Chapter 3: Ride Gone Wild

"I don't care how you do it, but I don't want the same problem being repeated, understand?"

The Man in Black was standing at the edge of the crater with his arms behind his back. He looked down nonchalantly at the Supervisor. His face suddenly morphed into that of anger.

"I ASKED YOU-"

BAM!

There was a sudden flash and Mr. Badass wasn't at the edge of the crater anymore. I looked on in daze as he appeared right above Supervisor and planted a sweeping kick on his shoulder.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

Only now did he finish his sentence. The Supervisor's knees buckled down and crashed on the ground with incredible force.

BOOOM!

Suddenly there was dust and rocks scattering around them. When the dust settled, I could see Zhang down on his knees. Poor dude has already formed two other mini craters in the already existing crater from the impact.

Ouch. That gotta hurt.

Sheeesh. Supervisor Zhang is awfully resilient though. He survived two attacks of such incredible force? And the guy who delivered these strong attacks… Their strength is really inhuman. Man, if only I had such strength. It would be soooo aweesommmeee!!

I looked on eagerly with my legs swinging off Hodor's shoulder. The Badass guy was back to being nonchalant now, with his hand behind his back again and cool as a cucumber face. It's like he didn't just deliver that horrifying attack in rage.

Ok.

Even if that's badass and all, the way he is acting is just too arrogant. I suddenly felt like rooting the underdog here. Go supervisor Zhang! Go show him what you made of! I cheered him on internally.

Supervisor Zhang bowed his head down and I saw him mumbling something. Probably admitting defeat while seeming reluctant. I was too far away to hear anything though. Badass dude looked at him for a while and snorted. He put his hand behind his back and walked out of the crater.

Oh. The drama is over? How can you surrender so easily Zhang? Weakling! I scoffed mentally.

But gotta say, that was the best damn thing I have ever seen. I mean, sure, I have witnessed magic during my time here. But compared such a brutal physical showdown? It's just.. Meh.

I have no clue why these guys are fighting in the first place. Who is the badass dude and what's his problem? I wanted to ask around but I don't really know anyone here. It's hard to make friends as a 9 year old amongst a group of old fatties.

Plus, I am sitting on the shoulders of a giant so I can't even ask around.

Ever tried gossiping while sitting on someone? Yeah, it's awkward.

Alright alright.

Even if I wasn't in my current comfy seat, I would still not make any noise. I don't want to attract the attention of the two monsters involved in the drama ahead.

Watching people fight is fun and all, but being dragged into one?

Hehe.. I value my life alright?

My adorable housemates are of the same mind apparently. Even though they formed such a crowd in a hurry to spectate, their complexion looked white like a sheet of paper and their bodies trembling like frightened mice.

Pathetic. Look at me, a kid, and I am not afraid!

Ok. Maybe my legs trembled a teeny tiny bit during the conflict. But it was due to excitement, understand? Excitement! Nothing else! Hmmm… I seemed to be trembling more and more after the fight was over.

Wait.

It's not me who is trembling.

It's my ride.

Oh shit. The big guy actually started pushing away the fatties in front of us and walked towards the scene of drama.

Oh no.

No no no no no no.

I heard a buzzing sound in my ears as panic suddenly filled every inch of my being.

HODOR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BIG DOOFUS!!

I mentally screamed inside.

This is not funny alright?

Ugh.

He is still walking towards them.

Gotta stop him. How do I stop him?

In my panic, I started frantically hitting his head or any other place that I could find. I was too afraid to say anything.

I finally felt what it's like to be watching a tiger outside the cage in a zoo and then being suddenly pushed in by some random asshole.

The giant dumbo finally halted.

Thank you almighty for knocking some sense into this dumb idiot!

Dude then looks up to me. Only now did I actually see his face. He was.. Crying.

Like.. seriously crying with tears running down his face. And yet, he was still maintaining that silly smile.

What the hell is wrong with this freak?

I was too stunned to react as the dude just picks me up and drops me on the ground. He even has the gall to pat my head before waddling along towards Supervisor Zhang.

I stood there in a daze for a moment.

Freak! I cursed under my breath as I ignored him and tried to make my way back to my room.

I didn't feel like enjoying the drama anymore.

But the moment I turned back….

Oh.

These darned fatties!

They are blocking the way again!

For the second time today, I felt tears well up in my eyes.

I wiped my eyes furiously as I ran towards the fatties. Even if I can't make my way back, I can still blend with the crowd. I didn't even bother coming up with theories about why Hodor was crying about.

Freaks are just freaks. Let him die if he wants to.

When I turned around to look at the drama again, the freak was crying and hugging Zhang as if he was a baby. Oh. He was still alive.

The badass guy was looking at the freak in extreme disgust.

Can't blame the guy though. Freak looked damned ugly when he cried.

As if he has lost his interest messing around with Supervisor Zhang, he added one last reminder.

"Solve the problem immediately. Even the young master has limits to his patience."

He snorted one last time.

And then...

Fricking white wings slowly sprouted out of his back.

Yes.

You heard me right.

Wings.

Out of his back.

Just your normal fantasy world shit.

Considering how Supervisor Zhang was a leopard man, an angel dude? Sure, Why not?

But the weirdest part was how his suit actually wiggled away like some parasite so that the wings could come out without any obstructions. It was like a less creepier version of the spiderman black suit parasite thingy.

Clothes that know how to get out of the way when you transform. Neat.

I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it now though. Can I go back to my room please?
