Headmaster Ignatius' Talk

I tapped my wooden throne as I waited for the Headmaster to return. Several energy signatures were quickly heading towards our building. And based on their urgency, they were most likely here for me. The first energy signature was considerably faster than the others and would arrive in just a few minutes. The other energy signatures following behind seem to be at a running pace but also heading towards this building using a completely different route.

'The first person should be a teacher. The rest... perhaps security? Hmm... Most likely due to my borrowing Daku for the day.'

I looked around.

'They seemed to have noticed as well.'

One of the brats spoke up.

"Why did you do that to him? All he did was try to trip you. You didn't need to go so far as to cut his leg off," a brown-haired teenager curiously spoke.

'Interesting, the second group of people heading towards me split in several directions. Perhaps they are looking for several suspects?'

"Hey! Answer me!" Seeing that I ignored him, the brown-haired teenager glared at me.

"Hmph, he'll get what he deserves in just a moment," another brat spoke.

They were here.

BANG!

The door to the classroom burst open.

A man in a red, white, and blue super suit came in. He proudly exclaimed honestly, his chest shoved outward with his left arm by his side and his right hand pointing right at me.

"My name is Superflex, and under the orders of Headmaster Ignatius, you, Madara Uchiha, for breaking the rules of the Super Academy, you are on probation for the rest of the quarter! You will no longer be able to-"

Several more individuals entered the room, interrupting his dialogue. The new arrivals, dressed in black with only small openings for eyes, looked like modern-day ninjas.

"You three... the security department?" Superflex turned before questioning the new intruders.

"Sir Grey sent us. We are here to search for the perpetrator of kidnapping one of our high-level supers. Witnesses described the main suspect to have spiky black hair and a gold uniform."

"Sir Grey? And a kidnapping on Academy grounds?" Superflex said incredulously.

The man leading the security group nodded.

"Spiky black hair and a gold uniform... wait."

His head shot back towards my direction again. His eyes widened in realization.

"You caused even more trouble?!"

"I had some questions to ask him, but worry not. He is not physically harmed."

"Where is he?!" One of the people dressed in black spoke out, her tone laced with anger.

'From his memories, her name was Alice Fowl. The partner of Daku Fowl. A B Rank super, her abilities include reversing gravity for items she is in contact with. Not a threat.'

"Sigh... I got everything I needed from him anyways. Here here is."

'Kamui'

A body was ejected from a swirl in the air. It was Daku.

His body hit the ground with a thud. Although I did not physically harm him, the same could not be said about his mental state. His eyes were stretched wide with red bags under his eyes from excessive crying, and his whole body was shaking.

"Alter!" Alice ran towards Daku, cradling his head in her arms. "What happened to you?"

Alter was Daku's super name.

"Nothing, me and M-m-Madara just talked. Y-y'know, about what super Academy is like."

"Stop lying! Look at you, just what did you do to him?!" She turned toward me and yelled in anger.

"It's as he says. We talked." I smiled before gesturing back toward him.

After all, she was not a threat to me. I was not afraid of a B Rank super. At the same time, Superflex had no intention of hurting me. And these green brats wouldn't be able to kill me even if I gave them a chance.

"YOU!" Her body was enveloped in a green glow, and she grabbed a desk, quickly lifting it using her gravity manipulation ability.

Whoosh!

However, before she could do a thing, a hand was on her shoulder. It was Headmaster Ignatius.

"He's back!" Several of the students cried out in relief.

Many of the supers had been unsure of what to do. Some were still sitting down, looking curiously at me, while others had stood up, prepared to restrain me if I resisted.

However, I was not worried about them but rather the Headmaster. The only one worth fighting in this new world, other than my mother.

I frowned. I couldn't sense his presence at all until he was already here.

'Instant teleportation. From Daku's memories, Headmaster Ignatius was famous worldwide for his ability to manipulate fire freely. But some also knew he possessed the power to teleport anywhere within his domain.' And Super Academy was his domain.

'A dangerous ability,' I thought to myself.

"I'll take care of the situation. Please, return with Alter," the Headmaster spoke to Alice calmly before turning back to me.

He was not happy. "Come with me to my office, Madara Uchiha."

☙☙☙☙☙

The walk to the Headmaster's office was not far. It was located in the center of the Academy, between the medical wing and the other buildings, including building 2A.

The office, however, had no visible entrances, looking more like a glass cube than an actual building.

'Most likely done to only allow the Headmaster in, although it would be ineffective against Kamui.'

The Headmaster placed his hand on my shoulders, and we teleported in.

The room was simple in design. Bookshelves covered the walls, with a small glass table and some chairs in the center. At the end of the room, the Headmaster's desk was present.

He sat in one of the chairs before gesturing for me to sit down.

"Sigh... just how much trouble are you Uchiha's planning on causing here?"

My eyes narrowed.

"There are other Uchiha's here?"

"Well, just one other, but I was mostly talking about the Uchiha's who came before you."

'That made sense. Considering the many generations of the Uchiha family, several likely attended this Academy. But who is this other Uchiha who is here?'

'Who is it?'

Headmaster Ignatius looked at me, his face unreadable. Then he chuckled. "I can't say. That wouldn't make it as interesting."

He crossed his legs.

"You're meeting her soon enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you don't know about the semester combat tournaments?"

"Tournaments?"

"Ah... you were out while I had been explaining some of the upcoming events. Oh, right! I heard about how you ended up absorbing so much Awakening energy that you blacked out."

He looked curiously at me.

"So, how many abilities did you awaken?"

I shrugged.

"Oh, come on, tell me. I won't tell a soul. I know you have at least two abilities—your ability to create and manipulate wood and something spatial. Are you perhaps able to move something to a separate space?"

I just stared at him.

"Wait, did you not inherit your parent's super abilities? Perhaps you got telekinesis as well? Or maybe your father's super strength? You are quite an interesting person, Madara. Having two super abilities is already an unnatural feat, but three, perhaps more? Do you realize how monstrous you are? I, one of the few S-ranked supers in the world, only have two abilities."

"Perhaps I'll tell you more about myself if you give me some information. I have a few questions of my own."

"Sigh... I suppose I'll just find out later. Anyways, let's talk about the mess you created."

He took out a few papers from his desk. It looked fairly recent.

"Arnold, heir of the Westminster family, severed foot. Approximately three weeks of the best treatment to get him back in peak condition. I've already received demands for compensation. Sigh... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad you're part of the Uchiha family. Or else I'd have to deal with making sure you are safe."

Ignatius rubbed the skin between his eyebrows.

"Why'd you have to go as far as to cut his foot off? Most kids your age can't even bear to see blood. You go through some freaky Uchiha family training?"

"I chose the only option."

"What do you mean, the only option? You could have just shrugged it off, or at the worst, hit him, not shower the room with blood! And what the hell did you do to Alter? His mind is completely fucked up. Did you torture him or something? You know CCTV caught you in 4k taking Alter to wherever that swirley thing is?"

"Gaaah! You, Uchiha, always make my life miserable. So much damn paperwork. Last time it was your dad, and now it's you."

"My father? You know him?"

In the decade of being in this world, I had yet to meet, see, or hear from the supposed 'Patriarch' of the Uchiha family.

"Oh, he's still dealing with the damn dragons. But yes, I know him. That monster always caused trouble at my Academy. I couldn't deal with him, so I had him graduate early. Although he was a pain to deal with in the Academy, he's a good friend. You know, you remind me a little of him. You're both overpowered fuckers."

He chuckled to himself as if reminiscing about a distant memory.

'Seems like my father is an exciting person,' I thought. 'And this world has dragons, those mythical creatures of the stories?'

"However, Madara, regardless of whether your father always caused trouble, he never killed anyone. I have a good feeling you're too comfortable with killing and violence. But I will not tolerate any more avoidable conflicts with students, Uchiha family or not."

"Weakness disgusts me. And paired with an attitude with no strength to back it up, that brat had it coming."

"Ahhh! You're so frustrating to deal with. Just get out of here. I'll be back for class in just a few minutes. Remember my words! No killing!"

I teleported out with Kamui before he even had the chance to teleport me.

I instantly arrived at the throne I had created earlier. I noticed two familiar faces in the classroom and the nine other brats.

It was Izumi and Yuka.

They both had on gold uniforms.

'S Rank potential,' I noted. 'Why weren't they in this class as well?'

"Madara! You're back!"

Izumi jumped at me. I used Kamui to turn myself intangible.

"Wha-" She passed right through me before crashing into the throne behind me.

The others looked at me in surprise.

"An illusion?" One remarked. "That's his super ability? But it looks so weak."

"Are you dumb? He used that same ability against Arnold!"

I heard the brats chattering in the background.

Yuka looked at me, seemingly ignoring the chattering and blood-painted ground.

"Madara, we're here to pick you up. We're building 2B for other high-potential supers, but for firsties. I don't know why Headmaster Ignatius put you in this class, but we wanted to ask him if he would transfer you when he returns!"

Izumi seemed to have recovered from the fall. "That ability is so cool, Madara! Are you an illusion? Or are you still there, but I just can't touch you?"

"You just can't touch me."

"Oh! Wait, but if we can't touch you, does that mean..." They both turned toward me with teary expressions.

"Our date!" They spoke out simultaneously in anguish.

More heads turned in our direction.

'Hmm... perhaps this misunderstanding is for the best.'
