The chatter stopped once the director approached the microphone on the stage. Everyone stood up and saluted. Osir followed them with hesitation coming from the confusion. Behind the director stood teachers and Professor Olsen was one of them. The other known face was of the bald man that tested Osir’s combat capabilities.
-Welcome everyone. I’m glad to see you all here. All gathered for the same cause. Some of you are eager to fight right at this moment but I want you to just wait a little while longer. We’re preparing you for the best results. We want you to become heroes of Europe!- Said Director through the microphone and his speech were followed by loud applause.-There is also a new development in our system. Students that have results above the average can be put on a reserve list coded with the name S.R.A. Currently, there is only one squad on the list that showed potential in the second year. I would like to ask squad PRIME to come on the stage.
While two students from the sits in front stood up and walked toward the stage, the third student jumped impossibly high and slowly landed on the stage. This student was the same person that sat with Osir in the cafeteria. He stood in front and the two students were slightly behind him. They had the same uniform but they didn’t have a chain on their cape.
-This is Squad PRIME made of Sebastian Kubicki from Poland, Ria Anaya from Spain, and their captain Tobias Wagner from Germany. Those students haven’t finished school but were sent on two missions that ended successfully. I want all of you to try and reach their level.
Tobias while being on stage noticed Osir and waved toward him. His squadmates thought that he is waving to the crowd and they did the same. One person approached the director and whispered something to his ear. He looked behind and waved his hand back and forth suggesting to one of the teachers to take the lead in the ceremony. Professor Olsen approached the microphone and acted like it was part of the ceremony.
-By the doors to the school there are lists of the classes and members. Students, please go and wait in your designated classrooms. Your classroom teachers will come to you after a short discussion.
While all the students headed to the school, the director went to his office in the tower in the middle of the city. In the elevator, there was one secretary with him. He was stomping his foot as she was reading something on her tablet.
-What’s the status?- Asked Director.
-The ships with B-class machines will arrive at Bovalino in five minutes.- Answered the secretary.
-So they are still on the water. Good. We have time. There might be no need for sending soldiers.
-You’re going to use your powers?
-Yes. Inform all the facilities about it. We don’t want another panic message from the whole of Europe.
-I’m sending the message right away.
As they entered the office the view from the screen changed. It was a live video from the cameras in place in Italy named Bavalino. On the cameras, there was an empty town. No one was visible on the street or buildings. A few cameras had a view of the sea. There were seven ships with many kinds of military machines on them.
A metal pole rose from the ground of Matias’ office. The director placed both of his hands on it and closed his eyes. The footage from the cameras began to shake. Waves appeared on an earlier calm sea. They were big enough to shake the massive ships with machines. The ground was shaking so intensely that rocks began falling from the hills and a hole appeared under the water. Ships weren’t able to oppose the strong current that drove them into a hole. All of them sunk into the hole that was then closed.
-You’ve got all of them, sir.- Said the secretary.
-It’s hard to be a director and the strongest defender of Europe at the same time. And for strategic reasons, I can’t leave this city… Not with so many enemies at my level out there.
[ USA / Florida / Miami ]
On the beach stood one man wearing a white military uniform with a red cape and pin in the shape of a golden star on his chest. He has short blond wavy hair with blue tips. He was watching the ocean with a slightly annoyed face.
-This is getting annoying… When will those robots understand that it’s impossible to invade us while me and sis are in America?
In front of him, one kilometer away, were ships with military machines on them. There were eight ships in total. A few mechs from the ships stood up. They had cannons on them and aimed right at the man on the beach. They all fired at him at the same time. Man grabbed his head with disappointment.
-So pointless…- Said the man as he pointed his hand toward the projectiles coming toward him.
He flipped his two fingers upward and at the same time, the water from the ocean rose with high speed and cut those projectiles making them explode in the air. Then he opened his hand and swung it to the side. Massive waves flipped all the ships and sunk them. Some of the machines began to swim toward the beach. When the man clenched his fist all the machines were crushed.
-Water is my domain and I have full control over it!
[ India / Beach near Kochi ]
Girl with a short green hair and a black uniform watched the wrecks of the battleships from the shore. A wind got stronger around her and small waves pulled the wrecks toward the beach.
-You live up to the S-rank expectations rookie! A little bit more time and you might become Ouroboros like me.- She shouted.
Between all those destroyed ships on a single metal piece sat a young man in a black uniform. He has one artificial arm made of metal. It didn’t look like something constructed by man because there were no chinks on it. He has a red cap covering his black hair.
-Haha! That would make me the fourth Ouroboros Esper in East School. One step closer to uniting the world under our rule!- Shouted the man with excitement.
