SSSS-Rank Null

“Hey, Null!” a voice called out. He didn’t look up. He knew who it was—Kael, one of the most obnoxious Gifted kids in the school. Kael sauntered over, a smirk on his face. “What’s the point of you even being here? You’re just taking up space.” Andy kept his eyes on his desk. “I’m here to learn, same as you.” Kael laughed. “Learn what? How to be useless?” He flicked his hand, and a small flame appeared in his palm. “See this? This is power. You’ll never have it.” Andy clenched his fists under the desk but said nothing. Arguing would only make it worse. The teacher walked in, and Kael backed off, but not before shoving Andy’s desk hard enough to knock his books to the floor. He sighed and bent down to pick them up. No one helped him. --- The class dragged on. The teacher droned about mana theory, something Andy found fascinating but couldn’t use. He took notes anyway, scribbling down every detail. Maybe, if he understood how mana worked, he could find a way to level the playing field. “Andy,” the teacher called out, snapping him out of his thoughts. “Can you explain the difference between mana infusion and mana manipulation?” He hesitated. He knew the answer, but he also knew what would happen if he got it right. The Gifted kids hated when he showed them up. “Mana infusion is the process of embedding mana into an object,” he said quietly. “Manipulation is controlling mana directly.” The teacher nodded. “Correct. Good job, Andy.” Kael snorted. “Big deal. He can memorize a textbook. Doesn’t mean he can actually *do* anything.” Andy ignored him, focusing on his notes. He didn’t need Kael’s approval. He didn’t need anyone’s. --- Lunch was worse. He sat alone at a corner table, eating the stale sandwich he’d packed that morning. He could hear the laughter from the other tables, where the Gifted kids sat, showing off their abilities. One girl was levitating her lunch tray, making it spin in the air. Another boy was creating tiny ice sculptures on the table. He ignored them, focusing on his food. But Kael wasn’t done with him. “Hey, Null!” He shouted, walking over with his friends. “You know what’s funny? You’re so weak, you can’t even defend yourself. What happens if a monster attacks? You’ll just die, right?” Andy didn’t look up. “I’ll figure something out.”

Horror thoughts

Content warning: Horror thoughts She waits with a watchful eye, staring at the pasta. It doesn’t boil. Pacing back and forth across the empty kitchen with the useless pots and pans still in the creaky cupboard, she adds another pinch of salt to the pasta. It still doesn’t boil. She thinks about putting on a bit of music while she waits, but the downstairs neighbors hate when she does that, and she can’t remember where she last left her headphones. They might be in her coat pocket or they might not, perhaps she left them on top of the back bed in the room with the leftover textbooks. Or maybe she didn’t, maybe she left them hanging off the tiny coat rack, right next to her keys. Wherever she left them it’s too much work to run and find them, especially when the pot might boil soon. As soon as it boils, she’ll put the pasta in. As soon as it boils. The tiny apartment is only temporary, and the only burner fizzles on her. She coaxes it, fights it, begs it to make a bigger flame but it does not, settling proudly for the dull little spark that it is. Blowing on a flame coaxes a campfire; she wonders if it’ll help the stove. Probably not. She watches the blue flame dance and stares right through it. Her phone lights up. She has a notification, another message she’s not going to read. Why bother, when she knows exactly what it will say? Still, she checks the name. She reads the first two letters and flips the phone over, wincing as it lands a bit too hard on the counter. Fortunately, it’s not cracked. Unfortunately, that part of the counter is still covered in uncleaned bacon grease from his disaster yesterday, and now her phone is too. The television buzzes a commercial from the living area, or whatever passes as such. She cranes her neck to check the ad, but it's not selling anything good, just some sort of medical plan for old people, the kind of thing she couldn't afford even if she chopped off both arms and sold them. When she left home, she swore up and down she wasn’t ever going to be the kind of person who left the TV on. She wasn’t going to eat in front of it, didn’t even need a good model really, just something to use to occasionally watch old cartoons and maybe a new show if he wanted to. Now, the TV is always on, always buzzing, always saying something, just a little too quiet to hear. The pot on the stove is still not boiling. She thinks she remembered to top the water off with cold water, but maybe she didn’t. She wonders if throwing in a tablespoon or two now will change anything. Probably not; her greasy phone buzzes again. She flips it over, checks the name, and turns it back down. He’s not going to write her. She knows that. Still, she checks, just in case. Banana bread would probably be a smart thing to make,

Miu-Chan Is Unfortunate

The cherry blossom trees have bloomed which meant one thing to all highschoolers in Hida Takayama high school. The famous Yamazaki Kaito would officially be let out of his tight security home and allowed to be a second year at the highschool. Yamazaki is everything exceptional, stemming from his distinctive physical appearance, down to his academic brilliance. The sheltered young boy is rumoured to have hacked into the government's database at the early age of nine, and at that thrice in a row!. He is also fluent in seven foreign languages and won several awards in classical music and diverse literature. His parents spare no expense in grooming him into a prime example for all in Japan. But most importantly, this development means that he is also of legal age to date!. A fact that even the third year students and some young teachers shamelessly acknowledged. Yamasaki Miu. That is as much as anyone at school knew about the basket case loner. Despite her good looks there is squarely nothing of interest in her. That is, till her new seat mate happens to the Apple of everyone's eyes. Yamazaki Kaito. The boy's life drastically started to change, the very day he saved her life, on their very first day of school. Read what happens when an all too perfect boy collides with an accident prone classmate, bearing zero interest in him. *Excerpt* Yamazaki Kaito tilted his porcelain features to the side, to steal a peak from the corner of his almond eyes, at the moving figure, crouched beside him. Her nose was buried in the maths textbook which she held upside down, staring intently at the pages as though she understood what was written in them. "Say, you don't happen to have some sort of crush on me now, do you Miu-Chan?." Yamazaki teased, addressing her by her first name with intent of earning a reaction from the reserved seat mate of his. The young girl remained unfazed, save for the patches of crimson that painted both her cheeks. Yamazaki chuckled, lowering his lower lip to make another flirtatious comment, but was miserably cut off. "Hehehe...why would I fall for someone so deficient?." Yamasaki Miu sharply replied, grinning from ear to ear, gently pushing a strand of hair behind her left ear. "Deficient?!!." The entire class was disrupted by his sudden outburst and turned their heads in his direction, wearing worrisome expressions on their faces. He's all bark and she's the bite!.
