Chapter 122: The Ripple Effect
The heavy doors of the Chancellor’s office clicked shut behind Marcus, cutting off the sound of the old man’s frantic apologies.Zane didn't need to be told what to do. He stepped right into his usual position, a few paces behind Marcus’s shoulder, as they started down the hallway. But the walk back didn't feel like the walk there. It felt worse.Before, the students were curious. Now, they were terrified. You could see it in the way they reacted the moment they spotted the duo from a distance. Some people turned on their heels so fast they almost tripped, suddenly remembering they had somewhere else to be. Others pressed themselves against the walls to leave a massive gap in the center of the hall, like they were clearing a path for royalty.A few didn't even try to hide their submission. As Marcus walked past, they lowered their heads, and one or even two actually gave a small, shaky bow. It wasn't out of respect— it was pure, raw fear.Marcus noticed every single flinch and avert
Chapter 121: Eyes That Watch
The classroom stayed deathly quiet even after the announcement had been cut off. Every single head was turned toward Marcus, waiting to see if he’d look scared or panicked.Instead, he just leaned back in his chair, looking like he’d been called for something as boring as a routine attendance check. He let out a small, relaxed breath.“Well,” he said, his voice smooth and untroubled as he stood up. “That’s unexpected.”Beside him, Emmanuel snapped his head around, his eyes wide with genuine worry. “Bro... what did you do?” he whispered, his voice cracking just a bit.Marcus didn’t rush. He picked up his things calmly, not letting the pressure of the room get to him. “I think I already have an idea,” he said. He gave Emmanuel a quick, reassuring glance. “I’ll tell you all about it when I’m back.”That didn’t make Emmanuel feel any better. He looked like he was watching his friend walk into a lion's den.Marcus walked out the door with a steady stride, and just like a shadow that couldn
Chapter 120: Aftermath
The hallway stayed dead quiet for a long few seconds after Zane finally finished.It wasn’t a peaceful quiet. It was the kind of silence you get when a group of people just watched something so brutal they’re actually afraid to breathe. Every student standing in that corridor was paralyzed, their eyes wide, watching the three bodies on the floor and then looking at the man with the orange hair who had just been dismantled. They looked at Zane as if he were a monster wearing a human suit.Zane stood over them, his face as blank and expressionless. He wasn’t huffing for air, he wasn't shaking— he looked like he’d just finished a light stroll. It was that lack of emotion that really messed with the people watching.Behind him, Marcus had this tiny, knowing smirk. He didn't need to say a word, his face said everything— Exactly as I planned.Zane reached up and tapped a small comms piece tucked into his collar. His voice was a low, gravelly mumble. “I’ll need a cleanup.”That was it. He
Chapter 119: The Breaking Point
The hallway remained quiet. Nobody spoke, and nobody even shifted their weight. Every single eye hidden in the corridor was locked on the last man standing— the one with the orange hair.For a heartbeat, nothing happened. Then, he moved.It wasn’t normal fast. It was wrong fast. His body blurred forward so quickly that for a split second, faint streaks trailed behind him— thin, flickering orange lines in the air that looked like heat waves mixed with static electricity.Then the first hit landed.BANG.Zane’s head tilted slightly to the side from the force. A second hit came instantly.BANG.Then a third. BANG. BANG. BANG. The sound started stacking on itself, echoing violently through the hallway as the orange haired man circled him like a cyclone. He was striking from every possible angle— ribs, shoulder, side, back.To the students watching, it didn’t even look like a person moving anymore. It looked like Zane was being attacked by something invisible. Only the orange flashes gave
Chapter 118: Silent Enforcement
Marcus didn't move as he stood at the end of the corridor, his eyes scanning the three guys blocking the path.The first one had wild, orange streaked hair and looked like a predator waiting for a reason to snap. The second had that long scar cutting across his eye, giving him a permanent, ugly sneer. And the third... the third was like something out of a bad dream. He had one normal arm, but the other was a gleaming metal skeleton that caught the hallway lights and sent sharp reflections dancing across the floor.Marcus’s lips curved into a slow, calm smile. "Well... this is unexpected," he said softly, almost like he was talking to himself.The scarred man stepped forward first, his voice full of mockery. "You brought your boyfriend to school today," he said, dragging out every word to make it an insult. "You’ve been disrespectful lately, Marcus. Luckily, we’re here to fix that. And your friend? He gets to stay right there and watch."Marcus didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look anno
Chapter 117: The Blocked Path
The lecturer arrived a few moments later, and the lecture ended as if nothing had even happened. There were no big reactions or dramatic exits, it was just the usual sound of books closing, chairs scraping the floor, and students stretching because they were bored. But even though it looked normal, everyone knew it wasn't.Marcus stayed in his seat for a minute after the professor left. He kept glancing over at Freya, but she hadn't said a single word to him since she walked in. She didn't even look his way. She just sat there staring at nothing, like her mind was miles away from that classroom. Marcus watched her for a second longer before deciding she probably just needed some space.Beside him, Emmanuel was leaning back, still looking like he was trying to process the night before. "Man..." he muttered, shaking his head. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything."Marcus didn't say anything at first, so Emmanuel turned to him with his eyes wide. "Do you even realize w
