"Ok look, you plan to tryout for the team right? If you score higher than me then I'll answer whatever questions you have. Otherwise just fade into the background like everyone else!" As he finished talking he walked past me.
"Alright. You're on pretty boy!" I said turning to watch him walk away.
"What's his problem?" A voice behind me said scaring me.
I jumped a mile out of my shoes, turning around to see nobody standing there. I was so confused until I heard a large breath and laughter at my feet. There was a girl rolling on the floor laughing at me.
"It's not that funny sis." Another girl to my left said.
"OH... my... gosh. It really was though." the first girl replied.
"Deja de ser raro delante de gente que no conocemos!"
The second girl told her off but I have no idea what she said. The first girl then apologized at put her arm over her sister turning towards me. as they turned I got a better look at both of them and they look identical with some minor differences. The second girl has long black hair down to her upper back. The first girl has shorter blonde hair.
"Hi, this is my sister Lia" The first girl said.
"Julia" She replied. (Hoo-Lee-Uh)
"Anyway, this is my sister Camila" (Cuh-Mee-La)
"You can call me Mila. What's your name stranger?" Mila asked.
"I'm Ezra. I'm assuming you two are here to tryout as well."
Mila answers. "You'd be right. Seeing as how we're twins we kind of stand out, ya know?"
After talking with them for about ten minutes we were interrupted by one of the teachers talking to the whole gymnasium.
"Thank you all for coming today. My name is Mr. Fridjit and I am the coach of the team. We have a few spots to fill on the team and we already have three starters and we are looking for the last two people to fill that spot. Now, even if you are not chosen, there is a backup position for each spot and we will not be turning anyone away so the more the merrier. With that I would like to introduce our three upperclassmen who fill those spots."
Mr. Fridjit doesn't look like your average teacher or coach. He looks to be in his early twenties. Forest green hair with a slight side part with the tips of his hair reaching his eyes. He has on a a loose fit t-shirt, black cargo pants, and white and green converse. An eyebrow ring above his left eye, A lip ring on his right side, a bunch of piercings in both his ears and small circular glasses.
"First is the team captain, 2nd year Asahi Yamazaki!"
She is standing at what seems to be at least six foot two maybe more. Her hair is a dark violet down passed her shoulders. Dark crimson eyes. She has a certain energy that oozes confidence.
"Next is the co-vice captain 3rd year Hikaru Imai!
Hikaru looks a little taller than I am. Her hair is pink and flows down past her butt. Hikaru has a broad smile on her face and is waving at as many people she can.
"Last and certainly not least the other co-vice captain 3rd year Yu Morishita!"
He has a military style buzz cut. Pure white with red eyes and a horn on his head. First time I've seen that. He is standing just shorter than the teacher giving the introductions. I think the teacher is six foot if I had to guess.
"Now that you all know your upperclassmen, let's get started. First up is Sorakuma Inazuma." Up walks the kid I made a bet with before. "Please just call me Sora."
"Okay then Mr. Inazuma, what is your ability?"
Sora puts a smile on his face before answering. "My ability is called Raijin Drums. This tattoo you see on my neck is my ability, I can make it appear behind me and when I strike these drums in a certain way I can manifest a new form of power and weapon."
In the middle of his description the sounds of thunder and lightning can be heard outside. As he manifests his drums, lightning starts shooting all over his body from his neck and head to his hands and feet. Standing behind his head are nine floating drums connected by metal.
"How many forms of power do you have in your possession?"
"Currently I have three, if I hit a drum that I don't know its sequence no sound is made and nothing happens. My first drum was activated when I was five. My second was when I was 10. My third was activated a few months ago."
"What part of your ability will you be showing us today?"
"I will show you my first two drums"
As if on cue he smacks the second drum from the left then his fourth and finally his eighth. He then sticks out his thumb and pinky on his left hand and an electric current runs between them.
"Yuju go long!" He commands his wolf and without a second thought he bolts to the other side of the gym. "Jump" He then jumps into the air facing Sora with his mouth open. He then shoots an electric projectile at his wolf using his hand like a slingshot and said wolf catches it in his mouth.
Hikaru can't hold back her excitement. "That's so cool! How did you do that?"
"Impressive Mr. Inazuma. Am I right to assume that your wolf is your first drums power?"
The other two captains haven't said a word yet about anything going on.
"You would be correct sir. He can change his size at will. the stronger then power I use the bigger and stronger he can get if he chooses too. That's all I have to show you. Thank you"
With that Sora walks away from the coach and the captains and leaves the gym. Before leaving he stares at me and then finally leaves. After that a bunch of people that I didn't know went and showed off their abilities. Then Mila and Julia went one after the other and finally it was my turn.
"Ezra Tenrai sir, nice to meet you."
"What is your ability young man?"
"My ability is-" I responded but was interrupted by the bell signaling the end of our time allotted for the day. "Unfortunately Mr. Tenrai our time has ended today. If you would like to come back tomorrow we will have our first practice with the new members and you can show us what you can do, If we like what we see then you can stay on the team. How does that sound?"
I'm just dumbfounded. I have to come back tomorrow and try again and I didn't even get to go anyway, but I'll take whatever I can take I guess. "Sure, sounds like a plan to me."
After the disappointing news I finished the rest of the first day just walking the halls to understand the building. We didn't have an actual full day of school today as it was just for learning our schedules and for clubs to get new members.
I found out where my homeroom was then I decided to go home. On my way home the sky decided it was going to downpour. Guess who got soaked head to toe in five minutes, me. Yes, I know what you are thinking. "Why don't you just teleport home." Well... My mom said if she found out that I teleport home again then I'd be in trouble. There you have it. Don't get mad at me, be mad at my mom for telling me no okay?
On my miserable walk home I heard a commotion down an alley near my house and as the kid I am I naturally had to know what was going on. I walked down the alley to find that most of it had a cover so it was mostly dry. That's where I found three kids and a cat. They were the same kids that were in front of me in the line today. One of the kids had a water ability and was spraying the cat every time it tried to get up and trust me when I say it was struggling.
The other two boys were physically augmented abilities. One had green hair and some scales with a tall slender body. The other was short and wide with a shell on his back. He had a buzzed head and a round face.
I ran over to the group and the cat. "What are you guys doing? Leave the cat alone!" I said as I passed the kids and stood in between them and the cat. As I got closer to the cat I could see that it was very skinny almost as though it hadn't eaten in weeks. It had a white coat with a few blue lines around its ears and it had bright blue eyes.
The water kid steps towards me. "What's your problem, we are just having fun. We tried to offer the cat some food but it decided to swipe at us. So instead of food, I'm giving it some water cause it looks thirsty." He said with a smile and a small laugh at the end.
"I think its had enough water, just leave it alone and go home." I said staying in front of the cat just enough to where he couldn't shoot it with water.
"And what's gonna happen if we don't?" As he said that all three of them started to surround me. Then all at once they tried to grab me but I teleported just behind the water guy. Right after the teleportation I rubbed my eye. They were all confused to see me behind them and even more confused as to how I got back there. The cat still laid there and was watching everything unfold.
"Look, just leave the cat alone and we can call it a day."
"Fine we'll leave the cat alone. But you on the other hand, not a chance. You wanna make fun of me now. Get him!"
After that we ran around in circles for a few minutes where I would teleport then they would try and hit me and so on and further on until I didn't teleport one of the times and I got punched in the gut. My eye had a sharp pain and I could barely think. They proceeded to stomp me out and kick my stomach and face until they were stopped by water boy. "Lets get back to messing with the cat."
The other two agreed and they started to walk away from me. Right as they turned around I grabbed the ankle of the the water boy. I looked up to him in pain and I tried to hold his foot in place. My one eye was bloodshot and couldn't stand up. This is all I can do for the time being.
"You just don't know when to quit do ya?" With that he moved his foot from my grasp and was aiming to kick me again but he stopped and in front of my face was the cat hissing at the boy in between us. "Just run away, you can't fight them." I said from the cold ground. The cat was standing its ground and the boy was fed up with it all and aimed to kick the cat but I threw my body on the cat to take the impact. "Just stay down!"
The water boy started kicking me when he was stopped by the scaley kid. "We should go, there's an adult coming." As he said that the three boys left me and the cat in the alley. They left and the Adult found me. "Hey kid are you okay? What happened?"
I dismissed his question. "The cat looked like it was going to fall so I went to catch it and we fell pretty hard but we're fine. All I need is help up and we can get home."
"All right. Just don't push it."
With a fake smile I turned around the corner into the rain and tried to teleport but to no avail. "Looks like we're walking buddy" I said as I looked down. The cat looked a bit scared but had no energy to resist me. I tried my best to keep the cat out of the rain as much as I could but every time I looked down the cat was just staring at me blankly. "Don't worry we'll be home soon."
