elective, hero code

the electives offered were quite large from a focus on using guns to ancient history even if only one person chose an elective a new class would be made we are the future of heroism after all.

I was thinking of either advanced martial arts or ability development when I saw an option at the bottom of the sheet.

[if so desired a student may select a maximum of two electives and alternate weeks, note: extra theory to be done]

extra theory didn't sound too fun however there were worst things and I didn't really want to pick a single elective so I decided that combining martial arts and ability development would be my best bet.

I filled out the enrolment form and gave it to Mr Melion he gave me a weird look but took the form it took about half an hour until everyone filled out their forms and Mr Melion started speaking.

"now that is out of the way I will give a overview of hero life and law this year, we will be looking at the hero code and the different codes and policies for different heroism careers along with national and international law anyone care to recite the international hero code?"

Emilia from the exam answered.

"the international hero code is what all countries hero system is based on it has five core points,

one 'minimise harm' as some is unavoidable, two 'protect' the innocent regardless of status, three obey the 'law' to not break that which we uphold.

four uphold our 'integrity' and five bring 'hope' to the hopeless"

Mr Melion was as stone faced as ever as he replied to her answer.

"all I really asked was for you to state the values themselves, minimise harm, protect, law, integrity, hope, still very good for an amateur Emilia"

the hero code was public knowledge anyone could recite it off by heart granted apparently not all heroes followed the same code which I am still a bit confused about but I stopped thinking once Mr Melion began speaking.

"anyway we will learn all about that later but for now let's get a class ranking I have made a ranking already based on power and potential all classes have these and based on actions, improvements, and grades rank goes up and the top three in each class get a special prize"

as he said that he unveiled a screen with people's names and faces along with the biggest reason they are their rank for example the last place one reads.

[20th place, Jacob hacery-least potential, mediocre strength and grades]

I was second which caused shock to make my body recoil before I read it.

[2nd place , jase glass-heart- strength varies greatly, high grades, big potential]

it was mostly my grades and potential that got me 2nd place and not my strength which made me calm down a bit and I looked at everyone else's ranks

[rank 1- Adrian blament-very strong, good grades, good potential

rank 2- jase glass-heart- strength varies greatly, high grades, big potential

rank 3- Emilia dragonscale- great potential, good grades, not combat ready

rank 4- kai seit- explosive strength, low grades, great potential, low control

rank 5- aiden frost- high grades, great potential, precise but low power

...]

aiden rose his hand and Mr Melion nodded in approval so aiden asked his question.

"I can understand jase has potential but from what I've seen he would be unreliable day to day without anyone with him and I disagree with ranking kai above me"

Mr Melion looked to actually show a rare sign of emotion too bad it looked like annoyance and after a few moments of silence Mr Melion replied.

"to address your first point jase's potential ranks above yours and Adrian combined and if he is with strong people he is going to be the strongest in the group and you shouldn't be telling people someone is unreliable without proof.

you second point comes off arrogant you and kai have the same potential but if kai had more control he would very easily beat you in your current state in short he is more powerful than you currently I don't tolerate any disputes of ranking"

after that Mr Melion went over a few more things and before I knew it lunch time had begun I didn't pack anything to eat so I decided to just take a nap since phones and other unessential devices were prohibited and taken until we go home.

kai however didn't take to me napping very well and walked up to me in some sort of demonstration of dominance he had a sort of bratty swager like oh my God I get that he is a royal but who the hell gave this guy an ego?

he started speaking and gave me a suprise.

"I challenge you to a duel for your spot as rank #2 is that alright teach?"

Mr Melion appeared out of the shadows and spoke.

"sure make your way to the grounds you two aren't the only ones with disagreements"

that is when I realised what was happening I really didn't want to fight a royal I at least needed an ability on par with one that's when I saw him, Adrian blament a dark haired boy a bit taller and better built than myself.

the rank number one had to have a useful ability so I walked other to him and introduced myself.

"hi I'm jase glass-heart it is an honour to make your acquaintance"

I put out my had for a handshake fully expecting the result he instead of shaking my hand moved it aside it didn't matter I still copied his ability he started speaking.

"Hey I felt that what did you do?!"

I tried to keep my suprise hidden and play dumb.

"I don't know what you mean I was just saying hello"

he looked to be getting angrier and he had and outburst.

"anyone with enough training can sense an ability being activated so I'm going to ask you one last time what did you do!?"

I checked the name of his ability it was called slow down so nothing world destroying probably so I answered his question.

"i copied your ability"
