The Mysterious Students

Chapter #12 Chipper?

The teachers didn't expect the students to be so patient now that Mrs. Vesper revealed what she could do. Right as they walked through their classroom doors, the four immediately asked if they could finally hear or see what the two teachers can do.

They suspected the kids would just keep on asking and not focus on anything else until they gave in. So they did.

As the adults talked the students went silent and put all of their attention to them.

They explained that, Mrs. Clemonte's Guardian is Essex Kaldor. She able to heal herself and others around her. Mrs. Melantha's Guardian, Malick Goldenthorn, can summon force fields to protect herself and others.

It was like the teachers were entertainers for a 4 year old kids birthday party, when they were showing off their abilities.

Mrs. Clemonte used a paper clip to cut her pointer finger. Not even a second passed before the hole healed, only leaving the left over blood that leaked out.

Although, Mrs. Melantha's demonstration wasn't as calm than the healing trick. First, she put her two hands in a fist tightly closed, and after a moment of concentration, two light blue transparent circles appeared, letting her release her hands from fists. As she moved them, the fields turned into the same direction. If she pointed to forward, the field would go outward, if she used the gesture for a being to come, the field would come inward.

What made the display so different, was the fact that the students were able to test out how strong these force fields were. At first, the kids were throwing pencils, pens, notebooks, even a full on textbook. Luckily, that wasn't damaged or new. However, the group had to convince George that throwing a full on wooden desk wouldn't do anything to the blue fields. Weirdly, he had a lot of enthusiasm to throw it.

Before the class ended, the students learned that the two teachers are to teach them important skills and historical facts about the magical side of the universe. It is to keep the kids aware of what could happen in the future. Unfortunately, the lessons couldn't start with all the fun they had.

When the students were packing up, Lily did ask when the special ed language arts teacher, Mrs. Brightly would tell them about her ability? The four don't have her in one class like they do for Social Studies and Math.

Mrs. Clemonte happily mentioned that Mrs. Brightly had been wanting to talk to the kids about her own magic side. They can come over to her room after the school day so she could show them.

What seemed off about Mrs. Brightly's excitement was, how different it was compared to the other three teachers. It was like she wasn't excited to see what the students could do against this evil force, but the fact that there are more Guardians amongst the teachers.

Out of all of the instructors, Mrs. Brightly was the most chipper and enthusiastic. Ironically, it fit her name. She didn't show much seriousness or authority compared to the others. That was probably why more students were open and honest with her.

She gave off warmth and comfort to the them after having one conversation with her. However, that wasn't her Guardian ability.

Her ability lets her pull pictures to life. No matter where they come from, a painting, colored pencils, or an image off the internet, and any image.

The four wanted her to show off the ability, so they suggested many pictures from different sources. Weirdly, some of them were wide and tall structures. Vincent was one of the few to ask if Mrs. Brightly could pull the Eiffel Tower from a tourist page.

She then explained that couldn't bring any buildings to the classroom, it would destroy that whole building, along with half the school.

Rayne did think of one point following up on Vincent's offer. She asked if Mrs. Brightly were to summon something that was made to stay in one spot, would it move from said spot it once stood?

"Good question, Rayne." Mrs. Brightly praised. "To be honest, no. It wouldn't move. My ability duplicates what the image is and brings it to reality."

"Well, that sums it up." George mumbled, annoyed at how confusing the explanation was for him to imagine.

"I think a demonstration would help you all properly understand." Mrs. Brightly knew that any student would feel embarrassed from making the teacher put an example for only them to learn. She would.

The students watched as she brought up a image of a random street in London! The kids wondered why she would pick that place out practically anywhere else? All she said is, "Why not?" with a devilish smirk.

Mrs. Brightly rested her hand flat on the iPad screen with her eyes closed. After taking a few deep breaths, she slowly moved her hand up, holding what it looked to be a black head of a light post. Luckily, the post wasn't too long to fit in the classroom. Actually, it did sat laying down, with a few desks having to be moved around.

She turned the IPad screen to her audience, revealing that the pole was still standing on the sidewalk.

"So, what do you think?" The impressed silence from the kids ended up being her answer.

Only after a minute Vincent broke it by asking George, "Did this help?" Nobody knew if what Vincent asked was serious or a joke.

"Yup." He replied, still with his mouth open from his jaw dropping.

Mrs. Brightly then explained what her part of being a instructor is. She provides comfort and guidance for the students mental health. She added that it is highly unusual that The Guardians would choose to possess beings under 21, especially if they are not even adults.

The tasks that the students are going to have to do could do some serious damage to their young minds. They are going to need help from both Mrs. Brightly and the other instructors to deal with the aftermath.

It got the students thinking. What are they going to have to do in the future, that results in needing some weird therapist? Did the instructors themselves experience what they think the students are going to have to deal with?

When the kids had no idea about The Guardians and the instructors, they just saw it as something fun. Cut to now, it sounds way more serious possibly even deadly.
