"What the___ is this some kind of a joke?"
That single sentence summarised what everyone was thinking, the Great Zimbabwe Military Institute was a prestigious military academy that also saved as one of the divisions of the army of the Great Zimbabwean kingdom. Pre Final war it was said that this kingdom had been a tiny country with barely any reputable war potential to speak of but after the war because it was one of the few countries to be ground zero for nuclear detonation, it started producing top-tier humans with the gifts. In no time it had made a military campaign that saw it swallowing up its neighbouring countries until it covered roughly what was the entirety of southern Africa. Because it was not only the humans that evolved animals gained certain abilities too as a result there was land lost and many fled and took refuge in this new kingdom, in just a century after the war the Great Zimbabwe kingdom had now become a super power, one of nine. In this super power there where ten military bases that saved as military schools too and the one dubbed with the kingdom's name was the most prestigious of them all as it was situated right in the Kingdom's capital that encompassed about a quarter of what had been the country of Zimbabwe. While most people gained special abilities it was roughly one of every five hundred of the people that got accepted into military schools as fit for combat having managed to successfully awaken a powerful SYSTEM.
The one who had just complained was one of the few who managed to do that but he had been placed in the last class which had dampened his spirit and wounded his pride as he had grown up being praised for his superior system not only that, he also happened to be the second heir to the Khumalo family a powerful clan that was one of the esteemed seven noble clans of the kingdom. As if that had not been an insult enough for someone who was just treated as something akin to royalty for all his life, the one who was their homeroom mentor as well as the commander of their squadron/class was a young man who was at most three to four years older than him. He had heard from the other classes that those selected to be homeroom teachers where of lieutenant ranks which meant they were qualified experts but no matter how you looked at it there was no way the young man in front of them was a lieutenant, his body was slender and gave of a kind off sleepy appearance. Sindiso who already felt like the world was intentionally trying to mess with him could not take this anymore.
"You." The young man standing in front of him turned to him after his outburst just as everyone had.
"H-huh?" he stammered a little because he had never been addressed as such all his life not even by some of his closest friends, everyone save maybe his esteemed fathed and mother addressed him with honourifics so having a stranger brazenly disregard his status like that had caught him off guard.
"Yes you, when you entered this facility did you happen to come across anywhere written circus or amusement park?" The young man standing in front of them turned and lazily pointed his pen at Sindiso and asked.
"Huh? No." Sindiso was failing to understand what that question meant well it wasn't just him probably everyone was baffled too. Considering the situation the question really sounded odd to them.
"Then why are you assuming anyone would try to entertain you with jokes?" Everyone froze, Sindiso was not just anyone after all, everyone in this class knew him despite being their first time meeting. He was a celebrity who not only came from a powerful family but also happened to be a Singularity, he had appeared in the television more than a couple of times. He had finished with top grades at his highschool and mostly was famously known for ranking third in the LCC(Live Combat Competions) the previous year. Seeing anyone casually disregard his status was just unthinkable but the young man at the front did not even seem to care at all and continued as if not seeing the change in the atmosphere
"Anyway it does not matter just don't make silly comments from henceforth____ My name is Bricksoe and you can choose to address me however you see fit seeing as I have never cared for formality and stuff I will be your babysitter for the coming year and I will be grateful if you can all cooperate with me becau______"
BAAMMMM
Sindiso slammed his fists on the table greatly interrupting everything and startling everyone especially the petite girl sitting next to her. The commotion caused their homeroom teacher to pause from his disinterested introduction and raise a brow at him. Everyone was alarmed after all military schools where known for strict moral conduct so as much as they did not think much of the lanky person in front of them they all chose to behave because they did not want to risk a bad reputation on their first day at school but at the same time they were all filled with anticipation to see how the teacher would react to facing the wrath of someone as respected and connected as Sindiso. Only one young lady did not even react, a beautiful lady with silver hair and cold blue eyes who just kept staring at the teacher. Bricksoe just turned to him lazily. Seeing him unfazed Sindiso boiled red with rage.
"How dare you? Do you have any idea who I am?" Military schools showed no favouritism because of someone's background that is how they where supposed to be but the thing is the great families had so much influence in the kingdom that they could even influence the military schools so everyone tensed with anticipation when they heard that question but____
"Quite energetic and feisty aint you little child? Hmmm now what to do?____" the homeroom teacher said whilst tiredly scratching his beardless chin as if in deep thought.
"____I see I guess I have no choice but to do something about that excessive energy of yours sooner rather than later very well."
BAAMMMM
Another bang followed as soon as he finished saying that and everyone stood up from their chairs in shock, their teacher who was supposed to be at the front was now next to an unconscious Sindiso and a splintered desk, a few people saw what had happened and even those who did they failed to understand how it had happened but from the results it was clear he had slammed Sindiso's head on the desk so hard he broke it and rendered him unconscious.
"I c-cant b-breathe." One othe girls nearby suddenly held her neck gasping for air but no one attended to her because evetyone was in a similar situation, all of a sudden the surrounding air became dense and heavy, breathing became difficult and a sense of fear assaulted their very being. At the epicenter of that oppressing atmosphere was the homeroom teacher whose presense was now so fearsome it was difficult to look at him except for the silver haired lady who despite an increase in heartrate showed no other signs of being affected. After a few seconds the pressure subsided as Bricksoe heaved a disappointed sigh.
At that very moment they all revised their rude assessment of him instead it was replaced with that of fear. Intent, they had heard of that phenomena before but experiencing it first hand was another story and only people with a certain amount of power could manifest their intent to affect the surroundings.
"I generally am a rule breaker and I did say I care little about formality but respect is very important little brats. Is there anyone feeling itchy with an overabundance of energy?" even though he had gone back to his lazy demeanour no one responded.
"Good, and when he wakes up tell him control of his temper would have gotten him further than allowing it to control him_____" What he said would have been effective if he had shown more vibrancy but he spoke it as lazy as when he had first appeared which naturally caused them to fear him even more, anyone who can risk angering a great family with such nonchalance was someone to be feared he walked towards the front slowly and dragging his feet before turning back like he had just remembered something.
"_____O, also tell him he will be paying for that desk after all we cant be having new students vandalizing school property now can we? Also make sure to tell him to wait for people to finish whatever they wanna say before interrupting___ hmmm now what was I saying? O yes, I wish for you to cooperate with me because as much as I loathe to use it I am very much a believer of using violence to bend people to my will."
"... "
Naturally there was no response from them they where still too shaken up by the display of violence just now.
