"Good morning, Rin." Erix greeted me with a smile. "Did you sleep well?" Rin just woke up so his eyes were still half-closed. And because of that, he had an impression that the person who talked wasn't a human. "Why is there a demon in front of my bed?" "Pffff, haha, where did that come from?" Erix chuckled awkwardly. "I'm not a demon, just Erix, your roommate." Hearing what Erix said, Rin immediately stood up from his bed. "Wait, what did I say?" His ears became red. He was ashamed of what he said. "That I was a demon?" Erix repeated what Rin said. "I know what I said, you don't have to remind me." "Oh, my bad. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to anger you," Erix returned to his shy self and just looked down. He wanted to make a good impression but failed. Alas, that's what he thought. "No wait, I didn't mean it like that," Rin quickly said since Erix seemed to have taken what he said the wrong way. "What I meant is that you don't have to remind me or tease me about what I said. It
While walking in the hallway, Erix came across the boys that taunted him yesterday in the canteen. He knew the boys would never pass without attempting to bully him so he readied himself for any possible outcome. There was no way he would be able to take them down at the same time so he will just run away if they tries anything funny with him. He didn't stop walking, but he was ready to flee if anything went wrong. However, something shocking happened a few seconds later. Immediately the boys laid their eyes on him, they took a U-turn and walked away. "What the?" Erix couldn't believe his eyes. The look on their faces reflected fear and turmoil. Erix would have doubted something like that had happened if he hadn't seen it with his eyes. 'I didn't see properly, right?' He tried to convince himself that it hadn't happened, but what happened had already happened, and saw it with his eyes. 'But why?' He thought. 'Wait, seems I get it now. My roommates must have scared the shi
This all happened in an instant, which left Bones no time to react. It was the last thing he had ever expected to happen. As soon as Erix saw Bones' unconscious body, he couldn't help but laugh like a madman. Though he wasn't sure, he had an impression that this event was the happiest event of his life. However, he felt even happier when he thought of how cruel he would get to punish him before eventually killing him as per the system's quest. Now that Bones was unconscious he needed to hurry and get the job done before he woke but the question was, how and where to begin. From his guess, the boy would be out for about an hour or even more, so he needed to hurry up before that time. The system said he should kill Bones most brutally ever, meaning that the boy needed to be awake to experience the torture himself. The punishment wouldn't be termed as torture if he was unconscious, so he needed to have the boy awake, but the question was, how? He has no binding rope or anything li
Once classes ended, Shota and Rin took their time. Erix wouldn't suddenly disappear after just a few minutes, after all, right? And even if he did, he would surely contact them first. Shota appeared to have loosened up a bit and gone softer on Rin. He decided to try to be friends with Rin since he had done nothing but be nice to them. Also, he seemed to genuinely care for Erix, which went extremely well with Shota. During lunch today, they settled their differences and eventually became friends. But even after that, he still didn't have a silver lining of trust in him. Well, not only him but everyone else, even himself. They decided to go slowly to Erix's classroom. Though what they heard in the hallway wasn't that reassuring. People were talking about a low-level that managed to scare the shit out of four high-level students, so it wasn't hard to know what happened. But since there was no physical description of the low level, the boys just thought it wasn't Erix. There w
Seeing the once hovering balls now speeding toward him, his survival instinct kicked in. He knew he needed to survive and that would only be possible if he made a move. The sharp earth balls began closing in on him at a fast pace and the very last second before they could hit him, Erix ducked back and avoided the balls. Since the balls were numerous, he didn't let his guard down after bypassing the first phase instead, he regained his composure and continued dodging.The balls were fast but not so fast that Erix couldn't keep up with them. Thanks to his improved agility though, he was able to keep up with the speed of the balls even though he got hit from time to time. Unfortunately for Erix, the earth balls changed attack mode and began closing in on him in all directions. "Let's see if you can avoid my babies now." The big guy muttered with a sinister smile. Not only that, but he also began to juggle his earth balls in such a way that they magnetically hit Erix's back after he
Meanwhile, Rin quickly ran towards the big guy. Though he wouldn't kill him, that doesn't mean he wouldn't teach him a lesson. For Rin, people like him deserved to die. Even though he didn't know the feeling of being bullied, he imagined how painful and depressing it was. Bullying was something Rin would never want to experience in life. Even though his parents were only peasants that ran into Norxus clan to find refuge, he had a peaceful and comfortable life and got whatever he wanted. After all, he is the wisest lad in his clan. And surpasses most was the elites in his clan in matters concerning the brain. He invented many things that were quite useful to his clan. In his clan, he was known as a versatile elite. Well, despite all of his fame, none of it was heard outside the clan. This was how the clan worked. After becoming Norxus clan occupant, you indirectly pushed all your fame and achievements under the clan leader. The leader gets to decide whatever happens in your
The moment Shota heard that he understood what Rin was talking about. The retrieval team was probably on their way to retrieve the dead body of the student there. But that wasn't the case right now. It was the fact that Rin felt nothing upon contact with Erix's body. His body felt jolts of electricity when he touched Erix's body earlier, so how come Rin didn't have a similar reaction? However, curious to know if he'll feel the electricity again, he slowly patted Erix's body. Strangely enough, he felt nothing. The electricity he felt was gone and nothing could be felt again. 'What the fuck? But I felt something earlier!' Shota screamed in his head. His quietness was beginning to become weird for Rin, so he asked. "Hey, Shota, are you alright? Is something wrong? You haven't said or done anything, after all, I just told you." Rin said, a little puzzled. Shota was acting really weird. Shota didn't reply to Rin's words instantly. He held Erix's body for like a minute more befo
Now it was 10:45, and the boys had finally safely made it to the dorm. They tried hard to get in unnoticed. Erix's clothes were drenched in blood, so it would give them away if people saw them carrying him with blood-soggy clothes. After they got back to their dorm room, Rin suggested they take Erix to the clinic, but Shota quickly declined, telling him it wasn't needed since Erix had completely healed up. Rin was a bit taken aback when he heard that. He couldn't believe Shota's words, so decided to confirm for himself. Tearing open Erix's clothing, he was met with the clear skin under it. His skin looked restored and free of bruises. "B-But how come?" Rin stuttered in disbelief. He found it unbelievable. Erix's clothing was previously drenched in blood, meaning he must have lost a tremendous amount of it from injuries, but now, there weren't even any wounds to show for that. Erix was supposed to have bruises after so much blood left his body, but that wasn't the case. Looking a
