2023-07-12 20:30:27What is going on here?
"I don't believe it!"
Clandel, the one they called General, roared.
Seeing this, many were happy.
"Tsk. Brother Clandel is pissed! This useless bastard is dead for sure!"
"Yeah. Brother Clandel is so angry now. The consequences will definitely be severe. Just wait and see."
"Hmph! This useless dog doesn't even have the chance to defend itself now."
"That's right. It can be seen that Brother Clandel was indeed not serious and careless before! But now, he will teach him the true meaning of courting death!"
"…"
The few minions heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Clandel had only been doing a warm-up on the bastard before.
But little did they know that their mighty Clandel was already at his wit's end with Gray.
What's going on?
Clandel was inwardly sweating buckets, wondering what was wrong with this bastard all of a sudden.
Never in his life has he felt so angry and helpless all at once.
Rather than screaming and begging for mercy, Gray looked as though he was bored.
Clandel almost lost his footing after hearing his whispery complaints.
"Haven't you not eaten lunch today? Why are you so weak?"
Bastard!
"You're the one who is weak! Your father is weak! Your entire generation is weak!" Clandel retorted to himself, listening to Gray's annoying muffling words.
Screw you!
He was one of the most feared people in school with an establishment resume on his strength level and beating capabilities.
So why the hell is he weak?
Pah!
Pah!
Pah!
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Pah!
[ +0 points.]
Gray turned his back to Clandel in annoyance, as though he was turning one bed to sleep on the other side after someone was waking him up.
If you know you don't have the strength, why let him waste his time with you?
"You bastard!"
Don't think he doesn't know what Gray is thinking when seeing him roll his heavenwards.
Are you calling him weak?
That's it! He was done playing Mister Nice Guy.
All this while, he didn't want to use his special abilities since it would be a hassle to kill ordinary people as an awakened human. But Gray was really pushing him over the edge here.
Suddenly, everyone including Alder and Gray noticed Clandel's change.
A swirl of red aura exploded around him, as the wind current became defined by the red aura, allowing everyone to see Crescent shapes form in the air.
Oh No!
Clandel was about to unleash his Wind Wrath technique.
One slash on a Mortal and your body would be so cleanly divided you won't even feel the pain.
Everyone's face turned ashen; but seeing as Adler didn't speak, they had no choice but to zip their lips.
Gray on the other hand felt he was about to experience true hell.
He suddenly felt cold, as a menacing killing aura surrounded him leaving him with no way to go.
He had really stepped on the tiger's tail here.
"System, I won't really die, right? What are my chances of surviving?"
[Zero… The Host is still an ordinary human… Only an awakened person has a chance of surviving.]
"In other words..."
[You're on your own, host.]
F***!
Gray inwardly cursed, hating himself for thinking this system was omnipotent enough to protect him.
"Be honest, you have something against me, right?" Why didn't the system tell him this golden rule before he arrogantly pranced over?
What should he do? What should he do now?
He was only a few points shy from being an awakened human.
If Clandel had just given room for another person to beat him up, he would definitely gather enough points to become awakened.
Bottom line, only an awakened punching bag can take hits from awakened beings.
In his current ordinary form, he stood no chance of surviving at all!
Seeing as Clandel was about to make a move, Gray's face turned distorted and fearful for the first time since the rain of beatings began.
Mommy...
Was his rise to the top and his awesome protagonist journey going to be cut off here?
Gray had already envisioned what he wanted to be written on his gravestone, seeing as he was truly helpless against Clandel's might.
Goodbye cruel world.~
Gray closed his eyes tight, waiting for the worst to happen.
But why did he suddenly feel a strange force pulling him aside?
Boom!
Clandel's attack landed its mark on the floor but not on the person he wished.
So fast?... Who is it?
Clandel and everyone looked up to see a man in a sleek dark suit and well-laid-back combed hair holding onto Gray underneath one hand.
A hero? Well of course not.
The man looked at Gray in disgust before kicking Gray like a ball into a nearby dumpster with divine accuracy.
"How dirty."
Frowning, the man then took off his gloves, burning them with bluish-green flames from his fingertips before taking out another pair of gloves and putting them on again.
[Gray]: "..." Am I so repulsive?
Well, for the sake that you saved him, he will forgive you just this once.
Had the man known Gray's true thoughts, maybe he would have finished Gray off and decided to finish Gray off rather than save him.
.
The man who looked no older than 29, calmly placed a hand in his right pocket and walked toward Adler with an expressionless face.
"Young master, you are being summoned by the master."
Adler casually nodded, slowly rising and following the man out of the alleyway into an expensive limo.
Seeing Adler enter the vehicle, the man turned his attention to Clandel and the others.
His aura suddenly turned beastly and everyone had the illusion they were standing before a great demon.
"Now listen here, you pieces of shit... You all know the rules... You cannot use your powers on ordinary people. If we start attacking them all, who will be our laborers to keep this dump running? Huh? We need them to toil for us to work for us! To fear us and not to die at every turn. If you want to end him, there are other ways we can do it. But it must never be traced back to the young master… Understood?"
Everyone, including Clandel, was shaking in their boots. They wanted to answer but their tongues seemed swollen as though bitten by a thousand bees.
BOOM!
The man's aura grew 20 times stronger, causing everyone to drop to their knees in horror.
"I said... understood?"
"Ye-ye-ye-ye-yes sir..."
"Good." The man adjusted his tie and slowly retracted his aura, getting into the limo and lowering the windows down.
"See to it that this little incident never repeats itself."

Settling In
Venturing into the academy, everyone was not disappointed. There were towering castle-like stony buildings scattered around with magnificent giant statutes. Wow! Was that water flowing out from the mouths of several stone dragon heads? Gray had never seen anything like this before! The buildings were all so gigantic, and the space stretched out for as far as the eyes could see, enclosing many hills, paths and terrains. Some buildings stood on hills, others stood on cliff sides, and some stood on ground floor with massive ancient fountains shooting out at the center of their many courtyards.Many people's hearts hammered in their chests, feeling country bumpkins seeing city life for the first time. Everyone who has gotten accepted into the academy, was obviously an awakened human. So kicking their feet, they steadily ran forward to cover more ground. Walking normally will take them forever to get to their quarters. So how dare they dilly dally when nightfall had already come?
Making A Big Splash?
After fighting, boxing, stabbing and punching, Gray finally saw the academy’s silhouette from a distance. “Really there?” Real or fake? The siblings, Fariel and Faron, who were behind Gray, were painting heavily, wondering how this guy could fight and keep running at the speed he did without even breaking a sweat. You have to know that they were panting so hard after running 5 hours at max speed while carrying their luggage. Fortunately, this guy didn't mind fighting off the many underground creatures and clearing the path for them. Who was he truly? Could this guy be a senior and not a first year like them? Giving each other tactful stares, suddenly, they didn't feel like geniuses anymore after being with Gray for this short time. Just this accident that happened earlier, allowed them to know how big the world truly was. Forget revenge. They must first grow strong enough to survive before thinking of ever making a move at their cousin who clearly had all the resources an
Gray To The Rescue
In another corner, a broken down vehicle was getting ambushed by flesh eating plants from all corners. The vines yanked the massive metal tires away, before reaching force to tears the rest of the vehicle apart. Bam! The 2 siblings in the vehicle broke through the vehicle’s roof, getting on it while fighting the many vines that came their way. “Brother!” The dainty girl with brown hair in a ponytail and short bangs, quickly called to her brother when feeling a sharp pain on her left leg. Oh no! One of the spiky vines was now wrapped several times around her leg, pulling her away without mercy. “Sister!!!” ~Slash! Slash! Slash! The brown curly haired boy sliced and diced with his long twin blades with a pale face when seeing his sister getting dragged into the ground below. They were supposed to go to the academy, grow strong together, so they can finally take their revenge on their despicable cousin who caused their parent’s deaths. Their journey towards revenge had just
The Perilous Journey to Phoenix Tide Academy
Vrmmmmm! The vehicle roared to life, its engine bellowing like a beast unleashed. Gray's cheeks flapped wildly, his gums fully exposed as Yegan's car surged forward with incredible speed. "Fuck!" Gray cursed inwardly, his fingers digging into the seat. In this post-apocalyptic era, seatbelts were a forgotten luxury, a relic of a safer past. Just having a car, especially one pieced together from rusted scrap, was a miracle in itself. If Gray had been born before the apocalypse, he would have marveled at these current steampunk-inspired vehicles that ran on water and sometimes coal. The engin
The Aftermath
The Dean looked at Yegan's gangster attitude and wasn't offended. Reaching for the bottom of his desk, he calmly took out 2 vials and threw them Gray's way. Gray held on to them in confusion but soon understood their uses thanks to the dean and the system. The first was a Grade Z-3 Energy gathering elixir. It was blue and would make many newly awakened humans breakthrough in strength. Having a Z-3 grade potion was very unbelievable. Do you know what Z-3 is? In Z-sphere, pills, potions and elixirs are graded from Z-1 to Z-6. Weapons and skills are also graded as such. For people like them at the bottom of the awakened food chain, a Z-3 potion was like a godly item dropped from the heavens. The next vial contained 4 red booster pills that will give anyone additional strength for at most an hour after taking it. It's just that your eyes will give away the fact that you took it. Still, when fighting for your life out in the forest or dangerous places, who cares if your ey
Stronghold Rewards
"Teacher," Lohan's voice humbly bellowed. "Apologies, won't be going with you at once. But I swear to report to the academy soonest."He came from a clan and had several matters to finalize before leaving. What's more, if he left his mother without so much as a simple goodbye, he truly believed the woman would storm the academy and break in just to give him a good beating. Don't underestimate his mother. In their clan, although his father was a Patriarch, his mother was stronger than his father. It's said that growing up, his mother used to beat his father in battles so badly that anyone with common sense would stay away. But his father seemed to be a different breed, sticking his mother like glue. One thing led to another and now, they're married with 2 children, himself and his younger sister. It was amazing how many times Lohan had heard his father falling off from bed from his mother's kicks. His mother loved wearing handles and always walked with her hands on her waist an
