Leon sat up straighter, ready for what was to come.
"We are just waiting for Sier-ah! There she is!" Manny began but then looked up to someone who was now entering the room.
Leon and his classmates turned, only to be stunned as a woman with skin as dark as the night strutted over with a few papers in her hand. Her bright blue eyes shimmered like stars and her lovely black hair was styled in small dreadlocks that ran down to the middle of her back.
She smiled at them as she passed by, and Leon's heart thumped out of sync for a second.
'Holy shit!' Was all he could think, as he never expected to see someone so beautiful. That wasn't to say that no one else at the school was pretty, far from it as many of the students that were enrolled here had naturally good looks on top of good GPAs.
However she stood far above everyone and Leon kept his eyes on her all the way until she sat down.
"Look, you made the kids speechless again! You did this earlier too!" Manny threw his hands up like it was a big deal.
"So? What woman doesn't want a bit of attention? And from her precious underclassmen no less?" She shot him a look and he grumbled and stopped arguing with her.
From there, Manny no longer took the leading role in the conversation and the midnight beauty stepped up as the leader.
"Welcome first years, its nice to meet you. My name is Sierra and I'm one of the Leaders here at the Awakened Center. My job as a Leader is basically to lead you underclassmen in the right directions to figuring out your Dunamis powers better and make your time as students easier for you.
"If possible, could the four of you show me what you have first?"
She waited patiently as Leon and the others looked at each other. Once again, Kira started first, showing off her red aura, with the other three of them quickly following as they reacted to her.
Leon had never really tried just activating it without doing something sexual beforehand but learning that kind of control was exactly why he was here. He was a bit surprised that the silver haired woman had already gotten that much control over herself and wondered how she managed to do so in just a few hours.
When both of Leon's Dunamis popped up, the four upperclassmen's eyes went wide.
"Well I'll be." Gerardo rubbed the stubble on his chin.
"Haha! There really is a kid with two Dunamis! I thought they were just making that shit up!" Manny slapped his knee excited.
Kate simply stared at him, trying to bore her eyes into his soul to figure out how it was possible and Sierra was the first to calm down.
"Thank you four for sharing that with me. It means a lot because in the world of the Awakened, there are few you can trust. On the surface, it may seem like they are just power to make sex more enjoyable, but as you learn to control them, they become much more.
"Sooner or later, you will be able to use those powers of yours to affect people outside of a sexual setting, turning yours and other people's lust it into a weapon that can harm those around you. That is why we make sure every new Awakened steps through these doors."
Sierra's bomb drop made Leon heartbeat increase. They could use these powers as weapons? Sure they were deadly in bed, but in actual fights? That didn't seem right to him honestly.
"Whatever happens in this room, stays in this room, and as such, I feel its only right that you get to know our Dunamis as well." She said and looked to the others.
In a much smoother manner, the four of them quickly ignited their inner flames of lust, showing off their colorful auras. Gerardo had green, Manny was yellow, Kate blue, and Sierra had purple. All four of them had a completely different feel to their auras compared to the first years, despite being the same colors.
There was a sense of control and calm over the raging fires within them, one that could allow them to unleash it at its full potential when necessary, while also letting it sway gently when not in use. It was much more terrifying in Leon's opinion, than compared to his wild aura that just came out whenever it felt like it.
To get to such a level of control over their own lust, what would he have to endure?
"As you will soon find out, if you haven't already, Awakened people are very prideful. Whether it is just an ego trip, or something else at play that messes with our minds, we have yet to figure that out.
"But what we have figured out though, is what kind of powers you guys potentially have." She said as she held up the papers in her hand, "The 'physical exam' you all went through was put through some special machinery that past Awakened students have made, to give us about a 60-70% accurate results.
"Of course, this is just data. What mostly counts is your own personal experiences with your Dunamis. As you use it more, you will naturally gain more control and understanding over it, and we will help you with that. You will slowly begin to understand the nature of your Dunamis over time and it could be completely different from the data we have here, it just happens.
"Anyways, I'll let you guys look at your data first, then we can talk about it." Sierra said and passed their results across the table to them.
Leon picked his up and what was on the paper were a couple of pie charts. The pie charts were divided by percentage, and the percent represented how likely he was to have that kind of power, or at least according to Sierra, something similar, and the potential potency of said power.
For his Blue Dunamis, the system-like abilities, he had:
[ Critical Strike Enhancement - 84%
Critical Hit Increase - 11%
Sudden Thrust - 4%
Other - 1% ]
As for his Yellow Dunamis, the physical boost abilities, he had:
[ Stamina Boost - 63%
Speed Boost - 21%
Unknown* - 15%
Other - 1% ]
While he had no idea how to interpret the System-like abilities of his Blue Dunamis, it seemed like he most likely had this Critical Strike Enhancement. As for Yellow... it was a bit odd. He had a 63% chance of a Stamina Boost, which made it look like that was his best bet, but what was Unknown supposed to be? And it took up 15% of the test for him.
He wasn't alone though, as the other students all had weird faces as they saw their 'status screen,' trying to understand what it all meant. Especially for the two Red Dunamis users.
"What bullshit is this?!" The Lucas guy yelled and slapped the paper in his hand, "Painful Penetration? You expect me to believe this?"
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you," Sierra looked at him like it was none of her concern, "As I just told you, this machine is only 60-70% accurate, and to get the full 100% will require extensive hands on research by yourselves.
"Only you can figure out the secrets to your inner lust, that is not the job of anyone else. We are only trying to help as much as we can."
"Help? Ha!" Lucas couldn't accept that answer, "How are you gonna help a 'dangerous' Red Aura like me? Everyone hates me already and I'm sure you're just gonna put a collar on me and expect me to listen to your demands. I'm out of this shithole."
He crumpled up his paper and threw it towards the upperclassmen. It didn't hit any of them, but the sheer audacity of his disrespect made them all glare at him. The pace of his departure quickened with the feeling the eyes of predators watching his back.
They could all hear his curses until he went down the stairs but Leon could care less. If he was gonna be a little bitch about this, then so be it. Not his problem.
"*sigh* That's two now. What is it with the freshies this year? Sure you may not get a 'good' Dunamis but that just means you need to work harder." Manny rested his cheek on his fist and sighed.
"Its their choice," Sierra closed her eyes for a moment before picking up the crumpled paper, "If he chooses not to get a mentor, no one can stop him. He will learn the hard way though what it means to be 'Haremless' for Awakened."
Leon came out of his stupor and quickly asked what she meant by that.
"Its what it sounds like. There are different Harems, or factions, within this school with Awakened students as their leaders. Normal students will make up the bulk of the regular members while Awakened are responsible for protecting their own from other Awakened.
"If he goes off on his own, he'll find out the hard way whether someone is a part of another person's Harem or not, and then he could get into some serious trouble for messing with the wrong people."
Sierra's face grew dark as she spoke, letting the students before her know that these Harems were more like gangs than for-fun groups of friends and there were always dangerous students where you'd never expect.
