Scot-free

I turned on the tv after a shower. "Terrorist group Lokust attacks another school for elites!" Lokust the most prominent terrorists in this country. After their attack on one of the big elite academies 20 years ago, they had gained infamy; they're glorified school shooters, to say the least.

If they were to ever attack this school, they'd get sent packing. All of them put on a t-shirt and sent it to their families.

Their whole jingle is equality but haven't they heard? One person will always be below or above another. Just as true freedom will always hinder the freedom of another.

"Hello." Leona said, rubbing her eyes. "Hello." Leona slightly cringed in disgust when she looked at the news "Is there something wrong?" I asked. "No it's just that people dying isn't news I like to hear." "I understand." If you put context clues together with her only having a brother and the rest of her family dead.

And her obvious disgust towards Lokust. Her family was probably the victim of their terrorist attacks. 'Detective, back at it again!' Olivia exclaimed. I did the internal equivalent of an eye-roll.

I made scrambled eggs. I left the dorm at 8:45 am.

I met up with Brian was still getting ready so we talked without her. Around 15 minutes later, Leona met up with us. We only had combat class with each other. Currently, I had my black uniform on with my long jet-black hair tied up in a ponytail.

"The exam isn't far away!" Leona said in a giddy voice. "Why are you so excited?" Brian asked, visibly confused as to why she was so excited. "Because I get to see my brother again!" She was very happy and excited this morning why? I don't know.

"Today is a sparring day. We get to use our powers, so today is going to be dangerous." Leona said, worryingly looking at me. "I'll be fine." I said calmly. "But your power is more of a support kind!" "Trust me it can do a lot more than just support." I said mysteriously.

"Back to the exams. They are three months away!" Brain said winning the argument with one sentence. Soon enough we were inside of the theater-like classroom once again. The light turned off and a large stage was shown.

"First up Brian Ryhem and Kaly Lockhem." Surprising that this would happen, at least I don't have to watch a bunch of random people go up first. Brian took his matte black scythe and walked up to the stage.

"3 2 1 GO!" Both of them dashed forward. I felt a fluctuation, the same one when someone activates their power but Brian didn't activate it yet. I used my power to assess what was going on. Brian was looking supremely confused. Looking around. Soon, Kaly rushed forward and flipped her daggers out of her sleeves.

I finally figured it out she's invisible but only to Brian. A very powerful ability to have when facing off one on one or to confuse a group's teamwork. Brian activated his power. He said his power required a certain distance. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need eye contact anymore.

At a point he was skilled enough to not need eye contact. The girl only slowed down and she didn't completely stop moving. Sweat was dripping down her face as she tried to move away from him.

Eventually, she succeeded, and Brian looked disappointed.

He could still hear her, so he made use of that and swung his scythe around. Looking for her eventually, she came too close. He got her now all that was needed was to find her, but she did something unexpected: she threw one of her daggers.

The dagger missed, but now Brian could see her direction. She laid on the floor in the flattest position she could. It was very smart. Brian ran over to her position and he tripped and stumbled over her body looking confused. Soon she got on her feet and her power was getting exhausting for her to handle.

She had it activated for much too long. It was basically a win for Brian already. She had a lot of daggers under her uniform and she threw two daggers. But normal eyes couldn't see them. They were coated with her power. They stabbed Brian right in the shoulders.

That shit must hurt like hell. I saw some visible cringes from my peers around me, including Leona. They had never fought to the death before, so it was understandable. Brian yanked both of them out; he wasn't going full strength at all but something changed in his eyes.

Like he was a different person altogether. Then I realized OHHH SHIT! Before Kyla's death, Brian had no visible anger issues, but after…

He dropped his scythe to enhance his speed. He formed his hands into a blade-like shape he rushed." This battle is over." The combat teacher got in between both of them. Brian snapped out of it and all was fine.

Brain walked a walk of shame. Although he didn't need to. He severely held back. He could've made her completely stop. But if she fought too hard against his control, he wasn't at a level where he could incapacitate her without turning her into a vegetable.

Hence why when we were on missions, he never used his power on people who didn't deserve it or weren't knocked out. "It's alright." Leona said, patting his back. He groaned and sat down with a frown. Fifteen more people came and went soon enough it was Leona's turn.

"Leona Raiton and Brina Lohart." Both walked up on the stage. I looked at Leona. She had silver eyes, dark hair with streaks of light blue, olive colored skin with a beauty mark right above her eyebrow.

I watched what was going on. "3 2 1 GO!" Leona's speciality was speed and strong hard-hitting attacks. An almost perfect combo. Leona charged her legs and dashed forward at a great speed. The girl didn't even get time to react to her speed.

She got roundhouse kicked and her face was driven into the metal. She tried to block but her arm immediately dropped because of the electrical charge. She didn't even get to activate her power.

"Leona WINS!" What was this a WWE broadcast? Eventually, I was called up to the stage. And what a coincidence one person part of Luka's posse was facing against me. "Huh I feel like I've seen you before." He said in a confused voice. "Interesting we're in the same class so of course."

What an idiot. "3 2 1 GO!" I stood still wanting to humiliate him, but this time he'll remember it. He looked at me with a confused look. I activated my power. Lately I had been able to see ahead of time weirdly even though that wasn't supposed to be my power.

Although it was weak. His power was body enhancement, not strengthening, although that's a side-effect. His first move is a mad dash which was what most started with. He would punch with his right arm immediately after. I swayed my body towards the left and tripped him.

He fell right on his face I could hear some chuckles. I grabbed his head before he could get up. "What are you going to do!" I said his next sentence before he even got the first word out. "I'm going to humiliate you." I said truthfully. I dashed towards the nearest and bashed his head against the wall.

1 2 3 4 5. "This fight is over!" The combat teacher tried to come between us. I shoved him off with all my force and threw the opponent across the floor. I heard gasps and yells. His body slid across the floor and a smear of blood streaked the floor.

The professor looked at the body with shock. And anger. He stomped towards me. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!" He grabbed my shoulder. I moved his hand off from my shoulder.

He moved in front of me at a very high speed. "Just get out of my way." "You'll be coming with me young lady."

He grabbed my wrist and started dragging me along. When we were at the row Brian sat at. I gave him a playful wink. He sighed. I know I will not get any punishment for this, it was just incredibly fun.

He dragged me across the school to the headmaster's office. At this point the headmaster wouldn't dare give me a punishment. It was quite cocky thinking like that, but it is true.

I was eventually in the office, sitting opposite to the headmaster. "Sorry I can't give out a punishment for this, it was a spar." His face looked completely shocked, surprised and angry the list could go on and on.

He probably wanted revenge for that first day of school. "Hehehehehehe." I laughed as I walked back to the class scot-free. I sat in the same seat at the back of class with Brian and Leona once again. Brian looked at me with a smile I gave him a fist-bump.

"Is there a joke I'm missing right now?" "Yes." We both said at the same time. "Are you going to tell me?" "No." I said with a chuckle.
