2024-10-29 19:42:56One thing is to commit a crime and another thing is to not be caught, especially when one is not up to the task.
Max upon hearing the voice froze, his mind wandered to many possibilities of being caught by different people. It could either be a teacher and hell, if it were to be one it could only mean one thing — Expulsion! And he wasn't ready for that not even when he hadn't achieved anything yet.
Another possibility is that it could one of the strong ability students, students like Nat who bully and torture the likes of him. It would not be a dead road but he knew he was going to pay a heavy price.
Fear gripped his heart, sweats filled his forehead, his chest kept rising and he dared not turn around until the voice spoke again.
"Kid, you will surely die of a high BP!" The voice said and let out a chuckle, walking to the front."You!" Max blurted out while pointing at the man, who was none other than the Demon lord. Max wanted to talk further but he kept quiet and took down his hand, "How could you do a thing like that?" he asked instead.
"I came to pay you a visit in your room but you weren't in so I opted to search for you. I didn't know you would be so busy and careless at the same time, look there!" The Demon said and pointed to some meters away from where they were standing. There on the ground were the four boys from earlier, lying motionless.
"Th-they are dead?" Asked Max totally shocked to see the four boys lying on the ground like dead people."No, they are not dead but hey, aren't you supposed to be thankful to me? If not for my intervention, you would have been the one lying like that or even completely dead, who knows!" The Demon lord replied.
Knowing that they weren't dead, Max relaxed a bit and turned to face the Demon Lord. "Thank you for saving my life again," he said with an awkward smile.
"It's alright kid, I did what I should do. Besides, I wouldn't want anything to happen to my successor, do you understand?"
"We should leave here immediately or I'll be caught," Max said, without replying to what the Demon Lord said. The demon lord nodded and stood close to Max, he waved his hand and they disappeared from the place.
Just as they had disappeared, a group of students and some teachers ran into the building and rushed to the motionless Nat.
"Sir, is he still alive?" A student asked as one of the teachers was inspecting Nat's body.
"Luckily he is, but he has lost a lot of blood. We need to take him to the school clinic with immediate effect," the teacher replied and immediately called the other teachers who assisted him and carried Nat's body out of the place.
"You heard him yell, but how come you didn't know what happened to him and who did this to him?" A female student asked the other girl close to her.
"I don't know, I was passing by when I heard someone scream. I only rushed to inform you guys without coming to check what was happening,", the girl replied, then after a while, she continued, " Besides, I kind of saw someone that looked like that school scumbag."
"You mean Max?" Her friend asked with a shocked yet disbelief look on her face.
"I don't know if it was him, I just said I saw someone that looked like him. Might not be him because he can't do something like this, not in his current state," the girl replied and her friend was silent, she thought of the possibility of Max putting Nat in his current condition.
"Come let's go, Max can't do a thing like this," the girl after thinking for a while, shook off the thought from her head and dragged her friend out of the place.
Meanwhile, back inside Max's house, the demon Lord was leisurely sitting on the bed with a cup of red liquid substance in his hand. Max was long tired of staring at the cup and decided to know what is inside.
"Hey, what is that stuff...in the cup?"
"Oh, this? I bet you would not want to know," the demon Lord replied with a wry smile.
"Bet me," Max replied with a smirk on his lips. He was already buried in curiosity and wanted to know what the demon was taken and why it was coloured red."This is blood," the demon Lord said and sipped from it.
"Blood?" Max asked. He would be lying if he
wasn't surprised, but hey, it's a demon lord!"Well, that should be normal, I guess....but don't go drinking my blood in the future, besides, I'm too skinny."
The demon Lord could not hide the astonishment on his face as he stared at the little human, if it were to be someone else, he knew how the person would be reacting by now but surprisingly, his little human boy was calm and even made a joke out of it. "I know for sure that you'll be a successful leader just like me in the future," he mumbled to himself that Max wasn't able to hear him."What did you say?" Max inquired but didn't receive any reply from the demon Lord then he sighed and kept silent.
"What is that look of fear on your face kid?" the demon Lord asked while staring at Max's sudden change of mood.
"I suddenly remembered those four students, they saw me using the stick on Nat, wouldn't that be a problem for me?" Max asked. From what the demon Lord said, they are not dead. Rather, they are just unconscious and according to his calculation, they might wake up soon and if that happens, they will be a serious problem."Are you just thinking about that now? Seriously kid, you will get yourself killed one of these days," the demon lord said while shaking his head. He waved his hand and the cup in his hand disappeared then he turned to look at Max with a grin on his face. "Don't worry kid, I've taken care of that for you, I'm not careless as you humans tend to be."Max upon hearing the demon Lord, let out a relieved sigh and smiled gratefully to the demon lord. He was worried for nothing! Thanks to his angel...or demon rather! He checked his wristwatch and it was time for the next class, he would not want to be late for it and so he told the demon Lord that he was leaving and left even without receiving a reply from him. The demon Lord simply shrugged his shoulders and fell on the bed, sleeping off immediately.Just like Max had expected, when he got to the class, the boys were already awake and barely taking his seat, the four of them approached him, blocking him instantly."What did you do to boss Nat?"

Upon hearing the question, Max's heart skipped. He stared at the faces of the boys and he could see anger written all over them, they glared at him silently, waiting to hear from him.'Didn't that old geezer say that he has taken care of everything? Why are they suddenly asking me that, fuck! I'm doomed' he thought to himself as he kept staring at the four boys."Hey, you ain't saying anything here. We are asking you a question and you are silent, have you suddenly become deaf?" One of the boys with red dreadlocks asked. He among the four boys is the tallest and seemed to be the leader of the trio."I- I don't know what you guys are talking about," Max replied, trying his best to act normal whereas his heart kept pounding faster than normal."Kelvin, I told you...there is no point asking him about that. We all know that by the time we came, he had left and Nat was all alone. We should go visit him later at the clinic instead of wasting our precious

Max's heart began to beat rapidly again and he quickly withdrew his hand and turned around slowly. Upon seeing the person who had just walked in, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and did an imaginary sign of the cross."Oh, it's you? What are you doing here by this time?" Max asked the person who in turn gazed at him in confusion."Am I not the one supposed to be asking you that?" The boy asked in return and walked to the bed. After checking Nat's body and making sure he was fine, he turned to Max and stared deeply at him. "Now tell me, what are you doing here and by this time?""I-..... Of course, I came to see him. I don't know what happened to him or who did this to him so I thought it would be nice if I visit him," Ma replied, sounding in the best of his cool."At night?" The boy asked with a raised brow.

A student asked and no one had the exact answer to his question, they were all confused."Hey, the hell is wrong with you? I just saved your ass and you can't show some appreciation!" Harry said. He was upset at Max's sudden behaviour."Thank you but I didn't beg to be saved...I need that thing on my chest, two of it on my chest or my reward will be gone," Max replied pointing to the ball of flames."Are you okay?"

"How was I able to withstand those blows just fine?" Max asked himself with a smile on his face. He had rushed out of the cafeteria, not because of anything but because he was extremely happy and surprised at the same time. He got into his room and closed the door behind him then walked to the mirror and removed his shirt. "There are no injuries at all, this is freaking awesome! I guess it should be because of the system, hahaha!" Max began to laugh out loud as he danced around his room.As he was dancing, his eyes subconsciously moved to the clock. "Ahhh! Don't tell me that I am late!" He screamed seeing the time.

The students gathered around and started choosing themselves, they picked stronger students among themselves and left the weak ones to choose their selves.

'Bunch of clowns!' he mumbled inwardly and began to look around, for any students he would spar with.Just before he could walk up to one of the free students, Harry approached him together with Kelvin and Matt. "Here comes the devil," he mumbled under his breath as he glared at Kelvin who in return was glaring back at him."I see you have no sparring partner," Harry noted as he got to where Max was standing.

A Shameful End For Kelvin
With wide eyes and opened mouths, everyone watched as the same dark fogs that had disappeared before reappeared again. This time it was behind Kelvin who still had his eyes fixed on Max, he heard everyone scream his name but before he could process anything, it was already late. The dark fogs formed into some long claws and began to tear on his skin. Screams filled the air as Kelvin began to run around the duelling ground, as he ran, the claws followed him as well, tearing on his skin and causing his clothes to be dyed red.As blood gushed out from his body, he began to get weak. He got weak to the extent that he could no longer walk and so he fell to the ground, helpless. No one came to help him, everyone watched as strength sipped out of him gradually, yet, no one made an attempt to help him. Not even Matt who wanted so badly to be his friend. It was as if the world had left him to die, that he was insignificant. From where he was lying down, a tear dropped from his eye then followe

"I hate people like you the most!" He said coldly, causing Kelvin to turn around despite the pains on his back."Y-you....!" Kelvin shuddered, he didn't know what to say, he was confused, shocked and angry at the same time. Yet, he could not do a thing, he could only point at Max with hostility.Max seeing the anger on Kelvin's face beamed, he tilted his head to take a better look at Kelvin's face then without saying a word, he stood up.

"You are to begin after the count of five," Kelvin said, sounding like an official referee. The two opponents nodded in understanding and Kelvin began his count."1""2""3" "4""5""BEGIN!"After the count, Kelvin quickly gave them some space by moving closer to the wall of the duelling ground. Max and Nat both took a fighting stance opposite each other, with their whole attention fixed on themselves. The noisy crowd became quiet as the time they all have been waiting for has finally arrived, their eyes and whole senses on the two boys on the duelling ground, no one wanted to miss any action."Hey, I won't take it easy on you so you better do the same," Nat said as a warning and clasped his hands together.'It's not time for me to show them my demon powers or I'll be in danger, I'll have to follow Zheren's idea even though I would want to beat the crap out of him' Max thought inwardly as he braced himself for whatever Nat was about to do.From Nat's clasped palms, particles of ligh

There Will Be No Room For Failure
Max stormed inside the room and then slumped on his bed, his face was squeezed and his fists were clenched. Zheren also walked inside the room after some time, he glanced at Max and seeing his angry face could not help but sigh. He understood how he felt at the moment because he too had been in the same situation before. Nevertheless, he walked to Max and sat close to him, placing a hand on his shoulder he comforted him as a friend would — This was what Max needed at a time like this, a reminder that he has a friend who believes in him and will stand by him.After some time of comforting, Max calmed down. His face returned to its normal mood and his rising chest completely fell. Thanks to Zheren who knew how to use words just perfectly. After Zheren fell asleep because he mentioned that he was sleepy, Max took a shower because he knew how bad he smelled. After that, he wore light clothes and left the room after glancing at the Zheren.When he got outside, he began to make his way tow

Not Worthy Of Being Called A friend
"Kelvin, you guys have to hurry to the dorms, Nat and Max are about to fight!" A student yelled as he saw Kelvin, Harry and Matt."Max?""Max?"Harry and Kelvin asked in unison, the shocked expression on their faces could not be hidden. "How is that possible?" Kelvin asked in incredulity as he turned to Harry for an answer."We should go and check it out first," Harry replied and ran off. Part of him was overjoyed while the other part was in doubt, Max couldn't be back from the portal and alive. Nevertheless, he ran to the dorms and when he got there, he saw the crowd of students had already gathered around and mumbling hell knows not to themselves.Harry made his way through the crowd of students until he got to the front, where he saw Max being pushed to the wall by Nat. "Max!" He called as he rushed over immediately and stopped Nat from punching Max in the face."Hey man, you just woke up! Can't you rest a bit?"

Nat Is Awake
Zheren led Max through the dark hallway until they got to another building. Then he suddenly stopped and turned around causing Max to almost fall. "Max, I don't know how you were able to do it but I want to say thank you for bringing me back to life and for healing me. Damon said I am now a demon, it came as a shock to me considering my status before but I do not mind that again," Zheren said in a low voice then let out an inaudible sigh."I did what I had to do so you don't have to be like that, besides you saved me," Max replied with a slight smile on his face. "About the demon stuff, well I happened to be favoured by Damon and so I was able to turn into a demon, I guess it was a bit of luck that I was able to bring you back to life. As you have seen, I am not yet strong enough which explains why I fainted. By the way, how many days have I been asleep?" "Two days I guess," Zheren replied to Max's shock."Two days? Hell! I need to return to school," Max said as he remembered someth

Max closed his eyes still and tried to fully fix his attention on the dark energies around him. He may not know why the system requests that he absorb the energies but one thing is for sure and that is his desire to get stronger. After some time, he opened his inner eyes and he could see the dark energies and how they were raging around his soul. It was like they wanted to tear his soul apart but something kept stopping them.Max channelled his mind to the energies and began to draw them to himself, the dark energies felt his presence and suddenly they gathered around and began to form until they formed into the shadow of a man."Are you strong enough to withstand my powers?" Max heard a voice ask him through the shadow of the man. He kept silent for some time as he didn't know if he could be able to do it. At the same time, be wanted to do it because of the rewards attached to it by the system."Yes, I can!" Max replied and without waiting for the shadow to reply to him, he gathere

Awake
"Who are you?" Asked Max with a curious look as he stared at the figure of a man who was standing not too far away from him. He was supposed to be startled by the appearance of the manly figure but surprisingly he wasn't, he felt as though they were connected somehow."My name is Yama," the man said calmly. His eyes glittered as he stared at Max. "Do you know me?" he added."I don't! I should be asking you that because you approached me yourself," Max said still with his gaze fixed on the man."If I am correct, you awakened the remaining part of me during your breakthrough. I am quite surprised to be honest, for a mere human to awaken me is something I never expected even when I was still asleep." Yama said, his voice filled with surprise."I awakened you?" Max asked in shock. 'That explains the strange voice I was hearing during...' he stopped his thoughts halfway and returned his gaze to Yama who was patiently waiting for him to ask questions. "Were you the one speaking through me?"
