Chapter 2: Gates of hell

As I entered the narrow gates to the hell called a school, I see teachers telling students to wear their uniform properly, students trying to cover up any stupid thing they do as soon as the teacher enters, and the girls fawning upon the most consequential bully I have ever seen.

I have never myself talked to this person, but I have seen almost everything he does, from beating up people for no reason to almost killing a guy because he liked his woman and wanted her, throwing literally acid on people, and getting off scot-free because his father was an influential man.

I hate everything about him from his muscular body to his elegantly handsome face to his disgusting ideology of him being greater just because he has some extra coins and his ability to convince everyone that he is an innocent, innocent child. It gets on my nerves.

Luckily I have never been in his conspiracies or ever talked to him. I went through to my class as the day went on. Lunchtime finally came about as everyone was forming a line the smell of the warm food wafted all over the dining hall and guess what Oji, the bully was right behind me with the group of girls fawning on him behind him. He gave a wide, disturbing, and eerie smile, and he demands in the softest way possible, "mind letting me move through." "Sorry I do not want to," I reply with the same wide, disturbing, and eerie smile that he gave off and also in the same tone.

"That's ok," he responds in a very scruffy and irritated tone. "You will regret this," he says in the lowest tone possible so that only I could hear it. After a few hours of sleep-inducing school work, I dragged myself through the school gate, ready to haul my self home after a few minutes of walking, I see Oji blocking my path. I see him grinning like a demon ready to hunt its prey.

It was just him in the middle of a barren road that was being constructed by the government to reduce the traffic. It was a spacious road with bricks, dust, cement everywhere making it look like an abandoned road. The problem is that Oji is a boxer. And I am a weak person with no physical ability. Unless... Unless... I RUN!!!!!

This was a stupid idea considering that boxers are quite fast because they run a lot for practice so he would be quite fast, at least faster than I am. By the time I could even picture escaping, Oji catches up, gets into his stance, and thrusts his fist onto my face as I hear the crack of a bone in my nose as blood drips down onto my white shirt and it becomes a blood-red mark as I fell headfirst onto the pathway.

"Why are you doing this," I urged in pain. "Because peasants like you need to learn when to listen to their elders," he smirks in joy. " I will break some bones and then let you live, BUT IF YOU TELL ANYONE ABOUT OUR LITTLE FIASCO I WILL DISSECT EVERY SINGLE PART FROM AND DELIVER IT TO SOME BIRD TO DEVOUR, but I know you will not do that," he said while constantly shifting tones.

What Oji did not is that I was not trying to escape, I knew preemptively that he would catch me. So, what I did was that I ran towards where the lone bricks were at, and he thought I was trying to escape. Luckily, he did not see the bricks, and when he was done babbling nonsense, I slammed the brick onto the side of his face with the last drop of energy left over, and he was instantly knocked out. I also thumped the brick onto his arms a few times to fracture them and prevent this fiasco again, well at least for a few months.

I trudged on home, leaving a trail of droplets of blood. My vision went blurry, and I fainted as soon I entered the house, last seeing my mother freezing in horror from seeing my state. Everything went black. I knew I was going to be in trouble when I go to school because of his father.

I woke up around 4 days later, with a bandage around my nose fully covered, making it look like I was coating my nose with icing. I also had a crown of white bandages on my head because I fell headfirst onto the pathway. I trudged onto hell with a frown on my face expecting misery as soon I set my foot in front of the slimy, narrow gate. Hopefully, it will not be as bad I expect it to be.

I entered the gates, and the first thing I hear is the microphone yelling, " RIKU NAKAMURA COME TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE." I groaned with irritation, not expecting it to be this soon.

I entered the clean office of the principal. His room had a cozy feeling, but his attitude gave a cold feeling. There was a flat, smooth and lovely red rug covering the barren wooden floor making a creaky sound every time you move an inch. The principal was a quiet young man, maybe in his late 30's. He had his shiny black hair put to the other side, a toothbrush mustache that looked like the spikes of a cactus, he wore a muddy brown coat with a shirt as white as the light of a flashlight and a red tie that looked like it would bleed and dark black pant.

He threw an expulsion sheet right at me, but it just flew away due to the wind being so strong. I slowly picked it up while going through it, and my eyes started to tear up because it says I am expelled. It stated that the reasons include I punched a teacher, poured acid onto a student, collectively bullied, and threatened to kill the principal. These were all the things Oji did. He called the guards on me before I could even say anything, and I got kicked out.

Tears spilled out my eyes, and each droplet made me feel worse and worse. " THIS WORLD DESERVES TO DIE," I shriek. And at the exact moment rain started to fall like crazy and lightning struck the ground creating an enormous crater as if a meteor just hit and people started to turn into STONE?! It was like they just froze and suddenly an absurdly large beast dropped onto the ground with its mystical and large wings. IS THAT....
