New Kind of Hero

{1}

I looked at my mom at the train station. She had small wrinkles now, and slightly graying hair. She smiled widely and held my shoulders, as she looked up at me. I had grown so much taller now then ten years ago. My dark hair had grown out a bit as well, so I combed it over and still kept my thick, black glasses. My mother wrapped a large, dark scarf around my neck a few times. 

"Look at my son, all grown up, and going away to the best academy around." I smiled, showing her my dimples and nodded my head. It was nice to get some praise from the woman. I looked down at my watch and sighed. 

"Alright Momma. It's time. I'm gonna miss you so much. I love you!" I sniffled, and gave her a large hug, then turned to leave her behind for a very long time. Where I was going was meant for a student to stay there most of their lives. The teachers there trained you 24/7 until they think your ready. For most it takes more than five years, others less than three. It all honestly all varies from person to person. 

Only the best of the best end up graduating the fastest, and I considered myself pretty low on that standard. I waved to my mother as I soon saw her disappear behind the crowd of unfamiliar people.  I took a deep breath and entered the right train. Once my luggage was secure, I made my way to my seat. I ended up sitting by myself in the back of the train. I simply starred out the window drinking some coffee to soothe my thoughts. 

The City was magnificent! Tall buildings rose to the heavens, bustling citizens filled the streets, and not to far in the distance was Big Hit University. The campus was huge! To me it seemed like something from a comic book. I quickly grabbed my suitcase and stumbled out of the train, and up the pathways to the campus. I gasped at its glory. It was honestly too good to be true! I quickly pulled out a crumpled piece of paper that had my dorm room, and classes, with a small map at the bottom. 

My dorm was part of section B, so on the other side of the campus. As I eagerly made my way down the glistening halls, I was able to make out a lot of different people, and their powers. Lots of them had physicals mutations, like paws, or tails. Others had marks on their skin, and just this strange aura. One man in particular had red hair, and as he passed me, I felt completely hollow, it was frightening, at first, until that gap within me was filled with hope. Very strange indeed. 

Once I finally made it, I gasped once more at the huge room. This school had way to much to offer. Like seriously, how did my mom afford this? I didn't mind it, but I realized that I was listed as no dorm partner, so honestly this was going to get a bit lonely. After an hour of un-packing, I sat on the couch and read through my schedule for tomorrow. 

First class, history/ group bonding 

Second class, power assessment

Third class, Lunch 

Fourth class, P.E/ Simulation 

My schedule seemed light compared to normal schools from the past. I wasn't complaining or anything, just a little surprised.   It was already 6:00 so I decided to hit the hay early, and take a shower in the morning. The bed was huge too! Comfy blankets were set out, and I took full advantage of them. 

The next morning I was dressed in a black sweater and dark jeans with my glasses. I held a tray of some really nice ass food. This place was honestly to good to me. I knew that something was gonna ruin that, but so far I was in the clear. I found an empty table, and sat down, not really minding the fact that I was all by myself. I quickly finished up when that loud blaring bell set off.

Once I was in the class I found myself already sweating with nervousness. There were a lot of kids, with all sorts of backgrounds. I decided to sit in the front of the class where there wasn't to many people around. I guess they were also nervous. I saw myself looking at one boy in particular. He had light pink hair, and he wore a white turtle neck sweater, and some dark jeans like mine. He also had gloves on, which confused me. It wasn't cold out or anything, so what's with the gloves? 

I didn't have time to introduce myself though, because the teacher had walked in.  Boy did he catch everyone off guard. He was a huge looking man, with scales all over his body, and sharp teeth, with a long ass tail trailing behind him. "Hello class. I'm Mr. Savage. Nice to meet you. Today we will be taking the time to introduce you, but in the future I'll be teaching you younglings about the history of mutants, and heroes." We all stayed silent, still afraid of what he could do to us. 

He chuckled, and sighed moving to his clipboard. "Ok then. You guys are a quiet class. Fine by me. Now when I point at you please rise up and tell the class your name, and an interesting fact about yourself." We all gave a nod, and some gulped even. The first ten minutes went by slowly, as Mr. Savage went down the line. Suddenly the pink haired boy stood up proudly. "Kim Seokjin! I'm 20 years old, and I love the color pink." He sat back down tapping his foot on the floor. Some snickered at him others just didn't care. 

I was the last one to stand up. "Hello my name is Kim Namjoon I'm 18 years old, and my favorite superhero is Anpanman." I blushed heavily as everyone began laughing at me, accept for Jin. Even the teacher was chuckling slightly. Well that is one way to get people to know you I guess. 

Eventually the bell rang and we all stood up. Jin was one of the first to leave, his body disappearing like my mother's had. The next class was pretty much P.E only just a different version. Usually it would be doing sports, and after lunch it was about getting to work out your power. Once changed into shorts, and a Jacket I made my way down to the cement. Jin was there so I made myself go up to him. 

"Hi there! I'm Kim Namjoon. Your Jin correct?" Jin seemed a little caught off guard by my sudden appearance. 

"Oh uhh hello there! Yeah I'm Jin." He smiled cutely making me blush as the teacher found his way to us. Thank god she looked like a normal human. She had blonde hair and brown eyes. She was definitely cute for a teacher. 

"Ok kiddos! Time to see what I get to work with this year." She clapped her hands together and made us form a line in front of a field. "So you guys are gonna give me a little taste of your unique ability. Attack me with full force!" I gulped knowing, that I had nothing that was usefull in a fight. Ever since that incident ten years ago, I wasn't able to get that to happen again. In fact I had no idea what I did exactly. 

I watched as some kids did as they were told. The teacher( who's name was Miss. Shot) had this amazing ability to run really, fast, and have this insane amount of power. Jin and I watched nervously. Some kids tried using their Ice powers, or Telepathy, nothing worked. Until it was Jin's turn. To me Jin looked a little to fragile to go up against Miss Shot. 

" Ok Kim SeokJin! Show me what you got." I watched timidly hoping she wouldn't hurt his beautiful face.  Jin nodded, and sprinted at her with determination on his face. She seemed a little surprised, but nonetheless ready. I now noticed that he left his gloves behind. His sleeves were rolled up, and he suddenly ducked down sliding beneath her, and grabbing her leg pulling her down. 

Everyone gasped as Jin held her to the floor. No one had gotten her even near the ground. She seemed a bit taken a back as well as Jin moved away breathing heavily. The teacher stood up on wobbly legs looking slightly confused. "So this is your ability?   Nice, but I think your gonna have to do more than that." Jin tilted his head as she used her speed to tackle him. I blinked, and suddenly my teacher was on the floor dusting her knees off. Jin had dodged using her own ability. 

I found myself along with others cheering for my hopefully new best friend. "Go Jin! GO!" I yelled out smiling, not noticing the smoke that formed on the other side of the school.
