'I'm bored!'
'I want something interesting to happen!'
'Be it zombie apocalypse, alien invasion, hero summoning circle, or even the end of mankind! I want any of those to happen! I am suffering just by living!'
In a span of several seconds, thoughts surged within the mind of a high school student.
A high school student with waist-length purple hair leaned his head on his right arm that was placed on his desk. His jade-green eyes peered outside the glass window.
The high school student was none other than Keith McDowell. Chaotic thoughts flooded Keith's mind due to boredom.
"One plus one doesn't equal two but three. According to the laws of Nonsensical Operation Of Numbers…"
While Keith ignored his math teacher's gibberish who clearly didn't receive his math degree, Keith kept his attention outside the classroom by gazing through the glass window.
Keith was waiting for something interesting to happen that could satiate his boredom.
While Keith was gazing outside the classroom, a book entered his vision as it fell from a higher floor.
'Something interesting happened!'
Keith thought as he remembered that there was a book that fell from a higher floor, or it might even come from the sky!
'I'll check up on the book after class. If I am fortunate enough, I might be able to obtain it before the other students get it.'
With that decision in mind, Keith shifted his attention to whatever absurd thoughts came into his mind while pretending to listen to his teacher.
"By the power of Mathematical Idiocy, we can apply the degree of Math Supremacy. Equations can be whatever we want as long as it doesn't make sense. Math was created to…"

-Ring!!!
The school bell rang, indicating the end of the school day.
Keith took out his portable mirror and comb from his pocket. After combing his hair for a minute to maintain his long silky and shiny purple hair, he exited the classroom.
'I hope the book remained in place.'
While that thought came into his mind, Keith casually walked the hallways with both of his hands in his pockets.

"Weak piece of shit! Hand over your protection fees or else I won't protect you from my fists!"
A burly teenager gathered with his gang members as they surrounded a freshman from this school.
Unlike the burly gang leader, the freshman was short and lanky. Wearing thick black-framed glasses, the freshman was an easy-to-bully nerd according to the Bullying Master 101 handbook.
"I- I don't have money! Can I pay tomorrow?"
The lanky student spoke in a shaky voice while fearfully averting his eyes from the bullies.
"You hear 'em, boys? This piece of shit doesn't have money!"
"Being poor is a sin! Beat him up!"
After the burly teenager insulted the lanky student, he commanded his gang members to beat up the lanky student.
The two gang members followed their leader's command as they ganged up against the lanky student.
Shoving the lanky student against the floor, the lanky student sprawled on the floor as his body squirmed in pain whenever the gang leader and gang members stomped their foot on him as if they were squashing a bug.
The lanky student could only grit his teeth in pain as he endured the beatings he received from gang students.
'Why?'
'Why am I getting bullied? I didn't do anything wrong.'
Thoughts filled the mind of the lanky student as he tried to keep his mind off the pain he endured.
This was Derick Smith's first year in high school. Although he knew that Mint High School was notorious for being lawless, his parents couldn't afford to enroll him at a prestigious school.
While Derick lamented his weakness as well as poverty, he was confused as he no longer felt the assaults from his bullies. Instead, he heard the groans and screams of pain from his bullies!
Opening his eyes, he saw a tall and handsome student with long purple hair and jade-green eyes.
The handsome student easily lifted the burly student and slammed the burly student's body across the walls.
"Didn't I fucking say to bully those weaklings only when I am present?"
"How can I stop you from bullying others if you do it secretly? How can I have a reason to beat you up if you don't bully others in my presence?"
The handsome student who was none other than Keith McDowell was currently scolding the infamous gang leader of Mint High, Raymond Beach.
With every scolding that came out of Keith's mouth, Raymond's body would be slammed across the hallways.
After he beat up Raymond until he lost consciousness, Keith proceeded to do the same process to the other gang members.
As a result, three bodies piled up in the hallway. The perpetrator acted as if nothing happened while patting off the dust on his clothes. He even took out his portable mirror and comb to maintain the clean state of his purple hair!
"Purple Haze? Do you want to bully me as well? I don't have money!"
Derick asked in surprise after seeing Keith's appearance.
If Raymond was infamous for being the gang leader of Mint High, then Keith was so notorious that he received the alias "Purple Haze".
Various rumors were being passed on across Mint High. The rumor was none other than Purple Haze's notorious deeds.
The rumors said that every hospitalized student that was assaulted by Purple Haze was having a phobia of the color purple! Hence, Keith McDowell bore the alias of "Purple Haze".
"I don't need your money. But thanks for the entertainment! Thanks to you being bullied, I get to beat up scums like these pieces of shit. This Raymond Bitch better not bully students outside my presence or else I will beat him up every time he attends school!"
In contrast to Keith's usually calm and quiet demeanor, this time, he was unruly as he was letting off steam. Keith was bored so fighting with bullies such as Raymond often entertained him.
Placing his hand on Derick's shoulder, Keith continued.
"Remember to lure bullies such as Raymond to me. If you are in my presence, get bullied first so I can have a reason to beat them up. Otherwise, I will be no different from bullies like them."
"Understand?"
After asking Derick, Derick immediately nodded.
"Yes!"
Receiving Derick's reply, Keith no longer paid attention to him.
Leaving Derick to his own accord, Keith continued walking in the hallways.
'Hopefully, the book that fell from the sky would be worth the wait!'
