My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Ryan and Devon stood there without moving. A woman's voice broke the silence between them through the intercoms fixed in the building's ceilings. 

[ I request everybody's attention. I request all of the students to gather in the auditorium after their lunchtime. I repeat, we have an important announcement to make so please everybody gather in the auditorium after taking your lunch. Thank you ]

Ryan and Devon looked at the intercoms with confusion, "What do you think it would be?" Devon asked.

Ryan looked at his friend who was looking at the intercom, Ryan did not reply to Devon's question. Instead, he let out a small giggle.

"Beats me." Ryan shrugged.

…..

After taking their lunch, everyone was gathered in the auditorium. They were given chairs to sit on, directly taken out of the dimensional space. 

Sadako, Brandon, Steve, and a Japanese teacher including Johan were standing on the stage. They were waiting for somebody to come.

"Ma'am, they are asking for permission to come." A man came and whispered into Sadako's ears.

"Fool. They do not need permission. It is their Academy! Who asks for permission to enter their own house? Go open the portal quickly!" She ordered. 

That man started acting like a scaredy-cat and quickly ran away. Ryan was seeing this whole thing happen, also hear it.

Everybody suddenly rose up from their seats while looking in the right direction followed by every student. American students took a little while before standing because they were confused.

From the right corner, appeared a man Ryan knew very well from yesterday.

"Students, please greet our founder, chairman, and the chief executive officer sir Mitsuda Satoru-san."

"Good morning, sir!" The students bent in ninety degrees and greeted Satoru who, with a smile was standing in front of everyone. 

"Greetings to everyone present here." he too bowed his head a little to greet everyone in Japanese. 

Satoru's eyes started wandering in the crowd as if looking for someone. His eyes calmed down and a smile spread over his face when his eyes met with Ryan's eye. 

The sudden glance with a grin starlet Ryan a little. He gasped in a low voice. Then Satoru's eyes met with his daughter before continuing.

"Uh, for American students who do not understand Japanese, we will be presenting the translation of what I speak on the wall right here," Satoru pointed to the wall behind him. 

As he said, the texts were appearing in English behind him, "But, this is will not continue forever. We are presenting a special Japanese learning course for American students. Of course, it is not compulsory, only those who wish to participate in your conversations will take the two hours course every day."

There was a moment of silence in the auditorium before Satoru started speaking again. 

"Moving forward. I am here to have a little talk about yesterday. First of all, yes we were attacked by the Underworld. A strange virus was spread around the dormitory which infected many students…. Unfortunately, we have lost them, they are no more with us."

Many little crying sounds went on in the auditorium, some sobs, people mourning for the loss of their loved ones. 

"Calm down, students. I know you have lost someone important to you. Some lost their friends, some lost their brothers, sisters, some lost their loved ones, some lost their boyfriend or girlfriend, some even lost their parents. But still, I want everybody to calm down.

"It happened all because of the Underworld. I want you to change the grief of losing someone important into the fire of anger, revenge against the Underworld!

"So instead of sitting in a dark corner and crying your eyes out, I want you to train hard, I want all of you to train hard, become strong, and take revenge by fighting against the Underworld." 

Satoru stopped. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath. His long black coat swirled around when he raised his hand in the air and opened his mouth to say something but his voice was suppressed by the voices of Japanese students. 

"We are Tokyo Academy!!" They all shouted at once, "Nothing and no one can beat us!!" their voices rang in the whole soundproof auditorium. 

"Ugh, dad…. How cringe you are," Naomi sighed alone in a corner. 

After the auditorium finally calmed down, Satoru continued his speech, "Here, today, I want to introduce some new rules or protocols to you students and to the Masters too."

On the screen behind Satoru, a black page with the heading Protocols 2071 appeared. Below it, with a bullet point, the first protocol appeared.

"VIP rooms for everyone."

Many students started chirping about the protocol. Teachers were surprised too but did not say a word.

"Second: Strict classes, strict training sessions daily. Weekend, only Sunday."

"Eh?! That is so unfair!"

"We want two days to break!"

Ignoring the students, Satoru continued with the third protocol, "Third: Second-year students…" he looked at everybody, "Will be taken to Portal expeditions, monster hunting Quests."

The annoyed disagreed shouts of students soon turned into loud cheers. They were pleased to hear that even second-years will be able to go on Portal Quests.

"But sir!" Sadako got up from her seat.

"Do not worry, Tanikawa-san. I know what I am doing," He replied without looking at her.

Without any choice, she went back to her seat and sat silently with a worried expression. 

'Is it really a good decision to send second-year students on Beast hunting Quests?' she wondered.

"Fourth: Allowance. Students will be granted with 4500 yen allowance per month. A bonus will be added to your account if you complete some special tasks. Details will be provided to you by your respective Homeroom teacher."

Again, students were really amazed by how good things were going. But on the other hand, Ryan felt a vibe of something bad is about to happen. 

"Fifth: New ID cards. These are newly made, high-tech ID cards enclosed inside an unbreakable glass case. It will stick to your clothes or your skin easily, things made easy." 

He held a small ID card in his hands. It had digital words appearing on the ID card. It was enclosed between a thin glass.

"Sixth: No one will be allowed to leave the campus." a silence dropped in the auditorium, "No one will be allowed to leave the campus. Food, stores, shops everything will be developed inside the campus. Your needs and your wants, you will get them in the campus, no need to leave the campus."

'Ah~ I knew something bad was going to happen.' Ryan sighed.

"Seventh and the last: Top Ten community is dismissed. No more top ten students crap."

Every student including a few lower-class teachers were shocked by the announcement.
