"Haaaah" Fenix sighed as he was walking home, the sun was setting and a gentle, warm breeze bristled through his red hair.
His tender white skin almost looked ablaze as it reflected the sunlight but it slowly dimmed when the sun finally went down showing the dark, tired look on his face. "I couldn't get any sleep with Jake bringing in another girl last night and now I have to walk home...
Eesh, they don't even have excuses except for 'I'm busy' because they got cars! Haaah." He couldn't help give out another sigh.
"And that jake.... He is under aged for one- only 16, can wait for him to leave next year! Haha if he thinks I don't know what he's been doing with his girl for the past year, he's wrong! Those kids will finally know that those moans weren't actually coming for ghosts.
And how doesn't granny and aunts not notice, they must be deaf..."
He mumbled to himself as he casually walked past the magic and mecha arena, that's what loneliness can do to you, getting lost in your own thoughts and conversing with yourself, he only talks to people in the orphanage as he was brought up there and only warms up to them, but many people in school tend to avoid him, either they'r afraid or because of the dominating aura he gives off (unintentionally when he is bored).
His home, the 'Roseberry' orphanage was an hour walk from the school, right now, he was forced to *cough*- I meant he was attending summer school.
Although he didn't necessarily want to go, his 'grandma' Lil and and 'aunt' Sophie' (as they liked to be called) encouraged' him to go.
This was because Fenix sometimes can't control his intelligence from leaking which makes people realise his talent- he remembers in some past lives accidentally giving some 'ideas' which advanced technology in the world by a couple thousand years.
As he was walking oblivious to his surroundings, he suddenly hear a loud "beep!" A hover car was coming straight to him, with no intention of slowing down!
He could hear sirens which were probably the police in pursuit of the driver in the vehicle, Fenix started calculating what to do, he came with too conclusions as the car was closing up on him: either climb in the car, pull the breaks and knock the driver out as the vehicle has no roof, or stop the car in its tracks and run away and let police apprehend him, Fenix was bored, really bored, that's why he chose the first, more difficult option. "Humph, I'm up for a challenge!" He shouted as his image blurred and appeared in the car.
"Waah?" The man made a confused wail, the last thing he seen before blacking out was a childish, adorable face with a slightly bored look. Who wouldn't be confused?
"Screech" the breaks were pulled and the car spun off course, it stopped inches away from three boys looking around Fenixes age.
All this happened in a couple of seconds. Right now Fenix was holding the driver up by the collar shaking him to see if he drops anything valuable, after all Fenix is not a hero or Saint.
Right now he was hovering in the air so the mans feet were off the ground. Fenix heard a clink of coin "haaah" he sighed what felt like the millionth time the day.
His eyes followed the coin as it rolled right next to the three boys feet. Fenix just noticed "what weak presences" he noted. He stared into there eyes while still holding the man up, shocked by the situation.
As he noticed their eyes wander onto the man and his feet of the air he couldn't help but say-
"Shiii-" *sirens* could be heard incoming. Fenix was brought back to reality, dropped the body and ran full speed, his bag was swinging around everywhere as he frantically ran.
His initial 1 hour daily walk ended up finished in one minute, he couldn't help but curse, although he usually acts that he doesn't like the walks, they are actually the one moment of the day he has some peace and quiet.
No monotone, boring voice of professors lulling him sleep, no loud children gossiping or playing and no moans from jake and his girl friend, the only moment to himself gone.
Only training can compare to his 'daily' walk through the sunset, but that's exhausting as its speed the process of him regaining his mana and Ki.
His mind once again wanders off, "right now, I should be around 1.5 percent of my full power, so around a low to mid A class adventurer which there are less than 50 of in each continent. I have to beat my record 60 percent sooner or later, hopefully this world can handle it, it has a good core and some powerful presences. Yeah, it'll be fine."
You can probably guess why he is so infamous, but his ancient 'friends' wouldn't dare oppose him, he is the strongest and oldest of them, after all.
He even has a motto to make them not feel entirely helpless as he destroys the cosmos- "for every world I destroy I will create a galaxy" ... And that's why this multiverse is infinitely expanding (or one of them anyway). Yes Fenix right here manages the creation and destruction of the universe, he creates the Suns and planets with their cores of mana.
------------------
Oh by the way the rankings of an adventurer as you can probably guess go:
(It gives the estimation of how many of the races are each on that level. NOT the monsters or people or creatures not known to an average person.)
X: mythical level made just for the dragon emperor
SSS: Op/legend- 4 known to exist and that's the dragon kings of the dragon continent.
SS: 6 in the world- the presumed strongest of each continent the 4 other emperors and the head and vice head of the academy (only the higher ups know about professor Sinnil teaching in the summer in the capital, if only the kids knew...), they're immortal, not including high ranking dragons in the dragon continent.
S: when you reach this stage, your life span is over 1000 years. Around 20 in the world are known, except for dragons as they can become this in adulthood.

------------------
Fenix arrived at the orphanage, he went inside and walked through the large corridor. The orphanage itself is well maintained and looks comfortable and spacious... If it weren't for the kids. They were running around everywhere, acting like the beasts they are, acting like they own the place.
"Look at them... They think they can trick me? I can see straight that innocent adorable facade they are pulling, damn these gullible adults."[/size]
It has around 25 bedrooms with 6 beds in each room as they are large, a main lobby, a lounge, a kitchen, 4 toilets, three large bath rooms, swimming pool, gym, a reception to cater to people want to adopt, a large dinning room, two social areas with a snooker table (the balls are holographic because I want them to be) and the staff area with all its accommodations including their own bathing areas for men and women and also offices but no bedrooms, the orphanage has all the necessities with 10 staff with 5 that live in each side of the building, it's split in half with the girl dormitories in one side and the boy dormitories in the other, the 5 male and 5 female staff members living in their corresponding areas. [/size]
The two heads of the orphanage that are in charge of the staff are grandma lil and aunt Sophie (they have beds in their offices) who are both retired B ranks adventurers but everyone knows there real strength is of at least an A rank, maybe even more, so even the king (and emperor) acknowledges the orphanage in the capital and nobody dares to offend it. Especially since professor Sinnil came from here, and everyone can tell he is a high ranking expert to become vice head of the academy.
Fenix walked past the reception and signed himself back in, this shows that all the 100 plus kids are in.
Fenix went straight to granny Lils office to inform her about leaving after the aptitude exam.
He was greeted by a hug by both grandma Lil and Aunt Sophie".
"D-d-damn It" he gave up struggling, they know he is a capable A rank expert but even with his strength he can't escape. "Monsters..." He mumbled as he was still catching his breath from running all the way her and their hug was exhausting him even more. Aunt Sophie and grandma lil let go "haha we knew you'll be going to the academy soon, but this quick, haha, when did you reach A rank you little monster! Damn now he knows we're S rank or above..."
Said grandma lil, although she likes being called grandma, she still looks healthy with good curves and looks like she's middle aged, you can even say she's beautify if your into older women. Aunt Sophie looks like a top class model with a mature look any man would fawn over! "I'd feel sorry for any man that ends up with these two..." Thought Fenix.
"To think they got the message before I even arrived, definitely monsters..." Fenix shivered at the though of being one of their enemies.
"So young but so strong, you'll definitely surpass us one day, hey, you may even become as strong as that infamous Pheonix, ho, ho, ho, my Fenix, becoming a legendary figure in the multiverse and ruling over countless planes"
Aunt Sophie just entered one of her fantasies once again, thought Fenix.
-----Boys POV-----
Aaron: " Did we just see, what I thought we saw, Drexel?"
Aaron said with disbelief, his sandy blond hair and blue eyes which make him look like he is from noble descent shook with his head in discontent.
Drexel:"Holy-- I think so, that criminal was apprehended by that boy, the criminal was supposed to be someone that just arrived at A rank and gone crazy after trying to explore some of the magic and dragon continent..." Said Drexel a muscular toned brown haired boy, with an average face.
James: "Yeah he's been going crazy and killing anyone that stops him, so what? We could have done that if we wanted, after all we DID get accepted into THAT academy after all... I mean, we even got accepted into the Pheonix house!"
James said jokingly, he looks slightly chubby with a baby face but girls will always defend him because of his adorable looks. He has green eyes and black hair, with slightly tanned skin.
Aaron:"I guess that does mean we have potentials to be A ranks some day since you need to be B rank to even utilise a mecha.... But right Howe were E except for Drexel who is a C, but he is a prodigy, they only excepted us because of our theoretical knowledge being above average and because Drexel 'insisted'..."
Drexel: "let's just forget about that monster, we have to board the ship to the academies island in an hour so let's just give a brief explanation about the man just getting unconscious, nothing about that boy since they won't believe us and will question us more, tell them we're going to the academy and were from the Pheonix division and to stop bother you if you need to..."
-----Roseberry orphanage-----
Fenix: "What?!"
Aunt Sophie: "We told them your capable but they insisted, they're wouldn't believe me when I told your rank is B but now your rank A.....there's around only 50 ranks A's in the continued ... So you'll have to take the aptitude text there, with most of the other students."
Fenix:"Urgh" Fenix groaned, he just wanted this over with and go back to trying to beat his record, 1.5 percent is too little.... or find a goal to achieve in this world.
