When Supernatural Powers Go Wrong [2014]

Yaaar~ Authornim had a flu and needed to rest for six days. Mianhae~
Happy Camp made me cry TT.TT

Here's another update :)

This will be a looong one. 
Not because of the scenarios okay? 
The dialogs are pretty much in dire need for this so please bear with me juseyo~

Note: I have told you guys before that this fic has a resemblance with Gakuen Alice right? :)
(Try watching that anime! It's a good one! The manga too!)

Enjoy!

I apologize for any typos or mistakes!


Author's POV

"I call dibs on the chicken!"

"But I want pasta!" 

"We had pasta last night!"

"And you enjoyed it!"

"Yeah I did, but I want chicken this time!"

"No! Pasta!"

"Chicken you long-chinned boy!"

"Pasta you dark skinned boy!" 

"They're at it again..." Suho exhaust himself on the usual everyday debate between their two maknaes. He and two other occupants entertain themselves on the couch while watching the two actors bicker on a simple dinner meal. Kris on his left is busy impressing his alpaca toy, Ace, and Chen on the his other side was laughing evilly at the whole ordeal. He first looked at the suspicious troll. "Why are you laughing, Chen?" 

" I think they've forgotten that the Room A16 occupants will bring us some food from their feast. " The latter amusely stated.

"Why don't you remind them then?" He suggested. 

" Nah... It's more fun to see their shocked and embarrassed faces than simply saving them from their humiliation. Besides, I need something fun to do once in a while. You're not going to take a bath yet, hyung?" 

" Uhhh I'll take the last shower. I'm still waiting for Lay to come."

"Riiiiggghhttt... I'll go first then!" The troll gave out a hearty laugh before whisking away.

After the troll's grand exit, Suho faced the remaining person beside him. "Kris. You escaped your duties again, didn't you?" he spoke sternly. 

Said man stiffed at his seat. " And that came from?"

" I know you know who. Of all people, you should know better by now on how keen Tao is on unfinished task and irresponsible person." 

Kris stood up, losing interest on the whole talk. " Yeah I know. I know. I'll finish those tomorrow. Those Blockers took my time more than I thought they would. Call me when dinner's ready. See ya." He drags his toy out.

And Suho was forced to go back at the only creators of the noise around their dorm. " Are you two done?" He pinched the bridge of his nose.

" Suho-hyung! Don't you think it's my time now to decide?! We already had Sehun's choice yesterday so I'm supposed to get the approval now, right?"

" What approval are you saying Kai?! They told me they want pasta as well!"

"Oh really Sehun? Kindly explain to me the bubble teas our hyungs treat to you just because they don't want to see you mad. They said that they might get by a sudden tornado."

" Not true!"

"OKAY! No more yellings in this house! If you don't stop, we'll eat vegetables for tonight!" The two youngsters zipped their lips immediately at their hyung's threat. " For the two of you's information, Lay and the other Room A16 are going to give-" He was cut by a vibration from his side pocket. " Speaking of the angel, Lay's calling. " He ignored the rolling eyes he saw. " You two. Go at the corner and apologize to each other peacefully. We're not getting neither of those if you just listened to me. Lay cooked for us. Hey Xing!"

"Bipolar hyung." the maknae line scowled at his back. 

"Hey Myeon! We're at the front of your door!"

"Okay! I'll be there! I'll hang up now!"  

"Mmm kay!"

He was there even before Lay told him. He opened the door and saw his fiance at the front, Xiumin beside him with a shy Kyung-mushroom sprouting at his back. "Hey Xiumin! Hey Kyungsoo-ssi!" he looked at the man holding a large container. " Hey Xing!" 

The said name emitted a charming dimpled smile as he placed the container on his fiance's arms carefully. "Hey, sorry we're late! This is kimchi spaghetti made by Kyungsoo here." 

Suho looked at the cook of tonight's meal, who was busy hiding himself behind the ice shifter. " Wow,so you're a food expert around here too. That's a good news for Xing here who's doing all the cooking before you came!" He cheekily exclaimed, earning a light smack from the bashful unicorn. Mushroom Kyung hid himself more after muffling " It's not really that much. "

They all laughed on how cute their little DO was, blushing all red over a compliment. "Okay. Okay. I apologize on behalf of all my roommates. They can be rude at times. Do you perhaps want to go inside?" Suho asked. 

The three guest waved their hands in mild gesture of disagreement. " No, it's okay! Luhan's probably looking for us now. We'll just see you guys at class tomorrow." 

Despite the refused offer, Suho courteously opened the door for them. "You sure?" 

He turned to regret his action when two whiny voices erupted from the living room. " Hyung! Stop chatting with Lay-hyung!  We're all hungry here!" He palmed his face, hiding the growing blush. 

"I think that's our cue to leave then." Xiumin finally spoke when the couple were too busy calming their nerves. The guy behind him peeked at the scene. "Was that Kai-ssi and Sehun-ssi?" he asked.

"Yup. The maknaes. " 

" Really now. Those two. I need to do something with their manners and behaviors." Suho declared after composing himself.

Xiumin started pulling his companions. " Is Chen there?" he quickly added. Suho casually turned for a look. " Uhmm.. I don't think so. He's in the showers a while ago. Want me to call him?"

He only gave a smile and continued dragging with the two. "Nope. Thanks anyway. See you tomorrow and good luck with the maknaes."

"Yeah, good luck to me. Oh! And Kyungsoo, have fun at your mini welcome party!" Little DO turned around to gave a small thanks and a bow.

Suho waited for the three to come inside before going in himself. 

" Good night Junmyeon! " He saw Lay's head popped out between the door and the gravate. He waved a little as a response and chuckle when a small stuffy hands of a toy distinguishly waved at him before disappearing inside the door.

 

( NOTE: The next part is extremely text heavy because I can't find alternative way to discuss it in an easy way so I let Baekhyun handle it for you guys. Mianhae! Please read every word as possible as you can! Thanks! Really appreciated! )

"Kyungsoo! Come here and sit with me!" Baekhyun called as he pat the space beside him on the long couch. Obedient Kyungsoo followed letting the magenta-haired guy rest his arm around his shoulders. 

"You're scaring him Baek. Look how stiff he is." Xiumin butted silently as he passed by the two on the couch being the last to come inside.

"Anyway, we have decided to answer all your questions, misunderstandings, and curiosities for tonight!" Baekhyun began.

Kyungsoo fidgeted at his seat. " I- I don't really have any right now..." He inwardly jumped in shock when one of the floating balls moved downwards with Luhan riding on it . 

" You don't have to be shy! I know you have a lot. When Xiumin first came here, he was just like you. Eventually he sprouted all his stress on me one day."

"That's because you were asking me endlessly everyday. " Xiumin interjected at his place near the TV. " You never stopped interrogating me even in my showers."

"That's called being hospitable." A floating pen poked Xiumin on his left cheek. " How about knowing each one's gifts for starters then?"

That peeked Kyungsoo's interest. " That will do!"

"Thank you for your participation Mr. Lu Han. " Baekhyun raised his hand. " I'll take it from here. Which one do you want to start with? Elemental or Special? Wait!" He looked at Lay sipping his orange juice. " Are we going to include those Room A17 pips as well?"

Lay nodded. " Sure, why not." 

" Okay then! So which one is it Kyungsoo? E or S type?"

"Uhm.. elemental? I mean since I belong to that type too?"

"Good choice." Baekhyun cleared his throat before starting. " You've known that the E-section should have a connection with the elements of nature and a lot of students have the same gift but different kind of handling and speciality. So as you've observed, the only elemental ones here are you and Xiumin. Umin is more on the water ability type although he can't completely manifest any water molecules and control them at his will. Instead, he lowers or freezes the temperature of anything that possesses or has water in it. Next door, Suho-hyung, Sehun, Chen, and Chanyeol. Suho-hyung is the legit water type who can create and define different forms using water, like a ball or something. With his high rank here, he can copy Lay-hyung's body figure. Kidding!"

He evaded a pillow targeted at him.  "Continuing for our elemental pips, Sehun can create strong whirlwinds with his wind ability. He hasn't quite grasp on how to minimize the wind's strength yet so be careful around him. Try befriending one of his fangirls then you would surely know the tricks on how to evade those."

" He's just joking Kyungsoo. Sehun's not really that inefficient on controlling his sharp winds. He's already practicing those on his trainings so rest assured." respond the guy sitting on his teli balls.

Baekhyun rolled his eyes and went on. " Moving on, Chen is a lightning shifter. Despite his young age, he actually inhabits a three star on this field since he's a descendant of his family which means he's skillful enough for his trainings. He may look like a normal dinosaur-looking troll, but you can say he's one of the nerd-but-not-really-nerd type around here cause he earns a position on the topnotches in academics. But that's only in academics. When it comes to sport, he big time. And be careful around him Kyungsoo. His title as the trollmaster is not a joke."

"He says playing pranks is his other hobby besides studying." Xiumin added.

"And lastly, Park Chanyeol, fire shifter. He's very skilled as well, similar with Chen. However, because of his clumsy and dumb personality, you might not notice the strong aura around him. For more info, creating large fireballs is a cheapstake for his inferno kind. "

"So if you happened to know someone talking about our little diva here behind his back, just tell Chanyeol and he'll do the rest." Tao crouched down to evade two pillows targeted at him. He missed the third. " Ow!"

"Why don't we start with Tao for our next topic then." Baekhyun snarled. " Tao belongs to the special-type along with Kai, and Lay-hyung. They are called special, cause their gifts are rare and don't fit on any category at all. Tao is the only shifter that can control time, Kai too, the only one who can teleport. Lay-hyung, on the other hand, has a few co-healers that you can count with your fingers, like him. Next! Luhan and Kris-hyung aka. the latent people. Let's skip Luhan since he's practically boasting his ability right infront of us."

"Hey! It's called practicing!" retorted Luhan who almost slipped out of his concentration due to his wrong footing.

"Alright! Alright! Geez if you're going to argue and scream, make sure to balance yourself first! You're in mid-air for goodness sake!"

"You started it!"

" Who told you to stand? Does that ball have a flat surface, idiot?!" Baekhyun rebutted. " Anyway, Luhan and Kris-hyung both use what we call ESP powers to enhance their mental abilities. Luhan can levitate everything except for himself, while Kris-hyung is the opposite. In other words, Luhan can make you float but he can't make himself float. Kris-hyung can't make you float but he can make himself float. Wow. That was hard."

Tao chuckled. " We already got the first idea Baek. No need to elaborate." 

"That's called being hospitable. " Baekhyun imitated with Luhan's squeaky voice." So Kyungsoo, if you ever wonder why there's a large bird suddenly blocking the sun, double-check first whether that's a cloud or simply Kris-hyung. "

" I think that should be simply a cloud or Kris-hyung." Tao butted in.

" How far can he fly?" Kyungsoo asked for the first time.

Tao scratched his head seemingly in deep thought. " Hmm.. I'm not sure. He's a good one so he can probably reach until the school's rooftop maybe?"

" EHEM! EHEM! Lastly, yours truly, Byun Baekhyun, the only somatic type in this room! Students that belong to our type, produce their abilities usually direct from the source, our bodies. As for me, I emit my light power using my hands.. like this."He raised his hand and a small burst of light splitted right from his palm. " I can diffuse the lightwave intensity into different extents. That's what I train."

"That's... That's so cool.." Kyungsoo muttered. " I wish I can see more of your abilities.." 

"Well.. you will." Lay answered. " But not this time. It's your turn Kyungsoo-ssi."

"M-my turn?"

" Your turn to impress yourself. Tell us about your ability yadda yadda. " Baekhyun said.

The earth shifter fixed his position on the couch. " It's not really impressive... I'm an earth shifter and my ability is connected more on the ground so when I touch it, I can infuse something. I'm sorry I can't show you right now."

They clapped their hands. "It's okay! We understand! We don't want to sleep in a crumbled room do we?" 

Kyungsoo blushed. " I can't really do that much to destroy a room.." He motioned for the glittering material at their collars. " What's a star rank?"

It was Lay who explained this time. "Oh this you mean?" He pointed at his own stars."They are somewhat your overall rank corresponding to your performances in different fields, academics, extracurriculars, and even from your trainings. You'll get a three-star for an excellent performance just like Suho, Kris, Tao, and Sehun. If you've managed to receive a special golden star, then you must be an exceptional genius of all seasons. You have no star for now since you haven't started yet. By the way,stars are earned based on your improvements so give it your best shot to impress your teachers."

"I-is that so.." Kyungsoo's face turned solemn, maybe even nervous. "Do some powers get out-of-control?"

"Uncontrollable? Hmmm.. yeah." Tao answered. "The academy requires special controllers for those students who possess a gift too powerful for them or they haven't completely grasped on handling them. It takes years for a shifter to tame their strong gifts, especially if they're born with the ability that's already too strong for them. The pink bands you saw at the game are temporarily used controllers."

" Baek told you how strong Chen and Chanyeol right? They use controllers as well. See those piercings at Tao's ear?" Luhan pointed at the time shifter's ear compiled of three piercings ranging from top to bottom. " Those are Tao's controllers he use for stopping his time swap."

"Chanyeol uses his glasses and a piercing, while Chen uses a piercing and a bracelet as controllers." Baekhyun added. " And Kai has a necklace."

"Does Sehun-ssi has one?" Kyungsoo asked. "He can't control his right?"

"Well it's not exactly like that Kyungsoo." Luhan spoke, twirling from his ball." Sehun can control when and where he would use his ability, he's just finding it hard to minimize the wind itself. However, Kai, for example, must use his controller in order to not cross other dimensions without his consent cause his teleportation is too powerful for his age. Do you get it?"

"Oh I see.."

Baekhyun stood up from his postion. " Same with Chanyeol and Chen, if they don't use any controller, then anyone who touches them will be electrocuted or burned. Anyway, I'm too full to explain anymore. Gonna hit the showers first!" He ran when Tao was about to intrigued on going on the shower first.

"Thanks for the kimchi-spaghetti Kyungsoo. " Xiumin interrupted the noisy bickering about showers at their back. " It was delicious." He went to the kitchen after leaving a small smile, bringing along his plate and Luhan's.

"Thanks!" Luhan cackled mid-air when he saw his plates missing and found it at Xiumin's hands.

"I'm your hyung dammit!"

"I agree with Xiumin-hyung. Teach me how to make that someday? " Lay asked the back-to-mushroom Kyungsoo, playfully squeezing his unicorn toy.

"Knock! Knock!"

 

Kyungsoo's POV

Before I can thank the praises I've been receiving, a knock distracted me and the others too. It was Chen-ssi looking at us, still knocking the door even when we have acknowledged his presence already. He's not called a troll for nothing, I see.

"Are you going to stop knocking or I'll forcefully stop you myself?" Tao-ssi half-asked monotonously at his position at the front of the bathroom door, towel hunged on his right shoulder.

"Where's Xiumin?" Chen-ssi asked directly, ignoring the threat, but he stopped knocking nonethelessly.

Luhan-ssi interrogated. "That's Xiumin-hyung for you, doofus." 

Chen groaned. "Fine. Where's Xiumin-hyung?

"Why do you need him for? He's in the kitchen." Lay-hyung spoke.

Chen began walking to the said place. "I need to borrow a book from him. " He answered. "Thanks Lay-hyung! No thanks Luhan!"

" Your welcome!" Luhan-ssi screamed back, and I giggled at their little antics. " Why did you say it, hyung!" Luhan-ssi referred to Lay-hyung who was about to sleep with his unicorn pillowed.

Lay-hyung blinked. " Oh.... I shouldn't?" He blinked twice... or was it thrice?

I heard Tao-ssi and Luhan-ssi defeatedly sighed. " Truly a match made in heaven literally with Suho-hyung..."

"Kyungsoo-ssi!" I looked at the caller of my name, Chen-ssi, who was now carrying a large Calculus book, skipping towards our seat. His controller bracelet was bouncing along with his action. I searched for his other, placed at his left ear was a blue piercing.

"Y-yes Chen-ssi?" I asked.

"Can you cook another plate of kimchi-spaghetti for me?" He half-asked, half-yelled at me. He's a hyper, this one.

"N-now?"

"Yup!"

"Be a little more polite for freaking sake! We already delivered your share right? Too hungry for more?" Xiumin-hyung pinched the ear of Chen-ssi. I cringed cause it looks really painful.

"But Kai ate all my share!" Chen-ssi whined, his whole facade turned pleading. "And why didn't you tell me you came by our dorm?" His face turned back a little serious. Strange. 

"Here we go again! Quarrel somewhere else will you!" Luhan-ssi interrupted, but the two seems to be lost in their own trance. 

Lay-hyung laughed. "They can't hear you Luhan."

Xiumin-hyung crossed his arms, grumbling at the troll Chen-ssi. "So now I should report to you everytime I pass by, huh?"

"Of course, babe! We must treasure everytime we have a chance to see each other!" Chen-ssi answered, sickeningly sweet. I trembled at that, but still confused throughout. Chen-ssi has been saying those 'babe's since the game.

"Okay stop you two. It's already late and you got what you want here, Chen. Go back now." Lay-hyung finally ordered. Even I would find the situation awkward. 

"But how about Kyungsoo-ssi's-"

"Not now. Try again tomorrow." That was Lay-hyung again using a different tone. Wow. I regretted being a little happy though when I saw Chen-ssi walking out with his shoulders slouched. " Awww fine! Tomorrow then. Good night guys!" He told us.

" I-I'll cook some for you tomorrow, Chen-ssi!" I said feeling a little guilty.

He cocked his head from the door, grinning widely. "Okay! You promise!" He replied before closing the door.

After that, and eery silence fell on the room. Xiumin-hyung went back to his room, Luhan-ssi was on his own world up there, Lay-hyung was suprisingly quiet and the other two were still on their bathroom sessions. So I took the chance to ask somthing that I need to confirm. Although I don't know why I should, really. Talk about minding other's business.

"A-are they...."

Luhan-hyung turned at my response, looking down at me. " Xiumin-hyung and Chen right? Don't be bothered by them They're always like that but there's really no heat on their words. "

"So it's not... real?"

"Well... from my perspective, I believe it's not. But you'll be a little curious if it's really all a joke when there's particularly no one between them hating their little acts." 

"I see.." I didn't respond anymore, finding my limit. Lay-hyung was exceptionally really quiet though. His face looked lost.

After a minute or so, quiet Lay-hyung finally spoke!" Was I being too harsh to Chen?" He asked us, eyebrows knoted together.

"I knew you would ask us that, hyung!" Luhan-ssi quirred at the side, looking a little tired. 

"I think I was too hard on him, Luhan!" Lay-hyung desperately coined. I never imagined for someone to be so guily this instant. " I should've sent him outside rather than letting him go by himself!"

"You weren't too rude on Chen, Lay!" Luhan-ssi answered, dropping the honorifics. " And that's Chen! The idiot would eventually forget about it once he sat on his "thinking" chair!" He mimicked the quotation marks at the end. 

"What's going on here? Why is Lay-hyung splat at the floor wailing like a seal?" Baekhyun emerged from the showers, rubbing a towel at his wet hair.

"Lay-hyung is being an angel too much, again." Luhan-ssi answered, hopping down from his ball. " He's being an angel on something he shouldn't be. Chen-de ville of all people! Ugh! I'm out of here!" He waved his hand in distress, sputtering incoherent words while towing away to his and Xiumin-hyung's room.

"Why am I not suprised..."
