[Flint: "Hey, Ren, can't you be this water under the bridge and join the class?"]
["You know that I've never considered myself part of this class..."]
Especially not after THAT incident...
[Flint: "I know... but it's a shame... I just hoped it could be like back then."]
["Yeah... no, I'll pass on that."]
I lifted my fist and brought it down with all I had, but Flint caught my wrist and pushed my arm up. With our arms tied up like this, I obviously had an advantage, even if his strength stat was higher than mine. Because I have an extra limb.
I made my tail grow and struck Flint in the back of his knee, bringing him down to his knees.
[Flint: "Ugh!"]
With flints face out of the way, I can finally fire my breath weapon.
I opened my mouth and channeled my mana to my throat.
It felt like Iw drinking warm honey while having a sore throat.
Then I felt a click, and a flaming hot stream of fire burst forth from my mouth, headed straight towards Enrico.
That's It. Finally...
But why do you have to stick your nose in this matter now, huh, Jack?
As the fire was about to Incinerate Enrico, Jack Ward, someone I considered a friend, cut apart the flame with a golden sword held in his hands...
Didn't he treat you like shit as well?
Why do you decide to help him now?
I don't get It... But fine... If you want it like that...
["JACK! BACK DOWN, NOW!"]
I pushed harder against Flint, who was already on his knees, pressing him against the ground.
["AND YOU TOO, FLINT!"]
[Jack: "Dude, This isn't right! You can't just kill him!"]
["OH, DON'T WORRY, I WON'T KILL HIM, I'LL JUST BREAK EVERY SINGLE BONE IN HIS BODY. ONE. AFTER. ANOTHER."]
I straightened my back and walked towards Jack.
This burning feeling deep inside me wouldn't subside, and I didn't want It to.
I WANT TO BURN EVERYTHING AS THIS FEELING DOES TO MY MIND.
I know I've always had some kind of anger issue, but frankly, I don't care. If they deserve it, I'll deliver.
As Flint tried to get back up, I used my tail to whip his feet away beneath his body, making him fall again.
[Jack: "Ren, just calm down. No need to rage like that!"]
As my vision gradually reddened, the last thing I remember is that I closed the distance between Jack and me with a dash and delivered a punch to his face.
