Uhh, Thank You?

“Name?” The usher in a fancy smancy green suit asked.

“Otto Ire”

“Age?”

“16”

“So what's your superpower? You are required to have one according to the rules, We don’t want to waste our time dealing with unnecessary death of those who had no chance.”

My name is Otto Ire. Today is the day I go to sign up for a once in a lifetime opportunity! The king of the country is old and dying and soon Princess Renner will become the ruling monarch of Elysis. I can finally live the easy life of fame and fortune I deserve! The only thing is though…

“I don't know what my power is, BUT i do know I have one. It says so right here on myName?” The usher in a fancy smancy green suit asked.

“Otto Ire”

“Age?”

“16”

“I don't know what my power is, BUT i do know I have one. It says so right here on my doctor’s note.” As I reach into my back pocket, the man puts his hand up to stop me.

“Sir, please don’t waste your or my time. If you haven't noticed the line behind you, there are actual contestants like The Mage Army General Brutus EarthWood.” The usher said in a condescending tone making sure I see his smug smile. He continued, “Now what was it? Otto. I can say with one hundred percent confidence that you don't even have a smidgen of chance. I mean, take a good look at yourself. You ain’t got what it takes like the people behind you.” He leans on the counter and points behind me. While most of the people looked normal, there were a few exceptions.

The lady behind me was wearing a silky, burning red kimono with foxes illustrated around it. She calmly smiled at me and waved at me. There was a man in a full knight costume accompanied with the sword and shield to match, another person looks like a full on kobold with scales and a dragon head. The last guy was several times larger than everyone else. He's basically what you would call a giant. It was truly bizarre seeing all these strange types calmly standing in line as if this was completely normal. That was until I realized they were all staring at me with disgust.

“That kid needs to hurry up and move.”

“Why is this redhead powerless wasting our time?”

The mumblings and whispers suddenly filled the room. As everyone in the room scowled at me, my face turned red and I could feel the pressure of the theater forcing me out. How the hell is my face even red? I'm black! And yet...

I'm just going to leave. There was no real chance of me winning anyway. I don't even know what my power is yet, nonetheless how to even use it. There are people in this with decades of experience. Compared to them, I'm nothing but a bug in their way home to their golden palace.

As I begin to turn away and walk towards the door someone grabs my arm. Why is the geisha lady stopping me? Does she want to laugh in my face or give a snarky comment before I go? My face is completely hot and sweating gives her a concerned look. The geisha lady does nothing but smile at me again. Her powdered face and red lips make it more pronounced than before.

“Sorry ma'am about the INTRUSION, now can you give me your name?” The now supremely polite usher says.

“Mr. Drewfair?” Geisha lady says in a calm yet menacing tone. Her voice immediately makes the usher’s smile drop and becomes immediately terrified.

“You're well aware that you just rejected a perfectly potential candidate for the competition, right?” She finished.

Once the usher regains his composure, puts his hand on the back of his head, scratches it and says “Ma-mama I mean ma’am, I think that you s-should consider that he doesn't even have any abilities. He doesn't even look all that strong!”

All while this was happening I got a better look at her. She looked young, probably even around my age. Her bright scarlet hair was carefully put together into a bun with some stick like things sticking out of it. They looked alot like drumsticks.

“My, my. What will we do about that?” She puts up her heart to her chest while making a pouting face. “It's quite sad isn't it? Wasting all of Mr. MusicHouse’s time dealing with the loss of his poor usher over something so small as a single boy who's already an exception. Quite pitiful if you ask me. Just because one may not look the part, does not mean you should underestimate the power they have within. You should know that from experience, right Mr. Drewfair?” She then delivers such a sharp, menacing glare to the usher that he falls to the ground and starts to sweat. She at first had a dramatic tone but now… it seems as if it’s diabolical, manipulative even.

“I-i can't do that to Mr. MusicHouse. M-my life would be over before I know it.” “Well then, I’m glad we’ve finally reached to an agreement. Now could you please hand over the ticket to the young man? I believe you’ve wasted enough time here.” She's so terrifying that I almost pissed myself when she turned to me and smiled again. I don't know why she decided to emphasize the words young man or why she was even helping me in the first place, but I was just happy that I got in while getting to wipe off that shit eating grin from that usher. Does she like me? Does she think i'm cute or something?
