9 years ago.... Veymins Private Highschool

The reason I take away peoples powers.....

Leilah's POV 


"Leilah! What are you thinking? The restriction of powers?! Have you gone mad?!"

It was the King, furious at my decision... Restricting any powers to be activated as a Veymins student. 

I never understood why the students, especially the high-tiers have a problem with my decision. They never get bullied anyway... So what's the big deal? 

"Yes... Do you have a problem with that, Falcon?"

"Do I have a problem? Every Royal has a problem with this!"

I immediately grabbed Falcon by the shirt collar and pushed him against the wall *bam!*

"I don't give a shit what the 'Royals' think... I'm the strongest at the moment, so be a good student and follow my rules" I said with my eyes glowing a bright emerald green

"Urgh..... you lucky late-bloomer bitch..."

I ignored Falcon's words... Knowing that he still wouldn't be able to do anything regardless, and left our private conversation at that

During my time as the Queen at Veymins, it was literally the most peaceful moments of my life. But of course, some students dared to abuse their powers behind my back... And everytime I caught one of them, their reactions are always the same

"L-Leilah!??? I'm so s-sorry... I won't do it again I promise!"

"Why did you use your powers?" I said starring the student coldly

"I d-don't know what came over me...."

"Since you want to use powers so much... I'll give you a taste of your own medicine" 

I activated my powers... Giving him exactly what he deserved. Bullying a student and disobeying my rules was the last straw

"N-no please!!!"

.....

Since then, the school was free of bullies. Every students, regardless of their tiers, can walk freely without fear. Canteens, libraries, courtyards, and hallways were as peaceful as ever

But... It all flopped down by the time I graduated. It's as if the students had built up all their hatred for this one moment. Making the abuse more brutal than ever

 They don't deserve the powers that they have. The world doesn't need them

Powers are only there to cause ruckus. I tried my hardest to make the school peaceful, which I succeeded when I was Queen. But... I guess the other high-tiers never agreed to my resolve after all this time

Even after the peacefulness I gave them. It really shows how they are all garbage human beings

It was then I decided to take away powers from people

If one school can be peaceful without powers, then surely the world can be better as well...


Present day, 10:57 AM, School Hallways

John's POV


Leaving the classroom after a class, I see Sera waiting for me in the distance

"Hey Sera... what's up?" 

"John... I heard the news this morning. What will you do now?" Asked Sera

*sigh* I guess news just never fails to spread fast

"Me?... Uhm, nothing" 

"But, you tried so hard to hide your identity for all this time... You sure you're okay?"

Does she really not know the real reason I tried so hard hiding it?

"Sera, I've come to this point because I was only hiding it from you... But now that you know, theere's no more reason for it" I said with genuine smile and relieve

"Is there really no other reason?"

"Nope.... Hey you know what this means? We can finally go to the rooftop again!"

***


Making our way to the rooftop, we found ourselves walking carelessly in the middle of the hallway... Filled with many students around, putting their distance from us

Or to be more accurate... Putting distance from the 'Joker'

"Sera, look at them... It only feels like yesterday they were looking at us like garbage. Now they don't even dare to look"

Of course, Sera realized it too... and she realized it's not because of her

"They're not scared of us... they're scared of you"

"You know what the worst thing is?" I asked with the look of disgust towards the others "It's that we can't treat them the same way as they treated us... Apparently every other students except high-tiers can do whatever they want without any consequences!"

"I know what it feels like now... But that's just the way it is"

"Don't you hate the system, Sera? It's full of flaws and everyone is somehow okay putting up with this crap"

I suddenly heard some students whispering behind our backs

"Why is he so brutal?"

"He's putting the school's reputation at risk"

I turned around and went to them

"Eek! He's coming this way!" I grab one them by the shirt collar

"You hypocrite little bitch.... If you've got something to say, say it to my fucking face" I said while I have my golden eyes glowing

The student was sweating furiously... But suddenly, I came back to my senses from a touch on the shoulder

"John... Being violent yourselves doesn't make you any better than them. Let's just go, Ok?"  

Sera said it with a half-hearted smile... It's as if she was also tempted to shut them all up. But she held back knowing that she was just a powerless student

What was I thinking? All I did was encouraging Sera to be violent... I wonder how Sera would feel if she gets her powers back

Will she end up like me? Revenge on others who treated her like trash? Or will she find her way back as the old Seraphina...

Living as a cripple is different than living 'pretending' to be a cripple... 

Only herself can endure her own pain and emotions

"Right... I'm sorry"
