<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/N4lStza.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Michael 'Mike' S. Astragalus<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 12 (02:00 PM)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Ethics Class<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Open<br/><hr/><br/>When it came to Sabrina's School, several of the classes were either extracurricular or optional participation, with mandatories focusing on subjects or areas you lacked. However, there were also classes that were required for you, whether you knew the ins and outs... This Ethics Class was one of them, not just because it was an extension of Power Control, not just because this gave you an idea of your place in the world and how to change it... But because of the teacher. The teacher happened to be none other than the very same figure the school was named for.<br/><br/>Headmaster Sabrina was someone very few people wanted to trifle with. Others could talk behind her back but some were fearful of doing this... After all, she was a powerful psychic and the limits of her powers were unknown. This was why she didn't need to say anything when students entered, they simply remained silent and focused. Michael was no different, knowing this was a class he could not afford to be caught messing around in. Especially after today.<br/><br/>He could see a few faces he knew, but for now he out each and every one of them out of his mind, keeping his srms folded as he pondered the Headmasters' first question... Why were they there? There were many ways to answer the question. They were oddities in the world, given power others could only dream of as the result of forbidden unions... It was very easy to misuse that power... After all, few wanted to take the time to control that which worked for them. If it wasn't hurting anyone, all the better... But morality played a part in this. One was never far from straying down a darker path if they freely misused their powers for their own benefits without consequence or repercussion.<br/><br/>Others like Selena and Masahiro made attempts to answer, but the answers seemed to be... As Sabrina claimed, 'Not entirely wrong but not entirely right either'. As cryptic as she always appeared to be, Michael could only sigh and try to consider what she was driving at. Nevertheless, she seemed to expand upon a short version of why they were there (part of it being fear from the general populace towards the oddities that were people who were, at one point, able to be counted on two hands. Now she was tasking everyone to think..  ThRee ways their powers could be misused, and three ways those without power could stop them. Such questions... They were easy for him to discern answers to in his mind, even if they were different from others.<br/><br/><em>'1) Breaking into highly sensitive areas, 2) Reckless use of powers resulting in fatalities, and 3) Blatant use of powers to establish dominance over ones' lessers... Only three of potentially hundreds of ways one could misuse powers... As for those without powers opposing us... 1) Harnessing human ingenuity to employ scientifically-proven hard counters against a given individual or individuals, 2) Appeal to the questionable morality of others without powers and hire them to fight for you akin to s mercenary, and 3) ... Murder the unaware by any means necessary, from firearms to poison, depending on individual. We're powerful, but not invincible.'</em>he thought inwardly, scribbling his notes down as his eyes focused on his book. He was always friendly even with normal humans but... What if it really did get to the point where they had no choice but to exterminate them? Could they really sway their opinion?<br/><br/>For the faintest of moments, he could feel a cold sensation like someone's eyes were upon him, and a quick glance up revealed Sabrina had seemed to look upon him for a moment before her gaze moved elsewhere... Maybe she was just looking at someone else and he was in the way... Either way, it was unnerving, sharing a room with perhaps one of the strongest Pokemon-Human hybrids in the world. Maybe she did look at him for knowing of the discord he'd caused earlier on... Oerhals even his trouble today. He almost shrank in his seat, wanting to return to focusing on his writing and note-taking.
