《High school life in a world where everyone has superpowers》Chapter 15.5: Gossip.

A new poster had erected on all the bulletin boards, the construction and cheering teams had both be finalized. Although, there was confusion over another change they made.
"So, wait... Shouldn't Silence be in this contest? I swear our teacher let her leave lesson early because of it," Camo asked, going through the list once more just to check. His eyebrows furrowed as he focused intently.
"'Silence'? Who... Wait, her? Yeah, she should be here," one of his friends remarked, pointing at a name that said 'Mellisa Shard (???)'. After reading it he joined his friend's confusion.
"Huh, that's her real name? So why isn't her nickname there? Everyone else's nickname is..." he replied, starting to distract himself.
"Wait, didn't tons of schools do this last year? I seem to remember that the guy who got second in the cross-country last year did the same. Also, a lot of them did that in the first race, didn't they?" his friend replied, a smile forming on his face as his eyes looked up to the orange-tinted sky.
"Of course you'd know that... Anyway, so are you saying that they're allowed to hide those things? If so, why do they even post any of them?" Camo asked, his brain fried from the whole week of struggling in every lesson.
"I think that it's a one per year sort of thing, I have no idea why, though... It shouldn't matter anyway if 1st High's team has anything to say about it. They still have Newton to destroy her with. I don't even want to think about 3rd high's team..." his friend replied, shuddering as he tried to remember last year's event.
"I wouldn't be so sure, knowing her power, but meh. The picks seem pretty good this year, though picking Lead instead of Graphite was probably a bad idea..." Camo said, doubting the construction team's designer.

"Probably luck of the draw or something. We ended in 93rd place last year, so I doubt we'll do much worse this year," his friend stated, shaking off Camo's doubts.
Whilst focused on the sky, the friend finally realized how late it was. Telling Camo one last thing before leaving, "Snap! It's this late already? My opinions similar to yours, but they still need to do their work against their competition. Have a good weekend, my sister's going to kill me anyway..."
With his friend's departure, he disappeared out of the school gate soon after.

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse. Arrows Through Reality, often called Arrows or ATR, is the world's first full-immersion Virtual Reality game, a MOBA by Granduon incorporated that didn't blow its competition out of the water, but did provide a new entry point that had millions trying their new game. Two years later, the player base has only grown, and everybody knows the most effective tactics... but while a cutting-edge AI supposedly runs the game's balance, it hasn't patched anything a single time. Well, the most effective way to do anything is subjective, right?
