__________

They say he was toxic and violent, even going to the extent to state that he's worth killing whoever met him, whoever.

They weren't wrong.

But the story didn't start on the campus itself, it was a loooong story. Before the actual birth of the brutal demon, not the literal but close to it, very close.

Xentric Academy, An almighty and secretive Private School located in the same big town where everyone knew what it meant to get enrolled and graduate from the top 3 campuses, was one of the top, but you know what, the higher the reputation, the less it likely to be clean and all kissed by God, it was impossible to see what happens inside those Giant walls, nobody knew.

What kind of student gets enrolled there? What kind of study system is followed, how do several students get thrown back to their homes or found plain dead probably taking substances and killing themselves?

It wasn't an ideal time but after 100 years had passed, it was like any next campus but still prestigious and expensive, but before that? You don't wanna meet the rotten soul who happened to study in that prestigious hell, it wasn't all that glorious and eye candy, the starting 20 years of campus were like a silent heaven until the demonic and worth-crushing families started to get involved as the campus turned out lot known and it turned to Private with the group of Unknown Elites.

Throwing billions and zillions of humanly possible money on that 2-acre large Academy.

Eventually, the time came when he
was born.

"It's a boy!" The Midwife yelled in joy.

The pretty and fragile lady lay on the bed and cried her eyes out in slight fear and sappiness, her finger trembled in utter love, loss and relief.

My child will be alive.

She tried to touch him but was too weak, she kept smiling at the newborn baby, but her weak eyes couldn't hold the warm motherly tears burning out from them.

The baby's hair was thick and covered his head.

He cried and his fist balled over the fabric of the midwife as she took it away from his mother.

She halted when the lady grabbed her dress in urgency, she hadn't seen her newborn child.

Midwife stared at the lady for almost 2 quick seconds before trying to let go of her hold, she somehow got free from her grasp as retreated herself with the baby boy.

The lady closed her eyes in sorrow and defeat as she cried in the silent room internally, her heart bled to see her one and only son.

I hadn't given him a name.

After cleaning him and wrapping him in fabric, the midwife stared at the baby, he was unreal.

The Estate of Storm Mansion was tense and dead until the Midwife started walking out from the giant door. The guard closed it behind her and she ran straight towards Mr. Alaric Storm, the father of the baby boy, who showed no emotions as he picked the baby in his hand and stared at him.

"Is he healthy?"

"Yes!"

"And alive?"

"Huh? I mean, Yes Mr. Storm! He is a beautiful baby, I had never seen such a fine baby before, he is magnificent and a symbol of Beauty!"

He stared at the baby as he added - "You still use that kind of words? What about me? Didn't you say the same thing when I was born?" Now he looked a bit mad over her as she flinched and her lips curled back to a thin line as she nervously stepped back and waited for him to tell her what to do next.
