The Elemental Chronicles

School for monsters, not students.

    I was shocked when I saw the needle whiz past my head and hit the board, disappearing along with a crack that formed. The teacher sighed and said, "Zara, please stop throwing needles at new students."

Zara shrugged, "Fine, okay. I was just checking how good he is, and by that reaction, he's pretty good."

The teacher replied, "Whatever." It was infuriating; he wasn't even angry at her! If I had been one second late, my face would have turned into a donut. What kind of class is this?

The teacher turned to me and said, "Erm, Blaze, welcome to the class. You can take a seat in the second row on the right. Now, back to the topic: how to butcher rat monsters."

As I made my way to my seat, I couldn't help but wonder how learning to mutilate a rat monster would help me in life. Once I sat down, I felt a dozen eyes boring into me. I was left wondering what kind of school I had entered.

So, After class, I heard a siren and people started moving out some stayed back including the teacher who was sleeping, but I decided to stay back and think about what just happened, then behind me,2 girls were gossiping about and I seemed to be hearing what they were saying and I heard about a dude who they said was coming back from home, he has orange hair and large build and was suspended for being too violent with one of the students, that the student's face was being recognition, Wow, he got to be very strong to be able to beat 1 of the students in this school of monsters to a pulp then one of the girls said: "And do you know the most shocking part, I heard he is GAY!!",

Wow, I was shocked with what I just heard, I have never seen gays before, Hmm whatever not my concern is what I thought would happen until I found out he is in my class."

After Break 1, as the teacher continued his lesson on how to butcher rat monsters, I suddenly heard screams echoing down the hallway. I thought nothing was wrong until one of the students burst into the classroom, breathless, and shouted, "He's coming!"

A wave of pressure washed over me, unlike anything I had ever felt before. It was as if the entire building was pressing down on me. Just then, a figure walked into the room, and the boy who had run in turned to face him, exclaiming, "It's the MAD FIEND!" He darted back to his seat.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the newcomer. He had a muscular build like Stone, with striking orange hair streaked with red at the tips. He wore tattered blue jeans and a school shirt, with a jacket slung casually over one shoulder. A half-heart necklace hung around his neck, and he had gold earrings that caught the light. His hazel eyes scanned the room, and as I looked around, I noticed most students were shivering in fear. At that moment, I realized he was a monster among monsters.

The teacher glanced at him and said, "Oh, whatever it is, Leo, please go to your seat and don't be a disturbance."

Leo replied, "Yeah, teacher," his voice was deep and mature. He then turned and started walking toward me, and I was in shock. As he approached, I recalled what the girls had said about him being gay. Panic surged through me, and as he got closer, I blurted out, "I'm not gay!"

The classroom fell into stunned silence, all eyes on me. The pressure intensified as I glanced at Leo, thinking, this is it—I messed up. I braced myself for an attack, but to my surprise, Leo burst into laughter. The entire class joined in, and even the teacher was snickering.

Once the laughter subsided, The teacher called out, "Okay, enough! Keep quiet, and Leo, to your seat."

"Yes, Sir," Leo replied, plopping down next to me—something I secretly wished hadn't happened. The teacher shot me a wary look before turning back to the board, and I understood that it was a warning not to mess up again.
