To achieve the status that he held at East Blue High School today, Ace had, ironically enough, several aces up in his rock sleeve.
First it was his fighting skills. At a gang ruled school, it was always a skill to be able to fight your way through life, but Ace was something extraordinary. He was one of the most wanted, and one of the strongest 'mercenaries', students swinging between different teams. His fighting skills were a mixed combination of martial arts and knuckle-irons heated with a flaming lighter. The weapons could easily burn holes through clothes and skin, and it wasn't unusual for known fighter to have a scar from a burn mark given to them by the raven.
And secondly: hell, he had even gotten himself a nick name; Fire Fist Ace. As if that didn't add to his cool status.
Then it was his body. No one with a sane mind could say that Ace looked bad. His body was trimmed to maximum from all the fighting in his life, and he made sure to show off as much as possible by always fighting topless, revealing tanned abs and a slim and lithe body.
His grades were okay too, for someone not bothering with studying. There were smarter kids at the school, n doubt about it, but Ace always knew how to pass everything, be it a test on German grammar or a fight in a back alley.
But, as he sat on his favorite spot of the roof of one of the lower buildings surrounding the school yard, Ace agreed with himself on what was the spot above the I when it came down to his status as the simply most awesome kid in school. His sunglasses.
During the summer half year, he seldom left home without them resting on the bridge of his nose, or taking place in his messy hair. It was a designed pair of pilot glasses, shaded with mirror glass. One of the best things about them, (and there were many more than the fact that he looked like a god, or at least a model in them) was that they were real Armani glasses, designed and expensive as hell, which made them excellent bragging material.
But, the best thing about the shaded glasses, Ace thought for himself as he pushed them up on his nose effectively covering his eyes, was that mirror glass meant that no one could see him, but he could see everybody. And if that wasn't the best opportunity in the world to ogle straight at any hot female's boobs, then he didn't know.
