"What?" Stanley looked back up while breathing heavily at the same time. The terror he felt hadn't fully left him but the words he just heard were about to replace it entirely. Dulls were now to be sent to the farm directly, without a care for whether they were useful to the Defenders or not. That was what the Mayor said before he walked away from the stage. He was going to give more information to the Defenders directly and thus the trainees were no longer addressed in the assembly. Stanley stood…-

Kids were never considered Dull. After all, a person awakened their powers mostly in their teenage years, so you couldn't consider them Dull at all. However, the longer the years went, the more it was accepted that a person was Dull. It was usually only after one was no longer a teenager did a Dull truly see just how prejudiced the world was against them. However, to Stanley, he didn't have to grow to see it. He had been seeing it his whole life. His mother couldn't go to the town without being…

Superior Healing, Superior Strength, or whatever the hell those feelings were that Stanley got from time to time; those had to be his true powers. Stanley wondered if in fact his powers hadn't actually awakened, but were in the process of doing so, which was why he was showing signs of it without actually having it. That was perhaps the case for why there was no activation ritual either. But then, which of the three would end up being his true powers? If one of them did, then what about the other 2?…

Bradley got back up and looked at his brother with a doubtful look. "Are you really holding back?" he asked. "Of course," Stanley said. "Why are you doubting me?" "Because you're hitting so hard," Bradley said. "Can you hit me again? While holding back?" "Sure," Stanley said and swung his sword again. The force he put in was about 60% of what he could truly exert in a normal scenario. Bradley blocked the attack with his own sword and nearly cut himself with his own sword which fortunately…

Stanley woke up to a loud thud in his room. He quickly looked around with drowsy eyes, trying to find the source of the sound only to see his brother in the room. "Brother, what are you… did you use your powers to get in?" he asked. "How else would I have gotten in?" Bradley asked. "Why are you still asleep when you were the one that asked me to train you." "Uhh… can I sleep for 5 more minutes, please. Just 5 more… no," he quickly got back up and got out of bed. He jumped up a few times to…

The Defenders carried their dead and took them back to the town so that their families could hold a funeral. Stanley walked a little further behind with his brother and looked at him worriedly. "Are you alright? You didn't get hit right?" he asked. "No, I'm fine," Bradley said with a soft voice. He didn't even have the strength in him to put any emotion into his voice. Today had been very draining. "Are you tired? Do you need some help walking?" Stanley asked. "Don't worry about me. I'm your…

The crowd couldn't help but feel a little happy when they heard that the Mayor was going to revert his order and make it so that they didn't have to work on the farm anymore. "Well… if you're going to change it then… we don't really have any reason to be angry, I suppose," one of the people said. "Yes," another woman said. "So… can we go back?" The others looked at him curiously as well. The mayor shook his head. "I'm sorry, but not yet. While it is true that I will revert your situation,…

"Mayor? What are you doing here?" "Mayor, you shouldn't be here, it's dangerous." The Defenders spoke as such as they made their way to the mayor. Illan quickly moved in front of them all to block them as that was his job. "Illan, stop," the mayor said softly. "Let them get close." The giant man moved away and let the other Defenders gather close to the mayor. Bradley arrived as well and stood in the crowd. The mayor walked with his cane toward the crowd and was smaller than everyone around…

"Residual Healing…" the girl thought for a moment. "Not sure if healing powers work that way, but who knows? Maybe the Mayor's healing can have a residual effect." Stanley nodded. "That must be it," he said. "Still, there is a chance that it is your power. You need to check and see if that is the case," the girl said. "I would doubt that's my powers," Stanley said. "I wouldn't have to have been helped by the Mayor if that was the case. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm a Dull, just like my mother…

Damian Hazel was the 5th Mayor of the town of Last Hope. He had become a mayor at a very young age and had been one for nearly 40 years now. He had made decisions for the town for as long as he had been mayor, but he rarely left his mansion, so people rarely saw him. He was only over 60 years old now but was somehow very frail to move around. Many people believed he was aging very fast because of the very useful power that he had which had helped the people in the town of Last Hope for a long time.…
