The five assailants did not waste any more time and charged towards Kyle right away. They were already used to ganging up on Kyle and he usually didn't make any effort to retaliate since they always overwhelmed him.
However they were unaware that the situation wasn't the same as it used to be before. Kyle grabbed the first one to get closer to him by the collar and flung him away instantly.
The body collided with the brick wall and landed on the floor. Before the rest could wrap their heads around what they had just witnessed Kyle launched his fist towards the jaw of the second one standing next to him.
Just like the first one, the second body also flew sideways from Kyle and also landed on the ground.
The others backed away instinctively, but unfortunately one of them was too slow. Kyle grabbed his arm and twisted it in the opposite direction, breaking his bones in the arm.
The crew member screamed out of the immense pain he was feeling. Kyle held onto his arm and continued to twist it as a way of torturing him. As a result he could see the expression of fear on the faces of the rest of the crew members as they stared at him in shock.
"This is impossible. Did you lowlife somehow awakened already?" One of the remaining standing crew member uttered.
"Now you finally understand the full picture and you must have realized that you shouldn't have followed me into this alley. I didn't pick this spot for you but for my own comfort. This alley is the perfect spot for me to beat you all up as savagely as I would love to." Kyle revealed with a wicked smile.
"You fucking bastard, what the hell do you think you're doing right now? Did you think because you've awakened some lousy abilities that give a little bit of physical boost you can top all of us that have trained our abilities to the level you can't reach?"
Kyle chuckled before responding. "You're right but do you think my talent is significantly less than yours? In fact you're a much bigger fool for not understanding this current situation you guys have fallen into at the moment."
"Even if my attack earlier was a surprise to you all, did you possibly think I would be able to knock two of your own easily with the less talent I possess considering the amount of training you boasted to have received?"
"Shut it bastard, do you think our Jake would let this go easily if he finds out? No matter what level of talent you awaken, you won't be able to beat him. So just release the hostage you're holding now and come with us silently now and things will be a lot easier for you."
"Yes, we can even help you to put a good word to Jake and maybe you can be recruited into our crew." Another crew member supported.
Kyle burst into loud laughter before a frown appeared on his face. "Does it look like I care about what those lowlifes think or do?" He said while glaring at them.
"I would advise you to take your current situation seriously rather than worrying about unnecessary things because I don't plan on letting anyone of you off easily either. So come at me with everything you got." Kyle declared.
After hearing Kyle's threat, the rest clenched their fists and were ready to take this fight more seriously.
"You better be ready because you are about to realize that you messed with the wrong people."
Before they were all unaware that Kyle had also awakened his abilities which was why they were caught off guard by his sudden attack. However, now that they had gotten the hint they believed that they would be able to subdue him because Kyle no longer had the element of surprise.
Even though he had defeated three of their members easily, Kyle was still outnumbered by them which gave them the advantage over him.
Kyle could see through their facade. He was able to tell that they were afraid and hesitant to attack him but they were going confidence in their numbers which was pointless because no matter what they did he would dominate them.
Kyle released the arm that he had been holding before taking his stance. "Bring it on losers, I'll end this quickly." He confidently declared to the remaining four opponents that were about to attack him.
The alley was too narrow for all of them to attack Kyle altogether, so only two were able to do so simultaneously.
However, Kyle wasn't planning to allow either of them to attack first. Instead, he dashed towards them, grabbed their faces and slammed them into the ground using brutal force.
As he approached the third opponent, he walked past the bodies lying on the ground unconsciously.
Several wind blades were launched towards Kyle as he moved closer to his target but he was able to avoid them effortlessly which made his third opponent restless.
Kyle raised his foot and stomped it hard on the ground to cause his opponent to stumble. This gave him the opportunity to get closer to him faster and strike him down with a high kick to the face.
Kyle looked around to find his final target. However, he was nowhere to be found. A smirk appeared on Kyle's face before suddenly moving his body to the side in order to avoid an invisible attack that was about to hit him from behind.
"So you're the one with the assassin's skill capable of hiding your presence, It's not a bad ability although it would have been better if I couldn't still sense you somehow. it's a useless ability to use against me, so you should just reveal yourself and don't bother trying," Kyle warned
After waiting for a few seconds without receiving a response Kyle chuckled. " You must think I am bluffing right.." Kyle shifted his gaze to look in another direction "....too bad you made the wrong choice."
Kyle launched several windblades like those used against him earlier to the top of a corner of the wall.
"Arrgh." the last member of the gang screamed out after he was slashed by the windblades Kyle had launched towards him. He had been hiding on the wall thinking that Kyle wouldn't be able to detect him from that distance and even if he did he wouldn't be able to attack since he was a close combatant.
However, he had miscalculated because he was unaware of what Kyle's true ability was.
He was shocked to see Kyle using the same ability that one of his friends used to attack Kyle a few minutes earlier. Though he saw the blades flying towards him, he was unable to avoid them because they were too fast for his speed.
He still tried to maintain his invisible form however he wasn't able to control it any longer because a fireball suddenly collided with his body and burnt his chest.
Several places on his body were slashed by the wind blades,which had caused him to fall to the ground. Now he lay motionless as after being hit by the fireball Kyle had launched towards him.
"How...How did you do these?" he asked, stuttering as Kyle walked towards him.
"This isn't right, just how many powers do you possess?" he asked unbelievable tone
" It's crazy right, tranforming from a weakling to a monster in just two weeks."
"You..You are.."
Kyle placed his foot on his chest and bent his waist in order to move his face closer to his opponents face. " I warned you, didn't I? I told you didn't this would be very painful for you all. Don't worry, you're just going to be in a hospital for a while because the blades cuts were kinda deep but I want you to tell Jake when he comes to find you that he should come find me himself and not send his dogs. Do you understand?"
Nod, Nod, Nod
"Well done, don't worry people will come here to find you." Kyle launched a fireball to the entrance of the alley to grab passersby attention which definitely worked because awakened officers were now rushing into the alley to investigate the cause of the commotion.
"Bye" Kyle said before completely erasing his presence a moment before the officers arrived at the scene.
On his way home after escaping the scene, Kyle kept thinking about the altercation he just had with Jake's lackeys back in the alley. Previously he wasn't so sure about what kind of ability he had awakened although he had some suspicions.
The fight back in the alley finally gave me the answer he wanted. Kyle realized that his awakened ability was to mimic the abilities of his opponents and use them. He still didn't understand how he was able to do it.
Kyle smiled wryly. Despite not knowing the limits of his power the fact remains that he was no longer a weakling and he was very must stronger than the people who once seemed to has high as a mountain he would never be able to reach.
Kyle arrived at the bustop but he had already missed the first and the next would take about twenty minutes. At this point there was no doubt he was going to be late home, so he decided to just run home instead since he was faster than a bus.
