Mystic Academy

Prologue & Chapter 1

Prologue

Espers, A group of individuals that can harness unexplainable and destructive powers at the cost of their own pain.

A Boy is sleeping in his classroom, his head laying on the desk with his arms covering his face. They slept undisturbed as the teacher turned their head over at them, slightly annoyed by their lack of participation.

"Kimura!"

"Huh! What...?" The boy snapped up awake at the sound of his name.

"Do you know the equation for this?"

"Huh...? Let me see..." He rubbed his right eye.

Kimura rubbed it to clear up the gunk that could possibly be on his eye, looking at the touch-screen board. On the board is a pre-calculus math equation, Kimura took a second as he stared at it intently.

"It's x=4."

"That's...Right."

The Teacher was surprised yet unsurprised at the same time, going back to teaching math to the class. Everyone there seemed to be taking class seriously while Kimura was just taking notes casually.

Supposedly there was a fight today...Although I don't hear anything...

He looked out the window as he noticed a group picking on three individuals in the football field within the track field. Kimura raised his hand for the first time in the homeroom, everyone looking over surprised.

"Uh...Yes Kimura...?" Even the teacher was surprised.

"May I go use the restroom Mr. Vallance?"

"Uh...sure Kimura."

"Thanks Mr. Vallance."

Kimura got up from his seat and headed out of his homeroom. The homeroom was quiet from the sudden hand raise from earlier, however they continued shortly after. Kimura walked down the right wing as he heads downstairs, spiraling down and exiting out of the backdoor.

Click! Swoosh!

The door swung open as Kimura ran outside to the track field, going around the bleachers and heading towards the middle of the football field. Laughing and crying could be heard as there was indeed a group there and about three people there.

"C'mon! fight back with that shitty mana of yours!"

A red short haired girl giggled, staring down at a female student on the floor before she kicked them across the face. Blood splattered across the grass as the red-haired girl squatted down, grabbing the other girl's jet-black hair and lifting her head up off the grass.

"I don't want to see your dumb face around me or my friends anymore squealer (slang for "ratting out / telling on someone")."

"G...Go to hell Shoekisser... (slang for "Lapdog")"

"The fuck did you say to me you piece of shit!"

She slammed her face onto the floor as she lifted the girl's head back up, her face pelted with pieces of dirt with some blood drawn from her nose.

"Hey!" Kimura shouted out.

"Huh?" The red-haired girl turned to look where it came from alongside her group of friends.

"Do you have anything else to do besides beating the fuck out of people?"

"Who are you Mr. Nobody? How about you fuck off and quit getting into people's business huh?"

"No can do Shoekisser, can't believe a counter (A Role in a Hierarchy) would be doing someone else's dirty work, seems bad for your public image."
