Chapter 1 - Superpowers

The world changed that day when earth shook, buildings collapsed and millions died.

Space cracked and a round energy portal appeared. First, due to existing chaos and other trouble no one had the time to care about the portal.

But that was their biggest mistake as humongous creatures with scary looks left the portal. 

Their strength was unparalleled, body indestructible and almost impossible to kill.

With many nuclear weapons, humans somehow survived with the mere population of a billion.

Many thought this was the end. But to their surprise, nuclear waste couldn't harm the earth. Pollution disappeared and the water became crystal clear. Land was too fertile and humans again survived.

And finally, people awakened superpowers. Super strength, pyrokinesis, telekinesis etc.

Those people fought with monsters and again strived to take back the world.

AAP 0023-

"Come here."

A boy whispered to the clothes on the table while swaying his hand. He was washing his face hurriedly and quickly brushed his teeth.

His swaying hand finally stopped when the clothes moved and flowed toward him.

And of course, in this world of superpower there is almost anyone who hasn't awakened a superpower.

Every superpower is categorized in alphabetical rank from F to S.

And, Harry, a boy with average looks, skinny body living in a run down apartment of 1 room and a bathroom has F-rank telekinesis.

And his rank is lowest even in F rank. It takes more than three minutes of concentration on the item to make it come toward him.

He can only carry items with the weight 1/3 of his own. Meaning, his weight now is 40 kg and he can only carry items of 12 kg at most.

More than that, how much force he uses he can't carry them with his will. Even an item of 10 kg makes him more exhausted than actually carrying that thing.

Being an orphan he didn't have anyone to take care of him, So he always barely managed to reach the school on time.

"Damn!" Harry cursed as he bolted down the street. With a bread on his mouth and a water bottle on his hand, he could be seen dashing with all of his might.

"I will be latee!!!!" He was desperate. Reaching late on supers academy has a punishment of cleaning the whole school from ground to hallway to every class.

Of course, for many high ranked superpowers users, this isn't even work. Only low level superpower users like him will exhaust themselves to death.

Not to mention he had a part time job. That's his lifeline. 

"If...if only I had higher level telekinesis!!!" Telekinesis is considered one of the top superpowers which at the peak can even lift buildings. 

Not to mention high level telekinetics could easily crush low level monsters without breaking a sweat.

...

Supers Academy-

This academy was established 10 years after the apocalypse. After superpower appeared, the principal of this school specially scouted superheroes.

With being an S rank superhero himself, he wasn't lacking anything. After many years, this academy has become one of the primary place to train supers.

These supers will be the one to enter the dungeon in the future and will be in the army.

The building of this academy is very huge, accommodating 50 floors with the top floor being the staff room and principal office.

The walls of this place are made up with special materials obtained from the dungeon. So even a S-rank body strengther couldn't give a crack to it. One had to know an S ranker of any superpower holds the power to destroy an entire city.

And only one in ten millions of people awakened S-rank power.

The school is filled with greenery. Grassland, flower garden and a fountain in the center.

A huge statue of a person was kept just beside the fountain.

"Great hero, telekinetics god." Harry looked at the statue while walking.

"A person who could lift buildings as if they were toys. And could even fix the broken things to its original appearance with a click of his finger. Once renowned and revered hero that the whole world respects. This person is known as the strongest super even now." Harry was fond of this hero.

His dream was to become strong like him. So no one could  bully him.

Harry's shoulder was slumped and his head was facing the ground as he feared anyone would see him and recognise him.

Horde of students were walking along with him. But they had no care of this person who tried his best to hide his presence.

Harry entered the building and was going to enter the class. But suddenly he stopped on his track.

"Harry." A voice drifted to his ear that made him shudder.  "I-Leon" He forced a weak smile.

"How are you, my friend?" Leon asked with a playful smile on his face. Behind him were two other students who shared the same smile.

"I...am. good."

"That's good. We are thirsty, you see."

"Oh." 

"And as you can see the class is going to start, so will you bring us some drinks from the vending machine."

"B-Bu"

"Hmm, any problem with that." He cracked his knuckles.

"N-No."

"Good."

Saying that, the trio walked inside the class. Harry ran with his might so that he could return back in time. 'At least give me the money, you fuckers!' He had no courage to say that out loud.

The vending machine was just right outside the building but it would take five minutes to reach there from Harry's class.

With Harry's running, he reached there in 2 minutes, bought the drink and ran to the classroom.

Fortunately, he reached the class in time. And the teacher entered the class after a minute.

Harry breathed raggedly and sat on his desk  with a pale face. He had no energy left.

"I am so tired." He complained. "And I didn't even get to eat properly." His stomach grumbled to prove his words.

"Are you ok?" A sweet voice came beside him.

"I am ok...I guess." Harry replied to the girl.

"By the way, Rina. Aren't we going in dungeon today?" 

Rina was an average girl. Her superpower was Aquakinesis meaning she could manipulate

water, and she ranked B which was not bad. At least the rank that no one will casually bully her.

Her appearance wasn't that bad but not to the point of being called beautiful too. She was wearing glasses and had long black hair.

Her lips trembled a bit as she opened her mouth. "Yeah. We are finally going inside a dungeon..." Her voice was a little gloomy.

"Hmm, are you scared? With your power, I don't think you need to be afraid much"

"I am not sacred, you idiot. I am worried about you. Will you be alright in the dungeon? I know, even the teacher won't care about you." 

Hearing that, Harry forced a smile.

"Don't worry. I will take care of myself." Harry's heart was warm. While he had a bully like Leon who was a C-rank body strengthner, he also had a good friend like Rina who was worried about him.

He smiled warmly and looked at the teacher as the class started.
