Brian

Wait… Never mind. I'm not late for school. Although I should get ready, it's only 8:30 am. I'm fine I took 30 seconds to get out of bed just to sit there and look at the ceiling. I then got up and got ready. I was dreading coming to school, but I did so anyway. I got ready and ran down the hallway, went down the flight of stairs, and kept running through the hallway. Where once again I found my parents sitting in the kitchen drinking tea. "Hello, mom! Hello dad!" "Good morning Sapphire." I always had the staff prepare a jelly sandwich for breakfast, especially on days where I was in a rush. I don't like peanut butter, so I just jelly all the time. I picked up my sandwich and left it out the door. This time since I wasn't in a rush and school started in an hour, I got my holo-pad out and put on some calming music as I walked to school in the uniform. I opted for something other than a skirt as I have never liked them (no. Sapphire is not transgender she just prefers clothes that aren't for girls you know comfort over style she feels more comfortable as she is used to dressing in a cover-up fashion for… reasons.) I decided to wear a suit.

They fueled it with beast cores to provide protection and self-cleaning. I was walking down the last street and arrived in front of the spectacle named Relix academy. As I walked in, I saw plenty of students walking in the hallway.As I got to my locker and saw the books in it I felt a presence following me I turned around and… It was the kid I danced with yesterday. "No need to glare at me." he said with his arms up. "Why were you following me?" "I was going to greet you and tell you my name but I guess I can skip the greeting. Hello, my name is Brian Ryhem." He introduced himself quickly I guess I startled him. "My name Is Sapphire Selain." I replied to his greeting. "So, Sapphire, do you want to go to the beginning ceremony? You seem kinda lost." I found my locker but yes I was lost other than that, this building is so large I can't find the right room. "Okay let's go." We walked down the hall

way in silence. It was awkward. But then he broke the silence, "So what's your Power?" "Hmmm, my Power is I'm a blind Empath I guess." I responded nonchalantly, "You're WHAT!!!" "But you can see, right? I mean, you haven't been running into anybody or any walls. So how???" "Because to me, you're an outline." "So you haven't been able to see my face this entire time?" "Correct. How did you figure it out?" I said in a sarcastic voice. *Gasp "So much sarcasm I might just die." I gave him the *Bruh* face, or at least I think I did. 'So much cringe I'm going to cringe myself to death.' Olivia said she looked like she was enjoying this. "What's with the frown?" "That wasn't funny." I responded deadpan, "It was funny to me." During this conversation, I felt many eyes looking over at us in envy. "Brian, why are there so many people staring at us?" "Because you're pretty." he said it without a single fluctuation in his slightly happy calm color. "Okay, but they are looking in envy." "Probably because you're pretty and I'm handsome, or at least I think I am. They probably think we're a couple." "Well, they can think whatever they want to think." I replied, "You are my kind of person." he said "I think you might be my kind of person as well." I replied. What I like about him is that I can tell he's not the same as other people. He keeps a relatively happy and calm aura no matter what, even when he seemed surprised on the outside his aura never changed. He is kinda like a cooler for me, with all the constantly fluctuating colors than we have Brian. He also speaks his mind no matter what. When we finally entered the colosseum, it was 9:30 am and when we walked in the doors all the attention went on us two walking side by side. "Hey, do you think we did something wrong?" Brian leaned his head down to whisper. "Everyone in this room except the teachers have envious auras. Are you sure you're not a supermodel even the girls have envious auras?" "Well, I might have downplayed myself a bit,

but I don't think I'm a supermodel." he replied. We then sat in the middle row and it looks like others are still coming in. We were early. "So Brian what's your Power? "Oh my power is thought guidance, thought manipulation or mind control, whatever you want to call it." "That sounds very cool." "Believe me, there are some limits on it like distance, the strength of the mind and also there are the people who notice they are under it. "Seems like a double-edged sword." "I know." Soon all the seats were filled and the whole gigantic room went quiet. As the thin headmaster walked in the front of the room "Hello and welcome to this academy. First I congratulate you all on being admitted to this prestigious school. Second, you will be staying here for 3 years. And six months until you are an adult. Second. you will attend 3 main classes: hand to hand combat power training and history. . Next he had a huge speech and the assembly was over.

Empath is a cover up people her Power is op so she cannot tell what her full power is

When the assembly was over, everyone got up in an orderly fashion and walked out like soldiers. I and Brian were still walking with each other. The two hand-to-hand combat classes us two don't have combat-related OPs, so they absolutely required us to go to this class. This school is a boarding school so we will be shown our rooms and our roommates after the school session is over. When we were out in the hallway, someone bumped into me. It looked like a mistake so I was about to ignore it but then "Did you just bump into me, you stupid commoner." I wasn't taking from him so… "What did you say brat?" I replied like I didn't hear him. "I said you 're a stupid commoner, did you not hear me?" his aura was giving off a malicious intent. "I will not take this act of such disrespect from a lowly commoner." He started becoming angrier and angrier. He then tried to slap me. That was a mistake. I didn't tell him that because I was about to knock the flying shit out of him, but he needs to learn this one. Maybe I was taking too much from Olivia. But I was mad at this one. Maybe I have anger issues, but whatever.

I slapped his hand away, then I slapped the shit out of him. Brian was worried at first but whatever this noble needs to learn his lesson. I will not have people who are "above me" starting shit. I only hit him with halfway force so I didn't accidentally end up rearranging his brains, but just enough for everyone to hear the crack of his bones. The hallway went quiet seeing this. All the bustling stopped and all the chattering came to a pause. They looked at him with pity and looked like none of them were surprised and none of them were calling teachers, so violence must be a common occurrence in this school. They stopped, and the silence said, *tough buddy* He looked around in silence, wondering if anyone was going to help him. Then he felt the pain.

He was feeling immense anger but one look at me turned it down and it turned into sadness and self-pity. He screamed, "Please! Please, anyone!" he screamed, but no one came for him. I kinda felt bad for him for a split second, and the feeling faded away in a split second. He got up in silence after his hysterics and went to the nurse's office. I could tell he was too weak to fight me 1 on 1. As he walked away Brian grabbed my shoulder, his aura just as calm and happy as ever. When I turned all the way around he had a happy aura more than calm he gave ne a thumbs up and started laughing "hahahaheeeeheeeeee" he was laughing so hard he wasn't breathing he was shaking to "Y- y- you just beat down the t- t- the hand to hand combat teachers son." he was stuttering because he was laughing in between words. I find it a bit confusing that his aura is still happy. He just saw someone get their jaw broken with a simple slap

and all he could think about is how funny the situation was. I changed the subject to "You were worried when I was fighting" "well yeah I don't know how powerful you are. And that noble was getting pretty cocky so I assumed he was a big shot." he replied nonchalantly. "Just always remember I am stronger than you think." "Vague. I like it." he replied in a teasing manner. We finally got to hand-to-hand combat class when we entered the teacher had a quick flash of violent red then his aura stayed at an angry red. I might have to be careful and once again the girls and the boys looked at us in envy. "Once again I ask you this question, are you sure you're not a supermodel?" he sighed then said. "Okay okay I might be a little more popular than I said but still why are you so distrusting of me?" he whined a little. "Because you know I'm an empath and you know I know when you're lying." We sat down and class hadn't started yet so I was questioning him. My conversation was interrupted by the teacher introducing himself. "Hello, my name Lacya Bree you may call me Mr . Bree. Today we will be learning the basics of physical combat. Most of you here do not have combat-related Powers. Correct?" "Yes!"

Almost everyone in the classroom responded. "Good. Now does anyone know what are the most important things in physical combat?" one boy in the back raised his hand "strength!" "Hm good answer very important but the most important things are balance footwork and strength. You must keep your balance at all times or you can get knocked over easily and you will be easy to predict and dodge."Next up is strength. If you do not have sufficient strength you will end up dead." The whole class had a nervous feeling when he said it. "When your strength is low it doesn't matter if you have all the skill in the world. If you die in the first hit it doesn't matter what you do so for this class lesson one is strength. In 2 days you will figure out your fighting style and you will pick your weapon.
