Akira was walking to the station with a withered expression.
"You ok, there bro?", Akio asked him while wearing a wry smile.
Akira and Akio were both wearing black blazers, with a white long sleeve polo inside. The only difference between their outfits is that Akira was wearing a blue tie, while Akio was wearing a red one. Akio was carrying a male shoulder bag, while Akira carried a briefcase pulled up by his right hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, that guy's really cute!"
"The guy beside him looks kinda hot as well, but seems kinda scary."
"Should we approach them?"
Girls near them were gossiping about Akio and Akira who were standing at the station waiting for the train to arrive.
"Well, it's not like we can help it, right? You're abilities are more suited for support after all."
Akira looked like he was about to melt because of all the shock he faced.
"Uhh, well... You did only realized it after the exam...", Akio said with a quizzical expression.
____________________________________
"SUPPORT COURSE?", Akira unintentionally screamed with shock.
"Hiya!", Kana karate-chopped Akira yet again at the top of his head.
"Ouch!", Akira exclaimed while holding his head.
"Are you alright?", Megumi asked while patting his head.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me, you shitty aunt?"
"HIY-"
"STOP!", Akira screamed at Kana.
Kana stopped halfway before her hand could hit Akira's head.
"Akira, you do know what your abilities are, right?"
"Well, yeah. The barrier and the healing thing, what about it?"
"Do you really think with a skill that benefits others more, you should be fighting villains in the front line?", asked Kana.
"It's true that my healing ability may be good to apply on others, but my barrier ability could crush a skull or two."
"That doesn't change the fact that your abilities are better off for supporting heroes and saving citizens than fighting in the front lines. Akio had never used his full power on you, you know. If he did, your puny little shield wouldn't stand a chance."
"...but..."
"I know you've always dreamed of becoming a superhero, but being a support is perfect for you. And supports can be called heroes too, right?"
"..."
Akira clenched his fist and deeply exhaled.
"So what's gonna happen now?"
"Well, a week from now... You'll be attending classes with your new classmates. Your teachers will be teaching you how to support other people and how to rescue others. Once you graduate, you'll be given an exam to license you as a support and then you'll finally be out there and become the hero you always wanted to be."
"So it's like a normal university, except you're promised a job already.", Akira replied.
"That's true.", Kana answered.
"So did all of you know this from the start?", Akira asked Megumi and her friends.
"I did tell you we were in the S course, right?", answered Megumi who was for some reason still patting Akira's head.
"Yeah, can you take your hand off of my head first?", requested Akira.
"No!", Megumi replied while smiling.
'What's with this girl? She's acting so familiar.'
"Huh!?", Megumi exclaimed.
Akira suddenly folded his arms and lied down on the bed pulling Megumi's hand in between the pillow and Akira's head.
"Take off your goddamn hand!", Akira asked while glaring with irritation at Megumi.
"Nope!", Megumi answered showing a peace sign on her other hand while smiling closer to Akira's face.
'Oh, she's really cute up close.', Akira couldn't help but feel mesmerized for a while before he-
"Special technique: Head crush!", Akira suddenly jolted his head up and planned to crash it on Megumi's hand... when she suddenly pulled it off real quick while emitting pink glowing energy on her hand.
"You can't do that with my speed, you know?", said Megumi while smiling yet again.
"What is your ability anyways?", asked Akira.
"Well..."
"Sasaki Megumi from St. Tachibana highschool, correct? Your ability was some sort of body empowerment skill, from what I heard.", Kana commented while crossing her arms and staring at Megumi.
"Well, it's sort of like that... basically... My ability is that in a small radius from me, I can enhance anything, or give more life to it though it has a limit. I can also just touch something to enhance it.", replied Megumi.
"So that's how you were able to notice that fake piece of paper.", Akira told Megumi.
"Fake piece of paper? Is there something I should know about?", asked Kana.
"Well-", Megumi was gonna tell Kana about the incident with Keima in the university entrance when Akira suddenly interrupted her.
"I'm talking about that scammer I saw outside school."
"A scammer?", asked Kana.
"Yeah, there was a shitty businessman outside earlier who was trying to sell me a cheap new phone, but it turns out they were 2nd-hand crappy products.", Akira told Kana, with a nervous expression.
"Hmmm...", Kana was quite confused with what Akira said but...
"Right? Pink girl?", Akira said caling Megumi for help.
"Y-yeah! It was a blonde, ummm I mean gray haired old man! I don't think we'll be seeing him again, though...", Megumi also told her nervously.
"Hmmmm....?", Kana just stared at the nervous Akira and Megumi.
From her position, she already knew that Akira and Megumi were lying, but...
"Well, ok then. I guess there was no one out there who did something like make a fake admission ticket, am I right?", asked Kana.
""R-right!"", Akira and Kana replied trying not to let her figure out what happened.
"Then it's final. If both of you tell me it didn't happen, it really didn't happen."
Akira and Megumi had a wry smile on while hearing this then sighed with relief.
Akira then decided to ask Kana something.
"By the way, is me passing really fair?", asked Akira.
"What? We talked about this already, right?", answered Kana.
"...but that guy... he was defeated by Keima first."
Megumi stared at Akira and pouted a little.
"His giant robot stomped on the gray haired guy's robot, so wouldn't that mean it's his point, not mine?", asked Akira.
"Akira... When you were fighting there, how many of those robots the little brat controlled did you fight with?", asked Kana.
"...There were 8 or 9 of them... Wait... doesn't that mean...?"
"The brat already passed but still kept rampaging with his giant robot. We only needed you to take down 5 opponents, so the extra points he got wasn't part of the score.", Kana answered.
"When you crushed that guy's ticket, you immediately got that point, since defeating an opponent was supposed to be the goal.", continued Kana.
"Why was he able to manipulate those robots anyways? Weren't they supposed to disappear right after.", asked Megumi.
"The robots he took control of didn't disappear because the brat kept them in place with his energy nerves.", Kana explained.
"If it was a battle type exam, like the other course... Not only YOU would have faced those injuries.", Kana continued while turning her face to Akira.
"I don't understand though... this chick, Keima, that vine guy, they all seemed so strong... why were they chosen in the support exams?"
"Hmmmm... To start off, Sasaki-san, why don't you show him why?", requested Kana.
"Mm!", Megumi who was still holding Akira's head, suddenly made her hand glow of a pink light...
"W-what the?", Akira was shocked when he noticed...
His vision suddenly improved greatly, his sense of hearing, sense of smell, and his movements seem to have been enhanced.
"I told you my ability can enhance someone or something... Since my ability can be 'shared', it's classified as a support ability.", Megumi explained as she finally let go of Akira's head.
"The brats ability was only limited to machines, meaning if he was caught in a room without any machinery, he's nothing but a normal child. And also, if he can manipulate robots to form into a powersuit, he can also do that to others.", Kana also explained.
"The vine user can restrain enemies, and with his ability to make everything he touch grow spikes, he can turn heroes into untouchable warriors.", continued Kana.
"That explains a lot...", Akira said as he looked at his clenched fist.
'Binding enemies, sharing their abilities, supports seem to be ones who can help people with abilities like Akio.', thought Akira.
'My ability could not only protect others, but I can also save them from imminent death. If someone like me were forced to fight in the front lines, there's a possibility that lots of people who I could have saved might die without my help.'
Akira then turned to the other girls behind Megumi
"What about you girls?", Akira said asking the girls behind Megumi.
"...", Koka seemed hesitant to answer and tried looking away.
"A pretty boy delinquent! Scaaaarrryyy!!", Ai exclaimed as she hid behind Koka with slight tears on her eyes.
"...Hey..."
"Scaaarryyy!", Ai exclaimed again as she smudged her head on Koka's back.
'Ok..then.'
____________________________________
"It isn't about that...", Akira explained to Akio who were both walking on the road to the university.
"Then why are you so down?", asked Akio.
Akira looked at Akio's tie and then looked more frustated.
"I knew you were gonna be in a higher year than me and you had a very awesome ability and all, but... you didn't tell me that...
You're the top hero in the second years!", Akira exclaimed with an irritated expression.
"You mean top savior, not hero, bro. We wouldn't wanna be facing lawsuits, right? Besides, your abilities one of the best for supporting. You still could be the best support in the first years!", Akio cheered Akira.
"I have an intense urge to break your skull right now.", Akira replied.
They kept walking until they reached the academy entrance, where they both released their energies.
"So this is the academy, huh? It really is amazing even though I've been here already.", said Akira.
"Is it? I never noticed", replied Akio.
"KYAAAH! It's Ishikawa-kun!"
"It's Ishikawa-sama!"
"He's so cool!"
Female students from everywhere got all giddy and expressive from left and right as the two of them entered.
'Am I really that popular to girls?', Akira thought while blushing a little with a bashful expression.
"Who's that guy beside him? The one with the scary glare."
'...
Oh, they were talking about Akio... ', Akira sighed a sigh of jealousy but didn't mind.
What Akira didn't notice though, was that a lot of girls have been gossiping about him being hot as well, but he had a scary glare so they spoke about him quietly.
"Akio!", suddenly a very beautiful, angel like girl, approached Akio.
She had a slender figure, smooth pale skin like snow, blond smooth hair, and blue eyes that look like they're sparkling.
"Good morning!", Ana greeted Akio.
"Good morning to you as well, Ana.", Akio replied.
'Is this Akio's girlfriend? Seems like a really pretty rich classy girl. I can't really handle those types, might as well leave.'
Akira was planning to leave them when Ana suddenly greeted her...
"Ah! Good morning to you too, bro!"
"...
...uh yeah, morning. I better go now.", Akira replied.
"Please wait!", Ana pleaded.
"You're Akio's brother, right? See, I want to know more about Akio... but he's too serious and never wants to talk about himself.", Ana continued.
"And I also have to give you my gratitude as well, for saving all of us in the train."
"I think you should be talking about stuff like that with Akio. And the train thing... what about you force Akio to treat me sometime, how about that?", Akira suggested.
"Sur-"
"Ana.", Akio who kept his smile was looking at Ana with an intimidating aura.
"Who's treating who again?", Akio asked.
"Hiiih! Akio! I-I'm sorry!", Ana replied while trembling.
Ana was trying to appease Akio's anger as Akio told her off.
'They seem close, I should just leave them.'
Before Akira could leave Akio's side, a familiar voice suddenly called out to him.
"Ishikawa-kun!", Megumi who seemed to have only got there too, called out to Akira.
Ana-chan, looked at Megumi and Akio with a cold expression turning the situation backwards.
"Akio, who is she?", Ana cold as ice, asked Akio with an intimidating aura.
"I-I-I don't know her.", Akio replied.
"Really?", Ana tugged on Akio's tie and turned to the girl to look at her.
Two huge things were bouncing on her front as she ran towards them.
Ana looked at her chest and at the chest of the girl who was running and then showed a defeated look.
"I... lost.", Ana said as she knelt down to the ground and despaired.
Akio tried cheering her up as Akira went towards Megumi.
"Were you talking about me or my brother?", asked Akira.
When Ana noticed Megumi talking to Akira, she then sighed of relief, dusted off her skirt and came to greet Megumi as well.
"Oh, right. There's two Ishikawa-kuns in here, aren't there?", mentioned Megumi.
"If that's the case, how about I call you by your firs-"
"Good morning, are you bro's friend?", Ana came and greeted Megumi.
Megumi suddenly changed her expression to a pouting one.
"Yeah, I am...who are you by the way?", Megumi asked without her usual smile.
"I'm his brother's fiancee.", Ana said as she bowed to Akira.
'Fiancee?', Akira thought.
Akira then stared at Akio who was walking towards them.
"She's not your fiancee, isn't she?", Akira asked Akio with a deadpan expression.
"Yeah, she's not.", answered Akio.
"What? ...but I thought we already pledge ouselves together?", Ana asked Akio as both of them sparkled.
"She told mom she wants me and she answered yes so she thought I wanted to marry her.", answered Akio.
"...b-but you said you loved me!", Ana replied.
"...Well, that bit is true..."
Akio and Ana shined as both of them flirted with each other.
Akira could only look with a deadpan expression at them, while Megumi's eyes were shining as she smiled at their antics.
'I wanna go to class already.', Akira thought.
Akira and Megumi, and Akio and Ana, went their separate ways as the two first year supports walked up the left wing stairs to their classroom.
"It should be right here... support class 1-2... Here we are!", Akira exclaimed as he found their class
"I wish Koka and Ai would also be in our class."
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Akira was about to open the door, when Megumi said that.
"Them, huh?"
"Is something wrong?", Megumi asked.
"Ah, it's nothing."
'I don't think I'd get along with them.'
Akira finally opened the door and gets in.
"Megumi!"
"Megu-chan!"
Suddenly, two girls called out to Megumi as they walked towards her.
'Ah... I should have known.', Akira thought to himself as he entered.
He left Megumi to speak to her friends as he looked for a seat in the classroom full of new classmates.
To the left side, sat the dark skinned guy with dreadlocks talking to a guy with light blue upside down heart like hair who had a deadpan expression on his face.
Behind them, sat a large muscular guy, with brown spiky hair arguing with a guy with messed up black hair and thick eyebags who was obviously asleep while a girl with red hair tied up to a ponytail laughed at them.
At the middle, sat a girl with long light violet braided hair reading what seems to be the school's rulebook. Behind her, was a guy with gray curly hair who brought a whole canvas and paint materials and was painting something with an exagerrated emotional expression.
The next seat was a bald guy and a long haired guy who had really long bangs that covered his face, seemingly bickering.
The seat behind them were two girls, one of which who had dark green messed up hair seemed to have a look of irritation as the curly black haired with dyed brown ends girl who tied her blazer to her skirt and wasn't wearing her ribbon laughed.
The seat in front of them had three girls chatting on it. One was a girl with dark grey hair who seemed to show class and elegance, the other girl seemed to have short crimson hair, while the last one had medium length black hair and freckles.
At the very front of the last column and the first row sat a very familiar face playing with a PSP.
"Yo!", Akira greeted the person.
"So morons like you pass, huh?", Keima mockingly asked while still playing.
"Cut me some slack here, you almost killed me back there you know.", replied Akira as he put his bag behind him and sat down.
"We should really sit at the back. I don't really like being in front.", Akira suggested.
"Who died and made a puny inbred hero king?", mocked Keima.
"Says another puny inbred hero.", replied Akira.
"Aunt Kana told me all about you. About how you were also an 'inbred hero' who only figured out about the hero world recently.", continued Akira.
"That old witch...!"
"How'd you know about hero stuff anyways? I never heard a single thing about a single hero when I got here."
"I'm not a fool. I know that doing research should be one of my initial actions. If I don't know anything about the world I plan to live in, how will I survive?", answered Keima.
"I mean how'd you do it? It's not like you could just search stuff about a secret hero training agency anywhere."
"The witch gave me some books for reference."
'That shitty aunt... She should've at least helped me too...'
Akira then turned his attention to Keima's PSP.
"What are you playing?"
...Keima stopped playing for a second and looked at Akira at the corner of his eye then played again.
"Dungeon Warriors."
"Oh, I've played that with my brother. I'll bring my PSP next time."
"...
Do what you want."
Akira felt relief seeing that the rampaging Keima from back then, had now been conversing with him normally.
A dark blue haired student entered the room, Megumi and her friends sat behind Akira and finally the bell rang.
*RRIIIINNGG*
From outside the class, entered a tall teacher wearing a whole knight armor.
"It's Sir Knight!"
"I can't believe he's actually in front of my eyes!"
The students were all amazed to see who their teacher was, except for a few figures.
"So, who's he?", Akira whispered to Keima.
"I heard your royal question, my royal highness!", the teacher suddenly said calling out to Akira who was whispering to Keima.
"I am Sir Knight, a support hero, known to have taken the most damage to protect heroes! With my ability to copy the hardness of the stuff I touch, I was able to prevent heroes from being shot by gunshots, sword strikes and much much more!", boasted the teacher.
Everyone was amazed to hear this except for the same few figures.
"...but enough about me introducing myself to you. Let's all start introducing ourselves to one another! You, your highness, start!", the teacher ordered as he pointed towards Akira's direction.
"Say your name, age, your ability and your preferences for... a lover.", the knight posed with a flower that came from nowhere as he said the last phrase.
Akira showed an incredulous expression, then stood up, put his hands on his pockets, and with his normal glaring expression introduced himself:
"Akira Ishikawa, 18, I have the ability to conjure small barriers and heal people and stuff."
The classmates all woo out of amazement.
"Isn't that just the perfect skill for supporting?", the guy with the dreadlocks commented.,
"Withhhh abilities like that, who'd need me...waaaa!", said the long hair, long bangs guy while crying.
"He's also known as the amateur who saved more than thousands of your highnesses in a day! With his barrier ability, he prevented a bonb from exploding and healed everyone in a train at once!"
Everyone applauded and was amazed.
"That's what a real support is! You should come to our gym!", suggested the large muscled guy.
"You're truly a holy individual.", the bald classmate complimented while pulling up some prayer beads and doing a praying pose.
"Seems like a great guy to prank!", the girl with curly hair teased.
"Go, Ishikawa-kun!", Megumi cheered.
Akira only had a distasteful look on his face and looked like he was really embarassed but wasn't obvious with the glare on his eyes.
Koka and Ai turned their eyes towards Akira and looked a bit guilty.
"Okay, okay. Next, you!", the knight decided to pick the students randomly and make them introduce themselves.
"Koka Kawai, 18, my ability is that in a small radius near me, I could weaken stuff for a time. I could also just touch an object and make it weaken.", the long haired dark skinned Koka introduced herself.
"She's known to have saved kittens from a truck by jumping in front of it, while snatching the kittens, weakening the truck, slowing it down before it could hit them.", said the Knight.
"Kokachi has always loved cute things!", Ai said while smiling.
"Your love for kittens has inspired my new work!", the curly haired guy said while sparkling with an exaggerated serious expression.
"Koka's so awesome!", cheered Megumi.
"Keima Nakamura, 16, I can manipulate machinery and robot stuff."
"Isn't he the one who...?", the girl with black medium length hair wondered.
"Wait, isn't the one behind him the one he fought with in the exams...?", the guy with the messed up hair, who was laying his head on the desk asked.
"He's known for risking his life trying to fight a group of tall and strong delinquents to protect a small child."
'Keima... huh?'
______________________________________
Akira was inside the principal's office that looked expensive as he wore a patient's attire.
"Auntie, can you tell me more about what happened to Keima and why'd he hated people who glared so much?"
Kana stared at Akira who was showing a serious expression, and decided to tell him about what actually happened to Keima.
"Akira... You see that little brat was..."
Kana told the story about what happened to Keima with a serious expression.
(Kana heard all about what happened to Keima from her sourcess, about how he was supposedly bullied, made to strip down to his underwear, forced to buy cigarretes for them and how they tried to force him to not take an acceleration exam to keep him as their toy.)
"He really stood strong, that brat. If I could, I would've just hit those stupid brats and get over it, but... I guess what I did was the right choice.", Kana answered.
Right after Keima passed out, his yellow glowing wire like lines attacked the delinquents and stabbed them, making them bleed one by one.
Kana saw what was happening and entered the scene with a few heroes.
They've been scouting Keima, who was seen by a few undercover heroes emitting his energy. They decided to call for help to the other heroes to help take care of the delinquents.
When they reached the place though, the delinquents were being attacked by a rampaging ability.
One of the heroes near her, a man wearing a black mask and a red hooded coat, pulled guns out of his gun holsters tied to his waist, and shot the yellow glowing lines one by one.
Shooting them made them stop moving and dissolve into nothing.
The other heroes, injected a sleeping drug on the delinquents and tied them up together.
"I'll be taking over here.", Kana said as she closed in on the delinquents and made her eye sparkle.
The delinquents glowed a violet light for a while then stopped.
"Shouldn't we punish them? For trying to assault their fellow classmate?", asked a man wearing a dark violet bodysuit, antennae that looks like power outlets on his head with launchers for his arms, and launchers for feet.
"As much as I hate what they tried doing to the brat, they already took enough shots for that.", Kana replied.
The delinquents were bleeding from different parts of their bodies, it didn't look too lethal, but they did have some minor injuries.
"I made them forget about the brat, that way this whole thing is taken care of.", continued Kana.
"... What about the little guy? Shouldn't you erase his memories? He still used his ability for his own selfish desires after all."
"...It's true... His ability did manifest because he wanted to save himself, but he has proved that he has a heroic will. Although he wouldn't be a great fighter in the frontlines. I believe that we should invite him to be a support instead.", answered Kana.
"Are you sure? He seems to be a bit mentally unstable."
Kana thought for a while, and made up her mind.
"...I think that someone out there might change him, especially this person I know. He'll probably be the one to save this little brat from the thorns that has been cast on him.", Kana replied.
"Let's just see what happens.", she continued.
______________________________________
'I heard aunt Kana asked a hero to train him to control his ability. He really did a good job there, seeing that he was able to control more than eight robots at once, while I still can only procure three shields. I was able to create a whole barrier one time at the train, but auntie told me it was just a rush of adrenaline.', Akira thought.
"I'm Mayou Chiyo, 18, I can make duplicate illusions out of anything I touch my foot onto!", the curly haired sexy looking girl introduced herself with a smile on her face and showing a thumbs up.
"She was able to save her friends from being kidnapped by making illusions of them!", Sir Knight added.
"She was trying to mess with my hair earlier.", the dark green haired girl commented.
"Shikaku Takumi, 18, I can create a small transparent eagle from my eye that takes over my eye sight."
"An archery master, his highness saved his father who's the mayor in their city, from a bullet by striking an arrow on it at the last second!"
"I am Iro Daichi! Art is my life! I'm 18, and I'm able to manipulate ink!", the guy with the curly light brown hair and the exaggerated look at the distance proclaimed.
"With his incredibly artistic ability, he protected an old woman from being robbed by a thief by shooting a large ink bubble at his face!", Sir Knight exclaimed.
"Watabane Izanagi, 18, teleport nearby.", the guy with messed up black hair, large eyebags and was slouching down lazily introduced himself.
"With his ability, he saved a bunch of window cleaners from falling down the building by teleporting outside, touching them and teleporting inside the building!"
"Megumi Sasaki~, 18~, I can enhance anyone and anything in a small radius and I can also just touch them to enhance them, though it has a limit.", Megumi enthusiatically introduced herself.
"Using her ability to enhance and strengthen, she was able to rescue her little sisters from falling off the mountainside!"
'So, that's what happened to her, huh?', Akira thought.
Both Koka and Ai cheered as she introduced herself.
"I'm Mizumi Hana, 18, I can melt into liquid and make others I touch melt into liquid as long as I have energy.", the girls with the freckles, and medium length hair introduced herself.
"Making the criminals melt into liquid, she was able to prevent a store thief from doing his deeds!"
"I-I-I'm Abe Ai, 17, I can make people fall in love with me or the things I touch for a limited amount of... twime!", the girl with the orange sidetail, now with a flower on her hair, carrying a cute lolita dressed doll introduced herself as she bit her tongue on the last phrase.
"A hostage situation occurred in their school, but she saved everyone by making the criminal fall for her pen and she then took hostage of her pen instead, because of her nobody was hurt!"
Megumi and Koka laughed at this.
"I'm Ken Takahashi, 19, I can control force in an area near me. Join our gym!", the large muscled guy with brown spiky hair introduced and advertised.
"He brought down lots of scheming punks in his school and saved the love of his life! What a romantic development!"
"Akarui Ryuu! 18! I have the power to shine! I believe holiness should stand before all!", the bald guy holding prayer beads and posing a praying position said while introducing himself.
"Raised as a monk in a nearby temple, he shined his light to an escaped convict that prevented him from running away!"
"Kimura Maiki, 18, I can spawn my beloved trees and plants.", the dark green messy haired girl said with an evil grin.
"Oohhh, so scary! She was able to protect a whole forest from illegal foresters by destroying their machinery with her spawning a tree."
"Kurokku Eiko, 18, I can slow down or stop movement in an area near me.", the girl with short crimson hair introduced with a slight smile.
"Because of her time stopping like ability, she was able to prevent a fire in her school from happening by stopping time near it and using a fire extinguisher before it could grow bigger!"
"I'm Sora Yoshida, 18, I can grow wings and fly!", the girl with a red ponytail introduced herself with a confident smile and with both of her fist clenched forward.
"Flying through the sky, she was able to save a couple who was in their car from a landslide, by carrying them away!"
"Sup! Nagai Kami! 18! I can make my hair grow longer and detach them into flexible, long rope like binders."
"Saving his girlfriend from being picked up by yakuza, he binded those scum and brought them to justice!"
"I'm aaahh Yurei Tomo, I'm 18, my ability is that I can release my soul for a few minutes, talk to ghhhoooosstts and be a ghost for as long as 30 minutes.", the long haired guy with really long bangs introduced himself with a ghost like demeanor, while seemingly about to cry.
"Ooookkkkkk! With his ghost-like ability, he haunted his delinquent neighbor who frequented bullying and extorting money from their classmates."
Keima stared at him with much more seriousness unlike his classmates who seem to be slightly scared of him.
"Good morning, dear classmates. I am Shimizu Mitsuko. I'm 18, and with my ability, I can procure orbs that spin around me that can be used to share the energy of mine, or others', to myself or other ability users. I can also make the orb fill with so much energy to release a small impact force. I'm looking for a nice, kind man as a suitor."
Akira only looked at her with a quizzical expression, but some of the other guys without girlfriends seemed to cheer and some got flustered.
"A life-like your highness! This princess like girl, used her energy orbs to beat the heck out of delinquents who tried harassing a girl! Is she really princess-like after-"
"Sir?", she asked him with an intimidating smile.
"N-never mind! And now for one of the top passers! Introduce yourself!"
The students started getting noisy after each introduction, when suddenly...
"Before I start, could I ask you all to be quiet! This is still a university!", the light violet braided hair girl commanded her classmates as she stood up.
Everyone stopped talking immediately as they said that, as if they were suddenly forced to stop talking.
"My name is Avaron Fujimoto, 18, and my ability is leading people, or simply the ability to stop their thoughts for a second and sword creation.", introduced the light violet braided hair girl with a serious expression.
"Also known as the second one who passed the exam, Avaron used her leading ability to stop a bank robber from shooting, and turned a bag she had into a sword to strike the robber's gun down."
"Woah, she's the second placer!?", exclaimed Kami.
"She's so strong and cool!", said Ai.
"Waaaahh! I'm probably just a speck of dust compared to you guys! Waaaahh!", cried Tomo.
"That's a pretty cool ability.", commented Eiko.
"QUIET!", screamed Avaron as she turned towards her classmates and sat down.
"And finally...", Sir knight said.
"Our last and final classmate who hasn't introduced himself yet, here's Kazuki Inoue! The first ever passer of the entrance exams!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly widen as the dark blue haired guy stood up and introduced himself.
"Kazuki Inoue, 18, inflation.", the dark blue haired guy who seemed to be a serious person introduced himself.
"He has saved more than more than one million people in one night!"
""""ONE MILLION!?""""
'One million...?', Akira thought.
"Don't underestimate his ability, since he's got just the right stuff in him. What Kazuki Inoue has done is something that not a single hero has done before....", Sir Knight Explained.
Everyone gulped, except for the serious ones when they heard about this and we're all curious about how he saved all those people by himself in one day.
"He....
...stopped a whole nuclear bomb just by himself."
...
"""""""""WWHHHHHAAAATTT!!???? """""""""
______________________________________
Most of the class 1-2 students looked all withered as they sat down on the chairs in the auditorium, listening to their principal, Kana tell a speech.
"One million...one million... one million", Nagai Kami kept repeating those words as he sat down next to Akira.
Having a classmate as powerful as Kazuki Inoue, all of them were discouraged and felt as if they met the final boss of a game already.
"What's so great about one million? That's too much work.", Izanagi commented who was slouching down while sitting as if he's about to fall asleep.
He was seated behind Akira, who was seated in front, beside Akira to his left side, was Nagai Kami, to his right, was Keima playing with his PSP.
"You don't understand. I was looking forward to become the top support in our class, since I wasn't accepted at the other course.", Akira told Izanagi while turning his head to him.
"That's so boring. All I want to do is sleep.", Izanagi replied.
Izanagi put his arms in a cross position and slept on the resting side of Akira's seat.
"Watanabe-san! Put your hands off Akira's seat! You should be listening to the speech our principal worked so hard for!", Avaron angrily scolded Izanagi.
" is so serious after all.", Sora commented with a wry smile who sat next to Avaron.
"I'm gonna fail.. I'm gonna fail... I'm gonna fail...", Yurei Tomo kept chanting, while seating with a fetal position on his seat.
"Don't be brought to the dark, brother! I'll pray for you!", the bald Ryuu said as he pulled his prayer beads and posed in prayed.
"Akarui-san! Get your feet off the chairs!", scolded Avaron.
"The world is at peace now.", Iro said while looking distantly to the left with an exaggerated smile.
"Hey, Kimura-san, do you have a boyfriend?", asked Mayou Chiyo.
"Trees are my sole lovers.", replied Kimura Maiki with an evil looking smile.
"Hahaha, you're so cute. How about you hook up with me, huh, babe?"
"W-w-w-what? We're both girls!", Maiki suddenly blushed and showed a cute expression.
"Hahaha! It was just a joke!", teased Chiyo.
"Don't... make jokes like that...", Maiki replied with a cute expression.
"Ahhh! You're so cute, Maiki-chan!", said Chiyo as she hugs her.
''''''Cute.... '''''', some of the guys saw what happened and realized how cute Maiki was although she sometimes looks scary.
The class seemed to stopped being as sad as earlier anymore as their classmates' antics amused them.
Everyone was chatting to each other, painting, playing games, while Avaron was scolding them.
'Well, wouldn't do me any better, if I kept sulking, right?', Akira thought.
He then started teasing Avaron with his other classmates.
"What's the matter, are you just angry because you can't have a boyfriend?", teased Akira.
"B-b-b-boyfriend?", Avaron was flustered as Akira teased her.
The other classmates just laughed at this, as Megumi just stared at the scene.
"Idiot.", Megumi whispered while pouting.
Suddenly, Kana announced something that caught Akira's attention.
"And now... for our second year representative, the top hero in his generation, Ishikawa, Akio!", Kana announced.
"Ishikawa?"
"Isn't that the same surname as that glaring guy?"
"Hey, do you know him?"
His classmates wondered when Akira's surname was heard.
Keima also asked Akira:
"Is he your relative?"
"...Uh well..."
Suddenly, a handsome figure, with kempt curly hair, walked up the stage and stood at the podium, as soon as everyone saw her figure.
"KYYAAAAHHHH! It's Akio-sama!"
"HE'S SO COOL!"
"HE'S SO HANDSOME!"
"I LOVE YOU, ISHIKAWA-SAMA!"
Girls started cheering for Akio, and suddenly a group of girls from the other courses seats, pulled out a large paper, that says 'Akio-sama, please marry me!'.
Akio could only respond with a wry smile as the girls kept cheering for him.
Ana was sat in the second years' seats and had an irritated look on her face.
"Hey, they're cheering for you.", teased Kami as he smiled at Akira.
"Shut up!", Akira bashfully answered.
Keima snickered as Akira was teased.
After a few while, Akio finally asked for the audience's attention and started speaking:
"We have all been working hard for our positions and climbed up the highest bridges, the tallest staircases and jumped over the highest obstacles with our own strengths.", proclaimed Akio.
"With our own two feet, we witnessed the strength of our abilities get even stronger with each step. We may have had a few people in our lives push us to walk up to higher ground, but we never ceased to use up all of blood and sweat to keep pushing forward.", continued Akio.
"It is true, that we are not all born equal. Some of us have been given more incredible abilities, abilities that may make us into better heroes than others... but you have to remember...
...that a piece of metal, won't become a sharp sword, without someone giving his all into hammering it.", Akio said while looking into Akira's class's direction.
"A metal sword is useless against a wooden meteor, a ball of fire is useless against a wave of water, and a small lightning shock is useless against a devastating punch...
There are lots of people who will pull you up or push you higher there. If we can harness our unique abilities, and believe that we will become even stronger, that's when we finally become truly powerful...", continued Akio.
People started applauding Akio, and Kana was planning to stand up and walk to Akio, who should have finished his speech.... but suddenly he added:
"Our companions from the support course is there to aid us, and if we ever need help, they'll be there to give us power...", Akio continued.
'That Akio...", thought Kana.
"I believe in not only in the people and my friends from the savior course, but also to those students who gave their all into passing the support couse.", continued Akio.
"Their strengths will be our strength one day, so remember to treasure them. That is all."
The whole student body clapped at Akio's speech as he walked down from the stage.
"And now, the third year representative...", as Kana called for the third year representative, Akira sat there looking all tired.
"Heh, seems like you got an awesome brother, don't you, Akira?", teased Kami.
"Yeah, yeah... whatever...", Akira replied.
'That was so damn cheesy, Akio.', Akira thought with a bashful expression.
'Well, that's just the way he is.'
From behind all of them, sitting alone in a row, sat Kazuki Inoue, who was glaring at Akio with an intimidating expression.
"Ishikawa...
....Akio.", whispered Kazuki while still keeping that intimidating expression on his face.

Took me awhile to make this... btw, most of the names, I made them using google translate or used sites like 2000 names and before the surname. Check them out. I had to think of some support abilities as well, and that took me a load of time. Next chapter, action will be back and the characters' weaknesses will be shown.
Lastly, I want to make a poll about whether I should just turn 'bro' into onii-chan or nii-chan. Since that seems a bit cuter or better.
Btw, if you haven't noticed, Ana is older than both Akio and Akira. She's 19. The only reason she wanted to call Akira, 'bro' is because she believes she's Akio's fiancee and Akira's her brother-in-law.
I tried putting in some of the other stuff that I haven't explained but I still couldn't slide it in. I promise I'll do it the next chapter. Explanation about the stuff Akio told Kana to look at in chapter 2 and about Megumi running away in chapter 4.
