Chapter 8

300 years ago, some humans married different races and this action birthed a new race called demi-human. Those races were welcomed by the humans until 100 years ago, when they rebelled, wanting to enslave the humans and be the overload. Thankfully their plan failed and they were chased away from Earth, anyone found would be instantly killed and that was why Trigon was shocked to find one in the school.

How did she sneak in?

The answer was obvious, there might be someone at the top brass of the school that helped her, then this led to another question.

What was her identity?

Obviously, they just can't sneak anybody demi-human right?

Thinking so, Trigon decides to try his best and keep his distance away from that girl till he finds some clues to determine his next action.

2 Hours Later

Coming back to his room covered in sweat was Trigon and without hesitation, he went into the bathroom took his bath and slumped onto the bed for a short nap.

"System, please wake me up after 30 minutes." He said.

And the system did, by blaring a loud noise into his consciousness which jolted him awake.

"Next time, please, tune down your sound," Trigon grumbled as he looked at his watch.

"Oh, it's Dinner time."

Standing up and stretching his body, Trigon headed out by following the map towards where the cafeteria was located.

Stepping in, Trigon discovered it was crowded with people from different classes and the place was so noisy.

"Damn! Guess what? Victoria Aang's nude picture has been leaked online!"

"Really?! Share the link with me let me check! I'm sure she's damn hot!"

"Look, Crimson had a death battle with Emmy and he killed Emmy last night?"

"Wow, doesn't that mean no one can take Crimson down among his classmates?"

Looking around, Trigon discovered most of them were using their watch phone to browse the Internet. Being from a poor family he never got a chance to own such a device and now that he has it, he didn't even find it interesting except if he needed to browse some urgent information.

To him, what matters right now is power.

Looking around, with his sharp observation Trigon discovered the seating arrangement was odd. On the right side on some luxurious designed tables and chairs sat students with high levels of 5, 6 and 7. At the center with normal metallic tables and chairs sat people 3 and 4 while at the left side with wooden chairs and tables were the bottom feeders, 1 and 2.

After those observations, Trigon joined the lines and waited for his turn to collect food. Finally, it was his turn and he paid 1 point for some watery soup with tiny meat inside and some bread. To him, this was a luxurious food since he hardly even got the chance to eat meat.

Finally turning around to find an empty chair, just when Trigon wanted to move towards the chair, he subconsciously spotted the four boys led by the so-called Zapper.

Immediately, he lowers his head and tries hiding his presence by staying behind someone but sadly they spot him.

"Hey Zapper, isn't that kid the one you zap back then?" One of them called out.

"Mmm, it is him. I can't believe he was able to walk to the cafeteria without pain." Zapper says as he walks towards Trigon who tries pretending like he didn't see them, the next thing he saw was Zapper appearing before him and slapping his tray of food away, making them to pour on the floor.

"Poor souls like you don't deserve to eat in the same place as me." Zapper sneered as he looked at Trigon condensely.

Hearing those words, Trigon held back his anger and wanted to bend down and pick his bread but suddenly.

Squash

One of the guys following Zapper stepped on the bread.

"I haven't even eaten anything since yesterday till today," Trigon muttered as he looked at the food on the ground with a pang of pain, what did he do to deserve such treatment?

He merely asked them for directions back then and they beat him up, as if that wasn't enough, they don't even want to let him eat peacefully!

"What did you say?" Perhaps not hearing Trigon clearly, one of them asked to which Trigon didn't reply.

"Ain't I talking to you?" The guy yelled.

"I didn't..."

Slap!

Trigon didn't get to complete his words before a hot slap which nearly dislocated his jaw landed on him and sent him crashing onto the floor.

"The last time I remember, we told you, whenever you want to talk to us. Go on your knees!" Zapper let out harshly.

Right now, a little blood was dripping out of Trigon's mouth as he clenched his fist, enduring the humiliation.

Looking around, he discovered no one was interested in helping him, instead, they sat there watching him like some sought of entertainment.

'Are these the so-called heroes of humanity?'

'Everyone is corrupted! No one deserves to be saved!'

'It will be nice if the Dracula wipe the whole of us out of the universe!'

Trigon thought with his blood boiling.

"Yo! Someone is angry." Zapper mocked as he sent a kick right into Trigon's stomach, sending him flying backwards.

"Bring him towards me! I will make sure to break every single bone in his body." Zapper ordered arrogantly.

But just when the three guys were about to head towards Trigon someone suddenly appeared and blocked them.

Looking at his watch they could see 5.5 on it showing his level wasn't something to joke about.

"Touch my friend one more time and I will disregard any form of respect and deal with your gang Zapper." Lexmus coldly said, stopping the others from approaching Trigon.

Zapper looked at Trigon coldly then at Lexmus, without hesitation he said, "Guys leave him, there will be plenty of chances to beat him up in the future."

With that, they retreated leaving everyone in confusion as to why they retreated despite being stronger than Lexmus, definitely Lexmus alone wouldn't be able to handle them all right?

Finally, with a complicated look, Lexmus looked down on Trigon who was clutching his stomach in pain and said, "Let's take you to the hospital."
