"Hi, oh great lord"
"Walk slowly don't die"
Darius has slowly adapted to this new life, he has become the butt of many people's joke, some sarcastically call him the great lord.
This is Darius's current life, a living hell.
'How i wish i can be stronger like the Sorcerer in the adventure guild, Morak. He is so strong that even the kingdom must think twice before offending him' Darius hold his books tighter.
'How am i supposed to defeat the demonic Zaragoza or the Infamous Dark mage Torak, but i will still not give up' Darius steeled his resolve.
'Not to think of the Entire Empire threat Necromancer Cedric and his death law organization, all of those are looming threats that can destroy us at any time but i will still aim to be the best'
For many times Darius felt like giving up, he almost lost his cheerful personality, his classmates deem him as a trash and they never talk to him aside from mocking him.
"Hey you"
"Yes?" Darius turned and saw a kid throwing his book and the ground.
"Come and take it to me"
"Who the fuck are you?" Darius angrily cursed.
"Oh seems like the trash is going to get a new beating soon"
"What did you just say?" The boy asked.
"What your ear hears" Darius talk back.
"Insolent! You talentless trash dare to talk back to me?" The boy fires a fireball.
Swoosh
Darius used his fighter trained body to dodge it.
"Oh the trash is trying to get closer to Philips"
"But he forget that almost everyone knows that when fighting him, you should never let him come close to you"
Boom
It seems that Darius is hit and he is currently shaking on the ground.
"You dog, kiss my shoe and i might forgive you" Philips take a grand posture as he look down on Darius.
"Who are you calling dog?" Darius dangerously narrowed his eyes.
"Of course you are the only dog"
Darius muttered something that Philips can not hear, Philips crouched down to Darius's level.
'Such a fool, what a good opportunity'
"What are you saying?"
"Your father is a dog, you are a puppy and your mother is a bitch, Your whole damn family are dogs" Darius suddenly do an uppercut to Philips jaw.
Philips is the one currently thrashing on the ground in pain, mages does not train their body so hard after all.
Darius quick jump towards him and sit on Phillips's abdomen.
The next moment he start punching very hard at Philips face.
"You worthles-" Philips is filled to the brim with rage but before he finish his words Darius gave him a very hard punch sending his teeth flying.
"Philips will have no dignity left after this...
"That is so true...
"From trying to impress people to losing his all dignity...
"But that is not to say Darius is safe" A boy watching Darius still pounding out all his frustrations on Philips's face which look disfigure and disgusting now.
After all Darius is no longer the naive little Darius that does not want to hurt someone to the current ferocious beastly Darius.
"Please, i will give you money
"Who said i need your damn money!" Darius shouted and he punch again.
"Please, i beg you to stop"
"If you are the one in my place, you will have never stopped. Now the roles are just swapped" Darius punch again.
"After all Philips is one of the low tier rich young masters" Another boy said.
"Darius will soon be a death meat...
'What? did i do this? sometimes when i am angry a beastly instinct takes control of my mind, an instinct for survival' Darius is surprised but feel no remorse for the disfigure Philips.
Darius heard an alarm that signalled the time for the lunch and he went in the direction of the cafeteria.
On a dinning table for four people are three people which one of them is Darius.
"Congratulations on kicking that Philips's ass" Victor said, victor is the strongest in the group of three.
"That is so cool, Darius" Daniel said, he is not strong as victor but definite much stronger than Darius.
"How did you guys know?" Darius curiously asked.
The two look at each other in amazement before Victor answered.
"The hottest news is Darius beating one rich young master name Phillips to pulp and even made him cry" Victor happily said.
"Darius, Recently you have been using your merit points to exchange for books, information on magic types especially transformation magic and some other stuffs, what're you are trying to do?" Daniel curiously asked.
"I don't want to give up, i want to create my own unique type of magic" Darius gave a straight answer.
"But how can you do it ? What or who will guide you?" Victor asked.
"My instincts and dreams that i recently been having" Darius answered.
"Why do you believe in then this much?"
"Because currently, all i want is hope, no matter how stupid or unrealistic they are. I just want something to hold unto" Darius's voice turned sad.
"We will always be there for you" His two only friends assured him.
"I know guys, and no matter what i will never forget you too" Darius felt extremely happy that he has this two friends that care about him.
'How i wish that Eric is also here' Darius remember his first best friend.
"We will try teaching you a fireball spell, its a practical class" Daniel said.
"Alright, thank you"
"Don't mention it, bro" Victor pat him on the shoulder.
After all the class and dinner the three boys have arrived at the training ground.
"Darius close your eyes, and try concentrating on a fiery energy, imagine it moving through your hands to your palm" Victor explained how the fireball is done.
"Okay"
As Darius is concentrating, he is able to see a burning flame energy, he used the method of moving energy that he is taught at the Fist of truth hall. His palm started heating up and it even carried a tinge of yellowish-orange color.
"Hah ... Hah.... Hah
Darius keep on panting and his face shows a look Of satisfaction.
"Are you able to imagine and feel the flame energy?" They both asked.
"No" Darius a naughty look find its way to Darius face.
His two friends drew a long breath of air before cracking their knuckles.
"What is the look of satisfaction for?" Victor asked.
"Yeah, what is it for?" Daniel also asked.
"I don't know what it means but my palms started to heat up, so i decided to quit and ask you what does that mean" Darius answered.
"You idiot!" Victor first grab him and Daniel knick his head.
"What's that for? You did not tell me the meaning" Darius pouted.
"It means that if you have endured for a little longer, you will have shoot a fireball" Daniel answered.
"Since you have reached this stage, you will not sleep unless you shoot a fireball tonight. Failure to do so is that you will not sleep, no breakfast, lunch and dinner for you and we will knock your head until it caved in" Victor said.
"That is too much, in fact it is too cruel" Darius protested.
"Mind trying us?" They both said.
"Uh forget it, let's train"
They spend the night training and after a series of trials and Errors with new constant threats from his two Friends, Darius managed to shoot his very first fireball, his first spell.
