John's POV


There I was... on the front page of the news paper with my ability active, covered with a little bit of blood in the middle of the streets titled 'Wellston Student Injured?'. And it's not the measly Wellston's press newspaper... It's an official local newspaper


"Tch..." Someone just HAD to take a picture of me. So that's why some students acted weird whenever I'm near them this morning...


"The School's reputation will have to take some serious damages from this incident...Students of Wellston rarely gets injured outside the school environment. Not to mention that authorities already does have a close eye on you as we speak. John... Please explain what happened..." Vaughn stated


*sigh* "Two days ago... I got ambushed. And the attackers were the same guys that ambushed my home from months ago. Except that there were more this time around. But I managed to escape"


"And what about you... Now that your identity has been revealed? You were persistent on hiding and casting away your past. What will you do now?" Vaughn asked


When I first came here... All I wanted was to be ordinary. Getting along with someone without abusing my powers. Now all that doesn't matter anymore. All people are trash anyways. The only thing that was keeping me from revealing my true identity was Sera... But now that she knows, I'm actually kinda relieved that it's been revealed. Can't say the same about the authorities though


"It doesn't matter... I don't have anymore reasons to hide it now anyway. If you'll excuse me, I'll better get going to my class"


School Hallways


While I was on my way to class I noticed two students in the same hallway. It was the guy with the stone skin ability that I threw out the window ages ago... And he's now with a friend


*sigh* are these two really skipping class when they're weak as fuck? What's wrong with people...


As I got closer and closer I realised they were whispering


"B-Bro... Do you think he's actually the J-Joker?"

"There's no way... He was even injured on the paper. In fact let me prove it to you now!"

"W-Wait! what if he's actually Jo-"


His friend didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. The grey-haired launched to me with his stone skin activated... I activated my ability before his fists reached my face


I just stood still, with HIS stone skin... Taking the punch to the face unflinched, staring cold at him dead in the eyes with my eyes glowing gold


"Holy shit! H-He just copied your ability!"
