The Unmasked
Chapter 3
We see many students, including Leon, Finn, and Isla, going to their classroom. all the students go into the classroom and sit down. This classroom is so big that almost 500 kids can easily sit in it.
Finn says to Leon, "Why don't they just take us to the ground and train us to use our powers?
I hate studying. I really suck at it."
Finn says to Leon, "Please, I am totally dependent on you for my studies."
Leon takes a deep breath and says, "Ok, now don't annoy me."
Leon sees Isla sitting with another girl. Leon thinks it seems Isla has made some good friends.
After this, the teacher comes into the class, and all students greet him with "Good morning!"
The sir greets them back and says, "Sit down."
Leon hears slight whispers from students that this teacher's name is Magnus Holloway.
He is famous for his strict nature and also for his control over his Blue Blood ice powers.
Leon says, "He looks quite interesting."
Hearing all the students whispering, the teacher releases a wave of energy in the class.
The whole class starts shivering under his chilling aura — it feels like their bodies are being pierced by eyes.
Then he takes his power back.
He says,
"I know a big accident happened where thousands of kids were killed by demons. This has never happened in history before. And you must be thinking, why are we starting your classes so soon?
All of you need time to recover, and that's true, but we don't have time to waste.
We have to train you and make you powerful so that something like this NEVER happens again.
Thousands of families lost their children.
Thousands of parents lost their will to live.
This was one of the worst accidents ever in history.
That's why we are starting your classes early.
Right now, all of you have too much anger and hate towards the demons — we will use that anger and rage to make you powerful."
After hearing this speech, all students are filled with rage and motivation.
All the students shout together,
"Yes sir! We will destroy every demon and take revenge for our people!"
After hearing this, Leon gets some flashbacks of Amelie dying.
He feels a surge of anger and releases some purple aura from his body, but no one notices except the teacher.
The teacher looks a little shocked after seeing Leon's aura but also smiles.
In the next scene, the teacher explains how every person's power source is their heart.
"If your heart is destroyed," he says, "your life ends — even the best healer in the country can't do anything."
Next, we see all the students gathered in a hall doing meditation.
A new teacher appears: Darius Falken, who is famous for his knowledge and his Green Blood powers — allowing him to control trees, roots, wood, and some healing.
We see Leon and Isla doing good in meditation, but Finn struggles a lot.
The teacher slaps him lightly on the head.
The teacher explains,
"This meditation is not for your mental peace.
While focusing on your heart during meditation, you can increase your power.
We call this process Genkame.
The more you focus, the more powerful you become."
Inside Leon's mind, he finds some purple dark energy roaming around his heart.
It makes it hard for him to focus.
He sees a very dark and creepy figure in his inner mind.
Leon starts sweating badly, like he's very afraid.
The sir notices this and stops the class.
He says, "That's enough for today. You guys should rest."
We see all the students very tired because Genkame takes a lot of energy.
As the teacher leaves, he says,
"This process will exhaust you after every session."
Finn says,
"Bastard teacher! Why didn't he tell us this before? A little exhausted?
I feel like my whole energy has been sucked out!"
Leon slaps Finn lightly on the head and says,
"You have to respect your teacher."
Finn says,
"I'm joking!"
Leon notices Isla doing really good.
He keeps thinking about the dark figure he saw.
He asks Finn and Isla if they saw anything strange during meditation — but they didn't experience anything like that.
Leon gets a little worried.
Finn grabs his shoulder and says,
"You think too much, buddy! Let's go to the next class!"
Finn's eyes are full of brightness.
Next, we see the physical training class.
Finn's eyes become wide and his mouth drops open when he sees the physical training teacher.
Other students are talking about her — her real name is Selene Aldridge.
She's a woman, but she is extremely powerful.
With her Blue Blood water powers, she can create weapons made of water.
She's famous for her deadly skills and sharp beauty.
People call her Aqua Baddie.
After hearing this nickname, Leon's face becomes weird and says,
"What the heck is this name?
And... does she even know people call her that?"
Finn, on the other hand, is almost lost in her beauty.
The teacher chooses some kids for friendly battles.
Leon kicks Finn's butt to make him go forward.
Finn stands in front of the teacher.
The teacher asks him what happened.
From the back, Leon shouts,
"Teacher! Finn is too excited for the battle!"
Finn glares angrily at Leon, who is laughing.
The teacher says,
"Nice, young man. I like your spirit. I choose you to battle this girl named Fanny."
Finn doesn't dare to say no to the beautiful teacher, so he agrees.
He sees his opponent, Fanny.
Leon also sees Fanny and remembers she's close friends with Isla.
Leon asks Isla, "How is Fanny?"
Isla smiles weirdly and says, "You'll see in the match."
Leon doesn't understand but says, "Okay."
The match is about to start.
Finn thinks,
"She's just a girl. I'll take her down easily with my explosion power."
The countdown starts: 3... 2... 1...
Finn says to Fanny,
"I'll give you the first hit."
But Fanny is not happy that Finn thinks she's weak just because she's a girl.
Fanny clenches her fist and punches Finn straight in the face — without using her powers!
Finn falls to the ground.
Everyone is stunned by Fanny's physical power.
Leon finally understands what Isla meant earlier.
Fanny says,
"You bastard pervert Finn!
Remember this punch for your whole life — women are not just for pleasing men.
Women are powerful and equal to men in strength and power too!"
Selene cheers for Fanny.
The students feel a little weird seeing the teacher cheer for a student.
Leon whispers to Isla,
"I think ma'am found someone with a similar personality."
Meanwhile, Finn, feeling embarrassed, stands up and says,
"You bloody Fanny! I'll show you my power!"
Finn cuts his finger, using his Orange Blood powers, and creates explosions toward Fanny.
Fanny cuts her own hand and uses her Fire powers to counter.
A huge explosion happens.
Smoke fills the air.
When the smoke clears, both Fanny and Finn are smiling but slightly injured.
Fanny throws a fireball toward Finn.
Finn counters with a small explosion.
As smoke covers Finn's view, Fanny sees an opportunity, clenches her fist covered in fire, and punches Finn again — sending him flying into the wall.
The students are watching with huge excitement.
The teacher is happy seeing the students' talents.
Selene announces,
"Finn, if you want to give up, we can stop the match."
But Finn refuses.
Selene is a little surprised but smiles.
Fanny walks toward Finn, ready to attack again.
But as she steps forward, something explodes under her foot — a tiny bomb Finn had planted!
Leon smiles and explains that when Finn was thrown back, he secretly scattered small explosive balls on the ground.
The teacher smiles too.
Fanny, a little injured, says,
"You little bastard!
I'll teach you what real power looks like!"
Finn stands and says,
"I'll teach you a lesson too!"
Fanny creates a huge fire explosion, covering half the ground.
Finn uses all his power to create a huge blast.
Both attacks meet — and a massive explosion happens!
Smoke covers everything.
Leon gets worried for Finn.
The teacher uses her water powers to remove the smoke.
When the scene clears — it's shocking.
Finn is lying on the ground, having used all his power.
Fanny is also injured but still standing.
Selene announces Fanny as the winner.
Leon runs to Finn and carries him to the nursing room.
There, Darius sir sees Finn's condition and immediately starts healing him.
Within minutes, Finn's injuries heal completely.
Leon is amazed by the healing powers.
The teacher tells him,
"All his injuries are cured, but he needs some rest."
Later, Selene ma'am brings Fanny for treatment.
Seeing her injuries, Darius sir shouts at Selene for making students fight so harshly.
Selene just smiles and says nothing.
After some time, Finn regains consciousness.
He sees Leon sitting beside him and hugs him tightly.
With teary eyes, Finn says,
"My buddy! My friend! You took care of me!"
Leon says,
"You're hugging me too tight. Stop overacting."
Finn says,
"Thank you!
That bloody bitch injured me too much!"
Leon looks a little scared, as if someone is standing behind Finn.
Finn turns around — and sees a very dangerous Fanny with red eyes, clenching her fists.
We hear Finn's shouting as Fanny beats him up — and the first day of school ends here.
