((Hi guys. This is a gifted school roleplay, which is basically having characters from age 12 - 19 attending a boarding school. The catch is, they've got mutant powers like the X-Men.

Only requirements for characters here are the age, them being human born, and the request that you limit yourself to ONE POWER. That means you cannot control both fire and wind and still have telepathy, or have telepathy on top of the power to walk through walls. Just ONE.

Also, note that we are not really superheroes. So no fancy costumes. Setting is present day. (as usual) Thank you. Have fun. ))




The interior of the academy is dark. The walls are walnut and old fashioned and made the already quiet place deader than it is. Outside, tangles of ivy climb up the faux Victorian facade. Old balconies cling for dear life to the wall. A swimming pool is located round the back, a concrete soccer court next to it. Windows dot the third and top most floor: dormitories.

This is the School for the Gifted.

Fifteen year old Taye Richards is a student here. He has dark brown hair, messily spiked to emulate the bedhead style. He
dresses without much thought for stereotypes or style, though he favours band tees, straight cut jeans and grey Converse. While Taye is still living with his parents while not at school, they are not very supportive of his uniqueness and thus his familial relationships are rather strained.

His talent is electricity. He can create it, he can harness it, but he can not yet master it. Which is why Taye Richards still studies at the School... so that he may one day master his talent.


---


It was a hot day. It was the kind of hot that made the air thick and humid, made you sweat buckets even while sitting completely still. Taye was in the library to beat the heat, perusing a book on war poetry. "Dulce Et Decorum Est," he read to himself, (quietly, if course) devouring the poem in a matter of minutes.

There was no one else in the library with him, not even the librarian. Outside, the sun shone brilliantly through the soupy clouds. Taye crossed his ankles and leaned forward into his book. He read on.

The light from the sun filled the school with light, including the dormitories. Ordinary students from the gifted school would have woken up by noon for classes, eager to harness their special abilities, but in one room situated in the dormitories lies Artemis still snoozing away.

The fifteen year old boy finally awoke by the glaring light from the sun, he rose from his bed and scanned his messy room, clothes were lying everywhere, books all over the floor. Artemis gave a long sigh and got of his bed, but before reaching his bathroom, he slipped on one of the books that were scrawled across the floor. Artemis cursed his luck before standing up, he turned and opened his shut window letting a slight breeze enter the room ,time for his special ability to come in action, with a swift movement of his hands, a strong gust came through his open window, blowing clothes and books back to their designated places.

Artemis'es power was wind, even through he had little control over it, he was approached by many organization in need of his special talents. Artemis yawned and walked to his closet to grab his set of clothes, his clothes were all plain and simple, a brown long-sleeved shirt, a white shirt to wear over the long-sleeved and long baggy pants to top it off.

Artemis then stood in front of his mirror for a few seconds studying his reflection, the only thing that made Artemis different from the rest of the students is the fact that he has snowy white hair, and Artemis hates crowds. Artemis then stepped out of his room to a huge corridor brimming with newcomers.

Artemis frowned and tried to walk to main stairway, after a few minutes of being stared at and squeezed between crowds of people, he finally made it to the stairway. Artemis stared outside the window opposite of the stairway, students running about in the courtyard, some were showing their powers off, others were chatting. Artemis thought about making some new friends but just the thought of him running around like an idiot made him pushed that thought to the back of his mind.

Artemis sighed and then walked up the stairway to the roof, once there Artemis saw a girl around the same age as him sitting on the edge of the roof. Artemis was surprised since he had never seen her before, just then the door to the roof slammed shut by a strong gust of wind effectively shocking the girl and sending her off the roof. Artemis ran forward and leapt down the building, grabbing the girl and using himself as a cushion between the girl and the ground.

Artemis tried to use his powers but for a strange reason nothing happened, all Artemis could do was try to cushion the fall for the girl although it was the first time ever risking his life for anybody but himself. But who would have thought that the first time he helped someone would mean he would die.

They landed on the ground with a loud thud, people ganced out of the windows to see what happened, Artemis could feel blood on the back on his head, the blood was soon gushing out of the deep wound, to Artemis he slowly could not hear what the students were shouting about anymore, then everything Artemis could see slowly faded away as consciousness was also fading, leaving him in a long sleep as students rushed to get help

Screams echoed across the room coming from the outside. Genesis flinched as his focus upon his theory book on Psychology and closed his eyes. His vision ran across the wood walls of the room and past the polished door out into the beige coloured gravel flooring of the courtyard.

He looked about. His attention was caught by a bunch of people crowding around someone or something. " Must be a moron misusing his abilities again." Genesis thought to himself and he closed the distance between him and the crowd.

As he easily phased past the other students, he came across what they were all talking and huddling around. A typical male and female both unconsious. Extending his sun kissed hands, Genesis reached for the girl's forehead. His world started to tear apart. Pieces of his world, slowly flying apart only to merge once again.

Genesis looked down upon the school courtyard from the schools, obsidian bricked rooftops. He looked down and saw legs merrily being swung back and forth like swings and then, he felt his balance going off and then he fell.

As he fell past the several floors in the school block, regret grasped his thoughts. He had so much more to fufill in his life. He had a wife to get. Wait scratch that. He had a diploma to get. A nice hot red convertable and control over his " gift " as others called it.

Just as about as he was about to get his face introduced into the gravel floor, a male boy with a face that seemed so familiar jumped into the way and tried to stop the fall.

Once again, the world disintergrated before Genesis's eyes and then once again, he was back within his shoes. Not falling and about to die but safely sitting on the chair, tightly gripping his pen in his hand. Sweat breaking down his forehead and his breath as if he had just ran a marathon.

Genesis ran out after coming back to his mind and dashed out the wooden doors which he had previously and out to the courtyard and ran to the crowd. Genesis attempted to push his way through the crowd. Unfortunately, the horde of people were abit too much.

Genesis reached into his mind and linked it to the crowd. He tapped into their memories and made them rush off for things that were far more important. Most ran off. A few just absolutely nothing to do. Genesis wondered to himself. How is it that they have nothing to do?! He tried clearing his time table the best he could but the homework never stopped pilling up. It came to a point where he just gave up on them.

As people wandered off, Genesis grabbed the boy by the collar and used his psi kinetic abilties to bring the girl both up into his dormitory. He had to do it. He knew why the girl fell. Much better to prevent a student expelled and joining the Revolutionaries.

" Why is everything so dark??.... so empty??" Artemis thought to himself or said to himself, either way it was hard to judge what one was doing when floating in emptyness. Artemis used one arm to give a sharp pinch to the another, feeling a sharp pain in his arm, he concluded that he was not dead and yet he was floating around somewhere. Artemis closed his eyes and thought for awhile, a smile emerged on his face.

He take several deep breaths and slowed his breathing, he slowly closed his eyes. After awhile, he slowly opened his eyes and reality returned to his eyes, although he was in a weird room filled with books. Artemis looked around, the room was like a normal room the school provided for the students except for all the books on psychology.

Artemis spotted the girl that was with him just lying a few feet away from him on a bed, Artemis got off and examined the girl for injuries. The girl's eyes suddenly flicked open, surprising Artemis causing him to move back and crushing into a cabinet knocking him out once again. The girl stared at Artemis for a few seconds before moving closer to him and poking his face in an fruitless attempt to wake Artemis up.

She eventually managed to use one of the books lying on the floor as a make-shift alarm, she somehow managed slammed the book into Artemis'es face successfully waking him up but also causing him to have a mild nosebleed. The girl smiled and helped him up but before Artemis could ask her for her name, the front door opened in a hurry that Artemis instinctively let loose a blast of wind which the stranger at the door managed to deflect after being pushed a few feet back. Artemis stepped forward and got himself ready for a fight in case the stranger meant harm.

"My, my. Rather agressive isn't he. " Genesis thought to himself after deflecting a gale of wind coming from his room. Genesis reached out using his abilities, moving through the room unhindered and entered the mind of the boy. " Be calm. This is school. You are safe. " were the thoughts Genesis had implanted within the other boys mind. Genesis planted his hand on the door knob once again. He gently pushed it open.

Apparently, the girl was also concious. The girl wore a worried look upon her face. Undoubtedly because she was afraid of who was coming in and why the boy in the room had reacted so harshly upon seeing someone trying to enter. Genesis wondered why the girl would be afraid of someone entering the room. Then he concluded. Who wouldn't be afraid after waking up in a place you don't even recognise. Genesis hoped that they would at least know that this was school, afterall, the dorms were no different from each other. Except when they were altered by rich parents as well as the fact that students on the dean's list had bigger rooms as a privilege.

Genesis's scarlet eyes met the boy's. As the other boy stared deep into his eyes, Genesis reached out to probe his mind. The boy's mind had no current thoughts except for "Ouch, nose bleed, nose bleed, nose bleed! " Genesis shifted his focus. The boy really was bleeding. Worse of all. The blood was flowing onto his bed. He folded his arms and frowned. A thing he did regularly when he was disappointed or irritated and perhaps even confused. Most of the time, irritated. He closed his eyes and shifted them onto the girl. She fidgeted uncomfortably as he gazed into her soul. She couldn't stand looking into those eyes and quickly retreated into looking at her hands. Oh no, they wouldn't harm her. Definately.

Genesis had noted her fair skin and her slim physique and she had raven coloured hair which Genesis found quite attractive. Sadly, romance wasn't a thing for him. He shifted his gaze again but now, to his carpet where a blood stained psychology book laid. He didn't need his abilities to figure out what happened here. Oh no. He saw no reason why the boy would take the book and smash his own nose and so, came to the conclusion that the girl did it for him. For what reason he didn't know.

Genesis stretched out a finger and then said " Well, since the both of you are awake now, welcome to my lair. I'm Genesis." He glanced at the reactions of both of his fellow schoolmates to make sure they got what he just said. Took a deep breath and then said " Anyways, I just saved you - he pointed at the boy - from what could have been expellation from the school and you, - pointing at the girl who fidgeted once again under Genesis's gaze - from what could have been a nasty interrogation. So, feel free to tell me who you are, what are your abilities and hopefully, what the hell happened. "

Genesis smiled and looked at both his schoolmates again. He knew this was going to be rather interesting.

Artemis was not one who could stay stunned for long but the way that the student mentally entered his mind and deflected one of his weaker attacks that easily was simply.....stunning. Artemis was found to have enormous potential if he concentrated on honing his skills but Artemis could not care less, he was far more interested in doing something interesting and fun rather then studying. He tend to learn things at a much faster rate then the rest, and was able to get the highest score on a paper to win bid between him and the entire school staff including the principal which resulted in giving several people heart-attacks, sending his test paper half way round the world for checking, well one could not be too careful when betting all access to anywhere in school which meant the weapons room and the laboratory.

Artemis stop thinking about the past and concentrated on the matter at hand, which was who the hell is this guy, why the hell is that girl and why the hell is his nose still bleeding.

Artemis straighten himself before talking. " Artemis, junior 1st year or was it 2nd??, anyway my ability is well, you should know what it is after a taste of it awhile back, as for what the hell happened, no idea, i was there to sleep on the roof before i saw this graceful lady attempting to fly."

Artemis then turned and looked at the girl, they something started buzzing in his head like he met her before, Artemis stared at the girl's face intently making her feel uneasy.

" Err, this maybe a dumb line considering that we have already seen each other but i have to ask have we met before??"

The girl looked down and shook her head, Artemis on the other hand was still searching the confines of his mind until he saw her fringe clipped up with a pin with an unusual mark, then he remembered something

" AHHH!!! NOW I REMEMBER!" Artemis shouted loudly startling Genesis and the girl.

" Yer from my hometown!! if i'm able to remember correctly your name has has something to do with a....." Artemis slowly scratched his head and thinked.

" Fruit??"

The girl shook her head with a smile.

" Vegetable??"

Once again the girl shook her head, Artemis thought, focusing on the mark on the pin and seeing Genesis sighing and taking a seat.

Artemis finally remembered the insignia on the pin, it was made by him to give to his only true friend that didn't shunned him when his powers manifested

" hmmm how could i ever forget.. Reith."

The girl's smile grew wider. " Glad you remembered as your punishment you are to show me around the school since i've just arrived." Artemis nodded happily.

Then Reith turned to Genesis. " Reith, freshman, ability is err well nothing i guess" Artemis looked at Reith in an arkward sort of way, and shrugged the feeling off, they stood there waiting for Genesis to react or answer before hearing a loud boom coming in the corridor. Artemis sighed and put his hand on his hand as a sign of disappointment as he recognised the boom coming from a certain idiot then incidently was his friend

Genesis continued to think; it was odd for him not to know Artemis. They were in the same junior year yet, they've never met. Genesis reached into reaches of Artemis's mind and then concluded that this was the other one of the three "Beyond Gifted" students in Junior Year 2. One of them having turned bad and joining the Revolutionaries, One being Artemis and obviously Genesis.

No wonder Genesis never met Artemis. The second gifted student was equally bright but more rebellious. Genesis never enjoyed a rowdy crowd but perhaps now, was the time to forge "alliances" especially with the rising activities of the Revolutionaires. A bunch of humans whom stole powers of "gifted beings" refered to as Abominations because after that, they mutate and then theres the other normal "gifted beings" that join the higher caste of the Revolutionaires. Their governing caste. Mainly consisting of the most powerful, morally broken and possibly psychotic "gifted beings".

We lived in a very very dangerous world.

Either you fight, or die.

Genesis was pulled out of his thoughts upon wandering across the girl's name. Reith. Somehow, he felt that he was forgetting something. Something about Reith. His mind felt numb and his body weak upon thinking about whatever he forgot about her. She was powerless or so she claims. Genesis put away his worries for the time being. She didn't look very much like a threat though, Genesis knew all too well that looks could be deceitful.

Genesis shut his eye lids and then glanced at Artemis who seemed to have his hand on the door knob.

"Going to find that sound?" asked Genesis with a curious tone. Genesis smirked at Artemis after the question flowed out of his mouth.

"This day is getting more interesting with each moment." Genesis thought to himself.

Artemis did not have time to reply to Genesis question and instead opened the door in a hurry and rushed to one of the windows by the corridor which was graciously packed with students interested in the commotion. Artemis pushed past all of them and caught sight of the current situation his idiotic friend has gotten into.

One of the few gangs of the school had surrounded him and pushed him into a huge tree, some of them got overly-excited and activated their powers a bit too early earning them a whack by their neighbour.

Artemis immediately leaped out the window and landed feet first, startling most of the students watching, Artemis landed feet first and managed to get the crowd cheering even though the situation was already delicate as it is. Artemis rushed forward and used his powers to get there even before the leader could raise his hands for the attack signal.

Usually just the sight of Artemis could scare attackers away but occasionally people let their pride get over them and try to win Artemis which always ends in failure which and constantly helping his friend in fights gave Artemis his unwanted nickname, " The White Demon ".

Artemis saw the gang members back down slowly but the leader who obviously could not swallow his pride showed signs of fear and agression.

" Damn it Zack... what the hell did you do this time? I have my own things to do ya know.." Artemis whispered behind him, loud enough for his friend, Zack to hear.

" All i did was pull one little prank, that's all "
" And what might i ask is this little prank?"

And thats when the leader shouted and ordered the other members to fight or face the punishments later. " Hold that for now just kick these guys faces to the ground.." And with that said, Artemis slowly walked towards them, and just yawned for a long while and loudly too.

The gang leader roared with agression and signaled his members for reinforcements which came in less than a minute, obviously they had been planning to take Artemis out not that he cared anyway, Artemis started laughing which creeped Zack and the so-called audience out. Soon the laughter subsided and was replace with words.

" Ahh... that felt good, ooo, a hundred to two, guess it will be a fair fight after all just twenty of you guys will be too easy." Artemis then waited for them to come at him, which didn't take long after all who wouldn't been interested in taking out " The White Demon " Glory was to follow after that achievement, as for Zack who was just a regular student facing a hundred people was suicide but with one of the " Beyond Gifted " students impowered him with courage he never knew he had.

Genesis frowned as Artemis avoided his question and walked out the door into the hallway and then jumped out a window. "That mad fool." thought Genesis as he walked out the door and followed Artemis's process of getting out. Genesis neared the opened window and jumped out the window. Gracefully, he carried himself down using his abilities and stopped a couple of meters from the ground. He levitated above the ground looking at the commotion from above.

The fool was outnumbered, a hundred to one. The odds would undoubtedly escalate as students try to take the chaos as an opportunity to use their powers. Usually, when such fights occured, the school would suffer great financial loss that was unless, Genesis stepped in and gathered the debris together, turning pieces into what they once were. Genesis looked at Artemis guarding another student. One thing he noted was that Artemis had a face of anticipation.

Even as powerful " Beyond Gifted " student was, it was highly unlikely, that they would be able to take on a hundred different powers without exhausting their energy reserves and thus unable to use their abilities. As much as Genesis did not want to participate, he had little choice. He had to intervene.
If Artemis was unable to use his abilities, the school would be at a greater risk from outsider attacks.

Genesis manipulated his ability. Air gathered around his back forming what looked to be long black wings with a purplish hue. At this point, he gathered alot of attention. The crowd was in awe. Most of them were wondering, how many damn powers are " Beyond Gifted " students able to control, learn and manipulate?!

Genesis caught Artemis's sight and then created a mental link " Sorry Artemis, but I cannot allow you to fight this alone."

Genesis himself had several rivals wanting to destroy him. Mainly because he was an asshole as well as the fact that people were envious of his abilities. More people joined the crowd though more focused on Genesis then Artemis with the bonus reinforcements, the crowd only grew roudier and within moments someone did something stupid.

They struck first blood. Hoping to defeat gods amongst them. How silly they were.

Genesis could go all out and possibly, destroy all of them but, obviously that would be the silliest thing to do and Genesis did n't do silly. As he linked himself to the minds of the crowd, he saw Artemis with a face filled with fury. Genesis quickly deflected a mind blast directed at him and quickly sent it back to where it came. A student dropped to the ground.

The inner battle had begun.

"It is time to kick ass." spoke Genesis through the mental link.
He grinned to himself as he continued to deflect and link minds to himself.

" hah.. hah... hah... damn it.. this is way harder than i imagined..." Artemis muttered under his hasty breath and quickly deflected shards of ice thrown at him while trying to dodge flames from his side, which unfortunately burned his arm slightly, sending pain throughout his arm. Angrily, Artemis used a powerful blast of wind to throw the people surrounding him a few meters, sending them on a head on collision with the side of the school, the lucky ones flew through windows and kept going, the unfortunate one crashed with the brick wall, things broke, not the wall for sure.

But the second wave of people easily replaced the bunch with even more people, just then people started dropping on the floor, Artemis saw Genesis and knew what he was doing but was not exactly happy about the crowd that gathered for Genesis. Artemis was already overwhelmed by the sheer power of the gathered abilities, each had their own powers, either physical or mental powers, though Artemis was trained to handle extreme battle situations, this was really pushing his abilities to the limit.

Artemis felt his left arm going numb but managed to shake it off after punching a guy squarely in the temple. Even after fighting for so long, the people seemed endless, but the fight came to a stop after an artillary strike bombared the area they were fighting when the first cartriage hit the ground all the gang members stopped and looked at the sky with wide-eyes and then in a spilt second rushed back to school shouting with all their might.

Casualities were many and for some death was certain unless someone helped them, Artemis then created a sort of vortex that sent the cartriages back, stretching the vortox to cover the entire courtyard pumping all his remaining power into the shield holding it until everyone was safe, though some people thought he was stupid, saving his enemies but all the power was needed if an invasion force would arrive. Artemis saw the last one go into the building before rushing back himself, being drained of powers, Artemis collasped predicting that he would hit the floor hard, but instead was caught by someone with long black hair, the worried look pasted into her eyes.

At that point Artemis passed out completely losing everything of the nightmare that had befallen the school.

Correction By Bert!

" Hah.. hah... hah... damn it.. this was way harder than I had imagined."
Artemis muttered hastily under his breath. Reacting quickly, he deflected shards ofice thrown at him while trying to dodge flames from his side, unfortunately, even with his best efforts, the flame scorched his skin sending pangs of pain throughout his arm. Angered by the pain, Artemis sent a powerful blast of wind towards the people surrounding him. The strong gale sent them on a head on collision with the side of the school, the lucky ones flew through windows and kept going, the unfortunate ones crashed with the brick wall, things broke, not the wall for sure. ( Nice humor over here lol)

The gap in the lines were quickly filled by the hordes eagerly waiting to get a piece of the action, just then people started dropping on the floor, Artemis saw Genesis and knew what he was doing but was not exactly happy about the crowd that gathered for Genesis. Artemis was already overwhelmed by the sheer power of the gathered abilities, each had their own powers, either physical or mental powers, though Artemis was trained to handle extreme battle situations, this was really pushing his abilities to the limit.

Artemis felt his left arm going numb but managed to shake it off after punching a guy squarely in the temple. Even after fighting for so long, the waves of excited students seemed inexhaustiable. Suddenly, the fight came to a standstill. The sound of bomb shells soaring through the sky at mad speeds sounded through the air. Explosions bombarded the area they were fighting when the first cartriage hit the ground all the gang members stopped and looked at the sky with wide-eyes and noticed the carnage. The wounded were gasping, people were screaming. Fear was abrupt in the school. The enemies had struck when they left an oppourtunity. They fled back into the school compound quickly. Shouting with all their might hoping to alarm as many students as possible to the threats outside.

Casualities were in the hundreds and for some death was certain unless someone helped them, Artemis acted on his feet and created a of vortex that repelled the cartriages, stretching the vortex to cover the entire courtyard pumping all his remaining power into the shield holding it until everyone was safe, though some people thought he was stupid, saving his enemies but all the power was needed if an invasion force would arrive.
Artemis saw the last one go into the building before rushing back himself, being drained of powers, Artemis collasped predicting that he would hit the floor hard, but instead was caught by someone with long black hair, the worried look pasted into her eyes.

"This is fucked." thought Genesis. Not only had one of the biggest gang fights just occured in the school but it was also being sieged by the Revolutionaries.
This was a SNAFU. ( Situation Normal All Fouled[Fucked too] Up) With the school severly short on man power, holding the fort would be definately alot more difficult. Looking upon the ground, Genesis saw Artemis like never before. He was bending the very wind. Although it was supposed to be destructive, he somehow managed to make it do the opposite of it's purpose which was to defend.

Now that definately took great grasp of your abilities.

Genesis imbued the Vortex with his own abilities. He made whatever touched or entered the vortex return to it's owner or sender. In short, bombshells and whatever the hell the revolutionaries sent were being reflected back. Genesis saw gigantic explosions erupting outside of the school grounds. Energy levels around the school dropped drastically. Hundreds if not, thousands of revolutionaries must have fallen.

This was one reason why Genesis didn't like people joining the Revolutionaries. They were usually slain by him. Suddenly, the vortex stopped. Genesis felt his mental link with Artemis grow faint on his end. Genesis looked at the school doors leading into the canteen. Artemis was in that odd looking girl's hands.

At least he was safe.

Genesis was distracted by Artemis when a flaming sphere of fire was directed at him. Genesis had moments to spare. His wings quickly shielded him and generated a repulse shield reflecting the projectile. It was not safe to stay here. Genesis was severly outnumbered. Worst of all if all the attacks were targeted at him, there was no telling which his shield could hold back.

Though, with most attacks being uncontrolled and weak, he'd have little difficulty defending himself. The problem would be the stronger revolutionaries. Their highest caste was about equally as strong as a Descendent of Firsts. Rumors had spread around the school that the "Beyond Gifted" students were actually Descendents of Firsts. Genesis knew that the school actually had been tracking the descendents and knew who they were. Secondly, the school also applied neural dampeners to control them lest they go mad with power. Thirdly, the descendents were never told what they really were.

A massive pain wrecked Genesis's head. He was expanding too much power reflecting the attacks. " Damned Neural Dampener..." thought Genesis as he fell to the floor. With all his might, he reached out for Artemis.

" Return to yourself. Awake, Artemis."

Genesis's world slowly faded away as he landed and crumpled on the grass.

Artemis once again was dropped deep into his subconscious, memories attacked him, past visions of his family dumping him into the gifted school at the first sight of his powers, how his family shunned him and treated him like an outsider. Artemis forced those memories deep into his mind and locked them, never to be ever seen or talked about again.

Artemis felt someone talking to him, and then felt a mental push, like a slap on the face. Then the force got harder and hit him, forcing him to wake up. Just in time to see Reith holding a fire extingusher over his head with her eyes closed, Artemis eyes widened and quickly rolled away. Reith dropped the fire extingusher and heard a clunk, surprised she opened her eyes and saw Artemis staring at her with suspecting eyes.

" OKAY!... that's offical, you are trying to kill me"

Reith reply was a quick slap and a hug which was surprising quite comforting for Artemis. After Artemis and Reith pulled away, Artemis scanned the chaotic war zone, the school building obviously could not handle anymore attacks, half the total students in the school was beaten senseless by Artemis and Genesis and above all, his nose was bleeding.

Artemis looked out to the battlefield, a few uninjured students rushed forward to try to be the hero, but was badly beaten and left to rot on the battlefield. Artemis stood up slowly and used his powers to pull all the students foolish enough or rather brave enough to step onto the field back into the school building. Even that relatively simple task placed a huge amount of mental pressure on him causing him to fall to his knees, clutching his head with his hands. It was as though there were people ramming hammers onto his fragile head.

Artemis clutched the wall for support and slowly stood up, a hand shot out and helped him up. Looking up, Artemis saw the worried look on Reith's face again, Artemis just smiled and assured her everything is alright. Artemis then stood up, staggering a bit and walk onto the battlefield, looking like a fool if he died or a hero if he won
