The mutant system

Soul points

A teenage boy with spiky brown hair could be seen running through the school hallway.

"Hey watch it d*ckhead"

"Out of the way loser".

Ajax kept bumping into people on his way and they keep raining curses on him.

But Ajax wasn't bothered about it at all, he had lots on his mind right now.

Ajax dashed inside his dorm room and sat on his bed breathing heavily.

The dorm room was a small square-shaped room that only has enough space to fit two beds and a little closet.

But Ajax's roommate isn't around most time.

He hardly stays in the dorm, reason because he doesn't want to be seen hanging around the so-called 'loser' of the school.

But Ajax wasn't bothered about his actions at all, he likes to be left alone most times.

[Daily Task status: 1/2]

[Run 10km: completed]

[Reward: 5 exp]

[Exp 5/100]

Ajax didn't even bother to go through the notifications he had just received for completing his task by just simply running around the school

He quickly brought out his small cube-like shaped object and checked the messages he missed.

The Cube also serves as a mobile phone. It's what everyone uses in this current world.

( Hey Ajax where's the delivery?)

( You know how angry I get when you arrive late?!)

( seems you didn't learn your lesson from last time )

(I'll make sure I kill you when I find you ).

Ajax's palm began to sweat as he read all the texts Draco sent him during his three days' sleep.

Ajax had a mission he needed to fulfill.

He was to go over to the Arc Two of the Mutant Academy to go get the jelly weed package for Draco.

Due to the number of teenagers around the world that wishes to train in the way of mutant, the government then further divided the Academy into three Arcs.

Ajax was in Arc one and the other Arcs is just a 30-minute ride to the other.

'What am I going to do? Draco is probably out looking for me' Ajax thought, he was currently sweating like a criminal who's about to go on a trial for a murder case.

'If I delay any longer the case would get worse than it already is. I'll just have to go face him and try to explain to him what happened. He'll believe me right?' Ajax convinced himself as he zoom outside his dorm room again.

_______

Currently, in the abandoned room where the metallic doll was located, Raya was still there trying to figure out just what happened.

'If truly he completed the level, then the powers must have been transferred to him' Raya thought with a curious look. 'I have to find him and ask him

_____

Ajax ran to the rooftop where their usual meeting takes place, but no one was there.

'Where could he be?' Ajax ran down and kept searching around where he thought he might find them but no luck.

Until he went to the football pitch.

It seems like a training section was going on right now, the sides of the pitch were crowded with students as they kept cheering one guy's name.

Draco! Draco! Draco!

Ajax squeezed his way through the crowd until he was finally in front and could see the guy he's been searching for.

Draco stopped what he was doing and turned his head to face Ajax.

Ajax gulped as both of their eyes locked.

'Is he going to punish me here in front of all these people?' Ajax thought as he found himself being drawn towards Draco slowly.

It felt like an invisible hand was pulling him towards Draco.

But everyone knew Draco was only using his Grade 3 Telekinesis ability to pull Ajax.

"Well well, look who finally decided to join us," Draco said with a smile that was not from his heart.

"What does Draco want with That dude?" A female student asked

"Don't know. Check it out. , it's the guy with no Skill slot" Another female replied pointing at Ajax's waist.

"I guess he's in deep sh*t".

Ajax felt a warm liquid wet his pants as Draco spoke.

Last time he only arrived late and he got the beating of his life, what then is going to happen to him now that he's been three days late?

"I-i-i"

Pow!

While Ajax was stuttering, a punch landed on his face which made him spit out blood from his mouth.

Ajax fell on his knees as he held his swollen red cheek in pain.

The remaining students who were watching the football training didn't even step in to save Ajax or even call a teacher.

They all stood there laughing and gossiping.

"Pick him up boys, I'm not done with him" Draco signals two of his huge friends and they both went behind Ajax pulling him up by his hair and holding both of his hands so he won't be able to move.

'Draco won't show any mercy, he's going to kill me right here and now. I have to defend myself by all means' Ajax thought as he saw Draco's fist being swung out again and heading towards his face.

[Time Freeze Activated]

[ -10 Soul point]

Ajax quickly activated Time Freeze, all he needed to do was to call out the name of the skill and include 'Activate'.

Activating the skill, everywhere around him froze.

Draco's arm stopped inches from his face and the whole students spectating the fight just stood there like statues.

Ajax of course found it creepy, but he knew he only had 2 seconds of use.

So he quickly sets his two arms free from the huge guys as they were both frozen.

When his arms were free, he wasted no time in sending out a punch of his toward Daraco's face.

Pow!

The punch connected neatly as Draco was pushed backward centimeters away from Ajax.

[Time freeze deactivated]

The whole crowd was amazed by Ajax's sudden speed and reflex. One second he was being held down by Draco's minions, and in a blink of an eye Ajax was free and then swung out a punch.

"Did you see that speed?" One of the students said

"Of course yes, and he doesn't even have a skill Slot" Another student replied with a look of surprise.

Draco was now fully recovered from the shock and punch, he began to walk forward towards Ajax.

"First you didn't carry out the task I gave you, second you didn't report back to me, and now you just hit me in the face. You're dead meat Ajax Hart" Draco said with a look of hate and pure anger.

He pulled his arm backward and swung out his fist again.

Pah!

The punch was stopped midway by a guy who stepped in front of Ajax.

The guy had messy snow-white hair and a muscular body. If this was a high school movie then this guy would be that hot guy that every girl in school is in love with.

His name was Enzo Sage.

Enzo was still grabbing unto Draco's fist as he began to clench it hard

Crack!

A loud cracking sound was heard and what followed after it was a scream of agony.

"Aargh!" Draco screamed as he felt his bones being broken.

"I think we are finished here wouldn't you agree?" Enzo said in his cool British accent.

Draco wasted time running away after Enzo released his fist.

"Are you okay mate?" Enzo asked Ajax with a look of concern.

Ajax just nodded as he began to run off back to his dorm because he doesn't want the people around him to see him and Enzo talking together.

The girls will just realize how ugly or not good-looking Ajax was if he were to be beside Enzo. At least that's what he thought.

While Ajax was heading back to his dorm, a window screen appeared in his line of sight.
