Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 1: Clash at the School Office
Chapter 1: Clash at the School Office The paintings on the School Office wall were new. The madness of a summer prairie within the two men who occupied through the ample space came through. One at a table, one sitting on a chair in front of it —that was an almost perfect setup for an interrogation. It was serenely silent, and those two men looked like they were silently fighting. Their stares were sharp and provoking. The man at the table leaned his back on his chair and slightly moved the pen he was holding. "So tell me," he stared blankly at the young boy. He has an age of a dad, more mature to look at. He has the authority of those professional types who have worked hard for themselves. His skin has this dark tone, a tan that suited his aura. "How did you start the fire?" he continued and expressed a little anger with his voice. "Who helped you
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 2: Bus Ride to the School
Chapter 2: Bus Ride to the School Yes, it was true that Lucas Martin did start the fire at Aspho High's Canteen. He was indeed a Fire Starter, but after that, he was shocked that he was able to do so. Only with the mere thought of finding out he can create a fire that can be utilized with his palms, Lucas can only felt that his world may change with this sudden revelation. Throughout his orphan life, he grew up wanting to be a good and independent man that was capable of surviving this world full of challenges. He also wanted to protect his cousin Moon, who was also an orphan at a young age just like him. If he can start a fire and use it as defenses and offenses at the time of stakes, he can protect anyone whom he treasured —Moon, at this very moment. But that wasn't what Lucas thought in the early stages of finding out what ability he has in this world where magic can
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 3: Welcome to White Day High!
Chapter 3: Welcome to White Day High! Lucas had his feet inside the school's gateway. He stood his ground, with eyes as wide as the gateway beside him. His ecstatic feeling was so massive that his heart was pounding so fast. He stared at the whole area his eyes can ever reach. Those huge prompter monitors that posed billboards about students' achievements, were too many. Those high story buildings that were so high that they began fading away onto the clouds, unbelievable! Those students walking in and out of the scene… It was the real White Day high he used to hear. Nostalgia hit Lucas all of the sudden. He reminisced how he entered Aspho High before. If it wasn't because of Moon, he wouldn't have had any chance of entering a school, especially the renowned Aspho High. However, this school was so prestige, that for Lucas, it was more of a mansion or a kingdom than just an academy. Canopies w
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 4: The Fire Class Room
Chapter 4: The Fire Class Room Slowly walking to spend his time building up the excitement that he has, Lucas held the doorknob and opened Room 3004. The feeling of an opened room that was air-conditioned greeted Lucas' nerves that left him with goosebumps. Fuzzy feeling wanted to explode and be evident with his face but he has to keep his calm demeanor present still. First impression lasts was his belief in life. As Lucas entered the room, his eyes wandered onto the empty and unbusy space, and his expectation into chaos has revved down into disgust. He stared in awe as he saw no one starting any fire. Instead, three men were there, doing nothing. Two of the three men occupying the room were just sleeping. Their sweated shirts were evident that the practice time had passed, and it was sure as hell a break time for them. They may be laying down out of exhaustion. The roo
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 5: Famous Swords Woman
Chapter 5: Famous Swords Woman "Miss Winter, no!" That loud shout resonated inside Lucas' ears. Seeing a small girl will be brutally assaulted by a woman, he can no longer take it. White Day High should be taught by a lesson using the Fire Starter way. Using his remote instincts and his fast retaliation, Lucas stopped the sword by grabbing it with his right hand, throwing it away from them, as he looked and gaze sharply at the woman. His reflexes were fast. Filthy student… She was out of her mind about starting this commotion… In her response, she was unmoved. Not even a single clue that she was scared was evident. They stood in the middle of the hallway, standing at the rails that were placed on the floor. Ghaile felt frightened still, as the woman ran fast and grabbed Lucas' hand, and with a quick tussle, threw him away! "
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 6: Same Incident from Before
Chapter 6: Same Incident from Before It has been days since Lucas have transferred into White Day High. He started to familiarize the whole setup of the school. He can wander willfully without someone he would ask questions as to where was the Office, where were the Facilities, where was the Faculty Room… It was now lunchtime. Everyone from the school was heading in the same direction as Lucas, Moon, and Doll chatted as they walked— well, it was mainly Lucas doing the talking and two were listening to him in silence. Doll began accompanying the two of them since she was always alone. After leaving their fancy car to get to class and riding it back after, no one would dare to befriend her. Lucas started noticing that they were about to head into the canteen. He felt this sense that he didn't want to feel: nostalgia. This place… it was the same place, but in White Day, wh
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 7: The Principal of White Day
Chapter 7: The Principal of White Day Lucas was called to talk. They went into the Principal's Office. Lucas was sitting just like what he did back then at Aspho High. The girl from before sat on the table. She was Principal Lyns! The whole room, the whole setup… they were quite similar. The paint of the room, the designs, the scent —Lucas has no clue why both the Principal's Office of two different schools, Aspho and White Day, would appear this similar. He was still puzzled since a canteen fire also happened at this school, the White Day High he studied on. It was a mystery why would that happen? If the Two Bastions weren't the culprit, then who would be? He just stared at how Principal Lyns laid her back comfortably on her chair. Her getup, her clothes; such eloquence… Nostalgic to think about, but here he went again for an interrogation. Before, he kept denying what
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 8: A Gift from the Asphoes
Chapter 8: A Gift from the AsphoesLucas went to his apartment and dealt with his thought overnight. He was so confused and has no one to ask for help. He didn't want to disturb Moon with handling his problems. They were cousins but that was futile and he respected his time.He became willing at joining the tournament, but now, what if his friends were there, too? And that school, that was not just a school he can neglect with a due time of less than a week. He had cherished that school ever since he was in High School.He also cherished those friends that made his Aspho years wonderful. Those years weren't just anger towards the system and anger towards Vacio. Many students were nice to him and they treat each other as family. Without Vacio in sight, it was still a reputable place.Lucas spent the night while crying, as he covered himself inside his blanket. He over cried himself and didn't know tha

Lucas noted to himself.Footsteps heard.They all looked back to witness someone going towards them.THUD! The girl that was supposed to go towards them fell onto the Ground! Lucas rushed to help her."Are you okay?!" Lucas panicked, as well as Moon and Doll. The rest of them went there to see who is that girl.The girl looked pale. She has her hip-length, blue hair. She was bruised and exhausted.----"So that Ender has the power to control others with her loud noise?" Doll asked, sitting on a boulder along with the others.The girl they met was still weak, and was still lying on their made-up bed. Moon and Ghaile were there near at her to treat her."We should check if the others were also okay.." Winter whispered."No! Let them

Chapter 43: Inside the Virtual CityThe day of the actual Overall Skill Selection came to commence. Lucas, Moon, Winter, Ghaile and Doll reside at the same spot while everyone are scattered."Only 8 Participants should be left on the Ground before we end the Selection. Those 8 will be trained and will be the part of White Day's team for the Tournament."Principal Lyns instructed the rules of the Selection. Standing in the middle of the whole city-like field. Holding a microphone, she said "It was not a one-on-one battle, nor tag battles.. It was an all-out war!""It was like what the Tournament does. Even a group of people can beat a single one if they wanted. They can hide to prevent being defeated, too.""You can be defeated anytime. You can stand again anytime you fall. But one thing is for sure.. The one who keeps standing until the end will be the one who will be selected!"Lucas listened carefully despite being nauseous yesterday. He can't sleep that night, thinking about the dan
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 42: The Suspect of That
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when I decided to go home. My Dad immediately opened up the door for me."Where did you came from?""Just there with—""What did you get with what you're doing, huh, Xia?" He was furious.How did he know?"D-Dad…""Stop what you're doing, Xia. You won't get anything out of it!" He was so angry, I couldn't stare at his eyes. "You'll just be damned there!""But, Dad...""I want you to stop! Another news about you that was related to that woman… you'll be grounded!"I no longer answered. I just nodded and went straight to my bedroom. I could understand why he was worried for me. His worry was obvious in the tone of his voice.How can I investigate further? The three suspects have been confirmed, the only one left is the latter. Who are you? Are you involved? Did you leave a trace? Why did you come back?It was hard! So many questions were in my mind until now. But how can I answer all of this when I have limited things to do?I fell asleep thinking. T
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 41: The Next Volume
As Lucas was asleep, he was unaware that The Ender was outside the apartment. She was wandering outside, chanting a different language. It sounded like a fable or a tale.The wind blew outside the apartment, at the cliff where The Ender was walking. As she held onto the grass, she continued talking about the chants she was musing over."THE HAUNTED HOUSE"She talked. Then, she began narrating."Oh, Rosy! I was told that the house you bought was haunted," said Ariana, new friend of mine.We have moved there recently, in Ariana's town and the news that greeted me was that— there was a ghost inside our house that they said was haunted. I don't believe them. It was almost a month when we got here but there was no sighting of any ghostly thing here. The thing I was afraid of was my younger brother that was always laughing."Where did you get that hearsay? You're already a college student and that spooky stories we use to scare kids was still your thing," I said, almost laughing loudly at h
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 40: Night Before the Selection
Chapter 40: Night Before the SelectionA few hours have passed since the Press Conference took place at the White Day High as well as the conversation with Lucas and Vacio. As Lucas lied on his bed, he grabbed his phone for some news he wanted to read.Bunch of onlookers are still continuing to bash him online, adding the scene he created at the meeting. Some are also blaming him for the expelling of the Two Bastions.But the cynosure of all the news article was the scene he created while brawling with Mister Vacio. That was a bad news. He didn't know what made him do that.The ruckus continued nonstop, and the stares given to him have changed, according to what he felt that time. If before, they look at him in contempt, now they were avoiding him as if they were intimidated. Lucas didn't really understand the people in this school as he covered himself with a blanket on his bed at his apartment.But what he didn’t expect was that he wasn’t punished because of the scene he made. When
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 39: The Name He Was Called
Chapter 39: The Name He Was CalledLucas stood before a coffee shop that was located near the city center of White Day. Before he even got there, he realized that Mister Vacio had already arrived. He was so punctual and having some kind of stuff late wasn't his thing.One look was enough for him to recognize Vacio. In the dim light, he was sitting quietly beside a scenery window with a pot of untouched mint tea near his hand. He slightly tilted his face towards the window and looked like he was irritated.His tuxedo was buffed and it looked like his right hand was casted. Lucas didn't know what caused his hand to be like that, but he must bet it was for the public sympathy. Since all the people believed that he was the one who caused damages to Vacio, it was easy for him to rev things up by disguising as the injured one.Outside the window, there were lush broad-leaved trees that caused him to seem warmer and petty than usual. However, Lucas knew that it was just the illusion of a res
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 38: How Do You Know It?
Chapter 38: How Do You Know It?Lucas continued walking out, but he was petrified when he heard that name. He didn't know if that was Vacio trying to piss him off, but it was a different voice.The words "Nice speech, Blaze Harper…" slowly resonated inside the hall as he stopped walking.He turned harshly to where it came from and saw a familiar man clapping with a smile from the far corner of the Conference Hall. He was greatly taken aback. He knew his haughty aura very well. He was not Mister Vacio.Isn't that Coach Clive?His memories of when he battled Vacio reappeared like sprouts. Was it true? Did Vacio say that Coach Clive knew all of the events from the past life he was saying? How come it was true?With all of the happenings interrupting her thoughts, Lucas recalled how Clive was overbearing and protective over him, significantly with the Null Room Incident. He cannot help his temper and walked back to the Conference Hall with an obvious anger.Everyone turned to look as he h
Fire Starter at White Day High Chapter 37: Drenched with Coldwater
Chapter 37: Drenched with ColdwaterLucas stopped reading those feeds and focused on training his skills as he went back to the school. For some remaining time, the Overall Skill Selection will be held.But with that afternoon, as he was readying to practice, his Official Media channel began crowding with posts demanding that he should apologize to Mister Vacio. Apart from that were posts demanding that he should leave the White Day High as well. Lucas got tired of reading all those posts, so he locked himself inside the training room and practiced his agility once again.Once finished, Doll happened to call him and asked, "Lucas, are you okay?"Lucas tried his best to relax himself and wipe his sweat inside the training room full of fallen swords and knives, as he half-leaned on the nearly-crushed wall; his fingers trailing on the swelling wound he had gotten. He replied to Doll with a sigh, "I'm good.""Do you need any help?"He heard the concern from Doll after her reply; his lips

Chapter 36: Let's Boycott Lucas Martin!After Lucas and Principal Lyns have left each other, he started parting ways with the Principal and started to walk away. In his mind, he has to see Moon. He has been acting strange since the day of Doll's abduction.As the turned right to the next chamber, a pair of hands took him next to the wall and grabbed his arm above his head. "What do you think you're doing?"Lucas saw Zanc glaring sharply at him in anger. He took a big step forward, still holding his arm.His right wrist was held in his vice-like grip and was extremely painful to him, but his eyes were cold and trained on Zanc. This was the spot where he usually assault, since he knew he was injured with this. He doted on his brown face, his left cheek was swollen.That punch he gave him; he made sure that Zanc's face will be in this condition, blood appearing at the edge of his lips. He remembered how he laid on the floor where he fell with Maru, looking pitiful and confounded.To thin
