Day 4: 1:06 pm

"Zenatori wanna arm wrestle me before the teacher comes in?" said Aoi Iwasaki.

"Who are you? Oh yeah, you."

Zenatori remembers,

'Aoi Iwasaki'

"He has a pretty girly name, but that's beside the point. I meant him after checking the grades, and he is definitely interesting, so to speak. There's a 0% chance this guy could beat me. Isotonic Energy is the combination of isotonic atoms; these atoms pretty much give you superhuman physical characteristics. That's also why in High School I never lost an arm wrestle."

"That's a pretty random request, to be honest, but I don't see why not," said Zenatori.

Everyone gets into position, some people from the class begin to watch, and the tension is nerve-wracking. Suddenly, they grasp each other's palms, trying to bring the other down. Zenatori begins to gain a lead. Iwasaki thinks to himself,

"What the HELL? What kind of strength is this? It's immeasurable!"

Suddenly, his hand crashes into the desk, making a dent in it. 

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Zenatori says in victory,

"The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows."

Suddenly, Mashaka walks in and says,

"Hello, class. Today, I will show you what manifestations are. If you would all follow me to the courtyard, I can show you."

Courtyard 1:10 pm

"This C-Grade Automorph was pretty fun while it lasted, but, unfortunately, I'm going to have to take it out of its misery. There are three types of manifestations: Relative, Absolute, and Supreme. Today I will show you the Relative because it will be more relevant to all of you."

"The Relative Manifestation is a partial manifestation of someone's Syneji. It allows you to partially manifest your Syneji into an amplified manipulation. All you need to do is say the Relative Manifestation ritual, and it should activate. My Relative manifestation is called Gale Force. It allows me to amplify my wind manipulation and also send a condensed path of wind if I say Expel. Like all manifestations, they require a lot of Isotonic Force. It should go something like this."

"Relative Restriction, Modern Manifest: Gale Force"

Wind suddenly starts expelling at a rapid rate from Mashaka's hands. She puts her palm in front of her and reaches her arm out. The air starts condensing into her palm, then she mutters,

"Expel"

Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the automorph, and it fell to the ground. People begin to clap in applause.

Mashaka then says,

"Automorphs are interesting because they can't technically die. They only reincarnate so another person will have their low-tier ability. The only way to kill an Automorph is for someone to tame it, and it will die if it's still tamed. That was an interesting lesson, everyone. Am I right? Head back to class for the last assignment."

Zenatori's Dorm 3:19 pm

Zenatori lies on his bed curled into a ball; his room is very empty with zero additions to it. He had only a bed and a window with an air conditioner, and that was it. The things the school has already started with.

"This Syneji Artistry thing could be the only thing I am interested in. Everyone else probably left their dorms because they had friends or family to attend to. I have no one, this is how I will die."

A tear runs down his face, and he yells,

"ALONE."

Suddenly, there's a knock on his door, and he wipes his face and says 

"Who is it?"

"Remember me, Yachi?"

A gleam of hope has begun.
