AGENT: The Agent of Mutants

06. Claire's First Superpower

Tuesday, 9 January 2051

This morning, after getting ready for school, Val and I accidentally asked Nancy to go to school first, because we were going to meet with other agents to make plans.

Me and Val and the others are already in the back garden of the dormitory right now.

"For all of you!" Val said hello because we just arrived.

"Braise!" kataku too.

"Morning, gurls!" ruby and Kimberly. The two of them were leaning on a park bench, with their legs casually crossed.

"Morning." said Rylan. He was fiddling with his watch - I mean, his earzoom.

Hm, I'm not surprised anymore why the other two people did not answer, even now I suspect, maybe they are both mute(?). Yeah, because Jack used to talk, so I assume that he's only half-mute.

Kimberly stood up, walked into our midst, "Uhm, I want to tell you something." Kimberly said seriously.

Now that I understand Kimberly's personality, she's a professional person, she can tell the difference between a joke and a serious time, like now.

"What is that, Kim?" I was curious, and I think the others were curious.

"So, last night I was given a little extra information about the chip thief by Brother Brian."

What's?! Really true?!

Though I can't call him. But how can Kim communicate with him? Whoa, worse...

Rylan stopped twitching with his earzoom, he turned his head towards Kim. "What information?"

"He just said, we should be more careful when meeting people, if we can. remember where that person was last, because he can turn into anyone."

Lah, Brother Brian already told me about that. All this time they didn't know? Why is Brian telling them that basic information now?

Am I being special? Gosh, hahahaha. Joking.

"That means we have to tighten up communication." Ruby said, she was still sitting cross-legged on the park bench.

"Yes, we have to!" rylan.

I just nodded in agreement.

It's gonna be really hard. The students of this school are so many, how can they be remembered one by one where they are...

"Okay, today we'll start working closely."

"After this, wherever we are, try to always communicate, but remember, do not be suspicious." Val chiming.

"All right" I said in agreement, followed by another nod.

"It seems to understand everything, we don't have much time to gather here." Zav who had just become the wind, finally said, "Come!"

We also leave here, of course one by one so as not to be suspicious.

Now that everything was gone, before I left, I pressed my latch. I think it's pretty good and not suspicious because it looks really like earrings.

The core is a circle in the middle, and it's the earzoom, and what I just pressed is that part, it's active now.

All right, let's get started.

I was walking casually towards class-errat.

I was in front of the noisiest room ever, '11 IPA 1'. Even from the outside it sounded crowded.

When I opened the classroom door, the face of Alexa was immediately visible, she was scolding the men who were busy playing games until the storm. They all sat in the back row.

I walked over to my seat next to Alexa, then sat cautiously.

He was standing on his stool, yelling at the men in my class to be quiet.

Spooky.

"Geez Lex, the stool will soon be dislodged it has been rocking so." I said but did not digubrisnya.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry before but if I have to scream like Alexa, I obviously can't. I'm an ambivert that's more inclined to introverts, so don't expect it.

Ah, but I really don't like noise!!

Want not... "ALL MORNING!" I was standing (but on the floor, not up on the bench).

Silence!!

The entire class was silent!!

Everything that was noisy just now instantly became quiet, all of them looking towards me.

Do I have any hidden superpowers?

I smiled, "it's good," I murmured. "Please don't be noisy, yes." I continued.

One of the men, whose name was Ja.. Jason, if it's not wrong. She smiled at me instead, "Okay, but first, lemme have your number" she said with her American accent (sometimes I forget that this is an international school).

There had not been a pause of a few seconds, such words were followed by another friend. And for a long time getting noisier.

I took a rough breath, then sat back down. "Whoo!" grumbling.

Alexa came down from her stool, she rubbed the marks she stepped on, then sat down. "It's only been two days" he said, to which I nodded. "Hopefully I don't graduate from here with a sanity that lives a quarter." I covered my face in frustration.

Suddenly, an angel from heaven brought me and Lexa relief. Ms Tiffany!

Finally!! The whole class calmed down instantly!

Well, here's how I can breathe.

Ms. Tiffany came with a bright smile. Really angel.

"Good morning everyone!"

○○○

Now it is a break, and of course it will be difficult to pay attention to all of them because they will split up here and there either to chat with friends or go out of class.

I've been counting. The class consisted of 14 men and 11 women (including me).

Okay, let's start with Diana, for information, she's my class treasurer, she went out of class.

"Hmm, Diana!"

"Why?" He said as he turned towards me.

"Wouldn't you go to the library? If so, I'd like a biology book, dong!"

"Uhmm.. I want to go to the toilet anyway, but if you want to nitip is okay, then I go to the library, right next door." he said while raising the position of his glasses.

"Ohh, don't do it then, it will be troublesome..."

"Hahaha, no problem."

"Thank you but not Na, I'm not in a hurry to read it anyway, hehe."

"OK." he said and left.

I actually just need to know where he's going.

Hmm, just going to the toilet does not need to be followed, right?

"Claire's in, Diana's 11th grade IPA 1 is gone." I whispered.

"Claire," Alexa came up to me, "you want to go to the library? I'm going there too, yuk!" alexa said suddenly. Maybe he heard my conversation with Diana earlier.

Geez..why be so serious, that's just an excuse, ouch.

"No, Lexa, I just want to read a book here." I refused while grinning.

"Are you seriously not going to?"

"Seriously, you're fine yourself."

Alexa raised her thumb with the intent of 'OK!', then exited the class.

Once out, he immediately embraced his other friends while chatting coolly.

Naturally, considering he was an old boy (whose 10th grade was already here).

"Nancy class 11 ipa 2 is gone." Val's voice entered my sense of hearing through the earzoom.

I myself decided not to go anywhere, because the ones in the class were more, and I had to pay attention.

BRAKKHS

My classroom door was didobra---

UH! He spilled a drink on my shirt yesterday! What else is he doing here?!

He walked towards me with a face full of anger.

Wha what?? What did I do until he got that angry? I should have been mad at him for yesterday, right?

"Hey! What are you doing Jack until he rejects me?! This must be all because of you, right?!" Crashy.

What's?! Jack again?!

What the hell, I just don't know anything!

What is the name of this woman alone I do not know, let alone the problem with that flat guy?!

Hm, but I think he misunderstood because I was being escorted by the flat to the back garden. As Nancy said yesterday.

But this still doesn't make sense! Why am I being blamed anyway?!

"What the hell?" Realizing that I was wearing a high tone, I calmed myself down, "You're wrong what kind of person?"

"Here you go, just answer! Don't use pleasantries!" It's even getting louder.

I'm silent. Baffled. How is he getting worse?

I really don't want to lose control now.

"I don't know!" I said loud at last.

"Gurgh!" he got upset, and he approached me.

I'm not scared! If you want to fight, let's go! He doesn't know yet, I've been doing karate up to black belt.

He got closer, I started to shake.

Suddenly, he reached for my necklace.

Necklace.

Oh naw.

"SURK-"

She tugged

- and broke up.

I'm gonna kill him.

[Author's POV]

The girl pulled the necklace given by Claire's late mother who had died on her birthday.

Claire's heart rate is rising.

And right, something Claire was afraid of actually happened..

His irises turned dark red, as if the darkest part within him was wriggling out.

He strangled the girl strongly with already mounting anger, with a blank look.

All the surrounding disciples who had noticed the two of them, became shocked and frightened due to the drastic changes that had happened to Claire.

The girl was strangled until her feet no longer stepped on the floor, Claire let go of her giggling. But he used his strength to keep the girl up..

... very high...

... until it almost touched the classroom ceiling.

Then, Claire threw out her bare hands, the girl fell slammed down instantly.

He trembled, crying in fear at Claire's blank stare.

The dark red aura around Claire's body lit up, matching the iris of her eyes. Anyone who saw it would run in fear.

Claire made the table next to her raise without touching it, she prepared to throw the table at the woman before her.

Meanwhile, a man runs as fast as he can to the class where Claire is.

The man stopped right at the doorway. He's wide-eyed. I can't believe what he saw.

He stared fixedly at Claire's dark red bead.

The woman who had lost control turned to the man with a blank look.

That look could have made people faint in fear of seeing it. But not for this guy. He kept looking at his eyes deeper.

Suddenly, the table stopped. Only twenty inches away from the body of the girl who had been trembling in fear.

This opportunity was used by the people around the girl to hold her body, even though they were also frightened.

"Calm down." said the man while still looking into Claire's eyes.

There's no response. Claire kept looking at the manic eye with a blank look.

In his eyes, implied an extremely abundant emotion, filling his entire soul with wrath.

Silence is created between them. No one dared to move.

However, the man remains convinced he can reverse Claire's true soul.

Slowly, Claire's iris changed as before.

BRUISES

The table that had floated earlier, had now fallen, a sign that Claire had unleashed her power.

Then his body squeezed, the man immediately swiftly supporting Claire's body before she fell.

The man heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Claire's bright brown iris that had returned, before finally his eyes closed.

The girl lost consciousness.
