บท 6: Weirdos
As I was about to enter the classroom, 4 students approached me. They're my classmates.
They all looks like a villain in every corner of their body.
They're a group of 3 boys and a girl. Like how common bullies form their groups.
But they were extras in the novel. As I don't recognize any of them.
"Oh! Isn't this our gunner?"
The young man in the front of me said with scoff on his face.
The other 3 were sneering in the back like idiots.
"Hey, what's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"
The young man in the front asked me seeing that I didn't reply.
'Am I getting bullied?'
"Hey are you deaf or mute?"
"Maybe he's both."
"HAHAHAHA"
They all started talking among themselves and laugh. I'm their topic though.
Looking at their stats, all of them are <F+> rank the same as me.
'But why are they bullying me?'
I thought of a reason but there's no reason for them to target me.
"You're <F-> rank right?"
The one in front said, looks like he's the leader.
"You're also rank 2619, the lowest in our classroom, you're an embarrassment in our class so just drop out."
He added... That's so unreasonable.
'Ah, so they're that kind of people.'
As soon as they said that, the question in my head got answered.
They're the type that bully someone weaker to feel superior.
They decided that I'm an easy target because of my rank and weapon of choice. Including that I don't have a strong backing.
"Or maybe you should just die."
As the one in front said that, the others laughed.
'Should I fight back?'
They're annoying and I hate annoying things.
If I don't fight back, I'll be considered as a pushover and my academy life will be hell.
'But if I fight back, they might use their authorities and money to push me in the edge.'
In this academy, you're either talented or wealthy.
These guys doesn't look talented at all, so they're here because of their family.
Worst case, my family will be targeted as well.
I don't want others to suffer because of me.
As I was thinking. The one in front of me spitted at my shoe.
"Trash, you can't even talk in front of me?"
He said.
I looked at the spit in my shoe.
<Calm Thinker> and <Insight> activated.
I processed informations I have and predicted the cause of any possible actions I will take.
I finished calculating in 3 seconds.
After that, I looked at the 4 students with an annoyed expression.
Then in my mind, I mumbled.
'<Monarch's Presence>'
Fwoosh-
I activated the skill and also emitted my <F+> rank mana.
With <Monarch's Presence> combined with my mana it created a heavy pressure.
The heavy pressure darted towards the group and pressed on them.
"W-what?"
"You..."
All of them stiffened and sweats started to form on their foreheads.
I don't know any of their names. And I don't need to know.
I approached the leader.
He trembled slightly, they're weak to strong, and strong to weak.
Feeling that I'm stronger than they expected made them nervous. Because of that the pressure's effect was stronger.
I took his handkerchief in his chest pocket and wiped the spit on my shoe.
After that, I started wiping his forehead with the same handkerchief.
"You're sweating."
I said. All of them remained silent.
"You must be feeling angry being humiliated like this."
I talked again still wiping his sweat with the handkerchief.
"You must be planning to get your revenge after this right?"
He flinched.
'Bingo'
I slouched near his ear and whispered.
"I'm recording right now, once you or your group mess with me one more time I'm gonna upload this to social media platforms."
After hearing that, he glared at me.
I then straighten my posture again, ignoring their hate to me.
"I'll destroy your images and social life. Your family will be very disappointed on you guys."
I looked at the other three who also just remained silent.
"The same goes to you guys."
I tapped my watch and a hologram appeared. A video played.
Just in case, I started recording ever since they stopped me from entering the classroom.
I'm recording even now.
"You all looked pathetic."
I said.
In the video, they picked a fight on me but in the end, got intimidated. They will be a laughing stock if this get leaked. Considering my rank was supposed to be <F-> rank.
They're all hanging their heads down and biting their lips.
Click, Click, Click.
Clicking sounds were heard in the area. It was me tapping the watch.
Ping-
"Done!"
The 4 looked at me as they were curious at what I did. They seems pretty anxious.
Seeing that, I smiled and spoke.
"I uploaded the video."
Their faces crumbled, but I didn't mind and continued talking.
"Well, not really. It's an scheduled upload, it will be uploaded in a month from now, in every social media platforms, even in the Academy's page."
I said in a cheerful voice.
"I'm the only one who can change the schedule. Everytime it's about to be uploaded I'll add another month in the schedule."
I added. I'm not stupid, they might hire an assasin to kill or kidnap me.
You might think that's too unreasonable, but in this world, it's pretty common.
"But if something happens to me, the video will be uploaded on its own after a month."
They're still young so they care a lot about their image and reputation. Knowing that, I took advantage of it.
"So don't even try messing with me, oh! It will be uploaded even if it's not you guys who did something to me so you should protect me with your best."
In case this got uploaded after something happened to me, they'll be the main suspects.
I even gained some guards.
They were in verge of crying. It seems like as time passes the pressure affects them more, also because of what I did, they're mentally weak at the moment.
I calmed down and looked at them with indifferent eyes.
They all flinched seeing that.
"Move."
I commanded. And then they made way for me.
I deactivated <Monarch's Presence> and pulled back my mana aura.
They all gasped and chased their breaths as soon as I did.
"Don't hate me, I just fought back."
I said. As I was about to walk away, I turned back to them again. They flinched again.
'Do I look scary?'
"Just don't mess with me and the peoples around me and everything will be fine, so cheer up."
I said and went to my seat.
Then they all went back silently to their seats with a solemn expression.
They were not mentioned in my novel so their families are not that strong, well my family is just weak. But once I earned a lot of mone, it will change.
So before they decided to attack, I need to solidified a safe position to avoid things like this.
Then not long after that, the main characters came in the classroom together. Them being with each other this early is weird, they shouldn't be close with each other till next week.
Then they all looked at my direction, their gazes were filled with curiosity, surprise, questions, amusement and respect.
Except Eve, she just glanced at me for a second then went to her seat.
'What's with these guys?'
I thought. I'm not dumb not to notice they're looking at me.
"Weirdos"
I said and ignored them
***
Alec was about to go back to the classroom when he saw Eve, Aoi, Adelle and Curtis. All of them are in rank 10 on all freshmen so they know each other even a little.
As Alec got near them he noticed that they're looking at something.
To be exact, someone in the classroom's door, being blocked by 4 students.
It's Raven, but no one knows his name.
At Alec's and others' eyes, Raven is getting bullied.
"What are you guys doing?"
Alec asked the others after approaching them. The group all just glanced at him then looked back at Raven again.
"That guy, he's weird."
Only Adelle answered Alec. She said that while pointing at Raven.
"Weird? Him? Why?"
Alec asked again, he was confused.
"Look"
Adelle pointed at Raven.
"He's thinking at the moment, he's not even nervous."
She added. Alec looked at Raven and noticed that it was true.
Rather, Raven looks bored and annoyed.
"Ever since he showed up in the class this morning, all of his actions were weird."
Aoi said.
"He withstood Sir Kendy's pressure, even if Sir was holding back, it was still impressive."
Curtis said.
"He even called Sir 'petty', I heard him."
He added. Everyone there heard Raven say it.
"Even his choice of weapon is weird."
Aoi followed.
'True, only ordinary citizens uses gun nowadays.'
Alec thought.
"He also trained for an hour nonstop."
Aoi added.
"You've been watching him huh?"
Adelle said in a teasing tone.
"Not just me but everyone watched him unconsciously because of his actions, everyone did right?"
Aoi retorted.
"I did watch him for a while, but can't I just go in the classroom now?"
Eve joined the conversation for the first time.
"No, let's watch him a little longer, aren't you curious what's he gonna do?"
Adelle asked.
"Not really."
Eve replied immediately, looks like she wasn't really interested.
"If you want, let's just go to the cafeteria and have a date."
It was then, Curtis said to Eve and winked.
The other cringed seeing Curtis like that, even Eve who always wear a serious expression most of the time.
"I'll just stay and watch."
Eve declined Curtis's offer.
"Too bad, maybe next time then."
It was now pretty known that Curtis have a crush on Eve since the opening ceremony. He said it's love at first sight and confessed to Eve on the spot.
At first the group found it funny, but now it's just cringe to them.
"By the way, what's his name?"
Alec asked, referring to Raven. But no one answered, because no one knows.
Anyway, the group all decided to watch the situation a little longer.
They witnessed the 4 students spat out harsh insults to Raven, they even mocked his rank and ranking in the academy, even the weapon he chose.
They were pretty far, but Alec and the others enhanced their eyesights and hearings.
"Or you should just die."
The leaders of bullies said. It was then that Alec got really angry.
"Don't interfere, you're gonna make things worse for him."
Alec was about to rush at the bullies, but Curtis grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.
Alec calmed down and decided to observe the situation more first.
But as the time pass, Raven did nothing, he was still getting bullied.
"Maybe he's just really a weirdo."
Adelle mumbled.
"He's an <F-> rank based on his report card, his rank in all freshmen is low too. Maybe we just got excited for nothing."
Aoi added in a disapointed tone.
"Boring."
Curtis followed.
"Haa..."
Eve just sighed and started to walk toward the classroom. Then the others started to follow her, including Alec.
It was then, they saw the leader of the group spit on Raven's shoe.
Alec was really about to charge at them and beat the hell out of them.
But they saw Raven looked at the spit on his shoe with disgust.
And after a few seconds, he looked at the 4 students and his demeanor changed.
Resulting for Alec and the others to halt their steps, they can feel the aura and pressure coming from Raven even though they're a little far away from him.
They saw Raven then approached the leader, Raven took his handkerchief and wiped his shoe with it.
After that, Raven used the same handkerchief to wipe the sweats on the leader's forehead.
"You're sweating."
Raven's voice sent chills to Alec's spine as Raven looks like a king looking at some bugs.
Adelle and Curtis have a complicated expression at that moment.
"You must be planning to get your revenge after this right?"
But when Raven said that, the two of them frowned.
"So he know after all."
Curtis said.
"What is he planning?"
Aoi asked but no one answered, no one knows what's the answer anyway.
"I'm recording right now, once you or your group mess with me one more time I'm gonna upload this to social media platforms."
Curtis and the other was surprised in what Raven said.
"I'll destroy your images and social life. Your family will be very disapointed on you guys."
Raven tapped his watch and a hologram appeared. A video played, you can see the students harassing him and them being intimidated afterwards.
'When did he start recording?'
Alec and the others got the same question in their heads.
"Does this mean he predicted all of this?"
Adelle asked. Which caused the others to frowned, because if that's the case, then that means Raven have a great insight.
Ping-
"Done!"
Snapping them out of their thoughts is Raven's cheerful voice.
The group of bullies looked at Raven, Alec and the others too.
"You see, I uploaded the video."
After hearing that everyone's faces crumbled, except Raven and Eve.
"They will get their revenge after this because the video is already uploaded anyway."
Adelle said and the others agreed with her, they're confused of why he did that.
But they got their answer from Raven too.
"Well not really. It's an scheduled upload, it will be uploaded in a month from now, in every social media platforms, even in the academy's page."
Raven's cheerful explanation was so clear.
"I'm the only one who can change the schedule. Everytime the video is about to be posted I'll add another month to the schedule."
Raven started to explain more.
"But if something happen to me, the video will be uploaded on its own after a month."
Alec, and the others' eyes widened as they realized what Raven were saying.
"So don't even try messing with me, oh! As it will be uploaded even it's not you guys who did something to me, you should protect me with your best instead."
Then after destroying the bullies' mentality.
Raven regained his calm and collected look, then he opened his mouth.
"Move."
'It wasn't a request, it was a command.'
Alec and the others thought.
And seeing the bullies obeyed and made way for him like it was natural.
They felt awe for Raven.
The overwhelming pressure and aura of Raven disappear after that and he made his way to his seat.
Meanwhile, Alec, Eve, Adelle, Curtis, Aoi are still frozen in our place as they recalled what just happened.
"Wow."
Adelle admired. But no one in the group think it's weird as for them Raven is was really awesome at that time.
Raven controlled the situation swiftly without using violence, he doesn't even have a backing but still managed to win. He even hit harder. Well, they were jerks anyway so they deserve it.
"He's hot."
Adelle then added. This time, it got the group surprised, they're looking at her like she was weird.
"Why? His clean appearance, the way he speaks and also he's cunning. That makes him hot, the way he uses his brain makes my heart beat faster, and just look at his sharp eyes."
Adelle explained, but they're still looking at her the same way. Even Eve is frowning.
"I'm not in love okay, I just think he's hot!"
After that, they sighed.
The group ignored Adelle's reasonings and went in the classroom.
And when they entered the classroom, all of them looked at the same direction. To be exact, a certain young man, even Eve glanced at him.
Raven saw them looking at him, his brows knitted together.
"Weirdos"
Then said in a low voice, all of them heard it.
Causing Alec and the others to frown.
'You're the weirdest one here!'
They exclaimed internally while glaring at Raven.
