A gloomy dark haired teen stood completely still as he stared at the noticeably large bulletin board in the hallway where a crowd of students were gathering to see the results of the first year semester exam.
He clenched his teeth, clenched his fist hard, who also felt a immense amount of despair and hopelessness sneak up on him. Kael, who was looking for his name finally found it. His name sat on the very bottom of the list... Again. He stared at the name with desperation in his eyes, hoping that staring at it would change but it didn't.
Kael Ashborn
'I-I failed... at dead last again.'
'Why did i expect a different outcome this time? I gave it my all and i still failed.' His tear's that welled up in his eyes were threatening to fall but he pushed them back down. He then looked at the name who scored at the top of the exam, Seris Valeblume. A Noble from house Valeblume and has extraordinary talent with a sword.
To Kael, the academy's weakest student, she was untouchable from his perspective and she was realms away in terms of swordsmanship and magic. He overheard a few students whispering.
"Seris Valeblume came in first of the exam again, huh."
"Well that's a given isn't it?, because she has the light attribute."
"The top participants haven't changed at all since the entrance exam."
Their words felt like shackles on kael that were only getting heavier by the second. He was thinking about dropping out, but he knew deep down that dropping out wasn't an option. He needed this money from his scholarship for his sister's treatments.
'I won't give up, Mira's life depends on these treatments.' He then slowly made his was through the large crowd and accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry" he said.
Just as he was about to walk away a hand gripped his wrist and threw him to the ground.
"You scummy bastard! You bumped into Riven, and all you can say is sorry?"
Kael recognized that voice instantly, it was one of the many voices of the people that had terrorized his life since the moment he arrived at the academy.
Garrik Varnhold, one of rivens many lackeys who is also from a noble family.
At this very moment, kael was trying to decide two things, take the beatdown or rebel against them?
