The Fairy Miraculous

Side Story: How Brainiac got akumatized

Gerald Nomer was sitting at his desk in Collage Banane Jaune. He wasn't in the best of moods, because he was receiving his test score in a few minutes. He had never been the best student, so his mom decided that if he failed one more test, then he would be banned from electronics for the rest of the school year. This was incredibly harsh for him, because he loved video games. He sighed, knowing that he would soon receive the number that determined his fate.

A few minutes later, the teacher started calling out names. Steven Shopbin, Harry Sue, Jessica Lurve, Sally Fridley, and then, after a moment of suspenseful torture, Gerald Nomer was called. The teacher gave a frown when looking down at his paper. He glanced at the paper.

Gerald groaned, and told the teacher that he needed to go to the bathroom. After he left the room, instead of going to the bathroom, he went out into the courtyard. He slumped on a bench.

Why was he so bad at tests? Why did he get such a bad grade, after studying so hard? Why did the teacher give him such a bad grade? Why did his mom put so much pressure on him? He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice a small black butterfly flying towards the pencil in his hand. All of a sudden, he heard a strange voice in his head.

"Brainiac, I am Hawkmoth. I'm gifting you with the power to take other's intelligence for yourself. You may use this power how you like, but first, you must bring me Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous."

The newly dubbed Brainic nodded, with a gleeful smile on his face. Then he bolted off to the streets.

"NO!", Hawkmoth roared. He was supposed to be the winner, not these brainless brats. He scowled as his lair closed.

Gerald groaned as he was lectured by his mother, who had been talking for at least an hour, or maybe that was just what it felt like. Either way, she really knew how to dole out punishments!

"Gerald, are you listening to me!? Young man, if you do not explain what has caused you to get such abyssal grades, then I will ground you for life, do you hear me?!"

"I'm sorry mom, I guess I'm just distracted, you know I don't handle stress well, and throwing me into a prestigious academy with very high expectations will never work out well. I guess I have talent in a pretty bad area, huh. Well, I guess I'll just have to bear-"

After that, his mom had thrown herself onto him, sobbing about how sorry she was for pushing him to far, and that all she ever wanted was for him to be happy.

Gerald sweat dropped at his mother's antics, and decided that if he could not switch schools, then he would to his best to succeed, if only for his over emotional mother...
