70 years ago, in the year 2024 a phenomenon swept all across the world. A person started emitting raw energy. From there the energy spread rapidly across the world, blanketing it and transferring into the bodies of random people.

Most people got sick from the sudden energy and were admitted into hospitals, causing many hospitals to set up tents outside to tend to patients.

Humans weren't the only things affected by the energy though. Animals and bugs started to mutate into grotesque beasts that we called Psychic Beasts. Unoriginal I know, right.

After people got out of the hospitals, they started to exhibit strange abilities akin to different types of Kinesis from comics and movies.

Once humans gained control over their abilities, they waged war against the beasts. For about 50 years the battle went on, until 12 people with incredible Psychic abilities stepped forward and wiped out almost all of the Psychic Beasts.

The battle had many casualties and resulted in humanities population being cut in half. The twelve that stepped forward were awarded with medals of honor and each started their own households that were established as the twelve great houses and dispersed across the world.

Since the threat of Psychic Beasts lowered significantly, people decided to use their abilities for their own selfish desires, like controlling the underworld or committing crimes such as murder and other things like it.

To retaliate against these people working for their own interest and against the still prevalent Psychic Beasts, many schools were created that taught students how to control their Psychic powers to fight against these people and beasts as Agents.

"Hey aniki! Wait for me!" A girl called out to her supposed big brother. She was wearing a uniform. It consisted of an open white blazer over a white dress shirt and red tie. She wore a red skirt and socks that came up to her mid thighs and pearl white combat boots with a considerably sized heel. Hanging from her waist was the hilt of a katana, everything except for the blade, held up by a sheath. She normally would have been 5'3" but with her heels she was 5'5". The girl had a slender face and rosy cheeks. Her sky blue eyes locked onto her brother's back. Purple back length hair waved in the wind behind her as she ran to catch up.

The boy she was calling out to turned to show his head. The uniform he wore was similar to his sister's. He kept the royal red blazer unbuttoned and his black tie and white dress shirt's collar loose. Instead of a skirt there was pants that came around his royal red high-tops.  He stood at 5'9" and had black hair that swept over his right eye and his left eye was red. Just under his left eye and to the right was a beauty mark.

As he looks over his shoulder, he stops and turns fully to look at his little sister. "If you're going to take forever I'll just leave you and get to the academy first, Xana." He gave a fake looking closed eye smile before turning back around and walking again, this time at a slower pace.

When Xana finally caught up she elbowed him in the ribs. "So mean, Suoh." She pouted and he ruffled her hair affectionately, but making sure not to mess it up.

"Anyways let's hurry. They won't wait for anyone, not even you."

"Fine. But after school you're getting me ice cream."

They both approached the gates and students were flowing in. Some of the girls taking a peek at Suoh and boys drooling over Xana. Suoh just pretended not to notice and just continued to walk forward, reaching the main doors quickly and walking in with his sister close behind.

They finally stopped in front of the auditorium's main doors.

"Okay Xana, you go over to the first year's side. I'll be able to figure out where the second year's orientation is. I can only see a few in there that might pose a bit of a problem though." He waved her goodbye and started to walk to the right.

"See you later." She waved to him with a smile and he returned it with a small but genuine smile.

Suoh walked his way to a door at the far end of the hallway that led to the second year side of the auditorium. He quickly opened to door and got seated in the back, just waiting for the rest of the students to file in and for the orientation speech to start.

"Is this seat taken?" A tall boy pointed to the seat next to Suoh and he shook his head with a stoic expression still present. But on the inside he was intrigued by the boy. His Aura levels were through the roof and was shaped like a dense water bubble, clinging desperately onto him. 'An Aura level that surpasses almost everyone in here, interesting.'

"No, go ahead."

"Thanks." He sat down and started observing Suoh. He looked him up and down, checking him out and trying to figure him out. Suoh of course thought it was understandable, especially when he supposedly acted weird, in the words of his sister.

While Suoh was processing everything, such as his classes and which club he would join, a girl with white hair done up in a high ponytail that stopped at her mid back and bangs that covered her left eye walked onto the stage. Her uniform also was different in the fact that the blazer was white and her skirt was red. In addition to that she wore knee high white combat boots with heels. She stopped at a podium that had a microphone coming from it.

'She also has a higher Aura level than most. These two monsters are in the same year as me? Akira alone would have been enough but now this guy too.'

"Hello students, and welcome to Suzuran Academy." When they heard her voice everyone quieted down quickly. "I'm your student council president and second year class rep, Akira Kitagawa."

She went on to give a short speech about how happy she was to have all of the new and returning students there with her for the new year. She then briefly explained how the the school worked in terms of ranking.

"If you're worried about the ranking system, I'll explain that now. We only properly rank the top 20 students in the school based on combat abilities. The higher strength you have, the more privileges you get access to here. The Elite 10 get private dorms and private lunches of their choice. In addition to that, they get access to the exclusive training grounds in the back of the school, and when it comes to the time to pick weapons they've got first choice of that as well."

She pulled out a sheet and started reading off of it. "It would be unfair to have the Elite 10 encompass all grades 1 through 3 so we have one for each year, all the tops of their grades. In terms of raw power at the entrance exams, these are the current Elite 10 rankings." On the screen behind her three lists of names came up.

"These are the Elite 30 students we have recognized as the top of their grades and as such they will be escorted to their person dorms immediately following orientation. I am looking forward to this year's new curriculum and what will come of it. Thank you."

She stepped off of the podium, but the rankings remained on the giant holographic screen behind her. "Kyoko Kokawa, seems fun." Suoh whispered to himself as he stood up and walked past the boy sitting next to him and into the isle, wanting to get out and to his dorm as soon as possible.

A boy who looked to be a year or so older than him Suoh pushed past him and stopped at the boy from earlier, which caught his attention.

"Mr.Kei, we need to be going to your dorm before the hallways become too crowded."

It clicked for Suoh exactly why Kei's Aura was the way it was. 'So the Adachi's special type Hydrokinesis shapes their Aura like that. It is much denser than other Hydrokinesis user's normally watery Aura.'

Since the lights had been turned back on he could see the color of Kei's uniform, and it was the same color scheme as Akira's just with pants.

He sped through the crowd, making sure not to accidentally bump into something or someone, maneuvering around it all flexibly and getting out of the auditorium.

"Hello, Suoh-san." He slowly turned his head to face Akira, one of the few people in the school he met before.

"Hi Akira-san." He looked at Akira, and she was still the same cold hearted girl she was from back when they met the first time.

In truth the two were so alike each other in almost all aspects even personalities, excluding Aura and kinetic abilities they could just be gender swaps of each other, which was exactly why they hated each other the first time they met.

"I'd not expected to meet you so soon."

"Same here. You're escorting the full group of second year Elite 10s?"

She nodded and moved to the side to show the full group. "As perceptive as always Suoh-san."

As she moved, the invisibility and stealth barrier behind her was lowered. Once it was down Suoh looked everyone over.

"It seems as if there all monsters like you, but still, I'd say that regardless of raw power, only a few can stack up to you in a fight." He slowly examined everyone, locking eyes with Kei for a moment and then passing over him and stopping at Kyoko.

Kyoko was a beautiful girl. She had long red hair that reached to her back. Her bangs came down from the side of her face and stopped at her shoulders. One bang in the middle went over the right side of her nose. She had bright blue eyes and stood at a short 4'8". She also wore a white navy style cap and had her blazer hanging off her shoulders with her arms out of the sleeves. Her left arm rested on the hilt of a broadsword.

The girl's Aura was just as strange as the way she dressed. It held immense power but was contained skillfully around all of the Elite 10. The way it flowed and stopped at timed intervals made it like a small sensory field in which she could perceive anything. The way it moved also made it hard to predict exactly where it would extend to, making surprise attacks nearly impossible.

A guy from the back of the group spoke up to Akira. "Hey, who does this guy think that he is to say something like that?!"

"He's someone who would've been in the Elite 10 if the grading standards for who got in initially were different, Kosuke-san."

A few eyes widened. "I'm not sure that's true with the level of fighter that these guys could be at."

"You really should stop downplaying yourself, it's unflattering." The two stoic people looked at each other for a bit before breaking eye contact.

He waved goodbye and walked away slowly. Nori (the second strongest Elite 10 member in the second year) turned to look at the Elite 10 of her grade and started thinking.

'I should watch out for him. He's able to get past my barriers like there nothing. I was using an invisibility, soundless, misdirection, and concealment barrier around us and he could still sense all of us.'

~~

Suoh walked through the open field toward the student dorm. "Finally." He walked into the front door of the giant building and up the stairs. He looked at the watch on his wrist and a holographic screen came up. "Okay, room 203."

He walked in to see two people already in the room. One was on the bottom bunk of a bed an the other rested on the top bunk, both seemed to be honing their Aura in one way or another.

He quietly stepped to the bunk bed on the other side of the room and lied down on the bottom bunk of that bed.

Soon the two meditating on their beds opened their eyes and came back into consciousness. "Seems like you two are finally finished. I'm your new roommate, Suoh." A fake smile came onto his face. Not that his roommates could tell though.

"Hello! I'm Santo, and this guy is Ryouta! Nice to meet you!" Santo—the guy that was on the top bunk— jumped down to formally greet Suoh.

Santo was a boy with sunny blonde hair that was hanging over his face but hadn't reached his eyes yet. He had light green eyes and stood at about 5'11". "I've got Seismokinesis, so I can basically control vibrations."

He nudged Ryouta who had stood up while Santo was introducing himself. "A-as you already know, I-I'm Ryouta... and I have P-p-phyllokinesis, the ability to create and control plants and stuff."

Ryouta was a smaller boy. He was 5'4" and had short green hair. His eyes were blue, and whole they may have seemed innocent, he had seen something's he didn't want to. Even his voice was small and he looked like a girl, the perfect definition of a trap.

"Nice to meet you two." Suoh extended his hand for Souta to take, which he did. He did the same for Ryouta and then walked over to his bed and sat down.

"If we're going to be roommates we should at least get to know each other, right. So until curfew how about we hang out a bit." Being the outgoing person he was Souta made the suggestion.

"Y-yeah sure. Sounds like a good i-idea."

"I am not opposed to the idea."

"Okay then! First order of business is to get you two to be more open! Specifically Suoh needs to stop being so stoic and Ryouta needs more confidence."

Later In the Girl's Side of the Elite 10 Dorm

"I'm here again. When we first came back none of the second or third years were here, but they should be now." Xana stood in front of the dark oak door that led to her room. She put her hand onto the handle slowly and opened the door to see 4 girls all sitting on their own respective full size beds.

Due to the nature of the Elite 10 and there only being 30 of them, they bunked in groups of 5 and split off into the girls and boys sides. Allowing the first through third years to all be bunking in the same rooms as one another.

Not wasting any time, she went over to the only open bed and sat down. She then reached down next to her skirt and pulled a device that looked like the hilt of a katana, including the Tsuba and Habaki down on the small stand next to her bed.

"Hi, nice to meet you guys, I'm Xana. A first year." Xana took the chance to introduce herself to the rest of her dorm mates in their silence.

A short girl with blue hair that was on the bed to the right of Xana's was the first to introduce herself after Xana. The girl had an oversized blue shirt on along with her panties and had fluffy slippers. "The names Chiaki and I'm a first year!"

Xana sent Chiaki a quick nod before the next girl started introduce herself. The girl to the left of her was next. She wore simple white pajama pants along with a black tank top that would allow you to see her large chest. She had long blonde hair done into a braid that swept over her right shoulder and piercing icy blue eyes she was even called the first queen of the school. "Cara DeRose. Third year."

Two beds to the right of Xana the next girl spoke. She had lightly tanned skin and dark brown hair that almost looked black. She had soft stark grey eyes that that looked inviting. She wore a black night gown and had a sleeping mask on her forehead at the moment. "I'm Nori, a second year!"

The final girl was three beds to the right of Xana. Sitting there was the second queen of the school. "Akira Kitagawa, second year." She was wearing a white t shirt and black athletic shorts. Her hair was also undone from its ponytail and came down to her butt.

Cara continued on with the conversation before anyone could object. "If that is all you wanted to know then I will be sleeping." Everyone quickly laid down in bed and Xana changed as she laid down and waited until morning.

The Next Morning at the Boys Dorm

Suoh woke up at 5:30 am, did a set of 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats and got dressed into his uniform. His roommates weren't awake yet so her quietly left and went to the cafeteria where he got breakfast. He took the breakfast for that morning and started to make his way to his classroom. By then in was 6:15, 15 minutes until class started.

He turned at the door that said 2-C and walked in. When he looked around only Akira was there. She sat in the first row and gazed out the window to her left while resting her head on her right arm.

He took a seat in the back row by the window and finished his food before anymore students could arrive. Once he had put away his tray and plate he sat back down and ignored Akira.

Suoh and Akira might have been acquainted with each other and respect the other's strength, but it didn't mean that they particularly liked each other. In addition to that there was no concrete victor of their last battle, in other words their fight was still going on in their opinions.

With the way the two were it was even less likely for them to like one another. Both of them really only cared for their younger siblings and couldn't care less about anything else. And since they didn't like other people or understand them for that matter, the fact that they somewhat were able to understand the other unnerved them.

That effect was only magnified by the fact that their kinetic abilities were able to counter each other's. After they waited a considerable amount of time, their teacher came in with the rest of the students following not long after.

Their teacher was what most girls considered handsome. He had dark green eyes and black hair. He stood at 6'5" and towered over most students and teachers in the school. He wore the standard black blazer all teachers were required to and a white under shirt. His pants were also black while his shoes were white.

"Good morning everyone, I am Ichirou Bushida, your homeroom teacher for this year. As a few of the students in class this year were not present last year, we will be doing call out roll call." The man named Ichirou reached under the desk and pulled out a clipboard.

The list didn't seem to be in any alphabetical order, so he was essentially just calling out names by random. After about half the class had been called he got to the more important names. "Kyoko Kokawa."

"Ugh, Here."

"Akira Kitagawa."

"Here."

"Kosuke Gotoh."

"Here."

"Suoh Kamiyama."

"Here."

Kosuke clicked his tongue in annoyance at the fact that both Akira and Suoh were in his class. At the moment they were just emotionless expressionless robots that seemed to be rude to everyone.

The list continued on for a bit with only a few students missing. "Since basically everyone is here I'll start explaining the plans for the day. Every second year class will be gathering in the second year's gymnasium to test their Aura levels, control, density, as well as picking out personal hilts from the armory."

He pressed a button on his podium at the front of the class and the desks started to open. "These are your school provided Agent in training suits that help with circulation and output of Aura."

One male student from the back was confused. And rightly so. "But there's only a black glass wristband in here."

Ichirou nodded. "With the new Aura Nanotechnology that was developed by Kitagawa Corp. we will have the ability to use these watches and equip the suits. Simply flare your Aura into the watch, and this will happen."

He motioned for the students to watch his wrist as he channeled Aura into his watch. The watch expanded up his arm and then to his torso. It went to cover his other arm and he was soon cloaked in a tight white shirt and black thin pants showing off his muscled body.

From there an open bomber black jacket looking thing formed on his torso and arms with the sleeves being white and the cuffs being black. On his legs black khaki pants came and on his feet he gained J*rdan 1 looking white and black high tops with white soles.

The students looked on in awe as in only 2 seconds the Agent Uniform had been fully formed.

Ichirou spoke again to the class. "Because I am an official Agent the color of my suit is dependent on my rank, as such being students of Suzuran Academy, instead of white, your suits will be red and carry the school emblem over your heart."

The eager students all snapped their wristbands on via the clasp the allowed the wristband to open and got into their gear.

"I have high hopes for this class." But attention was drawn away from Ichirou when Akira, Kosuke, and Kyoko activated their wristbands.

The colors of their suits were inverted. With black where the red should have been and red where the black should've been. "I forgot to mention that the Elite 10 are the school's equivalent to Executives in the Agency. As a result just like the executive's inverted suits, the Elite 10 will have them as well."

Kosuke put a confident smirk onto his face as he watched the other students look at him with envy. Kyoko just smiled happily. While Akira kept her neutral face on.

Not wanting to be hasty, Suoh picked up his band and examined it. He snapped it onto his wrist and he put the smallest bit of Aura into as possible. The suit formed normally and had no problems but regardless he felt as if nothing good could happen that day.

"Now let's all get going to the testing Area. I'm not know for my patience, especially with my abilities. So please walk through the door and stop on the other side."

The students listend to his strands request and stayed still when they walked through the door. When they came out of the doorway they were in the line in the gymnasium waiting for their turns.

'Dimensiokinesis, useful.' Suoh thought after he walked through the gateway that his teacher had just created.

Many of the students were in shock but recovered quickly. Once everyone in the class had walked through Ichirou followed.

"Okay everyone, our class will be up after 2-B who is testing right now. Keep in mind that the amount of Aura someone has is only the first factor in a fight. If you can't control it well it's basically useless."

He was speaking to his students but most of them only heard the first part of what he wanted to tell them.

"I already know how much Aura I have so this is useless to me, except for the part about the density." Kosuke was being arrogant again, but he had good reason to be. Kosuke had the third largest signature in the class, just behind Akira and Kyoko in terms of quantity.

The person standing next to a large white orb that was about 8' tall started to speak. "Class 2-B has finished their testing successfully and we ask that Class 2-C lines up next."

They were the last class to get tested with both 2-A and 2-B leaving immediately after they tested.

A lot of unremarkable results came by. Most students ranked at C in terms of Aura quantity and D in density.

"Next student please."

"Here." Kosuke spoke with arrogance but the proctor didn't seem to care.

"Place your hand on the orb. Your Aura will be gaged from F to S rank. Depending on the color and it's intensity you will be given your density as well."

He placed his hand onto the orb and did nothing, after a few seconds the color changed to a light blue.

"Kosuke Gotoh, A-rank quantity, C-rank density, low medium control." He just smirked and walked back over to where the rest of the class was waiting.

"Next student please."

"Here." Akira was much more humble than Kosuke and walked up to the orb, not waiting for an explanation and placing her hand on it.

Once she did the orb reacted immediately, becoming a standard blue color that was only a bit darker than Kosuke's.

"Akira Kitagawa, A-rank quantity, B-rank density, high medium control."

Ichirou himself was surprised by the density of Akira's Aura. With her amount of Aura she had her attacks would be more potent than those of the same rank as her and maybe even breach on S-rank territory.

"Next student please."

"Here!" Kyoko walked up to the orb seemingly annoyed and placed her hand on it. At the same speed Akira's had lit up, hers did too. But instead of a blue color it was red.

"Kyoko Kokawa, S-rank quantity, C-rank density, medium control.

Although the proctor wasn't surprised most students were. The fact that someone in the same year as them had S-rank amounts of Aura was incredible as the difference between A and S ranks were huge.

"Next student please."

"Here."

Suoh calmly walked up to the orb and listened to the explanation that the proctor gave. He then placed his hand onto the sphere and after a few seconds it glowed pure deep purple. Not a single spot of the original orb could be seen and it was incredibly dark.

"Suoh Kamiyama, F-rank quantity, SS-rank density, master level control."
