In this World magic and science walk hand in hand with each other and peace reigns.
But it wasn't always like this, for decades humanity had been fighting between each other on whether to use the mystical arts or to use the technologically advanced science… Until they arrived…
In spring of the year 1987 when tensions between the factions of Magic and Science were at their peak.
In between these factions lies a hidden group most know nothing of, those who would use dark magic and forbidden witchcraft… their name was known to only to a few, but the history books referred to them as the Dark Watchers, seeking power this hidden group delved deeper into the dark arts more than any ever had before.
The Dark Watchers wreaked havoc across the world answering to none other than themselves for over a decade, taking what they wanted…who they wanted… and there was nothing anyone could do.
What was left of the Two factions put aside their differences to use the last resources available to them to find a way to use magic and science together, instead of separately.
Barely able to drive the Watchers back, the world celebrated their victory and in that victory one man stood atop the remains of the war that had lasted over a decade, Lawrence Rogers inventor of the MannaCell.
A certain gene that the Magic faction would call Manna was the foundation of magic most in this faction could use Manna, but Lawrence of the magic faction found a way to harness nanotechnology and blend it together with magic to it to create the MannaCell which mutated the Manna that only Magic wielders could use, into something everyone can use.
Using his discovery, he distributed the MannaCell to everyone in the resistance to fight the Dark Watchers and while it was powerful, it proved barely enough to drive them back.
Even though the Dark Watchers were driven back Lawrence believed that one day they would return, and they would come back stronger. So, he decided to build a school teaching the future generations how to use the MannaCell and so… the Prestigious School of Mystical Technologies was founded.
30 Years Later
In a house on the coast there was a kid named Connor sits in his room practicing his singing.
'Today's your first day at SMT and your singing…' said a voice coming from behind the closed door.
Startled Connor replies: 'JESS, I TOLD YOU TO STOP USING YOUR MC TO SPY THROUGH THE DOOR!!'
The door opens to a young girl with blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, 'The fact that you couldn't sense your sister using her MC to spy on your little karaoke session is more embarrassing than your crappy singing' she said with a look of disgust.
'Doesn't matter you know the rules!!' He said while quickly putting away his headphones 'Yeah, whatever just hurry up and change it's time to go. You know how dad will freak if your late'
'I know, I know' Connor said while getting his uniform out of his closet
Slamming his door closed 'Just don't do it again!'
'Yeah, yeah, not like you could do anything about it anyways' Jess says as she skips down the hallway. 'I swear I'm going to make you eat those words' Connor grumbled. 'Heard that'
Connor rushed down the stairs while putting on his jacket yelling 'JESS!! CMON, YOU RUSHED ME AND NOW YOUR SLOW TO THE DOOR YOURSELF'
Connor feels his head splitting like a headache 'Sorry I can't hear people with low to no MC'.
'I told you to stop that' Connor said while gripping his head
Connor and Jess get into the CaRune used for transportation
Suddenly they Apparate in front of a big campus 'That's one big building' Connor said while blocking the sun from hitting his eyes. 'Shut up, let's go or we'll be late for the ceremony. Dads giving the beginning speech.' Shocked Connor Exclaims 'Wait! What!?'
Lawrence Rogers standing on the podium gathers his breath
'Gathered here are you who are here to learn as new students and those of you who, as you all know 30 years ago, we managed to fight off the Dark Watchers by the skin of our teeth.'
'Though that may have been 30 years ago, Here at The Prestigious School of Mystical Technologies we are preparing for the inevitable return of our adversaries, our staff are some most capable MC users the world over and they are dedicate--'
Lawrence notices Connor and his sister trying to sneak into their seats and as they are about to reach them suddenly on the speaker Lawrence says
'Mr. and Ms. ROGERS I'm pleased you decided to grace us with your presence.'
Halted in their tracks the sibling duo, slowly sit down in their seats.
Lawrence clears his throat before continuing 'A reminder to everyone that tardiness is Unacceptable. Even if you are a relative of the faculty'
The crowd lets out a chuckle.
Connor awkwardly fidgets in his seat while his sister seems none the wiser looking into a portable mirror 'Aren't you embarrassed even a little?'
'Not really, it's not like anyone will remember I was here over Mr. "Lack of Mc" over here'
Connor shrugs off the remark and starts searching the crowd for his friend Amber.
Suddenly he feels a sharp prick in his head 'Looking for me?'
'Amber, I told you to not use your MC to go in my head, you know I can't block it!' 'I knoooow but it's just so fun to mess with one of my friends'.
Connor turns in his chair slowly to see his friend Amber A girl with flowing red hair and deep brown eyes 'We've got to be quiet; you know my dad could probably hear us.'
With a smug look she replies 'It'll be fiiiine, I'm so glad we get to go to the same school even though you didn't want to go here at first. What changed your mind?'
With a mocking kissy face 'Because you were going here, Mwaa* Mwaa*'
With her face flushed she sheepishly replies 'O-oh… Cool.'
'I-I was just messing with you stupid!' Connor said awkwardly
Another sharp prick struck Connor in the head 'Connor, you finished with your little lovers spat? Pay attention!!' Looking at the podium Connor notices Lawrence staring at him with a look children feared and gives him an awkward wave.
Shrugging off the wave Lawrence continues 'So we welcome each and everyone of you new students to our beloved school. Make friends, laugh, enjoy yourselves… But always remember that though we may laugh in the light there is always someone watching in the dark.'
After the opening ceremony Connor, Jess, and Amber stroll through the halls of their new school. On their way to class Connor notices one person in particular 'Should have guessed that he'd be here if you got in Amber'
'I don't know why you two can't get along Connor you've known him just as long as me. Adrian, Come here!' Startled with the sudden call Adrian turns his head to see his sister
'Hey Amber! Did you hear that dad is going to be given an award for his work?!' 'Yeah, I did. What if he starts working here? That would be so embarrassing!'
'Yeah, having a parent as a member of faculty is Toootaly not embarrassing at all' Connor said with sarcasm emanating from every pore of his body.
'Hey, Adrian. So, you're going here as well?' asked Connor 'Yes I decided to join because my dad suggested I go to the same school as my sister' replied Adrian 'I got to get back to my friends so I'll catch up with you later Amber' Adrian Hurriedly ran off to where his friends were 'Oh ok Bye, sheesh he could have at least said goodbye to you guys.'
'I've tried to be friendly with him, but I think that ship has sailed long ago. Anyways let's go Jess… Jess?' Connor turns to see his sister in a trance 'Helloooo, earth to Jess' Connor says while waving his hand Infront her face.
Jess jumps from the sudden interruption 'What!?'
Connor sighs 'We'll catch up with you later Amber, I'm going to take Miss dream world over here to her class before she's lost forever' Giggling Amber replies 'Ok, I'll see you in class later.'
Basically, pushing his sister through the hall Connor asks, 'How long are you going to daydream about Adrian before you actually do anything?' With a grumpy look she replies, 'You aren't one to talk, you've had a crush on your best friend for the past 3 yea-' Quickly Connor grabs her cheek 'I told you to not say it out loud, what if she heard you?!'
'Oh, SOOO sorry who was the one who brought this up hmmm?' Jess said with a smug look. 'Your class is right here just go in already I shouldn't have to drag you here.'
After dropping Jess off at her class Connor plugs his earphones while slowly returning to his class. While on his way back he is listening to his favorite songs and mouthing the words to himself he suddenly feels a dark presence behind, swiftly turning around he finds no one is there. 'That's weird, why'd my MC act up then?'
'Connor shouldn't you be in class?' Turning back around Connor sees his father Lawrence 'Yeah, I was heading back now pops'
'In school you'll address me not as your father but as the founder and prin-' Connor continues the sentence 'Principal of the most prestigious school in the country, yes sir'
With a look of pride Lawrence turns and continues down the hallway 'Wise ass'
'Po- Mr. Lawrence!' Turning his head back to his son 'Did you need something' Connor replies 'Did you feel a… like dark presence just before you talked with me?' 'If there was a dark presence here, I would have felt it' Lawrence assures his son.
'It must have been my imagination then, there's no way I could have sensed something if you couldn't sense anything' Connor said with relief, he turns around and walks back to class 'That is something to be wary of' {Lawrence thought to himself}
Meanwhile Amber sits in her seat waiting for the lesson to start 'This is the first lesson and Connor is gonna be late again' 'You're still worrying about your "Husband" like an overprotective wife Amber, just relax he'll be here soon' said Eliza
'Stop with that!! It's embarrassing' amber said while hiding behind her textbook 'L-Let's move on from that. I'm glad we're in the same class Z it would have been quite lonely by myself!'
Eliza replied, 'Wouldn't you have your "Husband" to look after you?'
Standing up quickly 'I TOLD YOU TO STOP THAT' exclaimed Amber loudly, Realizing she said it very loudly Infront of the whole class she sheepishly sits back down.
'Now look what you did Z' Amber said under her voice.
Gasping from Laughing Eliza "Z" replied 'pfft... I mean you shouted it out not me… but ok let's continue our conversation in MC speak.'
Z reaches out and touches Amber's hand, the both feel a sharp prick in their heads.
'You happy now?' Z asked. 'Yeah, after I embarrassed myself half to death' said Amber slumping down in her chair 'You've had a crush on him for what? A year now? Why don't you just pull the moves on him? I've seen you two staring at each other for a long time already, just ask him out'
'But It's just so embarrassing…' Amber said
'What's so embarrassing?' Connor asks. 'Agh, when'd you get here?!' Amber shouted
'Two seconds after you shouted "I TOLD YOU TO STOP THAT" Z even made eye contact with me I thought she told you I was here'
Amber turns her head towards her soon to be deceased friend, all the while Z looks at her with a smile as long as a mile.
As amber was about to rain down hellfire on her friend a Sharp prick pierces everyone's head
'The bell rang, and I still see people not in their seats… Get to It!'
A tall rugged man with eyes that could kill a bear wearing a fedora walks to the front of the blackboard and introduces himself 'Class, I am your homeroom teacher Christopher Luis. Most people call me Chris, but you will have to earn that name… For now, you may refer to me as Professor Luis.'
All the students in the room sat down as quickly as they could, out of fear of being scolded by the terrifying teacher, Connor was just about to sit down when 'I see your MC levels are as weak as ever Connor' Turning around, his eyes meet the teachers Connor can't help but feel his teachers gaze drawing him in like a blackhole pulling in its victim to their demise.
'Get to your seat'
Getting to his seat Connor breathes a sigh of relief as he sits down. Feeling someone touch his shoulder behind him, Connor about to turn around feels a Sharp prick in his head once again.
'Hey dude, you know the teach? He doesn't seem to like you too much' asked the mysterious person behind him. Connor stunned by the sudden interaction tries to use his MC but struggles to reply to his questions 'Old…Tutor…Worked…For…Dad.' Connor exhales from strain. 'Dude you good? Never heard someone stutter in a MC call before let alone struggle with one. The Names James Hill, Call me Jimmy Nice to mee-'
Suddenly The MC call cut off 'A reminder that we have MC nullifiers in every class room to prevent chit chat while class is in session' said Professor Luis in a loud tone.
'Today we will be testing everyone's MC levels in a simple practical test Anyone could do, Well maybe not everyone' Professor Luis said while looking at Connor
'Get changed into your gym uniforms and meet me at Practical Room Zeta'
Everyone in the class gets up and starts heading to the changing rooms. Connor turns around to see a blond haired kid with blue eyes that would make the ocean jealous, 'I'm Connor, Sorry about earlier. I may have got you in trouble' Jimmy snickered 'Ah Don't worry about it, I think your interesting, so I wanted to introduce myself. If you don't mind me asking what's up with the whole struggling to use your MC thing? I've never heard of that before'
Connor sighs 'It's been like this since I was born, I have very weak MC levels My dad has done whatever he could to try and help me but nothing worked. He even hired Professor Luis, that guy put me through hellish training to try and get my levels higher. Eventually he gave up, he doesn't think I'm worthy of the Rogers family name...'
Jimmy's eyes widen 'Wait a second… you're the son of The Lawrence Rogers?'
'Shhhh' Connor says putting his finger against his mouth
'I would prefer it if this stays quiet. If people hear that the "LMC" is the son of Lawrence Rogers, they might start thinking my sister is as weak as me. I don't want that, she worked just as hard as anyone else to get here!'
Jimmy taken aback by Connors seriousness 'You care a lot about your sister don't you? Don't worry my lips are sealed Mon Amie.' With a smile Connor nods at Jimmy. 'By the way we are probably going to be chewed out for being late seeing as we're the only ones still in class' Jimmy gestures to the surrounding empty classroom.
Both Jimmy and Connor look at each other then start sprinting out of the classroom then into the changing rooms and get changed into their gym uniforms with lightning speed.
Connor and jimmy rush over to the practical room, seeing the class gathered there without the teacher they had their hopes high. Breathing heavily Connor says 'We made it! We got here before the Professor!' 'Hell yeah we did' Jimmy said raising his hand to Connor for a high five
'Glad you two finally decided to grace us with your presence'
Freezing mid high five both Jimmy and Connor turns their heads to see Professor Luis standing directly behind them.
'Join the rest of the class…Now!' Professor Luis said coldly
Connor and Jimmy start Moving slowly and cautiously toward the rest of the class finally meeting up with Amber and Z.
