Tale of The Two Schools

Our world is as equally filled with things of a bizarre, and awkward nature, as it is filled with that which is standard, and normal. There are strange animals, strange places, strange phenomenons, and even strange people. Yet these strange people, are, more so than any of the other oddities, shunned from the majority of society, save for their close friends, and family. It is practically suicide for an inexperienced "Oddity" to wander onto the streets of even their own town, as doing so would lead to discrimination, and even beatings.

Hence, these people, most of them teens, or preteens, were in need of a place to call their home, where they could find acceptance for what they were. In response to this need, groups of "odd" adults, took it upon themselves to set up boarding schools for these young minds, so that they could learn to control these oddities, and live in peace, away from the judgment of other "normal" people. For a while, there was only a single school for these people to flock to, and not enough space for all of them, and thus, some had to be denied entry.

But over time new schools began to spring up across the world. With so many schools popping up, rivalries between schools would become an inevitability. While many of these rivalries were friendly, and light of heart, there those that were carried by heavier hearts, and taken with greater seriousness. One such rivalry sprung up between two schools in the United States: Rizhen Metahuman Institute, and Elderidge Academy For The Gifted. Their rivalry was practically legendary amongst the other schools, and their curricula were unmatched by any others in the world.

What's more, the two schools were located only thirty miles apart from each other, making their rivalry all the more potent, as they work against the other for students.

As both schools were constantly trying to prove their superiority to the other, they were in need of a legitimate means of making this point. The staffs of the two schools gathered together in a rare meeting, and came to a decision: At the end of each schooling year, the two schools would meet at a secluded location, and hold a tournament, which would test the powers of their students, and determine which schools had yielded the finer crop of students.

The passed three years of this now fifty year tradition, have seen a tie in the tournament. Both schools have proven themselves equal. But alas, it is a new year, and a new tournament is only months away. Both schools have begun preparing for it, ready to break the three year draw.​
