Last year, before the authorities decided to create an institute to provide students with information and a clear way to progress smoothly in Utopia, Alex used to attend to a normal middle school.

In total, he spent 2 years studying there before Utopia took the world by a storm.

At the beginning of his first semester, while it was a lunch break, he saw a crowd of people gather and watching something. He was also interested in why they assembled and come between them to check it out.

What he witnessed was how 5 boy ganged up on a young girl in the corridor. Alex saw that the girl, who was also his classmate, was quite uncomfortable and wanted to help her. When he finally arrived in the front of the crowd and was about to jump in to help, another girl hurriedly stopped him and warned.

"Dont meddle in the mess. The boy is the principal's only son and you dont want to be in his bad book. At most, they will tease her a bit but if you want to play the hero, you will definitely ask for a beating."

Alex ignored her and, after rushing forward, he pushed the boy who appeared to be the group's leader; he stood between the group and the girl.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

Of course the boy who had been pushed away immediately become angry and shouted at him

"Dont you see that you are troubling her?"

Alex said, then looked at the girl and said to her, "You can go now. If they keep harassing you, report it to the police or tell your father to fill an accusation against them."

The girl was pleasantly surprised that someone stood up to help her and timidly said, "Thank you for standing up for me. I will go call a teacher and explain what happened."

As she left, the bullies turned their attention to Alex, " You really had to ruin my good deed. Let's see how i deal with you"

The boys quickly surrounded him

"boy you are dead"

Luckily, Alex was not a mindless idiot as he held out his phone and said," I hope you know what you are doing. Even if you are the principal son, you can't just attack others and harass girls"

It can be seen that the phone recording has been on since Alex intervened.

"Stop it guys"

As their leader stopped them, he also threatened Alex, "I heard your name is Alex. I hope you will always have your phone in the oncoming years."

" Boy, I will make sure you will enjoy your school life"

His group of lackeys also cursed him

Alex was not the one who didn't fight back, so he said, "I hope next time I will find you alone, not like the dogs always in groups."

"Good, I will remember your words."

They started leaving, and as the onlookers saw the fun was over, they started leaving as well.

After that day, Alex faced with many hardships. 

When he wanted to befriend other boys, they kept a clear distance from him, because literally everyone know he had a fight with the principal's son. There were cases when he befriended one just to be betrayed and cases where he really found a friend. But after the bullies beat his friend, he also kept a distance from him.

In order to avenge his friend, he even beat up a member of the bullies' group. But after beating him, he got suspended for a week because of his violent nature. Even after accusing the bullies of their behaviour, he was the only one who suffered.

Thankfully, not everything was dark, as the girl who he has saved reported the matter to his father, who went to the police to fill a complaint to the school. After the board members heard about it, they seriously warned the principal to take care of his son.

So when the boys saw the girl, they didn't dare to come near her.

The girl also become his only friend through the 2 years he spent in middle school.

Her name was Lilian. After the incident, she thanked him multiple times. But she felt guilty; she thought that because of her cowardice, the boy who helped her become alienated in the school. This feeling also encouraged her to become more heroic and confident.

She was around Alex whenever she could be, and they often hanged out together on weekends. Alex was grateful for her companionship and they got really close to each other. They have known that they had a different feeling for each other, but they didn't pierce that layer of paper and remained friends.

Thanks to her, Alex become mature, and he realized that fighting against them is meaningless and focused more on learning. But teachers often used unreasonable things to find fault with him just to please the principal.

Finally, when a teacher accused him of cheating on his exams, and the school accepted the statement, something snapped in Alex. Since they played like this, he accompanied them.

One day after school, Alex waited for the principal's son to leave and followed him. When he was finally alone, he paid some money to a whore to lure him into a dark valley.

After deceiving the boy, Alex wore on a ski mask and took a crowbar with him. When the whore come out, he rushed in. Quickly looking around, he spotted the bully and rushed at him.

"Swing"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Horrifying screams rang out in the silent valley as Alex broke all his limbs and the boy kept screaming.

"I hope you enjoy your school years"

After saying this, Alex quickly left the valley.

Next day

Alex was sitting in the classroom when the Principal asked for his presence in the office through the school radio.

Alex got up and was about to leave when Lilian grabbed his sleeve and cast a worried look at him. He also casts a look at her, telling her not to worry,. Seeing his look, she let him go.

Alex's hearth felt warm, and he kept on walking. Soon he arrived at the principal's office. After knocking. He heard a slightly older voice saying.

"come in"

As Alex entered the room, he saw 2 police officers and the principal with a gloomy-looking face.

"Alex, I know you had a little misunderstanding with my son, but breaking his arms and legs are a bit too much dont you think?"

After hearing what the old man said, Alex pretended to be dumbfounded and said, " Principal, what are you talking about?"

As the police investigators saw his appearance, they cast a glance at the principal.

"Alex, I know what you did. Last night, when my son was on his way home, you ambushed him and break his limbs with a crowbar. You dont have to deny it. We have a camera footage about the whole incident."

"Principal, I know your son has a grudge because I defended a girl from his harassment and the girl's father even alerted the board about this. Everyone knows you made me suffer punishment by lowering my rating and accusing me of fraud. Please stop accusing me of things I didn't do."

After hearing what Alex said, the two investigators' eyes almost popped out of their eye sockets, and they started whispering.

The principal knows that the situation is not good. So he immediately said, " Alex, stop lying. We have the whole incident on the camera."

Alex knows he is bluffing. He deliberately did in a dark valley where there was no surveillance. He turned to the two officers and said, " Officers, I can prove that I was at home after the school ended yesterday. I was chatting with my friend on the phone and I have multiple photos that I took at home, with clear time points to prove when did I take them.

If it is not enough, then please check the street cameras near my home. Moreover, my friend can be a confirmation."

Looking at Alex, the two police officers were sure that he was accused wrongly. " You don't have to be afraid. We are not suspecting you, the camera footage mentioned by the principal doesn't even exist. We just use it to make you confess. We are sorry for wronging you, and if what you said is true about your ratings, we will surely investigate."

After this incident passed, Alex was never questioned again. Perhaps the principal got into a difficult position as he finally stopped making things difficult for him.

He finally could spend his time with Lilian and attend to school normally. He didn't try to make new friends since he knows they ignored his plight. All he needed was one true friend.

This went on till one day Lilian disappeared. Leaving only a message that she has transferred to another school.
