JOHN'S POV
I walked through the halls, receiving some stares from other students. Why you ask, well I decided not to wear my hair gel and just leave it as it is. Some of my bangs fell on my face just like when I was back in New Bostin as I walked to class. I entered the classroom and walked over to my desk, dropping my bag on the floor and slumping down on my seat, getting glances from my classmates. "Tch" is all I said in response as all the other students started entering the room and we began class.

AFTER CLASS
I was walking behind the school walls passing by when suddenly I was cornered by some Mid tiers. I glared at them for a second, then one of them spoke.
"What the hell are you glaring at, idiot? " The blue-haired guy said as he shoved me against the wall.
"Don't touch me."
"Hahahaha, don't touch me, he says"
" That new haircut must be messing with your brain! "
" Don't forget who's the strongest one here"
" I call the shots! and I'LL DO WHATEVER THE HECK I WANT!! "
He shouted at me as he attempted to punch me in the face. " Disgusting," I said to myself as I saw him. I grabbed his arm, which surprised him a bit. "Huh!?" He whispered but loud enough for me to hear. I then twisted his arm and pinned him to the ground.
"I said... DON'T F*UCKING TOUCH ME, YOU PIECE OF S*HIT! "
I shouted back at him while dislocating his shoulder.
"AAHHHHHH!!! MY ARM!!!! GET OFF OF ME!!! "
" You stupid cripple...! "
" HEY! LET GO OF HIM! "
"...TCH! "
The other three students said as they started charging at me at the same time, activating their ability. I then looked at them, with so much anger and disgust. My eyes then started glowing a little meaning my ability is activated, but not bright enough for them to notice. I then let go of the guy's arm and stood up facing them as they sped towards me, ready to attack. As I was watching them approaching me fast, a memory from my past popped up in my mind. It was the day everything changed, even me.
⁺•̩̩͙✩*˚⁺˚*•̩̩͙ FLASHBACK⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺
I was standing in front of the girl, the girl who started all of this. Blood all over my body, the blood of the students who tried to go against me, is now on the floor unconscious. My ability was activated as I looked at the green-haired girl in front of me on her knees, I just smirked.
"Hmph"
"Did you really think that by rallying a bunch of people...you could take me down?"
" Claire, I thought you had more foresight than that. After all, you knew long before we met... I would be King"
Her eyes shot up to meet mine, glaring at me as I said those words. It was silent for a moment then I deactivated my ability and spoke.
"Isn't that why you helped me in the first place? So that you could use me to further yourself? "
" Well you succeeded, and I played right into your hands. What more could you want? "
I waited for her to answer but she didn't, she kept quiet. Wrong move. I started getting irritated, so I suddenly grabbed her hair.
"ACK!"
"ANSWER ME!!"
"Why did you turn everyone me? Why would you betray me like this!! Do I mean nothing to you!!!"
"HAVE YOU SEEN YOURSELF JOHN !?"
She shouted at me full of anger and frustration filled her voice. I stood there stunned at what she said.
"Let go!"
She pulled my hand away from her hair and slapped me across my face, which left me shocked even more.
"TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME!! "
" You are always looking for reasons to hurt other people! You're so conceited! You don't care about anyone but yourself!! "
"YOU TYRANT! YOU HYPOCRITE! All this strength you have now...YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY OF IT!! "
"What...? "
"I NEVER SHOULD HAVE HELPED YOU! I WISH I NEVER MET YOU-! "
" SHUT UP!!! "
" MAKE ME! Go ahead and beat me up like everyone else! "
I grabbed the collar of her shirt, pulling her towards me. Then I pulled my fist back ready to punch her, as tears started streaming down her face, her eyes filled with hate.
"I SAID...SHUT THE F*CK UP!!! "
"Monster"
Those were the last words she said to me before I punched her hard on the cheek, making her fall onto the ground with a loud thud.
*•̩̩͙✩˚*•̩̩͙ END OF FLASH BACK⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙
I snapped back to reality, stunned by the old memory. I looked down at the ground for a moment whilst the three students continued sprinting towards me, ready to beat me up. I took my fighting stance ready to defend myself, as the girl with blue eyes attacked me first. She threw a punch at me but I managed to dodge it in time.
"ARGH !"
She is over-powering me so easily, a direct hit from her, and it's game over.
I balled up my hands forming a fist, and I punched in her stomach. As I did so, another person shot missile-like power balls towards me. I swiftly dodge all of them, I then looked over to the guy who shot the missiles who was at the very back, and glared at him. He's the only one blocking my escape! If I could take him down then- my thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind me, it seemed like a girl's voice.
"Better watch your back "
She said as she struck me on my back, making me arch my back. But as soon as I did I felt someone punch me on my cheek, which caught me off guard.
"SURPRISE MOTHER F*CKER! "
I fell to the ground, using my arm to support my body. But before I could stand up I felt someone slam their hands on my back, causing me to cough up blood, and fall flat on the ground. The girl who slammed my back grabbed my hair and forced my head to look up at them. The guy with blue hair, I'm guessing their leader started laughing.
"Hahaha! Not so tough now, are we? Look at how pitiful you look! Just stop trying to embarrass yourself and just give in. There is nothing you could do."
My eyes opened slightly, but only to see blurry faces, as I breathed heavily from all of the beatings I had to endure. It seemed like the blue-haired guy was saying something but I didn't understand a word. Then I heard I voice shouting at me.
"HEY CRIPPLE! HE ASKED YOU A QUESTION! Answer him NOW! "
She was about to punch me on the back of my head, but to my surprise, I felt no pain. There was a yellow barrier surrounding my beaten body. As soon as the girl's fist came in contact with the barrier, her hand started getting bloody and she started screaming from the pain. My body then fell on the ground too tired to move.
" WAAAAAAHHH !!!!! "
"Illena!"
"AUGH!! F*CK! "
" Are you alright!? What happened? "
" I don't know! This stupid barrier just appeared from nowhe-! "
They all suddenly froze by the sudden realization of who the barrier belonged to.
They all looked over their shoulders to see the blonde-haired king, Arlo. His blue eyes glowed a bright blue, meaning his ability is activated. He then started walking towards us, with a poker face on. One of the guys then spoke.
"A-Arlo! "
The said king didn't respond and stood in front of me. Looking at my horrible state. All he said was "TCH! " And turned his attention to the blue-haired guy, who started all of this.
"Ah, sorry you had to witness this mess...you see this cripple was annoying us. So we just wanted to teach him a lesson...you know, like put him in his place...! "
Arlo then made a barrier around him, and I started shrinking until he was on his knees and his head facing the ground.
"Uh-Uhm, what's the meaning of this? A-Arlo? "
He started getting anxious and worried about being crush by the barrier, the Arlo spoke while placing his foot on the small barrier.
"Who gave you the right to speak? "
Arlo glanced at me who is still on the ground, covered in injuries. He started walking towards me and knelt, he grabbed my arm and placed it over his shoulders supporting my body from falling, and brought me to the infirmary, leaving the 4 other students shocked by the said King's actions.
