《Curse of Change (Hiatus)》Chapter 8 - ESP Combat Class
Advertisement
It has been 2 weeks since Johnny enrolled in Superbia Academy. He has learnt far more about the world, the government, common sense, his powers, and many others things than what the knowledge that was implanted into him when he was created. Johnny became closer friends with his roommates, Rick in particular. Today happens to be an extremely important day, at least to most of the students. Today was the day of the first ESP Combar Class!
=====Rick's POV=====
Today's the day! The first day of ESP Combat Class! I'm so excited! I wonder what's Johnny is like while fighting. I never got to fight him after all...
That kid...on the surface he may seem like an ordinary little kid, but I can tell: Johnny's so, so much more! I used my second ability, Mind Dive, on him. He seemed to have ordinary thoughts and worries such as homework, but as I went deeper, I was horrified: darkness. Everywhere. I then realized that Billy, Jonas, and I hadn't gotten through to him at all. He may treat us like friends on the surface, but deep down he doesn't acknowledge us in the slightest. On top of that, he noticed me! Johnny repelled my out of his mind and then warned me in the real world: "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Any deeper and you may have lost your sanity. Also, don't enter my mind again or tell anyone what you saw in there. Otherwise...I will kill you" he said this as his eyes glowed bright orange and he gave me a bone chilling smile.
I don't care! I will get through to him, and TRULY become his friend! I will thaw that frozen heart of his whether he likes it or not!
=====Third Person POV=====
Waking up at last, Johnny noticed Rick already in his uniform about to leave.

(Johnny) Where are you going? And where's Jonas and Billy?
(Rick) Ah! You're awake! They already went down to breakfast.
(Johnny) Why are you in such a rush?
Rick turns around and looks at Johnny and says 2 words:
(Rick) Combat Class!
Johnny's eyes widen, and a large grin forms on his face.
(Johnny) FINALLY!!!
Yelling this, Johnny begins to get ready and goes down to eat breakfast.
Some time later at the Superbia Dome, there is a large crowd of students chatting and looking around while waiting for their instructor to show up. Right on time, a burly man walks into the arena where the students are waiting. He has a military buzzcut with black hair, brown eyes, tanned skin with many scars, and wearing a miltary uniform. Johnny feels that he looks strangely familiar, and then realizes (after reading the man's mind) that he is Nicole's older brother!
(Instructor) Welcome to ESP Combat Class! My name is General Nicholas, and I will be your combat instructor this year. Before we begin, I need to get a few things straightened out.
Before beginning his speech, he glares directly at Jonas, sensing that he is a natural trouble maker.
(Nicholas) There are 3 rules when you have me as a teacher. If you have a problem with any of these rules, then you can either leave right now or fight me. If you win, you will have the right to change the rules I have made. Rule #1!! Obey my every command! If I tell you to jump off a cliff, you will do it and with a smile! Rule #2!! DON'T COMPLAIN!! If you complain I will beat some sense into you...through force. Rule #3!! You may only challenge me once a week to a fight! No complaints!
(Random Male Student) Meh, why should I listen to YOU? You're just a weak human!

In response, Nicholas blurs and reappears in front of the student holding him in the air by the neck. Dropping the student on the ground, he turns around and grins with horrifying intent.
(Nicholas) That's why. Don't think just because you can use ESP you are hot shit, someone like me, with the right training, can beat the fuck out of you guys in the blink of an eye! GOT IT?!?!
(Students) YES SIR!!!
(Nicholas) Good, good.
Suddenly, Nicholas noticed a young boy sitting around yawning. He had white hair and ghostly white skin and appeared to be around 10 years old.
(Nicholas) Hey you!
Hearing the man's voice, Johnny looks up with a drowsy look on his face.
(Johnny) Me?
(Nicholas) YES YOU!! HOW DARE YOU ACT SO INSOLENT IN MY CLASS!! ARE YOU PICKING A FIGHT WITH ME?! ME, A TIER 2 WARRIOR?!?! IF IT'S A FIGHT YOU WANT I'LL GIVE YOU ONE!!
As the students are all thinking to themselves that they feel sorry for the little boy, they hear words that they never thought they would hear:
(Johnny) Sure, why not?
------------------------
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
Okay! Time to explain how the tiers work:
The numbers range from 0 to 20, with 0 being the level of a god and 20 being an ordinary person who doesn't know how to fight. There has never been a tier 0 before, and there have only been 2 tier 1 people in all of history. One of which was actually a human, which is why humans are regarded as the race with the most potential. Basically, a tier 2 warrior like Nicholas is among the 20 strongest humans in all of history, with him at rank 11. He is currently the 4th strongest human alive. I say 4th and not 5th because Blitz isn't human: he's an artificial lifeform. Anyway, for each tier you ascend, you gain 100 years onto your life span, with becoming a tier 0 makes you immortal. Also, the top 5 tiers have huge differences in power, such as a single tier 4 being able to defeat 100 tier 5's. Also, Blitz is currently a tier 1, almost tier 0, but due to his other 270 personalities being sealed, he is currently incapable of releasing his true power. I will go into more detail in the future chapters. Thanks again for reading, and I hope you are enjoying the story! Also, a school tournament WILL occur, I just don't know when. Thanks again! - MultiBlitz15

Lief is the Prince in the city of Thright. Thright has been forgotten by the rest of the kingdom as it resides in the outer region of the Forgotten Forests.The Forgotten Forests is a region where once you enter you can't leave though normal means. As soon as the Huzina Kingdom got word that the City of Thright had moved they had little choice but to mark them off as dead... Add that to the fact its been hundreds of millions of years since then it's not really shocking... However, if you were to tell this to one of the members of Thright City they would probably laugh in you face, as they only moved here a few hundred years ago...Outside of the Forbidden Region of the Forgotten Forest...Kingdoms have declined and the old sects have vanished. Alchemy, Enchanting and many, many techniques have been lost over time... If you were to compare the City of Thright to the current Empires Dynasty?Just one commoner of Thright could completely destroy it within a day, but luckily for the Emperor, the City of Thright have no choice but to stay.As for Leif? Well, he's currently 10 years old and should by now be at the Low Earth Realm, but born with corrupted meridians he is unable to cultivate so he is stuck in the first realm of the Mortal realm.However, Liefs destiny was never confined to this forest. 18+ due to foul language and bloody scenes. RPG aspects start at the end of chapter 12. Currently on break for a while, I'll continue with this, just not right now. I'm unsure when I will continue writing this.
