Around 12am in the morning, a machine voice could be heard from a wristwatch.
" Good morning Vic, today is your Birthday "
" Manifestation will now begin "
" Please be patient as it will take a while before the manifestation of your robot will complete "
Meanwhile the owner of the wristwatch was partially asleep, the wristwatch did it's part to make him conscious of what was happening, but the mind seemed to be struggling as well. As you know, sleep are essentially needed by the body. No matter how hard you try, you can't stop yourself from sleeping off.
Early in the morning, In a tiny room, two figures could be seen standing by the edge of a bed. The owner of the wristwatch was the one sleeping in the bed. It was a small bed.
"1! 2! 3!" Vic's dad said as he was hoping to make the next wordings to be uniformed between him and his wife. "Happy Birthday Vic!!" They both shouted.
"Thanks mum, thanks Dad." Vic said as he got off from his bed. Giving his parents a very tight hug.
"You know, your dad and I have been hoping to take you out on this special day." Vic's mum explained.
"Oh!! Sorry mum, but I have a basketball tournament coming up by next week," Vic replied, "I need to practice today with my friends, I'm really sorry for disappointing you Dad."
"No! It's nothing, just make sure you come home early." Vic's Dad replied.
"I'll be heading to the bathroom now"Vic said as he went towards the bathroom.

"Come on, pass it to me" a boy said
"Pass it you idiot!" another boy shouted, but someone grabbed the ball, passing it around before another person finally threw it into the basket.
"Yessssss!!"
"We won"
Currently, team alpha was playing against team sphere in a basketball game. The points are 60:40, which means team Alpha are the winning team. Vic was standing at the back looking depressed. Unfortunately, he was on the losing team.
Just then some guys approached Vic, they were four in number.
"Didn't I tell you? He is a psycho, imagine how silly he acts when playing" one of the boys shouted, gaining a few attentions from people around.
"You don't deserve to live!! you scumbag." Another boy said as he kicked Vic on the knee.
"I didn't know...I didn't know what happened..."
"Shut up you idiot, you'll pay for what you've done!" they said as they carried Vic and threw him on the floor. They started punching and kicking him all over. None one seemed to care about the poor boy that was beaten.
At this point, Vic's wristwatch started to glow blue. He saw the wristwatch glowing but he was unsure if the others saw it. Right in front of him stood four boys. They all have an ability, unlike Vic. He never did learn one, perhaps he was too busy with his computer. Many thought he had a system ability; an ability to communicate and work with computers. But many considered it as a weak ability to have. Vic on the other hand, never think of learning any ability.
" Light Alter skill activated "
" In three seconds "
" 3..! 2..! 1...! "
Blassstttt!!
There were about 40 people in the basketball court. Immediately all of them fell to the ground Including the four boys beating Vic.
"What? What happened??" Vic asked looking at the unconscious people on the floor.
" Light Alter skill is one of your free skills that alters the brain of the victim by making them unconscious for 10 minutes "
" You have nine minutes left for the skill to deactivate "
"I need to get out of here." Vic said as he moved towards the door, only to meet an unexpected predicament. About fifty cops were outside the basketball court. It's so rare to see a cop this days, many said they have been disbanded. some said they went to train at ability schools. Not all knew about this so called ability, so it would make sense if the cops were to be trained at the ability schools. This would be a great advantage for them if they go to the cities with no ability user within.
"Did they find out about me or what?"Vic wondered.
" five minutes left "
"Oh no!! How do I get out of here??" Vic shouted but quickly cautioned himself, to not get caught by the cops. Just then something surprisingly happened.
" Do you wish to teleport to your next scheduled destination? "
"My next scheduled destination??" As he thought of this, he remembered that he was going to his class after the morning training's over. Then he said; "Yes"
A bright white light shoned all over the hall. And slowly his body start disappearing, but he caught a few sight as he saw the unconscious people were starting to wake up, one by one. But Vic was quite glad that he had left the scene before they had fully woken up.
"Finally, I'm free!!" he said.
When he teleported right inside the class, he was quite glad that no one was in the class. So he went to sit on his seat, ruminating on all what had happened.
"Boy, that was a close one. But what's that light for, and...Wait! My watch doesn't give sound before, does it?...
.. Come on, this is bothering me."Vic said.
" An invisibility ability user detected "
" Blocking the use of ability "
A female girl with a neatly packed black hair was seen at the front seat.
"What!!" Vic was shocked to see someone in the classroom. But as he thought of what the wristwatch said, he thought the person might be using some sort of invisibility power.
"Oh shit! I'm exposed. Why is it not working" The girl mumbled as she saw that her invisibility power ran down...
.. "What are you looking at, silly?!"
"Umm... Sorry, but will you mind closing your shirt." Vic said as he noticed that a few buttons on the girl's shirt was missing.
"Oh shit! ...Thanks," she answered embarrassingly, "but what are you really doing here?" The girl asked, "the others have been told to not enter the classroom."
"Why? What happened??" Vic was a bit scared, because of what had happened in the Court.
"I think there's gonna be some kind of announcement in the News Hall." The girl replied, "Anyways, I'm Melody" stretching out her hand for a handshake.
"I'm Vic!" Grabbing the hands of the girl.
"You're the famous guy everyone has been talking of in our class" Melody said, as she mimicked the voice of the actress from the movie she watched last night.
"Oh that!, It's just because I'm not that good with any ability, I don't quite consider myself as an ability user" Vic replied, of course he didn't Know what to think, but no one in history achieve something good with such a weak ability.. a system ability. sometimes, he thought that he was given the ability for free, since he was young.
"Don't blame yourself, you don't really have to. Just remember something, even the weakest triumphs over the mighty." Melody said.
"Thanks!! I feel a lot better now" Vic said happily.
"It's almost time, we need to head to the Hall" Melody shouted as she rose up from her seat to dress up normally, when Vic lifted his eyes, he was stunned by her beauty.
"Oh, she's like a moon at day." Vic thought as he looked at her, making him feel like hugging her. But he quickly snapped out of it.
"So, do your ability cause hindrance to other abilities?" Melody asked, as she noticed that Vic was looking at her like some kind of arm robber.
"Ehhm, yes...no," Vic said as he stared at his wristwatch, "come on, free her ability or just do something"Vic whispered as he shifted his eye from the wristwatch back to the ground in disappointment.
"I really don't know how to control my ability yet.
Since your uniform is worn, do you mind putting on my cardigan??"
