Entrance exams 1&2

as soon as I copied mum's powers I saw a bunch of colours from the surrounding people it seems that she can see the emotions that she uses I hurriedly walked into the building.

applicants were separated into groups of five at random and brought into a room and it was my turn before I knew it inside the room were three crystal balls.

it took a second but I realised what those were they are S class used demon hearts while I was admiring the hearts a middle aged man with an eye patch and neck scars walked infront of me and the people I hadn't taken note of and started speaking.

"listen up come up on at a time and put both hands on a heart until I tell you to stop and repeat the process for the other two starting with you little lady"

a black haired and black eyed girl walked up to and placed her hands on the first heart which reacted by shinning light brown the man said stop and she placed her hands on the next heart that glowed white and the final heart showed the letter B+ and the man spoke.

"vex asha, body changer, clean heart, most likely to become B+ ranked, NEXT!"

next was a brown haired brown eyed boy with suntouched skin his first heart was light red his second was white and his last was AA+ and just like last time the man gave a summary.

"kai seit, fire, clean heart, most likely to become AA+ ranked, NEXT!"

next was a blonde boy with crystal blue eyes his almost translucent snow white skin looked more sickly than pretty his first heart was an icy blue like his eyes his second was a dull white and his last was AA+ and the man spoke.

"aiden frost, ice, mostly clean heart, most likely to become AA+ ranked, NEXT!"

I was next so I walked up and touched the first heart but instead of a solid colour it changed until it became like a mirror the instructor said to stop so I touched the next one which glowed a bright pure white the last heart just showed a question mark and the man summarised me.

" jase glass-heart, miscellaneous, pure heart, unknown potential, next..."

I was pretty surprised nothing happened but I didn't care if it did I wasn't planning on hiding my ability granted I wouldn't explain it but just decided that it would be too much trouble to hid it.

lastly was a girl with platinum blonde hair and gold eyes her first heart glowed gold and white her second was a dull but clean white light her last heart showed the letter S-.

"Emilia dragonscale, creation and healing, weak clean heart, most likely to become S- ranked"

he took a breath and continued to talk.

"all of you have clean hearts meaning that you're not in a demon contract and your ranks are..."

he stopped and looked at me but drew his attention back to everyone and continued.

"your ranks are acceptable you all pass to the second phase this is were we seperate the heroes from the sidekicks follow me"

it was a short walk to a room connected to our previous room inside was a door and a large window looking into a small area it was completely white and had a metal dummy and a few weights the man finally introduced himself and started to explain what to do.

"hello I am Markus Melion a former SS- class hero with the name black breaker I am a teacher at the hero academy if you all passed the preliminary you're eligible to become sidekicks this phase simply decides if you become a hero or a supporter just go in the room and show your power at your current maximum"

kai seit pushed past me but I decided to lean in and apologise so I could copy his ability I ended up brushing our hands across and quickly thought about abilities.

{do you wish to copy this ability?

Yes/no

Temporary/permanent}

I decided yes and temporary since I hadn't observed it yet and probably wouldn't get permission he scoffed but ignored me he seemed to be a very entitled person.

once he got inside he conjured a fireball a very basic move but that fireball grew to the size of his head then he freely moved it around then I remembered that the last name seit was the name of one of the five houses that rule the country making him a royal he had complete pyromancy so cool.

he came out and vex asha went in I didn't get to copy her but once inside she undressed making me blush but before i could pull my eyes away she changed into a he completely and effortlessly he changed into a dog and back then changed his ears to dog ears he went back to being a girl and got dressed a true proper shapeshifter unlike my dad.

before aiden frost was able to go in I shook his hand and wished him luck which caught him off guard but I was still able to copy his ability I decided to copy him because I knew that he was a royal the frost family were the employers of my mother.

he went in and instantly a bunch of ice spikes surrounded him he shaped them into swords and then made them shoot out.

I decided to go next because all of my slots were taken so it was useless to try and copy Emilia or vex I walked into the room and focused to create a fireball like kai and I moved it into the figure of a snake then bird and back over and over until I was comfortable with it and maintained that while I conjured five ice spikes and shot them at the wall.

I was exhausted from focusing so hard and using the abilities so much but I managed to walk back to the room only to be greeted by two very a pissed off royals literally about to shoot a fireball and ice spike at me but before they could attack Markus stepped infront of me and spoke up.

"I said to show your power at your current maximum he was simply doing so through I must say although I've met a few copiers and dual ability holders before I have never seen someone who was both and able to copy more than one ability at a time a very rare case.

anyway as I said he was doing nothing wrong you can both still use your abilities?"

they nodded and he asked me something.

"how long can you copy?"

I was compelled to tell the truth.

"with them... about 24 hours?"

he looked at me nodded and then motioned for Emilia to go in the room.

she was very calm and collected a sword appeared in her hand and she kept conjuring different things but I noticed that her body keeped getting small injuries and healing it was then noticed how her two abilities interact her creation ability injures her depending on the size and complexity of what she creates and her body regenerates.

it seemed almost endless until she created two cars and collapsed shadows swallowed her and brought her back Into the room and she got up after a minute Markus started to speak.

"now all five of you will go to the lie detector"

'oh fuck'
