Intro:
So, I've been thinking a lot about jealousy lately. You know, that feeling deep inside you when someone else has something you want or achieves something great? Yeah, it's like this green-eyed monster that just claws at your insides and won't let go. And trust me, I know all too well what it feels like to be consumed by jealousy.
The Inferior Son:
Growing up as the second son in my family was no walk in the park. My older brother always seemed to have everything handed to him on a silver platter while I struggled for recognition. It didn't matter how hard I studied or how much effort I put into things; he was always one step ahead of me. That sense of inferiority fueled my jealousy even further.
Arrogance and Pride:
To hide my insecurities and mask my feelings of envy, I adopted an air of arrogance and pride. After all, if people thought highly enough of me already, maybe they wouldn't notice just how jealous I truly was on the inside. But little did they know that beneath this facade lay a constant battle with those green eyes.
Skipping Classes - A Form of Rebellion:
Skipping classes became an outlet for me – a way to rebel against expectations placed upon me as "the inferior son." While others diligently attended lectures and absorbed knowledge like sponges, here I was taking naps instead! It may have appeared lazy or irresponsible from an outsider's perspective but deep down it stemmed from frustration – frustration over not being able to achieve what others effortlessly attained.
The Inter-dorm Magift Tournament:
Then came the Inter-dorm Magift tournament – an opportunity for glory that couldn't be missed! This year's reigning champions were none other than Diasomnia themselves – those arrogant brats who seemingly had everything handed to them without breaking a sweat! They were living proof that life wasn't fair, and it fueled my jealousy to unimaginable heights.
Hijacking the Tournament:
I knew that if I wanted victory – the ultimate triumph over those who had always overshadowed me – I would have to take matters into my own hands. So, with a mischievous glint in my eyes and fire burning within me, I decided to hijack the Inter-dorm Magift tournament. It was a risky move but one that felt necessary for redemption.
The Savanaclaw Dorm:
Of course, no man is an island; even someone like me needed help. And where better to find allies than within my own dormitory? The Savanaclaw dorm was full of talented individuals just waiting for an opportunity like this. With charisma and cunning persuasion, I managed to convince most of them to join forces with me on this audacious mission.
The Joy of Having Allies:
Having others by your side can be invigorating! It feels good knowing you're not alone in your quest for vengeance against those who've wronged you or simply outshone you at every turn. To see their fiery determination mirrored in their eyes only fueled my desire for victory even more.
"Babydoll" - My Beloved:
Amidst all the chaos and plotting, there's one person who has stood by me through thick and thin – "Babydoll" or as some call her lovingly, Dollface. She understands what drives me; she sees through all the layers of arrogance down into the depths where jealousy resides. With her unwavering support and love guiding our path forward together as partners-in-crime (literally), we make quite a formidable team!
Conclusion:
Jealousy may be considered a flaw by many but let's face it – it's also what pushes us beyond our limits! Without envy gnawing at our souls from time-to-time, how can we truly appreciate the sweetness of victory? So yes, I am jealous. Yes, I have let that green-eyed monster take hold of me more times than I care to admit. But in the end, it's what fuels my determination and drives me towards achieving greatness – no matter who or what stands in my way.
And mark my words; one day soon, Leona Kingscholar will reign supreme!
