Chapter 3: With friends like these

Your PoV

Professor Ross: "As you may know the top academic school in the whole country, Traicere University, has recently connected with multiple different schools such as Beacon academy and UA."

Professor Ross: "those house more practical elements including physical combat with weapons or powers. So they will need to wait till you pass the written assessment first"

Prof. Ross: "This used to be done before the start of the school but due to recent scheduling arrangements, this has changed to take place next week"

One student raises their hand and asks

Student: "will both exams be on separate days or one after another"

Prof. Ross: "both will be merged into one, since they both are fundamentally the same idea. One is fighting villains and the other is against monsters, it will ask what to do in certain situations so just specify the course you are applying for at the beginning with your name"

Student: "oh ok I see. Are the physical tests merged too?"

Prof. Ross: "no. The only case of that happening is if enough people choose multiple courses but we only have a few of that this year"

A few murmurs around the room can be heard at the idea of taking on multiple courses. After all that would be the equivalent to attending multiple schools at once

Prof. Ross: "alright, alright settle down. We now need to go over everything you should know by now, by doing a mock test."
The class groans in frustration.

Prof. Ross: "Yeah yeah, mandated tests are boring, but this one is simple enough, just the basics"

Lunch hour

A small group of people in my classes are sitting around a table having their lunches.

Boy: "hey! (Y/n), right?"

"Uhh.. yea, what's up?"

Boy: "wanna sit with us?"

Serena: "Blueee.. what are you doing..?"

Blue: "well someone has to call your friend over and if you aren't gonna be brave enough too, I may as well"

"Hi Serena, nice to meet you all"

Girl: "hey, you really are quite good looking"

"H-huh?"

Girl: "(giggle) sorry, my name is Dawn, nice to meet ya, this here is my partner Piplup"

Her Pokémon says it's name and waves, presumably saying 'hi'

"You doing the Pokemon course huh? Maybe we could be in the same class"

Blue: "we all are"

The other two girls and the two guys confirm this, one guy with a Pikachu by flashing a toothy grin and giving a thumbs up while the other nods looking disinterested

Blue: "so these guys are Leaf, Red, Ash and Lillie"
Each gives a small wave as their name is called

Girl: "don't forget me, (to me) Hi, I'm Mallow"
A green haired tanned girl says sitting between Lillie and Red

"Names (y/n), pleasure to meet ya"

Blue: "so what Pokémon do you have?"

"I got a Pikachu, Eevee and a Lucario, what about you guys"

Blue: "I got myself a Squirtle"
He answered proudly

Dawn: "I have a Piplup"

Serena: "Fennekin is my partner"

Everyone around the table listed their Pokemon and the ones they hope to someday catch before the bell rang for the next and final class of the day

Climbing up a fire escape I make it to the roof of a random apartment building wearing my super suit. Looking back to the limited view of the street from the alley way.

I let out an audible gulp sound as I swallow my anxiety

Wild: "are we really doing this?"

Respawn: "I've done it tonnes, it's not that bad once you get used to it"

"Yeah.. leaping off a rooftop is so much easier when you have experience jumping to your death"

Respawn: "hup up up- it's web-slinging. Not jumping to our death"

"Then you do it!"

Respawn: "we are your variants, you can't be all of us at once so you will need to learn all our individual tricks so you won't have to"

"Can't we go from, somewhere safer?"

Respawn: "nope"
They say with a rather cheery tone contrasting my fears

Looking over the ledge, I can feel my legs shake as my vision seems to stretch the distance making it seem like a higher fall

"Just so I know.. you'd catch me right?"

Respawn: "obviously, look, just aim with your wrist, thwip and hang on tight"

"Got it.. (deep breaths) still doesn't make it easy"
I say turning away

Respawn takes control of my body to take a single step over the ledge so my foot is hovering over a 6 story drop before giving me back the 'reigns'

In a panic I try to step back only to lose balance and fall off. My body tenses as my mind goes crazy thinking of what to do, images flash as I see my life play out.

Thwip

———

Wooosh

I open my eyes to see that I made my first swing

"I did it!!"
I cheer before hitting the billboard on the adjacent building
"uuugh.. I screwed it.."

Respawn: "not bad though"

???: "was that your first attempt or something?"

"Yep"
My face still buried in the sign.

A weird chill goes up my spine as a feeling I can only describe as pins and needles.. or like when you unclog all your senses at once, happens so I look up to see what the mystery person did to me. He seems to be taken aback by possibly the same thing happening to him

A man in a red and blue suit with a spider web pattern is just clinging to the wall. This is Spider-Man, or at least some Spider-Man

Spider-Man: "don't worry too much about the actual swing, worry more about landing.. or not landing early"

"Thanks for the tip.. you've got, what? 2 years of experience"

Spider-Man: "around that, but seriously, try loosening your joints, it helps make the movement less rigid. Helps when you want to swing from multiple webs"

He swings off, webs connecting to a building on the left, then the right, then he swings round a corner going left

I push off the wall, taking his advice to swing from one rope, to the next. Before I knew it, I had rounded the corner and am headed in the same direction he was.

Unfortunately I can't thank him for his help since I lost track of where he went. But knowing someday I can return the favour.

Looking back to the streets below, I spot a group of friends laughing among themselves.. that.. that is what I must protect. The innocent people. The very people that need a little help, a touch of joy, spark of hope or even just someone to talk to.

My hope is to be more than just a masked vigilante. My hope is to be a friend to those who need me.
