Bab 6: Child Abuse is Illegal

The null eyes was one of the few special eyes in the series, the feats that you could perform with it were inhuman even when you had just awakened it.

Zane looked at Jason clearly, he was shocked at first when the dark-skin boy was behaving like he was in pain but now he started to piece it together.

"You awakened the n-null eyes." He stammered as he was shocked by the accomplishment.

It wasn't something many people in the clan had, it wasn't like everyone in the clan walked around with deep blue eyes like it was common to get it.

"I guess I did." Jason affirmed.

[The Null eyes have the following functions:

-It allows the user to open a rift in space-time trapping the opponent regardless of their strength in it. The amount of time the opponent can be trapped varies on the strength of the user.

-The Null eyes give the user the ability to temporarily stop the flow of mana in a person's body. The amount of time depends on the person.

-It requires a lot of mana from the environment to keep active.

-If there is not enough mana in the environment to keep active the eyes will retract to their passive forms.]

'Thank you system for being the when I need you.' Jason thought as he stared at the information.

"I guess I just awakened the same eyes as you." Jason said with a grin on his face as he looked at Zane.

[Error! Error! Due to the fact that host cannot absorb mana the skill Null eyes now uses nature energy to keep active.]

"I gotta say Zane, you really put me on the edge and if not for the fact that your lightning magic didn't do much damage against me I would be in the hospital right now." Jason smiled.

Zane just stood there, not a word coming out of his mouth.

'Damn, did I do it again. I really should start taking communication classes.' Jason sighed as Zane did not respond.

"Would the clan allow you enter a hospital?" Zane asked.

"Now that you mention it, they wouldn't."

…

"Let's continue. The more you use the eyes the more accustomed you get to it." Zane said.

"Does this kid actually care about me. Or does he want a punching bag?" Jason wondered.

"Hey I can hear you." Zane retorted.

"Alright, sorry."

"Let's continue with our fight, except this time we won't use weapons." He declared.

"You think this time I can't attack carelessly, well I hate to break it to you mister, but I'm unpredictable." Jason said as he got into his stance.

He crouched a bit, raising his right and left hand, but his right hand was raised higher than his left, then he dragged his left leg backwards until he could no longer do it.

"Don't get too cocky, you can't even wield a sword." Zane replied as he got into his own stance.

A boxer stance.

"Begin." This time he announced when he was about to start.

The both of them lunged at each other, Jason's stance giving him a boost.

Zane threw his fists but Jason caught it.

Jason performed a sweep but Zane jumped, dodging.

Zane moved back a bit before throwing himself at Jason, he was surprised by this unexpected attack and blocked.

Zane smirked as his elbow made contact with Jason's palm, spinning around he threw a punch.

It caught Jason off-guard as he couldn't react in time, Zane's fist made contact with his gut.

"Gaah." Jason groaned, not expecting that punch to pack that much power.

Zane performed a side leg, trying to make Jason kneel.

But when his leg made contact with the behind of Jason's knee not only did meet what could only be called steel, but Jason took that chance to retaliate.

Jason struck Zane with a palm in the gut.

Zane let out an incomprehensible noise as he had been hit, saliva pouring from his mouth.

"I'm just getting started." Jason uttered.

Zane held his stomach, dropping his upper body as if he was bowing.

He moved his body at an unnatural angle, aiming to hit Zane into the sky with another palm.

Zane hurriedly tried to position himself to block the blow, however Jason's blow still connected. It was blocked by Zane's fist but the strength put behind that palm sent him flying upwards.

"Nuh-uh, I can't let you go away. Our fight isn't over yet." With those words he held Zane's hand.

Zane couldn't go upwards again thanks to the object holding him down, Jason once again struck him the gut.

Now, Zane's gut was not only paining him but he felt like he would have problem eating for a few days.

Palm after palm after palm after palm.

Jason continued, he wouldn't stop until Zane admitted defeat...

Jason looked at Zane, a rich young master of one of the greatest clans in the world being hit in the gut again and again just because he challenged him to a fight.

'Child abuse is illegal.' Jason thought before letting Zane go.

What Jason did not expect was that Zane couldn't stand without support, his legs were wobbly as he struggled to stand before ultimately falling onto his butt.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked, concern evident in his voice.

"AM I OKAY? ARE YOU CRAZY! Is that the kind of person you ask when you hit an 11 year old kid in the gut for over 30 times! Is that the kind of question you ask after sending someone into the sky but holding them down while hitting them in the gut?!" Zane questioned.

He was basically shouting at the absurdity of it all.

"No, but it was the best question I could think of. Don't you have some recovery potions that you could use to heal yourself?"

Zane was ready to start shouting again but he thought about what Jason said.

He pulled out a pill from his pocket, before swallowing it.

In a matter of minutes all the wounds he seemingly had disappeared and he was able to stand up again.

"One day, I'll challenge you again and I'll beat you." Zane declared, he didn't seem ready for another session of fighting.

"How about next week?" Jason asked.

"Next week. Okay... But if you come again I don't want to see you suddenly appear."

"About that... The guards outside don't really know that I am here. So next time, can you tell them to leave so I can come?"

"Nonsense? If you were able to sneak past them once you should be able to do it again, I can't waste oxygen to tell them to go and find something to do with their lives at your whim." Zane said, his upbringing showing in his voice.

"You spoiled rich brat." Jason growled.

"And you innocent poor man." Zane retorted.

'Dealing with kids is a hassle.'

"Lemme tell you a story, but you have to agree to not make comments in it." Jason said, eager to make Zane shut up for a bit.

"If the story is not good expect zero star reviews." He said but he kept quiet.

…

"Such a boring story, the main character doesn't even do anything except like this girl. Then he goes to meet her but it turns out she doesn't reciprocate the feelings and then he loses himself and becomes depressed, but then a pretty girl came to told him how she feels about him and he feels like he's the center of the world, leading such a boring life? Pathetic!" Zane complained.

'This punk? To think I just narrated my teen life and he calls it boring!' Jason complained in his heart at Zane's antics.

"Don't worry, it won't happen to you because your such a handsome young man and the heir of the family."

"Right. I could get any girl I wanted with zero effort." Zane praised himself.

"Are you sure you don't watch your mom and dad do "the sacred art of adults" in the night?" Jason questioned, the boy knew too many things about what was meant to be impossible to little kids.

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, there was a time when I entered mom and dad's room. They were doing something, they were both naked and dad was sucking mom's breasts like he was a baby." Zane explained.

'The patriarch of the clan doesn't know how to lock the door.'

"Alright, I'm going." Jason said as he got up.

"Can you tell the guards to go on a break for a while. I'm not able to sneak in and out." Jason explained, he had 0 points after paying his debt.

"I will."

That evening Jason went home with a smile on his face.
