Sou"s face was now contorting into an angry face due to the kick that I have given to him. It was not a soft kick but a real blow that can remove a tooth. However, I am a bit merciful and did not do that to his smug face. I might get in real trouble if I did it so hard and it would be troublesome if he ask the people backing him for some help. Sou turned to his lackeys and groaned."F*ckers! Go and beat him up! What are you all standing in there like sh*t?!"
As soon as they hear the command, the lackeys quickly surrounded me with menacing looks in their faces. Many of these guys are new but some are also old and newbie from the group but all of them looked menacing so why not beat them up?
"Get him, guys!"
The delinquents threw themselves to me to pin me down but I quickly dodge away. Now that I got the bean from Miya that gave me the ability to master hand to hand combat, fighting against these delinquents are similar to fighting against kids.
Whenever they release a kick or a punch, a punch and a kick would also come to their way which usually hits in their abdomen, in their face, and sometimes, even in their crotch. One of the delinquents swing the baseball bat to me. Despite how swift the bat is, when the bat hits, it didn"t land to me but to one of his comrades since I used him as my meats.h.i.+eld. Since the swing is strong enough, it cost him his consciousness and the guy slumped to the ground.
The delinquents were not afraid still and continue to attack, now they are using tools like chairs and pipes to attack me.
"Woah, chill guys. I am an unarmed guy, and you all use weapons. Isn"t that unfair you know?"
"Shut up mothaf*cka! No one messes with us! Not even you!" and this guy raises the chair he is holding and swing it to my direction.
The only thing is, he did not have a precise grip on the left side of the chair and when I saw that, I didn"t wait for the chance to go to waste, I made a rolling kick and hit his arm with my shoe.
CRACK!
I heard something cracked but I didn"t know where. The guy holding the chair slumped into the ground and covers his hand that got kicked. I guess it might have hurt but oh well, that is just weak.
"Who"s next?"
Hearing these words caused them to get triggered.
"I think I want to beat him so badly today."
"Should we hang him again on that same tree?"
"I will wipe that smug look on your face right now!"
The delinquents were fired up as they were provoked by words. Just by looking at them makes me want to squint my eyes on how insignificant life beings they are before my eyes...
Wait... what the f*ck am I thinking? This is not the current mindset I am thinking right now. Anyways, I didn"t make to much fuss on it and prepared to retaliate. When the guys started to come straight to me, I also lunge forward and throw a punch on the nearest guy without batting an eye to the others. Their fighting style is very bland and very easy to predict. Anyone who would be calm and composed enough would be able to take on the whole group without breaking a sweat on them. I am not exaggerating their way of fighting. I am just stating the truth of their weakness.
I throw a punch here, a kick there, a slap here... I don"t know how many minutes has it been since I retaliated but after that, it didn"t cost me too much energy and was eager for more enemies. The only thing is that... I am the only one standing on the rooftop. Everyone else is groaning in pain and a few of them lost consciousness already. Although their injuries are a bit severe, it is not something that would cripple and endanger their life. At most, all of them are just a minimum beating compared to the amount of pain and humiliation I felt for years.
Sou started to frown seeing the result. He never expected that the outcome would be this one-sided. It was a really absurd thing for him to witness. Just how did a single guy singlehandedly defeat all of his lackeys? Aside from that, the person they meant to beat up ended up beating the h.e.l.l out of them. What is more, the one they lost against is the person that they formerly bullied in the past! Just what kind of sorcery is this?!
I started walking near them and tilted my head as I crouch near Sou"s pained face.
"How does it feel to taste the same helpless state you have given me in the past? Do you like it?" I asked with a small amount of contempt on my voice.
"You will pay for this!"
"I don"t have the money. But I can trade blows with you, what do you say?" And I punch him in the abdomen.
"Urk!" Sou almost coughed out blood. But with his several years of training, he managed to hold in the pain to puke out blood. Still, it made a strong toll for him which cost him to move around temporarily.
"I have no intention of mentioning all of the events in the past as I have already managed to move on from that. But you are the guy who never really cared if the person managed to move on or not. All you want is to remain up and being stared highly by others. I don"t really know what is going on with your head and you decided to attack me even though I am just trying to relax. You should have already known what would happen to you after doing all of that."
"You piece of sh*t... you won"t get away with this. I will tell my gramps to exact revenge for me."
I wanted to blurt out that it is so cliche and I already heard it many times in novels and ebooks but I decided not to so that his little ego will get tougher which would make his fall a bit rougher than what he expected as a good victory.
Bullies like him need someone to teach them a lesson. But I don"t want to be the one to do that. He can dig his own grave without me doing anything. I won"t retaliate unless he will really do what he is saying right now. I was about to say something else to him when the bell rings throughout the school ground. I look at him and shrugged.
"Ha, good thing you are saved by the bell. If you ever have the plan to deal with me, I will be waiting. I will make sure you regret everything..." and after saying that, I left the rooftop.
...
I was sidetracked from my original purpose in going to the rooftop and what happened earlier is just a very big waste of time. I didn"t come here to take revenge on what happened to me in the past. I came here to find the main cause of the abnormal magic awakening in this place. I am a bit frustrated that it made me a bit of a troubling side. Sou might keep on doing trouble to me starting tomorrow and might be the cause of me being interrupted by my original mission.
What a troubling thing it is but I don"t have a choice. If that guy will indeed come, he will be free to come and fight me on. But I just hoped he will not be disturbing me in frequent time. As for their injuries, I doubt they can go to their respective cla.s.srooms right now. But I am quite sure that once they get back, the teacher would send them to detention. A befitting punishment to a lawbreaker like him.
On my way back to the cla.s.sroom, I found the girl that has been emitting the same mana frequency earlier in front of the cla.s.sroom"s door. From the looks of it, she is waiting for someone. When I arrived near her, she looked up and saw my face. As soon as she did that, she quickly asked me a question.
"You can see me? You can really see me right?"
Hearing those words, I was struck confused. How come she is asking the obvious?
