It's been an even two years since their first day of school at The Moonshine Academy. The students, made up of the children of the League of Heroes and their friends, are now in fifth grade. The youngsters are grown up.... well, almost.


Lily is now 13 years old. Ernest is already 14 like the rest of his siblings, except for Atlas, who is 15 and the oldest of the group.


Thanks to their group of class friends: Tsireya, Lo'ak, Pedro and Neona, they were able to find their way around the Academy perfectly. But there was one but... Aonung, Neteyam, Roxto and their gang.


Lily and her siblings learned quite quickly about the true colors of these guys and found out that they were not at all as friendly as when they first met them.


Normally, they kept their distance from them, but everything was destroyed  when Aonung and his friends started bully Atlas.


-----


Atlas was sitting in the cafeteria at one of the tables reading a book. He had headphones in his ears so as not to hear the shouting and conversations of the other students. His siblings were scattered elsewhere, helping teachers, or were in the library, or were with Pedro, Tsireya, Lo'ak and Neona.


Suddenly, something hit Atlas in the back of the head. The hybrid jumped up surprised and turned his head, noticing Aonung, Neteyam, Roxto and two other boys. Atlas sighed in exasperation.


- What do you need, Aonung? - He asked and pulled one headphone out of his ears.


- Are you some kind of... freak? - Aonung asked with a weird expression on his face that resembled concern, but had a deadly sneer in it.


- He said, are you a freak? - Roxto asked with a mocking smile, repeating Aonung's words like an obedient servant.


Atlas furrowed his brow in deadpan, watching Aonung's friends burst into mocking laughter.


Atlas snorted and closed the book he was reading. - No.


He got up from the table and took the book in his hand and picked up his book bag from the floor, intending to leave the cafeteria, so he wouldn't have to listen to these retards.


- Are you sure? You're not human, not even Serpentine. - Neteyam added to the stove, watching the hybrid walking past him with a mischievous grin.


- Yeah. Look at him. Freak! - called out one of the unknown guys in the group.


Atlas rolled his eyes at them and hissed under his breath, sticking out his tongue. Then Aonung took Atlas's book from under his arm and lifted it into the air, laughing


- Give it back. - Atlas hissed, turning abruptly to him.


- And what is this? A pathetic snake reading a book about a pathetic love story? -  Aonung said with laughter.
