Chapter 4: An ominous wizard(4)
"Meow!!!!!!!!!!"
Snowy jumped high and swung its forefoot to the forehead of tiger.
A tiger roared with anger and shook his head to remove Snowey from its forehead. Snowy soon flew up to the air. Then, the tiger swung feet on the air to make a shockwave that made Snowy fainted.
"Snowy!"
Dong Hoon yelled.
Then, a tiger slowly approached towards Dong Hoon.
'I am such a powerless person.
I couldn't save my cat at every moment.'
Dong Hoon knelt down and became hopeless.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. It was the sound of lightwave beam from a magical sword.
"Dong Hoon, what are you doing?"
Jun Woo shouted.
A tiger was angry with Jun Woo as the lightwave beam of him hit the forehead and shifted it's focus to him. It approaced towards Jun Woo and swung it's forefeet. Jun woo avoided some swings and fired lightwave beams with spells. However, a tiger hardly got any damages. Rather, it roared more loudly and fired lightwave beams from it's mouth. The transparent lightwave beam precisely hit the heart of Jun Woo. Jun Woo was blown hard by the shockwave and laid down.
"Dong Hoon, run!"
Jun Woo cried with all his power but soon closed his eyes.
"No!"
Dong Hoon cried.
He recalled his memories with Jun Woo.
******
It was when he was 14 years old. He was in his 8th grade. Every student was harshly bullying Dong Hoon than ever. This was because of their sensitivity. They were sensitive because of their conflict with parents. Some stubborn parents still did not acknowledge their superstar son and daughter. They felt alone in home and wanted to blame Dong Hoon for everything.
They threw trash towards Dong Hoon. They scribbled at Dong Hoon's books.
'Demon king, Dong Hoon Kim.'
'Incapable of Incapable.'
No one teacher tried to stop students. Rather, they secretly supported students.
"Good job. Please let him go out from school by himself. We don't need a student that is ominous. We will not punish you with it."
A teacher said to students.
Dong Hoon started to feel irritated with the attitudes of teachers and students.
'Even teachers abandoned me.
I would like to leave this school as they wish.'
Soon, he started to act like a troublemaker. He started to distract each class with various means. Sometimes, he threw rocks to the window and ran away. In some occassions, he painted walls with spray.
However, he was not expelled from school. Dong Hoon wondered what was going on.
"It is your fault, it is your fault, it is your fault."
A voice was echoing around Dong Hoon.
"I am sorry!"
cried Dong Hoon.
He was having a nightmare after falling asleep on the desk.
"Dong Hoon."
A voice was heard from a short distance.
Dong hoon, covered with trash thrown by students, suddenly turned his eyes and gazed at a person.
"You must be having a hard time.
Aren't you?"
A teacher said.
"Who are you?"
Dong hoon asked.
"I am Kim Jun Woo, who came here this semester. I am a teacher of entertainment department."
"Ok. But how come an entertainment teacher like you try to talk with me? All school members, even the veterans hate me."
"The world is full of vastness.
Though you may seem powerless, helpless and useless, you should never forget that there are a group of people who are still looking after you."
Dong Hoon was enthrilled. He has never imagined of that.
"Don't make up silly stories. I am just a bad student with poor talents."
"Don't worry. One day, you will find out your talent and unleash your full potential. Until then, I will be with you."
"Ok."
Next day, all of a sudden, the bullying disappeared. Many students started to become indifferent to him. So did the teachers. Dong Hoon could realize why he was not expelled from school despite his acts. An invisible hand was with him.
******
"You liar! I am still a bad student and you are dead!"
Dong hoon cried in front of dead Jun Woo.
There was no such thing as an invisible hand. Had it existed, it could have saved him. Then he suddenly changed his thoughts.
"No! It's my fault! I led you to death! I am a worthless and bad student! But at last, I decided to be a good student! Though I lack talents, I know what is right! I will defeat the monster and if I cannot, it is ok for me to go to the afterlife realm!"
Then, Dong Hoon rushed towards tiger. A tiger released lightwave beam from its sharp claws of right forefeet and blew Dong Hoon away to the fence. Dong Hoon crumpled at the backyard.
Suddenly, a snowstorm started to hit Dong Hoon's face with strong winds. Tears bursted out from his eyes. The songs of musicians on broomsticks which he heard through the window back in his childhood were echoing his ears.
'If a reincarnation truly exists, I will reborn as a strong person. I will protect all of my beloved ones. I am sorry Snowy, I am sorry Jun Woo.'
Then, Dong Hoon closed his eyes.
******
Dong Hoon suddenly woke up in a strange room where a strange woman was watching him.
Her words were strange as well.
"You are destined to be the dark lord and I will tell you ways to change your destiny."
