After Li Lin finished going over the rules and some general information everyone was dismissed from the building and everyone went their separate ways.
Chatty: "This is amazing! We got to see sis Lin again! She looks even more beautiful than before!"
Chatty's eyes have been in a constant heart shape ever since the entrance ceremony began. I didn't even think that was possible until I saw it.
Brainy: "Alright, calm down. We need to find our new dorm rooms so we'll have a place to sleep tonight."
As they were walking toward the high school dormitory, they received numerous looks from the opposite sex.
"Wow, who is that?"
"I think he's a freshman."
"Freshman? More like fresh meat."
"Cut it out, he might hear you."
"heehee..."
Obviously the one they're talking about is chatty, and to be honest, I'm kinda jealous of chatty. He doesn't even have to do anything, and he receives attention like ants to sugar.
Of course, he heard every word directed at him thanks to his ability, but he just shrugged it off like it was nothing.
When they were about to enter the dormitory area, someone suddenly brushed shoulders with them, which was seemingly intentional.
"Watch where you're going, commoner", he spat.
He then revealed a sneer and laughed while walking away.
This person was none other than Chen Xiuying, one of the bullies from elementary school.
And by the looks of the kid on the ground, this Chen Xiuying just got done with a "class" as he likes to call it. Before he begins beating on someone he would always say "class is in session", which was the nightmare of all who heard it.
'looks like he still hasn't changed'
Chen Xiuying was one of the rich kids from a relatively influential family, so he always considered those below him in status to be "commoners". Throughout elementary and middle school he would frequently use this excuse to, what he calls, educate children who needed to be "put in place". He wasn't particularly talented in anything because his parents put most of their resources into nurturing his Eccentricity so that when high school began, he would be ahead of others. So before high school, besides his entourage and looks, he had nothing going for him; though that will likely change in the upcoming days.
Chatty: "Why You-!"
As soon as Chatty saw the kid lying on the ground, he immediately wanted to give Chen Xiuying a piece of his mind, but Mo He quickly stopped him.
Brainy: "Forget it, it's not worth it. Remember what Sis Lin said, Rule#3: no fighting on campus without permission unless it's in an organized setting. Do you really wanna get in trouble before we even start high school."
Hearing this Chatty felt slightly helpless, but he still went over to check if the kid was okay.
Chatty: "You ok, dude."
As chatty offered a hand to him, the kid slapped it away.
Kid: "I'm fine, just leave me alone."
Mo He slightly frowned at the kid's attitude, but as he was uninformed about what the kid was dealing with, he could only sigh as he decided to let it go.
As for chatty, he was unfazed by his attitude. The fact that he was able to have that attitude was reassurance that he was indeed ok.
Chatty: "Sure, as long as you're ok.", he smiled.
After that situation concluded, Chatty and Brainy proceeded to the room marked on their holo-watches, which was coincidentally the same.
Chatty: "Looks like we'll be stuck together for life, partner."
Brainy: "Sorry I don't swing that way."
Chatty: "Come on, you know that's not what I meant."
They both let out a laugh as they merrily walked to their room.

- Principal's office -
*knock* *knock* *knock*
Principal: "Come in"
As the door opened, a man in black entered the principal's office.
Man: "We've got a situation."
Currently seated behind a very organized desk was what appeared to be a middle aged man in a black suit. This man was the principal of Eccentric Academy's high school district. Although he looked to be in his late 30s, he was actually around 60 years old. The difference between his looks and actual age was thanks to the obsenium refinements he was exposed to on a monthly basis, which functions as a youth preserver.
Principal: "Elaborate."
The principal currently had his fingers pushed together in an "I'm listening" way.
Man: "We found the kid you were talking about, but..."
The principal narrowed his eyes.
Principal: "But what?"
Man: "Out of the 500 men you sent to apprehend the target, 363 were critically injured, 56 were killed, and the rest got off with a few minor injuries. Out of the 56 that were killed, 7 of them were 4 stars and the rest were 3 stars, each of them with high combat standards and physical prowess, moreover they were all killed in less than a minute. Luckily, her power is still developing so they were able to contain it in the end. Otherwise, not a single one of the men would have made it back alive."
The principal currently wore a deep frown. Particularly, when the man mentioned the 4 star Eccentric power users. Those weren't just some random people you found on the street, these are demon ranked personnel we're talking about. To enter the demon rank, you need to have a combat power of 100 monster(rank below demon) ranked people, which is equivalent to 100,000 average humans, at the very least. The loss of these people would definitely put a dent in the school's overall combat power, however, a dent was all it was. A dent wouldn't affect their performance all that much, just their appearance.
principal: "Did you at least figure out what her ability was?"
The principal was currently experiencing a huge headache over the whole situation and was awaiting even a speck of good news.
Man: "This..."
Hearing the man's reluctance to answer, the principal started to pinch his glabella. However he suddenly regained his composure.
Principal: "No matter. Just let Dr. Feng evaluate her abilities. Make sure the power limiters are on her until she reaches the evaluation room"
Man: "Yes sir"
After the man left the room, the principal thought to himself.
'I hope we can get through to her in time'
