"Sigh.. you can't even solve this question? Oh for God's sake, your exams are in three months; are you even planning on passing them or not?"
"You know..."
Sigh...
Here he goes again... looking at the teacher standing on the podium who once again began his lecture on how we need to work harder. I couldn't help but sigh.
Seriously, does he have to repeat the same lecture every day?
In a sense, he is lecturing us for our own sake, but every fucking day? Dude, that's so annoying!
"Sigh, anyway, where was I again? Oh yeah, history of sorcerers."
"As you all are aware, the first life in the world originated from oceans in the form of monsters... The first creatures in the world, the monsters, inhabited and ruled the world before the birth of humans, who are one of the few creatures born with self-consciousness and are able to use sorcery."
"With their powerful sorcery, the humans of ancient times were able to fend off the humanity from the ferocious monsters and lay the foundation for humanity to survive in this brutal world infested with beasts capable of wielding powerful elemental abilities and other mysterious abilities."
"Like monsters, humans are also capable of wielding magical powers due to their talents, which can be either acquired or innate, which are altogether termed as sorcery... Though almost everyone can practice sorcery, according to the World Sorcerers Association, the sorcerers are collectively called to few people who are all recognized by the association after meeting their criteria."
How boring...
It is the same thing we learn from elementary school... I really don't understand any point in repeating this every fucking grade.
Looking out of the window where small black-colored bird-like creatures were flying, enjoying their lives, I couldn't help but wonder, would someday I can also fly like them without any care of the world and take a break from my boring and pitiful life?
My name is Ian Crown... currently a high schooler dreaming of becoming a sorcerer, but I guess it would just be a dream with my abilities.
In this world, everyone has the ability to perform sorcery and became a sorceror, a profession everyone dreams of becoming, but because of a lack of talents or money, not everyone could afford to be one.
In my case, it is both... I don't belong to an influential background and have awakened an innate D-graded talent, Map, an ability that is more like spatial awareness which creates a map of everywhere I go and records it while showing live feed and all I want in an area of radius 10 meters from me... an amazing ability, isn't it? But not being related to direct combat, it isn't valued much like 60 percent of all innately awakened talents.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Talents are things that one is born with or can be acquired during their lifetimes, granting their possessors supernatural abilities like controlling flames, creating ice out of thin air, and whatnot... not everyone is born with innate talents like myself, as it is considered quite lucky because if not, one needed to work very hard once they have their mana heart completely matured to be able to properly learn sorcery and basics of mana manipulation only if they can't acquire themselves some magical treasures and herbs which can grant them miraculous talents.
My talent is pretty amazing for me that is but for the world, it's not that amusing and average I guess considering the myriads of abilities there are in the world, so with my talent, it's impossible to become a sorcerer with just hard work.
There is another way to become a sorcerer, but for it, one needs to have an amazing background and millionaire family, I guess, which unfortunately I don't...
'Haha, not to mention millionaire family, I don't even have a fucking family, I guess...'
My father had already passed away after committing self-harm, and as for my mother? Who cares for that bitch? Fuck her!
"I... won't forgive any... of..."
"Hmm?"
Tilting my head in confusion, I looked towards the source of the sudden voice that broke me out of my train of thoughts.
"...Kill... You."
Sitting or I guess sleeping beside me on the seat near the window, a young man with an annoyingly handsome face muttering some incoherent words with a giant frown on his face covered with a lot of sweat.
'What's this? Is he having some sort of nightmare?'
Looking at the most infamous person in the whole school, I frowned a little because of how bad his condition looks...
'Should I just wake him up?'
Looking at the boy whom I always ignore as to avoid the eyes of bullies and that annoying bunch, I thought to myself...
Alan Lockwood, the favorite of all bullies of our school and a bootlicker of his so-called girlfriend who clearly slept with all of his bullies... an infamous trash of our school, one can say it's him.
Belonging to a poor household that struggles to meet ends needs with a sister hospitalized due to some accident and childhood friend of one of the hottest girls in our school, the person who always scores lowest in our class, with no kind of innate talent, heck, he hasn't even awakened his mana heart even at the age of 18, a talentless bastard, and the biggest loser whose only good point is his infuriatingly handsome face with slight feminine features which can make one mistake him for a girl if not for his short hair and physique.
"I will... take my revenge."
Looking down at the boy who was mumbling in his sleep, I hesitated for a bit before finally deciding and shook his shoulders a little.
"Hey... Hey, Alan."
"Uh? Huuuh?!!!!"
As soon as Ian called for Alan, he immediately shot up from his seat causing his chair to blast back creating a commotion causing the entire class to watch him like a freaking clown.
"This is the school I used to study in 10 years ago? Don't tell me... I AM BACK?!!!"
While the class watched Alan like a freaking clown, Ian wasn't paying attention to Alan's words as his eyes were fixed on the holographic screen that suddenly appeared in front of him.
