Inside a dimly lit room stood a hulking size man with many students.
Many of the students are shaking due to exhaustion and fear but Darius is diffrent, he is not that afraid here.
Since he awaken his powers, he don't know how to explain it but sometimes he felt that he is the Apex Predator, why should he fear someone else?
"Darius!"
It is finally Darius time to go and answer some questions.
Creak...
Darius open the door and went inside.
"Hmm, a small boy. Have a sit"
The red haired man from the discipline hall is surprised seeing that the main topic of this case is a little kid.
"So what happen there?"
"As I am walking back from class, I was suddenly pulled into a dark place and when I recovered my sight, I saw around thirty boys all glaring at me with malicious intent"
"Continue"
"Then I saw the guy that use to humiliate me whom I beat sometime ago, he commanded them to beat me and they beat me up like I am not human"
Darius eyes turned dangerous when saying this.
"So they gang up on you?"
"Yes, they did and I did not want any trouble but they force my hand"
"Why are you always keeping to yourself?"
"Because I did not have any ability and everyone make fun of me and when I fight back it became a problem, I just want to study magic peacefully without any trouble from all those arrogant kids"
"But did you know that all of these is not a curse but a blessing to you?"
"Don't tell me that, I know you just want to encourage me but I am no longer the childish and naive Darius that you can utter those word and then I will believe you. My mind don't work that way anymore"
The red haired man is surprised that this little boy in front of him has this much in him.
"I am really serious about what I am telling you"
"Prove it"
'This kid did not have any fear in him while been in my presence even though I have been releasing my aura to scare him, this boy is really interesting'
"Without all those things happening to you, will you be able to get wiser and stronger, will you?"
Darius contemplated a bit before shaking his head.
"You have now awakened a power that is unseen in the current generation and you are a very valuable asset, you one of a kind. Now tell me what can you do with your magic?"
"It is a magic that allows me to transform into a beast, it is a transformation type of magic"
"We have decided to send you into an Elites Mage Academy"
"I alone?"
"Your friend Victor, is also a very good talent and possesses the unique magic of shadows, we have always wanted to enroll him there"
"Daniel is also very talented, he possesses a unique ability of lightening, what about him?"
"He is talented but not at your level"
"If he is not going, then I am not going too"
Darius stubbornly said.
"Why don't you reconsider? it is a very valuable opportunity"
"If you are not going to send Daniel with me then forget about me going"
"Who said you can make demands?"
The red haired man released a dangerous but Darius endured and look unfazed on the surface but he is feeling the pressure.
"Then I will commit suicide if you force me to go without my friend"
Darius threatened.
The red haired man is very surprise, he is not this surprised in a long time, the dangerous him is threatened by a kid.
'What a stubborn lad'
"Alright he will also be going, now get out!"
He finally compromised which make Darius happily smiled.
"Senior, what is your name?"
"I said get out!"
"No, you must tell me otherwise I will not try my best to get stronger"
"Arghh, fine, my name Marcus"
"Aha, thank you senior Marcus, bye"
Darius wave and happily went out with a smile which surprised many of the people outside.
"We are been given permission to leave"
Gasps
Gasps of surprised could be heard from all around them.
"Who give you the permission?"
A Mage block Darius's path.
"Ask one senior Marcus with red hair in that place"
With that Darius left with his friends.
Outside the discipline hall...
"How did you do that?"
"What did you say to him?"
Daniel and Victor start asking questions about how did he let the red haired dude let him go and what did he tell him.
"Calm down and I will tell you but only if you calm down and stop asking questions"
His two friends stay silent and await his answers, Darius list some demands and made them promised to fulfill it.
"The answer is..."
Darius for a dramatic effect to set in.
"I just tell the truth"
"What?!"
They both stare at him speechless.
"You are truly shameless"
Daniel look like he is about to beat Darius to a paste.
"If been wise is been shamless, then my second name is lord shameless"
"It truly suits you, lord of shameless"
Victor said
"Hey that's not what I mean"
'It truly feels good to be myself for once, so this is the importance of strength, without it, I can never be myself. I will do whatever I have to do to obtain strength'
Darius made a silent but strong promise, the fires of determination burn strongly in his hearth.
A new but hard and exciting adventure awaits them.
