System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student The COWARD
Drake never imagined himself doing this. He never imagined conversing with the boy he thought was beneath him. But the cell was suffocating, the room too cold for his liking. He wouldn’t survive the coming days without any form of conversation. So, on the third day, after he’d been placed in a cell just opposite Eren’s, Drake took an opportunity he shouldn’t have had and tried to start a conversation with him. “How long have you been here?” He asked casually, “Five days? A week? Two weeks?” Eren didn’t look up from where he was staring intently at a blank space on the concrete wall across the cell, nor did he blink when he heard the question. He just remained silent. “What do you think William will try to do to us,” Drake tried again, “especially if he doesn’t get what he wants?” More silence. Drake’s jaw clenched. He tried yet again. “I think I have a clue. Do you want to know what I think?” Silence. There was nothing more infuriating than being ignored by someone you
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student The Cell Escape
The fourth night of Drake’s stay in the cell brought a surprise that neither occupant expected. It was late at night, probably 11 p.m. or 12 a.m., Eren could guess. As usual, he could barely sleep. His stomach growled, and the goosebumps across his skin made slumbering difficult. He closed his eyes, humming a slow tone, when suddenly he heard— “Who’s that?” It was Drake. Eren ignored him and continued to hum. Then, Drake spoke again. “Who is there?” And Eren heard it finally. Footsteps. They were soft at first. Almost silent, as if whoever it was was making a point not to announce themselves. Eren stilled. The footsteps didn’t sound like those of the guards, who made sure to make a noisy entrance whenever they arrived. Eren scrambled from the wall to the small partition where he could see a bit. He continued hearing the footsteps, and this time, with each passing second, they came closer. “Eren?” A small but familiar voice called out. Eren was too stunned to spe

“Gaine?” Drake couldn’t believe his eyes.Eren was shocked, too. His body had tensed up, eyes wild with panic as he looked at Alice.“Is this the person helping us? Or is this some trick? What are you—“ Eren started but stopped when Gaine stepped forward. Drake snarled instantly. “Stand back!” He pointed at Gaine and Alice. He stood up from the stool and pointed out, “If you are here to take me back to the devil you call your father, then prepare to meet your death.”“My father is not the devil. I won’t have you insulting him.” Gaine seethed, but Drake ignored him. He continued, “After what I went through, there’s no way I’m gonna go through this without a fight.”Gaine stepped closer again, ignoring Drake’s pointless command and threats.He didn’t blame the boy. If the situation were reversed, he’d be doing the same.Drake had every reason to be wary of him. Eren too. He had Winchester blood, after all.He raised his hands in a show of surrender and said calmly. “Drake, Eren, I am
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student The Figure In The Woods
The whiff of fresh air did nothing to calm Eren's tensed nerves as he rushed after the silhouette in the woods.At first he assumed it was the light casting a shadow and producing the figure-like silhouette. But it wasn’t. There definitely was a movement.His senses were alert and he drew out his MANNA which surprisingly hummed to life, his Excalibur appearing red and bright in the dull night light. The air around him was charged with energy and with swift movement he lunged for the figure within the trees. Not thinking of who they could be or what they wanted.He called for Alice as he ran, but he did not stop to wait for her.Eren could faintly hear Alice call back at him but he refused to look back and focused on the figure running far from him now. Meanwhile Alice heard Eren’s voice and hurriedly rushed out of the cabin.She stood in the spot where he was just minutes ago and felt the charged essence of his energy there. “What happened?” Gaine rushed out and asked.“It's Eren
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student Saving Kathlyn
“What? What's wrong with her?” Eren asked, expertly masking his worry. Even though Kathlyn was not the nicest person, no one would feel undisturbed after losing a loved one. Drake was his arch enemy and number one rival. That would never change, but Kathlyn dying wouldn't have a great effect on Drake regardless of his annoying behavior and how he and Kathlyn never really got along. “Ugh, she passed out” Alice said rushing towards the girl and pinching her nose. She threw a look at Eren. “She's exhausted, you can see it on her physique.” Alice tsked. Eren looked at Kathlyn's body again, it was gaunt, her neck bone almost patterning her skin. “Her breath is shallow, I don't think she has much MANNA reserve left. Poor girl, she must have feeding off of_” “What the hell was that about earlier then?” Eren cut her off and threw an annoyed look at Alice, which almost got her laughing if not that Kathlyn required much and quick medical first aid. Eren was referring to Alice'
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student Nothing To Not Be Excited About
The sound of the waves splashing against rocks filled the room where Silas sat.Even at the expense of gaining the treasure he had been seeking for, he was still wary of William Winchester. The guy was a determined fool, not that the Winchesters had anything on him because of his newly gained treasure.Silas grinned as he thought of how much difficulty the Winchesters and the general public would have trying to find him. All of his properties were confiscated and he had no place in his old villa anymore. But Silas had no thought of it, not that the house meant much to him and also, he had made prior plans in case of any mishap in the full execution of his plans.The house was situated in an isolated island space far from the Academy and it was also hidden from the public by a technology that engineered MANNA to conceal things. People, places and even a whole Island If he wanted. The technology was something he’d created as a play-project in preparation of his plans. He never kne
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student Samantha’s Worries
Evening met Samantha staring into space in the room. Her eyes were fixed on her father who chatted away at the large brown round table where all the older men sat and discussed. Her father looked elated as he gave evil responses to the discussion that they had. ‘I can't do this,’ she thought. ‘This is not my father.’ ‘He's not the man I grew up loving and looking up to. Her ruby eyes teared a bit at her thoughts. Maybe. Just maybe he could change.’ ‘I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for just a few minutes. He could redeem himself.’ Samantha knew, she knew giving her dad more time would just be stalling the result she would inevitably get. It was not that she didn't know that, she just really wished that her father would not become worse than he already was. “I'm sure we have the victory already, the power of the Helm will save us. We need not fear, the Winchesters will eat dust soon.” Edward Dennin stated again, a soul wrenching look of hate formed on his face. Samant

Alice exhaled, a white puff of hot breath warming the cold air in front of her. She looked up to see the Titan in the distance, standing tall and gallant, yet broken from the attack. The sight did something to her. The sight caused Alice to muse about the irony of life. The great untouchable Titan was broken, the thought never crossed her mind. The Winchester compound was awake by the time Alice got back with security personnel taking shifts and the construction workers were back to their repair duty. It seemed as though life had returned back to the compound. But she knew, Alice knew that those dutiful activities of the men was plainly one of responsibility and no other motivation. There was a fear in the atmosphere and the people were anxious because of the attack by Silas. However Alice could see that little by little the people found joy amidst their fear. At the thought, a small smile touched Alice's lips. After a few minutes of walking , Alice reached the Academy

THE END
“Samantha Dennin." A female security officer poked her head into the gymnasium of the Academy, looking around for her. “Lord William had requested your audience. Immediately."Samantha stood up abruptly, looked at the officer, and offered her a curt nod of affirmation before removing her gym towel from her neck and following the Security officer out of the gymnasium.The air outside the gym was crispy and cold. Samantha could hear winter’s whisper from the wind and the cold.She smiled as she breathed in the fresh air. She looked forward, and in the distance, she could see the towering building, The Titan, where William Winchester's office was. She was not at a loss about what was going to happen. The new academic session of Winchester Academy started a few days before, and she had hoped that she would be able to participate in it, but William Winchester hadn't said anything yet. For her, whatever William Winchester said would determine the course of her life.“Come in." She hear

Letting Bygones Be Bygones
It had been three days since the battle, and the Academy was still buzzed with the news of the Great Fight as the students tagged it. Construction started immediately after the fight, and students joined in to make it faster and more effective. The sun shone brighter, and the people were happier. As William had briefed the media, the enemy was incapacitated and wouldn't be coming back. While it shined sunshine and rainbows, doom spelled darkness in the deepest parts of the Academy prison yards. In a state-of-the-art prison, Silas sat, locked up by order of the Awakened judiciary, until his judgment. Vatican Sol was also locked with him. The only problem that the Academy had was the runaway father and son. Edward Dennin and his son, Trevor Dennin. Finding them was becoming a problem because of Edward Dennin's expertise in hiding. However, William made sure that the security team wouldn't rest until they found them both. This became their motivation to look harder and find

The Fall Of Silas Homer
Zachary raised his head and was face to face with Silas. He desperately struggled to keep his breath going. He had held on for more than five minutes, waiting for nothing. He just wanted to keep Silas Homer busy so he would not pursue Eren. Eren stood around thirty steps away, transfixed. Zachary understood that he needed more time and was willing to help him obtain it. Zachary had two things that made him determined. The first one was that nothing would happen to his son for as long as he was conscious on the battlefield, and the second was that he wouldn't die until he explained the actual situation to his son.“You think you're all it?" Zachary asked, a disgusted look on his face. Silas's eyes widened like a madman's, obviously not accepting of what Zachary said. “I'm better than a weakling like you!" He shouted. “The world does not need weaklings. You all do nothing more than infest the world with your weakness. It's sickening.”Zachary rasped and chuckled, his face amused.

Father & Son, Face To Face
Night was fast approaching, but the fire of war still burned bright on the summit. Fights continued in different places and spots as MANNA burst forth in various ways and diverse strengths. Despite the bloody battlefield, the colors in the sky splashed out in equipoise. The blues and green and orange, the sky prided itself in its contrast to the mortality of men. The sky looked upon the men of the ground with pity as they stole life from one another and sent their souls to nowhere.Eren Trost ran into the battlefield with a roar of rage and snatched the Helm of Tyrants from Silas Homer, yanking it from his head. The older man didn't notice that a few of his hair was torn along with it. His pride and trust in the Helm of Tyrant were going to be his doom, and he didn't know it yet. Slowly, the great level of MANNA, which was running through his veins and synced with blood, left him. Realizing that he had been rid of the power he depended on, Silas Homer looked around in haste, des

Blood & Betrayal
The day was beginning to bleed into the evening, but the fighting field retained its activity. Jared Khan was faced by his children at the eastern end of the fighting field. Kathlyn had her hand on her hip as she faced her father, angrily questioning him about his decisions.“Dad! You don't have to do this.” She ran towards him to stop him from hurting innocent people. Jared Khan ignored them and tossed the guard he had just beaten up, who had slumped to the side. After he saw that the space around him was empty and no guard or soldier was standing that he could attack or fight with, he reluctantly faced his children.“Father, " Drake started. “Why are you doing this?” He transformed back and stood behind his sister, hoping that she could knock him back into reality.Drake had always believed Kathlyn to be their father's favorite. Growing up, she always got their father's love and attention, which was different from his experience. Drake hoped that his sister's being more loved

Way Down We Go 2
Eren kept his gaze on Sid. Not out of caution but to seek his little bit of regret. But he got nothing. Despite his rage and anger-infused questions, Sid didn't respond; he just retained his blank, emotionless look, further enraging Eren.“Say something!" Eren shouted again, hoping Sid would respond and, at the least, tell him why he was doing what he was. Why did he choose to follow Silas despite his sinister plans to destroy the Awakened society and the world as they knew it?Despite Eren's hurt, which he deliberately ignored to focus on restoring his image, finding Silas, returning the Helm of Tyrants, and finding the truth behind his mother's death, he wanted to believe that Sid wasn't doing it voluntarily. He wanted to believe that he had a reason why he betrayed his trust and followed Silas“I have nothing to say to you, Eren," Sid said, unsheathing his daggers tucked in the leather pouch. Eren's face slowly pulled into a confused frown, and he wracked his head, trying to

Way Down We Go
A dark cloud covered the sun and enveloped the area in the seminar hall, making it look like the evening. MANNA glowed in diverse colors in different spots and places as the Awakened society attacked one another. The Awakened who followed Silas came rushing into the arena, and William's trained soldiers attacked them with power and strength on par with Silas's Awakened. Flashes of sword fights and MANNA shots filled the seminar ground. The dark cloud that covered the sun slowly peeled off its surface, revealing the faces of each person to their opponent.The thrill of victory dried off Eren's nerves as he ran to the fighting ground, his heart beating hard as he approached the middle of the fight. He could see William's braided white hair in the distance, and he rushed to the scene, stopping about twenty steps behind him to get a clearer vision from the proximity. A smirk grew on his lips as he counted; he realized that they had more numbers than Silas's team. William and other p

First War, Second Victory
On the night before the summit, the Academy held its breath in dread and anxiety. Despite the preparations that had been made, the question of the uncertainty of what could happen still lingered in the air.The Helm of Tyrants was the most feared trinket in the Academy, so it was kept safe in the Academy Head’s office, the safest place on the Academy grounds, second only to the Academy vault. The uncertainty of the next day kept William in the middle of his office by 8 p.m., pacing a hole in the ground.William walked to the northern end of his office, where the transparent glass wall was, and looked out of the window; the north side of the Academy was completely open to him. Thoughts of what could happen the next day filled his mind. He thought of thousands of scenarios in which they won and a million in which they lost. His father had spoken to Zachary and him since they were teenagers about the Helm of Tyrants and its great power. In the wrong hands, the world as they know it

Celestial Grove
Drake sat opposite the large window in his Academy dorm room, his hands intertwined behind his head as he rocked the wooden dorm chair. Sighing for the fourth time in a minute, he brushed one hand through his hair, the dirty blonde shining a hue of gold as the morning sun streamed into his room when the clouds cleared off it.“Ugh," He groaned, his hands sliding down his face, muffling his voice. This is sweet hell, he thought and stood up abruptly, causing the chair to tip back and almost fall. Drake swiftly held it back and positioned it to face his desk, the chair frame now facing away from the window.Drake stood up to check the window. The glass was completely transparent, giving him a clear view of what was going on on the ground floor. It was bustling with activities. Drake perceived it as preparations for Silas Homer’s suspected plan to destroy the major clan leaders and senators all at once during the nation's leaders' summit, which was a few days away.He used animal he
