"That is an adjective, you really are crazy!" Maya shouted, her voice cracking the eardrums of all her classmates.
"You are crazy and wrong, it is not an adjective, stupid!" Michael interrupted. His throat seemed to hold a poison that was destroying the particles of its inner walls.
I stepped inside. My feet were perfectly balanced and intact. They moved with precision, acting like a hard fabric that shielded the layers of my skin.
As I entered, the grip on my heavy bag tightened. It felt as though it held skulls I had dug up from the cemetery with my bare hands. They carried a rotting stench strong enough to kill the senses and make anyone tremble once it spread through their body.
"Oh shit, who is he?" someone whispered, the sound brushing right against the skin deep inside my ear.
A fake yet realistic smile formed in my mind and reflected in their eyes. It swelled like seawater crashing against my nose and lips to force a sudden smirk.
"Sheesh, his physique is so cool, and he is really sexy too!" a guy with a cold baritone voice remarked.
His smile barked even more fiercely.
"It seems like we have another soul to be welcomed here today!" Teacher Spert recoiled, his eyes splattered wildly across his forehead. His expression was completely vivid to me, looking as if cockroaches would crawl right out of the mirror the moment he turned around.
"Please introduce yourself." Teacher Splurt tapped the ruler right on his desk and sent everyone's body into an electric shock.
But my body did not react to something so insignificant. He should have been the one jumping with his legs that only held the strength of a baby's bones.
"Hello everyone. I am Vesper Xacas, but you can call me Poy. Do not worry, for I will be the one to make your eyes dance." And with that, I opened my mouth and let out a loud, high-pitched laugh that filled the gaps in their eardrums.
"Damn, this guy is seriously cool," remarked a student with a bent back. His spine looked like it was about to snap to reveal sharp nails and black hands. It felt as though his eyes would be sucked into the wind in sheer terror, bursting with boiling blood from the pressure he was putting on my foot, which was forming an incredibly soft cloud.
Of course, that was not real. My imagination was just my imagination, but I could still easily make it happen if I wanted to.
"Alright, stop laughing so easily. What is this, a brothel where you just keep laughing until an orgasm comes out? Hey, you might be handsome and have a great physique, but act mature! Go back to your seat!"
"What a buzzkill." Someone whispered around the corners of their seat and to me they sounded off as a lad of bird who showed boredness in there chin who slumped.
"He is really a buzzkill isn't it?" I spoke and tried to get into his system.
Maybe I could lingered for a bit to him and discover the mask to drop onto floor so I can interact with my lips open with this person.
"Yeah he's also like that all the time, his brow would go on fire and—"
"Okay! Okay! Let's resume the lesson!" Teacher Splurt screamed. His voice severed the excitement of the students. The air here felt completely off, bouncing back every time something came out of his mouth.
"Psst." I hissed.
———-
"Fuck, I know! You do not have to remind me constantly because I am not a child!" I snapped. Fortunately, I was just in the bathroom where my voice only echoed before being instantly sucked away by an invisible vacuum.
"Calm down, practice your smile and movements," I reminded myself.
I turned toward the mirror. It was a tall, square shape that took up the entire wall above the sink. The metal tube of the faucet was not running, but it let out a slow, steady drip of water.
The system opened above my head. I looked up while my hands gripped the cold concrete of the sink. The sensation against my skin was sharp and unexpected.

"Okay, easy, time to rock." I whispered right onto the room and stepped outside carrying out the system back onto my head.

[ Two Hours Later ]
"Didn't I tell you to shut the fuck up, Liam!" A guy's voice exploded. It sounded like a dog that had been run over, blood spraying from its head.
I was leaning against a locker. My skin felt stabbed into and connected with the metal until I was a locker myself. My arms were crossed over my chest and my lips were molded into a grin.
"Look, Josh is picking a fight with Liam again!" a student shouted while running. Their phone was already locked onto the scene with the camera open to record. The red button was clear to my eyes.
Okay, so the bully's name was Josh and the victim was Liam. Great. I wondered which of them would become my best friend. I decided to wait and see.
The crowd gathered closer while Josh's hand connected with Liam's jaw. Liam's face lost all control. His mouth hung open. My stomach churned with a desire to laugh because the red liquid was moving inside Liam's teeth and infecting every single tooth.
"Move aside, you idiots," I said. My voice was loud and held power. It was unlike Josh, who acted like his big body and hands were enough to crush Liam into the ground. Liam's eyes were already wide with terror.
"Who are you? Do you want a beating too? Maybe you want a black eye under those lids? Ha!" He pointed his finger at my lips. I blinked my eyes like a machine in the dark.
"What if I do? Or maybe I don't... just kidding. You can't take a joke. Please, continue beating Liam." I said it because I really wanted to see if Liam could control his body before his soul escaped.
Then the bell suddenly rang. Everyone started to leave and Liam ran away.
"Poor kid, you've got a great victim there," I remarked. I stood right in front of him. His two minions, Rhene and Pam, stood by his side. Losers.
"Do you want to be next?"
"Of course not. I am Vesper Xacas, but you can call me Poy. It sounds beautiful in my ears and makes a warmth calm my head," I explained. "Aren't you going to be friends with me?"
"Whatever. I'm Josh and that's the end of the discussion. Move it, you two, or I'll punch you right here."
The three of them walked away. They were murmuring, but I could still hear them.
"That guy is terrifying."
"I heard you!" I shouted.
