I am the Phoenix Lord

Chapter 6: A stupid saviour

"So tasty, this place got good ramen!" Koran exclaimed using his chopsticks to pull a large amount of ramen into his mouth. It felt so good especially since this was the first bowl he had in ages.

Cynthia watched in mesmerization at Koran while Jack faced his own business. Still there was a question bothering her, "why did you help that magus.... I mean Hart wasn't it?"

Koran stopped eating from his bowl grinning as the reply came to mind, "I told you yesterday didn't i, that's someone I can follow till the end of my days, Hart will make life interesting."

Was this all about intetest now? Cynthia gave it a bit if thought, the more she tried to conceive what Koran liked an wanted, the more she became confused. What the hell did he see on the peasant boy Hart? How was he interesting?

"I don't see your point?"

"Weak people sometimes can't see what the strong see Cynthia." Koran's reply made her gasp in shock. Was this what he thought if her as.....

Weak! Gullard planted the base of his knee into Hart's gut making him stumble back spitting out blood from his mouth.

Shit! He growled jumping back and out if the way a huge ball of fire tore through the air crashing close to him. So far, this was a one sided battle. The former Phoenix Warlock had worked against using his Abilities because of his lack of control and limited time use.

If he was to use it on this fools, something bad might just happen to all of them.

'Then how am I supposed to fight without using Magic?' Hart asked himself ducking as a large ice spear passed by his face grazing the side of his cheek.

After a short analytics of his enemy he realized how impossible it was to win, up against, heat, ice formation and pain multiplication. Each hit taken to his body was deadly enough and dodging wasn't an option.

'How do I fight stuff like this old sack?'

[You are not ready but the only option is to use the sights of infinity]

What the heck was that supposed to be? Hart didn't bother to further his questions nodding in reply. 'Give it to me old sack.'

[The way to use this technique is to concentrate#######]

SLAM!

A large fist crashed into Hart's side throwing him into the nearest wall and distorting his entire system. As his back met with the wall a wave of drool poured out of his mouth before he fell to his side to give multiple coughs.

"Arrrrgggh!" The agony made him shudder especially the region if his ribs where he recieved the impact.

"I thought I heard this trash was an SS Rank? All I see here I trash," Gullard and his boys made fun as they had always done peaking an anxiety in Hart's mind, how would people grow to be such dicks in life?

Even the girl he saved was just kneeling and looking at him with so much hope in her eyes but her face was still devoid of emotions.

"Maybe," Hart sat himself up slowly in a stance normally portrayed by bosses. "I am done with my warm up."

"Hahahahahah! Is he trying to be tough?" Zhan raised an eyes brow being the first to move closer his hand fuming a white cool energy. "Maybe your screams will remind you how much if a trash you are Hart."

"Fuck you!" Hart streched out his hand a red magic heat like fire ball forming in it. Without second thoughts he let the ball soar into Zhan's chest destroying all his cloths as he caught on fire and his skin turned black like ash. "ARRRRRRRRRCCCCCHHHHHHKKKKKK!!!" He screamed falling to his knees while pulling his hair strongly like he was about to run mad. Soon enough he dropped face flat to go limp.

Now everyone got the message agitated by Hart's action.

[Successful]

[You have extracted the abilities of two]

[The third is a high rank and cannot be extracted until defeated by You]

Hart grinned widely knowing that was enough, now his red eyes had found a monstrous glow that made the two remaining bullies to quiver in fear.

"What the fuck! I can't...." As they turned around to bolt, their shoes were instantly frozen to the ground by eyes reprimanding their movements.

"Keuuhyk!" Hako shrieked at the top of his voice to call the attention of any outside the alley but his scream was cut short as the ice on his foot expanded like trees growing, just more rapidly having spear like ends. Twelve of this spear like ice shards grew into Hako's body tearing through his guts and through his throat killing him in an instant as his intestines and blood began to fall to the grounds one after the other.

"Fuck! Hell no Hart!" Gullard raised his hand high lowering it and smashing the ice into shards. This gave him a large enough opportunity to break free and bolt for the closest exit however he didn't make it that far as his legs froze up in the ground again. Not just his shoes this time but up to his waist just as a safety precaution.

"Damn!" Gullard panicked face sweating profusely with his throat already dry and crying for help. He locked his gaze on the monstrous looking Hart already behind him. "Please don't kill me, I will serve you, anything.... I beg you..... I don't want to die....."

"Die? When you planted a magic pill into my pocket for me to die, you didn't know right?" Hart snarled placing his palm around Gullard's neck.

"No, I wasn't the one that planted a pill.... Heuukkaahh!" Not giving him enough time to reply, Hart's clutch on his neck increased uncomfortably with a mighty wave of heat. "Please I promise to...."

"Shhh! I am almost shocked that no one showed up to help even though we screamed so loud, now I know why," he leaned in closer to whisper in Gullard's ears, "everything that happens in the alley stays in it."

Gulp!

"I once though killing humans was impossible, but now it feels so normal and alright."

Already interpreting where this was going Gullard struggled to break free before screaming, "my father will come for you if I die! You won't escape...."

"Shut up!"

SPLAASSSHH!

All at once Gullard's head popped like popcorn spreading his blood and brain remains everywhere before his corpse collapsed to drench the floor totally after Hart released the ice.

[Extracted the final skill]

"Is this justice I have served with the deaths of those bastards?" Hart asked himself staring bewilderingly at his hands.

[Justice is ending the circle of evil at once noy prolonging it, I believe in that]

"So this is what it means to enforce justice, and this would be my destiny for the rest of my days," a grin emerged on his face. "This is thrilling."

***********

The break was finally over and all students were back. Seemingly the influential and royal didn't follow this trend as all reputable recruits with a high ranked ability recieved a letter invitation.

Hart would have been jealous of the others especially the guy they called Koran having a box or two filled with invitation letters. But what angered Hart the most was how Koran Zuki stared at him every now and then.

'This follow up weirdo, is he jealous.... If he is I will happily give it away.' Hart wrinkled his face glaring down at the numbers of invitations around him. Ranging to twelve boxes he wasn't interested in. 'I kinda now see why that fool said I shouldn't accept.'

A box worth it enemies would not be a great plan for Hart Margata.

Headmaster Felindrick finally stepped up to his normal podium to speak once more, "some students have gone missing but the ceremony must go on."

Hart tucked his look to seem totally innocent, what were the chances he wasn't the one being directed to? Pretty slim.

"This next phase of selection is to accept one letter for support and if you refuse you shall be the only one in your group...." Pausing the Headmaster landed his sight on Hart Margata glaring at him as if reading his exact thought. "In the next few minutes you shall meet your sponsors and in two hours time shall band up in a guild to clear out a dangerous dungeon."

"Your value as a mage will be determined by that."

Hart became a bit tensed, compared to the beast's that chased him down the mountain, monsters in dungeons were much meaner and powerful as they came in grades and sometimes level.

After a short while of pondering his lips arched in a smile, this would be awesome.

[Yes, the more magic beast you kill the stronger your magic becomes it's common knowledge]

Especially without a group this would be favourable. Here my story of being the greatest Magus shall final begin.

****

Little time had passed since the sponsorship program, Hart had also refused to get one and hid throughout that time but now the moment of choosing a dungeon was here he swiftly appeared.

Maybe too late?

"What the heck, where did all the quest go?" He screamed at the quest board having only three quest left on it. He arrived so late that all the good quests were already taken and now was forced to feed on left over.

"What kind of quest is killing the fishes in a pond, why can't the bastard kill them himself?" He pulled out the paper from the board squeezing it and throwing to the ground in disdain.

The other quest were not any better having low grade dungeons against goblins and whatsoever.

Running this kind of mission would surely dull his rank, how would people see an SS Rank genius killing minor goblins.

"Man I am so screwed."

"Hey Hart Margata."

Hart noticed the approach of a male in nice dark clothing with a girl in an alluring cloth behind him. If he wasn't mistakened that was Koran and someone else.

"What do you want, shu! I am working!" Not wanting to get involved in a conversation he tried to chase the off but Koran wouldn't give up.

Koran smiled draping his hands on Hart and speaking, "I refused all my sponsors to be with you!"

This somewhat lightened Hart's heart, how could he refuse all his chances to be with a loser, this was a supposed joke.

"If you don't want to die Koran Zuki, I suggest you quit the horseplay and let me tear your throat apart," Hart Margata piled up his seriousness to spook Koran for fault but saw none.

So he wasn't lying. That is pretty insane.

Cynthia in the background reddened completely enthralled by how cool Koran was, she felt like letting him grope her breast and ride her, all fantasies she would like to make true but why the hell was Koran only Interested in the trash kid.

Did he only have feelings for guys? Is he gay? No she shook those feelings away having her leg's shudder in thought of how big it.....

"So cool you got an A rank Quest Koran!" Now Hart's full mind was placed in Koran who had saved an A rank Quest for them to run together.

"It wasn't easy but how would you like for us to do this all together."

Cynthia felt left behind pressing foward to speak next, "I will also be there."

This lightened Hart's heart, a cute cheek, a powerful surbodinate were smiling at him as if they were equals..... It was rare for an orphan kid in the Magus world.

A decent Magus? No, a powerful Magus! This is the feeling of actually being seen as an actual human.

"Let's go."
