Chapter 2: Day One of an Interesting Year
"Come on Ageha," Hiryuu said as he started to shake my sleeping body, "dude if you don't wake up soon we'll be late! Guh, plan B then I guess." To help inform you, it's day one of my first year at Psyren High and well, I overslept, thankfully though, I was dressed for school so Hiryuu just dragged me to class.
"*yawn* why's it so hard here and why am I straight up," I asked as I began to open my eyes, "and who turned on the lights?"
"That would be me Mr. Yoshina," said a young woman, "I'm Matsuri Yagumo, your homeroom teacher." She was pretty young to be a teacher, but the thing that caught my eye was the fact that in the middle of her black hair was an area of red.
"Oh! Sorry Ms. Yagumo," I said as I sat normally in my chair instead of my previous slumping.
"Oh, just call me Matsuri. Well then, good morning class," she began, "I know you'll all enjoy your first day here at Psyren High but first things first, introductions. I'll be calling your names and when I do I want you to share with the class your name and anything else you want to add to that. First up is Ageha."
"Yo, my name's Ageha, nice to meet all of you," I said from my seat.
"Amamiya."
"Hello, my name's Amamiya Sakurako," she said in a cold tone. I think now I know why she's called the Ice Queen.
"Oboro."
"Hi everyone, I'm Oboro, some people think I'm gay but I'm not, I just like hugging people," said a very cheery guy.
"Kabuto."
"Hi, nice to meet ya'll name's Kabuto," said a spiky haired boy.
"Hiryuu."
"Hi, name's Hiryuu, I hope to get along with the lot of you," he said in an edgy tone.
"Frederica."
"Hi, my name's Frederica a.k.a. the Pyro Queen," she stated.
"Marie."
"Uh, hi everyone, I'm Marie," she said.
"Kyle."
"Hello, name's Kyle," said a dark skinned silver headed boy.
"Shao."
"Greetings. Nice to meet you all, my name's Shao," replied a Chinese boy.
"Van."
"Hi," was all the blond had to say.
"Tatsuo."
"Hi, name's Tatsuo, nice to meet you all," responded a tall short haired guy.
(And I'm just going to skip the rest of the people in the class now since it ain't important.)
"Okay, now that the introductions are over, does anyone here not know what their P.S.I. is," Matsuri asked.
"Here," Hiryuu and I said.
"Well, there's an easy way of doing this. You, Hiryuu, I think I know what your P.S.I. is. Try imagining a hand with your mind and try to tap Ageha on the head," she said.
"Sure," he said as he began to close his eyes. Soon enough, a hand appeared and well, 'tapped' my head, if you call being tapped sent flying across the room anyway…
"Your P.S.I. is being able to channel your 'burst' into objects. Ageha come with me outside, since I don't know what you could do in here, best to be safe."
"I think I know what to do to activate my P.S.I. though," I said.
"Then show me."
I began to concentrate and then before me appeared a black mass in the shape of a ball. "Careful around it though, it tends to have a mind of its own," I warned.
"Hmm, I wonder…," Matsuri began before putting her hands to the ground and erecting a pillar of Earth in front of her. As soon as it appeared, the mass charged for it and disintegrated it to nothing.
"Uh, what was that just now," I asked, "I know how to summon it but I don't know how to control it yet."
"If memory serves me right, that was the 'Melchee's Door'. Do we have anyone around that can explain a 'program' and 'burst stream' to this guy," she asked the class.
"We can," Frederica and Marie said.
"I can help too," said Amamiya.
"Great! So all four of you come back to his room when school's out k?"
The rest of the day went by pretty fast considering how our only teacher was Matsuri anyway. By the end of the day, the three girls and I were with the teacher at the classroom.
"Okay, first I'll let Frederica here demonstrate a 'burst stream'," she began as Frederica began to consume a wide area with flames, then in a few moments, it was compressed into a small sphere, "and that's the 'burst stream', basically you just imagine the P.S.I. waves flowing around you like a stream and control it. Next would be a 'program'."
"Okay," Marie began, "the first thing you do is imagine the thing you're trying to do like say some sticks, next you think of what you want it to do, the final step is to activate it, but be warned, the more instructions you think of for it, the harder it is to control it."
"Amamiya, if you could help explain to him how his P.S.I., Melchee's Door works."
"Your Melchee's Door is basically the incarnate of destruction, it eliminates P.S.I. in general. There is no way to counter it except by sheer force, however in exchange for the amazing ability it grants the user, it also put's great stress on the controllers mind," she stated.
"Okay, and with that, your lesson on your P.S.I. is complete. See you all tomorrow," Matsuri said.
"I'm heading towards the dorms," Amamiya said as she started walking off.
"Hey, I'll walk with you," I said as I ran towards her, but she left me in the dust. I decided to just start walking the rest of the back myself. That is until I heard crying coming from the back of one of the dorms and heard a voice.
"Nobody wants me around… I'm just a nuisance to them, one of my oldest friends doesn't even remember me anymore," it said. As I walked to where the sound was coming from, I noticed that it was Amamiya crying.
"Um, hi there," I started, "you feeling alright?"
"No," she replied wiping away her tears, "you don't know who I am, do you?"
"Sorry to say but I don't. Should I?"
"Figured as much… but, if you don't mind," she began through her tears, "do you mind if cry on your shoulder for now?"
"Go right ahead," I told her, "don't worry, I'll be there for you if you need a shoulder to cry on."
"Thank you," she replied as she cried till she just fell asleep on my shoulder.
"Don't worry," I whispered to her, "I may not remember everything, but I do remember a girl from my past who helped me through the hard times when my mother passed away and you look just like her… come to think of it, I think you are her." With those last words, I picked her up, carried her to my dorm room, and let her sleep on my bed while I just lay on the floor.
