Espers, A group of individuals that can harness unexplainable and destructive powers at the cost of their own pain.
A Boy is sleeping in his classroom, his head laying on the desk with his arms covering his face. They slept undisturbed as the teacher turned their head over at them, slightly annoyed by their lack of participation.
"Kimura!"
"Huh! What…?" The boy snapped up awake at the sound of his name.
"Do you know the equation for this?"
"Huh…? Let me see…" He rubbed his right eye.
Kimura rubbed it to clear up the gunk that could possibly be on his eye, looking at the touch-screen board. On the board is a pre-calculus math equation, Kimura took a second as he stared at it intently.
"It's x=4."
"That's…Right."
The Teacher was surprised yet unsurprised at the same time, going back to teaching math to the class. Everyone there seemed to be taking class seriously while Kimura was just taking notes casually.
Supposedly there was a fight today…Although I don't hear anything…
He looked out the window as he noticed a group picking on three individuals in the football field within the track field. Kimura raised his hand for the first time in the homeroom, everyone looking over surprised.
"Uh…Yes Kimura…?" Even the teacher was surprised.
"May I go use the restroom Mr. Vallance?"
"Uh…sure Kimura."
"Thanks Mr. Vallance."
Kimura got up from his seat and headed out of his homeroom. The homeroom was quiet from the sudden hand raise from earlier, however they continued shortly after. Kimura walked down the right wing as he heads downstairs, spiraling down and exiting out of the backdoor.
Click! Swoosh!
The door swung open as Kimura ran outside to the track field, going around the bleachers and heading towards the middle of the football field. Laughing and crying could be heard as there was indeed a group there and about three people there.
"C'mon! fight back with that shitty mana of yours!"
A red short haired girl giggled, staring down at a female student on the floor before she kicked them across the face. Blood splattered across the grass as the red-haired girl squatted down, grabbing the other girl's jet-black hair and lifting her head up off the grass.
"I don't want to see your dumb face around me or my friends anymore squealer (slang for "ratting out / telling on someone")."
"G…Go to hell Shoekisser… (slang for "Lapdog")"
"The fuck did you say to me you piece of shit!"
She slammed her face onto the floor as she lifted the girl's head back up, her face pelted with pieces of dirt with some blood drawn from her nose.
"Hey!" Kimura shouted out.
"Huh?" The red-haired girl turned to look where it came from alongside her group of friends.
"Do you have anything else to do besides beating the fuck out of people?"
"Who are you Mr. Nobody? How about you fuck off and quit getting into people's business huh?"
"No can do Shoekisser, can't believe a counter (A Role in a Hierarchy) would be doing someone else's dirty work, seems bad for your public image."
"You don't know what it's like to be in this position. So how about you fuck off before I make you fuck off." She glared over at Kimura.
Kimura took this time to stretch, loosening up himself as he pops his knuckles and does slight hops a bit to loosen up himself. While he was finishing up, a punch came towards him 0
Within a split second, Kimura was gone from the guy's view, his eyes widened as he looked down, Kimura had arched his upper body back to dodge the punch. Woosh! BAM! A smash came from below, striking right at the guy's cheek as he stumbled back a bit.
"You must be Seikin, your form is horrible, and you failed a cheap shot." Kimura stood back up straight.
Kimura insulted him as Seikin rushed in, two others coming from behind him as Kimura tapped his medical patch twice with a smirk. Kimura backed up as two other guys came around the first one, all three of them throwing punches at Kimura.
Kimura was doing rather well defensively, blocking punches and kicks as Kimura kicks away the guy on the left, turning his attention to the one in the middle by slamming his fist into his nose, palm shoving him away as he caught a punch towards his cheek.
That must be…Verbalt.
Pulling Verbalt's fist and his entire body in, Kimura then slammed his knee into Verbalts stomach before elbowing the back of their spine, just as he made contact, a projectile came flying near Kimura's bangs.
The person he kicked away earlier was using their Mana Ability, firing water shots towards Kimura as Kimura shoved Verbalt down, making sure they weren't caught in the crossfire.
Water Bullets…That's Eniko…
Kimura began dodging as he was just barley able to make out where the bullets were flying at. As Kimura dodged Seikin came rushing as his body was seemingly made of steel now, ramming into Kimura's side.
Kimura flinched and winced in pain as he looked and stomped onto the ground, dragging his feet across the ground as he stretched his legs out to stop himself from moving further back. Just as they stopped, he felt his back being pelted by high velocity water bullets, from his lower back to the back of his head.
Kimura endured the pain as he felt the spread of the shot getting smaller and smaller as they began focusing on one spot on Kimura's back. However, Kimura took a deep breath as he gritted his teeth, his right eye began to flare up with a deep purple hue.
Within seconds, Kimura's skin began to become coated in a sort of similar metal like Seikin's mana had done. This caught Seikin off guard as Kimura began pushing Seikin back, the sound of water hitting against his metal back could be heard.
These water bullets are getting real annoying…
Kimura thought as he managed to slip his arms under Seikin's grip, clamping his hands onto their biceps as he forced their head to be exposed. Kimura took immediate advantage as he headbutted him, the sound of metal clashing reverberating and a spark flying off. They loosened up their grip as Kimura tackled Seikin this time as he began charging towards Eniko.
They began rapidly firing as their water bullets were bouncing right off their skin, Kimura rushing faster as he threw Seikin to the side once he got in close. Just as they aimed their finger at Kimura, Kimura moved quickly and grabbed onto their wrist, pointing it up as they fired a water bullet into a window.
Kimura then threw a punch at their right abdomen as they caught the punch just before it made contact, Kimura swung both arms to each side as it exposed both their bodies open. Eniko tried to prevent Kimura from getting a hit in as Kimura stepped inwards, thrusting themselves forward and smashing the top of his head against Eniko. Eniko loosened his grip as Kimura pried his right hand free as he grabbed Eniko's face and swept his legs, slamming the back of his head to the ground.
Kimura stepped back a bit as he kept his guard up, walking past Eniko as he walked towards the red-haired girl. She grits her teeth and clenches her hands into a fist as she gets up and rushes towards Kimura.
If those three were Eniko, Verbalt and Seikin…She must be Kumiko…
Kimura stopped dead in his tracks as Kumiko threw a punch. Kimura effortlessly slipped under the punch and lunged forward. Her eyes tracked and looked towards Kimura, looking where he was as she took a punch to her face and flung back towards the track field.
The punch landed on her cheek as she was sent spiraling towards the downed black-haired girl. The black-haired girl rolled out of the way as she watched Kumiko splat onto the grass, looking over at Kimura then back at the red-haired girl, seeing her groan in pain and slightly spaz from the punch.
"Are you Alright.?" Kimura asked the black-haired girl, his skin returning to normal.
"U-Uh huh…" she nodded.
Kimura sighed calmly as he turned around, leaving the field as he headed towards the backdoors and re-entering the academy. While walking Kimura rubbed his knuckles a bit, slightly swollen.
