The first years in school were hard for Antarés, he had no friends, he was silent all day. The teachers didn't like that so they are forcing him to speak in class but that didn't help him make some friends.

Every other kid thinks he's a freak, no one wants to approach him.

He's becoming asocial.

One day, it was raining during the break time, so no one was allowed to play in the school ground.

Antarés was sitting in the corner alone.

A kid approaches him and says

"D..do y..y..ou p..p...pl..l...lay...y...y....y vidd...d...d..e..eo...o...o g..ga..ame...es"

This kid had talking problems because of his lack of confidence, he was bullied by other kids from a very early age.

"Yes I play video games, actually I play them every day."

"nn ..ii..c..e w..e c..a..n b..e friends!!"

"I would be happy but what's your name"

"sorry aaabouut thaaat, leeet'ss staaa..."

"My name is Antarés"

"Hoooojiiiii"

"Nice to meet you Hoji"

"toooo"

"But why are you speaking like this?"

"iit'sss psssychooologiic, my theeeraaapy tooold meee that I haave laaaack of coonnfiddence"

"Ow Sorry about that, which kind of video games do you play?"

"FPPPSS, MMMOOOORRPGGGGG and Moooobaaaaa!!"

"Nice, I play Moba too, which game do you play often?"

"Liiiggaa oooofff Herrroes"

"Ow! I play that too, we should do duos sometimes, give me your nickname"

"Suuure, Thee ggreeenn reeapper"

"Write it please"

The kid wrote " The_green_reaper" on a small piece of paper and gave it to Antarés.

"We are friends now, don't be shy when we speak"

"Oookkk"

"I think the rain gonna stop soon, but unfortunately, the break is going to end soon."

"Bby thee wwayy ,whiiich Classs aree youuu innn"

"This one over there"

"oook"

"Let's meet after school"

"yeee goooooddd iddeaaaa"

"see you in front of the school at 1800 then"

"ooooookkkk"

Class was boring to Antarés, first they are too easy, nothing is special and there's no fun, the teachers are trying to make kids memorize things that's all. He had no friends in his class.

So he's staying alone in the last row

"Hey freak!" says a kid

Antarés stares at him

"Hey, I saw you with the other freak in the break."

Antarés keep starring at him.

"I'm talking to you freak!! reply!"

"Hey what's happening over there?" says the teacher

"Antarés is trying to talk to me, he wants me to be his friend, I told him that I want to focus in class"

"Antarés you are suspended from class, go out"

"But I did nothing wrong"

"Go out!!!"

Antarés goes out.

After 5 minutes, the same kid who lied asked to go to the bathroom.

They found each other in the hall, the kid approach Antarés and hit him in the stomach. Antarés didn't react to that and kept going away, but the kid hit him again and again until Antarés is on the ground. That didn't stop the kid from hitting him again.

Antarés's temperature is getting up, his energy is charging.

In a blick of a second, he knocked the kid down and threw him away 10 meters.

The principal was patrolling the hall at that moment, he saw the kid lying on the ground.

"Sir, Antarés knocked me down because the teacher suspended him from class"

"ANTARES, IN MY OFFICE NOW!!!!" says the principal

Antarés is till, in shock, he never saw himself using his powers, it was unintentional, self-defense.

He follows the principal to his office and tries to convince him that he's innocent and what he did was just self-defense from violence and bullying, but the principal didn't buy it. So Antarés have detention now, he needs to go to school in the weekend.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

It's 1800, the school is other today, Antarés meet Hoji in front of the school.

"whhhaaaaat haaappppeenneed too yoouuu, youuu seeeem uppseet."

"Some kid hit me and I got detention"

"whhaaat abooooouuut the kid?"

"he went away with nothing"

"That's very unnnnffffaaaaiirr"

"Well it's in the past now, don't forget to log in later"

"Yeah ofcouuurse"

"This is my bus Bye"

"Bbye"

Antarés enter bus while noticing that his friend condition is getting better, he's speaking more fluently now.

Bad luck for him, he found the kid who did make a fight with in the bus.

"The freak got detention hahahaha," says the kid

Everybody is laughing.

Antarés stays calm and sits in the back of the bus

He's home now. He goes to his room, turn on his computer and log in, send a friend request to Hoji

Insa accepts Hoji was waiting for him to log in.

They are starting a game, Antarés is playing top while Hoji bot.

The game was easily dominated by the enemy team. but Antarés and his new friend did some backdoor and made his team win the game.

"Wow, it was nice, I thought we gonna lose there"

"It was close, you played good, good game."

"I see that your condition went away."

"Yes it did , I'm feeling better than, I think it's easier to talk through a machine , we don't do human contacts"

"Dinner is ready!" says the mother

"I need to go eat , be right back" says Antares

"ok"

----in the kitchen----

he sits on the table , his mother is bringing to him a slice of lasagna, his favourite food.

"So how was school kids?"

"It was fine," says the brother

"too here," Says the sister

"What about you Antarés"

"it was good"

"You don't seem ok, tell me what really happened"

He stays calm.

"Ok , don't talk, at the end , you are losing here, you need to get all negativity out"

"A kid hit me in school, and I got detention"

"Who dares to hit my little brother, tell me his name and I will give him a lesson tomorrow"

"No don't do that son , we don't respond violence with violence, I will go see the principal tomorrow"

Antarés finishes his meal fast and goes back to his room.

"I'm back"

"Welcome back Antarés"

"Let's play another game"

"Yeah sure"

they played the game (Liga of heroes) all night.

They will probably sleep in class.

Which happened to only Hoji, Antarés skipped school that day, his mother saw him sleeping, she didn't bother him, because it's better sleeping than getting bullied in school, and went to the principal to figure out what happened yesterday.

"Hello Mr. Principal, my son Antarés got detention yesterday, he told me that a kid hit him, I want to see the story from your perspective."

"Of course Mme. So I was patrolling the hall yesterday, and I found a kid on the floor, your son knocked him down, that's the reason he got detention"

"What about the other kid, did he get detention too?"

"No, he's innocent, your son hit him."

"Innocent? I see evidence of my son's body that he got hit by someone."

"Sorry I didn't notice that"

Actually, he did notice that, but the kid who hit Antarés was a little special, he was the son of a political leader. That's how the corruption work, someone gets benefits from other people because they think he's special or because they are gaining from that.
