DemiGod Among Calamities

Drake conquitos, is the head of the conquitos family who is known for his unparalleled strength in the village.

He is only second to the village head in terms of strength.

His teaching methods and way of upbringing of his children was very cruel.

He had a single motive in raising them and that was to make them their own master i.e. he didn want them to be controlled by their emotions or lose themselves to pleasure, anger, revenge etc.

But when a father like him came to know that Yukina has been sneaking away with food just to feed an affinity less trash he was furious and utterly disappointed in his daughter.

He didn even give her a chance in defending herself and gave her a very cruel punishment.

He himself hit her with 100 whips and a 24/7 isolation of 2 months in a darkroom.

He was even planning to get rid of Leo but he was shocked with Leos backing.

Leo was being protected by the elder from the orphanage.

Him being cursed had even greater consequences on his life than he had thought.

The reason he had trouble was not mainly because there was no work for him to do, no to be more precise, everyone thought that they would end up getting cursed and lose what little power they had.

The shop he was working at was a shop owned by the elders little brother and he was ready to hire him but on one condition and that was he would only provide him with barely enough money to survive.

Elder guru was happy with this much at least the child he adored the most would at least survive.

In the past years Leo has been bullied countless times and elder guru had never made a move to save him unless the situation was dire, just like present.

Elder gurus strength was unknown; the only info to estimate his strength is that he had killed several elder of the Demon tribe during the END battle. [A/N: there will be brief explanation on the demons and all other stuff just keep on reading thank you :)].

Leo has been trying his best to live though this hard time and had already been distant from his classmates.

Leo just entered his classroom and faced another round of mockery.

”Hey, see the zombies here ”.

”Yeah I bet the mortals specifically created the word zombie after seeing this walking pile of bones ”.

………………

And so on these words kept re-sounding while Leo kept ignoring them.

These words were like annoying bugs for him now, he has gotten used to it. But unknowingly a part of him has begun to hate every single member in his village with some exceptions.

Everyone stopped their mocking when they saw professor Litho enter.

Prof Litho still felt very sad for the state Leo was currently in, he was one of the geniuses whom he wanted to see prosper. Even after feeling pity for him he can help Leo in any way because it might make him dependable and he may lose his driving force for survival. This was the reason why elder guru only supported him in the shadows.

Soon Prof Litho started speaking ”Everyone as you know today we have a practical session for learning the use of your respective elements during combat ”.

As soon as he finished saying his words he could see the atmosphere of the classroom change and he could only sigh while thinking ”its good to be young ”.

Soon everyone moved out to the open training grounds with teachers of different elements were teaching student of their element.

Leo who was an affinity-less person was left out and was sitting under the tree.

Soon he also got up and started practice some of the attacks he has come up with. Seeing him hitting empty air everyone again started mocking ”look seems like the zombie is at it again ”. ”I don understand what he gets from this every time ”…..

As usual Leo ignored them and only concentrated on himself.

Looking at his stance anyone could guess that he was attempting to learn a kicking technique.

His chest was facing 11 oclock while his head was at 12. His right leg was in front of his left leg. The toe of his right leg was barely touching the ground while the left leg provided most of the balance and strength. He took in a deep breath and with slightest movement and extreme accuracy he threw out his right leg straight up making a 90° (degree) with his left leg.

This attack had both speed and accuracy the only thing it was lacking was strength. If only Leo hadn been malnourished then this attack would have been enough to kill anyone of his classmate.

He practiced the same move for the last 5 years and is now nearing perfection.

Everyone was doing their respective training when they heard Prof Litho shouting ”gather up everyone I have a special announcement to make ”….
