Enforcers

Kitsune walked forward as Cloud followed after him.

"I still can"t believe you just let your friend walk-off by himself while he was going through an emotional moment..." The blind teen said shooting Kitsune a glare through his sungla.s.ses.

"Well! How was I supposed to know he would be affected so bad?" Kitsune questioned? "I mean... All of us were scared of Zero, and obviously, none of us want to fight him again, but Hero, seems to have really taken it bad."

"He"s a Seraphin..." Cloud said giving a small shrug. "North has been doing some research on them in his free time and told me a bit about them... Emotional damage is bound to be a given already, but to make matters worse they are highly susceptible to emotions so it"s easy for them to get angry, sad, depressed-"

"Hey speaking of North. What do you think of him?" Kitsune questioned casually?

Cloud stopped as he stared at the n.o.ble. "What..."

"What?"

"Did you just ask me what I think of North?"

"Yeah... Why?"

"Why? Why do you want to know about North?"

Kitsune gave an uncomfortable shrug. "I... I don"t know? I mean he has some cool powers, and a good personality... Let"s stop discussing this and get back to looking for Hero."

The two boys turned back to the job at hand as they continued searching the outside yard, looking for their lost friend.

"Mr. Gate keeper," Kitsune said giving a small wave when he saw the man. "We"re looking for Hero. Seen him."

"I mean... Yeah. I have. Why?"

"We"re looking for him," Cloud said giving a small shrug. "He ran off in a hurry and we need to find him."

"Afraid he"s gonna do something stupid."

"Yeah."

The GateKeeper gave a heavy sigh as he raised his arms up and pointed in a direction. "Last I saw of the crazy nut job, he ran off that way. He seemed to be deep in thought and was muttering to himself like crazy... He"s definitely one of the weirder recruits we got this Age..."

"Okay. Thanks for the help." Kitsune stated giving a small bow.

The two boys quickly turned away as they ran off once again. "Where do you think he is?" Cloud questioned.

"I"m seeing as much as- I mean. I don"t know?" Kitsune replied back as he gave a shrug.

"Hero. He really is something, isn"t he. He"s not the strongest member of our team, but he"s got raw endurance on his side. He just keeps coming taking more and more damage." Cloud said in a respectful tone.

Kitsune gave a small nod. "I"ll admit. I"m a bit jealous of Hero. I might be stronger, and more skilled, but him having three Attributes is a great advantage for him. He is capable of so much with those powers of his. And they all flow together in such a way... He really hit the motherload on Attribute cla.s.ses..."

"Attribute cla.s.ses?" Cloud said raising a small eyebrow. "I don"t think I"ve heard of those."

"Really?" Kitsune said in a bit of surprised tone. "Well, that makes some sense I suppose. They are mostly a... Well... Umm..."

"A what?"

"Well... You see there are several n.o.ble families. However, usually, n.o.bles do not like mixing blood with other n.o.bles, as when two Super-Attributes come together the child will have a fifty-fifty split between either having the mothers, or fathers, or on even rarer occasions having the two Super-Attributes fuse together into monstrous powerhouse of an ability. Normally that"s great but the downside is that it is often times too powerful for a body to handle and the baby will die before ever maturing."

"Okay? What does that have to do with anything?" Cloud questioned?

"Well. It means that n.o.bles will prefer to have children with commoners." Kitsune is in an awkward tone as he gave a light blush. "This is because the newborn child will almost always have the n.o.ble Attribute. Very rarely they will still have a mix between the parents, but since it is only one Super-Attribute being mixed with a normal commoner Attribute it is far easier for the body to handle. That"s why n.o.bles prefer to marry a commoner. If two n.o.bles will have a baby they risk killing the child. Of a n.o.ble and a Commoner have a child, there is a much smaller risk, and in fact, a chance that the child will be even stronger."

"So what do Attribute Cla.s.ses have to do with that?" Cloud questioned raising an eyebrow.

"I was getting to that..." Kitsune said giving the blind man a deadpan stare. "Stop interrupting me... So basically a chart was formed allowing Attributes to be better distinguished as what they are. These come in cla.s.ses, and types. There are two types of an Attribute. Active Types, meaning the user has to turn their ability on or off. My ability, your ability, Ken"s ability, and North"s ability are all Active types. One of Hero"s Attributes is also an Active type. The second type of Attribute is called an On type. An On type is an effect that is active at all times. It doesn"t require nearly as much energy as an Active type and will be turned on constantly with no way to turn it off. Mr. Blight is an example of an On type. His red tendrils are inside of his body at all times no matter what. Also, two of Hero"s Attributes are On type. Also, also, in some cases, an Attribute can be an On type, and an Active type at the sametime. That Maudite girl was an example of this. If your Attribute is an On type and an Active type that means it will have a constant effect, but it can still be turned on and activated as well giving you two effects. There are some cases when an Attribute will have a pa.s.sive effect when activated for example my Nine-Tailed Fox mode, makes me stronger, faster, and quicker, but it is not an On effect as while so things are pa.s.sive I don"t have them unless I turn my ability on... The next thing about Attributes are the Cla.s.ses."

"Finally..." Cloud muttered out rolling his eyes.

"Oh shut it..." Kitsune took a deep breath. "There are several different kinds of cla.s.ses all ranging from different effects. And this is where it gets kind of confusing."

"Wait it wasn"t confusing before?"

"So to start off with you have several different Cla.s.ses. Then there are some Subcla.s.ses... Some Attributes can seem like they fall into more than one category which is why we made some of them have subcla.s.ses. So, first of all, you have what is known as a Caster. This would be like Mr. Storm, or North, as well as you. Casters can generate something like an element or energy, that they can then shape with some difficulty and use it in battle. There also exists a rare subcla.s.s of a caster called Embodiment. An Embodiment Cla.s.s is a caster that can use their Attribute on their own body to enhance it. Mr. Storm, for example, is able to boost his speed and power with his own electricity. He would be an example of an Embodiment. Only n.o.bles can be Embodiment"s however."

"Whys that?"

"We don"t know? It just seems to be a form of the strand that exist in n.o.bles."

"What"s next?" Cloud asked with curiosity.

"Next is the Conjuror cla.s.s. They are like a caster in that they create things but a Conjuror as a lot more control over their objects, and can shape it to a better extent. North could technically be a Conjuror if he had better control over his Attribute. Conjurors are able to shape whatever it is they create into many things like weapons, people, or even beasts..."

"Interesting... I a.s.sume that isn"t all though?"

"You would be correct. Next is an Augmentation Cla.s.s. These are people who"s Attributes can enhance their body, or healing, or anything. They just enhance themselves, or even objects. Ken, for example, is an Augment. She"s someone who can increase her power, or increase the power of other things. When an Augment Cla.s.s foes affect their body or other objects, those being affected do not change in appearance. The next Cla.s.s is known as the Mutation Cla.s.s. Dawson Blight is a Mutation. Like an Augment the Mutation is able to affect their body, but when they do it their body will physically change. Almost all Mutation Cla.s.s Attributes, are On type. All of Hero"s Attributes are also a Mutation Cla.s.s."

"I see... But that still doesn"t explain your Attribute?" Cloud said raising an eyebrow.

"Well, that leads me to the two last categories. The rare Cla.s.s is known as Mystic. These are like Casters. They use their powers similar to them, and some Mystics can seem like an embodiment. What makes them different from a Caster is that they use straight-up magic. Whereas a Caster uses an element or an energy, a Mystic is capable of performing feats that seem downright magical..."

"So you"re a Mystic?"

"Nope. I an even rare type of cla.s.s. My Attribute cla.s.s is known as a Mythic. They are just like a Mystic, but Mythic"s have powers that seem to involve a more fantastical art. Mythic"s have Attributes that can work like any of the above categories, but with one thing different. A Mythic"s Attribute will be based off a story from the ancient days. An example... Way back there used to be the tale of Foxes with Nine Tails. They were considered tricksters. My ability allows me to take on that aspect. That"s how a Mythic works. We take on the powers of a fairy tale."

"And this is the rarest kind of Attribute?" Cloud questioned.

Kitsune gave a nod. "I believe only a total of five, have ever been seen. My family possesses one of them. There are four other n.o.ble families out there who will have the other ones."

"So what"s why everyone is so interested in you as well?" Cloud muttered out.

"Yep." Kitsune gave a cheeky grin. "In some terms. I could actually be considered even rarer then Hero... And I still have a long ways to go. My Attribute is still developing..."

"Well, how long do you think until it"ll finish?"

The two boys turned seeing Hero up ahead. He gave a small wave and a large smile.

"There you are!"

"Sorry for making you two come look for me!" Hero said in a sheepish tone.

Kitsune gave a smirk. "Your expression... It"s gone back to being an idiotic smile... You"re back to normal."

"Well. As normal as I can get." Hero said giving a shrug. "I was worried about fighting. Because I didn"t want to end up as a mindless warrior like that girl said... But... I won"t. I"ll fight. And I"ll have fun. Not because I"m a Seraphin. But because this is the kind of person I am."

"I see he"s back to being loud..." Cloud muttered out.

Kitsune gave a tiny smile of recognition to his friend. "Well then watch Hero. Watch me leave you in the dust! From this day on I"ll take that promise we made even more serious!"
