Bron frowned deeply.

“That… doesn’t make sense. He was weak before.”

“That’s exactly why he’s interesting,” Derek replied.

He continued walking. “If you had gotten beaten in front of everyone…” he added lightly, “that would’ve been more embarrassing for me.”

Bron’s eyes widened slightly.

He hadn’t considered that possibility.

“…So you’re saying he’s strong now?”

Derek didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, he asked another question.

“Are you sure he was a weakling before?”

Bron nodded. “That’s the

    Miles moved first.The moment the tension snapped, he vanished from where he stood—his body launching forward in a blur, feet tearing across the dusty ground as he closed the distance between himself and Derek in an instant.Derek’s eyes sharpened.“So you’re serious.”He raised his hand.BOOM—!A violent shockwave erupted outward.The air itself seemed to explode, compressing and expanding in a brutal pulse aimed straight at Miles.But Miles was already gone.He twisted mid-sprint, his body bending unnaturally as the shockwave tore past him, slamming into the wall behind with a deafening crash.Concrete cracked.Dust burst into the air.Miles didn’t slow down.He surged forward again——but Derek was ready.Another flick of his hand—BOOM! BOOM!Two rapid shockwaves fired in succession, distorting the air like invisible hammers.Miles ducked the first.The second grazed him.THUD!The force clipped his side, sending him skidding across the ground.

    The temperature in the room seemed to drop. “So you can understand…” Derek finished quietly, “…who’s boss.” The lackeys shifted slightly, surrounding Miles from different angles. Blocking exits and Preparing for the onslaught Miles noticed but he didn’t move. Instead, he slowly placed his bag on the ground. His movements were calm. Controlled. Derek’s eyes flickered slightly. “…You’re not even pretending to run,” he observed. Miles smirked. “Run?” He rolled his shoulders slightly. “I came here on my own.” The atmosphere tightened. Bron stepped forward. “You’re about to regret that.” Miles looked at him briefly. “Maybe.” Then his gaze returned to Derek. “But I don’t think so.” Derek’s smile faded completely. For the first time, the friendly mask disappeared entirely. Only cold authority remained. “Last chance,” he said quietly. “Kneel.” The word echoed. Miles chuckled softly. “…No.” Silence. Then Derek sighed. “…Alright.” He raised his hand slightly. “Teach him a

    Miles stood alone.He exhaled slowly.Then pulled out his phone.He dialed a number.It rang once.Twice.Three times.Then—“Hello?”Mia’s gentle voice came through.Miles felt his chest loosen slightly. “…Hey.”Mia sounded surprised. “Brother? Why are you calling? Is everything okay?”Miles leaned against the sink. “I just… wanted to check on you.”There was a brief pause. “…That’s unusual,” Mia said softly. “Did something happen?”Miles shook his head, though she couldn’t see it. “No. I just suddenly missed you.”Mia laughed quietly. “You’re acting strange today.”“How are you?” Miles asked.“I’m fine,” she replied. “I had lunch already. I’m just resting.”Miles listened carefully to her voice.There was no sign of distress or fear which meant there was no problem.He felt relieved. “Don’t go out today,” he said casually.“Hm? Why?”“Just… stay home and rest.”“…Okay?”They chatted for another minute. Mia talked about a show she was watching. Miles responded occasionally, keeping

He wasn’t awakened. No backing. No strength. Just a normal student.”Owen crossed his arms.“…Maybe he awakened.”Derek smiled faintly.“That’s the most likely explanation.”They continued walking.“If he awakened recently,” Derek continued, “that would explain the change in confidence… the change in presence… and his sudden arrogance.”Bron clenched his fists slightly.“…So what now?”Owen glanced at Derek. “What’s the plan?”Derek’s smile widened slightly. “I’m not going t
