I sound like a broken record, but only 2 months left till I'm done teaching. Not sure what's next, but it feels like anything would pay more and be less stressful lol

Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

First day as a Biology Teacher tomorrow - hopefully the kids will be able to read my handwriting.
Name: Derrick Phillips, but only the staff know this. Everyone calls calls him D.
Age: 12.
Appearance: Derrick has dark brown hair and grey eyes. He stands at 4' 8" and has a muscular build. Countless scars cover his body and he has has a very sharp face. Derrick occasionally wears a grey prisoner jumpsuit, but usually wears a miniature guard uniform. He wears a bright red armband to differentiate himself from other corrupted. He wears a set of prescription sunglasses at all times.
Powers/weapons:
Entropic Touch: With a touch, Derrick can accelerate an object's entropy. Currently, it takes 30 minutes to disintegrate a human-sized object, but something like a gun would only need 1 minute of uninterrupted contact. If a portion of an object is destroyed, it's as if it never existed. This means wounds on a person would be completely closed and scar-free, but would never regrow back to their original form.
Tentacles: Derrick can summon up to six tentacles on his back, each with a reach of 5 feet. The tentacles are twice his own strength. Can be used as an extra set of limbs and can stick to other surfaces. They have enhanced healing, regenerating completely within an hour. They are dark purple and are featureless. It hurts to create them, but can be kept out indefinitely.
Attitude: Derrick cares about one thing: The rules. He follows orders to the letter and shows no mercy when it comes to punishment. Derrick has actually been like this his entire life and he voluntarily joined as a part of the guards. He holds no respect for those who disobey the rules. Derrick is always itching to deal out punishment, and he desires the praise of the other guards. He does not discriminate when it comes to punishment. His goal is to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
Class: Corrupted.
If the powers are too OP, please tell me what to change.
Samuel was nervous. Here he was, standing on a podium in front of dozens of people, several of which could kill him extremely easily, and both sides were awaiting his response. Obviously, Samuel did not approve of this harsh treatment of the spirits. They are god's creations, and they inhabited one of the locations where god's presence can be felt the most! But... this boy... he was dangerous. Samuel could tell that with a passing glance. No matter what he said, Samuel would never step on Gabriel; Gabriel is the last friend Samuel had left.
"Listen, we should all just calm down and talk about this-"
"Scum...you're flat out scum! Even worse than the bugs at Ad Vitam, and I clean that place every day. Spirits are our partners, our family, and you lot just step on them! As if, step on me too then why don't you try?! And Samuel, why are you up there? You actually want to support this guy!? Thought you were a part of our group...if you really do support him Samuel, I'm sorry but that's a jerk move, and I hate...absolutely hate people that just go against us for a bad cause."
Okami! Lord, how am I going to explain this!? Samuel began to listen to the blond boy as soon as he heard his name.
"...And you, the one that boy calls Samuel...are you really a part of his group? Tell me how pathetic that kid is, I really wish to know. All I see is someone who can kick and run like the dog he has under his command."
Samuel turned to his friend and the blond boy, and gave his response.
"I do not share his beliefs, however, I do not wish for us all to fight. We can solve this peacefully. Their is no need for useless bloodshed, even with healers on standby!"
"And no, 'that boy' is far less pathetic than I was at his age."
Samuel looked behind Okami and, thankfully, Lena was coming to help. Thank goodness. She is usually the one who is calm and collected... She'll help me sort all this out. A smile that was flashed his way and kind words nearly assured this thought in Samuel's mind, but a drawn blade quickly corrected this.
"I-I am unaware of of you or your house, However...I do know that this is not right nor good behavior. You will cease this abuse, or I will be forced to act."
Samuel was in shock. Of course he couldn't accept or relate to the blond boy's beliefs, but the way his allies turned so quickly to violence... It scared him. Is that all it took? A single insult and we become... like this? Samuel worried that this would get out of hand very soon. The young man next to him, Alex, also decided to comment.
“You’re asking me… to see the one creature that helped me the most in my life… as a tool?”
Alex quickly leaned close to him and whispered.
“There are two kinds of evil. Those who act evil and those who close their eyes to it.”
... This... Hurt. This hurt Samuel. He always thought that he was a mediator, a person who settled things civilly... Was this how people thought about him? A sharp pain rings throughout his head, and by the time he gathered his bearings, Alex had whispered something else in his ear.
Samuel sighed and looked towards the blond boy.
"As you can probably tell, I do not share your beliefs. I believe that all beings are different... but, in their own ways, equal. You will likely disagree with this view, but that is what I believe. If you would like, I am more than willing to discuss these ethical and philosophical issues over a nice cup of tea!"
"However, I must give you some advice; not as a competitor, not as a holy man, and not as an enemy. I tell you this as a man who has seen and done many things in life, not all of which were... commendable. Humility, diligence, and friendship are the keys to success."
"From what I have seen, you lack two of these things. I apologize, but these people are my allies. I pray that you find others who choose to join you."
Samuel moves to stand in front of his friends. If this kid throws a tantrum, I'll take it... Besides, I said I was the meat shield.
I am angry.
I am angry.
I am... very tired...
I knew I shouldn't... have kept guard watch over the camp.... last night....
