Fang starts his day, as usual today. But what he doesn't know, is what is about to happen to him and two other classmates of his.

Chapter 1: I'm Moving..?

May 27th, 2016. Rintis Island,

It was a peaceful morning at Rintis Island. Birds were singing, the sun shining brightly... All of a sudden, an alarm clock sounded off.

At a certain abandon mansion, a teenage boy woke up and sat up on his bed. "All right... time to go to school." He said to himself in a sleepy tone, turned off the alarm clock lazily and got out of bed.

Fang's Introduction

Hi everyone. My name is Fang, and I go to Rintis Island High. I'm just an average, everyday normal 15 year-old boy. Only with 'Shadow Manipulation' powers...

I start my day as follows: I wake up, go take a shower and brush my teeth, get dressed, have breakfast and go to school. It's my everyday routine to be honest and not a single thing has changed.

At school, I always get the third highest mark in my class. Because, let's be honest, who even dares steal away Ying and Yaya's top spot..? I wouldn't.

End of Fang's Introduction

After his monologue, Fang arrived at his school: Rintis Island High School. As he entered the school grounds, he inhaled the fresh air and went into the building and walked towards his class: Class 3 Amanah.

But before he could enter through the classroom door, "Hey Fang..!"

When Fang turned, a vein appeared on his right temple. "Ugh, this guy again..." he said silently. It was everyone's favorite, popular, teenage superhero: Boboiboy. "Good morning, Fang. What's up..?" the orange capped boy asked him, but Fang ignored him.

"*sigh* its' okay if you don't wanna greet me back, since we're already friends." "Friends..? Don't get the wrong idea. I will prove to everyone that I'm better than you, Boboiboy!" Fang yelled loudly.

That's right... Even after all the things that had happened the past years, Fang still wants to prove to everybody he's the very best.

"Couldn't you give it a rest..? We've been rivals since we were in 5th grade. Can't you just let it go already?" Boboiboy pointed out. "No! I won't until I do!" Fang refused.

"Whatever..." "Morning guys..!" someone else greeted them both. Both of them turned to the voice and saw, "Morning, Gopal..! How are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks for asking. What about you Fang..?" "Ugh, I don't have time to talk with you two morons..." Fang ignored the Indian boy's question and entered the classroom. "Hey, it's not nice to call people 'morons'. You, of all people, should know that Fang." Boboiboy advised him.

"Whatever. Don't bother if you don't want to be called a dunderhead..." Fang told them both and sat at his desk. "Hah... How do people even get around so easily..? He's such a narcissist!" Gopal commented and sat at his desk, which was just left of Boboiboy's.

Just then, the teacher entered the classroom. "Students, stand up. Good morning, Teacher Papa..!" Yaya Yah, the class rep and head prefect greeted, and so did the other students.

"True Greetings, everyone..! Sit down." The teacher ordered them. "Do all of you know what period it is now..?" Teacher Papa asked them an easy-to-answer question. "Umm, right now it's Math. Why do you ask, Teacher?"

"He he... Do you all remember what we did last week?" he asked another question. "Hmm... First was a quiz about Pythagoras Theorem, then a Math puzzle. What else..?"

"Aha, then do you remember what we did the week before last week..?" Teacher Papa asked another question. "Hmm... Oh yeah..! Now I remember, the week before that we had mid-semester test. What about it, Teacher Papa?" Boboiboy answered him.

"If you don't remember, then I shall tell you!" "Oi, just tell us already." Fang said in a displeased tone. "Very well... The truth is, today is the day your test results will be revealed!" he yelled out loud.

"WHAT!?" all of them said simultaneously. "Oh no..! How did we forget?" Gopal asked in a panicky tone. "I've no idea... Since when—"

"Enough small talk, time for the results..! The one with the third highest mark is..." "We already know who it is. It's me—"

"Boboiboy..!" Teacher Papa announced, causing Fang and the others to gape out of surprise. "B... Boboiboy..?" "M-Me..? No way!" the orange capped boy stood up and went to receive his test paper. "Awesome..!" he cheered in delight.

"He... He took my rank. Dang it..!" he whispered angrily. "Second place goes to..." While the second place was about to be announced, Yaya and Ying were glaring at each other.

"Uh-oh... If one gets second place—"

"Hmm, the whole planet will die in their hands." Boboiboy added to Gopal's sentence. "Ying and Yaya..! Both of them are tied at second place." Teacher Papa informed them. "Wh-What..?" Yaya and Ying said in surprise and went to receive their test results.

"H-How did..?" "Our performance dropped that much..?" both girls sounded disappointed and became all gloomy all of a sudden. "Well that was quick change in mood..." Boboiboy commented to himself. "And now... For the one who got the highest mark goes to..."

While it was about to be announced, the whole class became silent. All of them wanted to know, who is no.1 in class? "The student who has the highest mark is—" "Me..! Hahahaha! Thank you, thank you!" Gopal interrupted the teacher's sentence.

"Huh, Gopal..?" all of them asked simultaneously. "Oi, since when did I say it was you? You got the lowest mark, Gopal s/o Kumar!" Teacher Papa yelled angrily and slammed his test results on his desk.

"T-Ten percent only..? All of them are only 10%? I'll be dead if my father sees this!" he said in fear. "Hmmph, interrupt me again. Right, the one with the highest mark is..."

Once again, the classroom became silent. "Fang..! Everyone, give a big round of applause to your classmate." Teacher Papa announced, while everyone cheered and clapped for him. "M-Me..? Y-You gotta be kidding me!"

Fang quickly stood up and ran towards Teacher Papa and swiped all his test results. "All of them... Are 100% right?" Fang mumbled to himself.

"Congratulations, young one. You have done me proud..." Teacher Papa congratulated him and shook his hand. Still shocked, Fang walked towards his desk while gazing upon his test results. Then,

"Finally..! I've became more popular than Boboiboy!" he cheered to himself and cackled like an idiot. "There goes his narcissism..." Boboiboy commented and continued to read his Math book.

At recess,

As the school bell rang, all the students of Rintis Island High exited their classes and went to the cafeteria. Fang, on the other hand, was walking towards his favorite table at the cafeteria, the dining table beside the window. But before he could get there, two familiar figures appeared before him.

It was Ying and Yaya. "Hi Fang..." both girls greeted him. "Oh, h-hi... What do you guys want?" he asked in a shaky tone. 'I'm dead..! They must be here to kick my butt for stealing their rank...'

"We're here to..." At this point, Fang had already passed the point where he's about to faint.

"We're here to congratulate you, no.1 student." Ying and Yaya said simultaneously. "W-What..?" "What do you mean by 'what'? It's supposed to be that way, right?" Yaya pointed out logically.

"No, I mean... You guys aren't angry?" "Angry? For what..?" Ying asked curiously. "I stole your spot. Shouldn't you guys be angry?"

"Why would we be angry..?" "Yeah... C'mon, that rivalry was a long time ago. It was about time we just let bygones be bygones." Ying and Yaya answered his question. "Besides, you deserve it... You said you wanted to prove you're better than Boboiboy, right?"

"Hah..? Um..." "It's okay if you don't want to thank us...' Yaya said softly. "N-No..! T-Thank you, Ying, Yaya... Congratulations on getting second place then..." "Thanks..!" both of them said happily in sync and left him.

"Huh, I thought they were gonna murder me... Thank goodness." He said to himself, feeling relieved that he escaped the jaws of death itself and started to eat his lunch.

Moments later,

After recess ended, Fang stood up from his seat and walked back to his class but then someone called him. It was one of his classmates, Amar Deep.

"Hmm? What is it, Amar..?" "I was from the headmistress' office. She said she wants to see you there right now." The Indian teen informed him. "The headmistress..? Why?"

"I don't know. You better get there quick..." "Okay, thanks Amar." He thanked the spectacle wearing Indian teen and went to go see the headmistress. At the office,

Fang slowly approached the door that leads to the headmistress' office and knocked three times. "Come in..." a muffled voice ordered him. So without hesitating, Fang opened the door and entered the office.

"You wanted to see, ma'am..?" he asked in a respectful tone. "Yes. Please, sit down Fang..." the headmistress offered him to take a seat.

"I'm fine standing up, thank you..." Fang declined politely. "Very well... I've heard you got the highest mark in class, is that true?" she asked curiously.

"Y-Yeah, that's right... But if you're asking if I cheated, then you're wrong. I didn't cheat..." Fang gave her a straight answer and a fact. "Of course you wouldn't cheat... Besides, I know who cheats at test and who doesn't just by looking at them."

"So, is there a reason why you called me here..?" Fang asked the elderly woman. "Of course, but we have to wait for two more guests to arrive." The headmistress told him to be patient.

"Two more..?" On cue, both of them heard three knocks coming from the door. Then, two familiar faces entered the office.

"Huh, Ying and Yaya..?" "Eh, Fang..?"

""What are they doing here?"" all of them asked simultaneously. "There's reason as to why I called all of you here."

"What is it, ma'am..?" "All of you will be moving to another country... The three of you." She informed the three teens, which made them silent. "Move..?" "To another country..?" the three of them repeated.

"For what purpose, ma'am..?" "The three of you showed very promising results these past years. So as a reward, I'm transferring the three of you to different schools." The headmistress answered honestly.

"Since both Ying and Yaya are tied with second highest marks, both of you will be moving to the same school as each other." She added and gave the three of them a piece of paper.

"What's this?" "Airplane tickets... As I said before, all of you are going to move to different countries. And don't worry, the school will pay for all the expenses to move your things to your new homes." She added again and sat back at her comfy chair.

"How long will we stay there..?" Fang asked with a serious expression. "You will be staying at those countries until you finish studying..."

"You mean... Will be staying there for three years!? Why?" "I've already told you. It's a reward for all your efforts in studying here." The headmistress answered honestly and stood up from her seat.

"Your flights leave the day after tomorrow, so all of you better start packing the moment you get back home." She advised them. "O-Okay... Thank you, headmistress." Both girls thanked her and left the room.

Fang took a last stare at the headmistress before leaving the office, feeling somewhat angry.

At the abandon mansion,

Fang opened the door to his bedroom and threw his schoolbag beside his bed. He then jumped and landed on the bed, feeling all hollow inside.

"Am really going to leave this mansion..?" he started to talk to himself. "Why is this even happening, on the day I finally proved to the school I'm better than Boboiboy? What misfortune..." he sighed in disappointment.

'It is to congratulate you for showing promising results all these years, studying at Rintis Island High School.' He remembered what the headmistress told him.

"There must be something more than just because of a few good grades... But I don't know what to think up of. *sigh* I might as well just go with the flow." Fang said to himself and started packing his stuff.

"Wherever this ticket takes me... I hope it's a better place than this island." He whispered and continued to pack his things. Not gonna lie, he sounds pretty angry. Somehow...
