First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

"Hey, Isiah…the principal had already published the ranking for this month, guess who is last…again !"One of his classmates said.

Samuel Laucarious was his name, for a fifteen years old his body was small compared to others his age, his body resembled a tan years old kid, but his bad treats were bigger than his height for sure.

Growing up he was the first person to tell him the story about Lucas, he hit him with the facts and even started to manipulate everyone around him.

He was the son of a high-ranked mage, who was the leader of the expedition group that explored the world beyond, and for that, he was well recognized, respected, and well treated.

On top of that, he was in high ranks too, he mastered alchemy and botany at a young age, and even the magic program wasn't that hard for him.

Samuel looked down on him always, bullied him, manipulated everyone around him, and for that, they fought a lot.

Isiah planned to keep his calm most of the time, but with Samuel around, he always felt furious at his bullying.

Detention was his punishment, but he didn't care as long as he caused him some pain for his awful actions.

Samuel had several manipulation techniques but the worst of them was using his small-shaped body to gain the empathy of his friends to defend him.

He was wicked indeed because if he used magic he could have caused Isiah a lot of pain and injuries, but he didn't do that, he just relied on his physical strength so that Isiah would be punished eventually.

Talking about the ranking was a triggering point and he always used it to make him upset. Isiah was already in a messed up situation because of what happened the other night with his parents, and instead of keeping calm he just stood in front of everyone and walked toward him fastly to fight with him again.

Samuel had an evil smile on his face as if he was challenging him to hit him, so Isiah ground his teeth and collected his fist, and leaned towards him after grabbing him by his throat and punching his cheek.

Isiah was gasping for air at the moment when Samuel just wiped the blood on his lips with his sleeve while keeping that hideous smile on his face.

To Samuel everything was clear, he had figured out how to trigger him, and he was not going to stop doing that

Seeing what happened, their classmates gathered around them to split them up, one of them even punched Isiah to push him away from Samuel.

The result of that was getting detention and writing an apology letter to Samuel, with a notice to his parents.

This happened a lot to the point where he knew all the procedures before he did anything.

One time they even wanted to expel him, but one teacher stood by his side and prevented that from happening.

The school Isiah was attending was the only educational constitution in the first region, kids from all districts came to the first district where Isiah lives to study, it was fancy because it was not built by the people from Delwias island but by higher regions.

Somehow the system cared about education, bright minds always leveled up and served there. It was a good investment for them and for the people who ascend too.

From the outside, the Eclouxerra institution of magic looked like an ancient, fancy, big castle with a lot of classes that held students from the age of six to the age of 16.

There were a lot of large classes for different uses and subjects, places for extracurricular activities too, distributed on four huge floors.

A huge gate with broad metal doors, it was the only gate there and the first day Isiah saw it, he felt like he was entering a castle from an old movie.

Plain fields of grass cover most of the fields outside of the school, adding to its aesthetics. This institution has stood the test of time and despite knowing some very rough times, it still looked like it will do so for many years to come.

After classes Isiah headed to detention on his own, he wasn't even bothered by it because he got used to it over the years.

There, sitting the only teacher that cared enough about him to spend this time with him.

He didn't even know why she was treating him differently from her colleagues, she looked upset when their eyes met.

"Isiah Duncan, again… you fail to contain your anger and cause trouble, the problem is I know that you are not even the type to act like this"

Isiah sat on the chair in front of her bureau and rested his head on the table.

" They are not going to accept this behavior forever, you know?"

Isiah ignored her completely, so she tapped her index on her bureau to capture his attention.

After the third tap, Isiah raised his head from the surface of his bureau and said :"Just pretend that I am not here, I will be quiet, just don't lecture me like you really care, okay miss Adelita".

Adelita looked at him very surprised by his calm voice then said:"Isiah help me here, I really want to help you get your chance to learn magic but with this attitude of yours, your just giving them what they want "

"Why!"

" What? "

"Why are you trying to help me miss Adelita? You are a teacher,, so… you must know about what my brother did, he basically opened hell gates on this world…you…you know that for sure ..so..s…so why are behaving this way ". Isiah's face was completely terrified of how much he spoke, this was the first time he talked to a stranger that much and this long.

Miss Adelita was in her thirties, a beautiful girl with dreamy eyes and pink curly hair that gently hung over her shoulders.

There was something alluring about her, perhaps it was the wave of joy she spreads around her, or perhaps it was simply her sensitivity.

Everyone loved her, her students respected her so much and her colleagues were divided, females envied her for her looks and male admired her for that .

Adelita smiled at Isiah and said :"I know everything, no need to repeat it for me"

"Then , why ?"Isiah said firmly.

" I don't like that look on your face …for a start !"
