Chereads / I Am A Mana God / Chapter 7 - Rite of Passage

Chapter 7 - Rite of Passage

"Dude, what the fuck?! Why the hell did you bring me here?!" Jacob could only yell out loud as he was forcibly yanked out of his chair and brought to the school gymnasium by the surprisingly strong Mark. "You could've just asked me to come! Why the fuck did you have to pull me by my collar and drag me through the hallway like a goddamn dog!"

Jacob got up from the ground and patted his whole body before turning to look at the still indifferent Mark with a glare. "Dude! What the fuck, are you even listening to me?"

Yes. As Jacob had figured out, Mark was indeed not listening to his whining. Instead, his eyes were focused on the ground, on the pathway right outside the gymnasium, scanning the dirt as though he was searching for something.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

He then began walking to the back part of the gymnasium, and Jacob, annoyed yet curious, decided to follow Mark, trying to figure out what he was searching for.

'Where the fuck are these things?!' Mark didn't show it on the outside, but in his mind, he was getting irritated. 'Tracking things was way too simple when I was a god… Oh, how I miss my glorious life!'

"Hello! Earth to Mark! Is anybody there?" Jacob grabbed his earlobe and screamed into his left ear, making Mark flinch and take a few steps back as he was caught off guard. "What the fuck?!"

"Ah, so you CAN be caught off-guard! I guess you're not a god then, huh?" Jacob snorted as he spoke with an evil grin on his face, and Mark replied, "You know I can kick your ass if I wanted to, right?"

"Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa man.. take it easy, alright?" Jacob immediately got all defensive, placing his hand up in front of his chest and continued, "Can't I have some fun with someone whom I love deeply?"

"Alright, I wasn't going to, initially.. But I'm going to kick your ass just for that last line!" Mark said as he cracked his neck and began walking towards Jacob, who in turn began to move back.

Pssss!

Right then, a faint rustling noise entered into Mark's ears, and he turned his head around in an instant, which made Jacob flinch.

But he soon realized that Mark hadn't punched him yet, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He then followed the gaze of Mark, who was staring down onto the ground as though he had found gold.

"Got you, you little shit!" Mark spoke with excitement and he immediately rushed forward, leaving behind a puzzled Jacob, and knelt down on the dirt.

"What the hell is he doing?" Jacob watched with confusion in his eyes as Mark took a pocket knife from his pocket and slammed it onto the dirt with force!

Ssshheee!

As soon as he stabbed the knife into the dirt, a loud screeching sound was heard, and Jacob immediately covered both his ears.

'What the fuck? What on earth-' Before he could even finish his thoughts, a small hole opened up on the ground, and a tiny creature shot out from underneath the soil and into the air in an instant.

Whoosh!

The creature landed on the ground, and it sprinted away from Mark with an incredible speed.

"Is that some sort of a rat?" Jacob asked instinctively, and in the next second, he shook his head.

'No, no, no…. That definitely wasn't a rat!' He didn't see the creature clearly since it was moving very quickly, but he was able to catch a few glimpses of the creature, and he could tell that although the creature might've initially looked like a rat, it certainly wasn't one.

The creature was a bit bigger than a rat, and its physical appearance was a bit different from a rat, being similar in appearance to a dinosaur or a crocodile. And its skin, although initially seemed to have been black in color, was more of a dark purple color.

As Jacob wondered what the creature that he saw was, Mark, who saw that the creature was trying to escape, immediately leapt into the air and dashed towards it, closing the gap between the two within an instant.

Jacob, who was already surprised by what was happening in front of him, was now even more surprised after watching Mark run with lightning speed.

"Shaar!" The creature hissed at the predator that was closing in on it, but Mark didn't even care, and within seconds, he lowered his hand close to the ground as he moved, and swung it!

WHAM!

He had grabbed onto the creature, and despite the creature struggling desperately in his hands, Mark didn't let go of it. In fact, his grip on the creature tightened even more as a result of the creature's struggles.

Shee! Shee!

Mark brought the struggling creature and brought it in front of the still amazed Jacob, and pushed it onto his chest.

THAK!

"Wh- What?! What? What the fuck are you doing dude? Why the fuck are you pushing this fucking thing onto me, man?" Jacob, who had been initially caught off guard, immediately became flustered by the sudden action of Mark, and took a few steps back in response.

Mark took a few steps towards him in response to what he did.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

He then slipped his right hand into his pocket and took out the pocket knife that he had used just now.

WHAM!

This time, he pushed the knife into Jacob's hands, who subconsciously grabbed onto it, and Mark immediately left his grip on it.

"What the fuck are you doing, man? Why the fuck did you give me your knife, now?" Jacob was now even more confused by Mark's actions. He wanted to know what Mark was really doing.

"You want to beat up the ones who bullied you, right?" Mark asked with a calm expression on his face, and Jacob raised his eyebrows and replied, "What?"

"You said you wanted to beat up the ones who bullied you, right? That's what you said?" Mark pulled the creature close to his chest and pointed his finger at it before continuing, "Stab that knife into its heart!"
