Panting heavily was Lauren who was lying on the ground while facing towards the sky. He has reached the last of his MC point. He could neither move his arms or legs due to how weak and drained he was. His two friends were at a distance, looking at him from afar. They wanted to move towards him but they couldn't move their feet. They were shocked and surprised at what they were seeing, Chris had managed to beat their friend who was claimed to be one of the strongest students in the whole academy. But how was Chris able to do that?
Apart from Chris beating up Lauren, the two students also noticed that the military soldiers who would often interfere into fights involving the affluent and deprived like these, never moved an inch close to any one of them. It was as if they were given an order not to interfere.
"This isn't right, but Chris is not from any rich family, is he?" Bob asked his friend, Sam, who nodded negatively.
"I don't think I've ever seen Chris's parents before."
The more they think of it, they just couldn't comprehend what was happening and why the military soldiers didn't interfere into the fight.
Standing with his fist clenched tightly and chest bare was Chris who was now in his human form. He had an angry expression on his face as he look towards Lauren. And slowly, he moved towards him, speaking as he took action.
"You think you can hurt my skin with your fire? Hear this, I really love fire, I can bath in fire. Fire is my food and tea. Even if a thousand of you come together to fight me, I will still defeat you all. You should never had fought me in the first place. Now you're weak and pathetic after running out of MC." Chris had already gotten close to him. His right index finger were pointing out at him.
"Thanks for wasting my time and tearing off my shirt, I hope you know your place from now on." Chris said and in a moment, he was gone.
Now Lauren was left laying on the ground with his eyes closed tightly as he tried to refill back his MC points. The two friends of his had immediately ran towards him after seeing that Chris was gone and won't be coming back.
"Lau, are you okay?" Sam asked.
"Idiot, don't you see that he's not okay." Bob suddenly answered, trying to get on Lauren's good side. Bob knew that they both had really fucked up, they couldn't do anything to stop Chris and could only run towards Lauren when the Mastermind of the incident was gone. So they had to do everything for Lauren so his anger won't be launched on them but on Chris. The soldiers who were around after seeing that the fight had ended had also move closer to take Lauren to the clinic. Well, they had a reason for not interfering in the fight, so they could only interfere when the fight was over.
A stretcher had been brought and Lauren was carefully taken to the clinic bay. He had woken up after passing out but his eyes were shut tightly. On their way to the clinic, Lauren's two friends won't stop talking.
"If not for that crazy dude, he wouldn't have been like this."
"Mehn, he's so strong. I wasn't able to hurt an hair of his body."
"Also, we weren't able to move at all, it was as if he had an invisible barrier that was preventing us from saving Lauren." Sam said, winking at Bob with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Lauren sighed deeply and as if he was talking in a dream, he started uttering some words and sentences.
"If only I had enough MC points, I would have killed that brat." Lauren uttered sadly but at the same time, it sounded painful to the hears of the listeners.
Lauren really tried his best to fight Chris but he wasn't lucky enough as his MC had already ran out before he could fight properly.
It was when Lauren was still encased in the fire ball that he created. He was sweating so badly that even the fish who sweats all the time while in the sea felt really bad for him. Actually, we can't see fishes' sweats but the water they live in contains their sweats, that's why they are slippery when touched, lol.
Lauren attempted to get out of the Fire ball and as he forcefully broke the fire ball, Chris was sent flying backwards into the air. Unfortunately, he landed near a metal bench which immediately tore the uniform he had on and also gave him a wound on his back. But thanks to his beasts' natural healing ability, the wound was healed and it disappeared like it was never there before.
Chris had tore the whole of his shirt uniform and swallowed by anger, he had started running towards Lauren, but something had slowed him down.
Lauren had gathered the remaining of the strength he could muster and had created a fire cloud. The fire could was now hovering over Chris head and no matter where he went to, the fire cloud will keep on following him. But, what was more terrifying was when rain of fires started falling down from the fire cloud onto Chris skin. And suddenly, Chris beast's body had caught fire as it burnt slowly.
Lauren had something in his mouth as he glanced at Chris with a wicked smile. "You're dead now."
Lauren kept on raining more and more rain of fire on Chris with the hopes of getting him burnt into crisp, but he failed to notice that his MC had reached 0. Even if he knew, he still wouldn't stop as his thought was that he had defeated Chris, there's no need saving up his MC to fight.
Finally, Lauren's MC had ran out and the fire cloud had ultimately stopped raining fire. But what shocked Lauren was how healthy Chris suddenly appeared. All the fire that was burning his body had been killed and the difference he saw in Chris was the two hot burning horns that was now on his head.
Chris smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I have evolved, and I'm now a Fire Minotaur." Like a speed of light, fire streamed out of Chris' two horns as they headed for Lauren's body. He tried to endure the heat of the fire, but he couldn't last long that he had passed out. His body wouldn't be able to endure so much fire because he had ran out of MC point, that's why he had immediately passed out the moment the fire touched his body.

After leaving Lauren in his weak state, Chris headed for his dorm room to have a nice evening shower.
