CH/ 03

After Max talked with his father, he got permission to do as he wishes but he should not ignore the school when it comes back once again.

[1 WEEK LATER]

[MAX'S ROOM]

"This book has been here for a week and I haven't opened it yet, the book looks like it has around 80 pages and grandpa said it has infinite pages, which made me question a lot of things about him", Max brought down the book and put it on his table, "Let's see what awaits us, the past secrets of this world are hidden in this book".

Sighed, he opened the book, the book pages emitted light, the light was the reflection of the Sun shining upon the book, it was so clean and beautifully written, one could say it is beautiful in its way, Max looked page by page, he saw sketches of various abilities and technique each page had a skill written on it.

Max assumed the book was around 80 pages, "It is really infinite", he reached page 1000+ and there were still more things coming, "What a book, maybe grandpa had spoken the truth this whole time, he was right, magic is real and it will come back".

Till September, Fall, Max only read the book and had learned about various skills, since they were just written words and he had no mana to use them and try them out, he patiently learned around hundreds of them in 2 months and started his school one again.

[Dragsa High-school]

Max got to school, "This is my school now, would they be like the ones in town, would I be treated the same", Max went into the school and he got all the attention, Max had a height of 176, black hair and Hazel-eyes, which made him an attractive to the girls around him.

"Who is he?", "I haven't seen anyone like him?", "He must be a new transfer student", Max was hearing the people who were talking about him.

A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was with a group of teenagers and said, "He is a handsome one", a boy from the group of boys said, "Don't be stupid, you are my girl", the girl looked at him and said to him, "Well you both got the looks, he looked goofy and cute, you look badass and sinister, I love both types...", the girl got closer to him and touching his nose, "...but one thing I love more than anything about men, is their strength, show me how strong you are babe...", the girl went away and said throwing a kiss, "See ya around".

The boy was sitting like a king among his group of boys, then one of them said to him, "Ivan will you show that bastard who is the right and worthy king for her, I wouldn't want to lose a baddy like her if I was you", "Shut up you fat f*ck, I will teach that asshole a lesson, with my fists".

[MAX'S CLASSROOM]

Max sat in the corner once again, "It seems my position is the back as always, please God let them be kind to me, I don't want to be treated badly like the last year".

As Max was lost in his thoughts, A girl touched him and he freaked out, "Hah... yes?", "Sorry didn't mean to scare you, I saw you outside and was interested in you and wondered which class you would be in...", winking she sat down and continues, "lucky me, you are in my class, can I sit next to you for the rest of the year", nervously and blushing Max's thought, "Why is everything going so fast, what should I do, I have never talked to a girl, should I let her?", "Can I?".

As Max was thinking of an answer, the class was talking to each other, the most beautiful girl in the class and possibly the school is sitting next to the new student, "I wouldn't mind, you can sit next to me".

The class knew something about her that he didn't, "He is dead, Ivan will kill him, his girlfriend is proposing to sit next to him and he accepted", "Yeah we better not get involved with the boy or will be treated as equals".

"My name is Rose Ahlberg, and what's your name?", Asked Ivan's Girlfriend, Max thought, "She is so beautiful, a name befitting of her character", "My name is Max, Max Bellwitz", "Max, do you know you are a handsome boy", Max blushed and said, "Oh really??? No one has told me that except for my mom and grandma's", Then Rose laughed and stared him up and down.

The teacher came in and the bell rang, the teacher welcomed Max and asked him to come forth and introduce himself to the class, on his way to the front he noticed in the back, "I was told all the chairs in the school are occupied, five are missing".

Standing before the class, "Hello, my dear class... umm... my name is Max... Max Bellwitz", As Max said his name, the class doors opened and he looked into the eyes of Ivan, the class went silent even the teacher didn't speak, Ivan came before Max and said, "Welcome to my school, Max Bellwitz, my name is Ivan, Ivan Thorsen".

Max's eyes wide open, he thought to himself, "Thorsen, the noble clan, I am in the same school as him, he must be very kind to tell me his name personally", Ivan continued, "you are the newest collection here", Max saw Him touching his hands on him and he thought, "Collection? What is he talking about?", Max looked at Rose, he saw her smiling while everyone had a fear on their face, "Max Bellwitz, make sure to entertain me, I will see you after school".

Ivan and the four boys with him sat down and Max went to his place, Rose told Max, "Ivan is the owner of this school, it was a gift from his father, so no one can do anything about it", "The owner, then he is nice to his Students right?", "Well he is nice but if I have my eyes on any boy, his mood changes".

Max asked, "do you have your eyes on any boy for the time being", Rose looked at him, "It is you, so fight well if you want to win me after school".

Max was shocked at her answer, Max with fear thought to himself, "She was the first girl I have talked to for so long and she was nothing but a problem...", Max heard Rose smiling and laughing, Max looked into her eyes and saw the eye of a demon.

Max for the first time in his life, raised his voice at someone and it was a stranger, "You... You are... the one behind this aren't you?", "Huh? What is your problem?", For a split second Max snapped out of Reality and went all out crazy and hit Rose's head on the table and punched her a couple of times, while shouting, "You piece of shit, I was expecting to have a nice school year, screw you and your beauty, you took my freedom in this school, you-", Max's fist were caught by Ivan, "You went a little too far, cowboy", Ivan punched him really hard, his boys took Max out.

Ivan and Rose left the room, "Continue teaching the class Mrs, you don't get paid for doing nothing", "Yes, Sir", the teacher thought to herself, "What did his family think when they gave him this school, we are supposed to teach and not beat".

[SCHOOL GARDEN]

Ivan's friends were kicking and punching Max left and Right, then Rose herself came and kicked Max in the face, "You punk, who did you think you are to hit me after I sat next to you as a mercy", Max's eyes went blurry and he could only see her talk but couldn't hear a single thing, "Why is this happening to me, am I cursed with bad luck? Please God, help me".

Max was picked up and slowly regained his consciousness, Ivan told him, "Get ready cowboy, we will fight together, if you win you will have Rose and an honorary title, The Winner but if you lose, I will have her and you will be called a loser, so stand up and fight for your pride".

Max stood, "All this happened", At that Moment he remembered all the bad things that had happened to him at school back in his days, "I have a choice now, I will win and I will be free of suffering, yes...".

Rose and the boys sat on the benches in the garden, "Pfft... Make sure to win Ivan, I don't wanna be his girlfriend anymore", "Don't worry Ivan is the strongest, he will destroy the poor soul".

Max to everyone's surprise screamed and jumped at Ivan, "I never thought you would make the first move", Ivan dodged his first punch and with his right fist punched him in the stomach, with his left hand Ivan pushed Max on the ground, "Do you know how much your parents begged just so that I could let you enrol this school, the school of elites, only the best of the best are accepted, but you went on to be a trouble in the first day".

Ivan stood up and with his foot on Max's face, "You are a disgrace and weak boy, a man won't be born from you, it saddens me you are the grandson of the Hero, I won't fire you from school, but I sure will make it a hell for you, Max Bellwitz".

Ivan left Max on the ground, Rose hugged him and kissed him on the cheeks, "Just as I believed, you are always the winner, I am just happy with you", Ivan looked her in the eyes then told his friends, "Spread the words around, Max Bellwitz the grandson of the Hero Audrey Bellwitz, receives the title of the Loser, after losing a match against the school president Ivan Thorsen".

[3 MONTHS LATER]

Since the day I lost, I had got the title of the loser, a title passed by Ivan Thorsen, this title gives others the right to treat you as they like and it will be seen as a good act, those who talk to the ones with the title of the loser will be seen as equal, I had no one talking to me for the whole three months, I was alone, my family knew what was happening but my grandpa didn't let them do a thing, "Everyone will get what they deserve in the right time", that's what he used to say.

Every student was treating me as talentless garbage, they were hitting, kicking, tripping, pinching, pushing,  damaging my things, name-calling, insulting, teasing, intimidating, racist remarks of my town, spreading false rumours, negative physical gestures, contemptuous looks, nasty jokes to embarrass me and

humiliate me, unkindly mimicking me, damaging my reputation and my acceptance in the area.

Standing on a bridge, Max threw away his book of magic into a lake and said, "I was in hell, but today everything will change".

[DECEMBER, 31, 2999]

It was snowing, everyone was out celebrating for the upcoming new year, but Max had called out Ivan and his friends.

On a bridge they met Max, "So loser where do you want us to fight?", Max answered, "Down the hill near the lake, there I will regain my honour and beat you all", one of Ivan's friends start to laugh and the others did too, "You beat us, haha... you loser you can't do shit to us, you little", "Yeah, Ivan come on, let's deal with him here, I will be enough for him".
