Awakened The Strongest Talent

Chapter 3

Draken rushed into his bathroom and took a quick shower and wore his second uniform since the other one was stained with blood. 

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Draken combed his curly brown hair and made it cover his forehead and part of his eyes. While glancing at himself in the mirror, Draken could notice the change in his body features.

"Hmm..I gained some muscles, eh?" Draken said while combing his hair and whistling. For the first time in a long time he felt good.

After finishing up in the bathroom, Draken stepped out and grabbed his wrist watch before walking out.

Students could all be seen heading to the cafeteria food breakfast. Draken noticed lots of students turning around to face him anytime he passed by them. 

It felt normal to Draken since it occured daily and they were probably mocking him and gossiping about what happened between him and Matthew yesterday.

“Am I imagining things, or is Sonia staring at me?” Draken pondered in shock as he walked past a girl, pretending he didn't see her.

Sonia has always been Draken's crush ever since he arrived in the academy. Sonia was no doubt the most beautiful girl in the academy that every single guy crave for. Her pretty face like a doll and a nice seductive body.

When Draken tried proposing to her,she turned him down and also ordered some guys to punish him in public for having the guts to approach someone like her proposing love.

“What's with him today? He didn't even spare me a glance,” Sonia mused with a surprised expression as Draken walked past her like she wasn't even there at all. In the past, Draken would usually have his mouth wide open while daydreaming over her beauty anytime he saw her.

"Is it me or there is something different about that Loser?" One of Sonia's friend known as Areum questioned while pointing towards Draken.

"There is nothing different about him. He will always be the trash we all know," Sonia spat, before resuming her step.

Draken on the other hand could hear them clearly even if he was far away,and a smirk appeared on his face. 

“This is just the beginning, Sonia. Soon, you will beg for me, and I will just repay you with what you did to me. Maybe worse,” Draken mused. 

Ever since he woke up, his whole senses were heightened. His sight, hearing, nose, they all seem to work in a superhuman way. 

His eyesight was now sharper and clearer than it used to be, even without his glasses. Same as his hearing, he could hear the words of people standing a few meters away like they were beside him.

“Seems like everyone is beginning to notice me, eh? All because of this new stuff? I wonder where the power came from,” Draken mused with a smile before stepping into the cafeteria.

Draken walked over to the counter and the server couldn't help but shoot Draken with glares of disdain. Draken didn't think about it too much as he retrieved the food tray and began to walk over to the table where his one and only friend was.

"Sup, Danny," Draken greeted before sitting down on the empty chair beside Danny. Danny's hair was shaved low, his body looked skinny and feeble, and his face meek like an angel.

Just like Draken, Danny also goes through hell every single day in the academy. His talent was also a useless one, making him easy to be picked on by the others.

"How is your ribs?" I saw what those guys did to you yesterday," Danny questioned with a worried expression. The beating those bullies gave Draken yesterday was so severe that Danny got surprised when he saw Draken walking normal like nothing happened.

"I'm okay, bro. You don't have to worry..." Before Draken could finish in his words, he felt a warm liquid wet his curly brown hair and the liquid dripped down and stained his face and uniform. Draken lifted up his hand and rubbed the liquid to confirm the content. It was soda.

HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA.

The whole students in the cafeteria broke out in laughter as Draken got drenched in soda. Draken buried his head down as he took out a wiper and was about to clean himself up, but the wiper was snatched from him immediately.

"I can't let you do that," Matthew said before dropping the wiper on the floor and stepping on it to mess it up.

"Hey, that's not fair! Why won't you leave us alone?!" Danny shouted from where he sat, his two hands strapped in his crutches as he struggled to his feet with his crouches.

"Seems you have forgotten so soon what i did to you, baldie?" Matthew voiced, causing Danny's heart to skip a beat as memories of how Matthew dealt with him and injured him critically to the extent he couldn't walk anymore.

Danny had no parents,no one was there to back him up even after Matthew almost ended his life that day. So the whole thing was swept under the rug and Danny could only move himself forward with the help of the crouches.

"I bet you have forgotten," Matthew added, before signaling his guys to go step forward and hold Danny. "Hold him down for me."

One of the boys grabbed Danny's hand and ripped off the clutch, he lifted it up and bent it like the letter "U" before tossing it aside. Danny fell down to the floor, unable to stand properly.

The other boy quickly grabbed Danny's shirt and forced him up to his feet. "ARRGH!" 

Danny screamed in pain as the boy forced him to his feet even when he knew he couldn't stand or walk on his own.

"Haha, I am going to teach you bald weak fools never to poke your nose in matters that don't concern you!" Matthew voiced, standing directly in front of Danny, he clenched his fist tightly and swung out a punch.

Danny had no choice than to close his eyes,grit his teeth,and await the blow.

PAH!

The blow was blocked inches away from Danny by an unknown hand. Matthew shifted his gaze to the fool that had the guts to interfere, and all he saw was a teenage boy with curly brown hair that covered half of his eyes holding onto his hand.

"Don't you think you've done enough?" Draken questioned, clenching Matthew's fist and making his bones squeeze until it finally broke.

CRACK! KYYAAAAA!

A loud bone cracking sound reverberatted throughout the cafeteria, and what followed after was Matthew wailing in agony. The whole cafeteria fell silent after watching the student they all deem as a trash easily break Matthew's fist.

"How dare you touch Matthew, you Trash!" One of Matthew's huge minion named Jobe shouted as he charged forward in anger.
