"Niya~ Master! You have a message!" I heard my ringtone rang a few times which made me get my smart phone from the pocket of my jeans.
[2 New Messages From Miguel TheHentaiLord]
I opened the inbox only to be sad about the news that my only friend has brought to me.
[Miguel: Sorry Blue, Can't really go to school today because of these damn stomach cramps. Don't worry though. I'll give you some sauce codes as compensation for informing the others of my condition. Oh. And this is also a part of your therapy to beat social anxiety as I promised ;) ]
[Miguel: Anyways, Good luck with the student council speech. ]
I decided to text him back
[Me: Get well soon. ]
I guess I'm walking alone this time.
I then grabbed my bag, left and locked the door of the house, and headed to school afterward.
...
The stage of the wide and big auditorium was set as people formed in line according to their respective class.
I soon met with the other student council members and showed Miguel's text to them.
"I hope he gets well soon. He's our vice president afterall." Our president said
The small microphone that was placed on the table got switched on and the program finally started when our headmaster greeted the students.
"Good morning everyone!" Our headmaster greeted
The students then greeted back to him loudly.
"Alright. Looks like everyone is lively today." A satisfied smile appeared on our headmaster's clear skin face
Our headmaster is probably the richest guy in the world. He's a man in a suit and tie, haivng well-groomed hair and shiny signature black shoes.
We were standing straight right here beside the rich man himself as he continues to inform the students about today's activity.
"So many people..." I muttered really wanting to get out of this crowded place.
Our headmaster finished his announcements that I didn't even bother to listen to as he now gave us an encore.
"Okay. Future heroes of the country, Meet your friendly neighborhood student council members!" He said and the students clapped their hands
Is that reference really necessary?
Regardless, I have to calm myself and focus so I don't piss my pants when I introduce myself.
The first one to go to hell - I mean introduce herself in front of a big number of people is our well-respected president, Beatrice Valeria.
She always wears the uniform that was provided by the school which is kind of lame as it consists of a tight royal-blue blazer over a white long sleeve polo and a short green skirt. The color scheme just looks awful.
How did I learn things about fashion? Let's just say that I spend a lot of time on making my avatar in video games that I've played so far.
I would wear the uniform for boys if it was all plain and black because -
"Hey! Blue!" Someone called
"W-What?" I snapped back to reality
I looked at the one who called my name as it was no other than our Secretary, Audrey Guinevere.
She's one of my classmates here in Class A and she's probably the most annoying one I've ever met so far. I guess that's the standard short red-headed girls for ya.
"Geez, Blue. We've been told last Friday to wear our school uniform for at least this day," Her wide cherry-red eyes locked directly to me "So why are you wearing jeans and a black T-shirt!?"
I am not wearing that pathetic excuse for a uniform.
But then I noticed, I'm the only guy in the student council that is not wearing the school uniform.
And the fact that this large amount of people will put their attention on me because I differ from the others makes me want to kill myself.
"You better do something about that, Blue." The wee lassie demanded.
Easy there, Little red-head whining hood. If society would ever allow me to freely hit a girl then I will gladly do so right now.
"Are you mute? deaf? or by chance an idiot?" She scowled
I'm none of the above, I just don't want to talk to you.
The president continues to proceed with her speech as I was still pressured by this annoying secretary to change my clothes which is really impossible.
"Well? Go on! Go to your dorm and change." She said
"S-Sorry Audrey but...I don't use t-the dorm. I prefer to stay at home." I replied even if I didn't want to talk to her.
"Huh? Why?" She wants to know
I have to share a room with someone else, That's the reason.
"It's complicated." I replied scratching the back of my head.
I can tell that she's really furious. She's still cute though. Like a little sister who's mad because you didn't save any cookies for her.
"You're such an irresponsible idio- "
"Shut up, big eyes!"
A woman's scowl echoed throughout the room in which then gathered every attention of everyone who is present in this ceremony.
And from the stage, Me and the others saw that the origin of the scowl was a quarrel between a girl and a boy from the back of the line.
"Alright, That's it!" The boy yelled as his weird big orange eyes turned bright red.
"What are you gonna do? Shoot laser beams with those Tarsier eyes of yours?" The girl taunted while her hands started to emit golden sparks of electricity.
Seeing the fight that was about to go down, the students all moved away from the two just to watch where this is going.
"Those D section heroes are really a handful." Audrey face-palmed
For once, we agreed.
"Oh dear..." Our headmaster has this worried look plastered on his face
Beatrice then took the initiative to stop the scene.
"You two, at the back, please behave yourse-" The two quarreling students paid no attention to her as they each prepare a fighting stance
The two began overpowering each other, No one really stepped in to stop their fight.
The incinerating red laser beam of the boy's eyes almost touched the girl when he glared at her.
The wall behind the girl cratered and almost collapsed when it got hit by the concentrated beam of light. Thank god no one was hurt from that.
"Ah shit!" The boy with the big eyes cursed after missing his shot.
The girl soon took this miss as an opportunity to counter as she rushed towards the boy with her right hand emitting strong sparks of electricity.
Her fist formed a claw that is about to scratch the astonished boy in the face with those electrical sparking hands. The boy soon evaded her attacks by leaping back every time the girl attempts to scratch him.
"Hold still!" She whined as she continues delivering left and right scratches to the boy.
I gotta give it to the guy, To avoid those consecutive hits, he must have had a really good vision that came with his gift. His eyes though, Its cooldown is already finished and is ready to shoot laser beams anytime soon.
Welp. It's my cue then. Sigh...
Miguel? Why do you force me to handle awkward situations like this? I know it's for overcoming my social anxiety, but this is too much!
After questioning my life choices, I decided to approach the two troublesome people that forced my introverted guts to act like a normal functioning human being.
"Um. Hello?" I desperately called for their attention and the two actually stopped fighting and looked at me instead.
My social skills are not really that well. And I'm okay with that.
"C-Can you please...Um. Stop f-fighting?" I spoke like a baby in his mid-3's.
As expected, The two didn't give a shit about what I said and continued fighting anyway.
"Fight me bitch!" He taunted while his orange big eyes slowly turned red.
Alright. I guess I have no other choice but to use my gift, do I?
Giving up, I closed my eyes for a second, raised my hand and right after my gift activated, Everyone went silent.
"What the hell!?" His pupils lost their bright red color right after meeting my lifeless hollowed eyes.
"First warning." I muttered as a small black swirling vortex emerged on my palm.
My gift give me the ability to absorb objects or extraordinary manifestations that were available within my ability's radius.
I don't know where exactly they go after being absorbed by the vortex on my hand but what's important is that all the present special abilities were now sucked in and heck even the mic and the sound system stopped working. It's just for a few minutes though.
"My gift? I can't feel it!" He was upset and the same reaction goes for the girl. "What did you do!?"
I can feel my power's vacuum pressure getting stronger so I decided to stop it before this room could turn into a vacuum chamber.
I closed my hand right after the vacuuming vortex disappeared.
"Campus rule #6," I replied to the boy. "No one in any situation should use their gifts to cause harm to other students."
The room was rendered in silence as the attention remained directly towards me which is slowly killing me by the way.
The girl that was in a quarrel with the boy earlier glared at me after losing her gift's manifestation's.
"Just who do the hell do you think you are!?" She was frustrated as if she was a cat hissing at someone.
I calmed myself down. Finally turning my gift off. I gave a response before going back to the stage...
"M-My name is Blue...and starting today, I'm your "volunteer" peace officer."
