GENUINE SUPERHUMAN

Chapter 10 : Arrogant Superhuman.

Lik could tell that I wasn't afraid of him at all. But why an ordinary kid behaved so arrogant, intimidating and domineering?

Seeing me approaching him fearlessly, his heart began pounding rapidly. He instinctively took some steps backward. When he realized his instinct move he became furious and annoyed.

"You!"

He snarled at me.

 

The atmosphere became tense and cold.

"Now, I'm gonna show you that what I talk is not crap and I have qualifications to say so."

I continued walking toward him.

Sensing danger, Lik took out a small dagger and said while snorting.

"Punk! Don't come closer"

Nonetheless, he was retreating but this time it was no longer an instinct reaction.

Heather quickly rushed and stood between us blocking  Lik.

"Everyone calm down. No need to fight useless and meaningless battles."

Heather said trying to stop us from fighting. 

"GET LOST!"

I barked through gritted teeth. I had superpowers, how could I let an ordinary person insult me? Lik had to be taught that I was someone he could not afford to offend. 

"Heather leave him. Let us all beat him so that he can learn his lesson. That lesson will be beneficial to him in the future."

This evil and ridiculous voice came from the young man who stood next to Lik. 

"You want to fight together? How funny?"

I wasn't fazed by their plan of fighting together. 

All of them couldn't help being petrified. They wondered why I had that courage. It was so rare.

"So what you know is threatening weak people?"

Arrogant and deep voice spread throughout the area catching everyone's attention. 

In the next instant we all stared to the direction of the voice with enthusiasm.

An arrogant-looking, robust and tall young man stood between another two other young men. He had his hands crossed over his chest.

He looked a bit imposing but not intimidating.

The two young men carried laptop bags. One of the two carried two laptop bags in which one bag probably belonged to the arrogant-looking and tall young man. 

Everyone could tell at a glance that these were high school kids.

"Fred, you don't have the right to poke your nose in our business."

I said while glancing at him with a warning gaze.

Hearing my words, Fred's face turned gloomy and murderous.

"How dared you talk back to me? You don't qualify to tell me whether I should get involved or not. No one on this planet is qualified to tell me what to do. I'm including the police and army"

He said in cold and extremely domineering tone.

His words astonished everyone. He was a merely white high school kid. How come he behaved so arrogant in front of neighborhood gangsters. 

Of course only me amongst the gangsters understood why. I left school campus few hours before the actual knocking off time. I was certain that my classmates had told Fred the truth about the mysterious light. 

However, Fred only got strength as that of the super soldier. That was not enough to be remarkably arrogant.

He thought he was above everyone and we all didn't exist in his eyes. That was peerless arrogance and smugness. 

"What makes you think so?"

I asked with a sneer.

A wicked grin appeared on his face as he looked at me with malevolence. 

"Does that mean you want to know and see why you're not qualified to tell me what to do?"

His tone, words and his menacing eyes carried a hint of dominance and it gave me a premonition of danger so I didn't reply him. 

'Is he terrifyingly strong to the point that he looked down on everyone including the police and army?'

I thought. 

After all, I had left the school campus earlier thus I was unware about what happened afterward. 

"Coward! You can't even reply. All you know is bullying these pathetic weak people. How laughable! Haha"

He guffawed as if he had heard the greatest joke on the planet. 

Displeased by his behaviour, my face turned gloomy. He kept humiliating me and I couldn't tolerate it any longer.

"With merely physical strength you start to think you're above everyone and overlord? What if you was powerful enough ? Hphm!"

I yelled on top of my lungs. 

My words struck a sour tone within him. His face darkened immediately and pointed his finger at me.

"Punk! You don't qualify to talk to me in such tone. You better watch it!"

It had been only a few hours since we got the superpowers but we're already acting extremely arrogant and domineering. Hpmh!

An awkward thought flashed in my brain.

'What if these superpowers will only last for a few hours or days? With this arrogant and domineering behaviour, we could not survive the retaliation of those people we had bullied.

I shot a glance at Fred and sneered in disgustment. 

"Qualify? Qualifications? You don't understand those words right?"

I spat out a question which was full of ridicule. Anyway I had provoked him. There was no way to act obedient. 

At that moment, Fred face turned gloomier and he made no attempt to conceal the evil intent in his eyes.

"Punk, you overrated your abilities but will you blame me for that?"

He said through gritted teeth as he took steps forward toward me. 

I sensed his terrifying strength and became scared. I had no choice but retreating.

"Hah! Why are you retreating? You're just a chicken and you cannot do anything to me"

He said with an evil grin painted across his face.

Hearing his words, I felt embarrassed and humiliated. The corner of my mouth couldn't help raise and I was forced to stop retreating. 

Fred was not a friend of Lik or any gangster here. The only reason why he deciced to get involved was to show prowess and humiliate me. He wanted to show that he was the most powerful superhuman among three of us.

"I'm not afraid of you gee."

I said in soft voice while sneering. But timidness could clearly be heard in my tone.

By this time, Fred was already closely in front of me. Only a foot separated us. Overwhelming force caused my face to stiffen. 

A sensational of danger rose within my body causing my heart to race.
