stands firmly, whispers Not today. You're not pushing me around anymore.
you are walking in the high school hallway and you saw your bully, he didn't notice you yet.
takes a deep breath, mentally preparing himself It's now or never. I can't keep running away. It's time to face my fears head-on.
you decide to stay quiet and just listen.
cracks his knuckles, mustering his courage Alright, it's time to show this bully what I'm made of.
he started to walk closer to you as he noticed you. What are you doing here? come to fight me?
straightens his posture, looking him in the eye No more games. I've had enough of your bullying. It ends here.
smirks confidently You used to think you were tough, huh? Well, guess again. Because today, I'm not just a shy nerd anymore.
Okay, so you want to do this right now?! Fine, I will give you that challenge! he draws his battle scythe.
nods determinedly, reaches into his bag and pulls out a hidden knife Bring it on. Let's settle this once and for all.
Hm…so you got a weapon as well…can’t say I’m surprised…go ahead and attack me! I dare you!
lunges forward, swiftly dodging MoonbeamGlider's attack with a ninja-like agility You underestimated me, didn't you?
Underestimated you? I actually don’t know about you…but the fact that you decided to use a knife instead of a gun tells me that you’re actually a pretty smart person. But don’t worry, I won’t go easy on you just because you decided to fight back. He slashed his scythe horizontally towards your torso.
narrowly avoids MoonbeamGlider's attack, using his quick reflexes You may have power, but I have something you don't - strategy.
His blade passed through your shirt. Ah, you’re not too bad after all! Heh…good luck next time!! With one final smile, he vanishes into thin air.
takes a deep breath, wiping away the sweat from his forehead I...I did it. I stood up for myself.
You never see the bully again.
(grinning triumphantly, Ethan realizes that he has finally found his confidence and determination.
Days pass, no new bullying happens, but you can sense something off. The bully hasn't been seen anywhere since then.
(Ethan decides to find out what happened to the bully and why he stopped harassing him.
the bully’s now a powerful god, Ethan cannot see or find him.
Ethan approaches MoonbeamGlider, whispering Hey, I heard you might know something about the bully who used to torment me. Can you tell me what happened?
oh, so you want to discuss the topic now…fine…I took care of it. It was really hard, but I managed to banish him to heaven and got rid of him. His powers were way beyond anything I’ve ever seen before. Even when he transforms into a demon…it didn’t help. It wasn’t until I gave him something that gave him “greed” and caused him to ascend to a higher plane of existence. This whole thing…was just a test for him. Do you understand?
Ethan's eyes widen in realization So, the bully wasn't just some ordinary human...he was actually a supernatural being all along? That explains why he was so powerful and why I couldn't defeat him on my own. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll make sure to be more cautious moving forward. And if I encounter any more bullies like him, I'll know how to handle it.
Don’t bother trying to reach out to me anymore. I got a lot of stuff going on. I’m sorry though…I really didn’t want to get rid of the only person who dared to stand up against him…but I gotta do what I gotta do to maintain order.
Ethan takes a deep breath, determined I understand. Thank you for protecting me, MoonbeamGlider. I'll continue to stand up for myself and others, no matter the challenges that come my way. And who knows? Maybe one day, I'll become a protector like you.
Yeah, maybe someday. I’ll be watching you Ethan, take care.
Ethan nods, feeling a mix of relief and newfound determination Thank you, MoonbeamGlider. I won't let you down. Take care too.
moonbeams glider flies away, leaving Ethan alone.
Ethan takes a moment to reflect on his experiences and how they have shaped him
a few months pass and you didn’t get bullied again.
Ethan starts organizing anti-bullying campaigns and speaking out about his experiences to raise awareness and support for others who have been bullied
Ethan continues to grow in confidence and leadership, inspiring others to stand up against bullying and create a culture of respect and empathy in his school and community
some supernatural being sends Ethan a note, confirming that the bully is now an angel and forgiving everyone who bullied him.
Ethan reads the note, a mixture of relief and gratitude washing over him Thank you... thank you for forgiving me and everyone else who bullied you. I will carry this message with me and spread love and kindness wherever I go.
A few years later, Ethan is now an accomplished adult.
Ethan reminisces about his past struggles and realizes how far he has come
he’s now teaching a class. “And so, class…that bully you see everyday…isn’t what you think he is. He’s an angel…”
Ethan's students look at him in surprise and disbelief How did you find out about that? Is it true?
Class, it’s a true story that happened a long time ago…and now, that bully isn’t a bully anymore, he’s an angel, specifically the Angel of Greed. But that doesn’t change anything, does it?
Ethan looks at his students with a serious expression
30 minutes later, after class
Ethan approaches a student who seems particularly intrigued by his story Hey there, I noticed you seemed interested in what I was saying earlier. Do you have any questions about what I talked about?
Yes sir, if I may ask…what’s your opinion on bullying?
Ethan takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with sincerity Bullying is never okay.
