In the world of magic lived one boy that was different. His name is Diarem. He is the adopted son of millionaire William Wilson. It's normal to not have any magic but he was the only one in his school. For that, he got bullied. His father often tried to show that life can be beautiful even without magic. You don't need both hands to enjoy your life although it would be nice to have them both.
The worst subject for non-magicians is P.E. Most sports in Splendia were based on magic so Diarem couldn’t take part in most of the games. Whenever the teacher decides to play a game without magic the whole class would be mad at Diarem just because he was born like this. It looked like it didn't bother him that much but he was only putting on a face to don't make things worse.
One day, after school, when Diarem was heading home with his head down, three kids from his class stood in his way. He ignored them and walked past them but they didn't block his path for no reason.
“And where do you think you're going?” Diarem stopped and looked at him. The boy tried throwing a rock at Diarem with his magic. The rock was flying directly at his head but somehow before impact, it flew to the side and missed Diarem.
“It was just a... warning shot!” Said the kid as he was surprised that he missed. He had problems with aiming but not in such a short distance.
“You’re pretty bad at using earth magic for a magician.” Said sarcastically Diarem without hesitation. The boy raised another rock and came closer. Before Diarem could run the other two kids grabbed him.
“I won't miss from this close.” Said the kid and punched Diarem into the stomach with a rock. The boys left Diarem who was curled up on the ground. To make things worse it even started to rain. When Diarem opened the door to his mansion, maid Elizabeth welcomed him.
“Let me grab a towel for you. Sir.” Said Elizabeth. Diarem answered
“No need for that, I just need to change my clothes”. Before he entered his room William saw him and said:
“Why are you so wet? Didn’t miss Elizabeth pick you up from school”.
“I wanted to take a walk home. Didn't know it was going to rain...” Said Diarem and closed the door to his room.
A couple of hours later when Diarem was studying he heard knocking at his door. He ignored it. Once again there was knocking but this time after the knocking someone opened the door. It was William.
“I didn’t say you can come in.” Said Diarem while still focusing on homework.
“I know but if you are ignoring me Why can I do the same?" Said William and smiled at Diarem.
“So what do you want?” said Diarem.
”Would you like to change schools next year?” William asked calmly.
“Why do you ask?” asked confused Diarem.
“Well… I know what is happening in your current school so I found the school perfect for you. I know you’re still excited about magic so there is a school where classes are equally made of magicless and magical students.” said William
Diarem froze for a second. He had one thing in mind. Is my life going to change? No... Why would it? It's only a different school... that's all.
“Fine.” Said Diarem without any other word but truly inside he was thinking that his life will change now.
