With Great Responsibility: A Short, Non-Canon, Not-at-All-In-Character Omake
"You're all dismissed."

With the end of the hour came the end of Kotori's masterclass on responsible ability use. One by one the students filed out of the room, looking more shell-shocked than a stereotypical Vietnam veteran (save for Mika, who instead bore an expression of uncomfortable familiarity). She nodded to herself, knowing that that was the kind of reaction she was aiming for. Ability abuse was a dangerous thing, after all.

Once they had all left, Kotori puffed her chest out proudly and reclined at her desk, knowing that she had done good today by teaching these unruly university students some civility. It was actually almost nostalgic, talking about all the dangers that irresponsible espers and mages posed to the world. It reminded her of a fond memory. Of a friend who cared enough to ensure she did not walk down a dark path

And with his 67th and final apocalyptic scenario concluded, Sasaki Kirima slammed his hands down on the desk in front of him, blue eyes staring holes into the timid, newly-christened Level 10 telekinetic. "That's right Namashiya Kotori," he stated firmly and with zero relent, leaning uncomfortably close to the young lady, "Everyone dead. And it's all your fault."

The Songbird was seeing songbirds. All these nightmarish scenarios were making her head spin, and not in the sexy, kiss-me-now-senpai kind of way. "B-But all I said was- What abou-"

"Everyone."

She sighed fondly. Good times.

@Grey

I'm tempted to add on to this. XD

[Grey]

Do what you will. I'll try to get a Mika thing out tonight

She shrunk back then, having never even once seen how intimidating that Sasaki could be when the fire of his temper had been stoked. He didn't understand! Even she was having difficulty grasping just truly what kind of being she had become.

It was truly, utterly terrifying.

Dejectedly, her head hung low, and she barely mustered the strength to quietly mutter a single utterance from her lips. "I-I'm sorry, Kirima-San. I'm doing the best I can."

Biting her lip to choke back the tears that welled up in the corners of her eyes, Kotori's gaze stared up at him. "I just don't understand the extent of what I can do now, Kirima-San. I really don't!" She stood suddenly then, as if she were trying to stand eye to eye with the Iron Giant, albeit vainly of course.

Didn't he understand? She might be level ten, but she was still a mere human being! She wasn't omnipotent.

A long silence followed then, until a chime of a ringtone diverted her attention. Plucking up her phone, and answering it, the voice on the other side was none other than Adam Pride.

Outside the phone was nothing more than a garble, but what could be heard was Kotori's responses; accompanied by a bitter tone in her voice.

With a final "Yes sir," the little Songbird hung up the phone, and looked miserably to Sasaki.

"I...I've been dispatched to Syria, alone. To break up the opposing factions in their bloody Civil War. Wh-What am I going to do?"

@Feisty-PantsA thought just came to my head. . . does Koto do that whole anti-matter explosion every time she demonstrates her abilities, because if so, I wouldn't be surprised if the City council or whatever governing body received a bunch of complaints from the citizens who got scared shitless as something with the force of, like, a nuke exploded overhead keeps exploding every year she gets new students. Hell, I think she might get some anyway even if this is the first time, because that is the kind of stuff that people would want an explanation for.

@Raijinslayer

She distances it enough so there is no signifucant damage. Maybe a few broken windows and a couple car alarms.

So there is literally almost zero damage, some pretty fireworks, and a level 10 actively protects their city. Not only that but the same level 10 teaches future generations of children to prevent blasts like that from actually hitting the city itself.

Also consider she has been teaching for three years, she probably does it as a demonstration yearly upon meeting new students. It is critical after all, to show them why they remain in control is so important.

Similarly, for those that want to start trouble, it's also to stress that she can put them in the bloody ground, if need be. Protecting herself, her students, and the city as a whole.

Small price to pay for that, no?

[Raijinslayer]

That's one way to look at, and most people probably would see that reasoning . . . but you'll be damn sure that they'll be a bunch of people who probably get tired of being reminded that there is a person in the city who can wipe them out in an instant. I mean, Kotori is basically going to be comparable to the current iteration of Superman in terms of how people respond to her. Some will be grateful, others skeptical, and still more wanting her dead simply because of the danger she could cause, along with allof the other Espers, Mages, and what have you.

Like I said, it's like having a nuke being blasted overhead every year, and even if that Nuke is protecting you, it's going to make a good number people nervous as all hell.

Edit: On another note, Aiden probably has to restrain every impulse in his body not to do something equally as terrifying, if not more so(in order to show off his superiority), because he doesn't want to give away how powerful he really is. . . yet, anyway.

@Raijinslayer

I figured the general response would be just like that. You read my mind, Rai. ^_^

It is impossible to make everyone happy.

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsHurrah and what have you. Now, if you need me, I have to go write my CS's for my Villains while jamming out to German rock.

@Raijinslayer

That's an interesting idea. There could be protests outside the entrance to the ENMA campus, in disagreement with Koto's presence in the city.

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsAs I'm writing out Aiden's sheet, I'm realizing how much an Opposite he is to Kotori. Where Kotori doesn't kill out of her own kindness and humanity, the only reason he won't kill someone is so that they can live with the knowledge of how totally he crushed them. As two of the level 10's in Japan, there could be an interesting Yin-Yang dynamic between them.

@Raijinslayer

XD

Especially since he is a villain, no?

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsHe can be and, in all likeliness, will be. He doesn't have anything against anyone at the moment, but he can end up in their way if they get in his way during a job or attack/defeat his men.

@Raijinslayer

And they're old acquaintances, he and Koto, no?

How do they know one another?

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsI wasn't planning on them knowing each other personally, more like they know about each other. Kotori's level is enough to get tons of attention, while Aiden is a famous Actor in public and the head of a PMC known as 'The Hand of God', which is also the moniker this alternate persona is known by. The Hand and his men are well known for doing nearly any kind of job, no questions asked, with the utmost efficacy. Their record is damn near spotless.

@Raijinslayer

Then their inevitable meeting will be....interesting?

What is one level 10 meeting another like? Hmmm.

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsWhen one of them doesn't even like having people seem like they're in even ground with him, probably not well. He doesn't take kindly to actual competition.

@Raijinslayer

Oh dear.

So it'd be like:

Koto: "Er, hello! My name is Professor Namashiya Kotori, it's a pleasure meeting a fellow level 10!"

Aiden: "GET ON YOUR KNEES AND BOW BEFORE THE HAND OF GOD!"

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsBasically, though he'd be a bit more subtle then that. . . Or he could try and blast lightning in her face midway while she's talking. It drpends.

@Raijinslayer

Well, that's just rude. XD

I can only imagine Koto's reaction to that. XD

[Raijinslayer]

@Feisty-PantsHopefully, before anything else, she'd keep her face from getting fried.

But in all seriousness, at Aiden's level, I don't think it be hard for him to kill anyone in this RP, especially if he catches them off guard. Electrokinesis is an ability that makes killing people ridiculously easy with very little effort. Just apply the right amount of energy to someone in just the right spot and you can stop their heart. Not to mention that his attacks would be difficult to dodge because of how fast they can be, especially when he's calling True Lightning from the sky.
