shiver.
"Don't even think about it Sandy." Neil smiled, he turned to see Sandy in a frozen gesture
"His gifts has activated, why's that so professor?" Sandy asked Prof. Hiro
"Because I've deactivated my gifts already Sandy, guess you didn't noticed." Prof. Hiro replied.
"He's not the sensitive type." Neil closed his eyes and smiled
"Hey, are you both trying to tell me that I am dumb." Sandy asked angrily, although he looked funny when he has that face on.
"No one said so." Prof. Hiro calmed Sandy down. "Now you both need to go to the sick bay."
"But we're just new here." Neil complained
"Yeah." Sandy agreed.
Prof. Hiro smiled, turned around and began to walk away while the boys. Neil although weak was helped out by Sandy as they walked out, Prof. Hiro waved at another teacher who was passing by.
"Mr Natsu... Can I ask of a favor?" He said closing his eyes with a friendly smile on his face.
Sandy sat beside Neil whom has just received a first-aid treatment from one of the healers in the academy.
"How bad?" Neil asked
"You will be fine, they didn't penetrate that much." The healer said
"Thank you." Neil complemented
"You're welcome." The healer said, turning around to leave "By the way... How did you get them?"
"He was reckless." Sandy pointed
Smack.... Neil gave Sandy a slap on his head driving his head to the table, the healer chuckled with her file over her mouth.
"Care to repeat that?" Neil asked
"What the hell is your problem eh?" Sandy snared
"I'm never ever gonna cover your ass again." Neil said, resting his head on the pillow.
"I will be on my way now." The healer said
"We didn't catch your name, you know." Sandy flirts with a wink
"It's Ariel, and nice to meet you two." The healer said and left
"Men, she's hot." Sandy said having a perverts face on.
"Ugh.... Are kidding me." Neil thought rolling his eyes. "Are you a pervert?" He spoke out.
"You know she got the hips..... Nice figure eight..... Pink jelly lips... Or that breas...." Sandy wasn't finished his statement
"hmmm hm mm." Prof. Hiro coughed freezing Sandy on the spot, he is all sweaty now like it was raining. He turned shaking before meeting the dark evil face of Prof. Hiro, his hands were behind him and an evil grin went across his face and the only thing shining in the face was the teeth and the eyes which reminded him of the horror movie he watched.
"Don't....." Prof. Hiro started "Try anything silly with my healer... Or else." He moved his face closer to Sandy who was melting like a wax and wishing the ground would swallow him up.
"There's gonna be problem, you wanna have a problem with me ehh?" He mimicked Sandy's vocabularies and grinned showing a wolf like teeth. Sandy gulped and nodded a thousand times without stopping.
"Glad we are on the same page." He lifted his head.
"Did we get the admission?" Neil asked without looking at Prof. Hiro
"Well.....!" He started slowly
"Well?" Neil asked looking at him
"I'm sorry to announce to you that..." He stopped and saw disappointed faces staring at him "You got the admission..... And you're in class D."
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo." Sandy yelled in tears
"And tell me why you are yelling?" Neil asked although he was disappointed in himself, he didn't get the A nor the B but a D admission.... This made his aura go down, really down.
"Congrats." Prof. Hiro said and left, Sandy was still mourning
"Why a class D?" He repeated a thousand times without stopping nor taking a break, almost crying.
"Hmmmm." Neil sighed, interlocked his fingers and rested it on his chest. "Now I am a disappointment."
At mid-night, Neil lay on his bed staring at the ceiling.. Sandy was on the other end of the room, half asleep.
Neil haven't stop thinking not about his admission into class D, but it was funny though because his memories of Delia began to flow like flashback. Her blank expression, emotionless eyes, the short hair, pale skin. All these has been flowing through his mind and it worried him because the only person he ever thought about was Nara. Why is she on his mind? He has watched movies and knows that when you think of someone, it's either you are in love with the person or you dislike the person... But his own was different, he doesn't have feelings for her but he could feel that she is not happy. Their duel makes him know that the other girl was fighting alone and she the same, that seemed off. It's like she was in pains, like she was sad. All alone.....
"Sandy." Neil called out "you awake?"
"Yeah." Sandy answered half awake
"Did you notice something about the girl we fought with?" Neil asked
"Which of them?"
"The ice girl."
"Oh, you mean the snow witch?"
"Yeah." Neil sighed "it's like she wasn't in a good mood, did you noticed her face bore no emotions?"
"Yeah, she seemed sad."
"I thought as much.... She looked like someone in pains."
"Who cares?" Sandy stretched "not that I care anyway."
"So what do you think?" Neil looked at Sandy
Sandy got up and leaned on his elbow looking back at Neil, made a gesture of someone walking away with his fingers "Let go." He whispered and lay back.
"And besides we have other things we need to worry about." He finished
"Yeah." Neil nodded and lay back too "you are right."
"It's like you're falling for her ehh?" Sandy mocked
"Nope." Neil rolled his eyes "I was only thinking that maybe we could become her friend, you know?"
"I rather becomes a friend with an idiot, than be her friend."
"Do you mean an idiot like you." Neil thought and chuckled
"So how are going in tomorrow?"
"Normal and try not to find attention from anyone."
"Bad plan."
"That's what I want, don't forget you owe me."
"Ugh..... Whatever."
The next day, Neil and Sandy walked towards their new classroom. Neil felt a little pressure in his spine, it's a new school and he doesn't know how they are going to treat him. But Sandy was sad, this was not he wanted.... He needed a lively class an not a grave-yard-silent-killing class, he rolls his eye; placed his hand in his pocket and head on. He noticed something was missing, he lifted his head and saw Neil way ahead of him.
"Dude wait up." He tried to catch up "I thought we were going in together with a nice entry."
"Nope." Neil disagreed "no entry."
"Dude.... You're no fun."
"We will just go in and sit.... That's all."
Both came to the door and saw a big class sign with a big inscription of D on it, the letter written with red. Both of them gulped and stared at each other for few minutes.
"Remember.... No entry." Neil whispered as he lifted his hand to hold the knob.
"Ok." Sandy replied.
Neil twisted the knob, opened the door and expecting a quiet normal student sitting on their chair.. Reading their textbook or doing something smart with their well coordinated ironed uniform like his. Wow, what a perfect class; he drew in air and pushed the door to see...... To see......
