11. Social Problems (Part 1)

  "Well! It seems that most of

  the students are present!" The professor announced, overseeing a

  half empty lecture hall, she smiled mildly.

  "You can call me Mrs. Yakima, and I can see there are a lot of

  interesting things going on in your lives." Yakima exclaims

  while glancing at the students who sit in the front, emitting smoke

  and glowing yellow.

  It took only 3 months for society to adjust to this new world. Or at

  least some part of it.

  Across from me are a bunch of students who seem enthusiastic about

  their new powers. Next to me is no one, I decided to sit alone for

  now, at least until I know someone won't accidentally kill me. When

  you got three brains, you think of more possibilities.

  "Alright, class, so today we won't be going over anything just

  yet. As you all know, or have already got used to, the world has

  changed a lot in just a couple of days. Today and for the next few

  days we will go over many safety regulations regarding the new

  powers, and also we will learn together what we know so far about

  these powers." She explained, while no one said a thing.

  I've had two clones running on max researching and writing this new

  phenomenon and listing lots of the data in spreadsheets, I wonder

  what they could teach me that I haven't learned yet. I certainly want

  to know how the energy works and how it reacts to different elements.

  Some students were chatting, most were quiet. I took out an empty

  notebook and started observing and taking notes of everything I saw

  that was interesting. Not that there may be anything noteworthy, but

  it could come in handy in the future.

  This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  I was sitting in the middle and slightly farther back. "For the

  first week we will just go around discussing our experience with our

  powers, if you don't want to talk about it because it might be

  personal then please don't force yourself, you can when ever you feel

  like it." The professor looks anxious.

  The professor started off by introducing her power and how it works.

  "I can make certain areas lose light, I'm not fully sure on how

  it works, but I just imagine a like an invisible box, and it seems

  that it absorbs light." Everyone looks at her like that's the

  most useless power given to a human. One girl in the front raises her

  arm and asks a question, "So isn't that kind of useless?"

  Pretty rude, but she is right. Although if she was able to cover the

  sun with it then that could be a dangerous power. I don't see it

  happening.

  "It's the one I've been given. I haven't found a very good way

  to use it, but I might if I keep experimenting." She said with

  sincerity. "Well, since you want to judge based on my power, how

  about you start us off by talking about yourself?"

  Judging people based on their powers is a major concept that I've

  already seen happening around social media. There definitely will be

  a caste system or some rank system that people will make and adjust

  towards.

  The girl stood up with a smirk, looked around for something, grabbed

  another student's notebook and tore a page off it, "hey what the

  hell that's mine!" Said the guy next to her. "Watch!"

  She says before holding the paper in her hand, and it slowly turns

  into a thin sheet of silver. The others make a surprised expression.

  "Stainless steel on demand!" She shouted as they started

  applauding.

  Okay, that certainly is a helpful

  power. It could be used for so many things. It looks like it just

  turns into steel but not as stainless as it did have many uneven

  formations. Wonder if it would work on humans, certainly interesting.
