"Alright look uh...what's your name ?"
"ROKORO!"
"Alright Rokoro, before you go off trying to beat the crap out of me, I should warn you of my unique ability
"AND WHAT'S THAT !?"
Soro looked at him in the eye with a brave smile on his face.
"I can control fire and water and wind and I can also shrink someone to the size of an ant and step on them"
"YEA RIGHT THAT'S BULLSHIT NO ONE CAN USE MORE THAN ONE ABILITY"
"Yeah well, my ability has a lot of exceptions you see..."
"ALRIGHT THEN HOW ABOUT WE FIND OUT WHO'S ABILITY IS STRONGER !"
["Oh boy, I thought my bluff would scare him but it provoked him even more, this guy is too dense, I have to try something else"]
Soro looked behind him and simply stared without blinking an inch as if he had seen a ghost, Rokoro eventually turned around from the curiosity of what Soro was looking at only to find that he had been looking at a wall the entire time, he turned around again and Soro was nowhere to be found, he had completely fled the area as soon as Rokoro had turned around to see what he was looking at.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU COWARD!"
He began to blindly run across the corridor hoping to find where Soro went but he could not catch a trace of him, Soro could not have gotten very far in such a short period of time due to his poor physical level, and yet it was as if he had hastily sprinted out of the area in a couple of seconds, he had to have gone somewhere. Soro leaned on the door against him as he closed it, he had luckily managed to get inside a random nearby classroom with a windowless door. All the other students in the classroom including the teacher stared at him as soon as he walked in, the students in the room began to whisper to each other while keeping an eye on him, soon after Soro heard a familiar voice call out to him.

"Soro ? What the hell are you doing here !?!"
A familiar looking mildly-short girl with light brown hair and eyes walked up to him.
"Ah Takimi it's you, what's up ?"
"What ? I should be asking you that you idiot, what are you doing in my classroom ?"
Soro scratched the back of his head as he grinned.
"Ah well you see..."
"You know what, I'm in the middle of a game right now so I can't be asked"
"Game you say ? that is quite my specialty, should I assist thou sister ?"
"What ? Why are you speaking like that ? and no I don't want my brother helping me play a game with my friends, it's already embarrassing enough that you're here"
"If that is what you wish then I shall comply, on one condition"
"And what's that ?"
"You check outside for me to see if someone is there"
"Why do you need me to do that, you can do it yourself can't you"
"Well you see, your brother's in big trouble and I need your help Takimi"
"Ugh jeez...fine as long as you leave right after"
"Agreed"
Takimi opened the door and turned both ways.
"There is no one around, can you go now ?"
"Are you sure ?"
"YES FOR GOD SAKE I'M SURE !"
"Alright alright no need to get angry, should I buy you a snickers ?"
Takimi glared at Soro as she growled, she then grabbed him by the arm and threw him out the door with great power, Soro hit his back against the wall and fell down in the corridor.
"Agh!, a little harsh don't you think ? oh she already shut the door"
A large rumble began to surround the area he was in, shortly after footsteps of a person could be heard.
["Ah crap, 80% man is back, what was his name again ? cockroach or something ?"]
Soro got up from the ground and wiped the dust off his trousers, he then turned turned his body around to the opposite direction of where the sound was coming from and began to run, however something did not feel right, although his legs were moving he could not feel the ground beneath his feet, it was as if he was being held in the air, he turned his head around only to spot the enraged face of Rokoro who was gripping onto his shoulders.

"DID YOU THINK I WOULDN'T FIND YOU !?!"
["Shit..."]
Rokoro then lifted him up higher to the air and positioned his body straight.
"Woah woah let's relax there buddy, we can settle this like gentlemen"
"LIKE HELL WE CAN!"
He launched Soro down the corridor as if he were throwing something as light as a ball. A blonde student with short hair surrounded by two girls showed up next to the wall Soro was about to crash on. Just as Soro was about to reach the group the blonde man noticed him headed this way and put his right hand out. Shining white ropes with a yellow glowing aura began to materialize out of thin air and tangled around each other to form a mattress shape, it then levitated and caught Soro just before he reached the blonde man. He walked slightly forward and looked at Soro with an annoyed expression on his face.
"You little shit, you nearly hit me with your unpleasant body, how dare you even make me use my extraordinary ability on scum like you"
Rokoro who was standing at the other side of the corridor began running towards him with an angry look on his face getting ready to punch the blonde man.
"WHO SAID YOU COULD HELP HIM YOU ASS HEAD !?!"
The blonde man looked at Rokoro dead in the eye as he spoke with an annoyed tone.
"You are going to regret those words you imbecile..."
The blonde man put his hand up once more, glowing ropes started to materialize around Rokoro, they tangled around his arms and legs and tightly restrained him. Rokoro attempted to struggle out of the binding but it had no effect, his movement was limited to only his head.
"Is this all you got ? you dare attempt to attack me with a puny ability such as that ?"
The girls who were with him before began to speak.
"Come on Toumo let's go already "
"Yeah, the movie starts in 2 hours, and you promised you would watch it with us"
The blonde man smiled.
"Alright ladies I'll be with you in a minute, first let me take care of the pest who nearly landed on me"
The bind of ropes that had caught Soro had now started to wrap around him tightly, the man raised his hand up in the air and began to materialize floating ropes around his hand, the ropes began to tangle into a shape of a giant spear.
"Now to give you your punishment"
Soro tried to struggle out of the binding.
["What the hell is wrong with him, is he trying to kill me or something, I've already been to the hospital for a week I don't wanna return there again"]
The blonde man shot the spear out of his hand as it flew directly at Soro with a tremendous speed.
["I should of just stayed in class"]
The spear pierced through the rope made mattress instead of Soro him self, simply because Soro was no longer there, he had completely vanished from the area.

Kind’s Kiss
MAGIC DOESN'T KILL, NOT BY ITSELF. IT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. Jessica DeRidder is a substitute teacher and mage in hiding, her daughter Ellen a killer on the run. Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark. Though complete it is still a work in progress. One reviewer described it as 'Buffy meets Sabrina, as done by Tarantino'. I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)
