“I would like an order of black coffee with a muffin by the side if you don't mind.” “Coming right up!" Rex had not always been a student at the prestigious Jared magic University, he had been a regular guy that only ever came out of his apartment to visit his favourite coffee shop and then crawl right back in like a shell. Until something happened that totally changed his life. It had been a totally uneventful Thursday afternoon and he had come to the shop at a time that you will show had fewer customers so he would not have to bother with interacting with too many people or standing in a long line and just get his coffee and be going his way. But then it seems like life had other things in store for him. After he made his order instead of the strong scent of black coffee reaching him it was the toxic smell of smoke that got to him first. The coffee shop was on fire. He didn't know how the fire started. All he knew was that it immediately engulfed the entire shop without any m

“Hey isn't that fireball freak?!"Rex clenched the books in his hand as the two students in his year were coming from behind and they were openly making fun of him pretending to be whispering even though he could hear them very well.” That's definitely him I bet he's going to practice that stupid fireball enchantment of his... Doesn't he ever get tired?"They both chuckled but when they noticed that he wasn't giving them any attention they decided to bother him even more walking up to your side.“Hey, buddy classes already ended for the day where are you rushing off to?"One of them, a tall male with red hair, said placing his elbow on Rex's shoulder, Rex immediately stopped.”I'm going to train...so do you mind taking your hand off my shoulder?"He then gave him an icy look.“You know...while it's still not roasted yet,”The redhead immediately took his hand and then signalled his friend.“Yeah, we have the stuff to do anyway later...”As they had gotten a little farther from him th

"So you are one of the reasons that I have been stuck in a rut all this time?" Rex said angrily to the voice clenching his fist as he works to a more secluded area of the library so nobody was with him while he was having a conversation seemingly with himself. "Do you know how many enchantments that people in my own year have probably learnt huh ?" He asked them with his stern voice as he raked his fingers through his hair. "About 4 to 5 ..." The voice said almost not currently and the young man rested his back against the wall taking a deep breath as he held up all of his fingers. "In an entire year, I've only learnt one enchantment ..." "That's absolutely true." "I became the laughingstock of my entire school." "That is also correct." Rex felt like he was going to explode in the next second but he took some deep breaths trying to calm himself down. "So this is just how your system works ... who cares that I had to go through all of this?" He pulled out one of the chairs t

The next morning, he woke up with a wide smile on his face, to the point that it seemed as if he was trying to touch his ears with the corner of his lips. His roommates were particularly curious about what had gotten him so cheerful that early in the morning when he had practically stumped into the room the evening before, complaining about a class that had been scheduled out of the blue. But since he was an outcast in the room there was no one that was going to ask him why he was so cheerful that morning, so they did the usual off taunting him, but he did not even spare them a single glance and just got ready for his first lecture that day. The person that will be teaching them that morning was the same professor that had embarrassed him the day before, this left his roommates even more confused as to why he was excited about that. but Rex was not able to make it to the class before he noticed that some people were following him from behind. When he stood waiting for them to pass,

The bullies were surprised to approach them in the hallway and they were almost tempted to rub their eyes to make sure that they were not seeing an illusion because if they weren't they would not understand why she was so furious as she was marching towards them."Lyra?" one of the bullies called her name when she was finally in front of them, Lyra was the second most popular student in her first year and after that, but unlike Rex, she remained popular on a positive note because she excelled in all her classes though she was not as advanced as Rex was with his fire skill she was one of the leading students in his year.She had never once looked his way before Rex thought in his mind as she walked towards them."Don't you guys ever get tired of picking on Rex, he didn't even do anything to you!"she said to the bullies as she whipped back her brown hair that had golden highlights."Come on, Lyra, are you sure that you saw us right?"said the only girl among the bullies who had always
