2024-10-29 19:42:56"Students pick your sparring partner and get ready to start," The teacher said, drawing everyone's attention to him. The students gathered around and started choosing themselves, they picked stronger students among themselves and left the weak ones to choose their selves. Max watched what was going on and could not help but scoff. '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. "How about we spar?" he asked with a smirk.
"Why? We are no mates so I guess you should go ask one of your mates," Max replied and turned to leave."And where do you think you are going? Have you grown balls to walk out on us?" Kelvin asked angrily, he felt insulted by Max."Leave him to me and stay out of this," Harry turned to Kelvin and replied. Then he pulled Max by the collar and dragged him away from where Kelvin stood.
"Hey, what was the meaning of that?" Max asked as Harry stopped dragging him. He turned and saw how the students were all looking at him and laughing. "Why would you drag me like a dog?" He asked again, this time there was anger written all over him.
Harry saw the anger in his eyes and somehow he felt a wave of fear but then...he shook the thought out of his head. The Max he knew couldn't do anything so his anger was meaningless. "Calm down, there is no need to get angry over trivial things. I did it to help you, see... If I didn't choose to spar with you, Kelvin would have picked you as his sparring partner and when that happens he'll treat you with no mercy. He still believes you are behind Nat's current predicament, although I don't know for sure, he is certain. And just so you know, he won't rest until he finds out the truth, if you are behind it, sorry to say this but your days on earth are numbered."
Max listened to what Harry said then his eyes subconsciously moved to where Kelvin is and like he had guessed, Kelvin was still glaring at him. 'If that is the case then, I'll need to work on myself fast, really fast. Something tells me that Nat will be awake anytime soon '"I understand but I've got some questions to ask you," Max replied causing Harry to smile. "Is it funny? Why are you smiling?"
"Never mind, just go ahead with your questions," Harry said.
"Why are you helping me? We are supposed to be enemies," Max asked. The confusion was getting too much and he needed to clear it out.
"Isn't it obvious?" Harry asked with a grin on his face, this action confused Max the more.
"What is obvious?"
"That I like you."
"Wh-" Max didn't find the right question to ask Harry at the moment, it was as if he lost his voice to talk. He was quiet and kept staring at the boy until he found his voice again. "What do you mean?"
"Let me be your friend and I'll protect you from bullies like Kelvin," Harry replied with a calm assuring smile."If you become my friend, what will become of your group?" Max asked, referring to Nat and Kelvin.
"I can handle them but not now, I'll still need to be close to them. If I suddenly leave now, Kelvin's suspicion will triple and he'll have no choice but to think that I am your accomplice."
Max kept quiet and thought about what Harry had said. To him, it would make sense if Harry becomes his friend, that way he would not have to worry about the seniors who bully him but at the same time, he was not feeling all good about the idea. How someone like Harry would be asking for a friendship from total trash like Max was something out of the ordinary. 'This is going to be worse than I thought, but I'll have to agree... I'm going to use him wisely before anything can even think of going wrong' he smiled evilly as he thought inwardly.
"Wh-"
"Everyone gather around and let the training begin after the count of five."
Harry was about to ask Max why he was smiling so weirdly but just then his words were cut short by the teacher's voice. All the students had successfully gathered themselves in twos and were now waiting for the teacher to count.
"1"
"2"
"3"
"4"
"5"
"Begin!"
"You throw the punches, I'll evade them," Harry informed and Max nodded and the both of them took their fighting stances.
Meanwhile, Kelvin had been glaring at Max even when they were asked to begin. This didn't sit well with Matt and so he had to ask.
"You have been staring at them for quite some time now, is there something wrong?"
"No, I just hate that kid's guts. Something keeps telling me that he's got a hand in Nat's situation," Kelvin replied not taking his eyes off Max who was far away from them.
"You might be overthinking, he can't do a thing to boss considering his level of ability," Matt replied. Trying his best to make Kelvin pay him any attention since they became friends, Harry had been the only one close to Kelvin and Nat. No one was giving him a chance to get close to them, all they did was send him on errands and then stand aside and watch them. He thought speaking bad of Max will make Kelvin need him but his thoughts were wrong.
He looked down at his wristwatch and sighed. '1.2' He remembered his first day in the school, it was Harry who introduced him to Kelvin. He remembered how Kelvin had persuaded Nat to accept him in the group and even how he saved his ass the day he almost got beaten by one of Nat's rivals. Since then he began to develop a liking for Kelvin, he thought he was going to be liked back but then...Kelvin did all those because Harry was his elder brother.
Matt shook his head — he was shaking off the thoughts in his head, he knew he would never be liked by Kelvin. He glanced over at Max and sighed, he was no different than him yet, his case was worse than he thought.
"Can we start sparing now?" He turned and asked Kelvin. His voice, no longer soft and calm, he was going to focus on getting strong then maybe, just maybe...he could then be liked.

My Overlord Demon System Green Portal
Under the scorching sun of a plain area that had no trees not even an ounce of life were about a hundred to two hundred students all sweating and frowning their faces. Some used their hands to fan themselves while others used a piece of cloth or anything usable. The sun was too much – it was so unbearable that the students were no longer excited as they had been earlier, even the ground they were stepping on was hot."Why are you feeling so comfortable?" Kelvin could not help but ask Evelyn. Since they had arrived at the green portal, she hadn't for once complained or even frowned, worst of it all was that she wasn't sweating like her sister who almost wanted to pull her clothes off if not for the gaze of her twin."It's because she has the fire ability," Emily replied while wiping the sweat off her forehead. The group finally understood why Evelyn felt so comfortable and calm.'Fire ability huh? Sounds cool, it's no wonder her gaze is so fierce and

Too late!Was all that came into the minds of the students as they watched Max disappear together with the beast.It was all like a dream to his group members especially Harry who Max was talking to before he disappeared. They didn't know how the beast was able to break out from the ice without anyone knowing, not even Emily saw it coming. To think the basic beast would be able to break from her intermediate ice spell was something that baffled her."Max," Harry called out in fright as he stared at the empty space not too far away from them. That was the spot Max was standing previously. He began to walk towards the place and when he got there, it shocked him how the ground looked normal like nothing happened there."What should we do? We need to find him!" Harry said, turning his attention to Kelvin who also looked shocked but not to the point of doing anything."There is nothing we can do Harry, we can't possibly enter the groun

'This is it! This is the end for me!' Max thought to himself as he stared at the enormous crab that had just walked into the cave carrying a human boy in its hand, it turned around and seeing all the dead crabs let out an angry shrieking roar that shook the entire cave. It angered it a lot to see its dead comrades scattered around the whole place in their piles of blood. The enormous crab flung the boy he was holding causing him to slam his back against the hard wall and then fell to the ground then it began to dash towards Max. Max didn't see it coming, it ran at an unseeable speed and when it got to where Max was lying, it clawed at him giving him a deep tear from his neck down to his chest. Max felt the burning pain, he wanted to scream but he could not find his voice. He tried to get up but it was a failed attempt, blood kept gushing out without stopping. He gradually opened his hazy eyes and looked ahead, there, was the crab coming at him
My Overlord Demon System Max's Sacrifice
"Argh!" Max yelled as a blinding light engulfed him, he began to rise until he was standing in the air. The crab tried to attack it but each time it makes contact with the blinding light, it would be sent flying away. After many failed attempts, it stopped and watched the human boy in a confused state. Slowly yet rapidly, the bruises, cuts and gashes all over his body began to close up until there were none left.*Ding*>>>>>>>>>>>>>><

His fingers trembled, his brows knitted together, his eyes flickered a bit and slowly they began to open until his blue eyes came into view. His eyes wandered around him until he spotted Max laying close to him with his eyes tightly shut, he abruptly got up and went over to Max to check his impulse."He isn't breathing!" He exclaimed and removed his hands from under Max's nose, his face darkened as he remembered what happened. Just before Max collapsed, Zheren's mind had begun to function, he became aware of what Max was doing to him, he would never have believed that someone would risk his life just to save him. He let out a sigh and sat close to Max's body, "I don't know how you were able to bring me back alive but no matter what it is, I'll forever be indebted to you and will follow you. I may not be able to protect you just yet but I will work hard to regain my lost powers and my title, after that no one would ever hurt you again." Zheren's first clenched so tight as he remembere

"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?"

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.

"I hate people like you the most!" He said coldly, causing Kelvin to turn around despite the pains on his back."Y-you....!"

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

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.

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.

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!
