1 The Worst Exorcist

"Hey Gale!" A rather tall and muscular man shouted down the schools hallway.

"Great, it just had to be him." I said.

As he runs up to me I can already feel the gazes falling upon me. You see, this guys name is Alex and he's really popular here at school. Now let me say I'm popular too. Except for the fact that I'm popular because I am known as the worst Exorcist. Alex is one of the highest ranking Exorcists in this school, Devil Slaying High. Apparently, at the age of 5 his parents told him about the family business and how they slay evil spirits. Alex was so amazed he asked to help them. The sad thing is he has a natural talent for it. Unlike me, who at the age of 15, hasn't slayed a single spirit. Well that's mostly due to the fact that I'm too weak.

Spirits are evil beings that take many forms and their main goal is too take over humans. Feeding on their evil energy. Of course the public doesn't know about this as this school is a secret to the world.

Now when you become an Exorcist you have to train your body and mind everyday. Training your body is straight forward, but mind isn't. You need to train you mind so you can increase your talisman speed and strength as more of your chakra is put into it. Now here's where I come in I have really no body strength as I would probably lose a fight against 12 year old despite me being 15. Also, my mind is bad as my talisman are ranked the lowest this school has ever seen, so in the end. I'm really jealous of Alex. Though he does like to bully me, which I bet he's coming over to do now.

"Yo, how's the weakest Exorcist doing." Gale says as he finally caught up to me.

"Listen Alex I don't have money today or any spare talismans so can you leave me alone?" I ask hoping he would believe my lies.

"HUH?! Since when did you get such an attitude! I think I need to teach you a lesson." Alex practically shouts causing everyone to look at us.

At this point I knew I fucked up. Though at least I'm prepared for the beating this time unlike other times. Yes... there are other times. Everytime I try to refuse he would beat me up until I was practically unrecognizable. Now you're probably wondering why the teachers do nothing. Well it's because they don't care. Why would they care about a weakling like me? I'm pretty sure I'm still allowed in this school because it's my first year.

"Agh!

Oof!

Ugh!"

I shout as he continuously punches me and kicks me. I can feel I broke at least two ribs and some arm bones. At this point my mind breaks. I'm just sick and tired of getting beat up everyday, everyone looking down on me. Then I decide to give him 10 dollars and a set of 25 talismans.

"Hah, I knew you had some on you! See how much easier it is to just give me it. If you gave me what I wanted from the start this wouldn't have happened." He shouts as he walks down the hallway to his dorm. People are leaving the area, but I can still hear their whispering.

"Why doesn't he just leave already? He's only baggage."

"I agree, all he's doing is ruining the school."

I feel terrible as I walk back towards my dorm. As soon as I walk in I see a random suitcase with a note. It seems very suspicious, but I pick up the note and start reading it. Though whats on it shocks me.

"Hello Gale, this is the exorcist society since you've met your parents requirements on the will everything in this suitcase is now yours."

My parents... I don't really remember them since they died when I was 5. All I know is they were exorcists. They weren't good, but they weren't bad either. Unfortunately they died protecting their comrades from an S class spirit. That apparently became so strong because it absorbed so much negative energy it was classified as a national threat. This was the first one since the last 20 years. Spirits depending on their strength are classified as letters such as:

F: New Spirit Very Weak

E: Gotten stronger, but new exorcists could still defeat it.

D: Possessed a human gaining new strength. Will need a decently strong exorcist (3rd and 4th years at the academy could beat it.)

C: Needs at least 10 experienced exorcists.

B: Will need at least 50 exorcists of a certain strength.

A: Country level threat. Might require Elder Exorcists

S: National level calamity. Would immediately require all Elder Exorcists and other Exorcists in the area to fight regardless of strength.

Anyways I decide to open the suitcase, but I only see one thing. A black and white talisman. Now I've never seen a talisman like this because talisman only have one color depending on strength. Suddenly as I pick up the talisman I feel a weird pain in my head, which I realize is the talisman sticking it self on me. I start to feel an intense pain everywhere. This pain was so bad it far surpassed any beating I got from Alex. After like five seconds of screaming I pass out unbeknownst of what's to happen next.
