Dooms At The Corner

“Ugoh..., my body is ailing; my soul feels like it is about to leak. Scorching, my skin is scorching. Why is this happening?” A young boy with white hair and black eyes, under his eyes there are dark circles as he didn’t sleep for an eternity and fair skin. He is dreaming that he is in a vast place where is everything, also nothing, a shadow who gives retribution all time, a place where you only get pain. He is running continuously but can't find its end.

“Bzz…..bzz…” alarm started to ring.

  The sound of the ringing buzzer struck his head like a neurotic toxin and at the next juncture; it awoke him from his anti-livable nightmare. He is Kagen Starlezia, a fifteen years old boy, whose height is about one sixty-eight cm, all alone and not even once interacting with both genders except parents. But not gay.

This dream of being in hell has become a habit from his childhood as per as he can recollect his memory. Thanks to a mishap at eight years old he lost all his remembrance, but he is striving to retreat them.

Looking at his dormitory clock’s 7.30, he freaked out in his mind and blabbered, “Oh shit, I have to rush or I will be late for my entrance ceremony at the magic school.”

  In Kwasiki, the land of lightning power, the schooling system is unique. One starts schooling at fifteen years through the entrance written exam. Before that, you have to study which line you are going to choose in the academy.

There are five continents and each of them has its study technique and differs in its powers. Even so, there are many places yet to discover. Kagen lives in the peaceful continent of lightning Kwasiki and the city where he dwells is the city of losers Harsya.

Losers' term came six years ago. When the Great War between two continents Srriatus and Clistoria happened, the soldiers of Harsya battled in that war favoring the side of Clistoria, which is a human continent. Apart from other continents, the Srriatus is a Demon-based continent. But for Harsya soldiers' incomparable forgiveness, they helped injured soldiers even if they are enemies, but tragedy occurred and they got stabbed in the back.

No Harsya soldiers returned from there. From that moment, the people of other places started calling the people of Harsya, The Losers' land. But luckily, Kagen’s parents hadn’t taken part in that battle. Kagen was now attending Zardia country Magic school. Harsya is a city in Zardia. Zardia is a country on the Kwasiki continent. Apart from the Losers theory, this city once gave the greatest adventurer. But as people have to resolve once, a loser is always a loser.

He thinks it's not the right thing, but whatever it is it's not like he can change anything and everyone has their perspective. He doesn’t care what people think?

The time of March, with the pleasant wind which slightly moves the grasses along with the leaves of trees which are shining by the soft warm beam of sun. Truly the image of a well-starting day for youth.

The first day of school with the anxiety the starting of youth, when the base of youth becomes a physical body and leaves its imaginary form. The dream of every student who wants their youth to be prosperous and become a magician who they can be proud of. This is the place where all wishes and dreams come true and make a great impact in their life THE MAGIC SCHOOL ACADEMY OF ZARDIA.

While all the students already starting to enjoy and put their feet in the chapter of youth, there is one boy who has no dream of developing or doesn't have any intention of entering the youth chapter of his life Kagen starlezia.

Kagen entered the campus of the magic academy, the scent of soil which absorbed the water, the sight of ten kilometers of magic campus and twenty kilometers of sword campus battleground making a thirty-kilometer whole school. 

The magic academy school is so big that its shadow was covering its whole ten-kilometer campus.

After entering and seeing the other students, Kagen thought, ’youth, it’s just a lie, which never becomes true, the fools who enjoy it shall know the pain, and I am going to enjoy my whole life with peace different from others.'

Starting the day as he was searching for his class, walking in the corridor, there were hundreds of students. Everyone was searching for their class whereabouts. As searching, a well-being figure got bumped with Kagen “Bump...”. The other party who got bumped fell to the ground. Not to make any commotion, Kagen placed forward his hand for the help of that young man and said, "Ohh... Sorry" Kagen, apologize for bumping.

Without accepting his hand and forcefully sliding it, the young man stood up and started to remove the dust or pretended to remove it from his dress with his hands.

Then a man which is standing right beside that young man shouted and started dominating Kagen and said “you damn commoner, couldn’t you see Sir Arthur? Are you blind? Or you just wanted to get a touch of Sir Arthur's holy body”.

With the sudden boom of discomfort or difficulty, Kagen found himself as a lost person. He didn’t even know who the hell Arthur is.

By hearing his shocking nonsense, Kagen thought, ‘are students the teachers here?! And what is he doing here? Who the hell you are? Also, I don't want to know it and it is not like it was my fault.'

When Kagen was lost in his deep analysis, that young man once again replied with a prideful look,” Sir Arthur is the only Son of Zardia country’s President Daqlin Gralaw.”

 Arthur stood up and after cleaning his shirts by stroking his hands several times, he replied while making a dazzling face, “Don’t fight for me. Forgive him.” And by continuing it with a disgusting face he said, “Maybe lowly commoners nowadays don't know about royalty and politics stuff. These are out of their reach. Don't get involved with them."

Even if there is no one’s fault in a fight, it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. Who stands still, in the end, announces as the crown of the winner and worthy one of rightness. Considering this in his mind, Kagen controlled himself and, to avoid these crowds, he humbly bent towards Arthur and said the best word “Sorry” and without further continuing, he left the place at once and didn’t even look back for once. He didn't want to cause any commotion and ruin his peaceful life.

While going towards his class in the hallway, Kagen started to think, 'these rich people think they own this world, why do you have so much ego?' even if he says that he can't do anything. He is just an ordinary, powerless boy who only dreams of a peaceful life. And let out a sentence with his always poker face “Waah... How satisfying these dreams are.”

And also he doesn’t have any interest in another world apart from his life.

Without knowing that he reached his classroom, he was still thinking about the incident and trying to figure out if a fight broke out and how will he would go to avoid it. From the noises which were coming from class, he came to his senses and, after confirming the class, he entered his classroom. Without making any interaction or eye contact with anybody, he found a vacant seat and secured it by sitting there. After some time ordinary class homeroom teacher Tanya Blanderherd came.

  Tanya blanderherd is a woman in her twenties, who has violet hair, dark brown eyes, a height of about one seventy-five cm, fair skin, and second most intelligent teacher in the Academy.

First-class was about Magic manipulation, it is the beginning of the beginning. In magic, manipulation is elementary magic, which has nothing to do with magic. It prepares the body to attack magic and receive or defend the magic. Kagen learned it pretty much in his childhood from the books.

"I am your classroom teacher now for one year, and don't forget to remember this face," Tanya said while placing the name register on the table with a great noise and continued with "Now for now everyone will stand up and introduce themselves one by one, and don't try to be rushing"

The students gave their introduction now its Kagen’s time,

  Come on Kagen, let's go-

"My name is Kagen Starlezia and my hobby is reading novels and manga. Please don't mind me and ignore me"

 The class got silent for a minute and stared at him and Kagen thought’ he he.. The best introduction for the introvert and an alone guy like him. Perfect, you did well, Kagen boy, you did it.’

After Kagen's introduction, suddenly the room of the class changed and Tanya smirked for a second. The introduction was over, and the classes started.

"Magic is the fundamental thing in humans, but some awaken it and some can't. Who can't awaken them? They become swordsmen and who use magic become magicians"

"But in history, many unrecorded people use both," Tanya said.

"Who can tell me what magic types are?"

Many students turn up their hands to answer. But, of course, Kagen wasn’t among them. This is the flag that wakes commotion. It can be his biggest problem. So he avoids it.

"You answer the question, Mr. freidren limestone?" Tanya decreed by pointing at a student.

Freidren limestone, the son of ordinary class society president Hawks limestone. A boy with black hair, green eyes, and fair skin. One fifty cm tall.

"Yes miss gladly, magic are four types of, there are element magic, Manipulation magic, Demon magic, and light magic," after standing up he replied with a diligent smile.

"Can you explain it, Mr.Freidren?"

"Yes, first elementary magic is the elemental magic, as are fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. These are the symbols of continents from which the respected continent magic originated.”

“Second Manipulation magic allows manipulating not only own but also other magic. The third one is Dark magic, which is specially used magic by demons. There is no record in the human book about this”

“Fourth Light magic is said to be a combination of manipulation magic and elemental magic, but to date, no one has ever used or can use it. It is legend magic," answered Friedren with a satisfying face...

"Oh.. He is so cool, he can even answer the hard questions, we can't understand anything but how cool," class students said.

  Everywhere you see this fanning upon someone, but whatever, Kagen doesn't care about that and it's not like it harms him.

Even in magicians, the attributes of magic differ some become fire magicians, some become wind magicians, some become water magicians, some become lightning magicians, and some become earth magicians. If someone controls two attributes, they label them as manipulation magicians.

"Tomorrow we are going to have a practical class on attribute specialization. You are going to know what your attribute is and who you are going to become," said Tanya at the end of the class and ordered the students to leave in a line and discipline after she left.

"From tomorrow, hustle is gonna start. Huh, I want a peaceful life," Kagen was saying with his always poker face as his first day ended.

The next day something happened that started to slowly change his life without his knowledge.
