The trio walk outside and sees a crowd of rough looking hooligans who are up to no good, and their leader is none other than Josh, as the principal watches from a distance, Max walks out from the building first.
"Why are you here?" Max said.
"Why else would I be here?"
"TO GET PAY BACK FOR YOU EMBARRASSING ME INFRONT OF THE CLASS." Josh shouted.
"ITS NOT HI-" Max puts his hand up, signaling for Rose to stop.
"You two go back inside."
"What? Are you insane?! Why would we ever leave you?" Rose said with worry
Max looks back with sheer determination and hatred in his eyes.
"Let's trust Max. Let's go inside." Jaku said. Looking back at Max, nodding his head as an understanding.
Max nods his head back and Rose and Jaku retreat back into the building. Max begins to mentally prepare himself to fight,
"I can take all of them easily, but not at once. I guess I can test out some moves."
"You idiot. You told your only help to leave."
"I guess even when rats get a little bit of power, they think they can be the cat."
Josh snaps his fingers and the whole crowd of ruffians begin to move towards Max, equipped with pipes, bats, chains and wooden planks, they begin to tackle and chuckle. Slapping their weapons against their hand as to taunt Max but doesn't move.
"Hunters Authority."
Instantly a wave of purple aura sweep the front yard of the school, and a heavy pressure immediately followed, causing everyone in the vicinity to kneel, some falling on their stomach.
"What is this pressure?!" Jaku thought.
Max begins to walk towards Josh, looking down on the people on the ground as he walks past.
Ngh Josh groans, "What is this!? What did you do?"
"How does it feel? To be lesser?" Max said.
Josh's eyes widen, "I will NEVER be lesser than you! You freak!"
The pressure intensifies, as Max looks at Josh in disgust. Everybody on the field begins to pass out from the pressure.
"It's bold of you to say that given your position.."
"What do you want?" Josh said out of panic
"All I want you to do is apologize.."
"Never!"
Max increases the pressure, more and more people begin to pass out and the ground begins to break from the pressure.
"Apologize."
"I wont.."
Max once again increases the pressure, Josh falls to his stomach.
"Apologize."
Josh takes a second to think,
"Okay okay! I'm sorry! I apologize, please forgive me!" Josh pleads, and begins to cry.
"Okay." Max releases the pressure.
"Jaku! Rose! You can come out now!"
Jaku and Rose come our from the building, They had a feeling that what they were going to see was bad, but what they actually seen was way worse. They begin to question,
"Is this the same person from before?"
Jaku and Rose both start to catch up to Max and they begin their walk back to their house. While walking down the street, Jaku asks Max,
"Max, what happened?
"What do you mean?"
"How did you defeat them?"
"I have been gifted some power, i'm a lot stronger now."
"So you.. are you going to quit school?" Rose Asked.
"Maybe, it depends on how fast I grow."
"Oh. I see.." Jaku said.
"Well whatever you do well support you!" Rose said.
"Thanks Rose, and Jaku. You guys mean the world to me."
Rose begin to blush, she adverts her eyes to the ground.
"Max." She thought.
"Little do you know how long i've loved you.."
They arrive at their house and they say their goodbyes as they walk into their home. Max begins to walk in a di
"Now that i have this new power, I need money. I don't want to get a job. So.."
"I'll try raiding a Fracture."
"Wait, i need a Heroes license.. i guess i should go get tested."
Max goes to the same convenience store he went to yesterday, and asks the same question,
"Where are the fate testers?"
The employee behind the counter finally looks up at Max and notices his deadly aura,
"Woah.. They're in the back." He said mesmerized.
"Thanks."
Max grabs a Fate Tester and looks at the price,
"2.49.. That's all my money. Well, ill be able to get more later."
Max grabs the Fate Tester and purchases it. He walks into the Hero Lounge. The Hero Lounge is more buzzing than ever, Max walks up to the front desk and asks the receptionist,
"Is there a room open for Fate Testing?"
"Didn't i see you yesterday?"
"I think so, why? is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just, i feel something has drastically changed about you.." She said squinting her eyes
"Really? I didn't notice anything?" Max looks at himself, lifting up his arms in confusion.
"Well, I guess it's nothing." The receptionist shrugs her shoulders.
"Third room on the right." She points her finger to the door and goes back to her typing.
Max excitedly opens the Fate Tester and reveals the needle and vile,
"This is it! Once I get a color, I'll be able to get my license, and begin clearing gates." He thought.
He inserted the needle into his skin and drew blood, the red blood filled the needle slowly. once he was finished drawing blood he emptied the needle into the vile in anticipation, he placed the vile on the metal plate and the vile sunk into the machine *Thunk* the machine slowly processed the blood and then popped pit. *tink* *tink* the vile shook, The blood changed from red to pure white,
"Okay, now it should change any moment.."
Max waited a few seconds, and yet, nothing happened. He waited a little more, hoping that something had changed. He thought,
"Maybe it needs to a little shake..?"
Max picked the vile up and began to shake it gently, and still, nothing.
"No.. this cant be.. I.. I am Awakened now! I even used powers.."
Max fell to the floor in disbelief,
"This can't be real.." Max thought loosing hope.
Suddenly the vile started to shake subtly, Max looked up at the vile and began to stand up. The vile shook rapidly and violently, Max looked I'm awe as the vile began to turn a bright yellow. Max's eyes widened and he jumped up and down ecstatically,
"I'M AWAKENED.. HAHA.. I'M AWAKENED!" He shouted.
Max excitedly ran out of the room into the main hall yelling,
"IM AWAKENED! IM AWAKENED!"
On lookers began to look at Max oddly, whispering,
"Is he okay?"
"What's wrong with him?"
"He must be a low level."
However, Max didn't care he continued to jump up and down excitedly. Suddenly a wave of dark aura flooded the entire Heroes Lounge. for a second, everything stood still and shock filled the room, everyone began to whisper
A mysterious man approaches from the back room of the Heroes Lounge..
