1 I'M NOT TRASH!!!

The sun blazes at noon on the grounds of Shining City Middle School. Students gathering and cheering as they are watching a 'trash' being beat up by the school's top.

"Finish him!!!"

"Beat him to a pulp!!!"

"Kick him in the balls!!!"

"Can you hear that, William? You have no place in these world. You are 'trash' among the trash with your joke of an ability. Even 'Dumbo' over there could take you on a fight...*kick*"

A blondie, good looking fellow is kicking his fellow classmate and it looks as brutal as it sounds. Blood could be seen dripping on William's nose and mouth. Spattering everywhere on the ground. He wants to get up but he can't because of the barrage of kicks given.

The blondie is Hans, Hans Lock. The Locks' are well known for having an ability that transforms them into a beast. Him not even using an ounce of his ability shows that William isn't even strong enough to pose any danger to him.

William is a short, brown haired, skinny guy with the ability to pick anything up at a radius. He could only pick up a pencil size object and even is struggling at it. It is a branch of telekinesis but his ability is a joke to it. His family is a normal one. His father, whom he have never met, is said to have ventured out the unknown parts of the world having a job of a [Venturer] . His mom and little sister is living with him in a normal household.

"Give it to me, William. Give. It. To. Me!!!" Hans keeps yelling on William about something he wants. These made the crowd wonder what William has done to get Hans do this to him.

"A trash and A THIEF..."

"I did not know he could steep too low, dude..."

"Pity... I thought he was a good guy..."

The crowd murmured on what they thought William did. They knew Hans personality is that of a noble and he doing this could only mean he was teaching this guy a lesson. William on the other hand, knew otherwise...

Amidst the chaos, everyone did not notice a little toy on his chest. He was tucked up to cover his front and leaving his back wide open. Kicks were bombarded in his back and bruises were seen on his side and arms. It was truly a one-sided battle.

William could be seen grunting and panting as kicks were direct hit on his body. He could only hold out for who knows how long as it seems the thing he is holding is valuable to him. It is a bird-like toy. It is said to be very interactive and fun to have like a pet. It is given by his father on his recent 12th birthday as a message that he is still alive and is looking out for him even though he is far away. Hans saw him playing with it and only wants to bully him for being happy even being called 'trash'. After a couple gruesome minutes, a beautiful lady came up to them in an agrivated manner.

"Look there's Teacher Kim!!!"

"God, she's a beauty..."

"Hans... What are you doing?" the blondie, goddess looking tall lady asked.

"Sister?! O-Oh we're just only playing... heh..." Hans nervously spoked as he is scared of his sister. He backed down and walked as if nothing, like a normal afternoon for him and goes 'back' to his class.

"And everyone! What are you still looking at?! Go back to your classes now!" Lady Kim Lock is a temporary teacher at this school as she is looking over her brother. Everyone knows how scary she is thus everyone in the area hurriedly walked to their classes to avoid the angry gaze she was giving.

"And you... William is it? Go to the nurse's office and tidy up. You still have classes to go to." And with that, the commotion in the school ground ended.

William struggled to stand up and was holding his side that was hit a lot while putting the 'toy' on his backpack. He then went to the nurse's office to get patched. He really liked the atmosphere there as the only one in school to care for him is the nurse.

"Sister Ali, it's me again.. hehe" William showed a bitter smile as he is struggling to even open the door.

Sister Ali was a short woman with buns on her hair. She is wearing a lab coat and glasses. Her nursing capability is because of her ability, [Recover].

She opened the door and smiles at William. While not speaking a word, she offered a seat and hold out her palm. William knew what to do and hold on to it. A breeze feeling then came over him like a cold wind passing. After a couple seconds, he felt warm and fuzzy while his injuries are no more.

"You lucky there was no internal injuries, you could have died reaching here you know?!." Sister Ali sounded concerned while making sure William is okay.

William kept on his bitter smile and is not speaking a word. But Sister Ali knew what mental stress is holding unto him, as she knew his situation well.

"You seems to be alright, all limbs attached *giggle*. Please keep it that way until you graduate, okayyyy?. I don't want seeing you crippled before reaching your high school years." Sister Ali said in a joyful tone. William see her as a sister she wants to have. A sister or more like someone to care for him in his time in school. Someone to look over him and treat him as human and not as the 'trash' he kept being called upon.

"Thank you for everything, Sis..." William hugged her and then went out the office and continue to walk back to his class where he knew full well that Hans is not there because he will cut class behind his sister's back.

Sister Ali welcomed him as her own brother. She knew fully well being powerless against the cruel world. Her having her pity [Recover] ability that could only heal light injuries and bruises means that she can only tend to kiddy fights. She let out a sigh and continued on her work.

As William reached the classroom, his usual atmosphere around got worse than before. Everyone was now wary of him as they thought his a thief. The gazes were daggers and their gossips are stabs. He no longer felt as the one being treated as a weakling but also a thief. He is no longer treated as a human.

William understood this, holding back his tears, closed the door and decided to go home. He got a pretty bad lunch and he just don't want anything bad to happen later.

Walking home he wondered what happened in his life to reach this point. 'When was it that they started calling me trash? Is it the start of middle school? Was it before that? I spent a pretty lively childhood with everyone... Oh it was that... abilities..."

His childhood friends has left him when they have acquired their abilities. Some develop common ones like strength or agility based. But ones rarer are elemental control, healing or body changing ones are popping up in his circle and he was left with his 'pathetic' one. His telekinesis could be considered a great one if it could lift an object weighing at least 50 kilos but even he knew it was impossible. It is also because of his body that this is the case. 'Luck determines how you will live in this world.' William murmured.

Reaching the age of 9 or 10. The cells on their bodies will try and develop its ability. It depends on their family's genes and also luck to have a great ability. Like the Locks', the ability [Transform] is passed on to their brethren and is seen as a pretty powerful compared to others. Ronan Lock, brother of Hans bearing there traits of being blond and beauty, is said to be the most powerful wielder as his ability is to transform into a metal-armored lizard sizing over a car. Abilities vary in each individual and is unique as it also grows with the wielder.

"I'm really tired of being 'trash'. Could I change even a little...?" Tears started rolling as he himself started to lose hope on having his dreams to be a [Venturer] be in his reach.

"No..." He wiped off his tears with his bloody uniform

"I will CHANGE. I'll challenge whom ever thought I'll be trash forever." He pumped himself up as he walked towards the door on his house.
