Chapter 9 - Ability Apprehension Exam

"We don't talk about this…" He walked down the hallway as a tall man with white long hair walked down the hallway and entered the room. Mia sat up on his desk from his slouched position at the appearance of the teacher. It wasn't just him either, almost half the class was in shock at the teacher standing at the front of the room. The student sitting to Mia's right; Toshinori Mari, jolted standing.

"Diecast!! My dad's told me all about you! Why are you here, villain!?"

He slammed his hand on his desk. He stood up completely but was still leaning against the teacher's desk. He smiled a big creepy smile spooking everyone in class but stopping and looking down, his long white hair covering his eyes. He looked up and genuinely smiled at the students, calming some of them. Toshi sat back down as the teacher explained.

"My name isn't Diecast anymore… call me Shimura, Joda Shimura. And I'm your ability ED teacher…" He looked around the room for any hands, but the only one raised was his own son, Akio Shimura.

"What is it Shimura?" He pointed at his son who politely stood up.

"So? if you used to be such a big villain, then why are you teaching ability ED at the AWA school of Japan?" He sat down when he had finished. Mr. Shimura put his fingers to his cheek, spinning it around.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you sometime else, for now, get into your training uniforms and meet me at the training field" The teacher left the room as all the students stood up. Some of them started talking as they walked down the hallway. Mia stayed silent, but not for long as Ryuuji walked up beside him.

"Hey Mia, it's been a while, hasn't it?" he smiled looking down on Mia. Mia's eyes widened in disbelief as he jumped forward hugging Ryuuji. Ryuuji laughs as Mia breaks the hug.

"Yeah, I see you're the same height as ever…" looking up to see the smile on Ryuuji's face.

"And I see your sense of humor hasn't changed either" he laughed as Mia slightly smiled as the two continued down the hall.

"Wonder what Nohan is up to…" he didn't look up at Ryuuji, neither did Ryuuji look down at Mia. Mia stayed silent for a few seconds.

"I'm not sure, wherever he is, I'm sure he's doing something he enjoys…" The two entered the changing rooms and got changed into their training uniforms. Ryuuji's being too big for him. They walked onto the field being the last ones out and so commenced the ability apprehension test. Mia and Ryuuji looked around but didn't see their teacher. The only two there were Mr. Shimura and another teacher.

"Okay students… This is Mr. Moss… he will help us with the exam…" everyone said their hello's. Mr. Moss waited until it was over to start explaining.

"Okay, this exam will be a 1 V 1 sort of thing. We will have two students fight each other, if the other gives up or is immobilized, you win. And based on that, we will give you your class rankings… got it? The only exception to this will be the final match… It will be a 1v1v1… Due to the odd number of students in this class…" Everyone nodded and understood what the purpose was.

"First up we have… let's see… Aiko Shimura versus Tensei Shibura" The two students slowly took their first steps towards the entrance gate.

"One can disable and enable anything he looks at, the other can disintegrate anything instantly… This will be interesting Mia" Ryuuji was watching the screen as Mia nodded. the screen showing the two at opposite ends of the field. Shibura was stretching as was Shimura. A buzzer sounded causing Mia to jump. 

Shibura stands on top of a building as several buildings disintegrate and fall to their bases.

"That's stupid… You're just showing me where you are!" Shibura flexes his eyes as everything seemingly freezes. Jumping towards the currently decaying building. Shibura smiles but it quickly fades as Akio appears beside him.

"How did-" Akio punches Shibura, sending him flying to the ground. Smoke explodes as suddenly Akio can't breathe. The smoke rises as Shibura stands there with his eyes glowing.

"Payback time…" Shibura jumps up and clenches his fist. Glancing at it.

"Ability activate… increased strength!" Shibura punches Akio in the stomach, sending him flying into a building. Smoke explodes as Shibura bolts down kicking Akio in the chest. Akio's eyes go blank as another buzzer rings out.

"Tensei Shibura wins… please exit at the closest gate" Mr. Moss then changed the screen to show the whole field. He was ready to call the next round.

"Next up is… Itsumi Mari VS Ryuuji Hakao, please step forward" he read off his clipboard. Mia looked up at Ryuuji.

"Don't worry man, I'll be fine" he walked away towards the field gate. Mia trusted him but still hoped for the best. The two entered the field, both ready for action. Ryuuji closed his fist tightly as a suit of armor appeared on him, which looked like samurai armor. Itsumi generated an aura with a red tint around his fists. The two leaped towards each other as soon as the start buzzer went off. Itsumi instantly punches Ryuuji across the face, sending him sliding. 

Ryuuji catches himself and jumps forward. Punching Itsumi back. Itsumi grabs Ryuuji's shoulders and knees him in the stomach. Ryuuji coughs as his armor slightly thins out. His eyes widen as Itsumi reels his fist back and clenches it. Ryuuji falls to one knee and thickens his armor. Using his forearms as a shield. Itsumi throws an onslaught of consecutive punches. Ryuuji unable to find an opening.

"HAAAA!!!" Itsumi punches one last time as Ryuuji's armor breaks. Ryuuji fell to the ground unable to move.

"Itsumi Mari is the victor… Please exit at the closest gate"
