Chapter 4: Origin

In class, Kaaru was feeling bored over the maths teacher's teaching. He looks at the teacher and later glanced to another direction. He looks at Hiro from a distance who was paying attention to the subject.

KAARU: (Thought) I wonder if it was really true of what Hiro said.

                             (There was a flashback)

(Kaaru and Hiro were having a conversation)

HIRO: Fifty years ago, before Tokyo was safe. A meteor suddenly crash in the city. So later it was believe to make some people have elemental powers which was difficult to manipulate at that time. Years pasted as some were born with it as a result of heredity.

KAARU: But I don't see anything gotten as a heredity from my parents.

HIRO: You wouldn't know. Some keep it as a secret.

KAARU: (Astonished) Secret... But you said it was difficult to manipulate at that time.

HIRO: Only if you practice it. It's because some don't know how to manipulate it. The power will be using them as a means to create their own manipulation to the user.

KAARU: You mean I'll soon be become like that.

HIRO: Been manipulated happens after a week. So yes, you will become like that.

KAARU: Oh what a crazy thing.

HIRO: Well because of that, some intended to do harms to people. That is why non-manipulators are against us.

KAARU: About the meteor, do you know where it came from?

HIRO: No. Nobody knows. Not even our professors and scientists today.

                                    (End of flashback)

(Suddenly a boy came late to class while the girls were surprised. He is tall, thin man with a short blue hair. He has a rectangular blue eyes in his pupil with remarkable pointed shape of his jaw and wears a glasses with rectangular lenses. He is always seen with a dull face. The seventeen years old boy is always loved by the girls anywhere he goes in school. His name is Eito Satoshi.)

1st GIRL: (surprised) Eito! (They were all feeling romantic as all eyes from the girls faces him while the boys didn't care)

1st BOY: (Talks to the other boy) Crap he is stealing our handsomeness. (Touches his faces as he thinks he's handsome)

2nd BOY: Yeah. Even he even manipulated my girlfriend.

1st BOY: Hey don't ever say that word again. Manipulators are never trusted.

(Kaaru hears it as he was surprised)

2nd BOY: I didn't say anything concerning that.

KAARU: (Sighed)

TEACHER KENJI: Eito why are you late for class?

EITO: I was studying in the library.

(To the class amazement especially the girls, they were surprised to hear Eito's voice for the first time)

1st GIRL: Oh my gosh, It's this his first time talking.

KAARU: (Thought) What? First time.

2nd GIRL: Yeah. I thought he was dumb.

3rd GIRL: Not only his face is handsome but a sweet voice also.

TEACHER KENJI: Studying. Why would you be studying when you have class?

EITO: I don't just like coming to class.

(The students and the teacher were surprised)

TEACHER KENJI: You don't feel like.

EITO: Yes. I only came to take back my chemistry textbook from Ryo.

RYO: (Surprised and started to blush) Oh yes (Begins to thought) I didn't even read at all, I was actually perceiving the scent of the textbook.

                       (Flashbacks)

RYO: "What type of perfume does he use? It's so natural" (She said as she smells the textbook and fell in love with it)

             (End of flashbacks)

(Some of the girls looked at her with narrowed eyes)

1st GIRL: You borrowed Eito's chemistry textbook?

2nd GIRL: Don't try to steal my future husband.

3rd GIRL: What are you talking about? He is also my future husband and I have already planned the names I will give to my children.

(A boy reacted to what his girlfriend, the third girl said)

1st BOY: (Got up from his seat) Watanabe how could you?!

TEACHER KENJI: Class keep quiet (Looks at Eito) You think you can skip class during this second period.

EITO: Well I just finished studying mathematics.

(The teacher was surprised to see the maths textbook)

TEACHER KENJI: You just finished that, huh?

EITO: (Glanced at him and nods his head)

TEACHER KENJI: Okay then. I'll give a question on the board to see if you really finished that book. Are you ready?

EITO: I'm always ready.

(Teacher Kenji wrote a question on the board concerning the topic he taught in class. "Solve x²+8x+7=0 by factorisation method")

TEACHER KENJI: Here you go. (Gives him the chalk) Now let's see if this four eyes can solve it.

(Not least than ten seconds he was done)

EITO: I'm done.

(He was surprised and looks at his answers giving him "x=–1, –7". He was shocked to see that it was correct)

TEACHER KENJI: What how come?

(The students were amazed and the teacher became angry and gives him another one different from the topic) 3x+y=7

xy=2

[Eito solve it and he was done giving him the answer (2,1) and (⅓,6)]

(He was also surprised and gave him his last question)

TEACHER KENJI: Now this is my last question. Let's see if you can solve this one.

He gave him the question: 4x–y=5

                                                          5y+2=16x

EITO: It's this a simultaneous equations?

TEACHER KENJI: Yes. Any problem?

EITO: Yes... You are problem teacher Kenji.

(The class were surprised at what Eito said same with the teacher)

TEACHER KENJI: Eh

EITO: Didn't you noticed the question and you think you can fool me. Observe this place, what is missing? (Then points "5y+2x=16")

(The teacher looks at it and was surprised that he didn't fall into his trick)

EITO: In simultaneous equations, the two unknown x and y are exchanged not like the one you wrote on the first line and there is no question that the x will be after the equals to. That makes a big difference. For simple common thinking, the question is wrong.

(He wrote the correct one on the board:

           4x–y=5

            5x+2y=16

a

nd started to solve it, to their amazement the class were astonished and he was done given his answer: x=2, y=3)

TEACHER KENJI: Impossible.

EITO: I guess I'm done for today (went to see Ryo for his textbook)

RYO: Er... Thank you for—

(Eito took the book and left, not allowing her to continue her talking)

EITO: It's been a nice day teacher Kenji. (Shuts the door and left)

KAARU: (Thought) Woah, Tomoyuki really got some badass.

(Suddenly, the bell rang for break. Later at the cafeteria, Kaaru ordered his food close to it was a juice which was placed on a tray he was carrying. Dyna and his boys looks at him)

SPIKE: Hey boss there's Kaaru.

DYNA: Forget, I'm not going after him again.

(Spike and Ken were surprised)

KEN: What.

DYNA: I'm done with him. He should take some break.

SPIKE: Come on you can't give up like that.

KEN: Yeah just because he kicked your butt, doesn't mean you are done with him.

DYNA: Shut up How can an ordinary kid punch me on the face? No one has ever done that. Beside I could confess the kid is strong and I'm gonna beat him one day.

SPIKE: Yeah but never thought he will be strong one day compared to his first day.

KEN: These are kids who are silent on the outside but killers on the inside.

DYNA: (Looks round) Hey, have you guys seen Yuuto.

SPIKE: No boss.

KEN: Something is fishy about that Yuuto. He disappear anytime we engaged ourselves in a meeting.

DYNA: Yeah.

SPIKE: (Looks at Kaaru talking to Hiro) Just look at him, he think he's cool when he's not.

DYNA: (Sighed)

(To Kaaru and Hiro)

KAARU: Have you seen Eito?

HIRO: No. Why are you looking for him?

KAARU: It's nothing. Just wanted to know.

HIRO: Don't tell me you are jealous about him.

KAARU: What no I'm not. What made you to say that?

HIRO: Some guys in this school are obviously jealous about him. But all he can do it's to mind his business without saying a word to them. Some plans to beat him up but he beats them unexpectedly.

KAARU: Well he's kind of an amazing guy.

HIRO: Yeah I know. It's not my first time. That's what they always say.

(Later, Kaaru walks home after school closed and he saw Eito walking and reading a book)

KAARU: Shit, I found him. (Calls him) Hey Eito! (Runs to him meet him)

EITO: Do we know each others?

KAARU: Yes... Um... I mean no. We are actually classmates but you don't attend class.

EITO: Yeah I do know you.

KAARU: You do?

EITO: Yeah... You are the new guy who always get bullied by Dynamight.

KAARU: Oh I thought you will said something so cool about me. (Saw the book he was reading) What book are you reading?

EITO: Oh... It's called the power of time.

KAARU: The power of time?

EITO: Yeah. Things you need to know about time and how to work on it.

KAARU: Okay.

EITO: So why do you want to see me?

KAARU: Er... It's er... I wanted to improve myself by getting high scores just like you.

EITO: High scores... But you always get high scores in test.

KAARU: Well not like that I only get B parallel and sometimes seventy or eighty in exams.

EITO: So. It's that all?

KAARU: No. I saw the way you blast your intelligent on teacher Kenji. I'm not good at maths so I want you to teach me.

EITO: Hmm that one will be difficult. I've never taught someone a subject before.

KAARU: You just have to try.

EITO: Alright. Tomorrow will be okay.

KAARU: Great. Perfect.

EITO: Before you go, may I ask you question?

KAARU: Sure. What's it?

EITO: Do you read book about karate or watch movies about it.

KAARU: None of them. Why did you asked?

EITO: The way you took down Dynamight really surprised me.

KAARU: Wait... You were there? That was something so cool I was waiting for you to say.

EITO: Now may I asked you another question.

KAARU: (was surprised to still hear another question from him to ask) Okay...

EITO: Are you a Manipulator?

KAARU: (Shocked) Manipulator.

EITO: Don't worry, it's just a question. Maybe you're are not. See you tomorrow. (Passed by Kaaru)

KAARU: What if I was? (As he stopped him)

EITO: (Turns back) Nothing. I wouldn't bother myself seeing people as one.

KAARU: Well I'm a Manipulator. I got it from a car accident but I don't know how.

EITO: You didn't have it through that. It's from someone. But you wouldn't know.

(Kaaru was astonished as he remember what Hiro said to him, "You wouldn't know. Some keep it as a secret")

KAARU: It's that so. I told you my secret so... I don't know what you will do but it's better to call the police if you want to.

(Eito looked at him with a serious face and Kaaru couldn't look back at him anymore)

EITO:(and he bursted into laughter and said) Don't be ridiculous. I will not call the police.

KAARU: (Confused) You wouldn't.

EITO: Yes because I'm also a manipulator (Suddenly, he stretched out his hand as light begins to shine bright while Kaaru was astonished)

KAARU: Where are you taking me?

EITO: I want to show you something.

(And then they disappeared. They went back in time to the past. It took them fifty years ago where most of the houses were completely destroyed at that time)

KAARU: What is this place?

EITO: Tokyo... back then.

KAARU: So why are we here?

EITO: That

(He points at the sky to show him a meteor which was seen falling from the sky. Kaaru eyes couldn't believe what he is seeing as it crashed on the surface of the earth)

KAARU: It's that the...

EITO: Meteor. Yes, that is how it all came about. (Kaaru saw a man looking at his hands while his body started to glow) No one knew the origin where it came from. Some believe it's God sending as a sign.

KAARU: Sign... Like what?

EITO: I don't know. More like Armageddon.

KAARU: (Shocked) For real the world is coming to an end so quickly!

EITO: Ha Ha Ha, just kidding. Not all noticed the power, some have it as an accident.

KAARU: (Surprised) Very true.

EITO: Look at this (He took him to when they started using the powers to harm others)

(Kaaru looks at a man trying to kill a lady as he uses his fire power to form an object into knife)

KAARU: No wait (As he tries to call their attention)

EITO: There is nothing you can do. They can't see us.

(The lady scream in fear and he killed her. Kaaru was shocked as he saw blood, he couldn't look at the man stabbing her multiple times)

KAARU: No

EITO: it's okay. Some wear costumes and masks so that people wouldn't observe them. Some find it as a easy way to steal money from the bank, Hurt people in other to have power. Kaaru, you may find Tokyo safe but it's not. The world we are living is a cruel and wicked one. (He took him to Tokyo laboratory)

KAARU: What is this?

EITO: The Tokyo Laboratory. Scientists decided to make some quick analysis about these powers. They call it mania and they believe it to be known as the elements consisting of the four main sources and the rest of them.

KAARU: So you are trying to say that man discovered these powers?

EITO: Yes (He took him back to the present)

KAARU: I didn't believe it when I read so many books and newspapers about them.

EITO: Same with me.

KAARU: Do you know what is going to happened to us. Can you take us to the future?

EITO: I'm sorry but you can't just jump into conclusion (He left and Kaaru glanced at him leaving in surprise)
