Chapter 2: Conflict
By the time I arrived at the house entrance, my adorable housemates had already formed a crowd and were blocking my view. I didn't even bother trying to stand on my tiptoes to see if I can get a better view. With my height, no chance that will work.
I gritted my teeth and tried to squeeze my way out. Since everyone here is a lazy bum, I tried my best but couldn't get through them.
Also, these people stink! One would think when someone has all the time in the world, they atleast take care of their personal hygiene. Ugh. Whatever happened outside, I don't think it's worth making my way through the great stinky wall of flesh.
I cursed at my bad luck under my breath. Dammit! Why did I have to transmigrate into a 9 year old kid's body? I felt like I am a midget in a world of giants. I let out a deep sigh to let out my frustrations. It's not like being a kid doesn't have it's advantages.
It's just...
It's just too damaging to my pride as an adult.
I didn't recognize anyone ahead of me so I tried my luck with a random guy.
"Excuse me", I pulled on the pants of some random dude. An annoyed face looked down at me. Ok. I am regretting my choice already. But I forged on ahead anyways.
"Can you lift me up so I can see?", I raised my arms like a child and tried to give my best I-am-so-cute-and-innocent smile. Ugh.
I. Hate. This.
The dude just pushed my hand away, shook his head, and went back to gawking at what's happening outside.
I don't know why but I felt tears welling up in my eyes at that. WTF? Why am I even crying? I am not an actual kid. But dammit! This sucks!
I hate being here! Three months of loneliness, confusion and fear all gathered together and burst out at this stupid incident. I can't even check out the single moment of something new happening in my life.
Screw this man! I am going back to bed. I wiped my eyes and turned around to leave when I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I looked around to see a giant guy looking at me with a silly smile.
And when I said giant, I mean GIANT! He was at least 7 and half feet tall. He looked kinda dumb to be honest. He reminded me of a certain character in a popular TV series called Hodor. Without saying anything, Hodor just lifted me up suddenly.
Woah.
I felt myself tense up and panic for a moment before I realised that he was making me sit on his shoulder. He must have noticed what happened before. I felt my swelling in gratitude at this simple act of kindness. I whispered my thanks before I finally got to see what was the cause of the commotion.
"Stand down!!", someone yelled out loud.
Heyyy. Look at that! Even after all the time it took me to get my 'seat', the commotion has not ended apparently. And it seemed like a fight was going on! I excitedly looked at the person who just yelled that feeling a sudden craving for popcorn.
It was a person of Asian ethnicity who was standing in a fighting pose. The first thing that came to my mind looking at him was- Badass. He seemed to ooze a badass aura wearing a black suit and standing in an imposing manner.
Why is almost everyone here of asian ethnicity though? I randomly wonder. Also, this world had suits and ties? Weird. I was under the impression that the scientific progress of this was very backwards. Did people wear suits in medieval ages?
I shook my head and turned to look at the person the Man-In-Black was shouting at. And- I squinted my eyes. Waaait a minute. Holy shit!
Is that a crater?
Yup.
Definitely a crater. And it seemed it was formed by something landing on the ground with an incredible force. Well, Something… or someone.
There was a guy at the center of the crater with very messy apparel, like he just climbed out of the said crater. I guess now we know the source of the mysterious crashing noise. Though calling him a guy might be a bit of a stretch. He looked like some sort of beast man. Like a weird combination of a leopard and a man. He had yellow fur with spots instead of skin and he was baring his nasty looking fan at the badass dude.
"Stand down Zhang Xun! This is my last warning!", The badass guy was looking impatient. He must have balls of steel, yelling at a beastman like that. I felt scared just looking at him.
Wait. Suddenly, I felt a lightbulb flash in my head. Zhang Xun? Zhang… Supervisor Zhang? It felt ridiculous but looking at the leopard guy, I noticed some resemblance. I gawked with my jaws wide open as the leopard guy turned into the familiar annoying face of Supervisor Zhang.
Whaaaaaaaaa-
THIS WORLD HAD WEREBEASTS? AND OUR SUPERVISOR IS ONE OF THEM?
Why am I just finding that out now??? Shit! I know being in a world with a fantasy setting, I shouldn't be shocked at finding this out. But, come on! That was a guy I have been seeing for so damn long. And he turned out to be a werebeast? If werebeast exists, what else?
So.. even if I can't do magic, there should be a chance of being part of something else that's supernatural right? But I felt my excitement die down thinking of the situation I am in now. It's just a fancy prison I am living in. Fancy prison with hundreds of prison mates that have no chance of escaping at all.
All I can do though, is find little joys in my life and die peacefully of old age. No magic or superpowers for me…
I remove my negative thoughts and focus back on the live drama going on out there.
Mr. Badass was calmly walking towards Supervisor Zhang by the time I recovered from my internal monologue. Supervisor Zhang was already back to being human and was staring back with a defiant and… wronged look? Oh boy. The drama hasn't ended yet.
I gleefully watched as someone who is usually high above me is put into such a miserable situation. Hehe.. enjoying others misery sure is fun.
