Classmates

"Uncle Lester?" asked Daniel Marleigh. The boy didn't see his uncle that often. But who knew he was an elemental hero/teacher at the Elemental Hero School. The old man had his back to Daniel. He was in a meditating position. The students stared at him. They were trying to meditate but it seemed they were just messing around. The old man turned around.

"Daniel" he said calmly, he didn't seem to care that his nephew was joining his class. "I am your new teacher at Elemental Hero School. Lester stood up. "Daniel Marleigh will be joining our class" he said, "he is my nephew." There was silence for a while. Then all of them came to greet him. "Hi" said a girl about Daniel's age. He shook her hand but it sizzled with electricity. "Sorry about that, I'm still trying to control my electric powers" she said with a shy smile.

Daniel wasn't used to this sudden attention. A huge worry in his chest was lifted. Daniel was scared that he wouldn't fit into the class, that he would be an outlier, but Daniel found out that most people people in the class were just like him, found and taken to this school. But what worried him most was that he was the only one than was found one day late and he was yet to find out his powers.

He overheard his uncle asking Kirsk why Daniel was late. He had worry in his voice. But Daniel didn't bother asking what that was all about. He had a new home, and he is going to do everything to try and excel... right after he finds out what his power...

Daniel quickly made friends with the powerless boy, whose name was Dennis. He had dark skin and black hair. What made his stand out most was his bright orange eyes. Daniel thought they almost glowed if you look at them too long. He was relaxed in nature and always cracked a joke or two to keep a conversation going. Daniel was talking to Dennis about his previous foster home when he felt a chill behind his back. Soon, he realised he was floating. Everyone in the class was staring at him. Just when Daniel thought he unlocked his powers, he dropped to the floor with a THUD!

All the students in the class started laughing. Even Uncle Lester chuckled. "Very funny, Edger" he said with a smile. Edger went up to Daniel and helped him up. "You should have seen the look on your face" he said, trying to stop himself from laughing. "Oh, I'm Edger by the way, in case you haven't figured it out." Daniel smiled. "Nice to meet you" he said, shaking his hand.

Just then, another boy walked up to him. "Hi" he said in a whisper and ran outside. Daniel could only stare in confusion. "That's Harold" Dennis explained. "An elemental hero of earth, he's in our class but he usually gets special schooling with Mrs Elliana." He sighed. "The thing is, Harold has a severe case of anxiety" When he said the word, the whole room went silent. "Oh" said Daniel.

The rest of the day was pretty normal, according to Dennis(whose been here for nearly a week now.) He talked to four more people, Alicia and Klara, elemental masters of ice and water. They were best friends. Daniel found this funny because ice and water were closely related.He found out about the elemental power of speed the hard way. Bonnie, ran around him at a 1000m/h and made his nauseous. He talked to electric girl, the one Daniel talked to when he first got here, Myra. But this conversion went awkward really quickly.

He started his lessons with his Uncle. They meditated for a couple of minutes. According to Uncle Lester, meditating slows down your heart rate and helps you concentrate. This helps channel your power into your body. The school taught Maths and literacy like a normal school. "These subjects are still important in normal world situations" said Daniel's Uncle.

What Daniel found out to be the most difficult was learning Banstrit. This was a special ancient version of the english 'language' that only heroes used. They mostly contained 90% english words. But a few were used to communite between ancient heroes.

But there was one girl who Daniel didn't talk to. He didn't even know her name, even after one week of being at the school. But he got to meet her eventually:

It happened after a meditation lesson with Uncle Lester(In the first year of going to the school, all lessons were taught by one teacher. Dennis thought it would be funny if he threw a small lit fireball, the size of a pea at the quiet, meditating girl in the corner. Daniel wasn't oblivious to this girl. He's seen her many times before. He just never got a chance to talk to her, because everytime you look at her, she is meditating. Daniel watched in horror as the ball travelled all the way to the girls right hand. Daniel was horrified when he saw a vine shoot out of the floor. It coiled around the girl and flicked the stone away. Two more vines grew out of the walls and tripped Dennis.

The class chuckled. Dennis got up and rubbed his head, scrowling. Mr Lester smiled, "I taught Catherine well" he said. Uncle Lester turned to Daniel "It seems you have made alot of friends here" Daniel couldn't help smiling. For the first time in a long time, Daniel finally felt at home...
