Love me like this (Supernatural Re-up)

chapter 3: Power Unravelliation

The morning sun illuminated Pretoria High, casting a warm glow over the campus and signaling the start of a new academic day. Leo awoke with a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation. The previous day had been a whirlwind of orientation and introductions, and now it was time for the real start of his academic journey. After a quick breakfast, he made his way to his first class of the term: Introduction to Supernatural Studies.

Navigating the sprawling campus was no small feat, but Leo managed to find his way to the classroom building. He followed the signs to Room 204, where the first class was to be held. As he approached, he noticed that the classroom was already beginning to fill with students. Leo took a deep breath and entered, eager to see what the day would bring.

The room was spacious and well-lit, with rows of desks arranged in a semi-circle facing a large, interactive whiteboard at the front. The walls were adorned with posters depicting various supernatural abilities, and a few students were already engaged in lively discussions.

Leo spotted an empty desk near the front and made his way over, trying to ignore the flutter of nerves in his stomach. He took a seat and began to organize his notes, hoping that today's lessons would offer a clearer picture of what to expect in the coming months.

Just then, the door swung open, and Ma'am Peachy walked in. Her presence commanded immediate attention. She was dressed in a crisp professional outfit, her auburn hair pulled back into a neat bun. Her gaze swept over the students, and a warm, authoritative smile graced her lips.

"Good morning, everyone," Ma'am Peachy said, her voice carrying a blend of warmth and authority. "I'm Professor Peachy, and I'll be your instructor for Introduction to Supernatural Studies. This class will lay the foundation for understanding the diverse range of abilities you'll encounter here at Pretoria High."

The students settled into their seats, their chatter fading as Ma'am Peachy began her presentation. She clicked through a series of slides, each one displaying different types of supernatural powers.

"Let's start with elemental manipulation," Ma'am Peachy said, pointing to a slide that depicted various elements: fire, water, earth, and air. "Elemental manipulation allows users to control and manipulate natural elements. This power is incredibly versatile, useful for both offensive and defensive purposes."

Leo glanced around and noticed Ethan, who was already leaning forward with interest. Ethan had demonstrated his control over fire and air during orientation, and he seemed eager to delve deeper into the subject.

"Next, we have telekinesis," Ma'am Peachy continued. "This ability enables individuals to move objects with their minds. It's a power that can be applied in numerous ways, from lifting heavy items to performing delicate manipulations."

As Ma'am Peachy spoke, Leo couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Telekinesis was his own power, and he had been working diligently to improve his control over it. He hoped to make a good impression during the practical exercises.

"Another fascinating ability is illusion magic," Ma'am Peachy said, changing the slide. "Illusion magic allows users to create false images or alter reality. It's often used for deception, concealment, and creating distractions."

Leo noticed Oliver, a student he had seen around the campus, paying close attention. Oliver had mentioned his proficiency in illusion magic, and he seemed particularly interested in the topic.

"We also have healing abilities," Ma'am Peachy said, her tone respectful. "Healing powers can mend injuries and cure ailments, making them highly valuable in critical situations."

Mia, whom Leo had met during the tour, smiled at the mention of healing. She seemed excited about the opportunity to showcase her skills in class.

"Finally," Ma'am Peachy concluded, "we'll cover a variety of other abilities throughout the course, including telepathy and shadow manipulation. Each of you will have the chance to explore and develop your unique skills during your time here."
