Made some edits in the front page. Here's the symbol for the school, the Wind Rose.
And I changed the description of the school's location:
An institution made for catering to those with extraordinary capabilities that are dubbed strange by society. Settled on the top of Mt. Fuji, the highest peak of the Japanese Alps, Four Winds' castle-like structure is encased by a massive tree and shrouded in mist, giving it the appearance of floating in midair.
Personality:Mikhail Suburov wants a lot of things, both unselfish and selfish. One is for Magical Beings and Humans to live in harmony, nay, symbiosis, and the other is for a girlfriend or boyfriend; he's not picky. He is aware that for those to happen, he has to have power, and is frustrated at his lack of it, including magically. Then again, he's also the type that tends to rush first without thinking, while believing he's up to whatever the world can throw at him, so it's best that he has no power at first.
He also tends to act as though his life is that of an Anime, taking most of his social cues from things he watches or reads, as well as hides deep insecurities inside, due to his past.
History: Born to a relatively rich Japanese-Russian Couple with magical powers, Mikhail was nevertheless subjected to prejudice because of his ancestry and his parents' abilities, with only his family's wealth saving him from the worst of bullying. It was something he didn't want to remember, and something that left him friendless, dependent only on Anime, Manga, Light Novels, and Videogames for a reason to live. Then, one day, his mother suggested:
"Why don't we just not send you to school? I mean, your father might not like it, but I'm sure that if we confront him with the staggering suicide statistics among schoolchildren, we can convince him to just let you be homeschooled, or allow you to spend your days in the library?"
Mikhail accepted the suggestions gratefully, with open arms, and discovered a subculture of people who avoided school by staying at the public library, unwilling to choose between school or death. There, he found friends among nerdy people like him, people who learned at their own pace, who were more open-minded than the normal student, and had also found a safety valve from the stifling conformity of Japanese society. And in his happiness, he manifested his magical power at dinner with his parents as he was gushing about his friends. And with a smile, they went over and embraced him.
The letter from Four Winds came thereafter, and while Mikhail was hesitant, nay, resistant to going to school again, his parents reassured him that this time, he would be able to defend himself, and that the teachers there won't bully him. And all Mikhail can say was:
"All right, I'll give it a chance, but I'm running away if something bad happens, okay?"
And with that, he went off, to what he hoped was an environment where he can actually learn.
Skills: History, Literature, Kendo, Sabers, and Wrestling/Grappling.
Abilities:
Name: High Judgement Type: Enhancement.
Description: The High Judgement Magic is the 'Magic of Justice', which sounds fancy, except that it's merely a term for Magic that protects people from other Magic (and to a lesser extent, Nonmagical stuff), and grants minor investigative abilities that allow you to know what to protect.
Edit: As of late, Mikhail has only two abilities:
Aura of the Cornerstone - Mikhail gives himself or someone else a silvery-white nimbus/aura that grants mild resistance to Magic. However, the longer it's applied, the more it taxes Mikhail.
This can change as Mikhail grows in power and advances through schooling, but right now, the protection it grants is basically limited. Further weaknesses are that Mikhail's aura also resists healing Magic, and that forcing him to breathe in or ingest something magical, like, say, magic poison, would get past his resistance.
Presumption of Innocence - Mikhail can 'smell' the crimes of people as a sulfuric stink (rotten eggs and such); the more crimes unatoned for, the stronger the sulfuric stink is.
Inventory: Clothes, books, school supplies, a bento box, smartphone and laptop.
No problem. Fixing it immediately. If you were curious where my reading comprehension just tanked, it was "Something strange happened though; he just passed by each one of them."
I thought that meant he literally just snap-quick multiplied and passed by each person, haha.
@Nanashi Ninanai@Letter Bee I believe Mikhail's Presumption of Innocence is relatively subjective and would be based off his own morals. I mean, Alice couldn't be that bad, right?
@January I too get the occasional brain farts from time to time.

@Letter Bee@Scio Ah, alright, thanks for the confirmation. I almost thought that he's talking about someone else at first, but after rereading, I decided to confirm it first.
Would there be any difference in how Mikhail looked at her now (like, looking judgmental or something similar) or would there be nothing of sort?

Nothing of the sort, just an aside glance.
Warning, though, the stink would intensify should she think Mikhail was looking at her in awe or something.

@Nanashi Ninanai@Letter Bee Nanashi has a point; just create some sort of visual indicator or medium when he uses his abilities. Everyone has one.
Nanashi didn't ask for that, she asked if Mikhail looked judgemental or not.
And, Mikhail's visual indicator is that he tends to glow silvery-white whenever he uses his abilities. In this case, though, he would be perpetually (faintly) glowing...
