BP: I don't know why the hell am I writing this, but for those who like my other stories, I hope you can bear with me for a while. This is actually a requested fic, but the plot is up to me to decide. I had this idea for a long time, so I am using it now, so I hope you bear with me. It is a school that is full of Nen people (like Gold Star Academy, but it had both boys and girls this time) and a dash of Lorien Legacies! Sorry, I like HunterxHunter too much!
"Well, here's your stop, boys and girls. We'll hand all your personal documents to the headmaster and deliver the baggage to your dormitory rooms when your Star Ranks are announced. Enjoy your stay at Nen Academy!" the private bus driver said to the people in the bus.
Ryoma, along with the other pupils, grabbed their school bags, and stepped out of the bus. He stepped into the school compound and looked around. It was very ordinary, alright. There was a huge plaque that proclaimed the school's motto and values. Another had all the school's past achievements all over it followed by a shelf containing trophies and medals stocked inside. His friends came sidling up to him, and they walked together.
"Looks like an ordinary school to me, Hessu, Towa." He mumbled to his two friends.
Hessu nodded. "You'd think it is a school for ordinary people."
Ryoma looked at Hessu. Hessu may look like an ordinary girl, but she's actually a Garde from the planet Lorien. Her mother is both a sorceress and Garde, while her father is a Nen user. They met on Earth, and married in Lorien. Upon discovering the fact that Hessu has her mother's ability of sorcery and producing hexes and manipulating the probability of bad luck, along with her Legacies, she also had the knack of using Nen techniques and even can use one naturally, she was sent here to develop her Nen techniques further. She is already considered very formidable in battle, considering the powers she was born with and how she was forced to train since young.
The three of them met one another at a Hunter Exam last year, and quickly became good friends. All three of them collaborated together, and they passed, making all of them Hunters now.
"Yeah, but it's actually a school for people who have Nen aura in them. Some sort of Nen genius." Towa replied.
Ryoma knew what he had meant. The Nen geniuses mean someone who has some form of Nen aura before 15 (the minimum age of being able to enter Nen Academy). However, there are those that are called the elite geniuses.
Nen is like any other skill, in that there are those who will learn it faster than others. Some are able to discover and learn to manipulate their aura on their own without having formally learned it. These individuals are typically known as the elite geniuses. This can be anything from inadvertently being able to use the basic techniques of Nen or unconsciously developing a unique Nen ability that can be used without really understanding how or why one is able to do so. Typically, geniuses of Nen are exceptional artisans in their own fields and their abilities are related as such.
Ryoma nodded absent-mindedly as they were lead to the Training Center to decide their Star Rank. They are individually tested according to alphabetical order. This means Towa's (Aikawa) in front, Ryoma (Echizen) is somewhere in the middle but nearer to the front than the back, and Hessu's (Worthington) near the end. Ryoma wondered what Star Rank he would get, considering he knew that he is already a Specialist, and he knows at least one Nen technique.
When his name was called, he walked to the center of the gym. The teachers asked him to demonstrate his use of Ten, Ren, Zetsu and Hatsu, the four basic principles of Nen. He also demonstrated the more advanced ones, such as Gyo, In, En, Shu, Ken, Ko, and Ryu, although those are pretty shaky. He also demonstrated one of his Nen techniques he naturally discovered when he was ambushed when he was younger- Extreme Steaming Murder. Ryoma creates several flaming orbs that resemble small suns. These orbs rotate around him and can be freely controlled to attack enemies. When an orb touches an opponent, it apparently evaporates all the water inside their body, leaving them in a mummified state. When this happens, steam can be seen emitting from the opponent's body.
The teachers nodded and evaluated him, and they handed him a badge that has a star enclosed in a circle- Meaning he's a Special Star. The teachers also told him that he has to be transferred to the Year 1 SS Class- the class for Special Stars only, and he has to have extra training for Nen, so that he would be even stronger. Ryoma nodded his thanks, and went to join Towa in the waiting room.
"So, how did it go?" Towa asked him.
"Special Star. You?"
"Special as well. The teachers also sent me to the Year 1 SS Class."
"Me too. What did you show to the teachers?"
"I showed them my control of the four basic principles, the more advanced principles, and also demonstrated I can manipulate paper and wind with my paper fan."
Ryoma nodded, just as the door open, and Hessu came out. She held out her Special Star badge.
"The teachers liked my control of my Legacies and Nen techniques. They especially liked the Healing Legacy I demonstrated." Hessu smiled. "They also liked the Lovely Ghostwriter, which can predict the future."
"You have more than 1 Legacy, right?" Ryoma asked.
"Of course. But what's the fun if I reveal them all no?" Hessu shrugged.
Just then, the last person came out, and the teacher announced, "Alright, everyone, we have evaluated all of you, and we have assigned the rooms according to your Star Rank. We'll deliver the baggage to your dormitory rooms during lunch, and you'll receive the key to your rooms later in the day. You may all go for lunch now! Take note, your uniforms will be in the closet of your room. You can wear whatever you like for training, though, as long as it is comfortable for your training." The first-years moved noisily towards the cafeteria.
Apparently, the food is assigned according to Star Rank too. Hessu, Ryoma and Towa got large portions of lunch, and they sat down on a table. Each table is round and would only fit about ten people. Their classmates looked on in envy at the amount of food they got. Ryoma noticed that some of their classmates do not have a badge pinned to their collar, and they had a small portion of food.
"Hey, why do you think some do not have a Star pinned to their collar?" Ryoma whispered, as he started on the soup.
"I think it's because they have No Star Ranking." Towa replied.
"How do you know?" Ryoma asked.
"My brothers attended this school as well. No Star Ranking is assigned when someone couldn't even use one of the four basic principles. When you can use one, you are already considered a Single Star."
"Then why are they here?" Hessu said in a bored tone.
"Probably because their family can use Nen, so they are sent here, or they do show some signs of Nen aura, so the school have no choice but to invite them here."
"Oh." Ryoma continued to shovel down his food.
After lunch, the students were required to do a Water Divination to find out their Nen type. Divination requires one to float a leaf atop a glass of water. A student of Nen will place their hands around the glass and perform Ren. The resulting effect from one's aura contacting the glass will determine a person's aura type. However, since the trio already knew their Nen type, unlike most of his classmates, they have a free period, so the teacher instructed them to go to their rooms and changed into their uniforms, while handing them the keys to their dorms.
Besides the school, there is a dorm designed exclusively for the students in the school. This will be their home until they graduate from the school. Each Star Rank has 4 entire floors. (Not counting No-Stars. Towa mentioned that No-Stars sleep in rooms up at the attic and they have to share rooms). You simply step onto the elevator and press the first two digits of your room number. Easy enough to remember.
The trio was impressed with the elevator. The walls of the elevator are made of crystal so that they can watch the people on the ground shrink to ants as they shot up into the air. It's exhilarating in Ryoma's opinion.
After promising to meet in half an hour at the garden, they made their way to their own respective rooms.
Ryoma's room is really huge. It has a bedroom with a bed that can fit three of him in it, a private dressing area, and a private bathroom with hot and cold running water. The shower alone has a panel with more than a hundred options he can choose regulating water temperature, pressure, soaps, shampoos, scents, oils and massaging sponges, When one steps out on a mat, heaters come on the blow-dry one's body. Instead of struggling with the knots in one's hair, one can simply place his hand on a box that send a current through, untangling, parting and drying his hair almost instantly. There is also a big study table with study lights, a television with all channels and a large window with blue curtains separating his room from the balcony.
There is a walk-in closet filled with fine clothes, and Ryoma found that his uniform has been left for him at the front of the closet. It consists of a black jacket and a white undershirt. The ribbon is dark blue in color. The jacket also has blue lines at the sleeves and going down horizontally at the sides of the opening. The uniform also has blue plaid pants and black shoes. Ryoma dressed in the outfit, noting that the uniform is warm, considering the cool temperature of the room. He pinned his Special Star badge at his collar.
He smiled. He looked smart in the uniform.
He checked the clock in horror. He was late to meet his friends! He grabbed his room key and sprinted out of his room. He need not worry about locking, because the doors can auto-lock by itself. He collided with something hard, and fell on his butt.
"Hey, watch where you're going brat! You might ruin Ore-sama's face you know."
Ryoma took a good look at the boy he crashed into. Purple hair, grey eyes, and a Special Star badge pinned to his collar as well. By his expression, it looks like he's pissed off. (Guess who?)
"Gee, Monkey King, I would apologize but you're such a narcissistic bastard, it erases all apologies." Ryoma retorted, jumping up, and dusting the dirt off his uniform. With that, he left the corridor, leaving the other boy standing there, stunned.
Ryoma had a feeling that he will meet that boy again. To confirm that, he would ask Hessu to use her Lovely Ghostwriter to predict his future.
With that thought in mind, he increased his speed, eager to find Hessu.
Meanwhile, the boy he abandoned smiled. He is going to find out who that Special Star boy is.
And why he didn't fall victim to his allure.
BP: Darn! For a request fic, this is really bad, I only had 10 minutes to write this, because I had NOT recovered from my sickness. Well, I hope you enjpy this and please review!
