The Cheat Seed (Vol 1)

Chapter 1 [The Cliche Beginning]

"Marcus...Marcus! Wake Up" 

Mom Called from the kitchen.

Slowly opening his eyes Marcus rolled up in his bed. He shook his head and reached for the specs beside him on the side table. 

"What time is it?"

 The Alarm beside him was Pointing 8 in the morning as he gave a slow glance to it. 

His eyes widened as he realized that he only had half an hour left until his Awakening Test!!.

"The Alarm didn't ring as usual Goddammit!!" 

(It Did)

Gritting his teeth Marcus rushed to his bathroom and freshened up within a minute. His red straight hair was damp and hung loosely around his forehead. He moved his 150cm short body towards his wardrobe and grabbed his underwear along with a Parka and denim jeans from his wardrobe.

He was already jumping down the stairs within a minute as his Mom called out to him again. But he gave her no ears.

"I am Going!!!! Bye Mom, Bye Dad" 

"Wait, Marcus!! You didn't have your breakfast yet!!" 

"It's OK mom!! I'll share Tiffin with Dave." 

Marcus rushed to his Dad who was reading the newspaper in the living room and grabbed his hand. 

"My hair's wet"

Albert smiled as he heated his hand. His hair heated up and the wetness evaporated into smokes.

"Thank you" 

'CLACK'

The door closed behind Marcus as he ran. He had to reach the Academy ASAP!!. Why You ask???. Because today was his Awakening Day and The final day of his school. Thousands of thoughts popped up in his mind as he ran full speed to 'The Krozon Inter Academy'. 

'I have endured millions of slaps and beatings, endured everything in my life. Today it will come to an end. I will awaken a Legendary seed and show em' whose the Boss !!' 

His thoughts waltzed.

He caught his breath finally after reaching the Academy gate. His eyes narrowed and his mouth happily pouted as he heard a familiar voice behind.

"Dumbo, You late too?" 

Dave scuffled behind him, wheezing hard. 

Marcus grinned at the sight of his friend leaning against the wall, his hands on his knees. Dave's yellow spiky hair was now damp with sweat. He slicked it back with his hand and spat phlegm on the ground beside him. 

Dave was athletic and tall, he was a whole 173 cm, who looked like a giant when he stood beside Marcus. But the distance he had to cover to reach school was far more than Marcus had to. His parents were Peasant Seed users after all, who worked in the Fields as Farmers. 

They lived in the very south in the capital city in the lands allocated for farmers and fields. It was no joke to reach the Academy at the very center from his house. 

"Damn, You got old quick Dave"

"Shut Up you frickin 4 eyed Lizard" 

Both of them laughed at each other as they both struggled to catch their breath. After a pause of a whole minute, they started walking towards the Academy. Now they had time to spare.

The Krozon academy was the biggest in the continent if not in the World. The only reason he got admitted to this Academy was that his Dad was one of the Mages under the king. Both his Mother and Father were brilliant Mages having Unique Seeds and Dominator Soul levels.

But as he was born his mother had to give up her profession as a mage and take care of him. Dad was pissed at the fact that Mom had to give up her Mage duty. But she gave it up for Marcus. Today was the Day He had to prove that her struggle was not in vain. 

The bell rang and the students entered their specific classes. Marcus was in Class B along with Dave. Dave was his only friend who supported him throughout the whole painful Academy days. 

Marcus reminisced those days when they would get taken to a corner and get clobbered by the King's 2nd Son and his friends. 

There was no way to complain as the whole School was funded by the King Himself. The only thing they could do was Keep quiet and Endure. If He had an Endurance stat then it would have been maxed out already.

"Hey, Marcus... Yo Marcus" 

Dave slapped Marcus behind his Ear and pulled it closer. 

"There she is...Your Soul mate hehe"

He pointed towards the door with a chuckle, where a Beauty was leaning. She was facing the class and Marcus could see her glowing face while she was talking to her Friends. 

She had Violet streaks of hair between her blue straightened hair. Her eyes were bright and her pupils a mix of sky blue and violet. Alisha wore a Black Camis on top and Denim Jeans followed her bottom.

'She is an Angel' 

Red streaks sprayed across Marcus's cheeks as he saw her laugh. 

Alisha Eleanor, The Most beautiful girl in the Academy and Of course Marcus's Crush along with some other thousand Boys. Marcus was dreaming when Dave slapped him again. 

"This is your last day here..What do you think? Wanna Give it a try" 

Marcus blushed again at the thought of proposing to Her. 

"No way, She is outta my league dude". 

Dave raised his hand again.

"Stop it, Okay Okay..I'll try" 

Marcus took out a sheet of paper from his bag and Slid it into his left hand. 

"What's that ???" 

"This my boy is a Writer's way of proposing"

 Marcus Smiled Smugly.

"That's the lamest way too"

Dave replied as he stared blankly ahead.

Embarrassed, Marcus stood up and went for her. His whole body was shaking as he made his way towards Alisha. He gave a last look to Dave as he was cheering Marcus with both of his thumbs up. 

"Ali...Sha" 

"What ya doin' Scumbag?" 

Marcus jolted back as a Figure came Face to Face with him as he turned back.

"Ga..Ga...Gabriel ?"

A punch connected straight to his Jaws as Marcus tumbled back and hit his head on a table. 

"Who gave you the permission to call me by my name ??" 

Gabriel Richard, 2nd son of the king and the most popular boy in the Academy. His look itself proved him to be Royalty. His Green hair was slicked back by gel. 

His face was clean without any acne. His look was sharp and his Gold Jacket and Jeans made of the real deal shined as the sunlight hit it through the open window. 

His brother was Arthur Richard, Legendary seed, and had a soul level of a Dominator, Ranking 5th in the Revokers list. So no one could defy him either.

 A bit Dazed, Marcus sat up and dusted his palms. It was not late as he realized he was missing something. The letter!!! He frantically searched around him adjusting his specs but it was nowhere to be found. 

"Well Well, What's this?"

 Marcus looked up, he trembled as Gabriel held the letter in his hands. 

"Sir Gabriel I am very very sorry, Please return that sheet of paper, it is not worthy of your recognition" 

Marcus bowed and pleaded as formally as he could.

"Dear Alisha" 

Marcus's eyes widened as Gabriel started reading out the letter. Alisha Came up to Gabriel and read it with him. A Minute later she looked disgustingly at Marcus. 

Heart broke, Marcus stood up and kept his head low. Dave rushed towards him and helped him up. 

"What a waste!! Do you dare propose to my Lady?? She is destined to be mine and mine only."

Gabriel took Alisha's hand and kissed it. 

Alisha in return blushed and looked back at Marcus in disgust.

"Garbage" 

All those good thoughts that Marcus build inside his heart about her were breaking down. She was a Devil!.

"Let's Go, Marcus, Let's Get out of here" 

Dave jumped from his seat and grabbed his friend's shoulders and helped him outside the classroom as they heard students mumbling and giggling behind them. 

They reached the boy's restroom and Dave pushed the door open and helped a stunned Marcus inside. He walked him to the washbasin.

After a minute-long thought, Marcus Washed his Face.

"So that was her strongest form Huh? Her Ultra Instincts form is so lame though, she should have remained Super Saiyan Blue"

Dave chuckled as he brought up the comics they read yesterday. 

"Yeah"

"You should be glad that she didn't accept you. A girl like her? Makes Me Laugh"

Dave continued.

"Yeah"

"What's with you now?"

Dave asked as he got annoyed with the stiff way Marcus was talking. 

"Nothing"

Dave pushed Marcus back. 

"You forget what happened RIGHT NOW!! and be the Marcus I know."

There was no reply, but a small bellow echoed from Marcus. 

"Ah, Let it go, man" 

Dave said as he placed his hand on his friend's shoulder.

Marcus finally broke down. Tears gushed as he kept spraying water over his face.

"I am gonna make them pay, make them pay for what they put me through." 

Marcus punched the mirror in front of him. 

An awkward minute passed. Marcus backed up holding his hand and screamed at top of his lungs. 

"That hurts a lot, Fu*k" 

"Pffft" 

Dave was laughing beside him.

Marcus smiled at last. 

"This looks cool in movies though" 

"HEHEHE, I KNOW RIGHT!"

"Even the mirror's laughing at you" 

"SHUT UP"

"PFfft"

After cooling down, both of them entered the Classroom again. Everyone was staring at Marcus. He felt his heart heavy but Dave pushed him forward ignoring everyone. They took their seats at the very end of the class. 

Gabriel was smirking at them and Alisha was beside him.

The Teacher entered the Classroom as soon as the bell rang. Miss Sylvie was the homeroom teacher and she was A Summoner. She had her bond beside her as she leaned against the table behind her and faced the students. Her bond, Thunder Hawk was a Demon Monarch ranked beast and was perched on her right shoulder.

"So students! Listen up."

Miss Sylvie waited for a second to ensure everyone was listening and continued.

"Today is going to be the most important day of your life!!. Today is the day when you are going to be Reborn as A Revoker".

Students exclaimed and some let out shrill voices of excitement. 

Miss Sylvie grinned at her students who were showing great interest in this matter.

"That's it, I wish you all the best. Students starting from the First bench may stand up and move slowly towards the Awakening podium."

They did as she said and within 5 minutes everyone was present at the Awakening Podium. 

'This is it' 

Marcus sat beside Dave on the podium and waited.

"Wish you, luck bro" 

"Same Bro"

Both of them wished luck to each other.

After a Minute or So, the Grand Mages appeared out of thin air and The Awakening Globe along with the Circle glowed a Blinding white light at the center.
