Chapter 7

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.
