The Max Level Hero: Strike Black

Two

Jack opened the door to enter the classroom, but no one seemed to notice his presence at all.

'Um, looks like these bastards are decorating your desk again...'

But wouldn't it be better for Jack to go unnoticed like this? They've been completely benign lately, but before, it wasn't just Lee who could torture him.

Jack just hoped they'd really changed, he wanted to have as little trouble as possible. Approaching his seat, Jack realized that the tabletop was covered with a pile of trash paper.

'Um, so what are you going to do?'

At the same time, Lee's abominable laugh resounded.

"Huh!? Is that your desk? Trash? Sorry! We thought it was a trash can? No wonder it kept pouring out! Heh heh heh heh heh!! !"

'Um, even I can't stand this bastard's abominable laugh... Do something about it? Are you the one controlling this body?'

As if it had been planned, the rest of the students laughed like crazy.

"Useless like it, it will only end up with living water in the landfill in the future, you're doing it right? Ha ha ha!"

"That's right, that's perfect! Hahahaha!!!"

"Horror pit!!!"

"..."

Ignoring the taunts, Jack just quietly brought the trash can in the corner of the room to his seat and cleared the pile of trash on the table. Revealing beneath the trash were curses and insults carved all over the table.

He doesn't really care, because this kind of bullying is still kind of boring anyway...

After cleaning up, Jack put the trash can back in its place and settled into his seat. He was still sitting in a hot seat when suddenly, a soprano and full of energy came from the hallway.

"Good morning everybody!"

'Um, there's going to be trouble again...'

The owner of that voice rushed from the hallway into the room. Her petite body and cute face, her chestnut hair fluttered with every step she took. Jack was also well acquainted with this person, his classmate, Leila Janet.

"Hey! Slow down Janet! Fall now!"

From outside the classroom, an arm suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Janet's shirt and held her.

'Is it Lucas? Are these two always together?' – Jack thought as he saw the next person enter the classroom.

It was Daphne Lucas, a girl with the charm of mature beauty, in stark contrast to Janet. Sharp eyes, black hair tied in a ponytail, and a well-proportioned body.

"Don't hold my shirt like that, Daphne..." Janet said.

However, instead of replying, Daphne narrowed her eyes and gave Janet a light pat on the head.

"Oi!"

Then, like a teacher, she began to scold Janet…

"How many times have I told you, Janet? How can your daughter run like that!? Besides, it's dangerous! What if she tripped and fell?"

"I'm sorry that..."

"I'm tired of hearing you apologize but I don't see any improvement..." Daphne said while sighing in frustration.

'Um... I'm really not in the mood to watch these ridiculous things…'

Entering the classroom right after Janet and Daphne was a boy with a very good appearance. He smiled slightly when he heard their conversation and joined in.

"You two are really close like sisters, aren't you?"

“You're joking, Simon! Stop! Stop! Stop! Please excuse me, if I had a sister as annoying as this dwarf, I would have a headache twenty-four out of seven." Daphne pointed at Janet and shook her head.

“I see Jacob is right again, don't I? If I had a younger sister like Daphne, you'd know!" Janet said with a bright smile.

“Hahaha!!! As short as you are, you still want to be my sister? Just keep on dreaming!"

Seeing Daphne holding her stomach and teasing her, Janet puffed her cheeks in anger.

“Hey, hey, I was born two months before you! So logically, I'm older than you, aren't I?"

"I'm a bit jealous of how close you two are."

This male student, Simon Jacob is the class president of Jack's class. That's why Jack remembers his name. From what Jack knows, Jacob is sociable and quite popular for his looks, the exact opposite of him.

Actually, it's not too difficult for Jack to recognize Jacob's popularity. Because as soon as Jacob entered, almost all the girls in the class held their breath and turned their attention to him. It was so obvious that Jack couldn't even realize it, so he must be blind.

However, the focus of everyone's attention immediately changed when a gorgeous beauty entered the classroom. Long, flowing black hair, big round jade green eyes, rosy, plump lips. Not to mention the beautiful curves on her body that make it difficult for anyone to believe that she is still a student.

However, the most outstanding feature of this girl is her face. Her face rarely shows any expression and her flawless white skin can make those around her mistakenly believe that she is a flawless artifact created by the hands of a talented sculptor. . Even Jacob couldn't take his eyes off her.

As soon as they saw her, both Daphne and Janet said hello.

“Ah! Claire! Good morning!"

"Good morning Claire."

All they got in return, however, was a slight nod and a simple "Hi". Even so, the two of them didn't seem disgruntled at all.

'Claire Reed…'

That girl's name immediately popped into Jack's mind. He remembered her name very well, partly because of her impressive appearance. The rest was because he and she both transferred to this school on the same day.

However, unlike a Jack Christopher who couldn't make friends and was bullied… Claire Reed was quickly pursued and adored by everyone, including Simon Jacob because of her captivating beauty. Indeed, appearance has a great influence on the way people treat each other.

Leila Janet, Daphne Lucas, Claire Reed and Simon Jacob, the four most popular in school, both for their looks and talent. In this class, for personal reasons, Jack only remembers the full names of those four… and Tony Lee. The rest are because Jack entered school too late, when the groups of friends were all formed, there was no room for him to squeeze in…

After talking to Claire, Janet turned around. When she made eye contact with Jack, a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

'Um... Please don't look this way.'

Janet galloped towards him excitedly step by step.

'Um, I'm not joking! ...Please don't come near.'

"Good morning, Christopher!"

'Um...'

"Ah-um, hi..."

"Why do you look so lifeless so early in the morning? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah... No, I'm fine, I'm just... No, no, I'm fine."

"Hmm? Hey... Christopher, can you raise your head a little, your chin seems to be bruised, isn't it?"

"Eh... This bruise? Wasn't it... in the morning... I... ah, I tripped and fell." - Jack immediately tried to cover up.

"Hey! So are you okay, are you hurt anywhere else?"

"No, everything is fine..."

"That's good. Well, my relative got a bottle of medicated oil recently! Here, let me apply it to you."

Then Janet rummaged through and took from her bag a bottle of amber liquid.

"Okay, okay, I can apply it myself, thank you."

"Honestly, shouldn't you be more careful when walking?"

"Um, Janet, do you know that you're the one who shouldn't advise that the most?" Daphne shook her head in exasperation...

"T-Thank you, I'll pay attention..."

Feeling the hateful glances directed at him, Jack involuntarily broke into a sweat. The fact that Janet is too intimate with Jack only attracts unnecessary attention from people around.

It was true that when Janet was just starting to get close, Jack was scolded by some guys that he should know his own identity...

Even though they weren't directly bullying Jack anymore, the jealous looks made him really uncomfortable.

Maybe it would be better if Jack spoke up about the trouble Janet brought him... But, he couldn't. Because in this class, she must have been the only person who was close to Jack as a friend. He didn't want to make her cold towards him.

'Um! I'll bet one to ten that this innocent, innocent little girl is just saying "I love you so much!", and then, seeing how pathetic you are, she jumped on it! I'm so nauseous! Haha... Hmm? The hell...'

Jack was still in the middle of talking to Janet when suddenly Jack had an extremely unsettling feeling, as if something very bad was going to happen.

'RUN!!! Get out of here now!!!'

Jack jumped to his feet, hurriedly grabbed Janet's hand and led her along, even though she was still confused as to what was happening.

"W-What's wrong! Christopher!?"

'Are you still worrying about how much money you have!? Want to run away! Hurry up!!!'

"What do you think you're doing, brat..."

And as if to confirm Jack's concerns, a ring of light and strange characters suddenly appeared on the floor, the way its light flickered faster and faster reminded him of a fruit. Bombs are counting down

"What is this!?"

"Oi!!!"

"Christopher!!!" Janet yelled in panic.

'It's mother... Not in time...'

As soon as Jack touched the doorknob... suddenly everything around became completely white before his eyes. Jack can no longer hear or feel anything...

'Um, yes, it's all your fault! Bastard!'

'Am I dead?' was Jack's last thought before his consciousness blurred...

'Well, not dead yet... But where you and I are going, nothing can be certain.'

----0o0---

“Eh… eh? Open?"

Jack woke up, holding his head in his hands and panting.

'…This place?'

"W-Where is this?"
