John looks at me stupefied and also a bit scared. Maybe I really will find something out today.
"What do you mean with who am I? I should ask the same of you. I felt like I hit a metal wall with my fist. It hurt like hell. You don-"
I interrupt him and take a step forward while extending my field of power towards him.
"Talk now or die"
With that I increase the gravitational pull by a factor of 30 around his body. The metal screeches as the floor bends into the ground.
But John is unaffected by all of it and looks around in what seems to be genuine confusion.
"I ask again John, WHY ARE YOU UNAFFECTED AND WHO ARE YOU REALLY!?!?"
I shout the last part and increase my power even further and it envelopes the entire room.
The metal starts bursting at parts and the sound of tearing steel fills the air.
"Alex, I don't know why I'm unaffected but please stop, otherwise people will find out that we're here and training in fighting methods."
He looks at me with pleading eyes. I don't trust him, his fear when I asked him the first time had been legit. He definitely was hiding something. But I actually believed him that he doesn't know how he was able to nullify my powers. He would definitely have told someone about this method already because it would be a great discovery.
And because he actually seemed scared and confused about me using my powers without him getting crushed.
I still have some questions I want to ask him but before I could do that the door to my left explodes inwards and Rachel, Karif and Lane walk through the hole. Karif and Rachel instantly rush inside seemingly not being affected by my gravity as well.
Lane on the other hand stopped for one second and glared at me while getting considerable slowed down by pressure.
"Alex, stop this nonsense NOW!!!"
Che. Find out the truth of mess everything up with Lane? Sadly not a hard choice.
I stop exerting pressure and glare at John myself.
"Care to explain to me why you're trying to destroy the training room and everything above and below it?"
Unexpectedly John comes to my help.
"I'm sorry Lane, we wanted to try some of our strongest techniques but it escalated and we ended up with this. It's our fault, it won't happen again."
Lane looks around the destruction of what should be a failsafe room.
"Alex you destroyed a room covered in a couple feet of pure steel. You have grown a lot. But never, and I repeat NEVER do this again. It's hard enough to explain this to my father. I don't want to know what he tells his superiors. UNDERSTOOD? Both of you?"

"Yes Lane, it won't happen again" both of us say in union.
"Fine, I'll send in someone to repair this mess. You two should get back to your rooms and think about what you've caused."
With that she turns around and motions the other two to follow her.
"Thanks for the help, but don't expect too much from me. I still don't trust you John."
I still glare at him but he simply sits down.
"Everybody has secrets Alexandra. Mine are not for you to know. And although I want to know yours they are still just that. Yours. Nobody else's."
what is this? Why is he getting so philosophical all of the sudden. I think I need to revaluate him a bit.
Then he smirks a bit.
"Maybe we could clear this on a date?"
"Fuck you John. I don't care. Have it your way."
douche.
I turn around and collect my stuff in the corner and walk out of the multiple doors and to the hallway.
It's not important I will find other ways to beat them. And if everything fails I will just use the sample I have injected into them to destroy each and every one of them.
All the other students around me seem scared. Hushed voices talk of an earthquake or something. They can think what they want as long as they get out of my way.
And they do. I involuntarily had increased the amount of decayed smell my cells spew out. So many of them look my direction with a sick color in their face.
I don't care though. I just want to get to my room and be alone. Luckily I'm freed from normal classes from now on.
Well since two days ago actually. We had been told that had gotten enough "normal" education and that we wouldn't need any more of it. I had quickly liked the thought of no school since my old trait of skipping school had come out again.
It had been one of the fewer moments were I actually had been quite happy.
Me and the other five actually share a whole upper floor of the dormitories or barracks as most called them.
It was mostly so we could live away from the "normal" espers in the school.
On my way to my room I meet a lot of other students from the classes I had taken but almost all of them act as if they didn't know me in any way.
Not that I feel bad about it.
I quickly walk over the small path leading from the actual school building to the dormitories. Inside I climb the stairs to the highest floor for "special" students as it had been dubbed.
Slowing down I notice that Karif's door is wide open. Out of curiosity I look through it and find his room in total darkness.
It's not that abnormal for that to happen, it just meant he was cleaning his room using his shadow to scrub everything clean.
He was also happily singing some kind of German sounding sleeping song.

"Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht,
von Englein bewacht,
die zeigen im Traum
dir Christkindleins Baum.
Schlaf nun selig und süß,
schau im Traum ’s Paradies.
I slowly back off from the awkward situation and open my door two more to the left of Karif's room.
Nobody would think that my room would look the way it did.
It has a rectangular shape and three sides cannot be seen behind three bookshelves. My walls used to be white but at some point it changed to a light grey.
Inside I stuffed pretty much every single tv drama and written story I could find. As one of the special students we pretty much can have anything we want as long as it doesn't disturb our training.
I throw my vest and boots to my left.
My bed is squished in the far left corner and the tv I had bought some time ago about two meters in front of it.
Only the wall of my door is without any bookshelves. Instead I had placed my closets there.
There really wasn't anything else inside of my room except a small table next to my bed with a lamp on it and an arm chair in the other corner.
I close the door behind me and look through my old movies.
Hmm, I'm probably going to get myself a burger and watch a drama like in the good old times. My heart aches a bit thinking about it.
Sighting I take out one of my favorites and throw it on my bed.
Well then. I still have to make that burger. Let's see what we've got.
I get out of my room again and go to the last room on the right hand side of the hallway. This is our community room. It has a small kitchen a fridge and some other stuff.
I don't really care about the rest because those two things are the most important to me.
Opening the fridge the minced meat instantly jumps to my eyes.
kukukuku
I take everything needed out of the fridge. The meat, tomato, onions, salad, pickles and some other stuff. I had specially asked for burger buns of the doc and as such there still where some located in one of the cupboards. I don't think I ever had the right to be proud of any of my recipes. BUT if anybody ever said that my burgers where bad.
Let's just say they would NOT enjoy the next five days of their puny existence.
Since I'm alone in the room I happily hum to myself.
First a burger then the WORLD
"KukukuMUAHAHAHAHAH"
Laughing evilly I remember a modified line of one of a movie villain.
It's been a while since I've just relaxed and made some food for myself. Normally we eat together in the school cafeteria.
The smell of well done minced meat reaches my nose and I start drooling a bit.
I put everything together and clean up afterwards.
"hmm? What's this smell? It's coming from the kitchen."
FUCK ABANDON SHIP!!
Somebody had smelled my food. What to do?
I hide both of my burgers -yes I made two- in a lunch box and hide it behind my back.
Just after I'm done Rachel and her brother walk into the room.
"hmm Alexandra? Did you make anything to eat just then?"
Mikael looks around in confusion and notices the used frying pan and the knives I had used to cut my tomatoes.
"Did you make some kind of wrap or something? It smells really good. Not like that disgusting odor that's around you some time."
aaaaand fuck you too Mikael.
Since they already know that I made something I decide to tell them.
"I made some burgers for myself and I'm going to watch a movie eating them. There's still some meat left if you want to make some yourselves."
Rachel twists a strand of her blond hair and musters me.
"Didn't think you could produce something that smells this nice. But watching a movie sounds awesome. I think we should all come together and celebrate that we're finally a part of the raiders. We can watch something together isn't that awesome?"
NO GODDAMIT.
Fuuu.
I glance over her with an annoyed look.
"Rachel, sorry but I really want to be alone right now, if I had wanted your company I would've made more food."
I really don't want to deal with them right now.
"Oh come on, we'll all leave in a few days, don't you want to spend some time with us before we get separated?"
NO.
"I don't really want to, sorry. I mean we'll still probably communicate on a frequent basis so it technically should be alright."
Rachel looks at me slightly thrown off.
"Fine, then we'll just do that without you. You like company even less than Vel does."
Thank god.
"By the way, where are the buns?"
I turn around to Mikael who is looking through the supplies.
"Upper left cupboard." I tell him while pointing at it.
"Enjoy your movie with the others"
With that being said I leave their company and head for my room with the lunchbox still in my hand.
The rest of the afternoon went by in a fly. Although I could hear the others laughing in one of the other rooms I didn't want to join them.
I simply enjoyed myself in front of my tv with my burgers.
Vel came into my room once to ask me if I really didn't want to join them so I chased him away.
At 11 pm I decided to go to bed. I could sleep as long as I wanted tomorrow but that didn't mean my sleeping rhythm was going to get disturbed.
So I just take off my clothes and cuddle under my blanket.
I take a look at the picture on my nightstand. It's an old one, showing me, Zoe and Maxis on a field trip with Coach Heathrow and another teacher.
I have lots of pictures from better times and I treasuredevery single one of them.
"Good night guys."
With that I turn my lamp off and close my eyes.

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer
To be taken to another world; isn't that the kind of thing that nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their savvy knowledge of how things usually go in that situation to take advantage, and lead a life where they are the center and in control of their destiny.But in the stories, the one who is brought ends up with a grand power to help them through. Here, a man is brought to a foreign world as his new character in the VRMRPG, Underworld of Armok, at Level 1. In safety there are few benefits, only by taking risks far beyond his level could one proceed. Transported to another world, he wishes to do good and be a hero. Accumulating power to help the less fortunate. There's just one caveat; he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.Quick DescriptionAnother video game/isekai novel. Unfortunately, the MC has crossed over during character creation of a Necromancer and is Level 1. He also lacks the ever so helpful status window.Fair warning, the Friendly Villager Necromancer arc(1) is slow. He does not want to run out into the dangerous world to get killed right after arriving. Sucks to be Level 1, eh? Git gud scrub. It's basically a Slice of Life from his perspective. The Thread, in case you get a bit confused about people/places. [16+] Now probably! For strong language and violence! And anthropophagy and lewd intimations! And stupid jokes and obscure references! And philosophical ditherings and a slow pace! Make peace with the absurd, and come to terms with the terrible!

I do not aim for the simple or the easy life. I want to tread where no one has been before, and discover what the ebb of time has mercilessly washed into the darkest corners of our civilization. This is my adventure.
