"I have some bad ne-" The boy woke up, the confusion of his despair was even worse today.  He always wondered why he still had feelings for the "evil" in his life.  He always hated it, and hated that he didn't even want to try to deny those feelings.  He loved them., and he HATED that.  The boy walked out of his room and into the bathroom where he goes to bruh his teeth.  The stench of Loneliness and despair was ruthless, on top of the dirty, and the almost abandoned look of the house.  But that was of no concerns of the boy, he had more important plans.  Time to scavenge for food.

The place he looks out for the most are the alley ways with more than 3 trash cans that are filled to the brim.  The neighborhood he's in lives well, and such comes with many items, with most being utterly useless or done with.  The things that are useless or done with get thrown out into the trash cans that usually get picked up not too long after, but not before the boy can find his next meal.  He knows the exact time they come, and finds his food before it comes.  Today is a good day.  Today, he found more than half of a whole full course meal.  So obviously, the scavenge is cut short.  He'll save the food he obtain and go to school and collect the rest of the food he can get there.

"Damn he stinks...".  "Why the hell is he here?" "Let's get away from him".  Comments he usually gets when he goes to school, but that doesn't bother him.  He has more important things to worry about, and besides, they wouldn't even dare to touch him when everyone knows that he has a case of Monsterization. School is easy for him, he never really struggled in school.  School was easy and the food was alright.  School time was the only time he was ever able to relax.  He always thought that he was only able to hang onto his sanity for this long because of the break school gave him. But of course, he has to go back to his daily struggles after school ends.  When he got home, he found a note on his front door.  Out of curiosity, he took it inside with him.

After laying down on the ground, he opened the note:  "Hello...".  After reading the whole note, he found out that it was an invitation to a school.  MH High in fact.  The boy questioned to himself whether that school was the same school that was accepting both humans and Monsters.  After some time, the boy found himself getting tired, and didn't want to spend anymore time on it, and had put the paper away before heading into his room to go sleep...

"Repeated hits, yelling, and DESPAIR.  Tears falling down his face, yelling forcing itself into his ear like an intruder, a shadow gloomed over him, like it did many times before.  A shadow ready to spread it's evil, ready to prey on another one of his failures.  His Evil, is approaching once more,"

The boy woke up in cold sweat with eyes filled with fear and an expression on his face that's screaming "help".  After calming down, he realizes that it's close to 9PM.  He usually goes into the woods, where nobody can see him to train.  The boy gets dressed and heads out.  The forest is far, almost an hour away.  The boy brought a bottle of water with him for when he gets tired and needs something to drink to cool himself down.

Not even 20 minutes into the walk, he sees a group of people acting weird.  The boy tried to ignore it, but his curiosity was too much.  They started walking into an abandoned warehouse.  The boy was hesitant, but still followed them nonetheless, the group of people caught on  that he was following them a while ago.  The  group of people, which turned out to be a group of thugs, aimed guns at the boy the second he appeared at the entrance.

The boy was startled, but had good reflexes from all of his training. "Ten No Kyoku" The boy yelled. A pole popped out that the boy used to deflect the bullets away from him.

"GET HIM!" One of the thugs said.

"Ten No Kyoku: Extend" The boy said. The pole extended and pierced one of the thugs stomach. If it was done with a little more strength, it would've went straight through the thug's body. The thugs were shocked.
