KENAN
On my way to homeroom I was joined on the walk by Bryan and Natalie. They were both silent until we got to homeroom and I was thankful for that because any other questioning gaze or interrogation and i might break. We get to the room and Prince asshole and Princess suck up were in class already.
We walk in and take our seats, Bryan starts telling us about the latest news in the kingdom and Natalie spent half of the time making fun of him and I spent the whole time laughing. It was nice being around friends and for the first time I knew I was in a place where I fit in. Even though we were Outcasts to the school students we have each others back anytime. The whole room goes dark and Karl arrives. What a drama king
"Good morning class, did we have a blissful night?" he asks and we all reply with nods "good to hear, today we will be doing something we were unable to do yesterday. You will all get up and introduce yourself, telling us your name, powers, and your best ability" he says and I roll my eyes.
Do we still need any introduction after all the drama that has been seen yesterday? I know Karl has a sinister intention behind this introduction but I would play along and watch it play out "Let's start with the Alpha of the class" he says and Prince Asshole stands up. Can this guy just take a break from embarrassing himself.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you sir but we have no Alpha because he has been challenged sir. I would advise we wait till after the duel before calling anyone with that tag in order to reduce shame and heartbreak at some end" he says trying to insult me but Karl laughs.
"Well your advice is not taken and the last time I checked I am the instructor of this class and once an Alpha was chosen by me I will call him my Alpha until another person becomes the Alpha." He replies and Prince Asshole goes red. Karl faces him and continues "a little advice young man, win the duel before speaking in that manner, it makes your fall worse" Karl says and he sits in shame and I smirk. Good for him "Mr Kleitin, the floor is yours" he says and I get up swelling with pride.
"My name is Kenan Kleitin. I am a norm and I am a dark element mage. I am honoured to be your Alpha and i promise to do everything in my power to not only promote equality, unity and development in this Class but in the school at large. I cannot do this alone so i will need the help of each and every one of you to make all those reality. I am not superb at anything but a learner ready to learn from all of you. Thank you" I say introducing myself and if Prince Asshole goes any redder he might start looking like he is bleeding and i could see the sly smirk of satisfaction on Karl's face as I take my seat. Bryan went next as he was seated beside me.
"My name is Bryan Healfard. I am the first grandchild of the Healfard dynasty and I am a master spirit caster-magician mage. I am honoured to be a member of this class and to be under this great leadership and I promise to put in all my quota in making this class the greatest the world has ever seen under the leadership of Alpha Kleitin." He says and i could see the underlying insult in the sentence.
Way to go Bryan I never knew you had it in you. I look to Karl to see any reaction from him but he only had his usual sly smirk on his face. He was trying to prove emotionless but i knew deep down in him he was happy and proud of his son. The next person had the most hilarious introduction. Everyone was waiting in silence for her as she took her time to stand.
"This is dumb but I guess I have no choice but to do it. The name is Natalie DeBlain and most people already know all about my family so I don't think we need any more stories on that. I'm a master soul undead-caster mage. I promise loyalty to whoever treats me like a person and not just any shitty asshole. I guess that will be all" she replies sarcasm lacing her whole statement and I couldn't but chuckle at her nonchalant attitude. This girl just doesn't give a damn about anything does she?
"Miss DeBlain always the hilarious one" Karl replies and the introduction continues. The other girl stands up next and from how she stood up you could smell the pride on her. She was beautiful but she had a very ugly and rotten attitude if you would ask me.
"My name is Maria Flint. The next in line to the Flint Royal family and the next King's adviser. Like most of you already know my family is next in line to the throne and my father is the next most important person in this kingdom after the king's family. I am a master life caster-undead mage and the most powerful caster the world has ever seen.
I come from a long line of powerful casters and we only bow to those more powerful than us and I don't think this Alpha of yours is even nearly as powerful as I am" she says and I shake my head, Bryan glares her with disgust and Natalie rolls her eyes. I could even see the look of disgust on Karl's face before he replaces it quickly with his usual smirk. Now if you think that was an egoistic introduction wait till you see Prince Asshole's own. He stood up from his seat taking enough time that it will take an old man to stand.
"My name is crown prince Rodriguez Clay." He says and I cut in
"You forgot Prudence" I say and everyone burst into laughter. Even Karl chuckles. He goes red in anger and Karl speaks.
"Now now kids let's let young prudence here speak" he says and we all go on another round of laughter before Karl glares us and the whole class goes quiet. Prince Asshole takes deep breaths before speaking again.
"I am the next in line to the throne and the first son of the king. Giving that I am a direct descendant of the most powerful of all the gods themselves it proves that true power runs in my bloodline and I am the most powerful student the school has and will ever record. Being the child of a direct descendant and a powerful indirect descendant I am the first ever recorded hybrid mage in this school" he says and I and Karl laugh at that.
What a proud asshat he is, he looks at us trying to find out the reason we laughed but the looks we gave him said what we didn't and he continues "I am a master life shifter-caster mage. That is the main reason why I cannot allow any lowly person be my Alpha because it will reduce the power of the class and also reduce my chances of us being the most powerful pack in the world in the future. You all should be grateful to be in the same class as me." He says ending the introduction and I just wished I could just tell him my powers and see the smug smirk wash off his face.
Karl gives me a glare and I know he just read my mind and I nod in response. Karl finally ends the class as the bell rings and we all head to our different classes. Being the Outcast Class members we were not in the same elemental class as all other masters in the school. We had our own building so we each had our own class for personal training.
The first class was fire elemental control and in this one unlike yesterday I had to do the class without accessing my magic due to the amount of danger it can cause the school. The teacher went round telling me all about fire and then I was asked to manipulate a fireball from a bowl of fire.
According to the lecturer everyone in my class did it in an instant and even went beyond by creating dozens of fireballs and playing with it. I was the only one who has ever left with no spark at all to even call my own. Even people of lower pack all created fireballs but I couldn't do anything because I didn't want to burn the whole class.
Yesterday on my way to my dorm I was thinking about what caused the outburst and I realised that I wanted to manipulate air but I was pumping too much mana into it so it went out of control. If I should do it here I might set the whole school on fire because there might be no one to bring me back to my senses this time.
Prof Lucius came around and tried to console me but the moment the bell rings I pick up my stuffs and walk out of the class not even giving him the chance. The next class was language and here we were studying the language of the gods. We did a lot of Zuleim writing and I loved the class because it helped me even understand some of the spells we did in spell casting.
The surprising thing about the class was the fact that the moment Prof Dunsit started speaking Zuleim it was like I have been speaking the language since birth. Not only did I understand it clearly I was speaking it fluently and it made me the best student in the class.
Princess Suck up also understood the language so she came to the class prepared to show off but realising I speak and understand the language even better than she does just made her hate me the more. At the end of the class I walk out fulfilled and happy I made an impact in a class for the first time.
The other classes that day were all okay at the least. English being my favourite subject was my best class of the day, then I had lunch with my friends and we spent the whole time making fun of Bryan and Simeon. They sure find a way to just become the joke of the day. Water elemental control was also the same as fire and I could just see what will happen if I even try. At this point I could feel the power brewing under my skin to be let out so it took extra effort not to give into it.
Then we had spells, potions and I went there to only write down all the spells that was taught. Most people casted as easy as they breathe but the power in me is too dangerous to be allowed out yet. I enjoyed self defence and weaponry the most because I was able to release all my pent up frustration as we trained.
If the training in the village was hard this one was worse. We started with exercises to stretch our bodies before moving into the training proper. We started with hand to hand combat before moving to weaponry. Later on I was made to fight with the Prof and he whooped my ass well before calling the class over. Just as I was leaving my class I hear a voice in my head.
It was Karl telling me to meet him in his office again for training. I walk into the office and he starts by teaching me how to open the secret room. It was hard but after about 25 tries I was finally able to open the room instantly. I walk in and he comes in after me.
"Was that even necessary" I ask a little frustrated with the whole open the door shit and he chuckles. Seriously I'm saying something annoying me and he is laughing.
"I just can't help how cute you look when frustrated. I won't be in the school always and I want to be sure you would have a place to train without any disturbance from outsider. Now let us go back to the training" He replies and I nod in response, I close my eyes and call on my mana and unlike before it responds instantly as I could feel the magic round my body awaken.
I focus on controlling it and remain like that. After about 15 mins the pull comes again and this time it was lesser but still strong as usual. I try the hardest best to control it but later on I give in and the power intoxicates me. I am pulled out of the trance and once I finally open my eyes I realise the whole room was filled with water. I was breathing under water as the water touches the ceiling. Where did the water come from anywhere. I see Karl behind me and as he waves his hands all the water disappears into thin air.
"You still have a long way to go but I think you are making progress, now continue training" he says and I continue with the training. I remain there for hours creating storms, raising the earth, flooding the room and even burning the whole room and it was like the place was spelled. It repaired itself immediately reducing my worries and leaving me to focus on my control.
Once it was 2:00am Karl comes in and tells me to leave in order to get some rest for the next day. Unlike the night before I felt energized so I stay outside for like 2 more hours training my fighting skills before heading to my room. I sleep off immediately and I wake up an hour later well rested. I had noticed some changes in my body system but the fact that I only need an hour to gain all my strength back is on another level.
I also soon realise that my senses have heightened and with enough training I should be able to use them to sense things miles away. I take a run and head back to my room to get ready for my classes and I was even able to do that as quick as 5 minutes. The rest of my week went the same with me attending classes that I either had to hide my power or lie to my friends.
The worst part of my day was the hate behaviours from Prince Asshole and Princess suck up. It even became harder to lie to my friends because they had started to notice my strange behaviour and outings and because of my training I have been spending less time with them.
We only see during breakfast and lunch because I skip dinner for training everyday and they are not happy with it. On Thursday when I was done with self defence and weaponry and I was heading to the admin building for my training again I was stopped by my friends who stood in the middle of the road. Nik, Lei and Meon all had long faces and I know the reason.
I don't mean to do this but it is the only thing I can do at this point to protect them. I don't want anyone ending up imprisoned or worse dead all because of me. I know my friends can do anything for me and that is exactly why I am scared because they won't ever back down even if it will take their life. Lei being the confident one is the one who speaks up.
"What is wrong with you and why are you hiding things from us?" she asks and I was in a corner here, I don't want to tell them lies anymore but I cannot tell them the truth
"Nothing is wrong with me and how would you say I'm hiding anything from you. You guys know how we have been from childhood" I say in a very shaky voice just hoping I could convince them
"So why aren't you going to the dorm and headed the other way?" Nik asks and the question puts me in a tight spot
"I have to do something with Ka.., Prof Healfard so I'm headed to the admin building" I reply trying my hardest best to leave out everything about powers
"And what is that thing that no one else in the school can do for the principal that just met you a few days ago. I'm worried about you, i have noticed you spend a lot of time at the admin buildong since you came to this school" Lei says clearly worried and I could feel my resolve break but I have to stay strong if I want to achieve my goal.
"It has to do with my position as Alpha so you don't have to be worried" I say trying to give them a reasonable reason as I walk around them "I have to go now or I'll be late and I won't want to keep the Prof waiting" I say and run in the direction of the building and I don't stop until I arrive at his office. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in, that was a close one. I just can't keep living like this, the look on their face means they know something is up and knowing my friends they won't rest until they get to the bottom of it.
I just hope I'm strong enough to protect them by the time they find out.
