Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 39: Donovan's Academy First Day (2)

" Hey Black Boy!!! are you a monster or something!!!? " said a boy who suddenly appeared behind Donovan.

As Donovan hears his voice, he immediately looks back at him and sees the very person who called him.

"( Okay who the hell is this? )" Donovan thinks to himself while wondering about the boy he sees right now, a blonde spiky-haired boy with clear blue eyes.

When Donovan is thinking about it, the kids around him begin to cheer, especially the girls, for they know who this kid is.

" Oh my goodness, it's Carlos from the House of Calibur!!! " the girls screamed his name as the boy Carlos was already known by them as the son of Arthur Calibur, the head of the House of Calibur.

< Identification Complete: >

< Name: Carlos Antares Calibur >

< Age: 9 >

< Level: 53 >

< Magic: Star Magic >

"( I see that he's the son of Calibur House, hmmm...? )" Donovan quickly notices Carlos's badge that he wears on his clothes, the badge of the lion, the symbol of the Calibur house for being a descendant from the ancient and legendary Britain King Arthur Pendragon.

"( Seeing his status, it seems he's already beyond me at three levels early for his age is already 'seven years' above me. )" Donovan says in his mind as he recounted himself as being only two years old with a body of an eleven years old child.

"( And his magic, no way... his magic is .... )" Donovan feels threatened after realizing the name of Carlos's magic, a magic known to be so sacred that his grandfather, Hector told him the Magic is the only thing that can match the Richter House's [Dragon Slaying Magic].

"( Grrrhhh..... if what grandpa said is true, then there's a chance this guy is calling me since he knows I'm from the House of Richter, the House that rivals this guy's House...!!! )" Donovan thinks to himself while recounting what he knows from his grandfather Hector.

While Donovan is having his negative thoughts about Carlos, Carlos who was looking at the crowd then responds to them.

" Thank you, people, I wasn't expecting the recognition but please... "

" Do also greet this 'Black Boy'...!!! "

" From the House of Richter. " Carlos says as he shows the kids there Donovan's badge, the badge of the House of Richter that his grandfather Hector had given him many months ago.

"( Huhh....!!!?? )" Donovan shouts in his mind for he wasn't expecting this.

"( I thought he was trying to have some fight with me since he knows which Royal House that I came from. )" Donovan thinks while still being prepared if Carlos tries to attack him.

While Donovan prepared himself, the kids and the academy janitors including teachers who hear Carlos's statements are shocked since they never had noticed Donovan be a family member of Elysium Haven's Royal Houses.

" The black boy is from the 'Richter' house? " said one of the boys there.

" How strange... oh yes I remember!!! " said one of the girls shouting as she remembers the news about the daughter from the House of Richter and her husband adopting the child which the news stated to be found inside the Dungeon.

After the girl says that, the whole kid around begins to murmur their thoughts which made Donovan so insulted.

"( Not this again... )" Donovan says in his mind for he is having enough of this kind of gossip being spoken by people around him when they see him as he remembers things like this also had happened before when he and his family is attending another Royal House's Party which immediately turned into a bad day for him since many of the people present looked at him and show their disgusted face for Donovan still remembered what they say in low voices.

" That's him, the Richter's adopted child... found in the Dungeon. "

" Found in the Dungeon!!!? is it a monster child? "

" It must be..., there's no mistake about it for the Dungeon is the place for monsters. "

" My children, don't get near him, he could be hiding his claws and fangs. "

" Shouldn't we eliminate him... before he grows...? "

" Why would the Richter's First son-in-law want to adopt such a child? "

" Is he so desperate to have a child after their first year of marriage? "

As the crowd says those words Donovan begins to put his head down as the scene changes into the present for Donovan then hears his soon-to-be 'friends' saying the same words as those royal guests from the party back then.

"( Grrhhh!!!! they're saying those words again!!!! ) " Donovan says since the kids there say.

" The Richter boy must be a monster if he comes from the Dungeon. "

" I heard from my father that the boy is actually an undead monster or a werewolf..."

" I heard that the Richter boy had a Magic that could kill many people like a monster. "

As those kids say, Donovan's negative emotions begin to rise for he had enough of people judging him from his skin color and his inhumane appearance which is the very thing that Donovan will take personally as he clenched his fist, preparing himself to unleash a weapon item he chooses from the System's Equipment to end their mockery upon him.

"( These people!!!! how can they mock me just because I am different from them!!! )" Donovan says while increasing his negative emotions.

< Emotion: -450 points >

< Hatred +200 points >

< Sorrow +140 points >

< Trauma +110 points >

< note: the emotion is minus since the user is currently having heavy negative emotions. >

.....

< Inventory: >

< Equipment: >

< [Item: Aether Blade] >

< Item Class: A >

< Type: Sword >

< Aether: +11.000 >

< This Aether imbued blade is made from the Dark Elf's blacksmith art using Elven blacksmith art to make the Aether in this weapon can effectively affect the sharpness of this blade. >

< Effect: >

< - [Sharpness]: The Ather will increase the blade's sharpness, ATK, and DMG BY 18% after the User kills then 30 minutes. >

< - [Rampage]: Since the Aether is a force made from hatred, the more user feels hatred as their 'negative emotions' then the Blade will increase the user's energy to perform some energy-draining movements, decreasing the Energy Point usage by 20%. >

...

"( I don't care anymore!!! )"

"( I don't know what exactly happens but from now I immediately know that this First Day of my Academy life is a Bad Day for me!!! )" Donovan shouts in his mind while almost equipping the weapon.
