Self Proclaimed Talent

The weather wasn't too hot but the sun was shining brighter than ever. Without any notice a letter arrived at the laboratory. Maybe it was because of its keen nose but it was a two headed dog that noticed its arrival first.

It then bit it's master's pant and pointed towards the door.

"Ahh, another letter...huh? Those guys never stop. Give me a break already." The man scratched his head and said lazily.

He then opened the door and went to pick the letter.

His white coat wasn't as eye-catching as the blue patterned pant he wore. The man lazily opened the letter box and yawned.

"If it's the same as always I'll kill them."

His face suddenly changed and his lips bent upwards forming a smile,

"For the first time they have become useful."

The man clenched the letter and laughed.

He then looked at the two headed dog and said,

"Hey! let's go back, they will be coming soon."

On the hospital Jake was eating porridge when the door suddenly opened. There were familiar faces at the door but no one approached him first.

Suddenly a little boy was pushed forward by a soft white hand.

"You have something to say, don't you?"

The boy was shuddering as he tightly grabbed the little yellow t-shirt he was wearing.

"What?" Jake said with a straight face as he blew air to the hot porridge.

The boy's face immediately became red as he rushed to Jake side and grabbed his pants,

"Sob~ Sob~, I am Solly. I shouldn't have said those mean things to you," The tears were flowing out of his eyes like water in rivers, and his nose was running down as well,

" I will always obey what you ask of me. I will neber do anything that will luin your leputation , I wont lun away flom school anymole, so don't leave me, don't die!"

He then glanced at at Linda who was at the door making a soft laugh and said as he rubbed Harry's hair,

"I won't die. so, you don't have to worry about me."

"Really?" Harry looked at Jake with expectation.

"I am not gonna die, if I die who is gonna keep you in check? You're a problematic child to handle, if I die who will adopt you good for nothing child." He said with a smile, " Now, get ready the school will start tomorrow."

Harry nodded and left with his caretaker.

"Master, what are you going to do now? You will be bored resting here for few days. should I bring some books to relieve your boredom?" Linda said from the door. She didn't directly went inside without her master's permission.

The issue Drake was facing was the same as hers, even if he wanted to be on his master's side as fast as he could, there was no choice but to wait for his master to allow them to enter.

Jake put the plate at the side and stood up. He then stretched his right hand and said,

"Who said I was going to be staying here for few days? I am leaving this place today. Tomorrow will be the day when my highschool opens, can't miss the first day can we?"

"But master with your left hand as it is, you cannot attend the school right now!" Drake said with haste.

"If I just stay still like this all day, my points won't increase." He then walked towards Drake and said with a smile.

"Besides if I just sleep all day, being a Royal will be nothing but a foolish dream. He has found his way to climb up the ladder and now it's my turn to show what I got!" He muttered in a low voice.

In the next day, the orientation for the new students ended but there wasn't too much noise because most of the students fell asleep in the middle of Director's speech.

Next it was time to choose the class they were going to study at.

No one happy with the class they got because it all depended on their luck. They had to draw paper chits like a lottery and had to be in the same class for whole year.

The class change program would be held at the school every year to make students adapt to different environment in the three year of their highschool life. The classes were divided from A to D.

Class A had many facilities the school had to offer while Class D would struggle just to get good marks in exam. Being an A class student was something that would bring great honour to the students and their fame would increase so everyone wanted to be in class A.

But it all depended on their luck.

"Class A, I'm in class A." A student shouted with tears.

"Eh? You're happy just because you got into class A? I was also aiming for class A but seeing as the goddess was in Class C, I exchanged mine class A chit with a class C one." Another student said.

" What? Jessica is in class C? I wanted to be in her class too but it seems we weren't destined to be with each other." The student said with a sigh.

At this time a beauty walked in front of the student and said,

" I wanted to attend class A but I got unlucky and got the chit of class C. Would you like to exchange your chit with mine?"

The student who was bragging about not being destined or something patted his chest and said,

" It'll be my honour."

The girl covered her lips with her palm and made a hollow laugh,

"You are funny."

She then exchanged her chits and went towards her new class.

At this time the student who had exchanged class A chit for class C chit was dumbfounded. He then gritted his teeth and left for his new class. But the student who made transaction with Jessica was very happy and felt as if he had won a big war.

Because it all depended on ones luck it wasn't something made for Jake. As usual his luck had failed him. Maybe he had a knack for bad luck so he just got the chit for class D, the worst class.

He sighed and thought that the only way he could improve his points was by hardworking seeing as his luck would one day kill him for sure. He then clenched the chit and went for his new class because he knew no one would exchange their chits for class D even if you were to pay them.

The moment he entered the class he felt as if he'd entered some rundown factory. He then looked for a chair and sat there. Nobody paid him any mind when they saw he was crippled.

IF YOU WERE STUDYING AT CLASS D, YOU WILL BE MADE FUN OF. IF YOU WERE FRIEND WITH A CRIPPLE, THE STUDENTS WOULD TREAT YOU LIKE A SORE LOSER.

So the students avoided him as soon as they saw he was a cripple. He didn't despise it but loved as they treated him because he didn't wanted attention anyway.

Not having new people whom you don't even know gathered around you was something he liked, especially for him who wasn't someone that wanted to make many friends.

When he put his hands on the desk, a crack appeared in the place where he put his hands on. His lips twitched. At this time he really envied Sylen who would be admitted to best school possible in order to become a Royal.

But there was nothing he could do and just made a long sigh.

When he rose head, he saw a hand stretched at him. The man made a gentle smile and said,

" My name is Louis Lenson. Nice to meet you."

The students suddenly looked at the two when they heard the name. They knew who Louis was and wanted to befriend him but as they saw him trying to befriend a cripple, they clicked their tongue in envy.

Jake realized that students were looking at him with envy so he hesitated to shake hands.

' Is he a big shot or something? That's why I don't like attention!' He thought.

Seeing as he was hesitant to shake hands Louis took his hands back and said,

"You don't have to force yourself."

He then said in a small voice,

"Actually I am selected as a Talent and have a good family background so everybody wants to befriend me, I thought if I were to befriend you I won't get much attention." Louis laughed as he said.

So he is a crowd hater like me. Jake chuckled and asked,

"How much points did you get since you are selected as a Talent?"

"Actually I got 200." He whispered in Jake's ear.

'Haha, so he is one of those Self Proclaimed Talent I used to hear of.'
