Welcoming Ceremony

The day has come, all students have arrived at Axium Potentia Hero Academy. Which is why I find myself sitting among the Regs in a very large ballroom.

The raven-haired, tall, snow white principal starts her glowy speech with her introduction, "Hello new students, I am your principal, Ophis Dantalion, a Vampira, and I hope you all enjoy your time here. The rulebook has already been distributed to all of you, so please read it and follow it. It is best for the security and safety of everyone that it is followed. This academy has a long history of over a hundred years. You will surely grow into your unique talents and abilities here. Now please welcome the freshman representative, Faas Pantera."

I internally scream, "What the fuck, what the fuck what the fuck. I didn't get no damn memo!", as I got up and started walking.

I approach the podium and try my best to not embarrass myself. Principal Dantalion asks me, "introduce yourself to your peers Faas."

I go to the mic and turn to the crowd, "Hello, my name is Faas Pantera, enrolled in the hero support course and 12 years old. Orphan and certified child genius. I hope that we all get along well together and graduate ready for the world."

I go back to my seat tanking the stares of a lot of my peers. Peers that thought they deserved to representative rather than a 12 year old Reg.

I sighed glad I didn't embarrass myself, "I'm going to find out why I didn't know of this beforehand, that was a horrible surprise and I like surprises."

Next up to speak was the student council president, a junior vampira student named Julia Gunngrave. A little bit on the short side, red hair and the vibrant white skin. Standing behind her were all the important members of the student council it looks like. The only one she introduced though was her vice-president, a taller ebony beauty junior student named Kalia Crescent. Kalia was introduced as a werewolf, which makes the pairing interesting to say the least.

Julia Gunngrave went through the basics, rules, consequences, schedules and all that stuff. We were dismissed only to find a dead fairy outside in a side garden. The faculty quickly shooed us away to our dorms.

An afternoon later authorities declared it a murder and I found out how I missed being notified I was the representative. Atmora was supposed to notify me, so when I contacted her since I knew, she apologized and explained. Atmora admitted to forgetting to tell me and promised to make it up to me.

As night falls, I find a dream of one of the faculty that knows about the situation. Who better than the principal Dantalion. So I dive into her dream. I manipulated the scenes to go back to the crime scene and listened on what was said.

"Blood was drained, leg was gnawed on by animal teeth. Her back was burned with magic, and she was stabbed in the lungs. We can't narrow it down with so many methods of murder used. It could be a group kill, a frame job, a rogue magical creature, we can't find out yet. We'll be taking the body tonight, we'll do what we need to do and the academy can resume classes in the morning no problem."

Headmaster thanks the detective, "Thank you Detective Kyle, we'll always be in touch so contact me if you need anything for the investigation."

"Will do Ma'am, have a goodnight.", the detective says in farewell.

The scene ends and nothing relevant follows after.

I think in interest, "Quite a mystery is it. Well, Sandman can't just have a child die in his knowledge and not make sure there is justice. I'll be able to investigate this myself easily at night. The culprits or culprits will definitely get the sack."

I leave the dream to return to my own.

"Back to training.", I breathe out.

At the end of my training, I got better at technomancy, and martial arts. I used Ima to increase my strength again and I finally reached 250 IQ and 200 meter dream entry range.
