The Door to a Hero Life
Thanks to the news of the supposed 'City F monster', the main entrance to the Hero Association's Headquarters was swarming with reporters and journalists. As if a first day for hero training couldn't be any more chaotic. Fortunately, the new students were asked to enter the building through a side entrance and ushered to an elevator that would take them to the fifth floor. There, they would find the classroom either from the arrows on the pearly walls, or the fact that it was the only part of the hallway that wasn't locked behind heavy-duty doors.
Aside from the state of the art DeskTop computer systems, on each desk sat a sleek, paper-thin device, just the right size to fit comfortably in a palm or pocket. Its screen was black, inactive until it was awakened by a new student. Upon being lifted from the table or touched, a soft chime emitted from an internal speaker and a ripple of pixels ran across the screen. After 2 seconds, the crest of Invictus Academy floated just above the device, suspended in digital weightlessness.
Pairing complete.
Welcome [student name] to Invictus Academy, and congratulations on taking your first step towards becoming a true hero.
The silky, synthetic voice paused for a moment. A picture of the student appeared on the screen, along with their name, age, gender, registered mutation, and grade information.
Naturally, the only real issue was that there was no instructor at the front of the room. The desk was empty and the podium stood alone before the students. Outside the room, the hallway was quiet in its stiff, sterile hum. Just like the ID, the DeskTop screens were unresponsive.
