While at school.
"You're okay, right, Xavier?"
Of Xavier's many friends, only Ophelia called his name in a very friendly manner.
"Yes. I'm fine."
"Zamir has been discharged from the hospital. But he's still taking his permission not to go to school."
Xavier just nodded his head, responding to Ophelia's story. Because he also knew how Zamir was doing right now. Even that night, Xavier didn't know how to beat them up, namely his friend Kylian.
Currently, they are waiting for the lesson to start. Maverick was also among them. But he silently listened to their conversation because he didn't know how it happened that night.
But the seat that Kylian usually occupied was still empty. He had yet to enter the classroom together with his other friends.
Zamir and Eren, there was no way they were going to class. They are still on sick leave because they were both absent from school.
But Kylian's gang mates aren't just the two of them. There's Julian, Hugo. And there are also girls, namely Wrenlee and Evelyn.
Although his two other friends are girls, they behave the same way as Kylian and his friends. They were both jerks and troublemakers. They like to disturb other people's peace. And also bully the weak.
Unfortunately, they are the children of rich people and high-ranking officials. So they are also untouched by school rules, which are strict and strict.
That is the general state of affairs, no matter where you are. Power and money can make people more valued and respected. So rules and laws don't matter to them anymore.
As it turned out, Kylian and Julian were at the bottom of the stairs. They were planning something to get back at Xavier for disobeying them. Hugo and Evelyn are also among the two of them.
Wrenlee was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she didn't go to school today. Because she said, she had a photo shoot and press conference for her father's big company.
"Later, invite the other classes too. Let that jerk, Xavier, be discouraged!"
Julian nodded in agreement with Kylian's proposal. He also felt furious when he heard Kylian's story about Zamir and Eren.
"I thought that Xavier had magic."
"You mean?" asked Julian, confused by Kylian's words.
Evelyn and Hugo also looked at Kylian in confusion. The three of them could not believe what they had just heard.
"You guys think I'm bragging, huh? No, I don't! It's really beyond reason."
In a low yet stressful voice. Kylian recounted the events of that night. And he also mentioned his suspicion of Xavier having magic because Kylian did not see any cuts or bruises on Xavier's face or body that morning.
"And you know, Zamir and Eren are lying there with multiple wounds! And Xavier is still lying there without any movement. If this isn't magic, then what do you think it is?" Kylian asked indignantly. He wanted to disbelieve his vision. But everything was real.
"I'm so curious about what you're telling me," Evelyn said sparklingly. She liked stories that were beyond reason. She is ambitious to be in a fairy tales world like the stories of strong princesses or knights.
That's why Evelyn loves joining gangs that are strong and feared by others. She feels like a soldier in her group. Not necessarily the gang he joined was a model gang. But more often than not, the gang causes trouble.
While the four were seriously planning, someone overheard them saying they wanted to get even with Xavier after school.
"I have to tell Xavier. It's a pity for him if he has to be beaten by Kylian and his friends later."
The person said to himself. He didn't want Xavier to experience anything bad because of what Kylian and his gang did.
***
During school breaks.
"Xavier! Xavier!"
Xavier turned his head towards the back, where a friend was calling his name.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"You go straight home after school! Don't go anywhere."
Xavier's brow furrowed in surprise at his friend's words.
"You mean?" asked Xavier, confused. He felt strange with his friend's words. Because everyone also knew he would go straight home. Suppose it was time to go home.
Not like his friends who have a lot of money. Because they sometimes go somewhere first. To hang out or walk around looking for food or drinks.
His friend looked up, then walked over to where Xavier was sitting. He didn't want their conversation to be overheard by others. Because in this school, any wall could talk to complain to someone considered strong.
"I was listening to what Kylian was saying," his friend whispered in Xavier's ear.
Hearing his friend's words, Xavier squinted. Thinking about what his friend wanted to say.
Finally, his friend whispered again in Xavier's ear. Saying what he had heard earlier while crossing the stairs. And saw Kylian's whereabouts along with the others as well.
Now, Xavier nodded in understanding. He knew Kylian would never let himself calm down, especially with what happened last night.
With a deep breath, Xavier nodded in agreement with his friend's words. Because he also didn't like commotion and violence. So he thought avoiding their gang rather than following their will was better.
Ophelia and Maverick, and some of her other friends entered the classroom. Then Ophelia thrust a canned drink at Xavier.
"This is for you. Drink it!"
Shortly after, Kylian also entered the classroom. He looked with dislike at Xavier. Moreover, he also saw how Ophelia treated Xavier. Which he thought was too much.
"Yuck! Sycophant."
Kylian swore with a crooked smile as he passed Xavier's seat.
Ophelia, who had been listening to Kylian's words and swearing, glared in displeasure. She looked sharply at Kylian, who was currently sitting at his desk.
But Xavier didn't budge. He remained silent and only drank the drink Ophelia had given him.
"Look, everyone! The beautiful princess is seducing the ignorant hobo. Hahahaha."
Kylian started saying things that made no sense with his harsh words. He began to bully with words that hurt the ears of anyone who heard them.
But Kylian didn't care. He just wanted to make Xavier angry. That's why the longer the words Kylian said, the more incoherent and unworthy of anyone's attention. And this is also what made Xavier finally fight them.
At school time, Kylian had run straight out of the classroom. He didn't wait for his other friends. Who was tidying up some school equipment?"Hey, wait!"Evelyn shouted for Kylian to wait for her for a while. But Evelyn's request should have been addressed by Kylian."Ahhh, shit!"There was a swear word in Evelyn's mouth."Why am I the bait?"Evelyn's words need to be understood by others. Because they also don't know what these words mean.In the classroom, it was just Xavier and Ophelia, who Maverick was also looking after.Evelyn came closer to the three of them. She pretended to ask Ophelia and Maverick to help her carry some of the things she had."C-can you help me carry this to my car?""Eh, Maverick, help me carry it too!"Ophelia, who knew Evelyn, did not suspect this was one of the plans of Kylian and his gang. Likewise with Maverick. Because Xavier did not tell anyone about what he had heard from one of his friends. Suppose Kylian and his gang will plan something on him."
What his friend had experienced left Kylian shocked. He never thought that what Xavier did would be fatal for his friend because it is certain that his friend's right leg suffered a serious injury.Either the leg was broken, or the shin was fractured. Because his friend immediately fell, screaming in pain and holding his leg. The one Xavier had kicked earlier.This made Kylian and his friends furious. They lunged at Xavier simultaneously.[Defence system activated]1%5%10%25%50%100% [Ring]As it turned out, Xavier jumped high, so they all got kicked and punched by their friends.Smack!!! Smack!!!Smack!!!Smack!!!"Aagrkhhh!""Ouch!""Ouch!"They were all in pain, the result of a misdirected attack. Meanwhile, Xavier jumped up and ran away from them all. He continued to run, leaving Kylian and his friends behind."Ehhh. Hey! What's going on?"Evelyn, who had been stunned, and thought that Xavier would be defeated by sustaining several wounds from their attack, was shocked. She n
Arriving at the hospital, Kylian's gang immediately received medical treatment. Because their injuries were also quite serious, some even fractured the shin bones in their legs."Crazy! This is unbelievable."Evelyn thought with confusion and couldn't believe what she had just seen. She never thought that Xavier, who had always seemed weak and unable to fight them, could easily do all this. And that too alone. Without any friends to help him."Is it true that Xavier has magic, just like Kylian said before?" Evelyn's mind asked about the situation she had seen with her own eyes, not through stories and news from other people."But where is magic in this modern world? It's just an illusion. Someone may be helping Xavier. But as shadows. Just like ninjas."Evelyn continued to monologue to herself. Because everything she saw earlier did not make sense to her."I'm sorry. What happened? An accident or a fight? There should be a news statement from the police too!"Evelyn was wide-eyed, hea
While Xavier plans to bring his parents to live with him in the city, some of Kylian's friends begin to sympathise with Xavier. The enemy of their gang leader, Kylian, Zamir and Eren, is now starting to like their enemy. In the sense of the word, that is, like the nature and character of Xavier. Things that Ophelia has liked since she first met Xavier. "Xavier is not arrogant, Ophelia. Even though he can fight back." Zamir talks to Ophelia when Ophelia comes to visit him at the hospital after school. "Oh, you just realised that Xavier is nice. Not like your friend and Boss," said Ophelia, who didn't know if Xavier had that power. "Did you hear about Kylian's last incident?" asked Ophelia again, as Zamir was silent and did not answer her. "What?" asked Zamir curiously. Since he was admitted to this hospital that night, he no longer knew any news about Kylian and his other friends. He only knew that Eren was in this hospital too. He was being treated just like him due to the injuri
Everything is as it should be. And what had to happen happened. No one can make Xavier stop or skip because the destiny of God Almighty also determines all things. *** Two months later. "Ophelia. Let's have dinner tonight!" Ophelia looked back to where someone was talking to her. It turns out it was Kylian. He had recovered and was back to his usual activities at school. Nothing had changed in his behaviour and habits over the years. But what stood out the most was that he was no longer bullying and bullying Xavier just like he used to back in the day. It wasn't that Kylian had changed. Or that he no longer dared to face Xavier. But this was one of the plans he had devised together with his friends. Especially now, Xavier's life was no longer the same as before. He had bought a house in a large housing complex in this Zlodon City. His parents have also been invited to live with him in the house, with several domestic helpers he employed to take care of the work. Xavier's life
Maverick and Zamir had arrived at Xavier's house when everyone else who was coming had not yet arrived. So, they were the first guests to arrive. Because Eren arrived shortly after, the two of them sat down. "Where's Ophelia?" asked Zamir, who had yet to see his cousin. "Not here yet," Xavier replied shortly. "Wow, that sucks. She was the most excited to come to this house," Zamir talked about Ophelia, who was looking forward to meeting Xavier's mum and dad. Ophelia wanted to know how those parents had raised Xavier to be the way he was today. Smart and strong, but humble and not arrogant. Moreover, in the beginning, Xavier seemed very poor. So he becomes the butt of his friends' bullying, which is Kylian's gang. "It turns out that Xavier is a rich man. He can buy a big house in an elite area too." "That means he's been covering up his identity all this time. Maybe he wanted to test whether there were people who would be friends with him who looked like that." That's what Opheli
Xavier did not want to be rash in deciding something related to Ophelia this time because he knew that Kylian also had relationships with several gangs who controlled several places as their territory. Some of their activities are not known by others, namely, the transaction of some drugs and the use of illegal firearms. Because they are still underage, it is not allowed for a firearm ownership permit. There are strict rules that a person, from a civilian, must pass for the licence to get the right to own a firearm. And immature children, at school age, are certain that they are prohibited from owning their firearms. And if caught, you can be sure to be subject to the law by the applicable rules. Xavier also knew from some information he received from some informants, who happened to come by themselves. The information system he had, attracted someone to join together with him without knowing how and where they came from. When Xavier tried to contact Kylian again from the mobile ph
While outside the building, Xavier and his friend were organising their plans and strategies; from the direction of the road, a procession of cars entered. It was carrying a lot of big, burly men. They looked like normal adults. They are no longer schoolchildren, just like Xavier or Kylian. Seeing that, Xavier immediately gave the code to his other friends to hide. And not do anything which could make them suspicious because this could be dangerous for their safety. Maverick, Zamir, Eren and Zen nodded obediently to the code given by Xavier. They immediately hid their bodies to avoid being noticed by the people who had just arrived. Moreover, they were also carrying some weapons. Most likely, they were going to make a transaction. Or the person who just came was indeed asked by Kylian to assist him in killing Xavier? Even though there was Ophelia, whom Kylian's flock had taken hostage. But Kylian still asks for help from other gangs to protect himself. "Is the system active under
