Within the four groups of abilities, there exist subgroups called classes.
Classes are defined by the specific capabilities that the individual has; for example,
Elemental: Possesses powers and abilities related to the elements: earth, fire, wind, water, light, and darkness are the 6 primary elements, and there also exist secondary elements within them. One can possess more than one element. Aurora is a water and light elemental who uses the sub-element of ice for water.
Craft-Masters: Create weapons and tools (such as swords, magic items, and potions) that can possess different abilities based on the group the creator belongs to. Aegis weapons have defensive effects, catalyst weapons are offensive, prism weapons are supportive, and zeniths can create any weapon and give it any ability from the three. Titanium is a craft-master who creates rather large weapons such as greatswords, battle axes, war hammers, and so on. They have a lot of destructive power.
Summoner: Can summon monsters that assist the user. The monster's capabilities are determined by which group the summoner falls under. Catalysts get offensive monsters, Aegises get defensive, prisms get supportive, and zenith summons are capable of any of this. Beastial is a summoner that summons large monsters that can both defend and attack enemies.
Aura-Sage: Can manipulate energy called Aura and use it for a multitude of things. Some can use it to boost their physical capabilities, some use it to form energy constructs, and some can turn the energy into different things. Myst is a sage who uses their energy as a veil of mist that hides the presence of those within it. The mist can also be given special effects like poison.
There are hundreds of classes, and you can possess more than one class at a time. Although this is a rare occurrence.
As the last presentation was played, In the Hall of Stars
Aurora was walking down a passageway the walls were metallic, it was completely different from stone walls of the upper floors of the Hall of Stars.
She arrived at a large metal door. There was a sign on it that read, "Authorised Personnel Only."
She placed a name tag, that hung around her neck, into a scanner on the side and the door slid open.
Inside there were a team of people monitoring multiple screens. The other top heroes were also there.
Titanium was going around the room giving coffee and snacks to the staff who were working on various computers.
Beastial was leaning on the wall in the corner brooding as he often does, ignoring everyone around him. He had an expression on his face that said, "Don't talk to me!"
Myst was nowhere to be seen, however at the base of the floor if anyone looked hard enough they would see mist gathering in small clouds.
As soon as Aurora stepped in one of the people who was scrolling on a holographic interface noticed her and walked to her direction.
She was a woman of average height, she had short white curly hair, and wore a skirt, along with a button up T-shirt, and a lab coat was draped over. There were multiple pens in the pockets of the coat and a name tag hung around her neck.
The words written on the name tag were, Strategic Overlord: Blanche. "Aurora! It's been a while hasn't it?" She greeted Aurora with a cheerful smile, holding out her hand.
Aurora took Blanche's hand shook it, her grip firm, "Indeed it has Blanche, I see you and your guild are hard at work." Her facial expression didn't change at all.
"Naturally! We strive to achieve great results at all costs," Blanche huffed with pride, she struck a cute pose winking and sticking her younger out, "Trust the Curiosity's Inquisitors Guild to handle all your technical, analytical, and intellectual problems."
Her subordinates all raised their fists in the air, "We the Inquisition of Curiosity, live for efficiency and optimisation!" They chanted along with their Guild Master.
Titanium laughed and clapped for them, like a proud father, Beastial on the other hand rolled his eyes, "Do you seriously have to do that everytime?! It gets on my nerves"
"Now, now Beastial. Let others express themselves the way they so wish," Titanium scolded waving his finger at Beastial as if he was a child who had been naughty.
"Piss off, old man!" Beastial turn his head away gritting his teeth, "No one asked for your opinion!"
Titanium folded his arms, "The same could be said to you, dear Beastial." Beastial glared daggers at him, if looks could kill Titanium would have long left this world the moment Beastial turn his head.
Before their bickering could continue mist rose from the floor enveloping everyone in the room. It stopped before it reach Blanche and Aurora. Everyone in it was in a dazed state, their eyes cloudy and unfocused.
Myst who was hidden in a secluded part of the room revealed themselves.
Though their suit covered their entire body along with the gas mask on their face, anyone could feel the glare they directed towards everyone in the room.
"Quiet! Savages!" Their muffled voice rang through the glass mask. A thick tension accumulated in the air as mist continued to rise.
"Enough." Aurora clapped her hands and a cold breeze blew in the room, removing the mist and returning everyone to their previous state.
They all clutched their heads in pain, Beastial who looked the most effected looked around confused, "The hell! What happened?" He looked towards the direction of Myst. "You little-"
"Stop, Beastial." Aurora commanded him in a clam voice, "I will not tolerate such behaviour in my presence," She looked at him with the same emotionless expression she always had then turned to both Myst and Titanium, "That goes for the rest of you."
Beastial backed down, returning to his earlier endeavour of brooding silently though with a much fouler mood then before. Myst returned to his self imposed isolation and disappeared into the shadows.
Titanium laughed nervously while scratching the back of his neck. He looked around and resolved to sit quietly on an empty seat.
Blanche cleared her throat intending to clear the tension the altercation created, "Now let's get down to business shall we?"
She pressed something on her interface activating the screens, "These here are the screens used to view the candidates' simulations, upgraded and modified with the help of the Revolutionary Paradise Guild."
The screens all showed static, "Right now there aren't any candidates using the simulation so we just have to start the testing to begin." Blanche turned to Aurora for her approval.
"You may begin."
Blanche gave a cheerful grin, one that a child would give when told they could eat candy and did a spin until she reach the front where she pressed one of the many buttons on her holographic interface.
In the auditorium the students were in a buzz the presentations had ended and they were now awaiting further instructions on what to do.
There was a loud ring coming from the speakers before a voice could be heard from it. "Hello, candidates and welcome to the most important moment of your lives!"
The students all cheered filling the auditorium with excitement.
"I'm the one and only Blanche the Overlord of all things Strategy! Me and guild will be the ones orchestrating this year's event so I hope you all have have runout there!"
The excitement grew after hearing the name of the speaker some students were chatting to each other about it. "I can't believe thee Blanche is here!"
"I know right she's the number eight Prism and ranks twentieth overall!"
"She's so cute! I want to be just like her!"
"Alright now candidates settle down we have a lot to do today and we need to get it done as soon as possible! Now if you would all pay attention to the screen!"
The screen lot up showing a well planned out schedule. "This here is my little time table for how things are gonna go, okay!"
"Since we have about the one hundred thousand of you little ones we will seperate you into groups of two thousand which means we'll have about fifty groups and each group is allocated a total of 12 minutes inside the simulation."
"As you can see we plan to start at ten o'clock in the morning and finish by eight o'clock in the night. This is a very long process so we ask that you be on your very best of behaviours and follow instructions."
"The first group will be called shortly, listen carefully for your candidate ID number and you'll be escorted by the staff to your simulation room."
"That's it for now my little ones, I wish you all the best of luck. And remember not everyone can manifest an ability but everyone is special in their own way. Goodbye!"
