Chapter 20 - Surprise in The Dusk

As usual, he didn't save breath during his training session, going to complete exhaustion.

'Even being in this state I know it's for something that will bear fruit in the future,' thought Ayden.

Curious, he decides to check the status gained. As much as the status points are obtained in real-time, he finds it more interesting to check everything at once at the end of a training session.

Those were Ayden's gains after today's afternoon training session:

+1 Strength

+ 1 Stamina

+ 1 Vitality.

+1 Mea.

'Well... Maybe not so far in the future,' he thought with a smile on his face.

When he looks at the room's augmented reality clock and realizes that it's about 30 minutes to 6 pm, he decides to start practicing the Breath of Life to regain some energy and relieve some of his fatigue.

+5 Mea

"Sigh~ Much better!" said Ayden after getting up and stretching a bit.

'Six-thirty in the afternoon... I'm kinda hungry so I'll stop by the cafeteria, get something to eat and then go back to my dorm!'

Without delay, he decides to leave the training center.

After walking for a while on the shortcut he recently discovered, Ayden starts to have a strange feeling and decides to look at his back.

Suddenly, he is caught off guard by a strong gust of wind and ends up falling to the ground.

"what strong wind is this?" Said Ayden sitting on the floor with an incredulous look.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"??!!"

The person who was following him and said that phrase is the one who was watching Ayden at the gymnasium earlier, Wayde.

He has an ability that allows him to control the wind.

While trying to get up and question Wayde, Ayden is smacked right in the belly, almost falling to the ground again.

Ayden is surprised because he didn't notice any movement coming from the person who made him fall before.

Right after being hit, he starts to hear a mocking voice.

"Oh? look at him, I could have sworn he'd hit the ground again!"

Still recovering from the surprise blow, Ayden notices a strange phenomenon beside Wayde, as if something is slowly coming out of nowhere.

After a few seconds, these strange distortions start to disappear, revealing the figure of a person.

He is the other student who was talking with Asher and Wayde in the cafeteria, Crag.

An invisibility ability user.

"Who are you?" Asked Ayden.

As he prepares to respond to Ayden's question, he is abruptly interrupted.

"His name is Crag, just a perv..." Wayde said with a shrug.

"I'm a Perv? Hahaha! Look at the things you say... It's just some rumors," he replied with an expression that demonstrates the complete opposite of what he was saying.

Ayden, still confused, tries to search his memories for reasons why these two individuals are attacking him.

'I didn't even have the time to make some mess...' He thought.

Right now, after being caught by two surprise attacks, Ayden is on high alert. Thanks to this, he notices an intense heat coming from his back at high speed and, at the last second, manages to dodge with a roll, suffering only a slight burn on the shoulder.

"Just so you know, this was a warning shot." Said Asher, who, after the attack, can be seen a few meters behind Ayden.

Warning shot? If Ayden hadn't dodged in time, his arm probably would have turned into barbecue.

That's the first face Ayden recognized at first sight. But why the hell are he and these other two teaming up to attack him? In Ayden's mind, he didn't do anything wrong, so he decided to ask to satisfy his curiosity before making any move.

"Why are you attacking me?"

He knows very well the situation he's in at the moment, but this isn't the first time he's been put in that position. It's happened to him a few times in the past. He just hopes the answer will be different this time.

"If you want to know that badly I'll tell you, because it's nothing too complicated anyway..."

Meanwhile, in the administrative structure of the college...

"Director, the system installed on the wristwatch of four students is sending us signals that signify a possible engagement in battle..."

"Has any beast or enemy invaded the school even with all the equipment and security?"

"That is not the case," replied the member of the intelligence team after sighing.

"I want live images of the place and that four members of the night patrol team to be prepared in the vicinity so that, on my signal, they interfere when necessary." Commanded the director and general.

After receiving the order, the man presses a button behind his ear, making a kind of glasses and microphone appear in the form of a hologram.

"As you wish, sir!"

Without wasting any time, he sends the messages and at the same time presses his wristwatch, performing some combinations that result in four augmented reality screens seen from four different angles appearing in front of the director.

"I already gave the command as you requested"

"Nice work, thank you captain, you are free to go now."

After dismissing the captain of the intelligence team, Jaxon turns his attention to the screens in front of him.

"Oh? Three against one? What did this kid do to piss them off so much?" said Jaxon raising one of her eyebrows. 'These snobby kids think they can do whatever they want around here? For now, let's see how this situation will play out.'
