"We need to see how the abilities work before we can come up with a solid battle plan," Leila said, nodding.
Mod
"Of course. I kinda wanna ask Arlo for a spar just to understand his powers work." She said with a giggle and smiled at Leila.
Chizu walked into the cafeteria, hands in his pockets. He looked around. He walked up to some random kid. "Hey, do any of you know who the knew Queen and Jack is?" Chizu asked the boy. There was so much gossip going around about someone who had beat the jack and queen earlier today, it was hard not to hear about it. The boy pointed to a pair of twins and Chizu said his thanks. He decided to walk over to them. "Hey. Rumors have it your the new freshman queen and Jack, right?" Chizu asked them. He hadn't really known the previous royals all that well, except for some cold encounters. Other than that, Chizu has only been a jack for about a week now.

"Cool! I'm Chizu! I'm also a freshman Jack. Though, I've only been Jack for about a week.... Anyways... It's a pleasured to meet you two." He said kindly, with a small nervous chuckle.

"I'm asking because, at our last school a girl like that was Queen, and I'm pretty sure she was expelled from there," Leila explained.

Chizu thought for a moment. "Arlo? I believe his power has something to do with shields, but I have no idea. Whenever I ask someone about it, they just tell me to shut up and leave them alone." Chizu said. He had been here for about a week, but within that week all he was hearing was rumors and gossip about the royals.
Mod
Corelle sat one table over, listening to their excited prattle. They honestly knew nothing of the royal team and their abilities? Didn’t they understand how dog-eat-dog this school was? And their ambitions to get stronger... well, this world wasn’t that fair. If effort was rewarded with strength, maybe that would be true, but power was given at birth, randomly distributed. She couldn’t help but cringe a little at the freshmen. “Arlo’s power is nigh unbeatable. It’s why he’s currently recognized as the most powerful student at our school,” she interjected, “He can create force fields that confine others and their abilities to a limited area, and he cant hen crush those inside. He uses varied strategies and never loses,” she stated. “Don’t think of challenging him; no one has ever seen his strength waver.” It wasn’t so much a lecture as friendly advice, she hoped. These kids were idealists; it would really hurt them if they got smashed week one. “I don’t think he’s the biggest fan of gossip either,” she advised, raising an eyebrow.
Mod
Corelle shrugged at Leila. “He’s kind of a grumpy jerk,” she said, with a bit of a smile, “You can’t count on a high teir’s mood, and nobody likes being talked about.”
Mod
Corelle nodded amiably, as if that was to be expected. “Arlo’s different. He’s a higher class of high tier,” she explained. It was some testament to her at least that she didn’t seem fazed at all, interacting with a group of high tiers. Corelle had a sort of casual confidence. “You really don’t want to get on his bad side, powerful or not. Especially not as you start at a new school. You’re freshmen, right?”
Mod
Corelle glanced at the girl, a little confused. "No glint?" she asked, "That's a unique trait. It gives you a rather unique perspective," she pointed out, "Why do you want it to be secret?"
Mod
"Some people already know how to surpass pain," Corelle debated, for argument's sake. "Though," she admitted, That is a pretty terrifying ability."
Mod
Chizu looked at Akinae. "Light manipulation?" He asked, remembering something about what his dad told him. His dad had an ability very similar to Chizu and always warned Chizu about things to avoid. "Haha... Remind me to never pick a fight with you." He said, chuckling nervously. "My ability would never stand a chance against Light manipulation."
((That’s kind of weird that they’re allowing multiple abilities, but cool, I guess.))Corelle offered nothing of her ability at this time. “Well, you can show me how it works then, can’t you?” She requested, smiling pleasantly. “Do you make the choice of what the person sees, or is it some image from their subconscious, like a nightmare drawn to the surface?”
Mod
Corelle was tempted to make a sarcastic, childish remark. She suddenly was struck with the training of stalwartness from her father, and with the insecurities of it not going over well with the group of students. It was important to remain friendly and distant, innocuous, and at least liked to some extent. She couldn’t handle being anyone’s target. She had to keep the library job and her studies top-notch, without interference. “I see an elongated nose,” she grinned, as if liking this situation, “What would happen if I..?” She stuck her hand through the nose.
Mod
"I don't see anything," Leila remarked.
Mod
((I’m not criticizing, just questioning, and not tearing down, but instead offering suggestions for how it could work. I’m interested, not insulting.))Corelle nodded, as if that was to be expected. “Your focus is awesome. Do you have to choose who to include, or do you have to choose who to exclude in your illusions?” She hesitated, trying to think of a better way to ask. “Would your illusions affect everyone if you didn’t choose to exclude people, or do you have to consciously include each individual you see? Could someone you don’t know about sneak in behind you while you’re focused on enchanting others?”
Mod
“I see,” she mused. “So it generally affects everyone unless someoneis excluded? That’s really awesome!” She was a but excited to learn new stuff like this. It was interesting.
Mod
“Thanks,” she said dismissively, then had to wonder if Akinae had altered her appearance to punish her for being too inquisitive, for pestering her. That actually could have happened... she’d been too enthusiastic about the ability. The best thing to do would just be to thank the fellow classmate, laugh it off, or just not acknowledge what was there. An easy solution she cooked up in her head! Simple. No fight or conflict. “Creepy can be really interesting,” she pointed out, “Like sea creatures, or...” she didn’t want to give away nightmare fuel, in case Akinae was not her friend... “Or Something like that.” She hoped she hadn’t hesitated much while picking her words.
Mod
“So...” she grinned, “you could make everyone in the cafeteria suddenly have a bowl of ice cream in front of them.” She almost wanted to see everyone enjoying a bowl of delicious air.
Mod
“I think you just became my favorite person,” Corelle confided, stifling a laugh, as the students around them began pigging out on nothing at all. At least, she knew it was nothing, but everything looked very real.
