My Survival System In An Apocalyptic World

A Chaotic World

Oh My God! 

('O')

Gray had a new level of fear and respect for Spade who had given him so many points with a single throw.

The others might not know, but before throwing him into the garbage bin, Gray definitely felt his bones snap, his legs twist and his body crippled. 

He was sure Spade wanted him to never use his arms or limbs again.

It might seem like he was protecting Gray, but that bastard was also recharging a lesson for standing against Adler Gannon. 

Thanks to the evil villain, he was not only able to gain enough points to become an awakener but was also able to increase his strength, agility, physique, and even his Punching Bag armor body.

Listening to their conversation, he understood that Spade didn't care if he was crippled. 

Provided he didn't die, it was all good since it didn't cause any major backlashes for the Gannon household.

Just because they won't do it openly, doesn't mean he was safe in private. 

"I better continue pretending as though I'm limping or he might get suspicious." Gray thought, thinking of Spade's reputation. 

Before today, he didn't even know there was such a powerful person in the stronghold.

How would he know when he spent most of his time trying to level up and become an awakened being?

If he wasn't doing that, you can also find him occupied with being beaten up.

Yesterday's matters allowed Gray to understand just how fragile he was in this stronghold controlled by the mighty. 

It wasn't just enough to become strong. What he needed was to become super strong in a way that allowed many forces to step out and protect him.

At least not until the exam day, he must continue a time weak and biding his time. 

The way Clandel and the others sounded made Spade look like a God. Truthfully, he too was starting to see the man as such too. 

No one knows how he felt in that moment of despair. 

For someone to make a move on him at lightning speed without any of them noticing a thing was enough to sound all alarm bells.

Reaching his apartment, Gray no longer pretended, rushing as fast as he could to get ready. 

.

"You bastard! What's with all the ruckus upstairs? Some of us are trying to sleep!"

The neighbors downstairs almost tore Gray's ceiling apart. 

The floors and walls were light, so thin that he could sometimes hear them performing adult aerobics in their bedrooms.

The couple both worked mostly afternoon to evening shifts. 

Everytime he leaves for school he tries moving as carefully as he can. 

However, today, sorry. He was in a rush. 

Sure enough, the money he opened his door to leave, he monetarily ducked, knowing the woman below was a firecracker despite her calm nature husband. 

Swish! 

A frying pan swung in the air, as he ducked and locked his door in under a few breaths. 

As they say, practice makes perfect. 

"Morning, Miss Petunia." 

"Good morning my ass, gray! You just stand still so I can smack you to death."

Seeing the fuming woman swinging her women fiercely, Gary suddenly had a thought. 

"System. If she hits me, will I get any points for that?" 

[Yes host. But very negligible, since you're already an Awakener.]

"Then forget it," Gray concluded, shaking his head wryly at the opportunity he missed yesterday knowing he had such wonderful tenants in his building. 

Of course, he still allowed some of her attacks to hit him. This was for the watchful eyes of others.

On his way to school, Gray corrected himself severally, not wanting to show any inkling of strength to outsiders. 

He had to admit that it was really hard to control his body just yet. 

A warmth kept rushing into his body, making his muscles swollen and defined. 

Shaking his fists, he could feel the monstrous power of an awakener swimming inside him. 

Provided he doesn't release his aura and special skills, it would be hard to differentiate him or any other awakener from ordinary people.

Oh, happy day! No one could take the smile off his lips.

Lalalalalalala~

Gray whistled and hummed, wishing he could hop and skip to school just like a little schoolgirl if not for his need to keep pretending. 

But soon, his smile froze, as though cracked.

"Crap! It's Teacher Jin Kang." 

Gray wished there was a hole for him to bury himself in.

Who was Teacher Jin kang? A burly hard-core man with his overly muscular arms always exposed in his no-sleeve tank top.

From afar, one could see millions of veins protruding from his neck, arms, and the rest of his body. 

Teacher Kang often wore military pants and heavy high boots that had additional weights built into them. 

It's said that each side of his boot weighs 80 Stones! That's 500 KG on each foot.

The beardless Teacher Kang often carried a comb in his pocket to comb his unique hairdo. 

His jet-black hair was all combed up, with the top layer shaved as a smooth lawn. 

Of course, no matter what society one lives in, not everyone could be entirely bad.

Teacher Kang was one of the few good ones, who secretly tried his best to root for ordinary folks behind the backs of the wealthy.

They also understood that this was the best he could do, as he too was bound to serve and obey any unanimous decisions made by the school if he and his family didn't want to be in a tight position. 

Despite all this, teacher Kang still made Gray feel like crying by his sheer manliness, hot temper and ridiculous punishments. 

Do you think everyone can be a macho man like you? 

Augh~

Because he was very kind to them in secret, he was also very harsh on them should they disobey official school rules.
