The Boy of Blue Flames

The Transfer Student

It was an odd time of the year and our class teacher had brought some news for us.

We had a new transfer Student who was joining our class.
We all found it pretty strange for a person to join this late in the year.
The teacher made it clear to us that there's nothing suspicious about it though.

She called " You can come in now"
And we heard the door slide for what we saw was a boy about my age that is close to completeing 15 years of living. He was around 6 feet tall and was rather thin but somehow handsome.

The one thing that caught my eye was the somewhat light blue eyes that he had.
He said in a pretty soft and low pitched voice " my name is Mark Coller. Hope to have a good time... studying.... with all of you"

"Take your seat next to the window in the last row. If you have any questions regarding anything please make sure with your neighbour alright?"
He nodded and went to take his seat.
I heard the bell rang.
I went over to introduce myself to the newbie.
"My name is Simon burns. Niće to meet you Mark." I said with a smile.

He replied " yea nice to meet you too"
It was once I went close to.him did I even notice how his blue èyes were,
It was like just of a light shade of blue yet had quite the presence on his face.

I heard the lunch bell ring and asked the newbie " wanna eat lunch together? I know a special place"

He nodded his head in agreement and we went out of the classroom and went straight for the canteen only to see a huge crowd already gathered for the canteen special burger.

After a lot of hard work we both sat down in the balcony at the end of the corridor munching down on our hard earned burgers. The place's existence was known only to a few others including me.

Well things were going pretty normal until something happened.

We heard a huge blast which almost threw me off and it shook the earth.

I immediately got up and saw all around us.
Not a cloud of smoke.
The blast was a bit too powerful to be something that burns without emitting smoke.
I saw the newbie who just got up after finishing his burger.
His eyes still showed no sign of fear.
He put his hands on the railing of the balcony and jumped.

I screamed out his name " mark what are you doing!!"
He jumped and hit the ground a bit smoother than I had expected, for I thought that the blast had driven him to suicide.
I decided to follow mark and went down the stairs.
As I hit the ground floor I saw mark.
He was covered in flames. Magnificent Blue Flames which I had never seen before.
The other students just didn't seem to notice mark and his blue flames.
They just walked past like nothing is happening.
I was pretty confused.
A 15 year old boy engulfed in blue flames yet didn't burn.
I saw him raise his hand and opened his palm. Blue Flames sprouted from the centre of his palm that took the shape of something like a burning stick.
He jumped off the ground to dodge something.
Something like an attack from another person.
I looked to see who it was only to be confused as to what it was.

It looked pretty ugly. It had a face of an irregular shape and had two hands which were pretty large and was out of proportion with the face.
The body was of a darker shade and was pretty well built.

Well the monster kind of species had an axe in its hand with which it was trying to hit mark.
Fortunate for mark the creature was pretty slow.

Mark could run around and between his feet for the creature was pretty tall like close to 30 feet.

The beam of fire he summoned from his palm finally took shape.

Out came a shiny sword which had a rather shabby hilt and was quite long.
The Blade shone beneath the sunlight for mark charged towards the monster.

He held his sword like as if it were some toy of his.
His sword too was covered in blue flames.
The monster raised its right arm to chop down mark with his axe, but mark gave the quickest response and jumped into the air and cut off his right arm before the monster even knew.
I could say that Mark was pretty experienced with the Blade and that he had been using for quite a long time now.
The monster roared in pain and yet the people didn't seem to care. They just walked past as if it was a dog that was barking for no reason.
Mark didn't give the monster a chance to recover from the loss of his arm.
He quickly slipped between his legs and jumped into the air and pierced his sword into the monster's back and pulled the Sword down till the ground.
The monster's eyes became blank and it fell to the ground with a huge thud.
I stood dumbstruck and still and over me came a doubt if Mark was actually who he was.
Mark then turned to me.
The monster in the background suddenly turned to dust and flew away with the wind.
Mark came over to me and said calmly "let's go back to eating our burgers"
"who are you actually or rather what are you? Slaying some monster with blue flames and a sword that is like total old fashion?  Or Am I still dreaming?"
Mark was pretty surprised " you could see it?"
"Clear as daylight"
He paused for a minute and said boldly with a smile on his face.
"My name is Mark Coller. Nice to meet you Simon.
