On his way out of the Red Mountain Academy's gates. Tang Wulin's mind starts to wonder about today and how the kids around him are starting to reject him.
Mostly because of him constantly ignoring their existence, something they aren't used to. While he didn't care about their feelings towards him, it still made a chuckle a bit about their behavior.
On the way to his house, he felt his stomach rumbling as if it was trying to tell him to hurry home to eat.
He couldn't help but sigh on how much he needs to eat now and wonder if his martial soul increased his appetite.
'Then again, it was like this when I started learning Dragon Slayer.' Thought Tang Wulin in amusement.
As he moved through the park, which was apart of the path he needed to reach home. He noticed the commotion with a group of kids, but he disregards them in favor of one person.
A little girl was squatted down near the roadside, with eyes that were sullen.
She was slightly shorter than everyone him with a head of short silver hair and violet eyes. She was wearing beggar type clothing and seem to be cowering while the group of kids surrounded her.
Normally, Tang Wulin wouldn't care about these types of commotion as it had nothing to do with him and the frequency of these commotions.
Yet this time, he felt his nose twitches as if it was trying telling him something.
"I… smell a dragon." Mutter Tang Wulin as he slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Little-" before the delinquent could finish his sentence.
A 6-year-old with short black hair, walk right past him and his group of friends before squatting down in front of them.
Then to their surprise, the boy grasps the girl's cheek and raises it up so he can see her face. Tang Wulin said nothing as he stared at the violet eyes of the girl as if he was studying her, finding out what was so special.
The girl slightly flinches but still looks back at the boy in front of her, who was holding her cheeks but was saying nothing.
The delinquents noticed this too, with some of them a bit surprised at this display. They all wondered how the boy and girl in front of them could act like this as if they were the only here.
" I don't know who you are but-" Said the black hair delinquent but before he could finish his sentence he was backhand away.
This stuns the rest of the delinquent as they were too shocked to understand how a 6-year-old could send one of them flying backward.
The youth who was sent flying started to regain his bearing, noticing his nose his bleeding, started to feel a burning rage and humiliation. As not only did he get smack away by a little kid but that same little kid caused him to bleed.
"Cripple this brat!" Shouted the bleeding youth with his eyes narrowed.
The other boys blinked before they started to move to the boy in front but they found the boy was standing up and turned his gaze towards them.
They all felt an unimaginable pressure hit them as if they were drowning undersea.
The youth who had the bleeding nose look around noticing his comrades aren't moving. He turns to the boy and for a split second freak out as he swore he saw a silhouette.
It had blue marking, red pupilless eyes, sharp teeth and horns with a grin on its face in place of the boy. Tang Wulin turned to look at the boys in front of him and then smirked as he ran towards the boys.
The first boy flinches after seeing Tang Wulin running towards him and tried to throw a fist in hopes of scaring the boy.
Tang Wulin easily sidesteps the sloppy punch then thurst out his fist to the boy's face causing him to stagger and then buried his fist inside his stomach.
The boy quickly keeled over as started coughing up saliva mix with blood with Tang Wulin noting he may have broken the boy's rib.
'Did my strength increase?' Thought Tang Wulin as he inspected his fist.
Shaking his head, he turned towards the other stunned delinquents. He sighed gently while muttering the word weaklings before rushing towards the other boys.
The young girl watches in shock as the small boy begins beating the other boys senseless with a look of boredom as if that whole situation was troublesome.
Countless fists and kicks were lashed out, that was rain down on the group of youths. She couldn't help but quiver, as it became more of a one-sided beating, the longer time went on.
It was only after another minute before the fight came to an end, with the boys laying flat on the ground, all around Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin look down on the boys on the ground before scoffing and turning to the girl. He watches her flinch away, not caring at all as he went to grab her hand and forced her to walk with him, ignoring all her protest.
Surprisingly there was none, he didn't think too much about it. As he figured she was still recovering from watching that beatdown or had the self-awareness to know she couldn't escape his grip.
One boy and girl were walking down the streets as the sun was setting. Covered in the dirt with his hand firmly on the girl's wrist a sight very unusual indeed.
Tang Wulin saw his house and step through the door while dragging the girl inside easily then closing the door.
"Tang Tang! My baby boy is back." Screamed his affectionate mother as she ran straight into him, naturally making both of them and the astonished girl whose hand he was still grasping, fall too.
Long Yue felt something was wrong when she tackled her beloved son, blinking she got up and instantly saw the dirt on his shirt and shorts.
"Wulin, what happened to your shirt, it so dirty." Cried Lang Yue while constantly searching his body for any more dirt spots and ignoring the girl next to him.
"Please, stop conveniently ignoring everything but me." Said Tang Wulin with a sigh.
Still, he wasn't surprised as he knew how his mom naturally tended to only focus on him when she sees or feels something bad happened to him.
Lang Yue blink before looking around and wondering what her Tang Tang meant. Her gazed move around until she saw an adorable girl laying down next to him.
"Ohhhhh! You're so cute! " Exclaimed his mother as she went to bring the little girl into a hug. Tang Wulin watch silent, knowing she won't stop anytime soon.
After a while, his mom asks if she was one of his friends from school.
"No. I just saw her being surrounded by some weaklings and then went to go beat them up."Said Tang Wulin bluntly, seeing no reason to lie.
Lang Yue knew those "weaklings" were the neighborhood delinquents that hang around the area causing trouble.
She really hopes those boys were ok, and nothing was broken.
While it may be odd that Lang Yue is worried about the boys and not her son. It must know her son for the past years has been sending some of these delinquent to the hospital.
After a while, she stops scolding her son after the first few times. She sometimes wondered how some of these boys keep mistaking him for a normal 6-year old boy.
'Honestly, I thought he would have been famous by now.' Thought Lang Yue with her lips twitching.
Sighing at her son action and then smiling when she realizes this is the first time her son went out of his way for someone other than his parents.
She has never heard or seen her son help out anyone even when their situation was horrible or if he could help out.
She then turns her head to the girl in her arm and asks her where her parent is. The girl shook her and looks at her as if she didn't understand what she meant.
Before his mom could say anything, she was interrupted by the girl and her son's stomach rumbling.
Laughing out loud, she invites the girl to dinner, while suggesting that after dinner she will help the girl look for her family.
She was thinking of meeting the family, where she can set up some play dates, with the girl and her son. With the hopes that this girl may be the one to help her son "socialize" with other people his age.
'This may be able to work.' Thought Lang Yue as she laughs inwards.
Her son didn't give the girl a choice to answer before he drags her to the table, causing Lang Yue lips to twitch.
"Oh, you two go wash up first. I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your name," Said Lang Yue as she looks at Tang Wulin taking Na'er up to the bathroom.
"N... Na… Na Er."
