Irregular Elementalist

001: Initialization

[Standby mode ON.]

The system responded to Erol's ranting and all windows minimized and disappeared into nothingness.

"Huh??"

Confused as to what triggered it to close, Erol hastily went back to bed trying to ignore what happened. He remembered that he has to attend classes later so he needed to get more sleep because he can't afford to sleep in class again. But unfortunately, his mind won't let him or rather sleep didn't get to him.

...

[7:10 A.M]

Erol took a piece of toasted bread and rushed at the door. He bit the bread to free his hand and quickly put and tie his shoes. Beside him was a slightly used hover board. It was two and half feet long, one and half wide, inch thick board, colored mostly by gray and black. It has a few scratches here and there but one can see that it is quite well-maintained.

"Bye Mom!", he said with a loud yet gentle voice. Erol grabbed his board and went outside the house.

As usual, his eyes carried two bags where anyone who sees this would assume that he hadn't had enough sleep like... forever. Yes, it's worse than what you think. So because of this he never forgot to wear his hoodie to hide his mug.

To make it worse, this habit of him, made students view him as antisocial, loner, out-in-his-own-world guy, and other downbeat labels. But Erol didn't pay any attention to it. He knew that associating himself to these kinds of people will not do any good to him rather it will just mean trouble to him.

He hates trouble the same as he detest his teacher in History.

Erol kept on reminding himself to keep his circle small which consists of only him and his best friend Locke. More people means more trouble so he always avoids it.

Erol focused and gathered his mana into his palm and after a second or two, he infused the small amount of mana he collected in the hover board's mana terminal.

The board slightly flickered, emitting a faint orange light which confirmed that the system started functioning. Erol boarded it and it slightly held his feet. The hover board produced a slight magnetic force that balances and stabilizing the user's base.

Erol stepped on the hover button. The board that is elevated by more or less two inches from the ground started its flit.

With maneuvering controls on place, Erol made his way to school travelling at roughly 2.5 meters per second or as the hover board displayed.

He is now in his second year in high school at the Special ED School made for all the victims of EZCorp's scandal 10 years ago.

All students of different schools especially Special ED School are given their own hover boards as proof that they are Elemental Users because obviously only those who have mana can utilize it.

Except from free education and access to all information, they are also given special treatment in the society.

Elementalists are treated highly because they are the reason why the Country of Teskia is now one of the highly advance in the world and considered as ostensibly invincible country today.

...

After a 10-minute flitting, he arrived at the front gate of Special ED School Main Building. The building cannot be described by just big, but huge. The crescent shaped front exterior of the school can caught anyone's attention, not just because of its shape but because of the mixture of silver and gold that radiated when hit by the rays of the sun.

Erol stopped in front of a seemingly impenetrable opaque door asking for his identification card. A security system set to monitor every individual who goes in and out of the school be it students, teachers, and visitors with each corresponding passes. There are at least 10 entrance doors to where Erol is standing now and he is currently on the third door.
