Chapter 1 - The Weakest of them All.

"…Again and Again….thats all my life ever was….a nonstop cycle of things…always having to happen again and again and again.."

footsteps Echo throughout the Alleyway as 18 Year old Ashiguro Kumazaki walks through it trying to get to a local convenience store.

"…all i ever do is relive the same thing….its getting tiring.."

in the distance he hears a Scream.it was a Young Lady that doesnt look that far from his age being surronded by 2 armed masked figures.

"…P-PLEASE DONT HURT ME!…" she cried out.

"…SHUT IT!…" the tall one said.he proceeded to slam her against the wall hitting her head causing it to bleed.she slipped down the wall sitting there.

"…Now listen here Bitch i said give me all your money OR DIE!…"

said the short man kicking her in the face hard causing her to fall back into the wall as blood gushed down her face.

"..i-…i already told you..i have nothing…"

"..OH YOU B!-…"

"…HEY!.." someone yelled catching the two robbers off guard.

"…who the hell are you?.."

muttered the tall one.

"…well…i suppose im not a hero nor a villain…and neither do i have time to deal with this bull shit right now but…i have nothing better to do so…"

"…And?…"

"…unfortunately i cant let this go unseen…"

he said as he quickly swiped his arm.

ina split second blood splashed everywhere.on the walls.on the lady. and on Ashiguro.

The girl looks at the cold ground shocked.her eyes widening more as she sees red liquid come from between her legs. she turns around to see two dismembered upperhalfs of the robbers bodies.

she looks up at their legs to find nothing but bones and guts and blood.

she slowly twitches her head overr to ashiguro in fear.as she then letted out a loud scream.

"…Awh man…its everywhere!.."

said Ashiguro wiping off his clothes the best he could.

"..W-Who are you?…"

"..Huh?…"

"…WHO THE HELL YOU!…"

cried the blonde lady who was now soaked in the blood of the men like how Ashiguro is too.

"…Oh….Who am i?…"

Ashiguro smirked mischievously or ina concerning way.

"..i am the man whos worser then death itself…i am a Vessel of one of the 11 Essences….The Essence of RAGE….that even is called wrath sometimes..Ashiguro…Kumazaki…"

"..At your service.."

he said smiling creepily at her while he points his index finger up.

his eyes…soulless…emotionless…his grin…evil…mischievous.

the entire alleyway was covered in blood…the walls had deep cut marks in them from Ashiguro's sudden slash attack….they went on for a mile.many cars slashed.light poles cutted in half and so on…whatever it is..it wasnt normal…

—-September 17th,2015—-

—3 years ago—-

—2:45 PM—

"…weak….i was always called weak…"

thought 15 year old Ashiguro Kumazaki as he was going down his schools hallway.

"….i was always looked down upon and bullied by others…for being so damn weak…the only thing that kept me going was my sister my parents and my best friend,Tashi…"

Memories would flow through Ashiguros mind.

"..if it wasnt thanks to them…i would have killed myself back then….im grateful their there for a weakling like me…"

he would get into a single file line that was leading to a spare room that was turned into a interview room for those whos trying to get into the local magic school.Alfards Academy..or Alf's for Short.they partnered with his Middle school to interview the 8th Grade students to see who would get into the Academy.

After a long while Ashiguro got into the room.

"…Hello!…Take a Seat!.."

said the suited man that was sitting at a table that was in the back of the middle of the room.

"…Whats your Name sir?…"

Asked the Man.

"…A-Ashiguro….Ashiguro Kumazaki…"

"… Mr Kumazaki…"

said the man writing his name on the clipboard.

"..Yes.."

said Ashiguro Nodding.

"…Mr Kumazaki what brings you here?…"

"…Well…i always wanted to learn magic so i can be a hero for people and help them!…i-..it was my dream ever since i was little.."

the man nodded,he writes down on his clipboard again before looking back at Ashiguro.

"…Whats your Technique?…"

"…its not much but i can Use a basic Wind Style technique…"

"….mhm…..do you have any support abilities or?…"

"…not that i know of no…"

"…Okay…and how well are you with your technique?…"

"…im not that great yet but im willing to learn and grow.."

"…okay okay…we like ourselves a determined spirit…."

said the man again as he writes down more onto the clipboard.

"..it also seems here Mr Kumazaki that your Physical Stats arent that great…"

Ashiguro looked down a bit…ina ashamed manner and nodded.

"..thats nothing to worry about though….its not like you cant get stronger!…"

"…r-right…"

—after awhile of talking—

"..Alright Mr Kumazaki we will mail you our response thank you for coming out today!…"

"…y-you too sir!…"

said ashiguro bowing as he then left the room.

Ashiguro walked down the hallways again thinking to himself not minding his surroundings. he always pushed people away isolating himself from then…he was like a loner or a shut in…

"..ASHIGURO!…"

yelled a boy ona bench waving at him.he had brown short hair,blue eyes,headphones around his neck,their school uniform and a Sandwitch and his phone.

"…O-Oh!..h-hey Tashi.."

Said Ashiguro waving Nervously at him.

"..Come sit with me Bro!…i wanna hear about how well your interview went!.."

"..R-Right.."

said Ashiguro walking up to the bench and sitting next to him.

earlier Tashi would have been informed by Ashiguro about his idea of trying out for the new Magic Academy in the Area.the best of the best is there training and learning everyday.it was Ashiguro's ideal dream to become a Hero when he was younger.of course there is no heros or villian system there he just wanted to save people because he thought it would be cool ..since people before him did and were called heros.

essentially the Academy is for the Gifted youth people who have special abilities.to help them control and use them.of course it also has basic school subjects taught as well.

a ideal dream he shared with his mother as they stargazed one night when he was 7 years old.

"..Sooo Ashiguro how did it go?!!.."

Asked Tashi Happily.

"..Well…" Ashiguro would pause for a moment.

"…to be p-precise…i havent really been accepted nor denied…ill just have to wait for them to contact me back about it.."

Tashi's expression would soften abit as he looked at Ashiguro.

"…Oh….i-…Ashiguro…"

"…Yeah?.."

"…Im sorry to hear that dude.."

"..Its okay."

"..Dont worry…im sure you can do it…im sure you can make it into the academy…just dont give up okay?…"

"..r-right.."

Tashi would smile and Wrap his Arm around Ahsiguro's Shoulder.

"..Wh-Wha-?!.."

"..Dont Worry bro im here for you no matter what!!…"

—-September 17,2015—

—-3:45 PM—

"…Alright that is all..Class dismissed.."

bells would ring…people would walk and talk all throughout the hallways..lockers were opened and shutted.girls and boys were talking and messing around..it was a normal afternoon of course.

Ashiguro would walk throughout the school and out through the back going his usual route to his small little house.

he never fits in at his school,he would always just stay by himself and ignore people…atleast people ignore him too anyways. he was like a side background character in everyones life. a extra..someone whos easy to dispose and replace.

what doesnt help though is the fact exactly not really everyone ignores him.Jumo Nagasaki,the man who everyone is either with or against.hes the strongest and the best in the entire school..and when you match the strongest with the weakest..you would have to pray they get along.

Ashiguro is indeed the weakest in his school..making him the easiest target for Nagasaki.

Breaking all his fingers…throwing him off a balcony etc etc…he had been hospitalized on numerous occasions.

Everyone loves Nagasaki…except for the ones Nagasaki Hates,because their the ones who sees the worse of him.

After a long walk Ashiguro would make it to his House.

He'd open the door and walked inside being greeted by his mother.

—6:00 PM—-

—later that evening—

Ashiguro Would walk into the front room to find his Little Sister,Aniko Kumazaki,Sitting on the couch Eating up Ice Cream staring at the television.

She turned to him and grinned mischievously.

"..Oh Hey Ashi!!~~~~~…"

"..Oh god..not again.."

"…Oh Come on whats wrong cant handle your little sisters company?~…"

"..You always Mess with me every damn time nowdays!…im sick of it!.."

"..Oh really?!!..well your just a big soft nerd and!-…well i dont exactly know…"

"…Anyways….Wheres Mom and Dad?.."

Aniko kicked back in her seat again.

"..Welllll….they went to the local shopping district to go run some errands…they should be back ina hour or less.."

"..Alright.."

said Ashiguro as he grabbed a quick snack from the refrigerator and sat down next to her on the couch.

they would flip through the row of channels until the tv flashed with a EAS alarm.

"…Brooo can you turn it offff.."

said aniko annoyed as she scrolled through her phone.

as Ashiguro looked at the screen to turn it off his eyes widened in horror.

"…A-A-…..Aniko…"

"..huh.."

"…wait…isnt that the-…"

her eyes widened in realization..

—BOOM—

Aniko would find herself laying on the floor.as she looked around infront of her she was terrified.

the entire side area of the house was torn off.

she could see a giant crator in the ground like a canyon was formed out of the neighborhood.

meanwhile for Ashiguro..

he was laying on the ground in the deep canyon created by whatever that was.

rubble and blood was everywhere.

he was badly injured. his right shoulder got ripped off leaving a circle shape cut in his torso like a apple.it was fatal.

he was on his last breath..he thought to himself it cant end like this…he cant leave aniko and tashi alone here…he couldn't do anything though..

After all he was..

The Weakest of them all.
