Awakened The Strongest Talent

Chapter 5

“Let's see how this Talent drain truly works,” Draken mused as Matthew launched the black energy towards him. When the energy was a few meters away from Draken, Draken also began to charge forward towards the energy beam.

With the beam now only a few inches away from Draken, he leaned backwards until his back was almost touching the floor, dodging the beam completely. After dodging it completely, Draken resumed in his steps, closing in on Matthew, he punched his right fist forward.

Just when Draken thought his punch would make an impact, Matthew formed a small energy shield right in front of him, blocking Draken's punch. Blocking the punch, Matthew leaped a few meters backwards and released another black energy beam.

"For crying out loud!" Draken voiced, swereving his body sideways and weaving the beam with ease.

'How is he able to dodge my beams so easily? Is this the same trash of yesterday?!' Matthew mused in disbelief, sending out another beam that got deflected off by Draken.

Draken quickly closed the gap before Matthew could prepare another attack, connecting his fist to Matthew's jaw, and a loud cracking sound echoed throughout the cafeteria.

The force behind the punch lifted Matthew off the floor, Draken also charged up to the air and above Matthew, slamming him down to the floor with a hammer-like blow.

BAM!

Mathew's body slammed on the concrete floor, causing the whole cafeteria to vibrate due to the force behind the hit.

'I'm not done with you yet!' Draken said internally, moving closer to Matthew who just laid there motionless. Draken had no clue how the Talent drain works, or what he needed to do to absorb someone else's talent. 

Maybe once he kills the person, the Talent gets transferred to him. That was Draken's thoughts as he moved closer to Matthew, but his way was blocked by an individual.

Shifting his gaze, all Draken could see was a good-looking man in his early twenties. Spiky snow white hair that shone brightly under the sun's rays, his straight jawline and handsome face could make any girl drool over him, his height nothing less than 6 '1, and he was dressed in an off black long sleeve attire and trousers.

Draken recognized him immediately. "Mr Kai." 

Draken greeted, bowing down his head. Kai was one of the academy's sensei, and also one of the strongest.

Kai Suzuki's clan helped greatly during the monster's invasion, and since then the family has been treated with respect because of their powers.

"Hmm.." Kai humed, glancing around the mess Draken made with his finger on his chin. "Did you do this?" Asked Kai with a look of disbelief.

"Uhm..yeah?" Draken stuttered.

"Hmm..This is hilarious." Kai chuckled slightly before begining to walk away with his two hands in his pockets. "Come with me."

Draken stood there wondering who he was talking to, until he turned around and gave him a stare. Draken quickly jogged forward and caught up with Kai before they both stepped out of the cafeteria.

'What just happened?' Danny who has been on the floor watching the whole fight had a look of disbelief on his face. He has been with Draken for a while now and knew every bit about him. The person that just defeated those guys didn't look like Draken in any way.

His strength, his speed, the look on his face, they all looked different from the Draken he knew. “I hope he hasn't joined the Harbingers of Chaos.” Danny wondered with a worried expression.

Those who are weak and only able to awaken a uselss Talent would usually swear an oath to an underworld creature that would grant them what is known as Chaos Energy. No one knew who or what the Harbingers of Chaos were, they only got initiated through the Monarchs of Chaos, and once the initiation was completed,they were granted the Chaos Energy.

The Chaos Energy is just like a Talent, but much more darker and dangerous. The energy also has different techniques and ranks, just like Talents. But whoever uses such ability always has a poisoned dark mind and is being manipulated by the King Of Chaos.

Since Draken has always been weak and vulnerable, Danny thought that Draken must have sworn the oath and now received the Chaos energy. But who could blame him if such a thing happened?

Draken has faced hell day in and day out. Everyday he goes to bed with different sets of injuries and no one did anything to stop them. 

Danny won't be surprised if Draken swore the oath, because he has suffered a whole lot in this life.

Walking through the academy's hallway was a tall handsome guy with his two hands in his trouser pocket, beside him was an average teenager who had a nervous expression on his face.

“This school is rotten. This world itself is rotten. Everyday I get bullied and no one does a thing about it, but when I choose to fight back, I get punished?” Draken pondered with his two fists clenched tightly. He has tried countless times to report the case of him being bullied to teachers,but no one paid attention because he was a sore loser. They would simply just ignore him.

Even when Matthew dealt with Danny and fractured his spinal cord, no one made any attempt to punish Matthew because his father was one of the big men in the country, while Danny was a nobody.

“Huh?” Draken intoned as the teacher seemed to have taken a different route that led to the rooftop instead of the Headmaster's office. A puzzled expression appeared on Draken's face as both of them began to climb the steps to the rooftop.

“Why are we headed here? Should I ask him?” Draken pondered, attempting to call on the teacher in front of him, but couldn't gather enough courage to do so.

After climbing for few minutes,they finally arrived on the rooftop. The rooftop was quite vast, with the floor littered with graffiti and waste nylons here and there. The cool wind made Kai's snow white hair and also Draken's hair flow.

Kai walked to the edge of the roof where he could actually see the whole academy and city from. 

"You had a second reawakening didn't you?" Kai questioned while sparing Draken a glance, but Draken already knew fully well what he meant. And if people find out, then he might be in serious trouble.
