~A bunch of students came in and looked around the store

~As Axel looked around at them, Mrs Shine came to the counter

Shine: Whatcha are you daydreaming about?

Axel:*shakes his head*Afternoon ma'am

Axel: What brings you here today?

Shine: Oh, I'm just passing by for a refill.

Axel: I'll get on with it 

Shine: diesel. It's diesel. Not petrol, kid.

Axel: Yeah, I remember 

PAGE1 

~As  Axel was about to approach the door, he saw 3 robbers

~They came barging, and they aimed their guns at all of us

 Robber 1: Alright, hands up and no funny business

Robber 2: Oh, would you look at that, it's those hero wannabe kids

Robber 3: This is like taking candy from a baby

PAGE2

~They came in a bit closer and took some money

~ Shine was about to attack, but Axel took an umbrella and disarmed one of the robbers 

~ Shine ran to the other robber with a gun, while Axel ran up to the unarmed robber and punched the robber in the freezer

~The robber fired a shot, but Shine pushed it up and knocked the robber out

PAGE3

~ Shine and Axel both looked around for the last robber and saw the robber holding Aurelia hostage

Aurelia: Get your filthy hands off of me!

~Shine froze, knowing that one of the students was in danger

~Axel didn’t hesitate and took a fishing rod and threw the hook over to the lie where the robber was

~Axel took the gun with his hook and ran to the back of the robber and knocked him out

PAGE4

~ Shine had to blink and snap back to the situation 

~ Shine ran and hugged Aurelia 

~ Shine looked at Axel

Shine: Thank you

Axel: *panting,* don’t sweat it 

Shine: We need to get moving, NOW.

~Axel gets a glass and pours milk

~He sat on his roof from the window of his bedroom *stats*

PAGE7

"Every month, there is a huge meteor shower with wishing stars."

"These stars then grant anyone any power they wish."

"What's the catch?"

"Once someone has already wished for a power, the star loses its wishing ability, kind of like a genie, but instead of 3 wishes, it's 1." 

"Which can drastically decrease your chance of even getting one wish."

"And I… always wanted to become a hero with powers."

"Although every time I try to wish for a power."

"Someone already beat me to it."

"I never missed a meteor shower."

"Losing hope every time I see the stars dim after it has been wished."

"So why still carry on…"

PAGE8

Axel:*drinks the glass of milk*

Axel: That could've ended off…* thinking about the robbery*

Axel: Hey, I guess I was actually a hero today

Axel: It’s a start, I guess

Axel: I'm a bit sloppy, though. Sensei bout lecture me on *coronation hand signs*, the basics are key.

PAGE9

"The meteor shower started, but Axel was looking because he knew it was all going to get wished before he made one."

"The meteor shower ended shortly." 

Axel: *drinks the last of the milk from the glass*

Axel: *as he put the glass down on the table, he saw a little spec of light in the sky*

Axel: *he squints at the light*

"The light gets bigger and bigger, heading towards him."

PAGE10

Axel: What is that?

Axel: And why is he heading here!!!

"This light hit his backyard grass, which then appeared to be a space rock."

PAGE11

Axel: woah! It's a space rock.

Axel:*he went downstairs to go and take it to bring to his room*

Axel: I will find out what kind of rock it is soon, but right now I need to go to bed before I wake up late for school again

PAGE12 

"He got into his bed and turned off his lamp; besides, it was the space rock."

"Once he fell asleep, the rock was glowing and made his room in a zero gravity state."

PAGE13

"his lamp, bed, glass, himself, plant, and book are all floating, a picture of his family."

"The rock cracks open, revealing a star."   

"The star transferred inside of him while he was still sleeping." 

"Little sparkles appeared around him before the room gradually got its gravity again."

Axel: Huh, that's a relief and concerning at the same time

PAGE17

Axel: Oh, wow, thanks. What's in it?

S.F.A great headmaster: I don’t know, it was from the principal

PAGE18

Axel: Well…thanks for everything, *turns around to put the box down*

S.F.A great headmaster:  There's just one more thing

Axel: There is?

S.F.A great headmaster: the principal was impressed by your little heroic deed, which made him think

Axel: Yeah?

S.F.A great headmaster: He said he hasn't heard of such people like you in a while, so * reaches in his blazer and pulls out an envelope, giving it to Axel*

PAGE19

Axel: Wawawhat a-are you saying?

S.F.A great headmaster: The envelope kid

Axel: *Takes it and stares at it before opening it*

PAGE31

Axel: *ok…this is cool, but I feel like I didn’t dress properly for all of this.*

Shine: Stop worrying, you look fine.

Axel: Huh *did she just read my mind?*

Shine: *Pats the seat next to her* Take a seat, Axel

Axel: Okay… *he sits next to her*

Shine: -yes, I am a hero too

PAGE33

Axel: You’re a 5-star hero!

Shine: Ha-Ha, what are you, a fan or something?

Axel: Actually, yeah.

Axel: I'm a fan of all heroes, see I know you because you were my mom's favourite hero, and I debate who's better between you and my favourite hero's 

Shine: Your mom sounds cool. Anyway, I will be your teacher for S.F.A.

Shine: Which makes you my student

Shine: But there are some rules you will have to follow in my class.

Shine: It's ok, the other kids were like you when I first met them.

Axel: The other kids?

Shine: You will meet them tomorrow.

PAGE37

Axel: *inhale and exhale* Come on, you wished for something like this like forever

Scene 6

PAGE39

Shine: This is your dorm.

~Axel got into his dorm

Shine: all rooms provided have the basic things a young student needs, as well as a young upcoming hero.

PAGE40 & PAGE41 

~A visual of the room 

Shine:  a queen-size bed, 4k smart TV, night lamp, mirror, closet for clothes and hero gear and suits, AC, coat hanger, a room communication device, and a view of the outside. 

Axel: Everything is so advanced!

Shine: That’s not all.

PAGE42

~A visual on the display screen on the wall next to the bathroom wall

Shine: Heading to the bathroom, it first wants you to identify your name, age, height, weight, gender, and password, but it's optional.

PAGE43

Shine: Inside, you will find a high-tech toilet, bath, shower, sink, mirror, provided towels, a stepping chair, and a basket for your laundry.

Axel: It's those Japanese smart toilets

PAGE44

Shine: and that’s all your room has to offer, but keep in mind, here in (S.F.A), we allow you to express yourselves, so students are allowed to customize their dorms.

Axel: That’s awesome 

Shine: That’s all for the tour…or do you want a full school tour?

PAGE45

Axel: No thanks, Shine, I can look by myself.

Shine: Ok, don’t get too lost

Axel: Yeah, trust me, I will be fine

Shine: Yeah, I don’t trust you.

Shine: But hey, this was your choice *turned around to the door*

Shine: Oh, and one more thing before I leave.

Axel: Yeah?

PAGE46

Shine: You will be getting tested tomorrow, so don’t screw up.

Axel: * Remembers what the headmaster said* So…what is it about

Shine: For us to declare if you are ready for S.F.A., we test our students in many different tests. Of course,  I will have to tell you what actual test you will do, but it's randomised, and it always changes every month.

PAGE47

Shine: Us teachers, headmaster, headmistress, and the principal will all score you out of 10. so isn't any room for failure, okay?

Axel: *Nervous* o okay

Shine: …*Looks back at him and has a flashback of him saving Aurelia*

PAGE48

Shine: Hey, I can't wait to truly call you my student tomorrow! *warm smile* 

Axel: *Looks at shine* 

Shine: See you tomorrow, Axel. Rest well now *exits the room*

PAGE49

Axel: I never would have thought I would hear a hero rooting for me

Axel: I wonder what I will have to do tomorrow

Axel: Never mind that for now, I need to get unpacking and exploring this uhh…uh…CAN YOU EVEN CALL THIS A SCHOOL!

Scene 7

PAGE50

~20 mins later

Axel: I can finally explore

Axel: *Looks at the box that he got from the principal* I will open it before I go to bed…probably

PAGE51

~Axel leaves the dorm and walks around the building

~Axel walked by the cafeteria, dodgeball room, locker rooms, the classes, trophy room, and the hall

PAGE52

Axel: *Axel gets a bit hungry* *Axel spotted a vending machine* 

Axel: Now we're talking! *Axel approached the vending machine*

Axel: Let's see, maybe they have lava chops or unicorn…*Axel looks at the vending machine*

PAGE53 

Axel: OH…MY…STARS

~The vending machine has snacks around the world and rare snacks~

Axel: I'm coming back here soon.

~Axel put in some coins and got lava chops

PAGE54

Shine: I agree

Axel: Shine!?* A chip fell on the ground*

Voice1: Who's there!

PAGE55

Axel: !! * Axel ran to his dorm like a sloppy spy*

~Voice 1 came to the door to look if someone was there, as a shadowy figure

~Voice1 looks down at the chip

Scene 8

PAGE56

Axel: *He came in and pushed the button to close the door* sigh

Axel: System update? Oh…no. Please tell me it's not about the test tomorrow.

Axel: And if it is, then why an update as soon as I come to this school

 Axel: *Sigh* Maybe that’s why I actually got accepted in this…this…

PAGE57

Axel: I am just going to be their Ginnie pig, who helped one of their students from dying

Axel: So much for being a hero…*looks at the box beside his bed*

Axel: I bet this is bad too *walked towards the box and opened it*

~Inside, there was a book with a signature from White Angle, but he didn’t get a proper look to realise 

PAGE58

Axel: *He put it down next to the bedside table*

Axel: *He looked a bit disappointed*

~Axel looked down at the box and saw a plastic bag

~Inside it, when he opened it, it was a blazer also from White Angel, but he didn’t realise it

Axel: Neat, I guess *he put the blazer back in the box*

Axel: *Yawns and looks at the time*

PAGE60

Axel: Well, it was good while it lasted room

Axel: Let this be the last day I rest, in S.F.A

Axel: *He lay on the bed*…
