Chapter 35: 1st day (3)
Vincent and the girls left the classroom. The next lesson they will visit would be a fire one. Vincent already knew almost all he needed to know, so he did not have some expectations from it. Maybe some spell creation tests would be nice. After all, they don't plan to visit this school too often. So comparing his progress in creating spells with others will be quite useful.
"Oh, I forgot that I need to visit a disciplinary committee after the deacons' speech. It should not take much time. Wait for me in the cafeteria, okay?" suddenly said Vincent as they walked through the corridor.
"Of course, but don't be late either. I don't like being bothered by these people." said a smiling Anna.
"Yes, brother, don't let us wait. I already want to go home. I don't like being here were too many people are looking at me." Annie also added with irritation.
"I will try, but it does not depend solely on me. Will be back soon," said Vincent and went towards another corridor while girls continued straight towards the cafeteria.
'But… where the hell is that place? Need to ask someone.' thoughts Vincent and massage his temples with one hand slightly.
When he left the corridor, Vincent was a little crowd of teenagers nearby.
'Mmm, bullying...classic.' thought to himself Vincent after he heard what was going on here. He leaned slightly to the wall behind the crowd and began to look with a smile.
Two sisters were around 13 years old. They were surrounded by 5 boys of 15 years of age or so.
The two sisters are quite beautiful. They both have long black and were about 1.5m tall. There is no wonder why they had so much attention from the male side.
"You need to pay for that, you know? That thing is very valuable to me and you broke it. How are you gonna pay for it, mm?" said Lucas, the leader of this little gang. He was also one of those arrogant heirs of wealthy families. He was tall and a very handsome boy with blond hair.
"That thing is worth only a few bronze coins, and asking about a gold coin for that broken pen? My sister, Emily, already apologized for it. I will pay 1 silver coin tomorrow. It's more than enough for it. Leave my sister alone." said an angry Emma. Her sister just accidentally broke a pen that was on the floor near her desk, and this Lucas who's a pen 'accidentally' fell near Emily's desk, wanted 1 gold coin for it. They were of an ordinary family, so gold coins were quite not easy to get for them. Even if they can, why should they do as he wanted, just because he says so?
"I-i'm very sorry! I will pay for that pen with 1 silver coin, tomorrow!" said Emily with a bit of a shaking voice. She was a gentle girl that didn't like fights at all. Emily accidentally broke Lucas's pen on the floor when she hurried to the bathroom. She didn't think it would bring such a mess. Lucas's family has some influence in the Bern town while theirs are just ordinary. If he wants, their parents can lose their jobs the next day.
"If I said it costs 1 gold coin then it costs 1 gold coin, no less. Aren't your parents working in the candy shop? It's quite hard to find a good job these days… It would be very sad if they suddenly lost it. Don't you think so? If you can't pay with gold… you can do it by other means, right?" Lucas swept his eyes on Emily's figure and smiled lustfully.
After Emily heard his word, she paled. If their parents lost their job because of her mistake...
"Noo… I will pay, will pay. Just give me time!" said Emily loudly as she looked at Lucas in fear.
Emma on the other side was so angry that her veins basically popped out on her forehead as she squeezed her fists tightly, almost to the point of bleeding.
"But… I don't have time, you know. Come find me after school. We will go to a 'quiet' place to discuss it more tightly. Don't forget, it's hard to have a good job these days. I will be waiting." said Lucas as he looked at Emily's big chest and ass while slightly licking lips.
'Rubbish scum… Do I really need to do 'that' with him!? If I do 'that', then there would be a 2nd, 3rd time and so on, I will simply become his sex-toy! My life will be over if I do that, but if I don't, then my parents will lose their job. W-what should I do? I simply can't resist! No one will help us here.' Emma's hate peaked as she looked at Lucas. She already wanted to rip his head off. When she was about to say something, she heard a noise from afar.
*Clap!* *Clap!*
'Why don't I go and help them out while learning some 'karma' points from doing something well? Maybe, it will improve my poor luck a bit? I also hate these animals. Especially after his words… they trigger something in me that makes it hard to calm it down if I ignore it. Decided then.' thought Vincent as he moved toward girls.
"What a good clown show we have here. Sadly, I don't have gold to pay, can you lend me some? No? Oh, it's quite sad. In that case, I will take it myself." said Vincent after he moved through the crowd towards those 5 boys with an 'innocent' smile.
All the people around turned to Vincent in shock.
'A 9 years old kid wants to go against 5 older boys, and especially against Lucas? Is he mad or what?' thought people around.
'Who is he? Why is he helping us?' thought Emma and Emily as they looked at him weirdly.
"Kid, words have their price, you know? Your ignorance will cost you a lot today. Wait.. are you like one of those two and that's why you are playing a hero, right? Wow... it's quite a rare thing these days. Looks like your parents didn't educate you properly since you didn't know how the world here works. Let me help them with it for free." said one of Lucas's followers as moved towards Vincent.
"You don't wanna lend me some gold, right?" said 'pitifully' Vincent as he neared the boy at a distance of 2 meters.
The boy moved his hand to grab Vincent's head
"Kid, did you hit your head when you were little.." He didn't manage to finish his sentence as his right hand was grabbed tightly.
As Vincent grabbed his right hand by the wrist, he swiftly twisted it, breaking his wrist bones.
"Aaaa!" The boy pissed himself from sudden pain as he screamed.
"You still don't have some gold to lend me?" sweetly said Vincent with a smile.
"Crazy misbirth! You will not leave this place in one piece!" loudly said the boy as he dropped on the knees while his wrist was still tightly held by Vincent.
"What a dirty mouth. Tsk, tsk, tsk. You might not know, but I have a hobby that makes people happy. And that hobby's name is - cleaning." said Vincent gently as he bent his legs a bit and sent a straight fist towards the boy's face.
*Smash!*
Teeth and blood fell on the stone floor as Vincent broke his nose and most of his anterior teeth.
*Aaah! Dxygbbk uhjygo!! (Fucking psycho!!)." streamed the boy while people around were quite enjoying this scene.
Vincent released the boy's wrist, brightly smiled and sent an even stronger right fist towards his face.
*Smash!!*
The boy's last teeth broke. His left eyes were almost destroyed as he fainted on the floor. Without treatment from an expensive healer, he would be half-blinded for the rest of his life.
Vincent slowly stood up and raised his leg.
"Stop!" said Lucas loudly, but he didn't move.
But his words were non-existent for Vincent.
With the heel of the foot, Vincent hit the fainted boy's right elbow*Crack!*, destroying its bones, making his body twitch slightly on the floor.
With a bright 'innocent' smile, Vincent takes his leg back to send another kick towards the boy's right knee. *Crack!* Then left knee *Crack!*, left elbow *Crack!*, and finally to his… crotch! *Smash!!*, making him a completely impotent, empty, wasted man.
To treat such injuries, his family will need to pay a hell of a lot of money. It will make their hearts bleed.
"Yes, you're welcome, but my service is not free." said Vincent 'proudly' as if he has done a very 'good deed'. He bent down and looted the bloody boy's body clean.
"Oh, I found 40 silver coins. It's still not enough though. But… you have your loyal friends, they definitely lend you some, right? Why are you not answering? Too tired? Fall asleep? Oh, it's fine, I will ask them for you. Don't thanks." said Vincent as he very lightly slapped his messy face a few times before standing up.
It was even more crowded than before. Some people also became curious and came closer to look.
*Gulp*
Terror filled their hearts as they saw what this little kid had done and more importantly how he has done it.
"Wait, I know him. He is a newcomer, named Vincent Mayers. The brother and son of two girls with the perfect affinity that enrolled today." said one girl who saw him at the school entrance.
'Ignorance is bliss sometimes, but also a curse. He touched someone he should not.' thought some kids in the crowd.
Emily and Emma also looked at him with wide eyes. Especially Emma. She looked at his swift actions that contained no hesitation, no remorse, no fear. 'If I also could fight like that, my sister would be protected by me and not by a random stranger.' Thought Emma as she saw Vincent moving closer to Lucas.
Lucas didn't show fear on his face, but there was already some terror planted in his heart as he looked at the brightly smiling kid walking towards him.
"Will you lend me some gold? I don't need much. Just a few, so I can pay you for your clown show and my 'treatment' of your lovely friend. So? Do you have some spare gold?" Vincent neared Lucas with a 'pitiful' smile that made his eyes twitch each time he saw it.
'Psycho!' thought one of the boys' gang.
'Something is wrong with this kid's head!' thought another boy.
Lucas thought for a moment and said.
"Surround him. You go and look if there is no school staff nearby. Inform me immediately if someone comes." ordered Lucas to his gang and to someone in the crowd before turning towards Vincent.
"You will not leave this place, kid. Attack him from different sides and on the different spots," said Lucas to his gang who already moved to surround him.
They also felt fear towards him, but they have 4 people while the opponent is only one younger kid, so their confidence overcomes their fear.
"So? Where is my gold?" said Vincent as he blinked 'innocently'. He paid no serious attention to them at all. They were too predictable.
Vincent didn't wait for them and ran ahead towards Lucas as he monitored the area around him.
As he was about 2 meters away from Lucas, he was his right hand was covered with an earth element that looked like a gauntlet.
'Finally something. But I also know a few tricks.' thought Vincent as his right hand lit up in fire while his eyes swiftly released a blinding white light, forcing Lucas to close his eyes for a short moment.
'I don't have much time to waste here on you, so…' the moment his opponent in front of him closed his eyes, Vincent sends a strong, fire strike towards Lucas' defenceless left eye.
Lucas lifted his armoured hand by instinct to try to protect his head, but was a bit too late, just what Vincent wanted.
*Smash!!*
Vincent's right fire punch landed straight on Lucas's left eye, smashing it into pulp while fire spread on his face, burning the left side of his face as well as his hair. Lucas' body smashed into the wall behind and fell on the floor, leaving a bloody mark on it from his head.
Lucas lost consciousness from the sudden hit. His hair fully burned, making him bald. His skin became red and was still slightly burning as he lay on the floor. His left eyes were already gone just like the one in the previous boy. His right eye was also damaged, but slightly.
Vincent swiftly moved to Lucas's side and lifted him a bit before making him kneel while holding his scalp with his right hand.
When people around saw what he just did, their hearts shook even more.
The gang boys already stopped the moment Lucas was hit. Some even made a few steps backwards.
"Where's my money, hmm? Hurry up, I need my money," said Vincent as he began to check Lucas's body for loot.
"You three, do you have some? Give it to me." Vincent again put on his 'innocent' smile, scaring others even more.
"F-fine, fine. Take it, just don't touch me." said one of those 3 boys fearfully and threw a little pouch filled with silver to him.
Vincent checked and smiled inwardly, before turning his gaze towards the other two.
"Will you pay?" Vincent said 'pitifully'.
Those two also took out whatever money they had and threw their pouches to him. If they didn't, healing would be much more expensive.
"What a good boys. What a good, little, obedient boys." said and nodded Vincent as he put his 'loot' inside his stained in blood white robe.
Vincent raised his white head and slowly swept the crowd with his red eyes without moving head, smiling.
Suddenly, he kneeled and...
*Hit!*
*Hit!*
*Hit!*
*Hit!*
*Hit!*
...
After around ten swift moves of his hand, he stood up, closed his eyes, take a deep breath and turned towards two sisters.
"Two young ladies, do you know where the disciplinary committee is? Can you please lead me there? Thank you." said Vincent calmly and walked to them.
"...." silence descended on the nearby area. All people around looked at him as their bodies trembled and fear filled their hearts.
"Y-y-yes, o-of c-course!!" said Emily with a trembling voice. Emma's body also shook from the terror she has just seen.
"Then please, lead the way. "
