Chapter 23: Face slapping (1)
Chapter 23: Face slapping (1)
An eighteen years old boy wearing a high school uniform could be seen standing before the gates of a grand school. The winding path ahead and the grounds were empty. Only a single guard stood nearby the gate.
"How ironic!"
Three years ago, the same scene had occurred. He woke up late and arrived at the school ten minutes before the class was gonna begin. At that time, he was a naive young boy looking to make new friends, find love, and live to fulfill his dream; However, all his thoughts shattered when he failed to obtain an ability at the awakening test.
In middle school, he was bullied for being an orphan, even though his mother was alive. In high school, he was bullied for being a useless trash just because he lacked a ability.
The majority of the students who bullied him in this school belonged to wealthy families with powerful ability users as parents or siblings. Some even came from influential families.
In the Earth federation, influential families either own massive business or dominates over a certain area of the district, or have a hand in the military. That's why all the unfair treatment he underwent went unnoticed.
What a joke. Everyone blamed him for the bullying. Those hypocrites believed that Marvin deserved to be bullied. 'I was a weakling, after all!' Marvin smirked while thinking of the past. 'However, I have become powerful. The weak Marvin of the past has died. Now, a powerful Marvin has returned to seek justice. I wonder how the school will change after I crush the rings, one by one!'
The bullies were separated into different groups according to their rings. A group with one ring was considered the weakest. The more rings a group has, the powerful their members.
While thinking that, he entered the school ground through the open gates.
"Have a nice day!" The gate guard said while bowing down but an insidious smile has appeared on his face. Marvin nodded in agreement and stepped on the winding path which connects to the entrance of the school building.
Seeing Marvin going away, the guard pulled out his phone and called the bullies about Marvin's arrival.
"Young master Krillin, the trash has entered the school without any protection. He is currently heading towards the main building. Good luck in beating the shit out of him and please give me what you promised!"
The guard was a bastard working for a lot of bullies. His main duty wasn't guarding the school gates but spying on the targets of the bullies. Although the guards take a certain amount of payment for his service, no one finds it problematic. The bullies have deep wallets and the guard is a powerful ability user so they choose to not mess with him and follow the way called money rules.
"Good work, I already wired the promised payment. I hope you will keep on working with us!" Krillin crackled laughter while a group of well-dressed boys and a girl pushed some kids against the wall. Most of them were freshmen, some were their favorite boys favorite boy is a label given to the students that the bullies love to beat.
The boys on the wall had red cheeks and bruised arms. Looks like they had already been hit a dozen or so times. They cried, pitifully begging for mercy but the beating and abuse didn't stop. All of them were weak ability users. Their rank could be discerned by the number on their Student ID cards. Each Student ID card had a front and back computerized side.
The numbers on the front side of the student ID card indicated the ability user rank while the number on the back determined their Academic credit. The Student ID card was necessary for those below 20 as without it, they won't be able to go out of the stronghold to hunt magical beasts. Marvin was only 18 years old, hence the Student ID card was extremely necessary to him otherwise, he won't be able to make enough money to afford his living and all the burden of the family will fall on the shoulder of Alexa.
Anyways, weak students with pathetic abilities are the only students the bullying gangs of the rings are able to bully. People like Marvin, who are around rank-1 or rank-2, are their favorite target.
"Krillin, who was it?" His friend curiously asked.
"It's Guard Jonathan; little bastard Marvin is finally here!" Krillin jumped out of his chair and stood before the entire group. "Let's go, we got a score to settle!"
He commanded the entire group to follow him.
"Um, can we go, please?" At that moment, one of the bullied students, Jayden groveling on his knees asked. The rest looked towards the rank-3 ring group with hopeful eyes. They wished to be set free from this plight.
Krillin group was classified as a rank-3 ring group; for they had rank-3 ability users.
"Boss, what should we do with these rats? Let them go for today or...?" A girl by the side kindly reminded Krillin while gazing at the abused and bullied students by the wall.
"Let them go away?" Krillin's venomous voice was tinged with poisonous. He was already burning with anger because Bai Yue has injured him and his friend because of Marvin. He wanted to furiously beat someone to release the anger burning his heart so how could he let go of these sacrificial lambs?
He lifted his fist and gave Jayden a hard punch on the face.
"Who gave you the permission to talk? You think a trash like you can ignore my command and say whatever?!" He cursed while swinging his fist continuously until Jayden's nose broke.
Jayden reminded Krillin of Marvin, that unyielding bastard, hence he directed his anger at the poor boy.
He then stood up and ran towards the main building which was nearby his current location. Marvin was his main priority, after all.
While going away, Krillin shouted at the top of his lungs,
"Maria, bring them with us. A great show is about to begin. They are the perfect candidates to participate in it."
"Sure!" Maria replied.
Three rank-2 tank-type ability users and one rank-3 speed type ability user followed beside him while Maria used her ability to bound Jayden and three others in chains. Like captured street dogs, Jayden and the others were forced to follow Maria, who pulled them by the chain.
