The 5th floor of the Trunk had one building which was taller than all the others. It was known as the Overseer (probable reference to Fallout 4) . It looked like a twisting churning cyclone, with ridges around it that swirled with a unique flow-like design that the architect felt would give the building a liquid look. And with the blue and gleaming glass that made up most of it's outside, and the slightly transparent edges, the architect had succeeded.
The building literally looked like a cyclone made of pure ice. In fact, those who first saw it, didn't even know it was a building, and thought that instead it might just be some strange giant ice sculpture, or a whirlpool frozen in time.
At the top of the building, dwelled the Headmaster. In reality, the 5th Floor was one giant school divided into two groups. Heroes and Career. Career was where those who weren't rebirthed into heroes but were of the upper class, attended school.
There was no dividing locations really, various areas for classes and eating, as well as the dorms, were all scattered around the entire 4 mile area. So this entire school district of Varus city was overseen by the school's Headmaster.
A headmaster who had never before been seen often.
In fact.. it should be noted that the Headmaster wore a mask. As if that weren't mysterious enough, his voice was electronically disguised at all times.
To those who knew him, he merely went by the name White Mask.
His mask was slightly skull-like in appearance with teeth designs, however, it also bore a more technological flair. He wore white gloves, and a fancy black coat one might expect from one going to an opera. In fact, he looked like he could play the Phantom of The Opera if he wanted.
All in all, he looked like one of those cool dark heroes who was big on theatrics. Which he was.
He stood in his large office, looking through the one way glass walls down at the city. He then spoke. "Manaka Jousuke, you don't have to hide.."
A woman walked in, who looked like she was in her mid 30s. She was beautiful right to the core, her long white hair flowed as she walked in her secretary's outfit. The hair was familiar in fact, despite the fact it was much longer than Narina's medium length hair. Her purple eyes were the same as well.
This was Narin's grandmother, who tended to only visit on weekends, though, she always dyed her hair black before visiting for her own reasons.
As for why she looked as if she was 30, well, the Elderly were very rare these days. Starting in the 21st century, revolutionary medical technology allowed 200 to become the 37. All in all, age was slowed to an extreme, and the average human lifespan was now around 500 to 570 years. As a result, many of the humans who were born in year 2087 were still alive.
However, elderly people, namely those who couldn't afford revolutionary childhood medical care when they were young, still existed in retirement homes. These 100 to 80 year olds who bore all the wrinkles and whatnot were born in the Grub Village, the crime infested part of the Roots.
