John's P.O.V.

I am currently with Sera who's laughing right now, drinking Boba tea in woaba boba.

"I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!" I exclaimed as Sera continues to laugh.

"You always say that," she smiles as she lifts her drink up. "Yet here you are again... still in one piece." she boasts as she takes a drink.

"Your missing the point." I said

"Come on, it's gotta be at least a little exciting! Living on the edge seems so fun!" she says taking her drink out of her mouth.

All i did was look at her with a slight frown before looking down at my boba drink on the table. "Not at all... I really want a moment of peace." I said before continuing. " right now, every little conflict turns into a full on brawl. I can't do anything without fearing for my life! Even Anax can't go by his day without being dragged into some free for all!" I exclaimed.

Looking at Sera I continued once more. "Why does this world have to be so violent? what's wrong with talking things over with one another?" I finished as i was about to space out until Sera spoke again.

"Because it's a waste of time. There's no need to argue with a weakling to prove a point..." She stated to me but i countered saying. "Because you can just overpower them? The stronger person isn't always right you know! To have to use force to backup your claim... it's so pathetic!"

"What are you implying?" she said as i realized what i was saying.

"Ah... I didn't mean you, just high-tiers in general..." i tried saying but Sera turned her head and glanced at me before ignoring me as i sighed.

'Sera was born strong. So she doesn't understand what people lie me go through every day...' I thought.

The news then seemed interesting as we all learned about the superhero X-Statics death. People were giving their own comments while i watched the news warily when Seraphina suddenly hummed. " and yet another self-proclaimed "Superhero" falls victim to the consequences of everyday society... people need to learn to mind their own business especially if they don't have the strength to back it up,"

"But he was trying to keep us safe...." i whispered.

Sera looked at me before taking another sip at her drink and said. "Do you feel safer... now that he's dead."

I looked at her wincing a bit as we drinked in silence.

I ended up recalling something similar to what she said.

Few weeks ago:

"HEY CRIPPLE! LOOK AT ME WH-garkch...!" The student that was about to punch me suddenly choked and fell to the ground like a puppet with his strings cut.

"Sheesh this place needs a hero if there are jerks like him around." a white haired boy sang as he lent me his arm.

"So mister. I-pretend-to-be-a-cripple! Do you-!" I cut him off as i jumped from the ground and pinned him to the wall as i grab his neck.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND HOW THE F*CK DID YOU FIND ME OUT!" i growled as i tried to apply pressure to his neck.

"Easy there," he tried to say. "Is this the thanks i get for helping a guy who tries to deceive every single student here?"

I felt more angry as he blatantly ignores the situation he's in. "who are you, and how did you find me out..." i said more slowly as I balled my fist up.

"My name is Anax A. Lexicon and the reason i saw through your disguise and found your secret is..." suddenly the halls felt chillier as i saw my own breath and witnessed his expression changed almost instantly into a cruel smile as his hair mysteriously changed to Black along with aura which suddenly became twisted, dark and empty. "...because I despise deceivers...!" I let go of him out of shock considering the amount of emotions he put into that last word.

"Is that why you came to me?" I said taking a defensive stance. "To reveal my secret in front of everyone!"

"Nah~," he lazily said. "I want you to be my bi-gah!"

Suddenly, the aura around him changed and his hair turned back to white as he looked at me pating a bit. "Sorry about! I lose control sometimes when I get angry, its.... Something... though I can assure my reason to approach you is entirely different!" Anax said waving his hands around.

I dropped my guard a little but still remained ready to punch his lights out if he doesn't give a good reason. "I want you to be my friend!" he exclaimed as I mysteriously lost my balance.

"What WHY!?" i yelled out.

"Cause I prefer having friends away from the top... that and i have a question since i know you read 'that' book." He gestured as he lifted me up on my feet. "Though i prefer you to act like your real self when we talk Friend." he said seriously while turning his back at me. He seems to have had eyes in the back of his head when he fist pumped after i nodded to his terms.

"What's your question?" I asked warily as I... speak to my new friend.

"Does this world have a need for heroes and vigilantes who fight for good and unity. Or does it have a need for martyrs and the corrupt who oppress and abuse the weak..." he ominously said losing his smile.

Present:

'Why did I recall that memory?' I frowned as I went home for the night and sleep. I had dreams of the day I enrolled into Wellston.

Anax's P.O.V.

"EMBER has been leaving a trail of bodies. The most recent one being in Lovun. In an alley, near the intersection of Rokel and Acres Street." the recording said as I finished some work. "Investigators have identified the body as the well known vigilante, "X-Static". No further personal information was given. The victim's body was covered in second degree burns and multiple stab wounds. And like all other EMBER victims, a very prominent brand of its logo marked the corpse. In-" I paused the recording as I sighed, turning the news off as I opened my phone to try and call Remi only to stop myself from pressing her name and immediately chuck my phone into the wall as I leaned back on my chair and drag a hand down my face.

"How did you die Rei," i then straighten the chair to stare at a paper with a symbol on it. "What are you planning." I questioned to the symbol before turning my lamp off and went to sleep.
