*Alarm sounds*
"Hmm... ugh."
I open my eyes and reach for my phone.
'Five in the morning.' *sigh* 'Time to get ready for class.'
My name is Cole, age 24, and am an instructor at the World Unite Academy (or WUA for short). The WUA was founded by a powerful hero who defended city A from one of the strongest monsters ever to be recorded. The Hero's name is Victor Sterling, the principal of WUA and my employer.
All instructors in WUA are former or current heroes who are paid extremely high salaries to teach in the most influential and powerful academy ever built.
I am the only non-hero who was hired. For all the people out there, they may think of me as someone who was hired due to me having a vast amount of knowledge or theories that may aid future generations, but no.
I am one of the fighting instructors of the academy due to my experience in fighting other heroes. I am a former "assassin" per say. I was hired by powerful people to get rid of other powerful people.
No mean to brag but my success rate was that of 100%. Nobody knows my identity except for the strongest hero himself Victor Sterling. How he knew? Well, I got tired of my job and applied for WUA. Barged into his office one day and asked to be a fighting instructor here. He tried to capture me due to trespassing, but I just beat the living hell until he calmed down. No biggie.
Anyways, after a shower and breakfast I walked out of my house and walked towards the class. WUA has dorms for students and residential areas for some rich kids and all the teachers. A 15-minute walk to the class and it was 6 AM.
I put my stuff down on the desk and prepared my materials. According to the school's rubric, I have to start out with teaching basic hand and feet movements, so that is where I will start.
After I finished with preparations I went out of the class and to the office provided to me. There I have a few weapons and martial art manuals I wrote myself. All I learned fighting heroes. There I read through some papers for a refresher on who is going to be in my class.
'We got a couple of influential people's children in my class. Few students from S-Class heroes. Most from average backgrounds. Lastly, the child of the woman who divorced the strongest hero. Rumors that the mother is as powerful as Victor himself. High hopes for the child. Heard the mother divorced due to Victor always leaving to fight monsters and leaving the woman months at least before he started the academy.
I left my office and walked back to the class. The bell rung at exactly 7 AM and I opened the at the exact moment. The students stared at me while I was walking to the front of the class.
"Welcome to World Unite Academy. I am your instructor, Cole, and we will start with what will be covered in this class."
"First will be the fundamentals. You will learn to fight hand-to-hand without using your powers. This will aid in increasing your control over your body."
"Second, weapon combat. You will start using weapons and other gears you have. You will find what is suited for you in both weapon and armor."
"Last and most important, power combat. Here you will start to implement your powers into your martial art."
"These lessons are not in order and will sometimes be overlapped depending on how the class proceeds, but we will start with hand-to-hand combat. During the whole period here, you will be ranked based on your prowess. The rank will change live, and you will be able to fight others to raise your position on the leaderboard. The current rank is based on your power level. Here..."
RANK LIST
-------------------
1 - Jessica Raven - 2200
2- Michael White - 1900
3 - Henry Grayson - 1850
4 - Jack Rover - 1840
5 - Jeremy Morales - 1835
6 - ...
"This will be all for today, before I go, does anybody want to try to fight for a higher position? Do note that for the initiator, if they fail to beat the other person, their rank will drop below that person if they are higher in rank. Also, for every time you fail, 100 points are deducted, but for the one who was challenged, nothing is deducted if they failed."
As I looked around, nobody rose their hand until I looked at Henry Grayson who had a smirk on his face. He stood up pointed at me and said:
"I challenge you instructor!"
"Are you sure? losing against an instructor or another professor will make you lose 200 points. Do you wish to proceed?"
"You do not deserve to be an instructor of mine! I have never even heard of you before!"
He roared at me while having the largest grin. Guess it's not a bad idea to show them a glimpse of my lessons.
"OK. Let's go now to the arena."
"Fine let's go!!"
