2022-04-18 07:42:44"Harry!" Max called out as he stared at the ball of flames on Harry's palm. No one could explain the expression on Max's face as he kept staring at the ball of flames. "My 20XP is gone!" He suddenly said out loud causing the students to stare at him in confusion.
"Is he mad already or something?" A student asked and no one had the exact answer to his question, they were all confused.
"Hey, the hell is wrong with you? I just saved your ass and you can't show some appreciation!" Harry said. He was upset at Max's sudden behaviour.
"Thank you but I didn't beg to be saved...I need that thing on my chest, two of it on my chest or my reward will be gone," Max replied pointing to the ball of flames.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked in confusion. He was here to eat some breakfast when he saw the ball of flames dashing towards Max, out of instinct he rushed and caught it before it slammed on his chest. What he didn't understand was why he is acting the way he is doing right now, he was supposed to be happy that someone helped him but..... "What XP are you even talking about?"
'Damn! I almost leaked my secret' Max thought inwardly. "That was a mistake but you see, I was challenged by someone that if I can take two blows from this ball of flame, I will be rewarded. Just let me do it, besides you have no business here, go meet your friends."
Max was right in what he said, if Kelvin should meet Harry here and learn about what is going on, he would want to cause trouble and the sufferer would certainly be him — Max.
"I get what you are trying to say but don't worry he would do no such thing. I'll let him know that I did save you on my own accord and nothing else," Harry replied.
Meanwhile, the dark-skinned boy stood in his previous position and had been glaring at Max and Harry for a long time. He was angry with Harry for stopping his attack and at the same time angry at Max for having someone to help him. He felt insulted but knew he could not fight Harry because his level is at 1.5 while his level is only at 1.3. Nevertheless, he wasn't going to back down no matter what.
"Hey Harry, you know you've got no business here, step aside and let me teach that little brat some lessons," The boy yelled to Harry. Harry upon hearing what the boy said, turned and shot him a glare. He was about to say something when Max hushed him.
"You have no business here, he is right. It's between the both of us so allow me to take the blows or I'll feel insulted by everyone around," Max said and Harry sighed and dissipated the ball of flames in his palm.
"Alright, I give up but when I see the situation is getting out of hand, don't you try to stop me," Harry said to Max and moved away from him. He found a spot among the rest of the students and stood, his attention fully Max.
"You'll have nowhere to escape to this time around," the dark-skinned boy said with a grin on his face, he felt so eager to punish Max. He clasped his palms together and formed the ball of flames, this time it was two and he held one in each of his palms. "Feel my wrath!" the boy yelled and threw the two balls of flames at the same time.
"Holy Shi.....t!" Max yelled in horror as the two balls of flames were rushing towards him. He haven't even prepared and they were almost nearing him. "Fuck me!"
*Boom*
*Boom*
"Argh!!!!"
*Bang*

"Is he still alive?"
"Let's go check!"
All the students rushed to where Max had fallen, covered in debris.
"I bet he is dead, Tsk!" The dark-skinned boy scoffed and made to leave in satisfaction.
"What! He is alive an...Not harmed!" Someone yelled, abruptly causing the dark-skinned boy to halt.
"How can that be?" The dark-skinned boy asked in shock and rushed to where Max had fallen. "How are you not harmed?" he asked, still in shock. Max was surprisingly on his feet, dusting his clothes."My favourite jacket!" Max mumbled as he removed the jacket to examine it.
"You are okay? How did you do it?" Harry rushed over as well and asked, he too was in shock.
"It's my luck, the heavens are in my favour today," Max replied and walked out of the debris. He turned to the dark-skinned boy and smirked, "Thank you for teaching me a lesson today, in the nearest future, it'll be my turn and I hope you'll learn a lesson from it."
Max didn't wait to be replied to, he walked among the students while they quietly made paths for him and stormed out of the hall.
Meanwhile, in the shadows were two figures of men staring at the students. They had been there since the fight began."My Lord, what do you say? Isn't it time to give him the ability?" One of the figures said to the one at his right hand.
"No, not yet but soon. Keep an eye on him and let me know when he is ready." The other figure said and disappeared immediately, not giving the other one a chance to reply.
"How am I to know when he is ready?" The remaining figure said in frustration as he disappeared as well.

A Shameful End For Kelvin
With wide eyes and opened mouths, everyone watched as the same dark fogs that had disappeared before reappeared again. This time it was behind Kelvin who still had his eyes fixed on Max, he heard everyone scream his name but before he could process anything, it was already late. The dark fogs formed into some long claws and began to tear on his skin. Screams filled the air as Kelvin began to run around the duelling ground, as he ran, the claws followed him as well, tearing on his skin and causing his clothes to be dyed red.As blood gushed out from his body, he began to get weak. He got weak to the extent that he could no longer walk and so he fell to the ground, helpless. No one came to help him, everyone watched as strength sipped out of him gradually, yet, no one made an attempt to help him. Not even Matt who wanted so badly to be his friend. It was as if the world had left him to die, that he was insignificant. From where he was lying down, a tear dropped from his eye then followe
Beyond Expectations
"Looking for me?" Kelvin heard Max ask behind him, he turns around abruptly and sees the grinning Max but before he can open his mouth to talk, he was suddenly sent flying to the wall."What!""How the hell did he do that?""Did he just kick my Idol?"The entire Arena was in an uproar, students could not hide the shock on their faces as they stared at Max who was still grinning and then Kelvin who was lying on the ground, unable to move.Max slowly walked up to Kelvin who was groaning in pain, a smirk curved upon his lips as he bent down towards him. "I hate people like you the most!" He said coldly, causing Kelvin to turn around despite the pains on his back."Y-you....!" Kelvin shuddered, he didn't know what to say, he was confused, shocked and angry at the same time. Yet, he could not do a thing, he could only point at Max with hostility.Max seeing the anger on Kelvin's face beamed, he tilted his head to take a better look at Kelvin's face then without saying a word, he stood up.
Shadow Tricks
"You are to begin after the count of five," Kelvin said, sounding like an official referee. The two opponents nodded in understanding and Kelvin began his count."1""2""3" "4""5""BEGIN!"After the count, Kelvin quickly gave them some space by moving closer to the wall of the duelling ground. Max and Nat both took a fighting stance opposite each other, with their whole attention fixed on themselves. The noisy crowd became quiet as the time they all have been waiting for has finally arrived, their eyes and whole senses on the two boys on the duelling ground, no one wanted to miss any action."Hey, I won't take it easy on you so you better do the same," Nat said as a warning and clasped his hands together.'It's not time for me to show them my demon powers or I'll be in danger, I'll have to follow Zheren's idea even though I would want to beat the crap out of him' Max thought inwardly as he braced himself for whatever Nat was about to do.From Nat's clasped palms, particles of ligh
Stench Of Conspiracy
The next day arrived sooner than the students expected it to. But instead of complaining about how short the night was, they were all elated. They rushed to the dining hall for their breakfasts and when they were done, they all went to do one thing or the other. Among all these students were some that went to the school poling unit. This was one of the fun of the school, voting for a particular person during duels.The night before, it was announced that the duel between Max and Nat will be taken place today and so this morning, they could not wait to start voting for their favourite person. As expected, they were all voting for Nat to win because they believed he would but except for one person. The short brown-haired boy walked to the front and cast his vote on Max, this act got the entire students around upset to the extent that some could not take it again."Hey, shortie! What the hell do you think you are doing voting for a loser? You are the only one wishing Nat to lose," one of
There Will Be No Room For Failure
Max stormed inside the room and then slumped on his bed, his face was squeezed and his fists were clenched. Zheren also walked inside the room after some time, he glanced at Max and seeing his angry face could not help but sigh. He understood how he felt at the moment because he too had been in the same situation before. Nevertheless, he walked to Max and sat close to him, placing a hand on his shoulder he comforted him as a friend would — This was what Max needed at a time like this, a reminder that he has a friend who believes in him and will stand by him.After some time of comforting, Max calmed down. His face returned to its normal mood and his rising chest completely fell. Thanks to Zheren who knew how to use words just perfectly. After Zheren fell asleep because he mentioned that he was sleepy, Max took a shower because he knew how bad he smelled. After that, he wore light clothes and left the room after glancing at the Zheren.When he got outside, he began to make his way tow

"Kelvin, you guys have to hurry to the dorms, Nat and Max are about to fight!" A student yelled as he saw Kelvin, Harry and Matt."Max?""Max?"Harry and Kelvin asked in unison, the shocked expression on their faces could not be hidden. "How is that possible?" Kelvin asked in incredulity as he turned to Harry for an answer."We should go and check it out first," Harry replied and ran off. Part of him was overjoyed while the other part was in doubt, Max couldn't be back from the portal and alive. Nevertheless, he ran to the dorms and when he got there, he saw the crowd of students had already gathered around and mumbling hell knows not to themselves.Harry made his way through the crowd of students until he got to the front, where he saw Max being pushed to the wall by Nat. "Max!" He called as he rushed over immediately and stopped Nat from punching Max in the face."Hey man, you just woke up! Can't you rest a bit?" Harry asked as he held the angry Nat who was struggling to free hims
