"No!! Tou, don't leave me!" I looked at the bastard who killed Tou, "I WILL KILL YOU! YOU WILL BE MURDERED BY ME, NO ONE ELSE! I WILL KILL YOU!" he simply laughed, and left, without a trace.
Rewinds Time
Hello, my name is Johnny Wellington, I'm also known as the child who is an adult. Ever since I was the age of 2, I understood things most people didn't understand untill they were 18 years old, hence my title. My foster parents died while I was only 4, on November 28, 2028, only 5 days before my birthday. When it was my birthday, no one came, I was alone, as usual, but then something strange had happened.
Two men, dressed in black, busted open my home's door, and said, "Hey! Happy birthday Johnny! Now, as a present, please come with us!" I didn't want to go, I liked my life as it was, but they forced me to go with them nonetheless. They were apart of the 'Government' a group of people who train people to become Assassins.
5 years has passed since then, and now I'm finally going to school! I've joined the Jinchuki School for Skilled Children, in Tokyo,Japan, and ever since, I've had a habit of speaking Japanese every so often. When I entered the school, a boy name John friended me. "Hello ! I'm new here, how about you?" this was my first time speaking to someone besides those two men. "Uh...uhm... Konnichiwa." and he laughed. "No worries friend, I know english, I came from the U.K." he seemed nice. We heard a bell, so John and I went to the assembly hall.
"Hello everyone here! I am the school council president, Tou Kajo! You all can call me Tou, however. Now, we are going to start our assembly with the new children joining us on the right of me, and the others on the left." and we did as said. The students from last year looked at us new ones, and smiled saying, "Good luck!" and I was confused. I then saw a smirk on Tou's face, and I instantly understood why there was a crevice on the ground. "This is a trapdoor." and with that, Tou flipped a lever. I managed to dodge it, and three others, but everyone else died, save for the previous years.
"Sorry about that, it is just protocol, to kill off those who are not talented. Now, you guys are the only ones left, and each of you have a powerful talent, because you managed to dodge the first trial! Now you can continue your school life normally, but every month we will have another trial, to make sure you are useful for us. Now, let me explain how this school works. We have seperate classes depending on age, so, if you are 13, you are in Class 1-X (where X is a letter) , if your 14 , 2-X , 15 , 3-X . We have 6 sections, from A-F , A being the most normal, and F , most abnormal, here are your positions.." and she handed everyone a seperate pamphlet, different then the others.

I was taken directly to 1-F , and it said if I was older, I would've been in 3-F , but since I was already underage, I was to be in 1. I was an assassin, after all, I was prepared for any encounter that was to occur.
I heard the bell for first period, so I went to our class, which was on the third floor, for seperate reasons, but I knew it was probably in accordance to these trials that are to be taken periodically . "Okay, I'm your teacher , you can call me Miki~Sensei, or Miki~Senpai! Let us take attendance. "
After Taking Attendance,
"Okay, so we have 3 new students joining us, would you please come up, and introduce yourselves?" and I stood up, along with two others, two of them I saw from the assembly. One was a girl, the other a boy. I was the first to speak. "Hello, my name is Johnny Wellington, I'm 10 years old, and was born on 3 December 2023. " and the girl showed a little smirk, but I didn't recognize her. She spoke next, in a cocky attitude. "I am Jennifer Gratenheim! Worship me young ones! My age is 13 and I was born on 29th August 2020, hope you all have a good day!" and then all that was left was the boy. I was getting a weird vibe from him. He was mute.
"H..he...hello I'm Kuiy Nudim , Im 17 years of age, and was born on the 2nd of July, 2016." and he was the first to go back to his seat. Everyone was amazed, mainly because of how old he was. He was the center of attention that day. The fourth period , which was lunch period. I brought two apples, taken from the government's headquarters, where I'm living , until I get a full-time job, programming maybe. While I bit into my apple, I noticed that Jennifer stared at me. "Oh, hello there Jennifer!" I said, trying to break the ice.
She simply nodded, looking at me, and said, with a smile, "Heh, that's nice! Hey, Johnny, can you follow me, I want to ask you something... in a more private place.." I was flustered , and dropped my apple. "Awww, well, okay." she had this weird aura around her, but I couldn't tell what exactly, so I decided to follow her, just to try and understand this, aura, I'm sensing. She took me to the school garden, which was empty at that moment. She showed a smile, but this one with a different vibe. "Well, as you may have guessed, I'm apart of the SPIRITS, and you at the moment are our prime target, Johnny Wellington, the boy wonder. It seems you don't understand anything yet, no matter, I shall take your Soul Emifer, and use it for myself. Now, let's see if you can survive this!" and she moved her hands in a weird way, and then, with a chalk, she drew a magic circle, which seemed pointless, because magic is theoretically, impossible.

She then jumped backwards, and said, "Come forth Yartsdra, and heed my call, it is feasting time!" and a very decorated spear materialized in the middle of nowhere. This spear was weirder than any other spear. It had a metal tip, probably made of gold, and the body was made of a material I couldn't recognize. Other than that, it's handle was titanium and crested with pink diamond, and its tip was around 0.1 nanometers in width, which is dangerously low.
She then attempted to stab me, but I managed to dodge it by mere inches. She then laughed. "That assasin crap wasn't all show I guess, no matter, you aren't strong enough young one!" and she came infront of me, instantly, and stabbed me, creating a hole in the middle of my chest. I could barely breathe, and I coughed out blood. "No, please, don't let my life end like this, I still need to avenge Emy! For Emy, I must survive, I will n-" and she kicked me, and I fell unconscious.
I woke up in the nurse's office. Tou was there, seemingly depressed. "What happened? the nurse saw you in the garden, and took you here directly, but how are you alive? You had a wound that even damaged your heart!" and I shrugged. "I have no clue, myself, but I'm going to have a guess here, and say it was magic." and she laughed. "There is no such thing as magic. Baka! Well, I'm going to leave you here, recover , so you can tell me about what happened later." and that was that, my first day in a school, my first day outside for the past 5 years. I knew one thing, and that is I must become more sharper. I then enrolled myself to a high Software Engineering company, and when I showed them my application they were impressed. They than asked me to edit there software to make it secure, and after 2 days, I made it perfect, and was hired, and put instantly into the security testing team, which was the 4th highest position according to the job, KamiZ Software, a worldwide brand.
After drinking my tea, in the middle of the night, I just finished my security testing , and it was a complete success, and business was booming. I managed to be able to pay my own fees, and rent my own apartment. I then tried to study up on what a Soul Emifer is, but I found no hope. I then decided to try out summoning it myself. Nothing happened at first when I tried applying pressure, so I tried a calm method, but that didn't work either. I then recalled what Jennifer did, and tried again. "Come forth, err... Yagrik, and heed my call!" and still nothing happened. I was totally stumped. I then knew I couldn't do this myself, so I tried to ask my old sensei, from the government, Hartsen. "Hey, Hartsen~Sensei! How do you activate a Soul Emifer?" and he was seemingly surprised. "You already heard about that? Well, let's just say, it has to do with Soul power, and will. I hope you can understand with that much, else we can't be acquaintances." and he hung up.
"Soul power you say? I got that when I heard the name 'Soul' in it, my god." but nonetheless, I tried doing what he said. I calmed myself down, closed my eyes, and simply thought about summoning it. With all my willpower, I couldn't chose what to manifest, and I had so many different things popping up in my head, when it summoned, and the dust calmed, I saw it. "This is... Yagrik? A rock?!" I didn't understand at first, but then it hit me. I was thinking about so many things, most likely however Soul Emifer's are made couldn't choose which, so it chose a rock. This probably can transform itself, but I just needed to try and understand how so. I then thought up a gun, a glock, and when I tried making it, half of Yagrik vanished, and a glock was in my other hand. "Wow! That's cool, but not magic, okay." and I knew what I was going to do. I was going to have a rematch with Jennifer.

The Ramayana - Lakshmila's POV
We have read The Ramayana as kids and always knew it to be the story of Rama and his consort Sita. Every character has an important role to play. But not all of them have found much importance is any of the version. One such character is Urmila and her story with Lakshmana. All versions mention Urmila's sacrifice as "Unparalleled" but none depicted it. This story is an attempt to present the story of Ramayana from Urmila and Lakshmana's POV. Note : This story is fictional. The characters are the same. This story is an insight of The Ramayana through Lakshman and Urmila's eyes. There would be Nobody's POV also. The events are the same but the depiction is part of fiction. Parts of the story is loosely based/inspired from Sita's Sister but I have taken creative liberty to give my character more edge and depth.
