2024-10-29 19:42:56Chapter 8: A Gift from the Asphoes
Lucas 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

Chapter 9: Those Worthy Negotiations"Blaze… Blaze Harper…"A calm voice heard to be calling Lucas. It was calmly horrifying! It was like a voice that was so deep that it started to hoarse. Not just that. It felt like it has a vocoder that added to its texture."Blaze Harper… of White D—!"In the hallway of the White Day High's ground floor.Lucas stood straight with his head bowed. Mister Vacio surely will use his power to treat people as his pets. This trick of him was widely known all over Aspho, but no one would dare to spit the truth. They had all the power to shut a single mouth."Blaze Harper, we believe that you have great potential for the upcoming tournament. We would like to re-invite you to our school."Lucas felt a sudden thud inside his chest. Were they for real? He knew Aspho High more than anyone

Chapter 10: Prove Your Godly PotentialOn the day of Lucas' proving.Many of the White Day High's students have gathered around the school's gymnasium, wanting to catch a glimpse of the action.Principal Lyns didn't stop Lucas with whatever plan he has in mind but she canceled all the training this day to hold the occasion.In her words: "Lucas, you think proving yourself having Godly Potential is easy? Hard work would never be enough. You need to possess a high amount of magic power and agility to sustain it. Also, you were just a transferee and your skills were newly discovered. But still, show me the extent of your skills. I'm rooting on you."Lucas didn't let any objections arise. He respectfully bid Lyns farewell and headed to his apartment with Moon. The usual habits he was used to —sleeping, scrolling through phone, waking up— wasn't the habit he ended up with

Chapter 11: The Fire EvaluationLucas held his right hand that was way too exhausted to continue the fight. It felt like it has broken bones due to the baseball bat hit earlier.He panted hard as he started to create fires with his left hand and rushed towards the monsters in front of him. They stopped doubling in number and now, they were almost fifty in total.Every man stroked him with their bats as he evaded each of them with difficulty, yet he delivered his punch to three of those men. They were backed off for a second, but they relentlessly attacked him with grit and fury.Lucas and the gargantuan continue their struggles against one another. However, none of those men displayed faintness or exhaustion."We liked your passion…" one of the gargantuan men commented, their faces provoking Lucas.Lucas decided to shield himself with some circular fir

Chapter 12: His Right ArmEveryone turned towards the voice.In the row of judges, Shad Cagney was sitting with his hands clasped. Lucas gave him a narrow stare. What would this freak do this time?He was such a pain in the ass right before he was an Aspho High Student. He opined all people that will come in his ways that hindered his and Vacio's plans. Right now, what plan did this freak has on mind?"Lucas was good, just about achieving the standard that the Two Bastions have set in…" Shad Cagney slowly opined. "But, don't you think he is simply being a no-go? The powers were just too high. You consider someone like this having Godly Potential?"The gymnasium was silent after hearing Shad's views. On the stage, Lucas remained calm from the outside, but inside, he was furious. He treated Shad well in the past, just as he treated Vacio with respect before anyth

Chapter 13: Meeting Mister CliveLucas was still trying to figure it out when Principal Lyns went on. Who would be that Coach Clive? He remembered he'd heard that name from Principal Lyns but he can't recall when it was.He decided to lay on his bed and grabbed his phone from the small cabinet beside his bed with his left hand. He almost hit the lit lampshade that was inches away from his phone. It caused pain in his right arm. He removed his cast because it felt like it was treated too much. He didn't need something like casting for such an injury like this.He checked his mail he expected that no one messaged him. In fact, it was no new thing. Who would check up on him except Moon? Apart from him, he has no person now that he was close to.But he was wrong. Some unknown emails were sent to him. He checked one of them. It was from @cunningham.kyle saying, "I've watched you perform with your Godly Po

It was his parents Death Anniversary, on the thirteenth day of September.Doll gave him a sight of sympathy. "It was sad, but we have to keep going forward, towards the future," she stated to Moon. "If we're stuck from the past, we will never be able to move on."Moon started to massage his temples and sniffed with his nose. "You don't understand, Doll. It was still hard to accept it." he cried. "They died and they deserved it!""Moon, aren't you being overboard?" she curiously inquired. "Don't say that your parents deserved their deaths. They love you, aren't they?""They didn't!""How come?" she asked. "How can I understand you if I don't know what had happened?"Moon looked at her. It was hard for him

Chapter 15: The Skill SelectionThe trainees in the large hall gathered in small groups, excitedly discussing the selections. The schedule where it was held began this day. It has been days after Lucas has shown his Godly Potential.He has nowhere to sit on as he noticed most of the students heading towards this large hall. Before the wide door, a sign was posted on the front, saying that the Skill Selection will only be held inside this hall.Walking inside, he noticed lots of seats beside the wall, but all of those were occupied by nervous students trying to cease their nausea. Some were cheering themselves, some were cheering others. Three to five wandering coaches were talking to some students, and giving them a piece of paper.He tried inspecting what those papers were, and he learned it was a draw lot that has a number on it. It will maintain the order on what class should go on first, second,

Chapter 16: Moon and Doll Evaluated Moon stared at Principal Lyns after she had said that the next part with be an intense battle segment. He glanced over to his classmates and he felt their nervousness even from afar. Intense battle referred to the different foundation battle styles that were used in different selections on a regular basis. The evaluators would randomly pick combatants to test the students' fighting abilities. This would be a pain. He didn't plan out that something like this would happen. What was Principal Lyns meant when she said intense? Wasn't it just someone on one battle? They were six within the class, and picking up something like one on one will not cost too much time to them. Given that they were picking students to represent White Day, Moon thought that the intense battle style would be more toward the Division's incredible standard. However, the combatants that Principal Lyns p

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

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

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

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

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
