Chapitre 30: Chapter 29 : Brink of Insanity
" Are they finally ganging up on him? " Onlookers seem to have realized Jian's request for me to follow him.
They even ensured that Rena and the others were out of class before doing so.
" What if I don't want to? "
" Then we- "
" Then you're going to have to force me. Let's get going then. " I say to Jian's friend who was clearly stopping him and me from fighting right at that instant.
Though, it was obvious this would come as once you beat them in a legal fight, they'd just be a lot angrier and challenge you to something that isn't illegal and fair at the same time.
" I'm scared for them... Isn't he incredibly famous right now? Would the school allow it if they just... And they say he's strong or something, even beating those second-year twins, " People who were on Reign's side looked at us not sure what to think, unlike yesterday when they were all smiles as Jian challenges me in the arena.
" You idiot, that's why they have to do it now. If he gains even stronger backing due to his achievements and fame, we won't be able to teach that fucker a lesson. Besides, there are five people coming with him. That fight with the twins was basically a one vs one with the brother having an absolute deadweight which is his brother. " They reassured themselves but you could still see a hint of worry in their eyes.
" Prepare your absence excuses by the way, as I'll make sure you at least take an entire week off of class. " I say, trying to tease them even more. This was a quick way to deal with this as if this taunt works, the teachers will naturally come into action.
And it seems like It was quite effective.
Jian who was leading the team suddenly stopped in his tracks.
" You fucking... " Jian who was already holding his fist every time my name gets mentioned bursts into anger as he tried to charge me with his ability in use.
Though he didn't make it far, his friends held him tightly, preventing him from attacking me at that instant.
" Jian! Our plans will come to ruin if you charge right at this instant! "
" You fucker! I'll rip you to shreds! " He shouts trying to hit me with all his might.
" You weak bastard. " I smile at him as he struggles to shake his friends off.
" YOUUUU " He shouts in rage like he was ready to murder someone that instant.
" Oi Jian, are you crazy? " A voice escapes Jian's back causing him to turn instantly.
" R...Reign? "
There stood Reign resting his hands on Jian's back.
Although Reign was considered a small fry, someone who was beaten even while having dragon blood in him, he was a monarch among the students of 1B, a place where talent is lacking but money is flowing.
In a world where medicine and artifacts make you stronger, money is your best friend. And a young master of a strong guild like Reign was bound to excel among others.
" I thought you weren't going to make it... " One of Jian's companions bowed at the sudden appearance of Reign, showing their group's hierarchy despite being seen as friends from the outside.
" How am I supposed to miss such an important event? And I'm sure you're not going to take away that event right? " He looks at Jian showing his excellence in showing off his authority.
Jian couldn't help but start to eat his words as despite being stronger than Jian, he was inferior in terms of everything else.
" You know what will happen if you ruin his plans right? "
!
What...
He whispered those exact words to Jian here, but I was able to hear some of it and understand what he was saying.
So a hidden factor is manipulating all these things that wouldn't happen otherwise...
I have no clue about anyone here except Reign and Rena, so guessing was the best I could do without much evidence as of this moment.
" I... I'm sorry " Jian deactivated his ability, as his arms fall down in defeat.
Jian had been stopped thrice without managing to vent, causing the young master to struggle against his ego and an absolute rage toward a certain person...
" Alright, now that we're done with that. We could finally head on to our destination! I'm sure Mon here would know that place really well. " He smiles in quite an unsettling tone, as he leads the way forcing the group to continue on our way.
...
That's why I felt uncomfortable...
We were currently standing in an alley hidden in the eyes of the many students strolling around the campus. But the thing that makes it so uncomfortable, is the fact that the exact well I deceived Reign on, can be clearly seen in the isolated alleyway showing that he was aware of what I did a few days ago...
Reign who was standing the opposite of us stood with his arms behind his back, looking at me with an evil smile, behind him was the well, and beside him were five people all strong enough to be in 1B, with his achievement being the only reason why he's in the class in the first place.
" Heh " Reign scoffs as he took a final look at the scene before facing his back to us raising his hands, signaling the others to do something.
" It's finally FUCKING time. " Not surprisingly, Jian was the first to step up, cracking his fist while rocks and other related materials surrounds his arms.
He looked absolutely mad as if I took his wife and kids from him. He looked like he lost something special, and he was going to use whatever means possible to take it back.
" You fucking bastard huh! "
" HOW DARE A BEGGAR LIKE YOU ACT SO FUCKING MIGHTY?! "
" YOU ARE BELLOW ME YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT! "
As if ten years of bottled-up rage escaped him, he suddenly burst into anger as his fist started to grow even bigger.
"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FAKE! YOU FUCKING DRUG ADDICT! HOW DARE YOU USE DRUGS TO BEAT ME HUH?! "
Did I possibly push him too far?
As if Jian could read my mind, he seems like he knew I was thinking he was insane as he suddenly rushes at me while shouting.
Well regardless if I did, It was my plan anyways.
Though Jian seemed to have understood that my ability supported by my high-level charm was the only thing impressive about my fighting skills, he seemed to have missed a simple piece of information.
I mean it's not like he would've known I had a system no matter how hard he tries anyways...
" Let me prove it to you then. "

As if Jian realized what had just happened, although he was maddened already by his rage, the sudden increase in his strength caused Jian to flinch.
" You... broke through? " His friends who were watching the whole ordeal looked at me nervously as if they were looking at someone they shouldn't have messed with in the first place.
Well, they shouldn't have, as I'm now one of the strongest in this group...
" This... he's E rank? Are you fucking sure he was a Wanderer?! " Reign who was also watching over us, look at me in confusion too.
Well, I didn't particularly measure my rank when I entered Sense, as I was pretty late with the enrollment. I also didn't manage to show my personal strength that much as relying on my abilities was far easier and more efficient, but the standard of my stats is definitely worth the top of the sections.
But in the past, I still wasn't capable of defeating Jian in a proper fight with his rank only falling short of E+, having me resort to my abilities, but now is a different topic.
Jian seemed to have realized that as he rushed straight towards me, trying to end it as quickly as possible hoping to monopolize on the extra time that I haven't adjusted yet to my strength.
I mean, I was always complimented for my ability to learn fast in the real world, but yet again it's not like he knows that.
" Stay put " I grabbed Jian's face who was rushing towards me, causing him to stop In his tracks.
" It seems like I haven't disciplined you well enough. " I whispered next to him, as I shoved his face on the concrete floor.
