School was on another level here, everyone was rude, and they all bragged about their skills and honor.
On the first day he entered school, Isiah learned that he had no honor to defend.
Then, and only then, Isiah knew the reason behind every action his parents had done for the past seven years; they didn't even enter him to school with kids his sa age.
Apparently, they were hesitant about that step, and they gave him permission just because of one of the teachers there.
The truth was that he had a brother, an amazing one too. The prodigy of Delwias island, the only one who was able to top the strongest mages here when he was six, He had beco the strongest person on the island after that.
Lucas was a high-ranked mage that everyone respected and cherished; he was the pride of the whole island, not just his family. He was that lovely kid that everyone seed to love and care about until he did sothing unforgivable.
Instead of leveling up to the higher region, he chose to stay there and ss with the island's core.
Everyone was sure that his brother had so top secret information that no one knew or heard about here, which is why he could do what he did.
That cute little kid turned into a monster one day that everyone feared in this region.
No one knew how he did it, but the result spoke of his diabolic activities.
Lucas was the reason why this world had already fallen apart; he was the one who opened the gate to the world beyond and was the one who summoned these dark creatures that killed people rcilessly.
His only brother was the monster of this world; that's why his parents raised Isiah in a bubble, not allowing him to be in contact with other people growing up or even learn how to use magic like every other kid.
He never noticed the fear in their eyes; it must have been a terrifying experience raising him after a failing experience with his brother.
Now he knew what they feared in him, to the point where they enjoyed keeping him blind, and he hated that.
The years in his school were brutal to the point where he wanted to quit several tis, but one of the teachers there kept pushing him year after year.
She was a beautiful woman with a very kind heart. Indeed, she never looked at him as a monster, and she always treated him right, even when he acted like a bastard in most of her classes.
Isiah had so much trouble in his school; people always seed to call him a 'monster' or 'the murderer's brother,' and so were bold enough to call him 'the killer in progress.'
Those many nicknas hurte him a lot, he hadn't done anything, but he had to take the bla, their hate was proliferating a day after another, and the only thing he could do was keep studying until sothing might change.
When he turned sixteen, he asked his father to teach him magic; it was the first ti he had asked him that.
His school had two programs; the first program was to teach them advanced Alchemy, Botany, Literature, and History.
The second program was all about magic, yet his school's headmaster banned him from attending that class, despite his teacher's persistence in giving him a chance.
Later he also knew that his parents signed a contract from above to prevent him from using magic so that they would be free to live .
Isiah tried to keep his calm all those years because he had to live a good life, but they left him no choice, he certainly wasn't a saint, and for once, he wanted to destroy that school upon their heads.
The bullying from his classmates was tolerable because, over the years, he had developed a physical strength that no one seed to want to test, but people's stares were the hard part; they always talked behind his back and even when he was listening.
No one seed to care enough to stop the harmful bullying, and he was getting sick of it .
The day Isiah reached out to his father like a normal kid and asked him to teach him magic because he might need it, his dad yelled at him like a crazy person and lost control while saying, "Magic? No... No... No… You can't fool kiddo! Why do you need to learn magic if you are going to be a woodsman? You can't fool kid, magic isn't sothing that soone like you can use carelessly!"
Isiah protested. "Why? Are you afraid that I might kill the rest of the people this ti? Believe in dad… I won't miss it, if i want to, it's easy even without magic!"
His dad reached forward, slapping his face, then replied, "You shaless bastard, I knew it, I knew it… You are just like that monster… You are like that devil… Even with living in sha, we managed to survive all these years, and now you want to bring us to our end, right?"
"Where is Lucas?" Isiah asked.
"Why? Do you think he will embrace you when you et him? Do you think that he will hug you and pat your head? Don't be ridiculous kid, your diabolic brother will kill you the mont he sees you!" Johnathan shouted.
"Why? Why are you so certain that he'll do that?" Isiah argued.
Johnathan shouted at him, saying, " Because he didn't care about us when he opened the gates of hell in this region. Your brother tried to eradicate us too!"
Isiah was too confused about his dad's way of speaking to him, he was hurt, yet he wanted to clear everything up before doing anything
, "I thought that you and mom were different, I thought that you above all cared a little about , but it seems I was mistaken! You hate my brother and you wanted a replacent for your lost child prodigy, but instead, you got soone who looked like him, and you ended up hating too!"
"Isiah!" His father called out to him.
"I can't stand looking at you!" Isiah muttered.
