Welcome, Chosen Ones

Waking up in the morning feels better than usual. Being called the "chosen one" feels somewhat exciting. Now I actually have a reason to feel great about myself.

"You look great today, Raku. Though you are skinny now, I'm sure that flat stomach will become abs." I told myself as I looked in the mirror.

Being skinny was a problem. People made fun of me at school for it, but I'm sure once I get abs from this training, I'll get as many girls after me as Gin has. Possibly, I could have more.

My hair, for one thing, is very unstyled. It's cut short, and is black. My under eyes are dark like a panda's. Everything about my face looks weird.

"Maybe I should try wearing makeup..."

I then glanced over at the time and saw that it was almost 05:00. "Ah, crap. I need to go." Someday I'll become hot.

"Good morning, chosen ones. Some of you may have met me before, but for those of you who are new, my name is master Yoji." The man I met yesterday informed the students.

"Nice to meet you, master Yoji!" The students exclaimed.

"Nice to meet everyone too." Master Yoji smiled. "Before you all graduate and begin battling the monsters up front, you need training. So today's first lesson will be learning jow to summon your power."

Summoning your power? I need to practice that.

"Alright, and begin."

Most of the students in the class began using their powers. Some had fire, water, and ice, while some others had speed, mind manipulation, and sleeping manipulation.

Even though people had no problems, I couldn't summon my power.

"Come on..." I stretched my arm in front of me trying to cause time manipulation. "Why isn't it working?"

I could hear some of the students laughing at me while I sounded like I was trying to be G*ku or something.

"Try focusing, Watanabe." Master Yoji looked at me sternly.

I needed to focus. I didn't know why it wasn't working even when I tried to focus. Did I even have a power? Why was I able to do it when I blacked out?

"This is odd." Master Yoji said as he continued watching me focus. "You are probably not focusing enough."

"No!" I screamed as I gasped for air. "I'm really focused. I don't know why it isn't working. Are you sure I was the ome who defeated that monster?"

Suddenly, all the students became silent. "He defeated a monster on his own? What?" They began to mumble.

It might have not even been me. Maybe that old man isn't even dead. He could have been the one who killed that monster. Maybe he was playing a prank on me...

I then felt someone slap my face. It was so fast I didn't see who had done it. "What?"

"Don't talk about master Miyagi in that matter, Watanabe!" Seiji said with the palm of his hand red. He was the one who had slapped me. "Don't take master Miyagi lightly like that!"

"Seiji..." Master Yoji looked at Seiji. "Students, meet your one-on-one one combat teacher, master Seiji."

"Nice to meet you, master Seiji!" The students bowed.

Seiji cleared his throat and then dusted himself off. "Nice to meet you too students. I'll see you all at 13:00. Good bye." Seiji then took his leave.

"That guy is in trouble." I heard the students mumble.

Master Yoji then patted my shoulder. "You shouldn't blame others for your confusion, Watanabe."

"Alright, students. Let's practice summoning again." Master Yoji nodded his head.

I suppose I was in the wrong there for speaking badly upon a dead person's name. Geez. What's wrong with me?
