brought his head up into her stomach. She staggered back from
the surprise and grabbed his head. She shoved him into the ground
face first, cracking his spine and killing him instantly.
Distantly she was aware of another part of her trying to
take control. Suddenly that part of her managed to break through. Max
ended up screaming in terror at the sight before her but before
anything else happened she reigned in that distant part of her retook
control of her body. After that, she looked down at the body in front
of her and smiled cruelly. She now understood why she had her super
powers, and she was going to fulfill that purpose.
Chapter 7:
Training
Max sat calmly in the chair at the police station. She was in the
interrogation room and the detectives were pestering her with
questions about the man she killed. Of course, they didn't know that
she had killed him. They thought she was just a person who had
stumbled upon his body.
And
she was playing the part perfectly. Tears were streaming down her
face to add to the performance and the officers were buying every bit
of it.
"Is
this your full statement?" The officer asked. Max nodded and let
a few more tears run from her eyes for dramatic effect.
"Very
well. We need you to sign this slip of paper confirming that the
recording we have here of this interview is your full statement. It's
just a bit of legal shit that we have to worry about. Sign right
here." The officer said, pointing to a line as she signed. Max
shakily signed the line, making her signature illegible.
Max
had claimed that she'd walked into the room to find the body on the
floor and the police had believed her. This interrogation was a
formality for them to have an official account of her version of the
story. Then she'd be able to leave and begin preparations for
training her newfound super powers.
It
only took a few more minutes and a very intense ride in a police car
back to the school for Max to finally be done with the police. They
dropped her off right out in front of the school where a security
guard was waiting. He escorted Max to her dorm room.
Since
the student governments president had been found dead the school
board had threatened to shut down the school again. They'd already
pulled a fourth of the funding for the school and pushed it into
security guards themselves via an old charter rule allowing the
school board to take over the schools funding in cases of emergency.
The guards were posted at every building as well as the school
parking lot and all students arriving after a day out on the town
were to be escorted by at least one security guard back to their dorm
rooms. They'd also made the curfew stricter and required that all
students be in the dorm hall before sunset. Additionally the guards
would patrol at random times and check to make sure no student was
trying to sneak out.
That
bothered Max slightly because she still had a job to take care of.
One that required her to be off campus until midnight. With her new
powers it was unlikely she'd be hindered in any way, but it was still
possible.
She
entered her dorm room and booted up her computer. She scowled through
the entire 5 minute bootup process and then logged in before going
about browsing the local sale ads. She would need some supplies to
help her out with her training for her powers. But she couldn't
afford to spend too much on the equipment she needed. So she was
buying all of it used, assuming everything she needed could be found
in the local or online sales ads.

Max smiled at the equipment before her. She'd found a good bit of
training equipment for really cheap on the local ads. The only
problem had been that she had to drag it all the way back to the
factory without any help, which had taken hours. It was now midnight
and she was just finishing setting it all up.
Max desperately wished she could start her training tonight but she
wanted to have a proper training plan, so she left after setting it
all up and
