Theodore Andrew Scifios. The genius of the Scifios Family, official first born of Randolph and Ashe Scifios. Brother to the young lady Lucy Petille Scifios. The 11 year old genius of Psychokinesis, heir to the seat of Lysensa's top hospital, St. Basca. He took over my position when I... lost the wager.

Now looking at him, sent chills down my spine. I never anticipated nor know that our reunion will be this soon.

'Calm down... just calm down...' I told myself as my heart beats faster.

'Hehe... Look at you, pretending to be calm.' My anxiety smiles as he floats around my psyche.

Theodore took a seat beside me and he takes out a picture of his family. His smile was innocent and carefree. He was wearing his scholar's band, and his light brown uniform signifies his high status.

"I wonder what my ma and da would feel when I graduate." Theo asked with a smile while staring at the photo.

'S-should I reply?' My mind raced.

"No matter, I'll make them proud. Hey, I didn't quite catch your name pal." Theo smiled widely. It made me completely uncomfortable.

"Marc Callahan Noan." I said rather quietly.

"Nice to meet you pally! Say, you look rather sickly, you feeling under the weather?" His energy wasn't like Conner's, no... It's the same but different at the same time.

"I-I'm fine." I stuttered, he makes me feel so uneasy.

"You look familiar pal. Are you also from Lysensa?" He asked with unbound curiousity.

When he mentioned Lysensa, I remembered something unpleasant. Snowy weather, a park, and... Looks of disdain and disappointment. I shuddered, and a sudden wave of nausea hits me.

"Excuse me for a bit... I do feel a bit queasy." I stood up so suddenly and book it towards the door without giving him any room to talk.

Calm down... I have to calm down. While rushing out, I was blocked by Vann at the door way who looked mildly surprised.

"Hey sea pup! Where you off to?" Vann asked playfully.

"Step aside..." I said rather brashly and shove him to the side, not even glancing at his reaction.

I stopped at one of the benches in front of the Prairie Building and took a deep breath. Even a change of scenery wasn't enough to calm down my nerves. Despite the light colored windows and pastel parasols of the rest area, the sickening feeling wouldn't leave me.

A sudden meeting with my estranged baby brother. Somehow destiny seems to be laughing at my situation. I still see Theo's smile. That happiness, that unbound warmth... It made me feel glad to see him like that, he deserves to be happy and he did it with his own worth, so why am I angry?

Anger, that's one emotion I never once expressed my whole entire life. When I was still living in the Noan Orphanage, the kids told me that I was their favorite because I don't get angry with them. So I thought it was okay for me not to get angry. But Keith, being an empath, told me that bottling up anger is harmful for me.

I wasn't sure on what he meant but I never find a reason to be angry, until today. And now, I don't know how to express nor let go of my anger, and I feel like having a fever. Whatever it is, I feel like any action I take will have dire consequences.

'Fuck... What is wrong with me?' I asked myself.

'You're confused, as usual.' My anxiety said with glee.

I can't deal with this. Taking a breather was harder than expected, so I head back to the room, only to find Vann arguing with the blonde. Only they and Theo are inside the room.

His hair was cut in medium waves, his violet eyes sparked with electricity. His fists were also crackling with purple lightning.

"Don't test me Alencon." The blonde said in a quiet yet angry voice.

"Oh I'm sure everyone follows your orders Young Master Narukami." Vann mocked even further, Theodore was obviously distraught, he must've hated conflict. Poor lad.

"Last warning." Narukami said, his lightning emanating from his fingers up towards his eyes.

"Try me." Vann challenged, his eyes radiating confidence as the whole room begins get cold.

"H-hey... Let's all try to be civil here, all right? We're all friends here?" Theo tries to disperse the tension but it all fell in deaf ears. I had my fair share of trying to stop fights, but if there's one thing I know, is that boys, especially the tough ones and roughly their age, never back down without a fight.

They were about to go at it when the door opened and chains began to wrap around the two of them. Vann got an extra chain on his mouth, which in all honesty, was a relief.

"It's only second period and you want to make a mess of the classroom." The professor was a tiny man in his 40's. He was roughly the size of the desk, but the way he presents himself was one that radiates authority, same as Lady Emma a while back.

"Blake Mathis, Eula Kresnik, and Phoebe Maxwell will not be attending today's class. The Headmaster has already informed me. And I see two new faces here. Welcome to Basic Thaumaturgy. I'm your teacher, Eden Godwin. And my ability is Shackles." Professor Godwin piped as he releases the chains that bound Narukami and Vann.

"I already know the two of you, but for the sake of the newcomers, you will have to demonstrate your powers and introduce yourselves as well. Let's start with you, Mr. Alencon."

Vann groans and tries to sit down but Professor Godwin gives him a rather stern look that could curdle dairy.

Vann exasperatedly sighs and irritably scratches his head.

"Vann Ethan Alencon. 13 Years old, Blood type A-. If you want to know more about me, you can find my name in the cadet's list in the Port Protection Agency. As for my power... Well, sea pup here already knows how bombastic I can be right?" He winked at me and I shuddered.

"I can vomit just by looking at you." I was meant to say that to myself but I was so appalled I said it out loud. I covered my mouth when I said that, earning stifled laughs even from Professor Godwin.

But Vann was unphased and just demonstrated. On his left hand, ice crystals began to form, solidifying into an anchor as he tosses it to the air, he then did a swift and fluid motion with his right hand, and a stream of water blasts and envelops on the anchor like a dredgeline. Vann can command both water and ice.

"Yes, yes I know. I'm amazing." Vann said in an extravagant tone.

"Yes, most amusing. Now then, Mr. Narukami?"

"Diego Narukami. That's it." He said briskly.

"Aren't you gonna add the sparkles you're so proud of?" Vann sassed and Diego just glared at him. He then shoots a bolt of lightning towards the ceiling, but instead of breaking it, it got absorbed.

"Heh, you still got it sparky." Vann whistled and Diego rolled his eyes. Are they friends or something?

"Moving on. Let's start with you." Professor Godwin turned his gaze to Theodore.

"Alrighty, my name's Theodore Andrew Scifios. I'm turning 13 this month!" Theo smiled widely. "And my ability is this."

He extended his hand and it was enveloped by teal energy which consolidates into a sphere, he then throws it towards the board and it explodes into a cloudburst of telekinetic energy. creating a huge dent on the board.

"So you're a psionic?" Professor Godwin asked. "And that was a bit too much."

"Well... no. I'm only limited to telekinesis and the spheres." Theo sighs. "Da told me that I should train here for practical use of medical telekinesis."

"That will do Mr. Scifios, and finally?" Professor turned to me.

"I'm Marc Callahan Noan. 13 years old." I said, and... I unleashed my power, sky blue energy begins to envelope the broken board.

'Focus, you've fixed things lots of times.' I told myself and methodically moved my fingers, pieces of the board begin fix itself, while keeping the whole board in its original position. After a few more seconds, the board looked good as new.

"You're a Psionic too? That's wicked pal!" Theo stands up to his feet and exclaims in a powerful voice.

"T-thanks..." I blushed, I wasn't sure how to take it but here I am.

"Well, looks like the sea pup has a useful power after all." Vann whistled and I rolled my eyes.

"All right, settle down. Now then, like before, This will be your first class in Thaumaturgy. Or Applying your Abilities to help your community." Professor Godwin then began his lecture on Thaumaturgy.

He first explained what it was, which is using your abilities to create miracles. Fixing broken things, healing the wounded, even revitalizing the earth. Thaumaturgy is also a double-edged sword. Professor Godwin explained it as breaking the natural taboo, one topic that stuck with me was resurrecting another living being.

"It is imperative to know that while yes, you can save someone from dying, but reviving someone back from death is another story. The dead will remain dead, no matter if you re-animate them or create another version of them. So don't try to break that taboo." Professor Godin said and Vann just let out a huge yawn.

A few minutes more class finally ended, but not before the professor gave us homework, which is to write a 5 sentence essay about the dangers of Thaumaturgy.

"That will be submitted on Friday. Best of luck students!" He piped and I could finally relax a bit.

"Hey, Noan. Got a minute?" Diego Narukami asked for me and I just nod. He led me outside and towards an open courtyard. He then stopped abruptly for me to read his mind.

'I wonder what the boss sees in him? Well, time for me to find out.'

Boss? Who is he talking about? I had no time to ask him for when he faced my direction he shoots a column of violet lightning towards me. I skid to side to avoid getting hit, and it fried a nearby shrubbery.

"Crickey, what the hell was that for?!" I reverted back to my old dialect from the surprise.

"I heard you have a fight with Alencon and McKenna later. I'm just giving you a warm-up and a welcome notice. Stand up Noan, weaklings won't be tolerated here in Lupus Alma." Diego said and he lunges in a speed too fast for me to follow. His fist connected with my mid section, violet lightning arcs from the sides as he throws me off, knocking the wind out of me.

I slammed to the floor as the air keep escaping from my lungs, every breath was like daggers piercing my lungs, and my stomach was burning like someone was prodding it with a hot iron.

'Did I overestimate him?' Diego asked himself in his thoughts.

He then approached and towered above me.

"Seems like this is your limit. You should quit that fight when you get the chance." Diego resigns and leaves me alone, but not before:

"Alencon leaves himself open when he winds up to make a wave. McKenna can expose himself from his duplicates, just watch his eyes. If you find yourself in a situation where surrender isn't an option... Just remember what I said." He said before leaving me gasping for air.

What is the deal with these guys?

I sat upright and used my telekinesis to stimulate the cells for recovery. Diego Narukami. Must be weird that one of the powerful and popular kids would just wipe the floor with me. And I was hoping, not to get involved with him any further. But plans... They change.

As I head back to the classroom, I heard there was a commotion between the students of Class-A. Everyones minds were buzzing with excitement. And I heard the situation.

'Argent McKenna is having a fight with Elios Noan.'
