Chapter 12 My hoodie!

Theodore was often bullied. He was normally a very careful person. He saw that there was a man in a leather jacket. Follow him since he's been shopping at the supermarket.

At first, Theodore wasn't sure if he was just a customer shopping for something similar to him. But when he saw that the man had not bought anything. His doubts increased.

Theodore was now walking towards a less crowded path. He could feel that the man was walking towards him faster. 

Theodore did not wait for the man to come to him. He tensed the muscles in his legs. before rushing forward with great speed.

“D*mn it, He knows!”

This man was Smith. The man George hired to deal with Theodore. He at first thought it was an easy job. Seeing Theodore's running speed. He knew right away. Theodore was not ordinary

"Running speed. The way he came out...this kid was extraordinary. Two thousand dollars doesn't seem to be the right price.”

Smith would think so. But he continued to chase after Theodore. He will deal with Theodore first. and go raise money with George later. He knew that George was a money man. He wasn't afraid that George wouldn't raise his money.

Theodore looked at the man. He saw that the man could run after him. although he was twice as fast as a normal person.

“Who exactly are you?”

Theodore wasn't sure who the man was. But he guessed he must relate to George.

“He can run that fast for a long time. That kid has extreme stamina.”

Smith was breathing unrhythmically. He was able to follow Theodore's speed. But his endurance was less.

“Humph! D*mn, where is that kid going to run to?”

Smith didn't think Theodore would be this strong. His speed was starting to slow down. less and less If this continues Theodore had escaped him for sure.

He now had no other way. If he continued to let Theodore run like this, He'd run out of chances to deal with Theodore. He took something out of his shirt. It was a stun gun. He fired it at Theodore.

Even though Theodore was fast, he couldn't dodge the stun gun speed. Plus, Smith is also very accurate at shooting a gun.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Theodore was completely stunned. Electricity ran through his body. Smith thought he had caught Theodore for sure, but the stunned Theodore, instead of being knocked out or unable to move. He looked back at Smith angrily.

“My hoodie! Why, why do you have to damage my hoodie!”

Theodore didn't care anymore. He jumped up and punched Smith hard. Smith was completely unprepared for Theodore's punch. He even fell backwards.

This was the hoodie Avina bought for him as a birthday present.

The man was the one who forced him to be mean. Theodore will beat him until he forgets the way home.

With four times the endurance and health of a normal person. This reduced the pain sensation received from a stun gun four times as well.

Theodore, who was now hit by a stun gun, did not faint. He can also punch back. Of course, he was subjected to electric currents circulating in his body. It slowed him down by about thirty percent. But even if his speed dropped thirty percent, he was still faster than the average person.

Smith didn't think Theodore could withstand an electric shock, nor did Theodore get angry because his hoodie was damaged to the point that he ignored anything and punched him.

Smith is an advanced specialist. He couldn't escape Theodore's attack. But he was able to reduce the damage from attacks. He established himself and rushed towards Theodore again. He was now more careful.

Theodore could throw punches like a professional boxer. However, he still lacked a lot of combat experience. He punched Smith again. This time, Smith was able to stand up. He was able to quickly dodge Theodore's fists.

Smith dodged Theodore's punch and punched Theodore's stomach .

“Arg!”

Theodore felt numb. but just a little. 

Smith, who had already punched Theodore's stomach, had a weird look on his face.

“What kind of body is this? Why is his stomach so hard?!”

Smith felt his hand hurt. He didn't think Theodore's stomach would be that hard. He, who had a sore hand, didn't even pull his hand back. He was completely punched by Theodore in the face.

"Oh! It hurts!”

Theodore doesn't care. He punched Smith repeatedly.

Smith was able to dodge Theodore's fists with his speed. But he couldn't completely dodge Theodore's fists. There were three or four punches hit him. Theodore, too, was hit back by him, but didn't show any pain on his face.

Smith was surprised. What happened?

What is happening now? 

Theodore got a warning message telling him what was going on with his body right now.

-------------

Due to being attacked by electricity.

-------------

Electric resistance increased by 25%.

-------------

Due to being physically attacked.

-------------

Endurance increased by 10%.

-------------

The more Theodore was attacked, the more durable he became.

He was countered by Smith about ten times. One punch from Smith increased his endurance by 1%. Theodore didn't know how heavy Smith's fist was. But what he knew for sure now was that Smith's fists hadn't dealt much damage to him.

“Argh! What is your body made of? Why is it that the more I hit you, the more you're getting tougher.”

Smith now feels the job wasn't worth the money. Two thousand dollars had to meet this terrifying kid.

Theodore clenched his fist tightly. Instead of answering Smith about his body. Theodore yelled at him for the damage he did to his hoodie.

“You made a hole in my hoodie. Do you know that this hoodie is an important gift that my sister gave me? My sister had to work very hard to make money. But you... You tore my hoodie!”

Smith looked at the now very angry Theodore. His eyebrows twitched every time he heard the word hoodie.

He didn't think this hoodie would have that much sentimental value to Theodore. It made him feel guilty. He could only curse George in his heart. He had already told George he would not take the job of dealing with good boys.

Smith looked at Theodore. Look, this boy is clearly a good boy. He let out a sigh before stopping his posture. and speak directly.

“Kid, I will be honest with you. I got a job from George. I'll only beat the bad boys for that guy. which is normal. But now no matter how I look at it, kid. You're not a bad kid at all. take this? I don't want to take the job anymore. I'll give you a thousand dollars. It's compensation for that hoodie, how is that?"

Theodore looked at Smith. He tried to see if Smith was telling the truth. One thousand dollars for him was a lot. Avina's monthly salary was only two thousand and five hundred dollars.

This money was equal to Avina's work for almost half a month.

Smith saw Theodore's interest. He took the money out of his pocket. Before sending it to Theodore, Theodore took the money bluntly. He looked at Smith. He found that Smith had turned his back on him and was ready to walk away.

“Kid, I see that you are capable. If interested in earning more, contact me. My number is on the paper I attached with the money. And don't worry that the job I invited you to do is illegal. It is the most legit job that can be.”

Smith finished speaking and walked away. Theodore sighed. He looked at the money in his hand before collecting it.

“There are really a lot of strange people in this world. But beat the bad kids? For real.”

Theodore looked at his hoodie. He had to fix his hoodie first. and then he will sew the doll afterwards. As for Smith and George, he will think about it later.
