Skye started walking towards the basketball team. He's staring at them coldly.
The whole team was shocked. They didn't think that Skye would fight back, much less knocking out two people in a short time. The captains squinted his eyes, making sure that what he is seeing is real. Noticing that Skye is coming over to them, the captain ordered more of his men to attack Skye.
They hesitated at first, fear can be seen in their eyes. They keep on alternating their looks towards their fallen comrade and towards Skye. The captain, noticing that no one's going forward, his arrogant attitude from earlier were long gone and was replaced with anxiety and fear. He lashed out at his teammates.
"Bastards! Get him! If no one of you goes, I'll have my father take care of you!" He screamed almost hysterically.
Hearing their captain's threat, all of them went out and started running towards Skye. They were only afraid of him because he is the mayor's son. Physical pain is nothing compare to whatever the mayor strings can pull. Too bad they didn't know Skye's real identity.
As the basketball team were rushing towards Skye, he was also walking towards them with an unhurried pace. The one nearest towards him, aiming a punch towards his head, were pulled by the arm and punch him in the gut, the same actions he did to the first guy earlier. Then more of them came, they kept on throwing punches towards Skye but he just effortlessly dodging them. Boredom was now drawn on Skye's face. He stopped dodging and caught thrown at him and kick the guy's jaw, he was immediately knocked out. He then went to another guy and punched him in the face. From a third party it seems like Skye is a protagonist from a Hollywood movie. The process of closing in and either punching and kicking happen for some time before all from the basketball teams were on the ground, only the captain and Jessica were left.
This whole time, Jessica was trembling with fear visible on her face. There's even a yellowish liquid coming out from the middle part of her body dripping down her legs. The basketball captain was no better. His back is drenched from sweat, while his knees were shaking.
Skye walked towards the two of them with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He stopped about three steps away from the captain, raised both of his hands and clapped them loudly. The captain's knee became like jelly as he slowly got down on both of his knees, tears streaming down his face. As for Jessica, her eyes turned white as she falls backwards her head hitting the floor hard.
Skye looked at them for a while before turning around towards the exit. Before he gets out, he looked towards one corner of the gym, where a CCTV camera was placed at. His stared at it for some moments and then he went out.

Principal's Office.
Principal Labalo was doing his paper works when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Excuse me." John then entered. He is the head security of the school. He's a retired military officer and a friend of principal Labalo. One of the few who knows of Skye's identity.
"What is it that you yourself has to come here in person?" Principal Labalo asked.
"Well. Mayor Gagogid's son tried to beat up someone again."
"That again? How many times has it been? Tell the mayor that if the family of the victim were to ask for responsibility for it, I'll expel his son." Principal Labalo said while massaging his head.
"Hold that thought. I'll show you something interesting." John said as he pushed the holopad [1] he was holding towards the principal.
Principal took it and looked over it. It was a video. It started when the two guys brought Skye inside the gym. The moment he saw Skye, he became anxious.
"What the hell!? Why is it him?" He was about to drop the holopad to stand when John interjected.
"He's more than okay. Nothing happened to him. Just continue watching the video."
Principal Labalo breathed in heavily and decided to continue watching the movie. The expression on his face change multiple times watching the video. There was anxiousness, relief, excitement, shock and fear. He seems to be like watching a Hollywood action movie. At the last part of the video where Skye was about to exit, when he looked back and gaze at the camera, principal Labalo felt fear. It felt like Skye was looking straight at him.
Principal Labalo gently dropped the holopad and anxiously looked at John, which was returned with a grin by John.
"Is this scripted?" Principal Labalo asked.
"No. I knew this kid was more than his looks." John said, still grinning like a kid.
"What happened to the others?"
"I called their parents then deliver them to the hospital. As for the girl, I have someone send her to her house."
"Good job. I'll fill in president Thomas of what happened. As for the others…" principal Labalo paused for a bit.
"…let's just hear what they have to say. We'll just show them the video. It was their kids that attacked first, so what the Farra kid did was considered self-defense." He then picked up his phone to make a call.

The moment Skye arrived at his grandfather's room, he noticed his grandfather and his uncle Tom looked at him strangely.
'The school must have notified them of what happened.' He thought.
Skye got near them, took a chair and sat on it.
"The principal said you've been in a fight? You've never fought outside training before." Old man Kristoff ask, to which Skye immediately replied.
"Self-defense."
Old man Kristof laughed at his answered, while Tom smiled. It seems that they're not angry towards Skye's action at all.
"Indeed. I did not raise you to be trampled down by others. Your martial arts training from Thomas seems to be useful." Old man Kristoff nod his head with his eyes closed.
"He still has a lot to learn." Tom interjected. "By the way, we will be visiting your school tomorrow. The person in charge of the charity proposed to donate there."
"Yeah, I've heard of it." Skye answered back. "My back aches because of cleaning this whole afternoon. Uncle should add some vacuum and grass cutter bots to the list."
"I'll notify them." Tom answered Skye, then look towards the old man. The old man nodded, indicating he agrees to whatever decision Tom had made. Tom nodded back. "And you will stay with me tomorrow. It's time to let everyone know that you're the inheritor of the empire."
Skye turned towards his grandfather, who was smiling at him with expectation in his eyes. He must be tired of having his heir unknown to the world. Skye just agreed towards his uncle tom which made his grandfather happy. After that they talked about what happened at school that caused today's event and many other things. Skye right now just wanted his grandfather to be happy.
Skye stayed in the hospital until it gets dark and then went home. He ordered takeout on the way from a family restaurant. The moment he arrived, he started eating immediately then went to bed.
