The day had come to display what we had developed throughout the week.
"I hope I won't be disappointed, I enjoy being wowed" Mr. Sayo smiled as he stood in front of us.
We were on a field today, and Mr. Sayo said it felt right to have class here instead. "Before we begin though, I hope you guys were able to understand why I gave you this assignment first. It's because what we use to generate our abilities is energy, the more energy you have the more versatile and aggressive you can be with your ability. There's an issue in that equation, put in too much energy and you could give yourself permanent damage or tire yourself out. So you have to put just enough energy to make sure you don't kill yourself or get tired after one attack".
He was right. When I first tried to use the sub-ability I developed, I passed out. Now though, I'm more aware and know not to throw in so much energy.
"So let's start with you kiddo" Mr. Sayo pointed at Devin.
Devin walked forward without saying a word and activated his power. His arm began to glow the usual bright light and Devin shut his eyes, taking a deep breath. Quickly an orb the same color as his arm flew out into the air, the orb looked beautiful as it flew into the air gracefully. After a few seconds, it exploded, and a resounding vibration was felt all through the field.
"That's how it's done, losers" Devin scoffed before walking back to his original position.
"So what are you going to call it? You've got to add flare to your abilities after all" Mr. Sayo said obviously impressed by what he had just seen.
"I'll call it flash bang, that seems like the name perfect name, for the best student in class," Devin stated.
This kid… I didn't like him. Not one bit.
"Ok then, on to the next alpha-ranked student", Mr. Sayo pointed his finger at Daniel. "Impress me".
Daniel walked forward, "Consider yourself impressed sir". He summoned his energy whip in his hand and began to hold it tightly. You could see how red his hands were getting due to this.
I was getting really intrigued, none of us had shared with each other the final result of what we had developed, just that we had developed something. So I was totally at a loss as to knowledge of what would happen now.
After a few seconds of gripping, Daniels' whip began to look less like a whip. It was becoming straighter and looked sharper. We gave it a few more seconds and then, it was a whip no more, in his hand there was now a long sword in its place. "Impressed? Well, I'm not done just yet" Daniel smirked prudently. With the sword now in his hand, he lunged forward and slashed in the air. A blue aura could be seen leaving the sword and traveling far ahead.
As if to test what the aura did, Mr. Sayo put his hand out and when the aura got to him, it cut into his dark skin. Blood began to spill from his arm. "I am most definitely impressed with this one. Don't worry about the cut, it will be gone in a few minutes. So what do you call this new trick of yours".
Daniel looked up at the sky "Let's call this one Morph, keep it simple".
"Miss Delight, it's your turn". Mr. Sayo gave his usual mischievous smile.
Delight stepped forward. "Ok then, my ability is called chimera creation, it works on all living beings. I had never explored whether or not I could be considered one of those living things. Well now, I've found out."
She took her pigeon down from her head, "Are you ready Lovely? Share your power with me ok? I'll make sure I give you a sweet treat after." she touched Lovely's head, and a bright light began to emit from its head. She then touched her own head and it began to glow as well. The bright light covered them, forcing me to bend my head towards the ground.
When I saw the light begin to dim, I turned my head back up and looked at Delight. She was different. On her back, there was a bright display of white wings. Delight began to flap them and her body began to levitate in the sky. It was a beautiful display. The air from her wings brushed up against my face wonderfully.
" Oh wow, I definitely am impressed, this is honestly quite incredible. Give it a name". Mr Sayo smiled.
" I'll call it…symbiosis. Yes, symbiosis, after all I'm working with my animals" she smiled cheerfully.
"Last but not the least, it's your turn…Beatrix" Mr. Sayo pointed at me. The look on his face, he wasn't impressed by me. That much was obvious. I needed to impress him. I wasn't weak, my ability was just as unique, I think…
I walked forward and closed my eyes then began to concentrate. I let my hair flow down to the floor and spread it anywhere and everywhere that I could get it. I breathed in the cold air that surrounded me and manipulated my hair towards Mr. Sayo. I began to manipulate it and turn it around him, it slithered up his body until it got to the roots of his hair.
"What exactly do you think you're doing?" Mr.Sayo asked me. I didn't bother to respond to his question. My sub ability could only work on anything that had hair and he just so happened to be my test subject for today. My hair began to attach itself to Mr. Sayo's head, now that it was deep-rooted, I severed the strand of hair. The process had just begun. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate. I felt the connection of that strand of hair that I had left on Mr. Sayo's head. It was as though there was more hair to manipulate; that was exactly what I did.
I began to manipulate the blonde hair on his head. I stretched it out and used it to create a rope. Although, not too long after the strand of hair died. With the death of my hair, his hair returned to normal too.
"Oh wow, I haven't had that much hair in years. It's a nice touch, a good way to quickly get the upper hand and turn against your enemies. Good work hair girl, give it a name" he grinned at me.
I began to think for quite a bit, I just needed to find a fun name. Then it hit me. Sub ability, Link.
