One of a kind

[ Kazuki Akira ]

"A third power? This is never heard of" Principal told Anzai as i was seated in between them. "It's a first" Anzai said. I sat there staring at my hands. "We need to research this" Principal said. I looked up scared.

"No" Anzai said. "I forbid that" Anzai said. "But" The principal started but Anzai rose his hands and stopped him. "As her parent i refuse and forbid it" Anzai said as i stood up. "Let's go home" He told me. The sun was setting.

I looked at the time on my cell phone and it showed 17:45 PM. I shied. "Is that Hikaru kid troubling you?" Anzai asked. I looked at him surprised. "Oh it's nothing that i can't handle. I'll be fine" I told him. "But if he is giving any more trouble do tell me. I will have a word with him than" He said.

I smiled. So this is what it feels like to have a dad figure. "Yeah" I said with a giggle. "I'm serious" Anzai added making me laugh. Anzai smiled.

"Akira." He said and i looked up at him. "You do know that you are one of a kind in this world now" Anzai said. "Yeah" i said staring at my feet. "I can't have you lose your temper like earlier today. All of the trainers know that you are my apprentice. You do know that i'm all about being humble" Anzai said. "Yeah. Sorry" I said scratching the back of my neck.

"It's fine. This happens." Anzai said touching my head. "Why did you agree to help me in the first place" I asked him. "Akira. You might not remember me. But i was your father's partner. I lost my family the same day you lost your father. But i made a promise to him that i would look after you guys. Your uncle. Isn't your blood relative. He is a guard your dad set to protect you and your mom. The day your dad went missing. He knew he wouldn't come back. So he benched me and made me take a vow to watch after you guys. But after he went missing i couldn't face you guys as it was my mission to fight alongside him. But that day at the river. The moment i saw you. I saw your father staring back at me. And i knew that. My mission wasn't over just yet." Anzai explained.

I hid my face as a tear rolled down my face. "I see" I told him. "Hey" Anzai said stopping. I wiped my face as i looked up at him. "I'll raise you. And make you stronger" He said. "Thank you" I told him with a smile.

Next day in school me and Hikaru didn't even make eye contact. The lunch bell rang and the teacher exited the class. "Kazuki-Chan. Want to grab lunch with me?" Kai asked. "Yeah sure" I said smiling. Hikaru starred as me and Kai walked out of the class and towards the lunch room. "It's so cool that you are a legend now. 3 powers? That's awesome!" Kai said as we walked into the mess hall in the Yellow block.

I laughed weakly as we joined the food line. "Oh my god!!!" a familiar female voice cried. We both turned to see Kei beaming behind us. "Oh. It's you" Kai said. "Kei? You made it? Wow good job" I told her and she blushed.

"It's all thanks to you guys" She said with a giggle. "Wait Kazuki-San. I heard you unlocked another power!" Kei said. "Yeah. Fire this time" I told her.

"That is so cool! So is there any further chance of unlocking other magic types?" Kei asked squeezing in between me and Kai. He gave a look at Kei but she didn't bother. "I guess" I said.

"Do you know when you are unlocking it or does it just happen?" Kei asked as i took a tray to put my food on. "It happens out of nowhere" I told her as i scanned my coupen and proceeded to the next station.

"This has never been recorded in history. Omg you are going to be in magic textbooks now" Kei said excitedly as i picked a juice bottle and a water bottle. "I am?" I asked as the cafeteria lady put my food on the trey I was holding.

"You are making history Kazuki-San!" Kei said as she followed with her trey. I stood near the line exit. Kei jogged over with her trey and Kai followed with an annoyed look.

"It's Akira" I said looking around for an empty table. "Huh?" Kei and Kai asked. "You both can call me Akira" I said looking at them with the corner of my eyes and than walking off towards an empty seat near the window. "Ok Akira-San!" Kei said following. "Don't you have Omega friends to hang out with?" Kai asked sharply at Kei as i sat down. "Nope. They treat me like i shouldn't belong there. Since i did nothing in the team entrance mission" Kei said putting down her trey next to me and shying.

I looked at her. Kai sat on my other side. "Well an Omega's main job is to heal. They can't go in and get injured" I told her as i looked at my food. They both look at me.

"Guardians do the dirty work. Rangers protect. And Omega's heal. It's how it works" I added opening the lid of the rice. "But i was useless" Kei said in a tiny voice. "Kei" I said opening my chopsticks. She looked at me.

"We are here to improve. This is a place to learn. So now sit down and eat. Let them say what they want to say" I said popping a piece of beef into my mouth. She smiled and sat down. "Kazuki-San... I mean Akira-San. You really are one of a kind" Kei said.

"One of a kind huh?" I asked and looked out of the window. I noticed Hikaru standing on the compound below staring at me. I narrowed my eyes at him.
