Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Systems of Power

After a few days, school finally started back up again, and everyone met at the front doors. However something was different, completely different. The whole building way rebuilt into what seemed like a teen hero building in a way, but set like a large building that seemed to be something a wizard school would be like. It was definitely strange, as well as the new principal, who was a 6 winged demon with long blonde hair in a ponytail, and had a full suit and tie with black pants and dress shoes. "Hello students of the new Vigilante Academy!! Can I get a "Heya Principal" from all you young heroes?" he yelled out, but no one answered as they wondered what in the hell was going on. Harris then flew overhead and took the microphone. "Apologies for his..outburst. I know this seems strange but trust me this has a purpose. We realized that maybe our police force isn't enough to protect the realms, and we need to help train those that wish to assist in that. I won't ask you to do anything life threatening against your will, so if you wish to go to your regular classes, then head to the regular building behind this one here." he said, but no one went to that building, and went into the new one which was a bit surprising. They all sat in the auditorium, and waited for someone to give a speech, so Harris went in. One of the students ran up to give him something about the power system of the world for some reason, so he decided to improvise on it.

"So, as you all may know, this world is just one among many in the multiverse. There's all types of worlds with many..maaaany types of beings. It's part of my job to make sure that these realms are protected, doesn't matter if I'm a god or not, it's my job. Also it's my job to educate you on the world's primary superpowers. Not..in the political sense at all though. The Eastern Continent uses Majutsu, primarily the Kuji Kiri method with a mix of tantra and mantra as well. As for the West, we use Ars Magus. It's essentially just what magic and technology combined is. Think of it like you're using a set of system commands, but in a magic sense. Sorry if that didn't make much sense, but it's better if I showed you. Who wants to see some sweet magic real quick?" he asked, and everyone raised their hands, so Harris started the process. "Restriction 12 unlocked, beginning summoning from Sector 15 of the Blizzard Branch, Imaginary Number Field developing. Summoning: Jötunn." he chanted and summoned a massive frost giant on stage. However it was asleep so it didn't realize it had been summoned at all, and no one made a sound to wake it up, but they got a little closer to see it up close and personal. It looked massive and had a large frosty beard with long fangs pointing upwards, and it was completely blue and seemed to have very thick skin due to living in a frosty land. Harris sent it back to it's home before it realized what had happened, and everyone cheered. "I don't want to take up your time, so I hope all of you enjoy your time here, and I'll see you in training." he said before he disappeared in a thick mist. Everyone clapped for him and for his demonstration, and waited for a teacher to come in and guide them to their classes.

After about 30 minutes, they all got an individual paper that had questions of which classes they would want, and their powers. When they finished, their papers vanished into data, and an AI being appeared on stage. "Greetings. I am called Sparta, the school's AI companion. I shall bring you to your classes, and help as best I can. Let us begin. Separate Shifting." Sparta said and all the teens floated into different classes, then began to cook food for everyone swiftly and thoroughly. Suzaku had gone to a class for those wishing to become Kannushi, or Shinto Priests. He felt like it would make his dad proud to become something as strong as a Sage. However Isaac and Kyubi were also in that class, and had their eyes on him in a competitive way, but oddly in a seductive way as well. Suzaku tried to keep his head down, but they kept looking at him anyway until the teacher came in. She was a Miko shrine maiden, dressed in familial attire, had short jet black hair that went to her shoulders, and striking green eyes.

"Good morning class, my name is..ironically Yuuki Onna. It's a yokai that takes the form of a woman who appears during extreme snow and cold. But I'm not one if that's what you're wondering, my parents saw one when I was born hehehe..." she said awkwardly, but no one said anything. "Anywho, I'm sure you're wondering if I'm really a Miko, and I can firmly say yes, trained professionally and now I'm certified to teach you. It may seem difficult at first but I promise the reward is worth it. Now, who can tell me what you use to summon a Shikigami. Note you'll be able to summon one if you answer. I'll give you one freebie today." she said. The class was going smoothly, as everyone seemed to be very interested. In another class, Orchid, Ray, and Eve sat in the Formulaic Spells class and learned with an alien man named Steve Redgrave. Kalgad, Isobu, and Zheng were in the Weapons and Combat class with a sentient suit of armor who called itself Greystone. Then everyone went to gym and had a little fun playing around like they used to, and just be normal kids without the threat of a being trying to be god. But then came the classic bully group, which was just three guys with powers that are opposites to each other. "Oh look, it's the boy band who thinks they're hot shit. Someone should tell them that the gym isn't hosting karaoke till next month. And those baggy jackets look like someone added 20 pounds to that overcompensating body you got. Now say your boring one liner from a nostalgic 90's film, make your threats about something no one cares about, kiss your girl, and piss all the way off before I bust out the baseball bat and bust those teeth of yours clean down your exhaust pipe." Isobu said with a smug look on his face, but the three guys stood there stunned in anger while everyone looked. All three of them went in for a punch to Isobu's face, but in a split second his arms seemed to flow like a stream and ended up punching the three boys in the chin, making them all fall like a sack of potatoes and he rubbed the tips of his fingers. "I believe that's check-mate. Didn't think I'd have to bust out Mr. Greystone's Water Strike techniques so soon." he said, but no one knew what he was talking about at all. "Lemme explain. Basically I use my energy and cause it to flow like water. Then I match my own physical movements with my energy, and it causes the sort of illusion that my arms turned to water. Then again the Hydro Mandala Jutsu, combined with my Raiju Tsuki Jutsu is basically my favorite combination ever." he boasted, but everyone knew that his pride in his skill was well deserved. Orchid explained that she learned to make element plants, and how to use them to fire beams of sunlight or form weapons from them. Kalgad showed everyone his new fan weapon with a pentagram on it and he used it to summon a small swirl of wind. All of them have shown to be gaining new skills, and they'd need it pretty soon.
