Narrator's Pov:
Today's date:- 12 july, year 3024.
It's been 1000 years, since supernatural phenomena started to happen and alongside that came supernatural beings whom humans call Monsters.
Monsters, right after appearing started to rampage. They annihilated humanity to the brink of extinction.
No weapons humanity created were able to hurt them. After finally giving up, all countries decided to use their Trump card. The strongest weapon humanity had ever created and something they took pride in. The result was...Nothing.
Those nuclear weapons that can annihilate a whole region or even a state were nothing in front of those monsters. At the moment when humanity had lost all its hopes of survival, something unexpected happened.
An individual riding a Dragon came out of nowhere and killed almost 80% Monsters, saving humanity from extinction. After saving humanity he disappeared. No one knew where he went or even who he was. They tried to find him several times for several decades but nothing came out of it. But, to honour him, they gave a title to him which is-
"The First Hero Of Humanity—The Dragon Sage."
Later humanity learned that they can use supernatural powers such as- Healing, Superhuman Strength, Super Speed, Flying, Telekinesis, etc. They started to learn and master their newfound powers and protect themselves from monsters invasions.
They became so strong that one could destroy a whole mountain with a single punch and can lift several hundred thousand kilos/pounds. Even after being that strong, no one dared to call themselves strongest because everyone knew that they are nothing but insects compared to that individual.
After 1000 years of that incident, people started to forget about that and it only became a myth, a myth about an individual who saved humanity from extinction singlehandedly.
Unknown Pov:
It's been 1000 years since the day that disaster befell in the whole world. Humanity was on the verge of extinction when someone asked for my help. Even though I hate them for what they did to me, I still helped them because I owed a huge debt to that person. It was hard at first but they still managed to survive.
Now that it's been 1000 years but I haven't aged a single bit, rather I am growing stronger every passing day. What should I do now? There is nothing fun to do anymore?
"Hey ???? Let's go. It's getting late."
"Ok, I am coming."
Hmm let's see what the future holds for me....
♢♢♢
"Hey Mei, can I talk to you after school." I asked this question to Mei, the girl of my dreams. Today, I will definitely confess to her.
"Hey look, that trash is talking to her again. " One of my classmates said. "Yeah, how can someone be so stupid and shameless. " Another one of my classmates said.
I came back to my seat and sat down on it. After taking my seat, I put my head down and start to act like I am asleep.
"Heh, What do you expect from trash." Someone said. "Hey Mei, why do you still talk to that trash." One girl said to Mei.
"Hey, don't be like that. He is such a nice and polite guy. Why do you seem to hate him so much? " Mei asked the girl in front of her.
Seeing Mei take my side was already enough to make me plan our wedding and kids name. *Sigh* I hope she accepts me or else 'Kakarot' and 'Goku' won't get born.
Soon our teacher came and our class started. I can't wait for the classes to finish and meet Mei. I thought, not paying attention at class.
After The School Ended.
Finally, finally I am free from this hell. Why do they teach us something that we will never use in our life?
"So what if (a + b)² is a² + 2ab + b². It's not like I am going to use it in my life. School is just a place where parents get robbed and their kids get handjo- I mean beaten, yeah beaten."
I was grumbling while exiting the class and heading to the place where Mei will meet me. It's just one more right turn and I am there...
"Hey Mei-"
"ROAR!!"
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!" I heard a loud girlish scream and got scared.
"AHHHHH!!! MONSTER!!!" I screamed because I saw a monster in front of me.
'SMACK' 'SLAP' 'WHAM'
"Humph! How dare you call the beautiful me, a monster? And don't scream out of nowhere, I almost had a heart attack." And that's how I start my day.
I am Jack and the one who hit me was my sister Jane.
She has a very dark shade of black hair reaching her waist, has dark blue eyes and long eyelashes. She is a beautiful girl with a barbaric attitude with her height reaching just a little above 173 cm.
Unlike her, I have unnaturally white hair, which I keep short. I have red eyes and long white eyelashes. I might sound narcissistic but I am more handsome than your average guys, heh. I am 180 cm tall.
We also have an older brother named Jace. We all are siblings in name only but not by blood. This family took me in when I was eight years old and took care of me. Although I still miss my biological parents a bit, it's fine now.
My biological father, was a well known man among adventurers. His name was Nick Wolford. He was an A+ Rank Adventurer with a rare class of 'Magic-Swards man'. He was called the 'Silent blade' because no one could ever hear him move or approach, thus dying before even noticing him.
Just like him, his wife and my biological mother was an A+ Rank adventurer with a rare class of 'Sorcerer' with affinity for all the Elements. She was known as the 'Blaster' because of her chaotic and destructive personality. Her name was Jamie Wolford.
She alongside my father, were hailed as heroes in this Country but they both died in a 'Monster Outburst' and I became an orphan. Later my father's best friend and his wife took me in but they also died. It was the same day they took me in, they were murdered. Thus, I wasn't able to become an official member of this family.
After their death we became orphans but because we all were minors and didn't have any family left, so the government and charity started to support us until all three of us aren't adults.
Our elder brother is currently 20 years old, I am 17 and Jane is 16. As he is old enough to work, he started to do some contracted work. Whenever we asked him what he does, he always gets quiet so we stopped asking.
"Hey stop daydreaming and get ready, we don't have too much time. I don't want to be late on my first day of school." She said while playing with her hair.
Oh yeah, today is her first day in high school. She is in first year and I am a second year student.
"Yeah, yea-*Yawn*-h. I am coming, go and tell big bro to make omelette for me as well." I said to her while getting up from my bed
"Brother said, he is making chicken soup." She said while looking at me with a cheeky smile because it's her favourite dish.
"He is making omelette with bread and.....mayonnaise?" I said to make her smile disappear but i was disappointed because-
"No, he said he is making chicken soup with white pear sauce." She said with a grin. Looking down on me, huh? Then don't call me ruthless later.
"Bet?" I asked her and I was satisfied with the response.
"Bet. If I lose then I will do all of your chores for this week and if you lose then you will do mine. Agree?" She is so gonna regret it but who cares.
"Agreed." I agreed to her terms and we both went down to see the results. As we entered the dinning room we saw someone preparing the food.
"Hm~ hmm~mm~" That's my elder brother, Jace.
He has a very dark shade of black hair just like jane but his hair is short. By short I meant, shoulder length hair. He has sky-blue eyes and medium length eyelashes. He is just a little above 182 cm.
"Morning, bro!" I greeted him.
"Jack, good morning!" He responded in a calm and mature tone while turning around to face us. "Good morning to you too, Princess." He said to Jane, who was behind me.
"Good morning, big brother." She said in a polite and respectful manner.
"*Whistle*" I whistled in amazement. Where did that barbarian go? That's some huge change in attitude. "Ouch!" I yelped in surprise and pain. This girl is pinching my back from behind.
"Hmm? What was that?" Brother asked me confused.
"Ah, nothing. Nothing at all bro." He looked at me in suspicion. Sorry for lying to you bro.
"Okay, come and take your seats." He said while heading towards his own seat.
"Okay." She said and ran to her seat not before smacking my butt. This bitc-
"What happened Jack? Why are you still standing there?" Brother asked me while Jane was walking towards her seat with a perfect poker face.
"Nothing, nothing at all." I will remember this humiliation and return it ten times, just you wait, Jane. I vowed in my thoughts.
I then took my seat which was in front of Jane and right beside brother Jace. As I sat down, I looked towards Jane—as she was in front of me and what I saw satisfied me to the core.
She was making the face of someone who saw the whole world crumble. The despair in her eyes, Ah~ I will turn into a sadist at this rate but this satisfaction and happiness Ah~
"Br-brother, didn't you say last night that you will make chicken soup with white pear sauce? Why the change in menu?" She asked while still in despair.
"Ah, that's because we were out of ingredients. That's why I only made omelette and gave it with bread and mayonnaise. Sorry for not making it though." Brother apologized.
"Ah no, it's fine. I was just asking out of curiosity." She said finally accepting her defeat. I think I should lessen a bit of her punishment. "Wait, weren't you in charge of buying ingredients, Jack?"
Nah, scratch that. I will make you go through hell this whole week, just you wait, Jane darling~
"Ah, no. He did his work properly, it was my mistake. I gave all the chicken to our neighbours thinking that we still have some in the freezer." He said in a low voice.
"No. It wasn't your fault. You just did what anyone else would do." She said while smiling but I can see the despair in her eyes as clear as day.
"By the way, are you prepared for your first day?" Brother asked while eating his portion. "You have to make a good first impression for your whole year to go smoothly," He paused for a moment before raising his head and looking at me. "Help her in school." He smiled.
"Yes, I will," I said giving him the same smile. "By the way brother, how did you get that cut on your hand." I asked while pointing towards his left arm that was fully covered with his full sleeves hoodie. He flinched as soon as I asked this before covering his left hand.
"Wait, you are hurt?!" Jane got up from her seat and forcefully pulled brother's hand out before pulling the sleeves up and inspecting the bandaged area. "Why didn't you tell me? Does it hurt? What am I even asking, of course it will hurt. Ugh, let's go to the doc-" Jane was panicking after seeing that he was truly hurt.
"Calm down, princess. It's just a small scratch I got during work," he said while gently squeezing her shoulders. "There is nothing to worry about, okay?" He was now patting her head.
He's lying...
"Okay.." she said before going back to her seat and continuing her breakfast.
"Your senses are as good as always." Brother said while looking at me.
"Yeah, he was able to tell that you are making an omelette even from his room." Jane said before I could say anything. "He also sensed a danger yesterday-" Jane was saying something but I didn't pay any attention, as it was mostly useless ranting.
He diverted her attention towards my senses from his wound. Just what are you trying to hide brother?
"Jack, are you finished?" Jane asked while looking towards me.
"Yeah." I said before getting up and putting my dishes in the sink to wash later. "Let's go." I was about to make my way outside the kitchen when brother stopped us.
"Wait! Today I will take you both to school." He said while putting his dishes in the sink.
"Aren't you busy with work?" Jane asked what I wanted to ask him.
"Yeah, but because it's your big day, I am gonna drop you off today." He said happily. Jane, joining the happiness tackled him for a hug.
It's good that they are enjoying it but did they forget that we are being late?
"We will get late at this rate." Both of them shot a glare towards me before looking at the time.
"Oh, shoot! Quick, let's go!" Brother said in a hurry.
All three of us hurried outside. There, brother opened the garage, inside which his car was parked. It was a shining purple coloured semi-sports car.
"Let's go." He said and we all got inside the car.
It didn't even take twenty minutes to reach our destination. After reaching our school, Jane and I got out of the car.
"Goodbye brother, take care of yourself." I said while waving my hands followed by Jane doing the same. After waving us back, he took off towards the highway.
We also started to head inside our school gates. "Go to the left from that corner and then take a left, you will reach the auditorium. Now hurry up or you will be late." I said while pointing towards a corner.
"Yes, see you later. Don't cause any trouble!" She yelled before disappearing in the crowd of students.
*Sigh* How annoying...
"Truly, how annoying." A guy said from my left. "Was she your lil sis? She's hot." He said while whistling.
"Say that one more time and you will meet your creator," I glared at him. He's my classmate and one of my only few friends, Ron. "By the way, you are early today."
"*Sighs* Yeah, it's my lil bro's first day. My old man kicked me out with him." He said while winking at some girls.
Jerk, you better stay away from her.
"Let's go to our class." I said, already walking towards our class.
"Hey wait, wait!" He yelled while running towards me but I didn't pay him any mind and just kept walking. After walking for a while, we finally reached our classroom.
Hope I survive...
With that prayer, I opened the door and to my surprise the classroom was nearly empty. I quickly got inside and took my seat that was at the farthest back, left corner. Ron also took his seat, right in front of me.
After just a few minutes, other students started to enter the classroom and the classroom started to get noisy. How annoying.
After a few more minutes, our homeroom teacher entered the classroom and silenced everyone. "Okay class, today a batch of new students have entered our school. So, the school committee has decided that there will be a surprise physical test." As soon as she said that, several boos could be heard. "The main purpose of this test is to show those new students what they are in for and what they will learn for this whole year in this school. Do well and don't get too excited." She finished her speech with that.
"Say Jack, what do you think of this surprise test?" My desk neighbour and my other friend, Emily asked. Hearing her question, Ron also turned around and started to look at me.
"It's not really a surprise as they do it every year...but," I said while looking outside the window, particularly towards the training grounds. "They have prepared those training grounds... It's either gonna be a 1v1 or a fight between 2 selected teams." I said while looking back at them.
"How can you be so sure?" Our other friend, Nick asked.
"Look at the training grounds and those score boards idiot." It was Ron who answered his question.
"Oh," Nick said while looking out the window alongside Emily and a few others who heard our conversation. "But is it a 1v1 between random students or 1v1 of two specific students already chosen by the school committee?"
"Hmm I think the second one." Emily said and I nodded.
The chances of that happening are high.
[[Every student of the First year and the Second please go to the training grounds.
I repeat, every student of the First year and the Second please go to the training grounds.]]
The student council announced through the speakers.
"Already, huh?" Ron said while getting up. "Let's go my servants!" He yelled but got kicked at the back by Nick.
"Who's your servant, huh dumbass?" He said while chasing Ron who was already speeding off towards the exit.
"Idiots," Emily said while also getting up. "Let's go, lazy guy." She said.
"Yeah yeah." I got up and started to follow others. After just a few minutes, we all got to the training grounds. We were told to sit at the lower column of the arena.
All of us sat beside each other and started to inspect the situation. Soon the announcers—Two members of the Student council— got on stage.
"Hello everyone! I am a member of the Students Council that protects and manages the students in this academy. Today me and my cute junior are chosen as a representative from the Students Council to commentate on this event, so please bear with us. Without any further ado let's begin the explanation!" He said enthusiastically while signalling towards the other girl.
"We, The Student Council and the School Committee as well as the Teaching staff have selected two teams that will spar and show our cute little juniors what we learned in this academy. So, with a round of applause, please welcome the brave students who will entertain us today!" She said while signalling towards the two entry gates of the ring from which two teams consisting of second and third years came out.
Everyone started clapping for them. Soon they all stood atop the fighting arena ring with confidence.
"At one side, we have Team blue with five members consisting of a sturdy Tank, a beautiful Mage that can control Ice and Fire, a reliable Healer as a Support, an agile Marksman and lastly the leader, a Swordsman as a Damage dealer.
On the other side we have Team red with another sturdy Tank, a handsome Mage that can control Wind and Fire, a beautiful Swordsman as a Damage dealer, a sneaky Assassin, and their leader, a reliable Healer as a Support." She explained about the team formation. "Prepare yourself brave students as at the count of five, this match will begin." She said with enthusiasm.
At his words, both of the teams took their positions and prepared their weapons.
"Ok! Count count with me! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Begin!!" The male commentator announced.
At the ring:
As soon as he said that, the Assassin of Team red disappeared and appeared before the support of Team blue. He was about to strike her when the Mage created a Fire wall to separate them. He clicked his tongue before retreating to his team's location.
The Marksman of the Team blue took it as a chance to fire three consecutive arrows at the opponents Damage dealer, Support and the Mage. The Damage dealer and Support avoided the attacks but the Mage wasn't lucky enough and got a hit at his left arm.
"Tch Heal!" Support cast the heal on Mage while giving instructions to others. The Tank gave them cover while the Assassin and the Swordsman rushed at the enemy.
To stop their advances, the Swordsman and Marksman rushed at their selected opponents while the Mage gave them the cover and the Tank protected the Support.
"Will you look at that? Both of the teams are playing aggressive." The male commentator said, clearly amused.
"From the looks of it, Team red is using the famous 2'3 Battle tactic mainly used in smaller sized battles." The female commentator explained.
"And Team blue is using 3'2 Battle tactic mainly used in one enemy fight. Strange, if you ask me." The male commentator said.
"Truly. I would suggest using 4'1 Battle tactic in this scenario, as it can overwhelm the opponent team and bring a crushing victory." The female commentator said while focusing towards the Healer and the Tank of Team blue.
"Let's focus on the fight and see what they show us."
"Yeah!" With that, both of them quieted down.
At the ring, the fighters of both teams were engaged in a serious fight.
The Marksman of Team blue was fighting the Assassin of Team red with the support of the Mage while the Swordsman of both teams were engaged in a duel. It was easy to notice that the Assassin was getting overwhelmed because of fighting two opponents at the same time.
"Need help!" At his plea, the leader of Team red ordered the—just now healed Mage to assist him. He then ordered the Tank to go help the Swordsman.
"Now Team red has changed their tactic from 2'3 to 4'1 Battle tactic. It doesn't look good for Team blue. Will they change their tactic like Team red or will they stick with this tactic?" The male commentator asked his partner with interest.
"I'd suggest changing the tactic but from the looks of it, they don't plan on doing that." The girl commentator said.
And just like she said, Team blue was sticking with their tactic. The Healer was constantly healing the Swordsman and the Marksman while the Tank was protecting him. The Mage was supporting both the Marksman and the Swordsman in their fights.
Soon the Mage and the Tank of Team red joined the fight in hopes of overwhelming the Team blue while their leader was supporting them.
The Mage and Assassin of Team red were trying to corner the Marksman of the Team blue but every time she would either escape or the Mage would come to rescue her. During their short exchange earlier, the Marksman and Mage of Team blue had already exhausted the Assassin and the Mage who wasn't fully healed was having a hard time fighting and supporting the Assassin.
The Swordsman of both teams were engaged in a serious fight but when the Tank of Team red joined the fight and tried to use his sturdy shield and hammer strength to overpower the Leader of Team blue, the Mage would attack him and push him back while their Healer would heal the Swordsman.
After exchanging several strikes with the opponent Swordsman, the leader of Team blue started to show a bit of exhaustion and started to slow down on his attacks. The Swordsman of Team red took it as a chance to attack. She signalled the Tank to support her which he did perfectly and they both delivered a strong attack at the Swordsman of Team blue. It was a joint attack of a Mid-Horizontal slash and a shield tackle.
The power behind the attack was enough to knockout anyone. The attack landed and raised a wall of dust covering 1/5th of the ring. Thinking that they knocked out their opponent, both of them eased up a bit but at the next moment, the Tank of Team blue jumped out of the dust and tackled the opponent Tank and Swordsman. Caught off guard, none of both could do anything to stop this from happening and the Tank of Team blue successfully threw them off the ring, defeating them.
Soon the Swordsman of Team blue also came out of the dust. He had sustained some minor injuries but none of them were big enough to immobalise him. He had called the Tank at the last moment to support him while asking the Healer to use high level healing on himself.
"Wow! Did you see that? It was amazing!" The male commentator said surprised and excitedly.
"Truly! For a moment I thought the Leader of Team blue was a goner but the next moment, the Tank came out of the dust and defeated two of the most crucial members of a 4'5 Battle tactic attack team!" The female commentator said, mirroring her partner's enthusiasm.
"Yes, now I understand why the Tank didn't take part in this fight from the beginning. It's a nice show of teamwork and leadership. But from the looks of it, the Mage and Marksman of Team blue are not faring well." He said while looking towards the other side of the ring.
At the other side of the ring, the Assassin of the Team red was bleeding from his right arm and his left shoulder. It was a blessing from the Marksman of Team blue but in return, she also sustained extreme damages. Her right arm was seriously injured during her earlier exchange with the Assassin. Mages from both teams also looked exhausted but the one from Team red looked to be faring well compared to the Mage of Team blue, even though his arm was injured during the beginning of the match.
"And the Assassin of Team red is seriously injured too." The girl commentator said concerned.
"You know, I thin-" The male commentator was about to say something when someone interrupted him.
"We give up!" The leader of Team red yelled. "We do not wish to continue."
"Are you sure about that?" The commentator asked to confirm.
"Yes!" He said without hesitation. As soon as he said that, the leader of Team blue ordered his Healer to heal the Assassin of Team red, as he looked seriously injured.
"Okay! As you all heard, the leader of Team red has given up so by default Team blue has become the winner of this match." The female commentator announced.
"Thank you all for this spectacle show. We learned a lot from this match. Please give a huge applause to all of them!" The male commentator said happily.
Everyone started to clap and cheer for them. The whole arena erupted in cheers and words of admiration for all of them.
Soon the Infirmary team of the academy came and started to heal the students that were injured. At the ring, leaders of both teams came together and shook hands.
"Good fight. You lot completely overwhelmed me and my team. I learned a lot from you all today." The leader of Team red said.
"Good fight indeed. And we also learned a lot from you. You almost had me there to be honest, I was surprised and a bit scared." The leader of Team blue said while rubbing his neck.
"Haha I will take that as a compliment. I will train harder and next time it will be us that will win." The leader of Team red said with determination.
"Bring it on, we all will be waiting for you!" The leader of Team blue said smiling.
"—And with that, I announce the end of today's event. Please return to your classes and continue with your wonderful day. Have a nice day everyone!"
