The Override Authority

"After billions of years of thriving, the Milky Way galaxy collided with the Andromeda galaxy and merged with it.

As a result of the collision, the solar system, in which Earth is present, now has 15 planets, four of which are habitable.

The collision also damaged these planets, leading to drastic climate changes.

This resulted in the annihilation of about 90% of the population, and advanced technology was also completely destroyed.

The disaster caused the continents to merge, and now there are only two continents.

After 500 years of hard work, humans have once again advanced their technology as it was in the 30th century.

On planet Earth,

In the continent of Zeta, in sector Zeta 01, the prestigious university of doppelganger users looks really peaceful today.

In the class of the third-year students, on the seventh floor, near the window sits an average-looking student who is lost in thought.

Jason looks through the window and thinks, 'Ahh, what a boring day.'

As Jason looks out of the window, the teacher, Mr. Stein, notices him and silently moves towards him.

Seeing this, other students start to observe the situation for fun.

Ron nudges his deskmate Alice and says, "Today, Jason is in trouble."

Alice nods and says, "You're right, and I don't know why he is always so absent-minded in class."

During their conversation, Mr. Stein has already reached Jason's table and said, "Having fun, Jason?"

"Nah, I'm just bored," Jason instinctively replies, and then he sees Mr. Stein's hand coming near his face.

'Smack'

Jason holds his cheek as tears come to his eyes.

"Next time, it will not end with just a slap. Be attentive in my class," Mr. Stein says as he moves off to the hologram to start teaching.

"Stupid fool."

"Arrogant bastard."

"Hahaha.."

The students start to laugh and pass vile comments to him as he holds his cheek and restrains himself from crying.

"Teacher shouldn't have hit him. The teacher is Rank 2, so that slap must be hurting badly," Ron says to Alice.

"Now, concentrate on the class if you don't want to be slapped," Alice says to him.

Mr. Stein watches everyone as the class becomes silent.

"As I was teaching you, you are now in your third year so you will have a chance to activate your doppelganger next week.

"Everyone should exercise, eat healthy food, and refrain from getting injured or sick during this time."

"It has been seen that those who are injured or sick during activation, activate weak doppelgangers," Mr. Stein says as he observes if everyone understands the severity of what he has said or not.

"Sir, can you tell us what we should do after activating our doppelganger?" the class representative Edward asks.

"After activating, if you awaken an elemental doppelganger, you will get a monthly fund for your daily life, about $10,000; in the case of shapeshifters, you will get $5,000; and in the case of enhancers, $1,000," Mr. Stein tells everyone as he takes out a red crystal.

"This crystal will be very important for you to improve, so don't waste money on miscellaneous things," Mr. Stein says.

The class for the day continues as he talks about other things.

'Damn it, why did he hit me in front of the whole class and with such power?' Jason thinks as he massages his cheek.

'I was barely able to hold back my tears; if I had cried, I would have become the laughingstock of the whole school,' Jason thinks with dread.

Jason listens to the class as his phone vibrates.

He sees it is a message through his smartwatch from his landlord.

'Pay the rent for three months quickly, or I will throw you all out,' the message says.

'These landlords are bastards; my life is already very bad, and these people make it worse.'

'I don't know why these landlords can't understand the predicament of other people; it's not like I am not trying to work hard to pay the rent,' he thinks as he starts to write a reply.

'Sir, please give us more time. In one week, I will activate my doppelganger and start getting the monetary fund, then I will pay,' he sends the message.

'You think you will activate some powerful ability. Your debt is $24,000, and after including this month, it will be $32,000,' the reply comes back quickly.

'Just give me some time; I will definitely pay the debt back,' he replies.

'This is your last month,' he replies.

'Damn, another problem added to the thousands of other problems,' Jason thinks as his face grimaces.

After an hour, the class ends.

Today's class is only two hours long, and then there is a holiday for one week.

As the teacher leaves, the other students start talking to each other.

Ron and Alice come to the seat of Jason.

"So, how was the taste of the slap. I always told you to pay attention to the class but you didn't listen. Now this happens." Ron says while laughing.

"Ron, don't add salt to the wound. Jason let's go to the cafeteria. We will talk there while having lunch." Alice says as she reprimands Ron for his insensitive nature.

"Thank you, Alice." Jason nods as he goes outside the class with them.
