Chapter 1 : Unleashed Aura

The sun had just risen, casting a warm glow over the bustling city of Pandora. Alex Duskwalker stood at the bus stop, a book in his hand titled "Pandora 99," engrossed in its tales. His friends, Jamie Moon and tulip Everwood, approached, chatting excitedly about the upcoming semester at the prestigious Ermission Academy. The school was renowned for training students in mastering their auras and crafting Ermission Armaments.

"Hey, Alex, you should've seen my new Ermission Armament yesterday!" Jamie exclaimed. "It's a pair of sick water blades. I can't wait to train with it!"

"And mine is a set of earth gauntlets! I've been practicing all summer!" Enthusiastically tulip responded

Alex smiled, trying to hide his disappointment. "That's great, guys. I'm glad you found your weapons." He hesitated before adding, "I still haven't been able to get mine yet."

As the school bus arrived, they all boarded, and Alex found a seat near the back. The conversation about Ermission Armaments continued, and the other students on the bus eagerly shared their weapon stories. Alex listened intently, secretly hoping he could join in the discussion soon.

Finally, they arrived at Ermission Academy, a magnificent campus adorned with statues and ancient architecture. The students piled out of the bus. Alex and the gang began to wonder why Demetrius hadn't shown up yet. "He's probably still getting his Armament worked on. He's such a perfectionist," Jamie speculated. As they talked, a commotion caught their attention. They turned to see a figure flying awkwardly through the air before crashing into a classroom wall. It was Demetrius, flapping his newly crafted Armament wings uncontrollably. "Demetrius, are you okay?!" Tulip rushed to his side. Jamie wasn't sympathetic "Dude, you need to get a grip on those wings man!"

The student council president, a composed young woman named Akiko, and her disciplinary team arrived on the scene. Akiko "Who did this" she asked "we don't know" Alex responded "do I look stupid to you?" She replied "Do you really want me to answer that" Alex said "Smart mouth i see well this is a warning using your Armaments recklessly on school grounds is prohibited" Alex couldn't resist but taunt her "Yeah, yeah, we get it. Keep it to yourself, with all this yelling Demetrius, or the walls will all collapse!" Derek, a fellow council member with a strong German accent, smirked and removed his own Armaments. He seemed eager to provoke Alex. "You think you tough, Duskwalker. Prove it or maybe you too chicken?"

Akiko stepped in, preventing a confrontation. "That's enough, Derek. We don't need any more damage today." With tensions diffused, the group headed to their first class. At the door, they encountered a goth girl with a rebellious streak in school. She stood with her arms crossed, blocking the entrance. Alex stopped and asked her "What's the password to enter, Your Gothness?" The girl rolled her eyes. "You're hopeless, Duskwalker. Just go in already." The class began with a lecture on the history of Ermission Armaments, followed by a practical exercise in the gym to test their newfound abilities. On the way, Alex felt a strange sensation. He glanced at his reflection in a nearby window and noticed his aura, usually a vibrant shade of purple, appeared wild and untamed.

He tried to compose himself, but his classmates were too absorbed in their own excitement to notice. Only tulip, who stood closest to him, caught a glimpse of his erratic aura, but she didn't mention anything, not wanting to spoil the moment. In the gym, the instructor, Professor Yukihiro, a wise and gentle Japanese man, began the training session. He had a calm demeanor. "Okay students let's start with activating your Armaments" As Alex attempted to manifest his Ermission Armament, the aura around him intensified, causing a flicker of concern in tulips eyes. "This doesn't feel right Alex's aura looks weird for some reason" but she didn't know what it meant.

"Remember, everyone, focus on channeling your aura with control and precision," Professor Yukihiro advised.

For the first time, Alex thought its going to work and he'll be able to use an Armament. He tried to control his aura but he couldn't get it under control. The day continued, and the students immersed themselves in the excitement of learning and bonding with their newfound abilities. But for Alex, the uncertainty about his aura and the Ermission Armament weighed heavily on his mind.
