Mr. Smith had returned to his lecture going in to more detail on how these rankings worked in society and what benefits could come with them. Most of the benefits related to higher positions in society. There was not any real discrimination between the rankings but there were times when those in different power rankings would but heads, it was unavoidable.

"The most trouble you will see when it comes to power rankings will be in the year end tournaments. The seniors are always watched like hawks by the universities. This added stress for scholarships causes a fair amount of disagreement. You all will not need to worry about any of those, your sophomore tournament is much more relaxed. For those that wish to compete for law enforcement or even hero jobs it is an invaluable chance. Those of you with other positions have opportunities to join in the trivia tournaments, art gallery tournaments, entertainment tournaments, and so on. You will receive a print out of the twenty different tournaments you can now participate in." This was also new news to Asher who only could find basic knowledge on these events due to his second set of memories.

In any means these tournaments seemed to be a great way to learn and find a path to the job he wanted.

The lecture lasted another few hours going in to more details on the history of what had transpired to get to the place their society was today. Once the bell rang it signaled that it was time to eat lunch. "Hey Asher, come and eat with me! I brought a triple serving of lunch so that I could share it with my new friends." Art didn't even wait for a response and instead grabbed Asher's arm to bring him off to the cafeteria.

The hallways were a bit packed with students but not enough to stop them from walking along without trouble. Their class made their way out the doors, "Hey why aren't you all moving? We only have half an hour to eat." Asher tried to push past some students who were standing in front of him not moving. "Hello? What's with you?" The two students weren't even blinking.

Feeling that Art's grip was also frozen Asher looked behind him only to see that Art was glancing behind them completely stopped. "Umm Art?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry please don't look at me." The girl's sweet melodic voice was trembling as she spoke. Looking up from the ground the slender legs rose to a scaly green thigh. The blue and white striped dress fit this girl's figure perfectly. Purple hair flowed down to this girls waist. She held her arms close to her trying to hide more green scales that seemed to be growing over most of her body. She had longer pointed nails that were more easily described as claws.

Asher looked up and saw her face was as perfect as any Greek goddess he had seen in Greek history books. Her face was free from the green scales but her eyes had a strange golden glint. She looked tearful but seemed to be stuck when Asher looked her in the eye.

"Are you OK? What's wrong?" Asher was worried seeing the girl in this state since she had just come out of the same classroom as him. She seemed very familiar; he swore he had seen her somewhere before. "Oh, you were one of the students that got your evo shot today! I got mine too happy birthday!" She still did not react to him even though he was looking her right in the eyes.

"Hey are you stuck too? What's up with everyone?" This must be how things really were, "I knew you all hated me… nothing has changed." Asher pulled himself free from Arts grip and Walked away from those that were stuck in place. He headed up towards the school's roof which was also an available eating spot. It was better to eat there alone than be tormented down in the cafeteria.

Once Asher had left the girl started to move again. She was thinking to herself too fast, what had just happened. Since I got this power anyone that looks at me is stuck like they are stone, but I was stuck when I looked at him….I saw my own reflection in his eyes. The shock and realization was plain on her face. She had thought herself cursed when the doctor had told her that she had the super power called Medusa. That no one had gained the power before but it consisted of a physical shift which changed her body traits to add some qualities of the mythical monster medusa. She also had eyes of Medusa included in this that stopped those who looked upon her in their tracks.

The doctor had sent her to class one because her ability could cause a huge amount of trouble in daily society. What if she was looked at by a passing driver? There would be a car crash. This simple fact placed her in the higher ranks already. She would need to master this power and figure out how it worked perfectly.

Her heart was beating faster than it ever had before, she was still feeling crushed by her unlucky superpower but for some reason this boy who had also gotten his evo shot today had made her stop in her tracks. She could barely contain herself. Turning to rush after him her actions caused the others that were frozen in place the ability to move again.

"Ahhhmm finally, I can move! Asher, wait up!" Art ran full steam after Asher and the girl that was now going towards the roof as well. He was not sure what had just happened but he had a bad feeling that there was a lot about to happen. What did this girl intend to do on the first day in the new class? She had made them all stop frozen in the hallways and was now chasing after the one person she had not stopped. It must be revenge!
