Pride of the Generation School is located on the eastern side of the world on a small, isolated island that is difficult to reach. On that island, there is a community that lives an ordinary life: some trusted heroes with their families, some influential people in the world, whether materially or morally, some geniuses, and other important figures. Simply put, the whole world calls that island the Place of the Holy Ones, and therefore it is considered the most important and safest place in the world, even more than the government. On that island is the Pride of the Generation School, and inside the school, Arthur was standing in the middle of a spacious white room, full of strange machines and beds. On a certain bed, Simone was sleeping without any sign that she would wake up in the near future.
Despite all the efforts of doctors and advanced machines, all scientists have agreed that her physical condition has improved greatly, but the only problem that remains is her mental state. Therefore, the time of her awakening is unknown. However, Arthur decided that every day he would visit his sister and check on her. He really does not. He knows if talking to her in this state will help her recover, and he doesn't know if she can hear him at all, but he will tell her every day what is happening to him.
"We arrived yesterday, and although I don't like to thank anyone, it was that man...Thomas. I heard him speaking directly to the school principal to obtain permission to bring you onto the island under his care, and he did not stress me out." With any questions, he let me rest yesterday, so yes... I know you were going to ask me to thank him on your behalf, but I won't. Only when you wake up will I think about thanking him for that, sister. If you want to scold your impudent brother, please wake up."
Arthur stayed in the room for a while longer before leaving and heading to Thomas's office. On the way, he ran into Kevin, who had been recovering in another room yesterday. Kevin waved to him and said it excitedly.
"This place is amazing, right? I mean, there are about ten treatment rooms! This is like we are in a real hospital, but it is actually a school."
Kevin stopped for a moment and walked with Arthur to the office, and before they entered, he said in a serious voice while looking at the door.
"How is she?"
Arthur did not respond and merely entered the office, then Kevin followed him. When they both entered, they found that there was no one in the room. Arthur wondered while Kevin looked behind him because he thought he heard a strange sound, and then in the next moment, Thomas, who was hanging over the teenagers, fell. Kevin easily dodged this surprise attack while Arthur was crushed under Thomas' stomach.
"Hmm, not bad, young Kevin; you too, Arthur; you almost avoided me, but you're still too slow."
"Yes, there is no way I can thank this monkey."
Arthur thought
Thomas got up and let Arthur get up as well before he went to sit in his chair, then looked at the two young men with a small smile on his face and warm facial features.
"Although the principal will welcome you tomorrow, I want to welcome you first here with us at the school. I know that what you have gone through is difficult, but remember that every person in this school has gone through his own tragedy, so you can say that you are not the only ones, um, no... That's a bad expression, oh I'll try again *cough* Consider yourselves surrounded by all the broken and helpless people in the world, no this is worse.....we all here have terrible psychological trauma so ....ugh....just act normal okay?"
Kevin blinked several times at how bad Mr. Thomas's speech was, but he did not comment on it and just shook his head slightly so as not to appear rude. While Arthur's facial expressions were only frozen, Thomas looked at them before continuing in a deep voice.
"Let's get to the real topic. You'll start attending classes tomorrow, so we should test your power type first. I'm sure you two already know some of the basics, but I'm going to explain it better and in more detail, so listen carefully."
Thomas paused for a moment and noticed Kevin's excited expression and Arthur's cold expression before continuing.
"There are ten types of power. I will not talk about the source of power and the great war because you will study about it in class, but I will talk directly about each type and the four classifications, but first I will talk about the concept of power.... power is just data stored on the surface of distinct genes, and every power is just data stored on the surface of distinct genes, and every power has a negative side. Power and the negative side can be inherited, but of course it is rare to find a father's power that is 100% similar to a son's power, and the same applies to the negative side. Now I will talk about the first types of power: the magician, the fighter, and the gatherer. As for the magician type, he can use simple elements of nature. Such as water, fire, and others, and their negative effects are simple, such as hair loss every time they use their power. The fighter type is characterized by an increase in the power of his body, such as an increase in muscle size, etc., and its negative effects are also simple. As for the collector type, it is strange and it is either the strongest type that exists or the weakest type that exists. It can collect other types of power. To approximate the meaning, imagine the power genes as if they were a large group of puzzle pieces. Each piece has a distinctive shape and distinct edges, so you cannot, for example, merge a magician's piece with a fighter's piece, and this is what results. Finally, the painting of a magician or a fighter is an example, but imagine that the whole is the table without any pieces, so that you can place any piece you want, and if it does not fit with another piece, just leave a space between the pieces."
Thomas stopped when he saw the shock on Kevin's face and even Arthur's face before he raised his hand and pointed to his desk with an evil smile on his face.
"Exactly! On this table, you can collect as much of the piece as you want, and if you do not put it together, just leave it on the table. But if you put it together, this will produce a hybrid type of force, as if you are combining the forces with each other. Of course, this seems a little crazy, and it is full of danger because it is possible that you will spend your whole life combining pieces with their negative aspects, but without making any progress in merging one of the pieces, and even if you succeed in merging two pieces, who knows if you will merge four or eight, and in the end you will only get a hybrid force full of errors that... may destroy you, and this is without mentioning the negative effects that it also collects, which will create a negative side that may kill you when you breathe the air. But of course there is a way to avoid all of this, but it is not good."
Thomas paused for a moment, looking at his desk as if he remembered something, before he continued speaking.
"The type of magician and fighter has two advanced types: the manipulator and the warrior. As for the type of manipulator, it is the advanced type of magician, and he can make a law or a manipulative contract where he sets a law for himself that he adheres to, and in return, he gets a special ability, such as saying that I will never use my sight again, and in return, I get the ability to turn anything I touch into gold. This type is bizarre and very rare. People with this type can literally manipulate the laws of the world and reality, but under certain conditions. If you want a better explanation, ask a specialized professor for that, because I don't know much about this type. Also, for the type of warrior, he can control his body by 100%, meaning that he can create wings for himself, or horns, or make some of his body parts larger, or extract poison from his nails. He can also strengthen his body by 200%, and he can also survive in the asylum only by tightening his body. "His muscles grow every second, and this is exactly what happens during combat. We have five types left, two of which are distinct types and three are hybrid types."
Thomas stopped for a while and looked at the two handsome young men with looks of interest and enthusiasm on their faces. Then he smiled evilly and said,
"But unfortunately, it's exam time, so you two have to go."
" What ! "
Kevin said, feeling frustrated and desperate to learn more about the power system in this world. Even Arthur seemed upset, but Thomas did not back down from his decision and left the office while both Kevin and Arthur followed him to the test site.
