New Power

Aaron was famished. After eating his food, he still had 2 hours left in his lunch break. Deciding to explore the academy a bit more, he stood up from his chair and left the cafeteria.

The academy of Iridian was magnificent. When walking on the cement path's, one could see finely cut shrubbery and smell the fragrance of nature in the air. It seemed as if this was truly the Garden of Eden, a paradise. Aaron, who had never entered the Magic Research Facility, wanted to see what his study would look like if he had chosen magic researcher. As such, he was walking towards the facility when suddenly a large shadow ominously loomed under him.

A figure rose from the shadow. Upon looking, this figure who appeared to be a man had two pristine daggers both at the side of his waist. He wore a black robe that had intricate designs on it. In these designs, one could see a skull shape. His whole face was covered with a mask.

[System has detected a hostile entity. Analyzing...]

[Fenrir]

------------------------

[Rating: Early Exalted]

[Ability: Shadow]

The ability of shadow allows the user to create shadows that can be used to move quickly without a sound. Upon entering a shadow, user will be invulnerable to all attacks but Light. If one uses the Light ability, a shadow can be dispersed and the user will be kicked out of the shadow. Shadow users also receive 10x damage if hit by Light. Light from the sky will not affect Shadow users if they are concealed.

------------------------

"Shadow ability?" Aaron thought.

Fenrir didn't give Aaron any time to think. Quickly, he pulled out one of the daggers on his waist and flung it right towards Aaron's face.

Aaron, surprised, barely dodged the dagger, which sliced a piece of hair with it. The shadow quickly dispersed and appeared right behind Aaron. Remembering that Light could be used to disperse shadows, Aaron quickly channeled magic essence into his palm and slammed it to the ground, creating a mini-flashbang. The light from the attack eliminated the shadow, revealing Fenrir.

"Impossible! How can he use Light?" Fenrir thought.

Recovering from the shock, Fenrir dashed toward Aaron with his dagger.

Aaron had an average reaction time. Because of this, he couldn't dodge Fenrir, who was heading towards him at an extremely fast speed. Directing all of the magic essence into his hand, Aaron knew that he couldn't dodge Fenrir, so he intended to exchange strike for strike. When Fenrir was just a few inches away from him, Aaron swung his arm into a upwards arc, landing directly into Fenrir's chin. At the same time however, the dagger impaled his left thigh.

The punch filled with magic essence sent a beam of light right through Fenrir's skull. When the light dispersed, a headless body could only be seen. What was more important however, was the dagger sticking through his leg. The pain was excruciating, causing Aaron to stagger. Limping, he placed his hand over Fenrir's heart, telling the system to absorb it's magic essence. When it finished, the pain in his thigh increased and Aaron fainted.

Inside a meeting room..

In the front of the room, a man could be seen by the side of a video displayed from a projector.

This video was none other than Aaron's performance.

All the teachers in the room were watching closely. When Aaron finished his light beam, all the teachers sat there in disbelief and shock.

"How is this student in Class F? This should be a student in Class A!" a magic research teacher said.

"As you can see, Aaron holds power stronger than a Middle Unique, which is currently the top rating in Class B. Not only that, he possesses the legendary Light ability," Ronnie said.

"I believe this student should be transferred to Class A," a man with white robes, black hair, and a black mustache said.

This man was the Class A teacher, Henry.

All the teachers in the rooms voiced their agreement, ending the meeting, when suddenly the door flew open, showing a student.

"Ronnie, a student from your class named Aaron has been found on the ground injured! He has been brought to the infirmary but is losing a lot of blood!" the student said.

"Nani!?!?" all the teachers said in unison.

Rushing out of the building, the teachers quickly arrived at the infirmary. Entering the emergency room, Aaron could be seen laying on a bed, his skin pale.

A teacher from the magic combat facility quickly rushed over to the side of Aaron. Her name was Mary. Hovering her hands over Aaron's body, two green spheres appeared under them. Pressing them on Aaron's body, Aaron's face slowly restored color. At the same time, it woke him up.

------------------------

Dazed, Aaron looked around him. People that looked like teachers surrounded him. His confusion didn't last long as the pain in his leg reminded him of the dagger in his leg. Grimacing, he flung the sheet covering him and looked at his thigh.

Stitches could be seen on the spot where the dagger impaled. The dagger that impaled his leg was nowhere to be seen.

Relieved, Aaron looked at the teacher beside him.

"Are you okay?" a female teacher by his side said.

Nodding his head, the teacher then said, "My name is Mary. I restored your blood using my ability "Heal."

Mary seemed to be an old woman in her 70's. She had white hair, and wrinkles could be seen throughout her face.

Expressing his thanks, he glanced over at the teachers behind Mary. Right when he did so, he spotted his magic teacher, Ronnie. However, another teacher walked up beside him, blocking his vision.

"Young man, we need to talk," a man with white robes said.
